Dear Yumeko, Assuming that one is weak water and weak earth. You can use the Compatibility report at www.geomancy-online.com to look at the binding element for a weak water and weak earth person. For these two persons - the proposed binding element would be two elements. In locations in the house in particular: your bedroom and living room area; you can enhance the bedroom with the binding elements. For example: since a weak water and weak earth person would need two binding elements then: a combination of enhancement can be:- - paint the walls in one of the binding element colour. And e.g. for the wardrope use the second binding element. Or instead, use the appropriate …

Dear Hoa Luong, Personal relationships can be strong. And binding element e.g. in the home may not be able to help much. In your boyfriend's case, try to enhance personal self e.g. wear more green or brown colours. And for yourself, you can reduce your water e.g. wearing red. This should help abit. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Niap Vun, One may have to weigh one's priorty here. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Catherine, 1. Overall, the concept of condominiums is considered by standards "pretty new". 2. The earliest adoption of pools in estates can be derived more from hotels. And in Singapore, this is only become popular (due to affluence) in the last 20 years. 3. Therefore, there are not much case studies to say for sure whether, the effects of a water position that you mentioned in a high rise may or may not lead to `roving eye'. I.e. frankly, we cannot say for sure if this is going to happen (in majority of the cases). As no one has fully looked at this situation. And as we are all aware, as relationships are private nature, no one would be willing to share their exp…

Dear TB, Usually, the cure depends on the three element combination of the #mountain with #water and the base number. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Patricia, The best on can do here is to use plants/bushes along the fence to screen from the neighbour. Plants are the best resort in this situation. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Angelica, 1. Yes, it is a common occurence to place two tiger statues with mouths wide open on each side of the main entrance door mainly for protection. 2. Try to add a red ribbon on the neck of each of the tiger statues. 3. Basically, the tiger statue e.g. white or gold represents the Metal element. 4. And the red ribbon helps to control the tiger. Usually, a pearl is added to the centre of the ribbon. 5. On another issue of `wealth' as opposed to protection:- For a north facing entrance, it is particularly auspicious to use the two tiger statues (white or gold). As metal is auspicious for this sector. Thus metal, helps water to grow. Thus an auspicious combinatio…

Dear Patrick, 1. Imagine luck as the reception of wealth. And one good visual example is to clasp one's two hands together. Here, if the house is on the `pan' or on the palm, this is good. 2. Thus, if one can visualise the above, a house below road level may not necessarily be bad. On the contrary, if there is excellent drainage, not too deep or angled depth, it can be a good house. 3. However, it has to depend on a case-by-case basis. But, the noticable sign is that your home is not alone in the neigbhourhood. And there are many homes within your estate. 4. If there are many of such homes within the vicinity of your house and they are in "good repair", then, it is a goo…

Dear Anon, In Feng Shui, where the kitchen door face the front door, it is good not to expose cutlery e.g. forks or knifes (if there is a kitchen table top) facing the door. Otherwise, there is not much one can do here. A stove can still face the refrigerator. However, hopefully, this is not the north part of the house or the kitchen is not at the north compass direction. Where, fire element is quite weak. Overall, such a senario you mentioned: cannot be undone unless there is a renovation involved i.e. there is no `magic' involved unless there is physical renovations involved here. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, it would be better to `fix' the leak. 2. Overall, using a metal windchime or metal at sectors are relatively safe: a. In past forum messages, I mentioned that metal element is a common cure for most of the Flying Star ailments. b. Therefore, there is relatively no harm using it. The only repercussion of using a windchime wrongly is or the result is problems related to sleep. It is felt that playful imps may give us nightmare and for those who cannot sleep properly afterwards, should remove them. 3. Even if North West is considered a good sector, windchime does not automatically become a good candidate. Usually, it has to be analysed within a …

Dear Niap Vun, Please see below:- The above is a stand method to usher in good luck to an office in the `Traditional' method. I am aware that not many people may want to practise the above especially if the office is situated in an open area (no privacy). And it can be rather inconvenient. Frankly, this is the only method. It is not possible to elaborate on Shapes & Form in a single message. But you may have to read more about it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wendy, 1. In my opinion, for an office environment - it is common to find certain offices or sitting positions with a glass wall behind it. 2. Where possible, in such situations, have a back personal "side-table" along the glass panel. This is symbolic of a mountain effect. And makes the ratio of nearly 33.3 percent or more - with shelves and the upper half glass panels. It would thus qualify as a mountain support in such a situation. 3. Usually, many offices will try to maximise document space with such side or back shelving. 4. If the above is not possible, then curtain blinds either horizontal type or vertical type is still acceptable as a symbolic screen. 5. In …

Dear Stacey, 1. What you are looking at is only based on `micro' Feng Shui. Although it is nice to get micro Feng Shui right, it is just part of holistic Feng Shui. (External environment is equally important). 2. Usually, in micro Feng Shui, the entire house Feng Shui is looked at. Not just whether the main door is facing southeast or southwest. Do also look at intangile force facing the bedroom area. 3. If the main door is really needed to be changed: it can be tilted to `kill two birds' with one stone i.e. away from SW and facing a good direction. However, usually a good date is chosen and the precise angled calcuated for the owner (to benefit him/her). Warmest Regards,…

Dear Piet, To be honest, the only thing is to relocate the toilet. But, may not be practical or allowed by the owner of the second floor. The only way is to relocate the toilets. Otherwise, thre is really nothing much one do. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Chinese numerology and even any other numerology can be very confusing. This is because, there can be varied interpretation. And the same number can be considered auspicious but can also be interpreted as inauspicious. For example: a number such as 5. Some consider it auspicious because, 5 represents `balance' or the Five Elements concept. While others may view it differently e.g. Flying Star number which is inauspicious as it is also known as " misfortune " or Deadly Yellow or bad yellow star. 2. In Chinese numerology, the phonetic sound is equally important. Especially numbers like 4 represents " die " in Cantonese. While `8' represents `fatt' or prosperi…

Dear Anon, 1. Usually, there is no impact on your home especially if it is an ancient or old site. 2. So long as it is not a location of mass masacare or tragedy; there is relative of no concern. 3. On the safe side, if your building is e.g. red brickwalls, this is considered most yang and is one of the `safeguards'. Alternatively, consideration is for painting the exterior of the main door (if it is facing that direction) red. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Yeow Leong, 1. Usually, 6 rod metal (or alumnium hollow rod) windchime can be used as a `cure' against Flying Star sectors which have imbalances such as numeral #5 or a combination of it. Or other sector imbalances 2. Thus, I would assume that your FS practitioner had identified that location or the two sectors i.e. North and North-West as requiring constant metal cure. 3. Where the metal windchime (6 rod) represents "Big metal" is used to constanly hammer on a bad sector. 4. From my opinion, if your house is built under Period 7 i.e. between 1984 to-date; usually (from my own analysis); two areas that can use windchime is East and South. 5. For me, so far, if the h…

Thanks for the prompt response... I do not have a TV set placed in the bedroom, rather the reflection falls on a mirror. I was wondering if this does make a difference..and the remedy for this. Thanks :o)

Dear Anon, In my opinion, this is considered a minor renovation and from my personal experience; I feel that (or strongly feel) that there is no change in the period of the house. Especially more so, if the house was built under Period 7 i.e. 1984 to 2003. And during this period, if a house was built anytime after 1984, it does not matter if renovation has been carried out many times from 1984 to 2002. The house will always remain a Period 7 house. Warmest Regards Cecil

Dear Benjamin, 1. I believe Feng Shui can use Feng Shui to help diagnose your problem. 2. Relatively simple situations like you had mentioned especially a staircase at the opposite flat may pose a threat to your home. 3. I hope you can understand that it is very (very) difficult for me to visualize what you are facing, here especially information like the distance the angle of the staircase etc... If you have a sketch and roughly indicate the distance of the rubbish chute and the staircase; and any other apartments close-by, I would be more than happy to take a look at it. You can either fax to me at: 065 - 64820570, or scan it, or take a picture or use any paint software…

Ahhh yes, the common sensse approach, and in this case it definately looks like the best approach for this type of corner house indeed. The 2 bagua's pales in comparison to the Meyer house which looks like a Feng Shui Fortress. Thank you for showing me the extent that one can go into protecting one's house. This seems to be very basic common sense but then again, Feng Shui has a lot to do with common sense and I'll have to keep this in mind along with Shape/Forms, Flying Star and 8 House Theory. I've started to become much more aware of houses in the neighborhood that practice Feng Shui, using baguas/keiloons etc which is why I had to ask the question "What are they t…

Dear Anon, Under the Eight House or East/West 4 persons concept, priority should (where ever possible) be given to sleeping in a good sector. And only after this, then it is nice to have one sleeping in a good direction. Since, most of us have already moved in or impossible to change rooms etc.. there is not much more than what one can do or `squeeze' out this concept. To improve one's luck further, it is best to use other concepts - instead. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Diana, 1. If one is frequently ill or stressed, Flying Star Feng Shui can help to diagnose the `birth chart' of the house. And if there are imbalances in one or many sectors, this can be neutralised. 2. However, we are looking more on the `technical' side. And equally important is the Shapes and Form of the house. 3. Here, Shapes and Form is important because, it can be used to look at a house from a macro level and later on a micro level. 4. One should first apply Shapes and Forms first. And if necessary use other tools such as Flying Star to look at within the home. 5. The rationale for this is quite simple:- One classic example was written by Dr Evelyn Lip in on…
