General Help

In Feng Shui, we call the Dragon and Tiger as the "Green Dragon" and "White Tiger". Here for the external Feng Shui, the dragon is on the east or left side, while the tiger is at the west or right side (if we stand inside the door looking outwards). Nowadays in Singapore, few will get a tatoo where the dragon and tiger embrace. If so, often, the tatoos are on the arms and not the legs. This is because to be "harmonious" the dragon and tiger should be in an embrace. Unless if the tatoo is on the legs, it is felt that where we stand, the dragon should also be in embrance with the tiger. In the early 1970's David Carradine played a disciple of Shaolin Martial Arts. And whe…

Dear John, In my opinion, you can consider the (I believe) the beautiful brick facade as a decoration. It need not be `balanced' directly. You can try to make the apartment as cosy as possible to your taste. So far, I come across many homes with such beautiful facade and in my opinion do not pose any problems. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Emily, Frankly, wearing a pendant is not a norm in our culture. But many Toaist purchase a clear crystal bracelet and a set of string for `protection' This has nothing to do with Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. The Eight House or East / West Group is based on the premise of either spending time at a sector and/or also nice-to face a good direction. (Full Stop). 2. One should not drag this concept into other situations as what you are trying to "drag it down to". 3. Thus activating say a SW sector has no association with the above. 4. Anyway, what you are trying to apply is "static" Feng Shui that does not take into account time dimensions. 5. A far more professional approach is to apply time dimension in Feng Shui. 5.1 For example;to draw up a Flying Star chart and in-particular; try to disarm #3. And if possible activate Mountain Star #8 and Water Star #8. 5.2 #3 re…

Dear Diana, For Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, it is best if you can provide a sketch of your layout plan. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please accept my condolences. I believe many of us share your grief and understand what you are going thru. Life has to basically go on in his memory. Hope that you can continue to enrich your life and make him proud. Life is also a yo-yo and there are ups and downs. Certain aspects of Feng Shui can help to reduce deaths due to `accidents/disasters' but if it due to the process of old age, all of us are not immune to it. I am really short for words at this moment but..Do take care of your health! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi Anon, As for the kitchen, the base star is star 6, so the appearance of the star 5 means that an inauspicious star enters into that sector for the year. However, given that there is a Strong Metal influence, this star 5 has less impact on this sector. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Anon, Although the East/West Group of persons concept is applicable here, it is best that the shapes and form of the apartment is acceptable: 1. The house should have few missing corners or odd shape. 2. Find out more of the history of the rental apartment (usually this is not an issue most of the time). Not compulsory thou. 3. Although NW is your accident direction, do check out what is the intangible force in the bedroom. If the intangible force in the bedroom is equally inauspicious e.g. deather, then it is best not to take up the rental. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Chong Song, In my opinion, if it is based on protocol, the male should be on the left and to his right no. 1, 2 and 3. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Roeland, Roeland de Looff wrote: Suppose someone is weak wood and sitting ina sector in which the woodstars 3 or 4 are prominent. Although these stars are no good in a general sense will these stars benefit the weak wood person? Not really. This is because a sector has several influence at work, even though there is a star 3/4 which are wood element. That person might benefit a little from it, but not really a great deal. Given that the flying star sector has 20year/year/month/day stars changing all the time, as such even ifa presence of star 3/4 is there, it isn't enough to be considered a Wood element presence. This isn't as strong as staying in the East dir…

Dear Rae, If not sure, don't `activate' anything. It is not like buying some objects or items at $500.00 and hoping that one can get back a return of $1,500 or more. The only sensible way to `invest' money is through proper finance schemes or through low risk returns such as Fixed Deposits or Savings Account. Many fall into the trap of "Credit Card Feng Shui". Where, one gets cash advance in the `hope' of getting a return. The only return here is a bill with accumulated interests that loan sharks would only goggle their eyes on. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, there is a major flaw in wanting to apply sector/area or corner Feng Shui. 2. For example, how is it that everyone's career area is in a fixed position? For example in the north? 3. This kind of theory cannot hold for everyone and it does not make sense to `pay homage' to this sector. 4. Overall, many a questions were asked as to how can I improve my `career' or `wealth'? Can Feng Shui provide the answer to this? 5. We have to understand that Feng Shui is about bringing in harmony to the house and MAY not be directly related to career or wealth. 6. What does all this mean? If one wants to use Feng Shui one has to remember that with proper use,…

Dear Hoa Luong, Please see below:- For example:- - water in the water fall is = water element - do try to add some plants inside or out of the water feature = wood element - fire element can be in the form of lighting (turned on automatically with a timer at specific time e.g. 7.30pm to say 10pm. (or fishes with red colours also account for the fire element). - metal can be in the form of fishes e.g. koi etc...

Dear Hoa Luong, Please take it down immeidately! This is because of the combination of #6 (big or strong metal) with #8 (water star). This #6 already fuels #8 or metal produces #8. By adding your additional 6 coins, this becomes a vicious cycle of creating more water. Or as you have found out, can lead to `water related' problems. Perhaps, can you describe what elements are already in your room: a. wardrope colour b. wall colour c. often used bed sheet colour d. curtain colour. Currently the 6 coins can be detrimental because effectively, you most likely have a three combination flow where: Metal -> Water -> Wood and when you add 6 metal again, this is another cont…

Dear Mr Low, I hope I got your description correctly. From what I understand, it seems like you have supporting structure which often is thicker than the wall or glass frame. Often this is not an issue. Unless, you are referring to a protuding corner (plastered with concrete). If so, often the sha qi from such a corner is approximately 1 metre distance. Otherwise, if it is just a tiny protrusion i.e. part of the support structure, then there is often no issue here. There is no harm in placing a crystal. No issue. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: From the Bazhi Summary, all the members of my household are suitable to stay in a north facing house. Will it be even better if we alsolive in the northern part of Singapore, such as Woodlands and Yishun? Yes, if you consider the ba zi direction, choosing a North of a country is one way of adding more Water to the person. Ba Zi direction is typically used in Macro analysis rather than micro analysis. Macro analysis is such as countries located in North, or North part of the country, or direction of travel North wards. For such analysis, ba zi element and direction would be better. Micro analysis is more like facing of a home, or sector of b…

Dear Nurit, Frankly, if Traditional Feng Shui is being applied, there are many principles involved in accessing both the home; the `fit' of the home to your parents (breadwinner); the birth chart of the house and even Pillars of Destiny of each family member. Another instance is that a North-East house (main door facing) may need additional attention especially since this is the (NE = devil's gate). For a start, you could try to apply the Eight House Theory using the steps shown under http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm Or use the free Eight House report available under www.geomancy-online.com At the same time, you can try to apply Shapes and Form Feng Shui. In particul…

Dear Anon, It is certainly good indeed that you took the effort to clarify. As most of us know, each situation would differ and that there is usually no `hard and fast' rule. And two way communication is great. Please see below:- Yes, I was referring to sites or land area where the trees are `pretty' close to the buildings or houses. Trees such as 5 to 10 feet away. But in your case, it is quite far away at 20 or more feet. This is OK. Overall, I am an expert on trees or plants. But, I noticed that usually when majority of them grow larger i.e. within 3 to 5 years, (SOME) of these trees can get quite large and planting them within short distances may not be idea…

Dear Anon, Single stretch of load bearing wall which looks like beams is considered `sha qi'. However, do take note that:- 1. If one does not sit under it, there is relatively no issue. For beams, if one sits below it for more than 1 1/2 to 2 hours each day for a year, the `effects' (negative) can be felt. 2. Do take note that multiple beams that are close to each other e.g. 1 feet interval or less and lots of it that looks like stripes do not pose a problem. Only single beams should be considered. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- If you have seen the various examples i.e. not only Meyer but references to other `Receive positions' under this url: http://www.geomancy.net/consultation/consult-home/home-househunting.htm You will notice that the one primary concept of Shapes and Forms is to `Receive'. However, the fundamental thing is that NOT ALL SITES are the same. The above gives a CLUE as to what to look out for in ADDITION to other Shapes and Form Feng Shui. It would be silly if one based on my suggestion to buy this type of house and happen that the house is on top of a badly eroded hill. Or any other unfavourable Shapes and Forms. As mentioned above, "It depen…

Dear Anon, If you are applying the Eight House than, you have to use South West (the door to get into your apartment). I like to clarify that if you are using another theory i.e Flying Star and wanting to place water features or mountain support, it is best to use the frontage of the building. A good example is that under such a situation, if say metal elements are detected at the frontage of the building, it is a good candidate for a water feature. Since you do not `own' the exterior of the building, even when you apply Flying Star Feng Shui, best to use say South West or the interior of your home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

The marketing director, has this signage behind his office desk:-

Frankly, if one has close relationship with one's brother and sister; then; in my opinion there is no "ill" attached to such gifts even it is during the CNY period. In fact, it is also good for the enviroment; ie. active recycling. Often, many parents would be very glad especially to get hand-me downs especially for their growing children from relatives, cousins and even friends. Under this category; some parents appreciate this very much as often their growing child grows fast and cannot wear them anymore. Furthermore, many feel that such clothings are even more comfortable to wear etc... Thus rather than be concerned; some of us wish we have such a brother and sister..…
