General Help

Dear Mei Lee, Generally, it has more to do with "commonsense approach" to Feng Shui. This is because, if the site / slope is "well maintained" it is fine. But in some cases, such as poor piling done and due to heavy (or very heavy rainfall), and if the slope is not protected, we often see pictures on houses on the "hill" breaking up or the slope causing a landslide - coming down to the lower home. Frankly, this is quite rare. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Bigger picture where qi is suppose to come-into the home: Then under Flyng Star Feng Shui, one should determine where is the most "yang" qi that enters into the home. 1.1 Here, it may either be the main door i.e. standing inside the main door taking a reading out or usually it is the row of windows often with the most rooms where often again, the living room windows are. 2. For the interior layout plan, one should if possible look at some of these considerations: 2.1. Try to avoid kitchen especially the stove at North-West compass direction. Here, it is the centrepoint of the home, taking a reading towards NW direction. 2.2. Eight Mansions / Eight House to find hom…

Thinking of placing our Ancestor Altar at either one of this location.. Was wondering is it OK?

Hi, Is it ok to rewrite the ancestor tablet, as the words are fading. Any taboo to note and what are the procedure, who can authorise to write . Thanks.

Dear Roasline, Here are some guidelines to the placement of an ancestor's tablet:- 1. Avoid placing it immediately facing the front entrance (main door). Here, the implication is that it is disrespectful to let an ancestor become the guardian of the house. 2. Avoid placing it facing a toilet or on the same wall as the toilet. 3. If possible, avoid placing it in the kitchen. 4. Try to find some place in the living room area. Preferably facing outwards i.e. facing an open window (if you can). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi. Is there any ideal measurement (height, width, base) for ancestral tablets? We are customising one for mum. And looking at 6 inches width for words with a one inch border on each side and a 11.5 inch height and and a 4 inch base.

Dear David, Generally, that info is correct. Cow which is more or less related to Ox is Earth, while Rat is Water. Quote: I was told tat Cow represent the element Earth and Rat represent the element Water, is this true ? Where could I get all the representation of all animals chart ?Whatabout Rabbit and Dog ?

Dear Charlles, Charlles Vang wrote: Animal come into the House. What is tha meaning? Good or bad? Charlles Vang wrote: For exaple if your in law has an turtle coming into their front door? This is generally a good sign. For example, if you have a garden and animals or creatures that likes to live in your garden are all good signs that your place can sustain life. Meaning that there is good Qi (life) for your home. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Leslie, 1. First try to check whether you had buried your deceased dog at 150 degrees sector i.e. from the centrepoint of the house to that sector be it inside or outside the house. 2. This is govern by the Tai-su or the Grand Duke's concept (or also known as Grand Duke of Jupiter)that the Grand Duke does not like to be disturbed or this may bring bad luck or misfortune. 3. Thus to-date this is the Lunar Year of the Snake and you must not disturb the earth at South-South-East or exactly 150 degrees be it inside or outside the house. 4. Avoid digging the earth along the 150 degrees i.e. if you stand at the centrepoint of the house, you should try to avoid digging eart…

Hello. We recently had a dog that is not ours pass away on our property, outside in the back yard. We had no emotional attached to this animal, but it did belong to a relative. Literally just dropped dead. The animal was immediately removed, within 20 minutes or so, and taken to a veterinary clinic. I have been told this is bad feng shui and can bring bad luck. Is this true? If so, then is there anything that can be done to remedy our problem? Does the same go if any animal dies on the property? Does emotional attachment matter? If this is not feng shui-related, can you please point me in the right direction, if possible? I am not very familiar with fen…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Doeskeeping a picture or statueof a leopard or other wild cat carry the same significance as keeping a tiger picture or statue? When it comes to pictures, it is more the symbolic representation that matters. For example, picture of fishes/horses/flowers etc or non violent pictures tends to be more welcome thantiger/dragons which is often considered fierce. Ideally, you want a home to be welcoming and therefore keeping pictures of more harmonious pictures are often better. Pictures such as tiger/leopard can still be displayed but should be avoided. Or if you do wish toplace such sha qi, it should be used to counter some some poison arrow. Ult…

1. For simple no frills; method of finding out compatibility:- http://www.lovesigns.net/horoscope/acompare/acompare.htm The above is based purely on the Chinese Zodiac signs. This isa very general method as it analyses only the YEAR of one's birth. And it is compared to both parties (or even partner's) YEAR of birth. This type of compatibility is like two countries going to war:- For example: It is like one country flying propellar plans that can only fly up to 400 mph and the other more advanced country flying any jet plane. A jet plane can easily reach Mach 1 or Mach 2 (twice the speed of a bullet). 2. Using Ba Zi analysis 2.1. Minimium data required : Year, Month…

Hi Anon, What you need to remember here is that we follow Animal signs based on the Chinese Horoscope. This means we based the animal signs on the Chinese Lunar Calanedar. 23 Jan 1974 to 10 Feb 1975 - Tiger 11 Feb 1975 to 30 Jan 1976 - Rabbit This means that if you are born before 10 Feb 1975 you are a Tiger, if you are born after 11 Feb 1975 you are then officially a Rabbit. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Frank, This should be seen under the Holy Trinity of Feng Shui: 1. Heaven luck (it is said that what we are blessed with) 2. Earth luck (luck or no luck at all from our home) 3. Human / Man luck factors Rearing animals is considered as cat 3 i.e. man or human luck factors. Frankly, there is relatively no problems rearing animals as pets. Since, this past-time is as far back as 3 or 4 centuries ago. Since pets often bring us comfort or even solice. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Judy, One good example is the double happiness chinese character which symbolises a `pair'. It is considered good for objects to be in pairs (a couple) in the bedroom. The belief is that it is not auspicious to have ferocious objects in the bedroom such as the tiger, lion and very yang objects such as the dragon. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Huey Ling, Yes, this is classified as "human sha qi" especially if we continue to consider it annoying. However, hopefully, you should get used to it. Perhaps you are a light sleeper. Some of us sleep like a "pig". Is there any way of changing room or alternatively a cheaper method is get a pair of swimming ear plugs. Hopefully, this can help a little. Alternatively, some of us play soothing music prior to sleep or drink a glass of warm milk. Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. Apologies, I am afraid, these are not Feng Shui cures. Perhaps, some are grandmother cures.
