Dear Anon, 1. If the apartment is high; i.e. if one looks out of the window and cannot see the pole; then it is not a threat. 2. Often, an apartment that is higher than 4th storey, would not have a lone lamp post slicing into it. 3. In several studies, there were no reported evidence that power lines cause `Sha qi'. - Magnetism from powerlines is unlike radiation e.g from the sun or micro-wave etc... 4. For the barren field, it is ok if it is not an entire `long stretch' e.g. streching from several miles. If the field is e.g. a small area such as one or two foot-ball field and after this, there are building complex; it is usually ok. Warmest Regards, Cecil Warmest Regar…

Dear Chee Kiong, Generally, the best way to determine your true birth element is to use Ba Zi day of birth element. 1. There are two ways to determine a ba zi element, the most basic way is to take the year of birth element. So most will take the fact that your Chinese Year is 1959 (Earth Pig), so your element may be considered as Earth element. 2. However, the problem is that even in the entire year ot 1959, there is still different element that a person may be born in depending on the day of birth. So the more accurate way is to consider the day of birth. This is because one can be a Strong water , weak wood born in an Earth Pig year. So the day of birth is more acc…

Dear Timothy, Since this is a rented place, one option is to "cover" it up e.g. some type of a poster/paper-sheet where it can easily be removed once you moved-out of the home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Cindy, CindyLu Who wrote: Hello, I have moved into a new home, it's Period 7 house (S2) and have brought many plants with me. My living room areas are the S & SW, kitchen is N & NW. I can't seem to place them in an appropriate place as I do not want to destroy the 8WS & 8 MS yet wouldn't wood neutralize the 2 star? Generally, plants are always good in terms of feng shui. Most of the time most plants if any should be placed in the garden or balcony area. This is practical for it makes it easy to maintain and well as create a very nice garden environment for the balcony area which is extremely pleasing to look when you look from the living room area. Som…

Dear Michelle, 1. In many of the past forum messages, it is best to "slow down", perhaps take some deep breath before committing to what you had written, below. 2. The key success to anything we do is to understand the purpose of each concept and it's strengths and weakness. 3. Called simply "the three-step-approach": 3.1 What is the purpose of the concept / theory or idea? 3.2 Whatare it's strengths? 3.3 What are it's weakness? 4. For example, what you had mentioned is the Eight House Theory or 4 Good/4 Bad directions. 5. The purpose of this theory is to see whether a home fits the breadwinner or not. I re-emphaise again -- "whether a home fits the breadwinner". …

Dear Shelly, In my opinion, Feng Shui does not have all the answers to your situation. Perhaps, it is more a coincidence right now. (Under the Eight House Theory, it refers to the time spent at (that) specific location.) At this time, focus more on how best you can get through this situation and if need be, see if you can find support from your family members (especially your own parents / or next of kin). Or if there is a (possiblilty remote or otherwise) to recover from the situation. In my opinion, this is not the best time to find support from a Feng Shui perspective (thou) it may sound tempting... Try to find a listening ear.. for your problems / or to seek advise …

Dear Cheli, Thank you for bring up this interesting question. Many of us may become quite confused with `differing' concepts or theories. Usually, a concept or problem need to be redressed (without first taking into consideration - personal self). Let me take a parallel:- In Flying Star Feng Shui, if a location has bad #5 (misfortune) and further more the year chart also has this #5 - we need to really redress this problem (no matter if the sector in question is considered "unfavourable" to the individual). Here, there is a real need to neutralise the problem at this sector. If the requirement is to use a metal windchime, then, we need to use it. Using a wooden windchime …

Dear Peter, Can you let me know the Flying Star direction. As some directions can truly consider changing period, while others are not favourable or have to check out whether it can be effective e.g. where is the living room vs the star numbers, centrepoint etc... Alternatively, if you know how to analyse, whether Period 8 is better - then this is the way to go about it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jen, If you have a sketch, please upload to this forum so that I can guide u on how to determine the centrepoint. Usualy the garage should not be taken into consideration. But I can understand that it may be quite difficult for you to `cut-it' off. Do draw a sketch.

Dear Sybil, More importantly is the main entrance door. This door should (MUST) open inwards. On the practical side, there is frankly no issue with front gate opening out. This is often because of the constraint of limited interior space to open inwards: as it `hit' a parked car. Here, also many auto-gate opening devices are fitted to swing outwards - as this is most practical solution as mentioned above. We can say: It is nice to have it open inwards - provided it is practical. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, You can make use of the Free tools provided at http://www.geomancy-online.com Use the Eight House and eight house related tools to help. More importantly, when u use this theory, please follow the steps here:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm In your search of a new home using this theory, try to: 1. Find how suitable the house is to the breadwinner. The most unsuitable houses for the breadwinner is the `death' or `disaster' sector. 2. Next, do a Eight House chart for all family members and visualise i.e. look out what intangible forces are there for each family members and where they can stay. For example, for the husband and wife, check to see how the ho…

Hi Master Do you have any review on the Fengshui at Sant Ritz at Potong Pasir? Could you shed some light on this property? What is your advise if a husband belong to East Group and Wife belongs to West Group? What kind of property should they be looking for? Appreciate your advise Thank you

Dear Guek Rian, 1. In my opinion, don't shift your heavy projection TV as yet. 2. Basically, each floor has a certain kilo newton weight load bearing. 3. More importantly, the concept of clear space is directed at the main entrance area. Distinct from what is placed above this structure. With sufficient engineering load bearing for the upper floors, since the location where you placed the projector is not the main entrance area; there is relatively no issue here. Therefore, do not apply the mountain star too rigidly or literally speaking. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Rosita, In my opinion, usually, there are more to it than just by coincidence that the bathroom is located at your romance sector. Do try to check for any `leaks' in your home. Applying first, Shapes and Forms and doing an Eight House chart to see what are the intangible forces. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Judy, 1. The clue here is to look at the human make-up: "We have our head and feet." 2. One simple example is, when most of us sleep we sleep in a `near' horizontal position. Here, all humans have a head. And our actual head should face the best direction. 3. Our feet should point to the opposite direction. 4. Ambulance Evacuation and the taboo: To give another example: Even for Chinese; who are very sick; recently, I encountered an experienced ambulance attendant who has advised family members of the sick that whenever; an emergency evacuation is made; "head, first". 5. When lying down, often, we want our head to be the `first' to be closer to the auspicioius direct…

Dear David, The idea behind the 7th month is that when we TAKE POSESSION of a home, some fear that during the seven months, spirits may wonder into our new home. Just last year, I believe, there was an article in the Straits Times, Singapore that says that some developers were even launching new developments during the seven month. It would be rather silly to say that when we sign an option to purchase a home, the ghost would follow us to sign the agreement? Does this make sense or it is a silly notion? Why are we so afraid of doings things in the 7th month? If the whole world is afraid of the 7th month then: 1. No one wants to travel e.g. fly. 2. No one wants to "…

Dear Madi, In my opinion, this is a Shapes and Form weakness. Equally important, is that the property should not be `entrapped' i.e. surrounded by taller buildings on all sides and particularly where they are at higher ground. It is a site feature and very little one can do here. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kim, Traditionally, even if the Front door is never used, for Feng Shui audit purposes, both this door and your `other front door' should be analysed. Especially if one is applying Flying Star Feng Shui. The purpose of this is to compare the two charts to see which is more favourable to the owner. And at the same time, the charts can be used to look at which is more accurate. Usually, by definition; the main door is one where the house number is placed onto it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Eugene, To clarify, when you mentioned "south of the building" does it mean that the frontage is at the north. And that the huge lake is at the back of the building. If so, what is the distance from the lake. Would you be possible to draw a sketch of your building, in relation to the outline of the lake and high-way (with a top-down prespective) which can relatively indicate the distance and outline e.g. the highway is moving towards your building or parallel or curing inwards etc... Frankly, it is very difficult to comment on the current information. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Danny, Have u taken into consideration both partners (husband and wife) if you have two parties in the masterbedroom. Without any major renovation, it is best to look at the bedroom - with first priority on the Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. As the owner of the home, it is still best to occupy the master bedroom instead of using the study as the master bedroom - (first priority, here). Under the Eight House Theory, there is not much one can do, since it is a fixed idea or concept. Actually, the "bad influence" or rather it can belooked at by applying Flying Star Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Ai Ling, In my opinion, there should not be an issue, other than it may look unsightly. Warmest Regards, Cecil Ai Ling

Ingredients: Mother, son & his dog. When we mix these three ingredients = Son demands for a pet dog. Loving mother buys the pet dog for him. A few days later, son lost interest in the dog. And wants a bicyle. Mother permanently becomes the servant to the dog: feed, bathe and clean up after the dog. Mother = SERVANT = SLAVE!
