Dear Stan, Under Flying Star Feng Shui; each number represents an element. This is where #7 represents `small metal'. While #1 represents water element. And #6 represents `big metal' Often a "fail-safe" system is where should one of the 7 gold fish dies, often, one is still left with 6 gold fishes with 1 black fish. Under the Productive sequence of the Five elements concept: Metal supports Water element. Thus, this is why, 7 gold fishes with 1 black is often mentioned - for fish tank. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Overall, the home should be kept `bright' as opposed to dark (or darkness). Most of the time, "advise" provided would focus more on `interior' decoration and how each person (can be the individual or the FS practitioner) percieve about how sectors of the house can be `decorated'. Keep the basics correct such as good shapes and form, first. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Marie, Frankly these are text-book examples of Feng Shui. Symbolically, 3-coins represent: 1. The number 3: represents the wood element. 2. The metal coins: literally mean metal element. Under the destructive cycle of the Five element concept: Metal destroys wood element to create `wealth'. Go around Feng Shui emporiums espeically internet Feng Shui stores and one will find lots of excuse to try to sell as many of these as possible. One may thus end up: Placing this three-coins under the floor mat, inside the ledger book, inside the cash register, inside one's wallet. Perhaps, the Feng Shui emporiums are laughing to the bank! One question asked: Since carrying the 3-…

Dear Anon, Please see below:- It would be ideal if bougainvillaes are not planted especially if it has lots of thorns sticking out. For me, I do have a pot of bougainvilla but, I specially chosen one with genetically smaller thorns. So far, there is no, concrete evidence to say whether plants with thorns are bad. All we ever hear is that this are bad. But, as I had mentioned, there is no concrete evidence to say for sure whether it is auspicious or inauspicious. But from my opinion, for bougainvilla plants, there should not be a major issue since: 1. it is even worse if this plant or tree has a solid trunk (that slices into the window area or planter box). 2. Bougainv…

Dear Veronica, 1. In my opinion, no. This is not Feng Shui. Neither is it Ba Zi (Eight Characters/Pillars of Destiny). 2. This is because, what you had mentioned, cannot be related to The Five Elements Concept and Yin and Yang. 3. Most probably, (in my opinion) the practitioner may have his/her toes laughing when he/she gave this advise. 4. Many of us genuinely approach a FS practitioner for advise and I must say; really what was mentioned goes against any commonsense approach especially what makes it special about say a Toyota vs a Nissan? 5. Numerology methods can be very (very) diverse. It may have to do with phonetic sounding words e.g. 8 or `Fatt' (luck) in Cantones…

Hi Carmen, Generally for landed property, then it is usally the facing of the house itself most of the time where your drive into the home. This is usually considered the frontage of the house. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Eva, The least confusing way to go about it is to locate the centrepoint of your house. If you need to you can scan or even fax to us at: 065-64822057 so that we can find out the centrepoint for you. From the centrepoint, you can use an ordinary compass to locate where all your room locations are. For example, if the compass North points to your bedroom, then your bedroom is at North. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Joan, As we are still very busy during these Dec / Jan. We will try to get such an analyse done to compliment our existing Year 2003 Forecast. Check out our Website or Announcement Conference for a link once it is ready. We will try to get it ready before 1 Feb 2003 (where the Chinese New Year actually stars). Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Cindy, 1. Most of us would love to hear that each of us have a specific "wealth area" in our home. 2. Sometimes, this can work `against us' for the benefit of those who sell products. 3. In true traditional Feng Shui, `wealth' can be looked at as follows:- 3.1 In our ba zi, e.g. terms like "auspicious wealth" luck period often means either having children or if it is found in our later luck periods e.g. 50's or 60's then it is most likely; grand children. 3.2 This is because in the past, China was an agricultural society. And it is said that the more "hands" the better to help toil the soil or plant the seeds plus harvest. 3.3 Today, our wealth under ba zi is still o…

Dear Anh, Please see below:-

Dear Thanh, 1. Based on the Compass School method of Feng Shui, it is best to avoid (especially the toilet bowl - sewerage pipes) located exactly at `defined positions'. 2. Under Eight House theory: it is best not to have the toilet bowl at true compass directions i.e. North 0 degrees, NE 45 degrees, East 90 degrees, SE 135 degrees etc.. 3. The rationale here is that should one of these sectors is a good sector, this may not be auspicious. 4. If we go `deeper' using the Flying Star analysis; then; it is best to avoid having it at 15 degree intervals e.g. 0 degrees, 15 degrees, 30 degrees, 45 degrees etc... 5. I personally feel that using a small round mirror (may not be e…

Dear Anon, The clue here is to understand what is: Heaven Luck Earth Luck and most importantly what is Human (Man) Luck In general: 1. In the old, Feng Shui was used to look at locations for a city, town etc... 2. The most used word in the English dictionary are words like: I , me, my etc... 3. Here, we can draw a parallel to many of us. How do we improve our homes. 4. More importantly, the key success of any home is: Location, location and location. 5. Therefore: MACRO Feng Shui is the MOST important factor. 6. Commercial products 6.1 Often, what "corrupts" a Feng Shui practitioner, book author of Feng Shui etc... are commercial products. 6.2 In my opinion, usually, if o…

Dear Anon, Yes, in my opinion, often, a higher weightage goes to the owners who are staying in the home. For the occupants, it has more to do with their own bedroom, but as one knows, this is only one room as compared to an entire home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. A `caution' on Eight Aspirations or also known as Eight/Life Assocations is too general a concept to be used. Here, for example as you had mentioned North = Career `sector'. Although it sounds so easy; this is too general. It is not practical to say that for everyone or the entire world; everyone's Career sector is at the North. Similarly; it is also difficult to accept that South West is the romance sector for all of us. What happens if each of us `outdo' one another to `decorate' this sector? 2. The Eight House although is a `static' concept; it takes into account at least one's Year of birth. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Ideally, this is not good. But, I know of many new developments or a few developments that are already 4 to 5 years old with a toilet above the entrance e.g. Corporation Drive townhomes. But, fortunately, better Feng Shui was practised to redress any other leaks. In my opinion, a toilet above is not the best. But, it can be considered as one major leak. Therefore, if possible a home should not have more than 3 or more of such leaks else it may give riseto problems. Usually, also, it is best that the home "fits" the ba zi of the breadwinners. If so, thesewould lead to fewer leaks. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Cindy, Frankly, I hope u don't mind me saying; but it would be better for you to get expert help instead of grasping with so many "puzzles." Often, the major consideration is to check the layout plan of the home to see if it is better (or not) to fly to the new period. For example, for a Period 7 SW 2 apartment, the current prosperity water star is located at South compass direction while the mountain star is located at West. While under Period 8, the water wealth location flies to the NE sector. And the mountain star remains at SW sector.Does this match your layout plan i.e. is your living room at NE? or as a result of flying to P8,the water star 8 could be dro…

Dear Anon, 1. It is always good to ask the following questions:- 1.1. What is the purpose of Feng Shui? 1.2. What are it's strengths? 1.3. What are it's weakness? 2. Please note that Feng Shui is only about the influence of Earth on our Luck (Earth Luck). 3. It is not a cure all for everything. 4. Heaven Luck 5. Perhaps, you can partially use Ba Zi (Pillars of Destiny or popularly known as Eight Characters) to look at our Heaven's map. And from learning it, help us look at our given luck situation. For example, look at the Luck Pillars (this comes under 10 years, 5 years and yearly and also monthly or daily.) 6. But monthly and daily is in my opinion too much a hassle. …
