Dear Mitesh, Candles has been used in-the-past basically because there were simply no electricity i.e. no harm. The only caution is to stay clear of moving wind or curtains or anything close-by that can be inflammable. As candles give off heat, it is also about circulation of heat and air. Frankly a proper ventilated room can do as well (without) candles. Warmest Regards, Cecil

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

Dear Wasis, In my opinion, it is best not to practise Feng Shui in relation to a direction and its related colour or element. The rationale is because, it is too general without considering the birth chart of a house. Instead, you can perhaps look at the two theories:- 1. Protect, protect, protect. Stand a the main door and look out of the house. Are there any threats? If so, appropriate cure(s) should be used. Without relating to whether, e.g. North = water. As sometimes, two potted plants can be used to neutralise a poison arrow etc... 2. Flying Star Feng Shui Use this instead to look at the sector. As it involves three element relations and the 81-combinations of the …

Dear Marta, Simply e-mail: robert-lee@geomancy.net privately to give your date of birth to find a suitable date, with our compliments i.e. in this case, free. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Don't worry, even in a relatively safe country like Singapore, more homes have bars installed - than not. As this is a deterent, there should not be an issue, here. Within the home, appropriate interior decor e.g. use of curtains or blinds etc... can easily off-set the ugly sight of the bars. The morale of the story? " YOU ARE NOT ALONE WITH THIS ISSUE! ". Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. The only major concern for bars in an apartment is that often, some of these bars in a room should be able to be opened (can also be locked) in case, of a fire. The fireman should be able to cut-open the lock - as a means of escape. A fully fixed bar grille, is often not a good ide…

Dear Spring, Please don't despair. With regards to the house Feng Shui, you mentioned that your bedroom is on the `east side'. Try to stand at the centrepoint of the house and use an ordinary compass to check to see if your bedroom is at the compass direction east. If your house was built or had a major renovation done between 1984 to 2003; most likely if your bedroom is at the `East'; for last year there will defintely be a Yearly #5 (misfortune and sickness) at that sector. This does not include at least a base #5 (misfortune and sickness) star at East. And usually there is another #5 or #2 in this location. If so, for Lunar New Year starting from 1 February 2003, the …

Hi Anon, This isa common situation for most people. However, this isn't the end of the world. 1. What you should be doing is to ensure that the house should suit the breadwinner (your husband). This is because the breadwinner provides for the family, so making sure that the breadwinner fits and suits is most important. 2. So for the bedroom you (the spouse) should then have a higher priority for a suitable bedroom while your husband can have a less suitable bedroom. Also, if possible not to have Death and Disaster if possible. This is how you give and take. Breadwinner takes priority for the main door facing, while the spouse will take better suitability to the bedro…

Dear Anon, In my opinion, there are no perfect `EXCELLENT' house. If one finds that overall the house is comfortable and nice, go ahead and purchase it especially if the external shapes and form is good. If all family members feel nice with the house, chances are; it would be good/acceptable. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dea Anooja, Please see below:- I am very glad that you find the site useful:) Some homes are still considered under Period 6. And if these homes have double 6's, they are considered still auspicious in another period. As long as no further renovation has been done after this period. The number #6 under any other period is considered auspicious. For homes, that are under Period 7, however, unfortunately, the #7 which in Period 7 is auspicious, will change back to it's original state i.e. robbery or theft star. Given this senario, under Period 8, it is better to check: 1. My home is under Period 7. Should I let it remain as Period 7 (same facing direction?) OR 2. Sh…

Dear Anon, To be truly honest, unfortunately, there is no specific "cure" under Feng Shui. Wishing you all the best! Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: My condo has been on the market for 5 months now. So far there has been no offers due to the fact that my condo is next to a train. How can I attract a buyer to want to purchase?

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. …

Dear Yenni, If it is asked at www.geomancy.net's website, we require only your actual birth date and not lunar calendar date. We will convert this information. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jen, In a very recent reply, I mentioned that often, under the time dimension of Feng Shui i.e. the Flying Star Feng Shui; since it is based on time and numerology, a series of numbers are important for that period. Thus, under Period 7,where 7 = current prosperity, 8 = future prosperity and 9 = future, future prosperity. If an enhancement can be activated, when we are living in the period 1984 to 2003, then all these three numbers are very important. Under the present time period or Period 8, thus 8 becomes the current prosperity, 9 the future prosperity and since the NEXT number after 9 is 1 (note: there is no such thing as a TEN or 10). Thus, under time dimen…

Dear Sophia, In my opinion, what you had mentioned has more to do with perception / symbolic gesture of "dignity" accorded to the statues be it alive or "dead". Where possible, often, it is placed in the living room facing the seat/sofa. Thus, it is best to place the figurines on a proper display area e.g. on the shelf or display table etc.. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, When drawing a map or physically at the moment, it is not feasible to move the "qi of the centrepoint" since this is suppose to be the centre-of-gravity. Looks like you have to live with this wall. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. The word "Hai" refers to the term " Water " 2. If it is a dragon, the word behind the sculpture should instead be " LONG " or dragon 3. For the word " SU " Chinese characters or words close to it. So, here, it can mean many things. What is the relationship of the Serpent and Dragon in Chinese beliefs? It is said that in Chinese folk lore, after 500 years of exisitence a SEA SERPENT transform and becomes a SCALY Dragon. Another transformation is after 1000 years when this SCALY Dragon becomes a horned Dragon. Again after another 1000 years, it becomes a Dragon with wings. In my opinion, your figure has this saying: "Encourage one to be diligent" *JOKE* Not su…

Dear Sylvia, Please see below:- Frankly, since your home is a NW3 home, it is better to remain as a NW3 Period 7 home. As it is still able to tap on the auspicious Pearl String effect of such a period 7 home. Although, this is not the best or ideal situation, it is better to face the "devil's advocate" if your home were to "fly" into Period 8. Given that, there will be more problems or less than ideal condition for your home to be under Period 8. The most yang part of a home need not necessarily mean that one must have a main entrance, here. Given, this senario, usually, the location where there are most windows. For trees everywhere, this is not a major issue, …

Dear Xtine, Lava which has been cooled, should in my opinion not be considered any longer as `Fire element'. This is similiar to other materials that had cooled down. For example, ceramics which has been `fired' in a kiln, has cooled down. Ceramics is in my opinion considered as earth element. The lava you spoke off, should be considered (in my opinion) earth element also. However, if it contains a high percentage of metal or metal oxide, then it could be considered as the metal element. Another interesting to note is that even if it is considered as the earth element; in the past Chinese geology, each grain is inspected to find out what is the actual element. Example, i…

Dear Carlos, Please see below:- In my opinion, in your case, it is best to First-fix-the leak! What you had described i.e. your bedroom falling between NE and E with potent inauspicious combinatins of NE = M5 W9 and E = M5 W9 B5 Are very inauspicious combinations. Where 5 is already bad but fueling it with W9 is equally bad. As mentioned in a similar reply to this type of question, today (forum message): Try to: 1. Avoid using particularly YELLOW (earth) and / or FIRE (Red, pink or purple) within this room. 2. If need to use constant metal e.g. outside the bedroom window with a wind chime or other constant metal or even a glass jar filled with salt /six coins - please…
