General Help

Dear Marjorie, 1. For those who are family with fixed template models with characteristis such as Fame / Travel etc... 2. Authentic Traditional Feng Shui sites like this does not use such `Ba gua models'. 3. For those who are new, can check out some of the older links:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm 4. This link helps you when you are using an ordinary compass:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-cecilcompass.htm 5. Overall, it is very difficult to comment on just a few general sentences. But, in general, a water position directly behind the house usually services as a `handicap' or a single leak. 6. If there are more `leaks' in the home, then, it usually p…

Dear Jon, 3. Singapore is so small. And generally, geographically although it may seem that there is a North / South / NE, Central / West region, but ultimately, Singapore is considered as "south" e.g. south of the Malayan peninsula. 4. If we go by the Eight House theory, and if we separate people into two groups: East and West, sometimes we get "weird" questions like, since I belong to the west group, I should live in the west. 5. Perhaps, this could be used as a silly reason for getting a divorce from a wife that is East group while we are a West group. It does not make sense at all. 6. More importantly, we read Shapes and Forms concept like the office should …

1. Ideally, the toilet (if possible) should try not to be at the "center" of the home. Especially if it is the toilet bowl. However, the good news, is that frankly in Singapore, nearly 50 percent of all apartments does have the toilet "close to or in the centre" of the home. This is considered as a "leak". Majority of the time, a regular Feng Shui audit, can help to boost other areas and/or reduce the effect. 2. Main door to many Feng Shui practitioners is like the "mouth" of the home. Thus it is considered a crucial part. Imagine, a person opening his mouth and a "knife" or "fork" or "scissors" poking into it. There are two concepts, here:- 2.1 Commonsense approach If…

Dear Hoa Luong, Overall, it is better to select 165 degrees with a range of 157.5 - 172.4 degrees. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Marcia, Try to do a SEARCH using the Search feature under this forum. You can find the various alternatives to neutralise a beam. For example, I just did a SEARCH in this forum and the first two searchs show this two links:- 1 Photo Tours of Interest (with Pictures) Another alternative: bamboo flute 9/3/2002 2 Photo Tours of Interest (with Pictures) Another alternative: bamboo flute 9/3/2002 If your beam is made of concrete, the above can show you how to neutralise it.

Dear Regina, Yes, lighting is a better alternative especially if one is in the room - turn it on. But, if no one is in the room, I strongly feel that it is not necessary to leave it on 24 hours. If no one is in the room try not to draw the night curtain, but let natural light filter into the room, will do. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Michele, In Feng Shui, it is not favoured to have too many pipes running below the house for two main reasons:- 1. Having too much water or `water running' especially at the floor area is not ideal. As water is considered `difficulty'. 2. This point has to do more with commonsense approach:- `Wear and Tear' - since pipes often expand and contract, there are often known cases of some of these pipes that perhaps due to poor quality control or wear and tear. I heard of some homes (not sure if they are true) that often have leaks. In fact, in the past, one or two of the members had mentioned this. Para 1, has more to do with 2. If the pipes do not leak or water condense …

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, this concept is somewhat "outdated" or may be very difficult to apply i.e. to a lay person. In particular the dragon and tiger concepts. 2. For the back (tortise/ or you mentioned turtle ) i.e. solid backing and clear space (phoenix) is still relatively easy to understand and apply for most of us. 3. This is because especially for those who live in urban areas, roads, waterways or even buildings can represent the dragon and tiger. 4. What I find that is more important than Para 3 at this moment is this question: Does the site able to collect wealth? If a site can collect wealth, then this is the opportunity i.e. Quantum Leap in Feng Shui. In a…

Dear Analia, Yes, that is absolutely correct Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Susan, In my opinion, based on what you have mentioned, it would be best in the long term to try to change home. The rationale is because, there are as you have mentioned, quite alot of problems relating to Shapes and Form and some compass school issues. For the short-term, since you are aware of some of the FS problems, you can try to see if can reduce or neutralise some of the effects. For example, you mentioned water behind the house. If the water is within your home and not a swimming pool; is it possible to drain the water. Or if the water is external to your home, are there sufficient plants to shield the house from it. For poison arrows or pointed objects in t…

Dear Wasis, Thank you for your information. Based on what you had supplied, your home belongs to a Period 7 house. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Amy, No, removing the trees (external) does not change the Flying star qi. However, this year, the Grand Duke of Jupiter is at compass degree SSW. And removing the tree(s) at SW may not be a responsible thing to do. Given that one should not distrub the Grand Duke at his present location. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Tim, In my opinion, Shapes and Form as mentioned by you below cannot cure "unwanted" stars. Since this concept is static and does not take into account time dimensions as the Flying Star Feng Shui. The only correlation is that often, under some Flying star models, it is preferred that the layout or rooms are squarish in shape. Here, it is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Frankly, Feng Shui is by no means a mircle care to all problems. Your problem if any is what we would classify as a Human Luck factor. Particularly, if you lost your job to due to your attitude. Then probably the best thing you can do is to correct or improve your attitude. I don't think no amount of feng shui can help you here. It is always important to find the root cause to any problem. If you know what is the root cause, then work to correct it. Otherwise, even if you find another job, you might stilllose it the same way you lost the other. You see even if a person's luck isn't good in a period, but if he/she has good overall human luck (ie very hardw…

Dear Christine, You can use the free Eight Housereport(s) at http://www.geomancy-online.com or alternatively, use the "manual" hyper-links to check your date of birth and then click on the correct Eight House chart under this resource: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear David, Basically, you cannot just choose which period is better and take that analysis. The period is there for a purpose. You need to specify which period the house was built. And that will give you the analysis for the house number. What you need to remember here is that a house number is supposed to help you to see which unit is better. This is especially for units of the same layout plan but located on different levels. It does nothing more than this. The results of the analysis isn't very important as it is there only to show how good or bad the analysis is. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, For motor homes, usually, we can only take advantage of its location viz-a-viz the area it is in. It should not be parked in locations where, it is in direct `force' of wind e.g. barren land where, wind blows directly towards it. It is really difficult to apply many of the concepts of Feng Shui to the motor home. In my opinion, more can be gotten from Pillars of Destiny or improvement to personal self here. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Rosen, 1. Do you have a sketch (even a simple outline) will do of your plot of land in relation to the highway and the `enclave' of e.g. teh business district. 2. Describe, what is at the frontage, back and both sides of your plot of land:- 2.1. In general what is the road that leads into your building. 2.2. What are the height of the neighbouring buildings. 2.3 Is this an industrial (manufacturing) or business (commercial area) and are the neighbours (manufacturing or commercial). 3. Usually if your plot of land is `enclosed' within a district meant for business; it does not imply the same as what I mentioned earlier i.e. the residential area. Apologise for asking s…
