General Help

Dear Chee Siong, 1. In my opinion, it is best in your case to get a Feng Shui audit done to check thoroughly on the house. 2. Flying Star Feng Shui is a powerful tool that can help locate sectors that may be too yin. 3. The Chinese Luopan is a good detector. 4. Under Shapes and Form Feng Shui, sectors of concern are usually NE and SW. In particular especially if the main entrance is either at the NE or SW sectors. Certain missing sectors need to be further looked at. 5. After visiting a location and falling sick is a coincidence that this needs to be looked at closely/investigated. 6. Normally, if there are any activities (if any) human activity would create a Yang force …

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 Rich, For apartment above high floor, it is common that you should take the frontage of your home based on where most light comes into the house. This is often the living room balcony. So stand at your balcony and measure the compass direction and whatever that results. That is where your house frontage will be. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

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

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 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 Michele, The key success factor here are: 1. Feng Shui or Earth Luck It is best to harmonize the bedroom to suit one's Ba Zi. For a married couple then go for the `binding' element (Do a SEARCH in this forum for the term: binding ) 2. What is Metal element: Metal element is white or gold. On a personal level, this can be the clothing or object e.g. some gold items e.g. jewellery or a chain. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Most likely, if a Flying Star chart is used in your home, it will often be `littered' with #3 and #4 (all these bad wood is associated with disputes and relationship issues). And many times, one may also see #1 water fueling #3 or #4. These can easily be cured. If you are new, please find out more about Flying Star Feng Shui. Or seek help from any competent Feng Shui practitioner. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi Anon, If you have some rock garden landscaping, you can still benefit from activating the mountain star. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

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…

Hi Anon, Anonymous wrote: I am absolutely new to Feng Shui. In an effort to find out why my house "doesn't feel right", before I paint this place for the sixth time in seven years, I have started to study, and study, and study. This web site has been very helpful in getting me started in what I believe to be the right direction. One thing that you know in Feng Shui, that you must feel comfortable in the place you live in. There shouldn't be a need to keep re-painting the home just because you think it is unsuitable. Colours are just one aspect of feng shui sometimes you should check if there are other flaws, ie sharp corners cutting your usual work or sleep area for exa…

Dear Weiqi, Shapes and Forms Feng Shui:- Yes, if possible, it is best to avoid having a water position at the centrepoint of the home - as this may affect one's finance. (Shapes and Forms consideration. Flying Star Feng Shui:- This is especially so for Period 8 homes or homes born, or had a major renovation done on or after 2004. Under Flying star Feng Shui, the base star at the centre-of-the-home is #8. And since this is an auspicious mountain star "earth" element: a water position, here will inevitably drown the auspicious #8 for the period. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Benjamin, 1. To side track (a-bit); I suddenly realised that the forum message under Free Advice (General Topics) is now close to the 5,000 messages mark. 2. I `suddenly' thought of this because, I could still vaguely remember one reply or several replies within the 2,000 message mark on this issue. I cannot blame anyone for not reading the previous message on this. So here goes.... 3. Lilian Too is not wrong in this aspect. This is because, in the `Traditional Eight House Theory'; the backdoor is considered of prime importance because this will determine the type of house e.g. a North house; South house etc.... 4. Here again, I like to emphaise that when one reads …

Dear Soon Hoe, 1. Yes, one MUST not rely on this report: Eight Aspirations/Life Associations. 2. When one generate the report, we have stated clearly in the report that it is simply too general to be of use to anyone. 3. Unfortunately, there are many (tons of books) written to capitalise on this general concept. 4. In many of the past messages found under this forum, I have cautioned about "sector feng shui" or paying homage to a sector. 5. The rationale is because, this concept simply states that e.g. SW = romance sector. North = career. And this is not personalised to anyone. 6. It is like telling everyone that our romance sector is at South-West. Imagine: how can this …

Dear Mandy, Please refer to this resource on how to determine the centrepoint, etc... http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-house1.htm There are many (many) Schools of Feng Shui. And your geomancy master is not wrong. In the past, ancient times, getting the main door is simple since, many of the homes / with court-yard are rectangular in shape and where the main gate facing is, the main door facing is often in the same direction. In ancient times, there is no such thing as so elaborate a building with honeycombs of various `facing' homes. Given this senario, standing at the centrepoint to the main door utilises the concept of "centre-of-gravity" and the flux a…

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 Anon, 1. It is common (even locally in Singapore) for some Feng Shui practitioners to coin the idea of the wealth corner. 2. In fact, this is what the consumer wants. And some or many of such Feng Shui practitioners would be most happy to impart the idea. And if it makes the consumer happy, then to this practitioners it is fine to them. 3. In fact, on many many occasions even when I do local Feng Shui audits, 8 out of 10 clients would after the audit ask me where is their wealth corner? 4. As mentioned locally, many Feng Shui practitioners would (some based on their own concepts and ideas would `convince' the owner) that their wealth sector is at `X' marks the spot. …

Dear Hoa Luong, Wishing You, your family and everyone in the forum: HEALTH, WEALTH AND HAPPINESS, ALWAYS! 1. Yes, I believe there is a reasonable explanation for this. 2. For example, let me illustrate using fruits. 3. Most of us know that both apples and oranges are fruits. 4. Similiarly Chinese Horoscope and Pillars of Destiny are considered as CHINESE DIVINITY methods. Thus both belong to the same family. 5. But, again, as all of us know, even if apples and oranges are fruits, but, they are not exactly the same fruit. Here, an orange is not equal to an apple. 6. The key to understanding this is that "Oranges are oranges but oranges ARE NOT APPLES". 7. Here, when we men…

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 Jennifer, 1. In my opinion, what you had mentioned dwell more on "commonsense approach" than purely on Feng Shui. 2. Usually, the rationale why a bedroom above a garage was considered inauspicious is much like the idea that it is inauspicious to have a bedroom above the kitchen. 3. For the kitchen; it was felt that the incidence or probability of a fire occuring in a kitchen is much higher than, say in other rooms. Thus the concern. 4. It is similar for the garage. Some people feel that if the garage is cluttered and at the same time, there is a `higher' probability of a fire occuring in the garage e.g. a vehicle (may one fine day catch fire?) 5. But look at it reali…

Dear Anon, Yes, Happy Prosperous New Year! Please see below:- Frankly, I have not checked out the combination of double #4, as I am so used to having automated such mundane tasks. However, under Period 8, #4 is considered as a mixed blessing star. When combined properly with other stars under Period 8, some combinations, can become auspicious. While other combinations, remain inauspicious. If the double #4's combined to become auspicious, than one can remove a metal wind chime. Since, such a strong metal element may destroy the auspicousness of the double wood #4's. If assuming the #4's are bad stars, than, there is no harm to have the wind chime. A water position…

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.
