We have liked a villa which has the main door towards the North East and were wondering if that is good. The villa also has a water feature opposite the main door with water flowing towards the main door. Your assistance would be really appreciated. Thanks and warm regards.

I do hope that you are not practising one of those "fixed template" ba gua sort of thing. Where incredibly one lays a fixed template with things like North = Career etc... onto a layout plan. Please go thru the following resources:- * Eight House or Flying Star * Flying Star Feng Shui * Flying Star Feng Shui as a Diagnostic Tool

1. Some Geomancers consider "water" in the bedroom as:- 1.1. Some defined water as a Yin element : thus to them water is not suitable to be used in a "yin" location e.g. such as a bedroom. Here, it is a "static" painting, and not real moving water. 1.2. There are some who consider a painting of a water fall, as "moving" water ... so to them their interpretation is that since a bedroom should be for rest "yin"; then moving water = Yang is not suitable in a bedroom environment. 2. Frankly, these are the two most common interpretations by different Geomancers. Again, there is no right or wrong answers. See which or both appeal to best to the lay person. 3. What is really…

These are some considerations:- 1. If your approach is thru the Compass School of Feng Shui; then it is best to draw up a 20 Year Flying Star Chart and find out exactly what are the Flying Star numbers at the northwest area (sector):- 1.1. If that sector has the Water Star #8; and depending on the Mountain # and Base # stars; etc... 2. Otherwise, what you had writte…

These are my comments: 1. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui: Symbolically, it looks like your work-table faces the same direction as the table in your boss room. This is a plus point. 2. Compass School of Feng Shui: 2.1. If you know your best facing direction (e.g. under the Eight House concept) and this new facing direction of your work-table is favourable; again this is another plus point. Here, you need to do some homework such as using the ordinary compass to find the orientation. 2.2. Most likely, this is beyond you; as usually, a Flying Star chart can be plotted to check the various sectors and Flying Star influence.

1. This link has some resources on the placement of the kitchen stove:-http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Kitchen_Stove_%26_More Uma S. wrote: any remedy if i have no other go but cook facing south pl advice on my e mail 2. Usually the most sensible thing is to check the layout of the kitchen to see if it is posible or feasible for it to face another direction. Otherwise, this is a "physical" thing and hardly any remedy for it.

These are some considerations:- 1. You can generate the Eight House report to check on How suitable this house is to usually the male breadwinner under this Free link:- http://www.geomancy.net/reports/reports-list/perlist-suitablehouse.htm 2. For DIY, frankly, you have to do more reading and if possible apply both the Shapes and Forms Feng Shui as well as the Flying Star Feng Shui.

1. Graphic illustration of best working direction based on the Eight House can be found under this url link:- http://www.geomancy.net/reports/reports-list/perlist-workposition.htm However, this Eight House or Gua 1 (thing) is considere NICE-to have and not a MUST-have. Anonymous wrote: HI , I am seated at the NW corner of my office , i am facing the window and my back is directly facing the door . 2. Your above statement is a concern under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. 3. Between Para 1; Eight House and Para 2; Shapes and Forms prevail over the Eight House concept. Here, under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui; it is not favourable to seat with your back directly facing t…

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, your bed layout is in-line with the shape of the interior in relation to the walls, bed-head area; windows and main door. Thus this is generally a good layout plan. 2. At 5th storeys high there is no major concern of sha qi from the physical point of view. At ground floor; the concern has more to do with "wandering vehicles" i.e. vehicles that could "slam" into the buidling e.g. road accident or high speed out of control vehicles. 3. Thus, strictly from the Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, a gentle curved window seems "majestic" and makes the entire home bright from both sides i.e. large facing d…

These are some considerations:- 1. The Key success factor is First Choice: based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. And critically, for a bedroom, one has to visualise how qi flow and where is the dead qi of a bedroom. 1.1. For example; please see attachment. The areas marked in RED are considered as Dead Qi area. Where assuming that without turning on the air-con to circulate in bedrooms: Master Bedroom, Bedroom 2 and or Bedroom 3; these areas highlighted in RED is not favourable for the bed-head to be placed close to such areas. 1.2. Such areas are ideally locations for wardrope. Unless as mentioned under Para 1.1. if an air-con is turned on all the time; then there …

Does a wooden frame with glass door or an aluminium frame with acrylic door makes any difference? 1. In my opinion, it makes no difference between a wooden - with glass or aluminium frame with acrylic door. Anonymous wrote: 2) Also the dining area is just beside the main entrance. Is it advisable to put our dining table just beside the Main entrance? 2. Frankly, this has more to do with commonsense, then Feng Shui. 2.1. It has to do with "first impressions". For example, it (the dining table) would be the first time a guest would see whe…

1. Please refer to another similar thread:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=27373&new= 2. It relates to "Commonsense-Feng Shui". The most obivious is to have a neat and tidy kitchen cum service yard area. And perhaps, some door as another user wanted to install in the above thread. 3. Commonsense dictate that in most situations; it is highly unlikely or impractical for a home owner to close the door be ita sliding or swinging door most of the time. However, in the event that one has guests, then; one could easily close this door. Especially in a practical world, one still has to hang clothes unless one uses a washing machine c…

Dear Master Cecil, You mentioned that the correct method to find a suitable house is using the Personal Element thru Bazi Life Reading but I notice that most of yourSample Report is usingKua Number. Why ????Correct me if I amwrong. What Package should I take if my family consists of 5 people - Myself, My Mother (aged 67), my Husband and my 2 Daughters (aged 9 and 12) ? Do I need to know my daughters future house hunting option now ? Thank you for your kind guidance. Regards

1. If you are referring to a fixed template that is suppose to be super-imposed onto a layout plan; where e.g. North = career, SW = romance etc... then this is a modern invention. 2. This modern invention originated in Taiwan around the 1980's. 3. Traditional Feng Shui does not use such a model. 4. Best to expand your studies or research elsewhere.

These are some considerations: 1. There are no cures for facing a good or bad direction. Why? Commonsense says that you either face a good direction or not. There is no if's or but's, here. 2. Are there known cures available for this theory of good directions? Check out this link:The Three-Step-Approach 3. You have to apply other concepts like the Flying Star etc.. to try and maximise luck from elsewhere....

These are some considerations:- 1. If Feng Shui is used as a diagnostic tool to determine whether it can or cannot help; 2. Such key success factors include things like:- 2.1. Ba zi analysis of the individual. As some individuals are better to work for others than to do own business 2.2. Earth Luck: A detailed look at the earth luck: luck from one's home and work / shop 3. The above are generally the set of Holistic Approach to Feng Shui. 4. External Factors: 4.1. Please note that good Geomancers can often distinguish whether a business can be helped by Feng Shui or NOT. As Feng Shui is not a cure all for everything even business failures. 4.2. For example, in Si…

One of the best method is often to allow qi to flow into the room. Especially if the water star "is close" to the window area. Simple thing like after a heavy rain, ventilate the room. Anonymous wrote: My bedroom has Water Star 8 (and Mountain Star 6, Base Star 9). I would like to activate Water Star 8, but I read that one should not put a water feature in the bedroom. Does that mean I can never activate Water Star 8 in my house? Does putting crystals help? Thanks.

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Feng Shui and Commonsense. 2. Yes, you are already aware that under Feng Shui; a home at a"T-junction" is unfortunately, not the best choice. 3. However, it also depends on things like: 3.1. How fast the vehicles can or may travel on such a road and it also depends on Right-hand-drive (RHD) or Left-hand-drive (LHD) road. As the way, the vehicle turn-in and out of the T-junction also applies. 3.2. For example, when we stand at the front gate area of the home. How "fast" and whether does vehicles are "aimed" towards your property before it turns is another consideration. Here, under commonsense; we hope that sincerely; one…

There are two options: Option 1. D.I.Y. (do it yourself)or Option 2. Get yourself on-site advice - as usually a geomancer will often apply the proper tools; do a survey and study and make recommendations to you. With your limited info; it is difficult or near to impossible to help you, here. For example, there are lots of info needed such as the compass directions, when the block was built, family particulars; how far, how high is the unit..... and more.... If you want to D.I.Y; then in my opinion, you need lots of patience and lots and lots of understanding ....... For this reason, many considered Option 2.

1. Under Symbolism in Feng Shui, the main concern of the bed-head sharing the same wall as the kitchen is IF the location of the stove is directly opposite one's bed-head position. 2. Thus, there is no major issue so long as the above Para 1 does not happen. 3. If directly behind the bed-head is a preparation table or small breakfast table area or fridge or even washing machine - all no issue at all. 4. Again, there is very few homes (if any) that are totally "perfect". Even those we tend to built from scratch also may have some issues. 5. Therefore, a missing corner at South is not that bad. 6. Flying Star considerations. 6.1. Assuming that such an apartment Flying…

These are some of the considerations:- 1. First-time open door procedures: Usually performed by a new owner of the home who had taken over a re-sale or a brand new home. 2. If one is renting a home; and if one is moving from another home or apartment; symbolically, when I moves home; make sure that all the essentials e.g. cooking oil, rice, sugar, salt etc.. are full or well stocked up at the new home. In fact the Move-in procedure as found under http:/info.geomancy.net has some of these. 3. Essentially, when we first stay in a new home, we should "stock" up our kitchen. 4. Please note that the First-time-open door and Move-in procedures are considered as "NICE-to-hav…

1. If you had done a Search using the SEARCH button on the TOP left frame in this forum you can easily find these resources:- 2. For example, it is simply commonsense that for most bedrooms the overhead beam is only a few inches "deep". 3. And commonsensedictates that no one sleeps so close to the bed-head frame. We have the bed frame, we have the pillow. And by the time we place our head on the pillow; the saying goes "fear not" your head will normallybe so far away from this "so called beam".

1. Please be careful. There is no known crystal or stones that have such magic powers. 2. Maybe, we should not be reading too many Superman cartoons of kryptonite and it's effect on him. 3. In Singapore, many people were conned into buying a "magic" stone which claims to be able to cure cancer and other ailments. These victims learned the hard way with their hard earned money. 4. Cavet Emptor! Let the buyer, beware! 5. Remember: Charity begins at home. Might as well keep the money for a rainy day or bring family members for a sunday lunch treat! Why should we line the pockets of con-persons with our hard earned money. 6. Shhhhhh! Let you in on a secret... the Mo…
