Dear Anon, There is some truth in this. The rationale is because usually, at (high or higher levels) the statues will not "clash" with our normal living. A. "Salivating at what we eat or drink!" Most often many of us have limited wall space in a home. And it is very common to find the statues facing e.g. the dining table or the living room coffee-table. In such examples, placing the statues at low levels would imply that they could literally be "eyeing" what we eat or drink! And thus considered disrestpectful. In the above, two examples, thus placing the statues at a higher level would mean that they are usually above this line of sight, thus is a better choice given …

Dear Everyone, Before, I answer the question on mirrors, there is an important concept of mirror: " Mirror, mirror on the wall ". Please see illustration in the attached file. (Only available under web-login to the forum. Attachment not included for those participating or listening in from an e-mail mailing list). History: 1. The Cantonese dialect group is particularly fond of placing mirror(s) in the living room. The idea is that food on the dining table can be multiplied. 2. The above, is particularly favourable to Hong Kong Feng Shui practitioners. Especially since the majority of Hong Kongers are Cantonese themselves! 3.

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my questions. I really do understand (or thought I did) the five elements concept clearly. I believe my confusion comes from reading conflicting information. i.e Idiots guide: center of home: 3(sitting)7 (facing)5 construction. their comment was: Metal pierces wood, domination cycle involving the unfavorable #3 and prevailing but inherently unfavorable #7 - add reductive phase water. ISN'T #7 LUCKY UNTIL 2004 WHEN THE CYCLE CHANGES? Am I making too much out of this? Any good books you could recommend? Thanks soooo much.

Dear Knight Elliot, Everyone has some form of personal intuition (often known as like Sixth Sense). Some people have very strong intuition, others have less. It is hard to tell you from a third party point of view, exactly whether the repeated 11 is it auspicious or not. Probably it sounds like a warning to me at this point. Usually, when a person is very close to you, when something happen, you just have some feeling about it. Quite natural. Sometimes, the best thing is not to be overly worried. When you think too much into anything, you only stress yourself out and add more worries. Especially, so when things just do seems to work out well for you. Unfortunately, we …

Would it help to move the pond to the front and then not use the downstairs at all ? I've had so much bad luck I will do anything. Do you know anyone who is experienced that could help me in Arkansas. I can't seem to find anyone who even knows anything about feng shui or should I just take your courses ad help myself. Carrie

Dear Master Lee, I am looking to purchase a landed property. The house faces west and the back fence is higher than the front. My concerns is with a Government sewer line that runs down one side of the land, (from the back to the front). This Is a sewer line that connects to surrounding properties. It does not go under the house. Please could you advise on the negative effects of this sewer line. I humbly thank you for your help.

Dear Elena, Yes, there is a recorded study known as something like "bubology" (sorry my spelling is wrong). This is a study in Germany where it was found that there is high correlation of cancer with beds above a sewerage pipe-line. Feng Shui is much about this invisible "qi" or water course such as a sewerage pipe which could emit harmful "vapours". It looks like it is difficult to relocate your bed. But are you sure that the sewerage pipe runs directly... or anyother better placement of the bed. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi! Good day! Is a sewer pipe, in the attached photo, running in the ceiling (will be concealed with a wooden plyboard), a bad position or placement in Feng Shui? The bed will be placed below it, though not directly. Please advise? Thanks a lot!

Hello, We have sewer pipes exiting our home to go to the septic tank. This, of course, has to happen, but I am concerned about them crossing the path of the front door. They are of buried underground and they do not cross the front door entrance. Is this okay?

1. For your first question, not a major concern so long as the cover for the sewerage hole is fully sealed. As we don't want "gas" e.g. methane to escape from the man-hole. 2. It is never advisable to have the septic tank around the center of the home. Given that logically how do you drain off excess "gas - methane or other gases". Your second question, is a more important concern. While the first can easily be "rectified" i.e. make sure that the gas or dirty air don't flow and contaminate cooked food in anyway.

Dear Carol, You are absolutely correct. 28 Jan 1960 to 14 Feb 1961 = Year of the Metal-Rat While:- 8 Feb 1959 to 27 Jan 1960 = Year of the Earth-Pig 15 Feb 1961 to 4 Feb 1962 = Year of the Metal-Ox 5 Feb 1962 to 24 Jan 1963 = Year of the Water-Tiger Source / References:- http://www.geomancy.net/love/a30-50.htm and http://www.geomancy.net/love/a60-80.htm Year of the Tiger only `arrived' on 5 February 1962. Therefore based on your partner's Year of Birth, she was born in the Year of the Metal-Rat as mentioned by you. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Great! What you had mentioned; is correct! Carrie H. wrote: So that would mean that my 10 heavenly stems would be "10" and my twelve earthly branches would be "12" correct?

Could you please advise me of cures for a home which is situated at the top of a T intersection? We have just purchased the home and it's perfect except for this problem. It is double storey with the main bedroom situated on 1st floor towards the rear of the home. Should I erect a fence and plant trees behind it? What design of fence would be best if so. The street is running towards the house from west to east( in Australia. ) I would really appreciate your help. We move in at the end of January. Many thanks.

Dear Alan, Thank for your description of the situation. 1. Try to see if you can apply (if possible) this concept: " If it no longer can be seen, it will no longer be a threat ". 2. At the balcony, day curtains would be useful (for brightness). Or, reflective sun-X protection on glass panels (especially) on sliding panels or windows that you do not often open. 3. Since the protusion is of the Metal element, Red (fire element) can be used to `control' it (only). 4. If you or your family are Christians or Catholics, if the sha qi is distinct, then use a flat circular mirror above the balcony and/or the main door. As both the balcony (considered as the frontage) and the ma…

Dear Daniel, 1. The concept: "If one cannot see it, it no longer becomes a threat." applies here. 2. What you basically need to do is to protect your `windows' and the `back door'. What you need to do, is to; if you have a window or back door, stand inside the house facing outwards. If the poison arrow cuts thru or can be seen pointed into the house, this is where the house `becomes' vulnerable. Should there be poison arrows aimed at a window, you can resort to use a thicker curtain or close the windows. For the backdoor, close it when not in use. This is how, we should `protect' our house. Those areas that allow poison arrows to `fly' in. The same should be done to chec…

Cecil, For you to better understand the scenario,my apartment is located at the corner of the common corridor. Yes, the bamboo sticks (which is at the common corridor)is pointing directly at my Main door - horizontally. They pointing directly at the main door - not by the side. Distance is about 25 metres from my apartment. Hope this info is helpful. Thxs. Jeff

As mentioned, previously, marking B or the rear is about common sense. And from your description, the front does not seem threatening.

Dear Daniel, More important consideration is the edge of a table which produces `Sha Qi'. Others relating to books and CD's are modern concepts and in my opinion less important than Sha Qi produced by sharp corners and overhead beams. Many of us are constantly surrounded with such modern day convenience and it is difficult to keep these away yet be convenient for us to `use'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Thank you very much foryour answer, I would like to make couple clarifications. 1. The house facing is very bad for my husband, since he is a west group. East is the worst direction for him. Should I be concerned? 2. I understand that kitchen should not be in the NW section of the house, that is why I am thinking of renovate the kitchen. After renovation,the stove will facing east, which still is a bad direction for both of us. Which one is worse? Stove in NW section, or stove facing bad direction? 3. The tree is very health fruit tree, however, it blocks light from east, make the entry dark. Since east is not a good direction, shall I leave it? The door is east facing, c…
