Dear Vu, 1. Based on our experience, it one is assessing only your apartment unit, than from the centrepoint of the house, locate where is the main door. 2. If the apartment is only one level or storey; then determine the centrepoint and from here find out where is the direction of the main door. 3. If the apartment has two or more levels, determine where is the main entrance to this apartment. From the centrepoint, find the direction of the main door. 4. If one is trying to do a Feng Shui audit for the entire block, then, this is different from Para 2. and 3. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Timothy, Please see below:- If however, the mirror does not face the door directly, this is still OK. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Need some help. I have a few pots of cactus given by family members, but not sure where to place them in the house. Some people advise me not to place them at entrance, living room, kitchen and even bathroom. That means all these cactus have no place in a house at all. Master, have time please help to advise. Thank you

Dear Anon, To be truly honest, a sports center would need to serve a need for: 1. Easy entry and exits 2. if possible shelter (moveable roofs) to keep rain or harsh sunlight 3. Since there are lots of steps in a stadium, you could follow this guideline on the number of steps:- Introduction: 1. In Feng Shui, there are two traditional methods of determining the number of steps. 2. The first method is a 3 number combination. Where the first two steps are Auspicious but the last step is inauspicious. METHOD 1 - THE THREE-STEP CYCLE ======== 3. Thus under the `Three-steps formula' step No. 1 (Auspicious), Step No. 2 (Inauspicious) while Step No. 3 is considered inauspic…

Dear Marie, 1. Thank you for your sketch. However, I cannot really see the octagonal shape especially several of the lines were broken. 2. There are two dimensions in order to have a clear picture:- a. Shapes and Forms b. Flying Star 3. Under the Flying Star, usually if your house was born between 1984 to 2003; the centrepoint has current prosperity. However, in some of the layouts; there can be metal elements such as weak #7 detected there or a combination of #7 with #1. 4. If the centre grid or pie chart already as #7 with #1 this implies that there is already a virtual #7 metal with #1 water. And not necessary to have real water. 5. In addition if you are staying in a…

Dear Anon, House numbers has more to do with one's preferences or culture. In particular, many Chinese (Cantonese) do not like number number 4 or if a series of number sounds inauspicious. Otherwise, there is no basis in Feng Shui on house numbers. Warmest Regards, Cecil

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 Wincash, Please see below:- In the second place, it is good that you advise the inexperience practitioner not to practise looking at dates:) Thirdly, even if one wants to stay in an abandon home; the only rationale I could think of are: 1. A fugitive running away from the law 2. Refugees running away from war 3. A movie company making a film and often, we find the heroes running into abandon homes. What do you think? Often, those who haunt `haunted' houses want to chase humans away from their domain (home). So, why would they want to follow the practitioner home? In the past, or quite recently, I had written about evil people who intentionally "breed" bad spi…

Dear Anon, There are two levels of suitability which you can check:- 1. Eight House - Which shows you which of the 4 directions is good or bad. 2. Ba Zi Element - ie weak Wood is favourable for Water (North etc). For house direction, in either case, if you already choose a house which isn't suitable for you, there is no way you can force the house to suit you unless you move to a house that have the direction favourable for you. But ideally, if a house isn't favourable to you and as long as it isn't your death or disaster, then it isn't too bad yet. However, if the house is considered death or disaster, then in the long run you will benefit from moving to a more suit…

Dear Yum Chinn, 6. Here, the key understanding is: the parallel of an examination: 6.1 Many of us had in one way or other done an examination paper requiring us to Answer 4 compulsory questions. 6.2 Here, the concept is all about "maximising all our marks". If 4 compulsory questions have to be answered and if the total marks = 100 percent, then each question carries 25 marks. 6.3 In an examintion technique, it stands to reason, it we should not only answer 3 questions, but if the paper is 2 hours paper, then we should rigidly allocation 30 minutes for each question. 6.4 Often, we hear teaching saying that even if we answer three questions, but leave out the 4t…

Hi Anon, Unfortunately, the better placement of a bed position can only be done if you have the options to. In your case, you do not have much of a choice. A bed facing the toilet door isn't really that bad. Most of the time most houses are so small now a days, that you get this almost all the time. As our home toilet is usually not as dirty as a public toilet, frankly this is a minor issue compared to other issues. So my advice is just keep to your current best position, and keep the toilet cover down and/or toilet door close when not in use. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, It does not matter if it is N-NE, NW-SE. But rather, often, the entrance is at the frontage of the building. And, if often also, open car parks are most conveniently location at the frontage or surrounding / around the perimeter of the building - taking into consideration, the movement in and out of the building. For example, in some larger buildings with only open car park, cars are often parallel parked in a one-way direction. Where vehicles come in at one direction and exit another direction. It also depends on the shape of the plot of land plus the outline of the plot of land. For example, if the front has only room for the entrance, but the back of th…

Dear Desma, The first thing we need to know is that Feng Shui is about balance. For small objects or items such as a ring, it really does not matter. I usually apply the 33.3 percent ruleset. Where, if the item is not greater than the above either in mass, volume or area, it does not really matter that much. Furthermore, I believe, the sharp corners of the diamond should not pose any problems. A square diamond ring, can be considered of the `Earth' element if we talk interms of its shape and some would consider that it is derived from the earth, it is thus an Earth element. (Square shape represents Earth element). In some other culture perhaps, I am not sure if square dia…

Flying Star and facing direction....

Dear Janice, 1. The Eight Aspiration is a static template which is based on the bagua and therefore least personalised to any one person. 2. The Eight House at least personalises to the year of birth of a person. Thus, there is a certain level of personalisation. 3. You should always follow priority, ie Eight House before Eight Aspiration. So only after you confirm it matches the Eight House, then you can fine tune further with the Eight Aspiration. 4. Just like all theories, you have to know what each is for and apply accordingly. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Elena, Yes, that is indeed correct. In fact the center of the house where all the energy converged, should be left empty if possible.So in this case, it is definately more ideal if you look for another better house. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee
