General Help

Dear Anon, 1. I certainly wish, Feng Shui can help, here. But there are several considerations: 1.1 To-date, this is indeed a buyer's market. And there are just too many choices open for selection by many buyers. 1.2 The only (logical) use of Feng Shui is (IF) one's home does have one or several favourable Shapes and Forms (auspiciousness) - as a major selling point. 1.3 But, often, many people nowadays also bring along a compass to find the best directions or to see if the house is suitable to them. 1.4 This is not Feng Shui. But I believe, you would have `cleaned' up or had touched-up repainted the house e.g. white *a neutral colour' to make it look clean and bright. 1…

Dear Glenetta, Frankly, as mentioned earlier, this has more to do with beliefs than Feng Shui. In my opinion, one could place the evelope perhaps at the same location where we often have a "central" focus or display or on a table. Sometimes, we could place it at convenient locations such as next to or close to the set of keys or the table where we place our wallet or set of car keys etc... I have never done this before -- i.e. the placement of a "wish" envelope, thus, perhaps, this could be the wrong place for such a question. To me, any place will do so long as the wind does not blow it away or a place where, it does not collect dust or placed into a location that aft…

Dear Nita, Frankly, this issue has more to do with maintenance or upkeep of the furniture (cupboard) than Feng Shui. Often, broken or nearly broken pieces could further fall off or splinter and this may not be safe. For example, pieces could fall off to the floor and one may accidentally step on it. If there is an issue in replacement, then, provided, also "uglyness" is not an issue, than, simple options are to purchase masking tape or scotch-tape to seal the sharp edges and hold the rest of the mirror together. Later on, than, see whether you can take your time to replace it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Frank, Please see below: Some Feng Shui schools recommend placing "yin" water at sectors that is out of balance and require "yin" water. Here, get a 1.5 litres plastic bottle, place 6 coins inside and fill it up with tap water. Here, again, it is used as a cure rather than as an enhancement. Frankly, between such "remedies" I would instead, prefer to invest in a Hepa air cleaner such as from Honeywell , Sharp etc... to help purify the air instead. Since, these are proven. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Janna, Perhaps, hope you can clarify further. Often, if you own a unit or stay in a unit. And if it happens that digging is done at the SW sector e.g. your bedroom is at the SW, one can be affected by the work. Therefore, in your unit, and if e.g. the master bedroom is at SW and outside this South-west sector, digging is done, than there are instances e.g. of one falling sick, frequently. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Master, I have purchased a brand new house in 1998 which is facing 183 degree (S2) with front door at the South side of the house facing also 183 degree, sitting N2. It is rectangular shaped. Based on Flying Star analysis, my house has a perfect "sum of ten" (mountain star and period star)in all 9 palaces built in Period 7. With Period 8 coming, I am not sure this house would be as auspicious as in period 7, since the chi of period 7 house declines in period 8. Can you enlighten me with my dilemma? Thank you so much for your help! Wang Jing

Dear Anon, Is it possible for you to sketch and scan your layout plan. Or alternatively, you can fax it to +065 6482 0570 together with your email address. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi Anon, Feng Shui is no miracle cure for all problems. Feng Shui cannot control how much a person wishes to spend or save, this is more of a human factor. You should probably try to say get your husband to do like a financial planning, so that he can see how much he earns and how much he spends. This way he will then realise that he might be spending unnecessarily and start to save more. No amount of feng shui can help you change it. Feng Shui can help you improve the amount of potential wealth, happiness and health but it cannot help you on controlling your wealth. For questions on Health, there may be two possibilities:- 1. From Ba Zi, it seems that you though yo…

Dear Lynda, Yes, given your situation, it is best to maximize the Feng Shui of your home based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. Please see below:- However, white even for furniture is considered a neutral element. And since white also represent metal, it is one of the safest colours. Under the Eight House, if the sector is better for you, then, it is best that you sleep closer to the sector while your husband, sleeps further away. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sullivan, Apologies; what I was talking about has more to do with "openings" in a home that e.g. allow light to filter into it. Therefore, the idea is that, for example, if one side of the home is littered with lots of windows, doors, balcony, patio or sliding doors; therefore, it implies that with so many openings, there is a higher probability that this side is the facing direction. Although, a side where there is higher intensity could SEEM to be the facing side. But, often, this is not the main consideration. For example, for a bungalow that has four sides, and if the facing direction is North-South facing (e.g North - facing and South - sitting), just beca…

Dear Felecia, Usually, the major cause of concern for a landed property is to avoid underground water or sewerage pipes running under the bed. Here, a German study has found that there are high incidence of cancer where beds are located immediately above these pipes running below ground. Frankly, for the Chinese (especially) many Chinese FS practitioners would often, recommend not to buy the site. (Me included). This is because, the graves are at the frontage of the home. It would be better if the graves are (at least) at the back of the home. Given that your husband has cancer, it would not be too favourable to have such a home. For those who are interested in buildi…

Dear Hoa, As mentioned, in the earlier message, it is best to provide the # numbers. For a fire cure, often, check to see if a sector has good natural lighting. This is the best solution. If not, check to see if the location does not have too much "dark" coloured items and the walls are kept bright. Or alternatively, is the lighting sufficient at this sector. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Teresa, 1. Appreciate if you can elaborate further. 2. From what I read, perhaps you are mentioning that the main door is located at your `disaster' (Eight House). And this is influenced by Flying Star #6 mountain with #7 water? 3. If this is the case, we should not mix the Eight House with Flying Star. 4. If #6 is with #7 (and without looking at the base #no; then these two are metal elements: #6 is strong metal with #7 weak metal. 5. Again, with reference to the base #no; this can be considered as a classic case of "wealth" corner in Flying Star Feng Shui. 6. Under the Flying Star Feng Shui, if there are: 6.1 If this is frontage of the house (which signifies clear…

Dear Anon, 1. Often a Flying Star analysis would reveal significant numbers of bad star associations e.g. #3 (disputes, quarrels, conflicts) #4 (scandals) Usually these stars may have combined with other bad stars like #2 and #4. For example, under the eight-one combinations #3 with #2 would result in quarrels, bad luck, lawsuit, lost of wealth. Often stars like #4 (bad wood) may combine with #1 (water) where water may further fuel or increase bad wood. 2. It is good to look at your home in relation with the Flying Star Feng Shui. And especially cure sectors that are out-of-balance. As each house has different Flying star numbers, a cure would have to be based on your sp…
