General Help

Dear Mike, Frankly, in my opinion, don't be overly worried about this. This is because "our life is what we want to make of it!" In my opinion, the danger with reading too much of this can lead into two unhealthy situations: 1. Auto-suggestion If we tell a sheep it is "stupid" - it does not understand and will not be affected by our statement. But if we were to for example constantly tell a child i.e. he /she is really stupid, in time, the child may feel inferior and have such social issues. 2. Self-fulfilling prophercy If we do constantly think and act that way, it will indeed come true. Since we are on this earth for such a short-time, we should try to make the best use…

Dear Joan, Frankly, it all boils down to "It depends". Or based on each situation. For those who had studied management principles, it is called " Situational approach". And this principle suggest that no two situations are alike. Thus, sometimes what we read, could be a general statement. Let us not forget that, as I had mentioned previously, more importantly, we should not only look at the four inner walls of a home but rather, the biggest influence is the environment. In many of my past messages, I had mentioned; that Shapes and Forms prevail: External vs internal, SWOT analysis i.e. S.W.O.T refers to Strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats to a specific locatio…

Dear Satori, Frankly, there is no harm in placing a rug. Perhaps, this is more like taking a "sugar-coated" pill. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Chung Mi, 1. In the past, I have mentioned about the idea of mirrors in the bedroom and the concept of: "How sensitive (thicked-skinned) are each of us?" 2. The "mirror" example: 2.1 Many of us have different tolerance levels. Often, we do hear of many persons who can literally sleep with lots of mirrors in their bedroom e.g. on the entire cupboards etc... And, these people, can really sleep "like a pig!". 2.3 But, we hear of the fantasy story ofa princess, who despite placing a single needle under her mattress, and stacking up many mattress, she can "feel" the needle. 2.4 So how sensitive are you? 2.5 Unfortunately, nowadays, our sensitivity (I suspect) has to…

Dear Gerardo, It is good to do a SEARCH for this subject either under search engines such as yahoo.com or if you have the time, you can also search this forum for these two key terms. If you do so, I am very confident that you should be able to find the differences and the purpose of each of these concepts. Let the fingers do the walking..... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anooja, Yes, if one lives on a landed property, one can take either one or a combination of the following measures: Firstly, try to imagine or view a home from a TOP-DOWN perspective (or from a "helicopter" looking downwards. 1. Landscaping If there is a missing corner and if permits, one can have a garden profile or landcaping that forms an outline of the missing corner (extends out of the missing corner) e.g. using potted plants or simply outline trees or bushes etc... 2. Placement of Light - in particular at the opposite corner of the missing corner. (Such that the lamp can be seen as "dotted" line(s). Well, these are the two most common methods. The other method …

Dear Bea, 1. Under this current Flying Star period, in general, the best colour is light shades or beige or cream color. 3. In such a situation, one should be realistic: 3.1 One way of doing is to find the binding colours of two parties first. And then look at all four. If colors does not match or some colors are inauspicious for some, then: 3.2 For the breadwinner and partner, colors can be seleted on the basis of their binding element. For example: If husband is considered a weak wood person and wife is considered a weak water person; then the binding element or color is the water element i.e. blue, black or grey. Since water (blue, black or grey) helps weak…

Dear Oliv, Firstly, Good Luck in selling of your home! Most of the time, the practical advise is/are: 1. Where possible, if the home needs a fresh coat of paint, this is a very good investment. 2. If the home is tenanted or occupied, it is always best to keep the home neat, tidy and remove as much clutter as possible. Generally, from a Feng Shui point of view, unless the home has some good sailent Feng Shui advantages e.g. it has a good view, or the home is e.g. a NE facing etc... Here, the buyer should be appreciative of what is good Feng Shui in particular for the home. Otherwise, most of the time, price is one of the major considerations as well as how well…

Dear Barb, Generally, even if the road has little or low traffic, by the fact that it is exposed to a road view, would place it as a home (as you had described) at a "T"junction. Under the water classics of Feng Shui, it is good to have water coming into the home. But do check whether at the exit point, can water canal be seen at the back of the house or at the side of the home. (If so, this is considered inauspicious). I reproduce, an old article in this forum indicating the method for counting the number of steps-in-a home:- Introduction: 1. In Feng Shui, there are two traditional methods of determining the number of steps. 2. The first method is a 3 number …

Hi Is it generally a concern to collect keys to a new home and enter it for inspection during a lunar 7th month? What are the things to look out for? Thanks

Dear Audrey, 1. As mentioned in my reply, if one is basing it purely on the Eight House, then this is not an ideal home. 2. However, many other factors must be taken into consideration. The term "location, location and location" is still the primary factor. 3. More often, we have to buy within our means. And, I believe, in Singapore or elsewhere, one do not need Feng Shui to understand that price is often linked or associated with a location. 4. For example, a place with a `nice view' often can command a higher premium (with or without the word Feng Shui factored in). 5. This is why; the saying goes "the rich, gets richer and the poor gets poorer". Here, the rich can ofte…

Hi Master Cecil, I am considering to purchase a new home that is to be built on a triangular lot. I have been researching on this topic and it shows everywhere that it is bad feng shui to live in a house on a triangular shaped lot. Please review the attached floor plan of the house and the specific lot (Lot #19). It would be greatly appreciated if you could share you thoughts on this property. Benny Floor Plan.pdf

Dear Mario, In my opinion, Feng Shui is not a cure all. To put logos in the right perspective:- 1. Ideally, if we are applying Geomancy, then a company signage or logo should preferably have three colours instead of one or two. Here, three stands for progress while one or two stands for death. 2. For a small business or sole proprietorship, the logo can be based on the Ba Zi of the owner. For example, if the owner is a weak water person, then, preferably, the company logo should have colours such as :- Metal (white or gold) Water (Blue black or grey). Since each element has a specific shape, i.e. metal = round and water wavy, for the company logo, perhaps, it coul…

Hi Master, I am look to purchase a condo. I have view a unit but need you advise if the unit is consider as facing the T-junction? The unit is below the road level according to Fengshui is it good for living? Thanks

Dear Anon, Is it possible for you to sketch your layout plan using a paint program and attach as either e.g. .gif or .jpg as it is quite difficult to understand the text sketch although you had taken much time in drawing it. This was the reason, I opened your message several times, wanted to review your message but could not comprehen with the lack of a proper layout sketch. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear David, Please see below:- This is because, firstly, many of the theories relate to : The Five elements concept. And this concept is not directly linked to the use of a compass. Even in the compass school of Feng Shui, there should not be a difference between the north and southern hemispheres. One of the main reasons is because, no matter where we are (especially up to as far as Australia or down under, the magnetic north is currently at the north pole. But however, many scientists are now ringing in alarm bells to say that the magnetic field is weakening in the last few decades and in the past, there was such thing as an entire swop of compass direction i.e…
