Dear SL, 1. In my opinion, for those who would like to really find out what is real Feng Shui can get their `clue' from "academic" Feng Shui books especially from Dr. Evelyn Lip. 2. Some of Dr. Evelyn Lip's book include: " Feng Shui for the Home " and " Chinese Geomancy. " One can easily search for the author especially under : amazon.com or other online bookstores. 3. It is sad that today.. many may not want to `touch' her books because it refers more towards: history, origin and various concepts in Feng Shui. However, many people (I believe) feel that it may not have strong advise or an A to Z application of what they perceive as Feng Shui. Unlike another famous author …

1. In my opinion, majority of these things are modern commercial products. (Virtually useless.) 2. Just imagine, your parents and grand parents time don't have such things how? 3. Look at it this way: How old are you? And how old have you own a car? Did you when you bought the first car or this car; place any of such "charms". 4. If I were you, I will re-read Para 1; if one cannot find the answers you wanted. 5. Even if it was given out of good will by your friend; Please refer to Para 1. 6. Is it a coincidence that I bought a red car and/or a grey car that I was involved in more accidents than I would with any other coloured colour? 6.1. Scientifically, it was found tha…

Look at this way. Even in period costume movies or tv shows, seldom have we come acr…

Dear Wasis, 1. You asked a very interesting question. 2. For those who have studied Management subjects: the term " Situational Approach " or " It Depends ". What this means is that it is felt that not two cases are the same. We have to depend on the situation and each situation may vary. Please see below:- To cure #5, #2, #4 and #5; the MOST EFFECTIVE cure is BIG METAL. For #5, (STRONG METAL) it is a " bad, bad boy" and the best cure is to use a 6 rod, metal windchime. For #3, (STRONG WOOD) it is also highly recommended to use the constant chime 6 rod wind chime (symbolically) to `hammer' it like akin to constantly smashing it. Similarily, moving metal such as 6 rod…

IN SUMMARY " Viewing a new apartment during the seven-month ghost festival might be seen as unlucky because of cultural beliefs about the spirits of the departed. It's wise to consider local traditions and feelings when scheduling such events during this time." - Cecil Lee, Geomancy.net +++ Dear Jeffrey, 1. I believe there are different views on what actions to take or avoid during the 7th month. 2. The key point is to refrain from traveling or being away from home (like camping, for instance). 3. Personally, I think it's still 'acceptable' to look at a house. However, some FS professionals might not fully agree with this. Thus, we…

Yes, from a quick glance (eye-ball) view; it looks acceptable.

Dear Anon, In my opinon, the best units are at #20 or #23. Units that are facing the highway such as #22, #30 etc... can be quite noisy and parts of their balcony/bedrooms is affected by the afternoon sun especially for higher floors. The unit that you are considering is OK especially for high floors since there is a very auspicious double 8 at the balcony area(facing direction).And in fact, what better scope is that there is aswimming pooljust outside of it. Furthermore, because the unit is South-Northdirection, most of the unit(s)will not be affected by the afternoon sun. Only the very high floo…

Hi Cecil, I like to applaud the generosity and kindness that you have displayed here to someone that is met with such a turn of event. I can understand how Elaine feel at this moment as I am also a casualty of such fate myself. I do believe in Cause and Effect, and this seed that you have planted will definitely yield many good returns for your kindness and benevolent action. I personnally has experienced many well known and renowned FS master in Asia and the first reply to my plead was the pricing structure instead how they can help someone in distress. You are the first that I have come across in the last 24 months that is concerned with the problem of the person rather…

Dear Cecil Do you review this condominium? The Woodsvale COndominium - 1 Woodlands Drive 72, 738089 I am actually keen on the penthouse unit

Dear Anon, 1. Try to do a SEARCH in this forum for " World Trade " - as I had posted something about it earlier. Avoid using " Centre " or " Center " as I often use the British form of Centre instead of the American form of Center. I believe for most of those who died at the world trade centre, many perish with the aviation fuel/flame. In most part, the World Trade Centre tragedy is mostly of cremation or nearly everyone perish - ashes to ashes. I strongly believe for sometime; at least, or a section of the site could become a memorial. Else, if we look into documentaries on Discovery, there were documentaries of `ghosts' at Gettysburg (USA), many other sites su…

Dear Glyn, In general, the `calculation' of the amount of water is similar to the `calculation' for Missing Corners. This should be less than 33.3 percent of the house. Here we are talking about e.g. pool water. However, FIRST PRIORITY should be given to the consideration under the Shapes and Form i.e. it should not be in the centre of the house, the back of the house etc... Waterfalls with water in storage tanks etc.. are least affected because this is mostly installed by building owners and it usually does not exceed a `small' percentage of their land area. On the micro-level, it would depend on a person's element and how well it goes with water. For example, if a pers…

Hi, Feng Shui is a wide topic, with many different western translators providing many different terms for a same topic. I believe if you are referring to balance, it should be more towards the Five Elements or at least Yin or Yang. Basically, for Five Elements, when you have one of each of the five elements you are supposed to be in a stated of balance which is "neutral". Five Element is very special, on the under the production principle:- Production Metal -> Water -> Wood -> Fire -> Earth -> Metal At the same time, when you have all Five Elements the destruction principle:- Metal -> Wood -> Earth -> Water -> Fire -> Metal It is a very speci…

Dear LH, Thanks for the clarification. Yes, using the adage: "If one cannot see it, it no longer becomes a threat". In your example, since the stove does not face the main door (directly) in full view, it is not a "threat" to it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Thank you for sharing with everyone this information. Yes, this general belief is considered by many FS experts specialising in Shapes and Form School. We can generally classify this as under " Symbolism " in Feng Shui. A few Taiwan FS Masters also warn of `innocent' objects such as a thin narrow Chimney as equivalent to a joss stick. The end result is usually calamity or death for family members. Once again, thanks for sharing with everyone this information. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Judy, Please see below:- In general:- 1. Auspicious symbols e.g. each of the mandarin characters Fu Lu Shou can be carved a string of auspicious character as borders e.g. say outside the building or on a piece of furniture. I personally have a table lamp that has carved piece of "Fu" character table lamp. Here, these are auspicious symbols, that are part of the furniture or fittings. 2. The `taboo' or `superstition' is that if it is a figurine of one of the deities etc... it should be `treated with dignity and respect'. Thus, for objects that are `alive' or figurines, try to avoid placing them at locations I had mentioned earlier such as next to a toilet wall. …

Dear Aloysius, Good Question. The idea, here is to complete or try to complete all renovations at these areas e.g. North (3killings);West (5 yellow) and NW (Grand Duke) for 2006before we move-into the home. Usually for those who purchased a new home or a resale home:- 1. Select a good date for initial opening of the main entrance door. 2. Select a good date to start renovations. Here, so long as one has not moved-into the apartment, as yet; contractors hacking or knocking or painting at North, West or NW (2006) does not matter. 3. Select a good date to move-in. What matters most is that once we moved-in, avoid doing further work at these three sectors. 2007 is near…

1. Please note that there is no such thing as a perfect home. Even if we were to built our home, there are often still - some flaws be it minor or major. 2. Don't over-eat concepts like Eight House (4 Good/Bad directions) as what is most important STILL is personal feelings which is strongly associated with Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. 3. For example, even if one's good direction is directly facing a window or glare from the sunlight; after a while; even if it is a good direction, one may get headache from the glare! More...
