General Help

Hi Anon, Since the toilet location isn't a good location in the house, therefore it is ideal to have stars like the illness/misfortune stars. Usually such bad stars if fall in the toilet, storeroom etc are ok because they are not key areas in the house. The Kitchen is a fairly important area, so if there are any sickness or misfortune sstars, then you should neutralise the sector with Metal (white/gold colours). If the sector already has like star 6 or 7, then it should be much of a big issue. Generally, the best and most effectiveway to cure is always to balance the sector with the right colour scheme. If not, the traditional cure for big metal is to have the "6 coins…

Dear Lionel, Seems like it is ok. As the toilet is not in the middle but rather close to it. At the ground floor, it is best that the toilet is not located at the frontage of a home. On the second storey, it is preferred that the toilet is not above the main entrance door. Generally, what you had described is pretty common for quite alot of homes and still acceptable. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wasis, In such a situation, frankly, the essence here is that the bed should not be on the same wall and particularly, the `waste pipe' should not criss-cross or next to the bed. The only option is to leave a gap between the bed and this wall. This is perhaps the `lesser of the two evils'. Where it is not ideal for the bed to be away from the wall but this is much better considering the above. Warmest Regards, Cecil Regards, Wasis

Using eye-ball method, please see attachment for the centrepoint. Looks like the centerpoint is not located in the toilet. It is located in the kitchen. But fortunately, it is not directly above the stove which is inauspicious. The Concept of Maximizing Marksshould be applied should the toilet is located at the centrepoint.

Dear Anon, Usually, this (toilet at the centre) of the apartment is considered as ONE leak. But often, as mentioned, it is considered as ONLY 1 (ONE) leak. Furthermore, what is exactly at the centrepoint is crucial. If it is the toilet bowl directly at the centrepoint then this is considered1 major leak. But directly at the centrepoint is just the entrance or walk area, and basin, then this is not as bad as the toilet bowl at this direct location. Many homes can do with or afford to have more than 1 leak. And as no two homes or apartments are identical; it is best to "investigate" into each home to check for:- 1. whether there are further or moreleaks? 2. what we can d…

1. Yes, this is indeed, true! 2. In traditional Feng Shui, first check which sector the litter box is placed. In the Chinese trigram, each sector represents a specific person. And this may affect the health of that specific person and even ill-luck to that person. 3. Make sure that the litter is cleaned daily. And some Feng Shui practitioners recommend "a nice looking" or designer - branded type of litter bin - of such nature..

I know that regular toilet has to be placed in a certain direction of the house because it affects one's health. Will the placement of the litter …

In many countries, constructing a false ceiling using gypsium board material is a simple solution. Since you said no way to construct a false ceiling; then what? saw away the beam? Frankly,it is not like one is sitting under this beam 24 hrs / 7 days a year sort of thing? Such things are like some of the past messages that I had posted:- For example: Can you suggest any other way for all my 8 family members to sit in my saloon car? What the heck? after 5 members squeeze into the car, tie one family member on the roof? and another on the bonnet and the other place in the boot? Any suggestions? Go get a 8 seater MPV!

Dear Anon, Thank you for bringing up such an interesting observation. 1. Symbolism or importance of it is one of the key components in Feng Shui. 2. Since your finance is affected after doing so, it is prudent to see if you can correct it. 3. "The Customer Service Engineer Concept pr CSE Concept." Sometimeback, I coined this term because it is a useful term to remember. 4. Let me share with you this little observation. 4.1 In the past, I saw this incident: 4.2 This IBM machine (at a remote site) was giving intermittent communication problem with the host for many months. And remained unsolved. 4.3 Most of junior IBM Customer Service Engineers (CSE) could not solve this …

1. In fact on the contrary, toilet under a staircase is instead a blessing in disguise. 2. Frankly it is luckily just a toilet. Another common area is a storeroom below a toilet which is equally ecxellent. 3. Thus a cure is not necessary, here. 4. A dining table facing the stairs is again, based on shapes and forms is nothing serious so long as the dining table [is not too close to] the estairs that should anyone accidentally falls or trio, will not hit especially the head against the table. 5. Based on Shapes and forms, again, avoid any sharp objects on the dining table e.g. a scissorss placed on that part of the dining table for too long. 6. A plant, at the dining table…

Hello Master! Does a toilet underneath the staircase have any remedy? I have been looking at a property with the attached plan - the stairs continue over the toilet and laundry here to the first floor of this townhouse. Or should we no longer consider this property? Many many thanks!

This article I wrote around 1996 (thereabout) shows the danger of underground water. (Underground water may include underground water channels or even sewerage running below a bedroom:- http://forum.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-under.php For those who are building their dream home should take serious note of it. And for those who stay in landed property, it is good to find out where your sewerage pipe is running on the ground level. Hopefully, it is not running below your living room sofa, or even a specific bedroom in the ground floor!

Dear Juliana, These are inherent problems that one should avoid if possible. Frankly, there are no cures unless, the bathroom is not above e.g. the study room or dining room. Where possible, spent less time at these locations. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Frankly, the main concern is that of placing an altar with it's back sharing the toilet wall. 2. For example; this applies to both Chinese altars of various gods and even some Catholics who have a small "symbolic" altar. 3. Otherwise, any other concerns has more to do with personal feelings or personal sentiments: in your case a deep concern of placing family photos say on wall mounts. 4. Given the layout plan that you had provided; in-fact, there are many who had placed their dining table next to the toilet wall or sharing the wall -

Dear Master Lee, Would need your advise. My new unit has a toilet just right besides the Main door. Not sure whether it's bad. If it's bad, kindly advise what could be done. Would be very helpful if could advise what's best to be done for this unit. Attached floor plan for your reference Your advise would be very much appreciated. Thank you. Have a Happy & Healthy CNY in advance!

Hi Master Lee I have read in several places that the SW sector represents the female. If the female resides in a place where the toilet/kitchen/storeroom is in the SW sector, it is supposedly extremely detrimental. 1)does this mean that she should eliminate such a unit when house hunting? 2)does this common belief have any basis at all? 3)are there workable remedies to address it? Would appreciate your views. Thank you.

Yeah, forgot, Honeywell site also recommends the use of specific plants to help clean the air in the home:- http://content.honeywell.com/yourhome/eiac-air_cleaners/plants.htm Perhaps, for those who cannot (for now) afford the air cleaner can look at the recommended type of plants that can help to clean the house's air.

Hi What if I have already fixed the other flaws? As indicated, a hulu can be used to trap the wealth if the toilets are located at NE of house. What kind of hulu (i.e. made of what material) and where to place the hulu so as to fix this flaw?

Dear Angela, Please see below: Frankly, toilets are commonly situationed in all directions of a home. And in order to determine if one sector is not favourable (therefore remedies are placed) if not, no action should be taken. More importantly: Where is the toilet situated? Where possible, toilet(s) should not be situated at the frontage (next to main door); or centrepoint of the home. Often, if toilet(s) are not situated at this sector, there is no issue in having a remedy. Usually, in order to properly look into this question (from a Flying star perspective); then the sector chart should be looked into closely. For example, since 2004 is coming. And there are m…

Dear Anon, One can place a bedside table between the toilet door and the bed. Here, one also has to place a table / reading lamp on it. By doing so, it will act as a `partition' between the toliet area and the bed. For the sha qi i.e. corner pointing towards the bed, especially if it is made of wood you can use a wind chime. You can try this out. Since metal is overall quite a safe element to use and there should normally not be any `harm' doing this i.e. experiment. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. From my past and present experience, I found that many owners who had moved into such homes e.g. especially with toilet positions in `bad' locations. 2. I am not sure if it is a coincidence, but, in many situations, many of such owners have problems with their finances. Especially also if there are equally poor Shapes and Forms. This is my main concern. 3. In fact, just this month alone, I have done on-site Feng Shui audit and again (if this is a coincidence): many of the owners who had such `problems' encounter financial problems. Most of the time, it is compounded with other Shapes and Forms problems. 4. Two months ago, a past client, had success in his …

Dear Caroline, Frankly, there are not much one can do here. Overall, try to see if your house can benefit from FS luck in a holistic way than to base it on one sector. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Frankly, if one lives in an apartment, there is no choice to relocate the toilet. This is unlike a private landed property where, some renovations can be done to shift the toilet position. 2. Just several weeks ago, this client was telling me that one of their friends had a Feng Shui practitioner `Feng Shui' their friends home. 3. The practitioner asked the couple not to use the Master bedroom toilet forever. And close the door (permanently). 4. This is not a good solution: 4.1 The best is to check for any other leaks in a home and fix them. Here, we should fix other leaks and try to increase our luck in other areas. 4.2 If a toilet is there, it is there. A…

Dear Master Lee, I recently got interested in Feng Shui and found out that certain toilet placements in the unit that I am renting is unfavourable (please correct me if I am wrong). I have attached a picture of the floor plan showing the sectors of my unit. 1. The toilet that mainly concerning is the toilet that is located at the main entrance (Southeast). Not only is it located at the wealth sector, it is very near the main door. Is there anything I can do to remedy the negative qi of the toilet with regards to its sector, and also placement near the main door? Also, is it still advisable to place a water fountain on the left side of the door (looking out) to a…
