Dear Anon, Please see below:- In your case, actually, there is no harm to try and work on both Period6 and Period 7 Flying star Feng Shui. Since you have stayed in your home for quite sometime, you can take the opportunity to see which chart (P7 or P6) that is a better match to your home. The above method of doing two charts is in my opinion, a practical and sound practise amongst good Feng Shui practitioners and equally applies to everyone keen to understand their home birth chart. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Edwin, edwin tay wrote: I read with interest when you mentioned traditional Feng Shui and the Black Hat Sect. Can you tell us what's the difference between them. Basically, Traditional Feng Shui practise feng shui through the use of many concepts such as Shapes and Form, Compass Schools (Eight House/Flying Star), Ba Zi, I-Ching etc. They make use many of these tools which helps to personalise a person to the home. Black Hat Sect practise using static templates (ie South-West is Romance corner for example), so every's Romance activation sector is South-West. Also, a lot of such Black Hat Sect commonly tries to factoring selling products which claims to be able to c…

Thank you. I was wondering if/hoping this would be addressed. I was aware of the first problem (resemblence to joss sticks) but not the second two. Thanks for the education/enlightenment. Deb

Dear Steven, For a clear glass or see thru glass, such as those in modern shopping units, can be threatened by a `poison' arrow from a distance. Frosted glass or opaque film, would do the `trick'. Here, if one cannot see, it no longer becomes a threat is `half-true' i.e. half-solved. The treat has still to be neutralised outside the building to take effect. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi Master. I want to buy a house with a land shape of a left angled trapezium. The back of the house is where the slant of the trapezium is and we have shallow lake ex rice planting. only the land is trapezoid, the house is retangular shape. Is a land shaped like this a bad feng shui? Is there any remedy to it? i attached the picture along with the house layout. Thank you so much..

Hello Feng Shui masters, I'm looking at purchasing a property and while the apartment itself is not trapezoidal shaped, the detached garage (on the basement level) has a storage cage which is very obviously an irregular shape. Is this considered trapezoidal shaped land (since I will own the storage cage)? Kind regards and many thanks.

Hi gerret, What cecil wrote in the previous post is true. Here is my point of view. The below is apply to hotel rooms. 1) Avoid choosing room that is at the end of the hallway. 2) Avoid windows which is shaded by trees. This may cause the room to be too YIN. My personal opinion. Steven

Dear Anon, 1. Based on 965, where 9 represents fire, six metal element and 5 (bad Yellow five or earth), the 9 with 5 is not ideal as fire (9) enhances earth (5). 2. A 6 (metal) may not be enough in such a situation. 3. Many FS practitioners, consider a computer as belonging to the fire element. Therefore, if you can, try to add more `metal' e.g. 6 coins to further destroy the two combinations of fire-earth. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Could not find any discussion on traveling in different directions and how that effects us. Specifically traveling to country or a city which is in direction of ones death direction. Generally, most people do use this travelling information in this way. I mean to get from one place to another by car or plan, there can only be a certain direction you can travel. So if you follow it strictly like South is Death, that means you completely avoid South. But what if South is the only way to get to your destination? So this is not practical and that is why you do not see anyone following this strictly by the book. Furthermore, for the Eight House di…

The resource relating to the same type of situation can be found, here:- Flying Star Feng Shui as a Diagnostic Tool In life there are more tools than just the personal Gua or Kua.

Thanks for your graphics on the above question Cecil. In the case of two water tanks on top of a building opposite your own building, do you believe this can cause a problem for a business ? Cheers Glyn

Thank you foryour advise. Must I place the wind chimes/mirror facing the trunk outside on the main door?

1. Yes, Feng Shui cannot be done by remote control. If you don't stay at the (that) home, you will not be affected by it. 2. I understand that bamboos grow in clusters. And does not have a single tree TRUNK. If so, there is no impact with the clusters of trunks and branches of a bamboo plant on the Feng Shui of your home. 3. As we are not privilege to see what it is like, you may consider making a decision to keep or remove it especially if "darkens" the main entrance vis a vis covering the piping.

These are some considerations: 1. You should check what type of bagua mirror you are using. 2. If you do a search under this forum; there are already lots of resouces on the type of mirrors: 2.1 In GENERAL, the mirror that you should be using; in modern times is a conVEX mirror. 2.2 In the past, perhaps, it was harder to mould a conVEX mirror; often especially in the 1950s to 1960s -1970's the most common mirrors are the FLAT type. 3. The best mirror, to use today to deflect poison arrow or sha qi is the conVEX mirror. While in the past the FLAT type is the only version available thus in the past, there was no choice but use this version : which often has a bagua trigram …

1. Based on your description, I believe the most effective solution would be to plant another tree. If this new tree has sufficient height, it can effectively block the direct line of sight from the building across the way, addressing your concerns. 2. It would be wise to consult with a local florist regarding tree options that do not possess the shallow root system characteristic of maple trees. 3. I maintain that the aforementioned solution remains the most optimal choice. 4. Given your experience with maple leaves, it seems you reside in a region with four distinct seasons. In contrast, Singapore, located near the equator, features popular plants such as…

Dear Anon, 1. For a threat towards the interior of the home: If one looks out of the window, one should not see a lone tree slicing thru the window. If so, a simple day curtain to screen or a blind would be useful. 2. Yin and Yang concept: Often, a large tree is not advisable especially if it has lots of branches and leaves. The rationale here is that, because of the tree, what is underneath the tree becomes `dark' i.e. no sunlight penetrate thru. And it is because of this; that we consider the location or area `yin'. Too yin, or darked area, is not really too good. 3. Often, it is said that spirits (or for those who believe in spirits); a spirit may harbour or hide ins…

Dear Anon, I hope that I have taken a better picture of the old bungalow built in the 1920's. To view the pictures and the comments made, please go to the conference: Photo Tours. Look for the message Revisited: The old bungalow house built in 1920s Hope the above helps. Warmest Regards, Cecil

There is a tall tree on the street in front of our new rental entrance. It's about 20feet away. Any remedies I need for this or is it far enough away from door?

Dear Anon, Thanks for bring this up. Water plays an important part in Feng Shui:- 1. In the past, many buildings are built on the Ming Tang concept i.e. a pool (not stagnant) at the frontage of the building. It is a semi-circular shaped, with the the semi-circle radiating away from the frontage of the building. 2. Water is an excellent choice because with water position, it implies that there is clear space. This works well with the Four Symbolic Animals concept where the frontage of the house should have clear space or like a `bird' flying freely in-front. 3. Water is equally used in Feng Shui e.g. fountains are said to be good Qi enhancers or it creats beneficial Qi. Bu…
