Dear Long Le, I have posted photos of money plants under the conference: Photo Tours of Interest (with Pictures). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Grateful if you can further elaborate on the extension. For example is it an `external' extension for a car park or an internal one. If internal, what is it used for. In addition, anyone who is familiar with the history of the house. This is because, beside the new extension, we could perhaps, `back-track' to see if any events match the flying star of the period. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, The first thing that strikes my mind when I read was message is the Lotus seed plant which can grow on water. When I have the time we can look at this topic of `water plants'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Daniel, I have posted a simple diagram showing the head facing a good direction under the conference: Photo Tours with interest. Please check out the picture in that conference. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1:3 is equal to 33.33%. This is a reasonable Feng Shui figure. (please see below) The above is a good guideline. It is used widely in the forum and it should be a good guage when applied to doors and windows. Other "applications" include the advice given if the missing area is 33.3 percent or more, this is considered a missing corner. More examples can be found in messages under this forum. I usually term it the 33.3 percent Ruleset. Warmest Regards, Cecil

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

Dear Anon, 1. The reason why some FS Practitioners say to palce it in the good sector is so that when it rings, it is suppose to bring `good luck'. Unfortunately, there are others who have the view point that the `ringing' at a good sector `chase' away good luck. 2. Some on the other hand advise to place as what you had mentioned, West and NW because these are metal element sectors. To these practitioners, they `feel' that as the West and NW are metal element sectors, one should enhance the metal element with `rining' tones as to them the ringing tone is metal element. Similarly, to these FS practitioners wind chimes and even clocks with pendulum serves this purpose. 3. …

Dear Anon, Usually, from what I have encountered, this should not pose a problem. Especially if one only rents a bedroom. There is not much choice here. The only thing to remember is to conceptally "departmentalise" the bedroom i.e. keep the scultures at a corner or if really no space on a display shelf or at a corner table or even share it with the study table. We have to be practical as not all situations can be overcomed... our love of the sculpture and space constraints. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear JL, 1. The main purpose of all Feng Shui theories is to correct imbalances in the Five elements. 2. Under the Flying Star School of Feng Shui, for example if there is an imbalance e.g. a Sickness (2) star and a Misfortune (5) star. If the location happens to be the bedroom, one has thus to cure the imbalance e.g. placing 6 coins at that sector to cure it. Here, an imbalance is `calculated' and thus a remedy is used to neutralise the imbalance. 3. Many a times, when one usually fall sick, the above would most likely be the cause. Here, we take action to cure it for a specific reason. Being healthy afterwards, can be indirectly related to `fertility'. 4. Many Feng Shu…

Dear Felicia, Frankly, under Feng Shui (Pillars of Destiny) there is no direct application to improve one's relationship. This is because the closes concepts is based on Pillars of Destiny (Ba Zhi). However, Ba Zhi has an `escape clause' which says that it can map out one's Heaven map e.g. of a person and his/her luck. However, our education, parents influence, our experiences can change our heaven's luck. In my opinion, it is better to use other `educational' techniques or behaviour model e.g. child psychology etc... For now, the closest I believe Pillars of Destiny can help is to do a Pillars of Comparison Chart to find the binding elements of two parties. This module…

Dear Anon, So far, I do not believe that anyone has painted their walls black. Black creates a dark environment. Contrast this with a white wash house that looks bright and clean. Therefore, there is some truth in the statement. Applying the 33.3 percent ruleset, other black objects or items should not be an issue here. For example, IBM products are all black. Their excellent IBM thinkpad notebook PCs, some high end PCs are all encased in black. Robert and myself, do use these black machines without cause for concern. Overall, one can also apply the 33.3 percent ruleset where less than 33.3 percent is not going to affect a person. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Usually, the advise is to "go slow" with Feng Shui. It has also to do with what is the level of Feng Shui one is prepared to go into? The quickest way (but cost money) is to go for a Full Feng Shui audit by a competent FS practitioner. Else, if one wants to `learn' (learning is not good enough) but rather applying Feng Shui, one has to spent time and effort like any other disciplines. Like I mentioned, there are lots of resources available both e.g. in this website. Starting point: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/theory.htm or get yourself books on Feng Shui. For calculation under the Eight House, I recommend you spent sometime to browse through http://www.geomancy…

Dear Anon, If one frequently falls sick in a home. Most likely if one does a Flying Star analysis, the `evil' 2 (sickness) or 5 misfortune star is at the location e.g. the bedroom. The proper Feng Shui tools should be used correctly to analyse or fine tune the situation. " What you see is not what I see ". Under the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui, each of us have different levels of understanding. Some of us see nothing at all while others can pin point to the problem. One excellent example was what Evelyn Lip mentioned in one of her books. (Credit goes to her for this) I believe she brought out an example of an owner of the house, who faced difficulties with the hom…

Dear Anon, Recently, there are quite alot of discussions on statues and objects. For those who have been in this forum for quite sometime will know that I am going to say that this is related to Chinese beliefs. Some may not even be Chinese beliefs but believes of various people or simply decorative art works. The most common statues found outside Chinese buildings or homes are a pair of lions on each side of the main entrance. It is common to find these statues nearly everywhere. It can be at the main entrance of a restaurant or at the stairs leading to the restaurant. It is found outside Chinese shops and buildings. If one looks at the statute carefully, it is standing …

Dear Anon, 1. A recent message has provided the colours for all the various elements. Reference url: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/colours.htm 2. Overall, one must remember that colours is secondary to Feng Shui. 3. Although it is quite important, but I have to emphasise that it is second to other more important points. For example, if one's house has a toilet at the centre of the house. The most likely effect is a drain in finances or problems with `retaining money.' 4. Other bad Feng Shui include a poison arrow aimed at the main entrance of the house. 5. More scary ones include the description of recent house where death will occur twice (I believe this is shown under th…

Dear Chew Chin, For a beginner of Feng Shui, the easiest to `pick' up is the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui and the Compass School: Eight House Theory. For advanced audits, Flying Star Theory is used to determine the birth chart of the house. Pillars of destiny: element strength and season of influence is used especially to understand a `bigger picture' and to further analyse the various cures/enhancements and its effect on the individual. For those who do not have the patience or do not want the hassle of reading endlessly about Feng Shui can get a professional help from FS practitioners. Please see below:- I believe that you are very new to Feng Shui. It is be…

Dear Anon, Members of www.geomancy-online.com can make use of the Pillars of Comparison module to check the relationship of two parties. You can check out the various combinations. For example:- Compare Husband and son Husband and daughter son and daughter Wife and daughter Wife and son etc... It would be interesting to do so:) This is to take advantage of the computing power to analyse in detail the various relationships, clashes etc.. of true tradtional Pillars of Destiny. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, The correct colours are reflected under this URL: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/colours.htm The following are the correct representation of the various elements/colours:- Water = Blue, Black, grey. Metal = White or Gold Wood = Green or Brown Fire = Red, purple, pink Earth = Yellow Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. One view point is based on the symbolism of the two symbols: Circle represents the Metal element Triangle represents the Fire element. Under the destructive cycle: Fire destroys Metal. One interpretation of wealth creation is where if Fire is strong, it can destroy Metal to create wealth. 2. However, since the metal is surrounded by Fire, another point of view is that Fire is used to control metal element. Under Para 1, it is `wealth' creation. While under Para 2, it is used as a controlling element. For example, when we use 6 coins to represent Big Metal, it is good to use Red string to control the metal element. (Where Red represents the Fire element). The…

Dear Anon, 1. Ideally, good buildings have the `water' facilities away from the offices. Here, pumbing can be concentrated at the corner of a building i.e. the pantry area, the toilets (both male and female). 2. Since most of us are not going to spent so much time at the toilet area, the male and female toilets can still be next to each other. Usually, the centre area or a walkway for maintenance (housing the pumbing) for both toilets) is between the male and female toilet. 3. No matter how, the above is still a better choice rather than the toilet in the middle or at one location where it does not at least share one external wall. Here, some office main entrances may b…

Dear Anon, Sorry, can you clarify what you mean. Anyway, the page for the site has undergone a revamp. Warmest Regards, Cecil
