We will move to have a favorable east bedroom for him with an eastwall for the bed so that his head can face east. I have also found that his best colors are blue/gray and black. Even though he doesn't like them I will paint his bedroom in these colors. In addition, I will make sure all other rooms will also accommodate him being an "East" person and "strongmetal". Never mind me, I am his complete opposit and the apartment we live in is perfect for me. In search for cures I have had no luck, now I am even more confused with all the "stars" "elements" "numbers" etc. So the best and easiest way to satisfy my husband is to move to a home where the basic directions are good …

I am looking for some simple cures (either with colors or placement of some objects) for relationship with the mgmt/bosses and smooth flow of daily work. My boss's boss is under stress and I happened to say something that touched him off. To say the least, I am in the dog house with him when it used to be a very positive relationship. What can I remedy to create a better flow and communitcation with the boss/mgmt.

Dear Cecil, (sorry.. if this seems to appear again, i seem to have problem posting this) Thanks alot for your help on the kitchen! Really appreciate that! I have a few more questions which I need some help on: 1. DiningTable - (please see attached picture A) If our dining table is not placeddirectly in front of the main door of the house but sort of on the diagonal side of the wall, is there a problem with it?

Hi Cecil, Due to my compressed kitchen, I have no choice but to position my stove(with theknob)facing the Main Door (with a brick wall in between that separates my living and kitchen area). Since there is a brick wall that prevent a person standing at the main door to looking directly to the stove, is this position acceptable in feng shui ? If not, how do I overcome it without movingand changingmy stove ? thank you.

Dear Cecil, Thanks for being a wonderfully helpful guy that you are! Really appreciate your patience! I do have a few more questions with regards to my master bedroom and my balcony (because of this taiwanese fengshui show that brings up alot of scary stuff). First of all, Balcony. It seems that the balcony is supposed to be the career area of the owners of a house (or something like that), thus one should not make changes to the balcony (or sorts). Question: However (please see diagram below), since ours has kinda been removed into a living room extension cum cosy corner of sorts, is there a problem then? What rectification can we do? Should one really usually…
