General Help

Dear Darlene, It would be `difficult' for me to reply to the question of a question on a `CORNER' and provide a `fixed' answer to it. This would mean the forum would end out no better than a non-tradtional Feng Shui forum and become more like a FIXED TEMPLATE Feng Shui forum. In my opinion, fixed template Feng Shui is nothing more than a `con' job in trying to provide "advice". It is never wise to pay homage to a `corner' or simply look at corners. *JOKE* It also reminds one of wearing a DUNCE hat and asked to stand at the corner. There are more that real Feng Shui offers to many rather than the above. I have provided many examples and caricatures on the `effects' of corn…

I am currently thinking about decorating my room but I am not sure what type of plant I should use

Dear Daniel, In open living, ideally, (under Feng Shui conditions) there is still some `partitioning'. It may not be a full wall. It can be something like an eating or storage counter separating the cooking area from the living room. In the living room, the act of placing furniture to segregate the living room from other locations is as effective as using walls. Therefore, there is really no issue here. For an `L' shaped room even if it is an open space can effectively be segregated into two whole rectangles. This is a better FS configuration that leaving the house as an `L' shaped. (This is based on Shapes and Form Feng Shui.) Warmest Regards, Cecil Lee

Dear Max, Usually, there is no issue of a wooden door (stained in any of the wood grain colour i.e. walnut, rosewood, teak etc...) But if the main entrance is under some threat, then it would depend on what type of threat. Since there are so many different types of threat, it is difficult to give you all the answers. But, here, it is best to determine what element the threat comes from. And use a controlling element to control it. (If possible). Warmest Regards, Cecil

How is the fengshui for this layout? What will happen if the living room is directly facing the fire station?

Dear Anon, 1. I like to clarify that in my opinion, the main "drawback" is related to the full glass facade on the `facing' side of each apartment. 2. In my opinion, this is `radical' design where, full height glass is used for e.g. the living room, bedrooms and even for the master bedroom. 3. The major `flaw' in my opinion is the lift up glass windows. This is similar in concept like those found at toilets. I would rather prefer the use of sliding windows or better, windows that open (under the normal way). This `flaw' together with the full height glass window, I believe is not ideal for a home (especially since it is near the equator) and it is not practical to turn on…

Generally, the safe colour to use for all rooms where a full flying star analysis isn't considered is always to use very light (near to off-white or white) colours. This colour will be able to neturalise any inauspicious Wood or Earth star under the flying star. In order to enhance your luck (be i…

Further to what I had mentioned, one of the options is to place a low height "linen" cabinet" at the foot of the bed. See attachment.

Dear Anon, Frankly, Feng Shui is by no means a mircle care to all problems. Your problem if any is what we would classify as a Human Luck factor. Particularly, if you lost your job to due to your attitude. Then probably the best thing you can do is to correct or improve your attitude. I don't think no amount of feng shui can help you here. It is always important to find the root cause to any problem. If you know what is the root cause, then work to correct it. Otherwise, even if you find another job, you might stilllose it the same way you lost the other. You see even if a person's luck isn't good in a period, but if he/she has good overall human luck (ie very hardw…

Dear Hoa, Traditionally, it should be based on the Chinese Lunar Calendar i.e. 7 February 2008. Warmest Regards, Cecil Lee Quote: Hoa L. wrote: When does my house fengshui for year 2008 begin? on Jan 1 of the western calendar or Jan 1 of the chinese calendar?

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I was born in Asia but i moved to somewhere else and the times are different. Should i apply the dates found in the Auspicous dates finder according to the time and date of the place i am living in right now or the time and date of the place i was born in (so a day might start at 1 pm here, if it is midnight where i was born) I'm confused because all the ba zi reading and auspicous dates are connected with my date of birth, but since as i moved, the date and time of the place is different, but it doesn't mean i lived more or less than i would have lived if i stayed where i was born. Thank you Actually, the problem is that the more you want to…

1. Further to what I had mentioned, even the country with one of the largest population and the country where all Chinese come from celebrates Chinese New Year from 14 Febto 16 Feb: TheSpring Festival. http://www.worldtravelguide.net/country/58/public_holidays/Far-East-Asia/China.html 2. From the above link, the mother of all Chinese culture also uses purely the Lunar calendar and not Xia (Hsia - seasonal) calendar. 4 February 2010 is no where to be found although it is Xia calendar's Start of Spring. 3. In fact, Taiwan, which has the largest pool of Chinese outside of China does not even consider 4th February anywhere in their calendar as a holiday. Taiwan has the lo…

Hi Anon, Quote: I'd like to find out when is the Qing Ming festival in year 2006. Does Qing Ming always start and end on the same Lunar Calendar dates every year? The start of Qing Ming Festival is always on 4th / 5th / 6th Apr (Western Calendar). Some modern people will start Qing Ming as early as two weeks before, whereas most people will do it within the month of Qing Ming. It can last for as long as 1 month. As such there is no fixed date for the end of the Qing Ming. Start of Qing Ming for 2006 is 5 Apr 2006. Hope that helps.

Dear Anon, 1. The worst senario is where the front door meets the balcony or there is a direct path from the main door (exiting) towards a window, or balcony. However, this is easy to solve as most of us are aware, to place a screen or close the side of the balcony glass facing directly the door. 2. For the case of the bedroom door facing the main door, this is less auspicious than Para 1. You can still close the bedroom door when the main door is open. (I can understand the problem of placing a screen here). It is still best to use a screen if the main entrance door is next to a wall. This is an ideal situation for placement of a screen. But if the main entrance opens to…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Based on a couple's birth details, is it possible to tell whether a particular year is a good year for them to purchase a new house, property? The ba zi can only tell you what luck you are supposed to enjoy in any particular time and period. This is often used to check whether it is a good date, good month, good year etc. So you can make use of it as a guide whether this is a good or bad year to own a property etc. However, purchasing a home is only one aspect. Finding a good hosue that fits the family and has good overall feng shui luck is more important. This is because the house luck can adversely influence your ba zi given luck. Thus, fi…

Dear Ben, Yes, if it is a Ba Gua mirrior, it is indeed octagon shape and not round. But, the one that is normally used for your rental home, should be red/green in colour - (usually with a flat mirror). Alternatively, try to get one with the ba gua mirror and the picture with a door god below it. For the time being, you can use a circular mirror. The best time to hang the mirror is:- 1st choice - the 1st day of any lunar month. (Preferably on any months other than the 7th lunar month). The good dates to hang the Ba Gua mirror is:- January 27, 2002 - 12th Lunar Month The 1st of each Lunar Month is also considered a good date to hang it. Alternatively, a more personalised …
