General Help

Hi there, am a semi intermediate feng shui experimenter myself and though i may not be a 'Master' , such as Cecil, I might be of some help. I've watched quite a few feng shui videos and tried quite a few things. Cecil is quite right in saying that the BTB Feng shui is absolute rubbish (N = career, etc). I tried it for a year and it made me quite ill and ruined my life (in a nutshell). If you want help rectifying your fame and reputation, Your bathroom is considered to be where the reputation is. Make sure that is clean and looks good. remove plants and make sure it has generally good feng shui, (no feng shui trinkets however as these backfire, in my personal experience) (…

1. Please do a search for "Fish Tank" to find out what was it's original purpose ... e.g. outside a window... a tree trunk or lamp post.. 2. You wrote: "From what you have said (please correct me if I am wrong) I can place an aquarium in this location without any worries of activating the MS3 ? If the MS3 is of concern how can I remedy the situation so everything would be more favorable?" 2.1. Please re-read what I wrote. 2.1.1 All my points refers to: A. Either a pool or pond. (Nothing mentioned about aquarium.) B. Refer to Para 7. which I had written under my first reply.

The altar facing is similar in nature to the stove. Thus, you should instead be standing at A facing X as the direction. As to the NE or SW, best that the altar is not located at the NE or SW sector of the home; where possible.

Note: For those who are not aware, " wu kwei " means Five Ghosts Dear Leslie, The Eight House Theory with the four auspicious and four inauspicious intangible forces is meant only for finding a suitable house, facing direction and sleeping direction. It can tell whether the location is auspicious and inauspicious but cannot be used for `fine tuning' as it is not directly `linked' to the five elements concept. Other Feng Shui theories like the Flying Star, Pillars of Destiny takes into account the five elements concept and thus these are used instead to check for a balance or if there is an imbalance of the five elements at a specific location, one can `correct' this. M…

In my opinion, there are know circumstances where digging works were outside of the house but at the specific Five Yellow sector in that year. There were some instances where it had also affected the health of the people staying in that house even if the digging was done 100 metres away. I personally feel that best always to be more on the cautious or conservative side. If one is damn unlucky then, there is no reverse on this. Furthermore, around 7 to 8 weeks more; five yellow will go to South-East and Grand Duke will go to east-south-east at 120 degrees...

Dear Ber, In general, it is OK to plant a few pot of plants. For plants that flower, after you place the plant do " monitor " the plant to see if it flowers. If it does, generally, this is auspicious. Potted plants are quite safe:- 1. If you do not have many but a few e.g. two or three is acceptable. 2. In a pot, they cannot grow `wildy' or grow too large. This is good. 3. Bamboo plants are acceptable also. Again in a very general sense, if you have a few pot of plants placed moderately, this is OK. 4. Do not plant them directly `cutting' the main entrance door is fine. Placing them around the house is OK. At the West, avoid large trees or untrimmed tree…

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!

Hi Anon, Yes, however, Gua is the proper Chinese (rather than Kua which is based on Cantonese Dialect, just like Qi = C'hi) So how can Gua 9 numbers be equal to represent 8 Trigrams? There is no way so that is why the Gua Number itself does not yet equal to the 8 Trigram. Especially not the Gua number 5. Thus, the number 5 is often converted to represent one of the other two Trigram depending on Male or Female. Since the Eight Trigram is used or part of the Compass School (ie quite related to the Flying Stars) except that the center sector is empty. Thus, We relate the Trigam exactly as how it would link to the Flying Star. Eight House and Flying Star are part of …

Hi, Feng Shui is a wide topic, with many different western translators providing many different terms for a same topic. I believe if you are referring to balance, it should be more towards the Five Elements or at least Yin or Yang. Basically, for Five Elements, when you have one of each of the five elements you are supposed to be in a stated of balance which is "neutral". Five Element is very special, on the under the production principle:- Production Metal -> Water -> Wood -> Fire -> Earth -> Metal At the same time, when you have all Five Elements the destruction principle:- Metal -> Wood -> Earth -> Water -> Fire -> Metal It is a very speci…

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…

How, one would have wished that the walls can whisper and give one the answers... But theset of 3 x questions under this thread belongs to such a category:- Feng Shui Triage Proper trouble-shooting is required. Any short cuts? YES: Flip or toss the coin: HEADS OR TAILS? There goes part of the answer?

Wow I'm glad Kevin has added on to my thread, I'm learning a lot more. So even if the verdict is that it's a lesser devil to place the main door at S1, there's is no harm to have a water feature on SW to activate the indirect spirit right? My reason is - if calamity is going to fall on you anyway,you might aswell have somefinancial luck to cushion the bad luck coming. What do you think Master? Regards.

Dear Jen, Yes, under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, the preferred locations are shown in the attachment. In my opinion, it is still acceptable at West/SW/NW. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Okey, It is clear, excuses for the confusion.My intentions where good, I was honest about something I doubted, i hope u understand. Geomancy.net is the best communityI everfaced in my life, for cultural Identity directions that can be apllied in life.The layer of awarenes that implicates a certain basefor people to functionat full potential, is being activated once people areinformed of the feng shui theories.That is allI can sayas an Art student. once again Best regards andgood luck!

Thank you Master. I shall move on to aReal Estate/Property career.

Dear Chee Kheong, It is a strong consideration to move the stove. Since we are just going by description, it is good for you to see the feasibility of this inconsideration with: 1. in the new position, where best the stove does not face the toilet bowl or basin 2. hopefully the new position does not clash with the wash basin or 3. is there a secure solid wall behind the stove 4. how about windy days? Does the postion allow fire to "move-around" or forced-out of the front ... which may cause hurt to the body etc... The above are also some of the considerations before implementing any change. I can only think of the above for now. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Kunta Kinte? Remembered watching the show when i was studying...:-) Maybe we are from the 70's era...

I would rather not change the color. I like the dramatic effect it has on the room. So far I have done two things; I changed the painting above the mantel to one with boats on a lake with mainly blue tones and touches of yellow, and I put a plant that trails from the mantel to the floor in a blue pot. My money situation neutralized immediately. I was considering putting a mirror above the mantel and a piece of brass at the top of the opening to keep smoke from pouring into the room (a problem I've had in the past). These are strictly esthetic changes. I would like my money situation to improve even more. Any other suggestions?

1. These are my reflections on the matter: once a person has been cremated, everything changes and becomes neutral. 2. For instance, when a person is buried, the Chinese believe it is very auspicious to bury them in a favorable location and facing a certain direction. It is believed that a good burial site and good Feng Shui can bring luck to future generations of the family. 3. Therefore, this is likely why most people advise against prematurely removing the coffin and cremating a loved one unless there is no other choice. 4. Historically, many burial sites were indeed very auspicious. Well-known auspicious burial sites include the current Orchard MRT grou…

Dear Toni, Thanks for your prompt reply. Since the religion is predominantly Christian, in general, even if there are spirits, usually they are quite harmless. First of all, avoid any metallic wind chimes or any metallic fliers or anything that makes metallic sound. Keep the room bright and introduce a more Yang environment:- 1. In terms of interior decor, use bright colours. Avoid dark colours. 2. Avoid having ceramic vases or any display items e.g. wood scuptures etc... 3. It is good if the office can have some music e.g. soothing sounds or even tune in to offical radio channels to increase the Yang element. 4. Ideally, your partner element strength should be " Strong "…

These are some considerations: 1. In my opinion, it is not practical to comment on a pure black and white (flat surface) outline. 2. As there are many serious considerations: 2.1. So what if it is facing a "river". 2.2 As if I am not mistaken, in a highly populated area(s) many rivers MAY not support life. Thus, is the river you mentioned full of "live" or full of those smelly pollutants or even raw sewerage? This outweighs any other considerations be it within or end of a jade belt etc.... 2.3 The terrain of your home vis-?-vis neighbourhood built ups and inclusive of drainage from the property + your property in relation to service road(s) or even cul-de-sac etc... 3. …
