Greetings Master Lee, Regarding drain pipes where is the best place for the drainage to go? Out the water area?

Hi, Am looking at changing my Main Door. Currently they are 2 equal sized leaf withbeach leaf being less than 1m width. We usually opens only 1 leaf and find that leaf being a little too narrow. I was thinking to replace it with unequal sized 2 leaf door. i.e. Wider side (at least 1m in width) for frequent use. However, my friend mentioned 2 different sized leaf main door creates inequality in gender or something. Can you advise? Thank you.

Greetings and good wishes to all. My kua number is 8 (west group) and husband is 1 (east group).

Dear Steven, 1. Thanks very much for the information and most of us will look forward for the future phots of the antic bells. 2. There are quite alot of `inventions' or `cures' or enhancers in the market. Overall, I believe bells are near eqivalent of wind chimes as they make noise. Some Feng Shui practitioners prefer the use of grandfather (or pendulum) clocks as it makes a constant `tine' or tick tock metal sound. 3. In Hong Kong, some practitioners or manufacturers also come up with things like Qi detector. Once again, many thanks:) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Good day Master, I have a few questions to seek your advise. 1. My home has "two" entrances. Based on feng shui, which one should be consider my "entrance" 2. At the first main entrance, my main door is partially blocked by my neighbour home. What should I do to make more Sheng Qi ? I understood that right angle from the wall causes Sha Qi? In this case, my neighbour home has a 90deg wall pointing at my entrance. 3. From my living room, i can see opposite block roof corner. What is good to fix this Sha Qi? I've attached picture for your help Master. Thanks a million.

Hi, Master Lee, I read about your reply a number of years back to a query re the auspicious number of steps. I'm not sure if the total number of steps we have at home is auspicious or not. We have a 3-storey house. From ground floor to the second floor including the landing is 14steps and another 14 steps from second floor to third floor ( also including the landing ). That's a total of 28 steps. Is that number auspicious? Any remedies, if not? Thank you so much, Master Lee! Here's hoping to hear from you soon. Sincerely yours, Jona

Hello Master, I'm looking to purchase a new home and came across this property and wanted some advice on if this will be an auspicious home to buy? I have asked several people with conflicting advice. Some say the water in the back of the home is not good Feng Shui but I've also read that if there's a water view in front, this could be consider the frontage? There are mountains on both side in the distance and the ocean is about 5 mins away driving. The river in the back/front of the home actually flows into the ocean. If I bought and remodel this house for period 9, should I have the auspicious double 9 facing the river or the other way around? It is the home…

Hi Cecil, Thanks again for continuing to provide such a great resource. I hope this question is general enough. I've read that a bathroom near an entry door is considered less desirable for feng shui. However, a common use case in some parts of the world is to have a bathroom and laundry room close to a side/back entry to clean up and change clothes in before entering the living areas of the home, e.g. after yard/garden/woodworking/farm/automobile work, or to have easy access to a bathroom while working on these kinds of projects. This prevents mud, leaves, sawdust, engine oil, etc from being tracked into the living areas of the home. How would you bal…

I am staying in a HDB corridor unit. Can any master advise me if I can place a half curtain at the main door entrance to have more privacy (similiar to the one at my room) ? Is there any fengshui concerns ? Many thanks.

Hi Master, I stay in a private property and would like to keep 2 fish tanks in my bedroom as there is simply no space in the living room. I am single and stay alone. Don’t really mind the sound of pumps and fishes 1. Is it really a no no to keep fish tanks in my bedroom? 2. If I would like to keep two smaller fish tanks in the room, what is the best place? Thank you so much. Regards, John

Dear Master, I'm currently renting a condo which is on the slope of Loyang valley. To get to the main door of my unit, one has to first climb up a flight of about 6 steps and down 2 flights of stairs (13 steps followed by about 4 steps). The long stairs leads straight to the main door. Main door faces the stairs coming down. It faces Northwest (looking out). Inside the unit, the main door opens directly to an open terrace which is the back of the house. This terrace (looking out) faces SE 127'. This terrace leads to the back garden and onwards to the rest of the valley (pool and other units). So the whole condo is built in a circle, around the side of the valley. T…

Hi Master, I would like to seek your advise in the placement for the altar at my new home. The place I have in mind is the one positioned at A, and would like to seek your advice if it's possible. I am only intending to put a Buddha figurine. Look forward to your advice and thank you.

Hi, i was running a report report on a house number on a property I want to purchase. The house number is 11800 and it was build in the 90’s and remodeled (roof shingle replacement, flooring, etc) this year. The report using the two periods are drastically different. Can you tell me if that changes anything with the remodel? And is house number a big deal? Or would I rather consider other major factors? Daisy

Dear Steven, I believe that there are several `factors' to consider: 1. It depends on the space in the home. Some homes are small or as small as studio apartments especially those in Hong Kong. Thus, it is difficult to find a good location for an altar. 2. And if the family insists on an altar, then, it is best to come to a general consensus on this within the family. 3. Where possible, if we can, this should be avoided but based on some of the above considerations. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hello, I am in the process of buying a new home and I think I picked a bad house lot. I still have time to change it, so can you help me pick the better one? The land marked in red that says “MINE” is the lot I picked. The only bad thing about this one is the house number is 4009. I read that 4 means death and 9 means forever (death forever). If you add 4+9 you get 13 which is unlucky in western culture but lucky in China. 1 + 3 equals 4 which means death again. The direction is southeast which is a lucky direction for my husband and I. I am the year of the sheep (1991) and he is the year of the rabbit (1987). I read that our lucky directions are East, Sou…

Hello, I am a trainee jeweller, who , if truth be told, is struggling to go forward with my skill learning. I love learning about all aspects of becoming a jeweller but I am finding that I am getting stuck by my lack of ability, which in turn, holds me back from improving. Is there a solution that I can put in place in my house or possibly in my workplace studiov? Thank you
