Dear Anthony, 1. Earth predominantly gives off sickness Qi. This is why #2 and #5 are predominantly bad earth elements. 2. If we look at a Chinese luo pan, we will notice that the outer shell is a rectangle. 3. While the inner is a rotating circle metal piece. As many of u know, circle represents Metal element. 4. A luo pan consists of: Outer square piece represented by the earth Inner metallic dial represented by Heaven. 5. In many of the cures, we therefore, see that Heaven Qi or Heaven Metal Qi is used to neutralise bad earth elements. 6. Therefore, metal, is the chief ingredient. Please see below:- To be effective:- 1. It must not those `play, play' type with so…

Dear Melanie, In my opinion, there is really not much one can do in such a situation. Usually, (but may not be feasible) in your case is the use of false ceiling or a poster bed with cloth covers over the top of the bed. Since this option may not be available, hanging a crystal, may make one `feel good' but thats all it can do. In traditional FS, besides this situation, one uses e.g. the Flying Star to analyse and if there are any imbalances, neutralise it to lessen any effects in the sector.

Dear Anon, In traditional Feng Shui, here are the following considerations for the main entrance door:- 1. It is not advisable to have an opened window above the main entrance door. 2. A proper main entrance door should be `solid' and Qi should not be made to come in above the window above the main entrance door. 3. In such a situation, the remedy is quite simple i.e. not to open the window above the main entrance. 4. Some FS Masters would even argue that under the "commonsence approach", a window e.g. without grilles could easily invite a thief to drop by. Although this is not Feng Shui but this is one reason given by some FS Masters. Other considerations: The main door …

Dear Anon, This is a very good question. Generally, in my opinion, this is very common in the West. Especially, if there is a "lovely" bay-window just behind the bed-head. But locally in Singapore, this is often not a good idea for the following reasons. And these reasons are often "common-sense". In Singapore, majority of the homes are apartments (flats) or high-rise and it is often not too good an idea to have the bed-head against the window:- 1. Unfriendly neighbours! There are occassions where inconsiderate neighbours throw out cigarette butts and sometimes it may fall down into an open window. And if are beds are close to or next to the window, there can be a p…

One day, a man was `furiously' thinking of the `cleanest' way to get rid of his wife. (He was having an affair and his mistress had gave him a `dateline' to get rid of his wife.) The man thought of nearly everything but felt that he would most likely be the suspect! He truly wanted to plan and execute a `perfect crime'. He nearly gave up when, one night, he watched the news of how foreign maids often cleaned windows or put out clothings and accidently fall to their death! Oh! He hit on the idea! YES! My current wife fits this profile! She was a housemaker and her moto is " TOO CLEAN ". The man decided to call a friend to pretend to be a "Feng Shui Master". Since his wif…

Dear Evelyn, It is best to look at the overall `Shapes and Form' of the room and the placement of your table and chair. Here, it is best to position the table and chair so that one can immediately see who is coming into the room (room door). Since, you have a half-height wall (for support), this is less of a `problem'. In my opinion, the placement that you have currently is quite acceptable. If you can, you could try to have the blinds or curtains. But this is not a real issue unless, there are poison arrow(s) aimed into the house thru this window. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kaushal, 1. Under Feng Shui, this is considered inauspicious as `beneifical' Qi is suppose to come into the house and meander slowly circulating inside the house and `exit' the home through other openings. 2. Where possible, it should not enter the house e.g. the main entrance and exit out through an opposite window. Here, Qi is not allowed to circulate in the home. 3. The best option is to place a screen close to the main door area to allow the Qi to meander into the house. The screen need not necessarily be of full height. It can be of a lower height where possible it can cover e.g. three-quarters of the door. 4. Another alternative is to close the window which is …

Dear Elaine, In my opinion, I do not see any problems in installing the medium shutter for the windows. 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, As requested please find three favourable situations of bedrooms with windows on various sides of the room (no attached bathrooms) Please wait, file loading...File size = 16.7K All three layout plans: A, B and C are favourable. In the event that the bed faces a toilet door, one can place a side table with a table lamp to act as a `screen' or barrier between the toilet door and the bed.

Dear Evelyn, I strongly belief, there is truth in what you have mentioned. The most important part of a business is the front and this falls under the Shapes and Form School.

Dear Anon, I believe Lillian Too is applying the Eight Associations or Life Aspirations where the NE is the Education sector. The significance of the meaning of this Gua is a "steady progress in meeting targets". Items symbolising earth or fire e.g. crystals, stones, quartz , bright lighting etc.. If one reads the messages both in this forum and the resources materials on this website, you will find that not much emphasis is or was given to this concept. The only response or advice given if users asked whether it is acceptable to place such objects at the locations is a `weak' yes because this is still traditional Feng Shui but in a very broad sense, very generalised FS.…

Dear Deepti, Frankly, I am not too familar or aware of any good Feng Shui practitioner in India. Perhaps, you can try to check your yellow pages and see if there is a Chinese practitioner in your country and find out more if he/she is willing to teach you. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Lynn, Lin Yu wrote: I am wondering if I am a strong metal and don't have water element in my bazi, am I suitable for wood element jobs? Because last time, when I was teaching kids, I tend to get sick easily, is it due to the fact that wood drains water? And I am thinking of going into nursing, but I am a total yin person without any yang elements, do you think that I should do that? I don't want to meet anything from the other world -_-... As a Strong Metal, your favourable elements tends to be Water/Wood/Fire. However, individually depending on your five element percentage, the most favourable elements may vary from person to person. This means that if your water …

Frankly, this is the first time I heard of "weird things" like using wood chips in Feng Shui! If in doubt, always contact the owner who gave you this information. In my opinion, to most of us, it can mean anything under the sky.

These are some considerations:- 1. Although Yin and Yang has existed for some time; Left and Right Brain "persons" are also classified being either Yin or Yang. 2. In addition; in selecting a career; one also has to look into the above cues... 3. For example, in the past, I had mentioned that we have to find out the child's inclination; 4. Here, we should look into the child's traits: some children are more spatial. Some people are more into the arts and humanities while others are more mathematical. 5. For example, a parent may sent a child to MIT, US if he has excellent skills in the mathematical side while a parent may sent a child to another different Ivy league scho…

Hi Hoa Luong, Hoa Luong wrote: My house is SW2/P7. My bedroom is in SW sector (ms4, bs 4, ws1, ys 1). I'd like to change the floor from carpet to wood. I'm having a lawsuit pending. Because of the ms4 and bs4, will this wood floor make my lawsuit situation worse? Generally, there is no issue for the type of flooring. I mean there can only be wood flooring or tiles or carpet. It would be impractical to use other material for bedroom as it might be too cool for even your feet. More important would usually be the colour scheme of the room. The flooring materials are not an issue. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Rese…
