Greetings! I am looking at purchasing a house that is a perfect direction for the breadwinner of the family, however the frontage is in the Death direction for the spouse. WIll this really effect the spouse? Can Death mean transformation or is it truly illness, disease and death? Looking forward to your perspective. Ms Brende

There seems to be a discrepancy on which way to take the compass reading in order to get the facing palace and exact direction to plot natal flying stars. Some say, take it at the front door in the threshold, while others say you need to take the direction from the center of the home. If taking the direction from the center of the home is accurate, why would anybody angle their door to change the incoming direction? Please clarify which os most accurate and why. Thanks

But when walking along the corridor leading to the main door of the flat, can see the back of a cremetorium and a temple. However, can't really see these 2 buildings from inside the flat. Also, I would like to know if it would be a cause for concern if the masterbed room and another bedroom is rather near the corridor of the next block of flats. As I need to reply the owner soon, would appreciate a prompt reply. Generally, if you can directly see a crematorium or temple/church/mosque from your house, it tends to be a major concern for many buyers, whether for personal, cultur…

Dear Emily, Please see below:- 1. Honestly, this really isn’t a problem. 2. When you take over a new house or apartment, you’re not considered fully moved in yet. 3. And yes, it’s quite unrealistic to leave a wall or flooring completely untouched. It’s not practical at all – and it does feel a bit silly to try! 4. This is why choosing auspicious dates is another key success factor in Feng Shui. 5. The two most important dates are: 5.1. Picking a good date to start renovations. 5.2. Choosing the date for moving in. 6. Once an auspicious date for starting renovations is selected, the contractor can begin work even in the Tai Sui …

1. Yes, it is just an expression. 2. Fu Lu Shou is not meant to be “prayed to”. Symbolically, it should be placed facing wherever people usually sit. So, if you often sit in the living room, ideally it should be facing you. It is also very common to place it on a table that faces the dining table. 3. It is best to place it in the living room. If you put it in the dining area instead, the table it sits on should preferably be around 49 inches to not more than 50 inches tall (this comes from the auspicious measurements on the Feng Shui ruler). If the table holding Fu Lu Shou is too low, it’s like, when we eat, these deities are “salivating” over our food... 4…

Thank you very much.

Dear Hoa Luong, Hoa Luong wrote: According to the house hunting report for P8, both E1 and W2/3 have double 8s at the front door facing, but E1 is better suited for me than W2/3 house. This tells me that from a front door facing fengshui standpoint, the bazi element is more important than the 8-house suitability. Am I correct? Actually, flying star analysis of the main door will be most important in the house hunting, followed by Ba Zi, than followed by Eight House. Reason being is that Eight House is based on YEAR of birth, whereas ba zi uses even time of birth to analyse. Often, it is ideal to get a direction which both Eight House and Ba Zi element are favourable. F…

Dear Anon, Based on Flying Star Feng Shui, currently many homes that usually have NE or SW facing and that are Period 8 homes should enjoy better Feng Shui or earth luck. As to the perfect home, one chief concern is the external shapes and forms. As this has a great influence on the home. In addition, it is good that the home or apartment should if possible not be affected too much by direct sunlight. For example, we should avoid homes with critical areas "bathed" by the afternoon sun - especially if it is a wall "soaking in the" afternoon sun e.g. master bedroom wall or children's bedroom; living room etc... Such h…

Dear Anon, 1. It’s quite common, even here in Singapore, for some Feng Shui practitioners to talk about the idea of a “wealth corner.” 2. Honestly, this is something many consumers like to hear. And plenty of Feng Shui practitioners are happy to share the idea. If it brings comfort or joy to the consumer, these practitioners generally feel that there’s no harm in it. 3. In fact, during many of my local Feng Shui audits, about eight out of ten clients ask me after the session where their wealth corner is. 4. As mentioned, many Feng Shui practitioners here will, based on their own concepts or interpretations, try to convince homeowners that their wealth …

Dear Mr Cecil, We did use your awesome services for Home Audit (2006) and Selection of Baby Name (2007). Now, we're going to do renovation, we want to install the mirror facing dining table. It's actually mirror door for the cabinet. Would you please advice on these followings: 1. Should I install full length from floor to ceiling if need to reflect the full human body (not being cut on the neck or legs)? However, it'll be quite heavy for the door with such a big panel (min measurement 60 x 290 cm). Or can I just have the height of human size (60 x 180 cm)? which parts of body MUST be reflected i…

1. Please refer to my most recent comments under this topic: Identify Period Of House Posted in: Earth Luck :: Flying Star (Xuan Kong) House Posted on: Sun, 02 Nov 2008, 21:46 PM, 2. The above message highlights two major Arguments and my comment is that if necessary, one may need to consider drawing several Flying Star charts for such a home. Frankly, this is the most sensible approach which is adopted by many competent practitioners.

Feng Shui of Ecopolitan: By Ranking of stacks of just Five (5) stacks :#06, #7, #10, #11 & #26 This is a situation where there are only five (5) stacks that one is interested in, but it is not clear which of these five is better. In such a situation, the breadwinner’s best eight sectors are compared for each stack, and a weighting and analysis are done for each sector. If the result for a sector is good, it is shown in blue. If a sector does not match the breadwinner’s, it is shown in red and considered as “Not a major issue” or “Can be disarmed.”

Hello, I need help to Feng Shui my home with out the use of expensive cures. I agree with you that modern day cures and the amount you have to buy and the cost of those items are just ridiculous. I know there has got to be another way. I am having trouble finding information on what the combinations of these numbers mean and how they are affecting my life both positively or negatively. Can you help me understand the good and bad luck of this home and what I need to do to correct the problems according to Feng Shui. One major problem is my mothers health and for myself, not being able to find the right partner for marriage. Can you help me correct …

Dear Master Lee a good day to start work this year according to your guide would be: 13th February = 2nd Lunar Day 15th February = 4th Lunar Day ++ 17th February = 6th Lunar Day however according to your auspicious dates, catered to my birth day/time, 14th February is the only very auspicious day. I manage a branch office that I can start work any time own my own and my team workers can start any time later too. What does “start work” actually mean; does it mean for individual or for benefit of company? I am thinking if Sunday is a good day, I will start work on Sunday in office for a few hours, issue a receipt and make that my start. My te…

Appended by Cecil: A photo tells a thousand words. Text and more text... hmmm.. The opening (walking into the cube) is not in direct line of hallway/clear glass conference room. Is the opening we want to refer to in Feng Shui the one we step through into the space? The hall and the clear glass conference room hits the side of my face (partially blocked by cube wall/ computer monitor).

1. I already explained why it’s important to place it on the outside of the door first, and why it was later taken in and put the right way up. 2. Everything else is completely up to you. If you still feel good about what you’re doing and have, or can, justify what you believe is good, then go ahead with it. 3. For things like this, there really are no right or wrong answers.

Hi, Please read below:- Generally, you still can, but not advisable if your situation is such that you have too much of water. What you should try to do is reduce the influence. However, please do not take it the wrong way or go to the extreme. Lets say that even if you are considered a Strong Water, does that mean that you cannot have metal? Remember that Feng Shui is about balance, and it is best to have a little of everything. This means that if in your Pillars you find that you do not have any Earth, then you should still try to create some earth by wearing some earthly colour or use Fire to produce what you lack. Why should you still have some unfavourable elem…

Dear Master Lee, Thanks for your advice and explainations.I have gain a better understanding now. Best Regards and take care.

These are some things to keep in mind: 1. It’s best to start with a proper, systematic assessment, like doing a “scientific triage.” 1.1. What you shared is based purely on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. To apply this correctly, it really helps if the evaluator can be on-site to study the environment. If that’s not possible, clear photos are very useful, as a picture can often say a thousand words. 1.2. This is because, unlike a lay person’s understanding, the wall at the front entrance that you described may not actually be considered the true “frontage” in both Shapes and Forms and Flying Stars Feng Shui. 1.2.1. This is especially so if the house opens …

Dear Elena, If you have not stayed at the house yet, you can get the contractor to paint the entire house. The `worse' effect is if one digs the ground at the Tai Sui's current location or knocks down the wall at the location. This is the main concerned as compared to painting the wall. I would go ahead to paint the entire house but (out of Chinese custom) avoid being at the location when the house/that sector has been painted. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear CECIL, I had posted a similar question earlier. My confusion is that houses sitiing in the East directions are called EAST houses. Then according to this the house should face West(sitting in East),or North(sitting in South) or South(sitting in North) orNW(sitting in SE).Now out of these NW and W are not considered to be good directions for the East group people, especially if they happen to be Death and Disaster directions for an individual. Please comment. Thanking you very much.

Feng Shui of Waterwoods EC : Some bedroom walls are thin and not of concrete/re-inforced bar. For example, if one looks carefully at the attached layout; the wall between bedroom 2 and master bedroom is just a thin wall. Especially bedroom 2's wall is made of gypsum board; take extra care of EMF raditiation from the rear of the TV set if any. Please see attachment

Dear Serene, It would be best to tie a red string with the 6 coinst tied together. This is preferred if one is using 6 coins. The rationale is because fire element (red) can help to bind or control metal element (especially if it consists of 6 metal or big metal element). Warmest Regards, Cecil
