Yes, this is a pretty common senairo for many apartments. Anonymous wrote: Hi there, I have the same issue where the front door is directly aligned with the back sliding door but my property is a condo and will be too small to put up a screen or partition; is there anything else that can be done? Perhaps with the use of crystals? Thank you! Often, these are the common senarios:- 1. Often, we can draw "down" the curtain. And the curtain can act as a partial screen. 2. If it is a sliding door, then, slide the fixed panel towards the side directly facing the main door. 3. If we have a tall cabinet e.g. a tall tv cabinet. This is a plus point.

Two " Fu Dogs " are normally placed on top of the pillars of the entrance gate more for `luck' and to guard the house. It is still advisable to use other Feng Shui cures e.g. using a semi-circle carpet or pakua or even changing the direction of the door (for those who want to). Fu Dogs are used to `guard' the house and thus not really `cure' adverse sha.

Dear Alvin, It is no problem as we are corrresponding by e-mail and not on-site:) Please see reply below:- Yes, if you confirm that when you stand directly at your main entrance and there is a poison arrow `cutting' your main entrance, then, there is sha (poison arrow). Yes, my advice will be effective for your case. Alternatively, if the Management of your building could say install a `blind' on the window, then you do not need the `cure' as it will not affect you. Alternatively, if howeever, if " sun-x " or a `relective film' (on the side of the window facing the poison arrow (to reflect it `back') is used, you do not need the cure. If that particular locat…

Sorry to clarify the message below, it should instead read " Moles on the back of the body normally signifies burden. Thanks!

The flying star chart that is generated for is a 20-year char which last from 1984 to 2003. However, if the house is not renovated in anyway after 2003, the chart is still valid. When the stars move around, the feng shui will change. Thus, there is such a thing a yearly chart and even monthly chart. These report will be available at a later time. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Pedro, Currently, there are quite alot books on Feng Shui. I have not heard of Richard Webster. It is great to hear that you found his books good reading for beginners. This would be of help to users in this forum wanting to buy one for the beginners. Generally, Feng Shui books can be classified as under:- 1. A Feng Shui Master or his student writting books on " Traditional Feng Shui practise " especially those whose Master had originated from Taiwan or HongKong, and the Asia Pacific and even from Canada (where HongKong residents migrated there). 2. Books written not by Chinese Masters but overseas e.g. not of Chinese origin: a. Some of these authors who are influenc…

Dear Mark, The top markings are for measuring =the living (yang). The bottom markings are for the dead (yin). Hope that helps you. Warmest Regards, Robert Lee

Please see below:- A 5 rod windchime is equal to the technique of hanging a ceiling lamp with 5 bulbs each to represent each of the element. This type of "cure" is to `bring' all the 5 elements together at one location. It is best to clarify with her as there are many Feng Shui theories plus a mix of Chinese Astrology and even divinity methods.

Please see below:- Yes, you did the right thing. In Feng Shui, it is always best to have the stove face the Fire element direction. Yes, this is not ideal but it is better than having it next to a water element e.g. wash basin or refrigerator. The good news is that since you mentioned that your stove is facing the South, which belongs to the Fire element, it is acceptable to have a water position e.g. refrigerator to be facing the `fire' element ie. the stove to `cool down the Fire' element. Good Luck in your renovations!

Dear Mark, Under the Flying Star numbers 2 & 3 are not very good. 2 is normally misfortune and sickness. House number is not really widely practice because it is not really an accurate fortune telling tool. The reason some Feng Shui masters take that into account, is more for flats or high rise buildings. They believe that not every level will have the same feng shui even though the building has the same type of design layout for each level. Only under this circumstances will some Feng Shui master apply this theory giving it additional depth in the analysis. (So far from what I tried, it is need true more for high rise then low rise, for low rise it is not very useful…

Dear Toni, In your case, there are three sets of principles you can apply:- 1. Interior layout of your caravan should follow some of the suggestions provided under the topic " The Home " e.g. the position of the basin in relation to the stove and the position of the bed/table. 2. If you know your true element and it's strengths (Pillars of Destiny) you can apply it to your van eg. if say you are considered a person with weak water: you could enhance your caravan by having blue, grey (as an example). If your element is Water, and you have some designs or logo, you could have a logo that is wavy to represent the Water element. 3. When parking your caravan at night, follow s…

Dear Vincent, Thanks for sharing with us the information about the placement of stoves in Sweden. Yes, infact, I have come across this when a few readers e-mailed me about it quite sometime back. In Feng Shui, we normally try to avoid placing the stove in the middle of the kitchen and this is not practised in China. Most of the stoves are located on a wall. I guess, since this is quite a `standard' in Sweden, it should be ok because Feng Shui taboo is to avoid the stove next to the sink or the refrigerator. In this case if the stove is in the middle, it will definetly not `clash' with the sink. The only other consideration under Traditional Feng Shui practice is th…

Please see below:- For the master bedroom, let the other partner who does not have the disaster or the death line sleep closer to this line. As you have not mentioned both partner's Pillar's of Destiny information: e.g. husband = strong fire or wife, it is difficult to analyse further. For example if the husband = strong fire and the bedroom is at the south i.e. a " fire" room, being a strong fire,+ the room is also a fire element, this may lead to keen competition and work pressure etc.. Worse still if the bedroom is painted `pink'. In such an example, after anlaysing the wife's element and if it does not affect her, it may be good to even paint the room light blue …

The only thing that Feng Shui Masters advise is to place the dragon at the East wall. It should not " seemed " to be hungry (ie the dragon article you have ) as it will mean that you have problems feeding "yourself". However, in your case, you can collectilvely place all the dragons at one location. Preferably on the East side of your house and not the West side (yin side). A dragon can also be used to point at your entrance door `to guard it'. On the other hand, you can use it as an alternative to say a cannon to point at a posion arrow. Let me illustrative what I am currently facing:- When I first moved to my new house, it is a condominium with a swimming pool. Further …

Please see below:- 1. Once a Flying 1. The Flying Star chart is valid (can be applied to this particular home only). 2. If you do not make any major renovations; this same Flying Star Chart is still applicable after the year 2003 e.g. year 2030 etc... 3. Once you do a major renovation: For example in the year 2005; you did a major renovation, then the house comes under the ' Flying Star " of the Period 8. (Currently 1984 to 2003 comes under Period 7), where if you notice the flying star chart, 7 is in the centre. 2. No you cannot use the same chart to assess your office environment unless the main entrance door is EXACTLY the same location as your existing h…

Dear Eve, My advice is not to have an open mouth fish-shaped earthen-vase even if it is facing the main entrance door. If you have noticed most of the objects e.g. some consider the 3 legged frog, also have a coin in the mouth of the frog and a `crystal' representing a diamond. It is preferred to have an object with a closed mouth and e.g. a coin or any other precious stones in the mouth. This is symbolic of obtaining wealth. Cecil Lee

In an article I wrote much earlier at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/photo1.htm there is a picture (Picture 3) where this house has it's back at the junction of a major traffic light junction. The owner went to the extent of erecting a high brick wall and he even placed two Chinese warrior statues and recently he even place a sign between the two Chinese warrior with the words " Fort Meyer " (Meyer refering to the side road to his house). At the foot of the two statues, he placed a wide variety of cactus. On the top of the walls he placed at roughly 2 feet intervals Chinese lamp to represent `lighting' up the place. Imagine, this person went to so much extent to protect…

Thanks for bring this up. I guess it is the use of English. To clarify, you should first find the centre of the house. An example is shown at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm. Next, you should use an ordinary compass and stand at the centre of the house. The direction, the main door faces is the direction of the door. At a later date, I will revise the page and `correct' the English so that is is no longer ambigious. Once again, thanks for hightlighting this information. Cecil

Dear Sharron, In Feng Shui, before anyone needs to apply the cure, they should check to ensure that it is the most compatible solution for everyone. Otherwise, it may do good for one person and harm the other. This is especially so when you are applying cures for the entire family. If is it for your own personal cure, and the cures are only say located or isolated in your room, then that should be fine. Wind Chime is mostly used as a cure for say a bad location in the house, so the cures under this circumstance should be most suitable cure for the breadwinner of the house.

Dear Leslie, Thanks for sharing with all of us your experience on how you got started on Feng Shui. I guess most users started `learning' Feng Shui from various sources. For those fortunate to live in countries in the Far East such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia and Singapore or Canada (where some FS Masters have migrated from Hong Kong) these users, if they are lucky could study under a FS Master. Alternatively, if you are near to Feng Shui `centres' in US, England or Australia, this would be a good way to learn. However, the next best alternative are as you have mentioned Feng Shui books. Currently, there are so many good Feng Shui authors around and you can choose from…
