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:- 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!

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.

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 …

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 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…

Pleas Please see my comments below:- Yes, since you are a WEST House person, South West sector is indeed your Health sector. When you use the 8house theory you should follow these steps:- 1. Determine your " 8house ". In your case, you had found out that it is the WEST house. 2. Prepare a template of it. For example, if you have tracing paper or better still, a transparency, mark out all the 8 sectors pertaining to the WEST house. 3. Next, obtain a copy of the layout plan (preferably on an A4 sized paper), find out the North to south direction of your house and mark it on the layout plan. 5. Determine the centre of the house. 4. Lastly super-impose your WEST house…

Yes, the bedroom is a Yin location (especially for adults). In Feng Shui the reason why many FS Masters suggest not to have plants is because plants are GROWING and do create some form of Yang `activity'. I guess a small plant is acceptable. What usually is no good are larger potted plants with large leafs. As for fresh "cut-flowers', there is no problem in placing them in a bedroom.. Most flowers do smell nice:) Water in the form of an aquarium or a fish tank is not good to be placed in a bedroom. This is because fishes swimming in the fish tank do generate yang ch'i and again as the bedroom is a place of rest (yin) it is not ideal to have a fish tank in the room. Even s…

Dear Joan, ? I have just e-mailed the 12 Animal Signs for Rabbit Year to the Geomancy Forum, you can look at it for a general family fortune of your family. If you require more details on the family fortune, you will need to apply the other theories such as the Pillars of Destiny Report http://www.geomancy-online.com. As the Pillars of Destiny is able to forecast the 5 yearly break down of luck pillars for 80 years of your life. Using this report information you can match the animal signs and the plus the luck pillars to determine whether it is a good year for you and your family. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

On the topic of Feng Shui Books, I have another link with the graphic on the book covers of some of the books I mentioned earlier to the reply on basic Feng Shui books. Click here to view the book covers:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/books.htm For those who are interested in finding out if Feng Shui is for real or hocus pocus, you may like to read this book:- Amazing Scientific Basis of Feng Shui by Dr. Ong Hean Tatt Phd. This book although does not have richly illustrated graphics on Feng Shui but has many research work on topics that really show that Feng Shui is for REAL! The book cover can also be seen under the above link (bottom right hand side of the page). Warning…

Dear Eve, Actually, I personally do not think that is absolutely correct. It is just like saying that every one has the same Eight House Direction or Pillars of Destiny. However, in order to say that is correct we have to see under which theory did the FS Master predicted this. I am not sure if you seen the recent mails that has to do with he Chinese Astrology and the 12 Animal Signs. Just looking from that angle. You will noticed that everyone luck for the year is different depending on which animal sign you are and what is the animal sign for the year. Maybe you should still stick to the cures that has been generated based on your Pillars of Destiny. And maybe in additi…

Thanks for your information. Please see my feedback below:- then your main entrance door is `North -- 10 degrees '. Thanks for the information.

A Feng Shui master would normally advise a person (where possible) not to have the toilet facing North or West. This was because in traditional Feng Shui practice, the North faces the cold and if the toilet faces the North, one may get digestive problems. If facing west, one may get `aggitated'. Unfortunately, it may not be possible for you to shift it. perhaps you could in your diet take more `cooling' food. Not cold food but food that relieves heatiness.

Thanks Robert. I had no idea that these animal signs were so involved. Cheers

Dear Joan, Based on the Chinese Astrological signs:- Until 15 Feb 1999, this period is still considered a Tiger year. Rooster in a Tiger year represents:- a. Good fortune and good time to push ahead with personal plans. b. Career switching is good and best go into partnership with one born in Ox. c. Plenty of chance to meet a partner, but true love comes only at the end of the year. d. Stay away from the sick otherwise it may spread to your family members. Rat in a Tiger year represents:- a. Beware of cash flow problems. Manage your budget wisely. Best to save. b. Better to be employee then boss. c. Those born in 1948 may have good or bad news coming your way in Decembe…

Happy new year to everyone. Thanks Eve for your input. I am not sure whether those books that you mention is available in the US or in Malaysia, but I will try to locate one. Again, thanks for your input. Mark.

Dear Glynis, Yes, Feng Shui is getting popular not only in Singapore but all over. As to the matter on how to determine, well you might like to have a chat with who ever the practitioner is and even check out from friends who you know had consulted them before. The make a judgement from what you know of the practitioner. Cecil and myself are glad that you are now doing well in your business:) This forum and chat is still relatively new (less then a week), so it will take time before the users are aware of it so it will take time before the chat room is occupied. Thank you for comments. We will continue to improve the site. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

In such a situation, nothing much can be done . Normally, the advice here is to cover the toilet bowl with the toilet seat cover and close the door. You can certainly try putting riverstones if you want. Cecil There is no need to do anything as it is already a good sector for your husband.

Dear Mark, If you are a Strong Metal, then any additional metal would not be beneficial to you. This is because in Feng Shui what is most important is the Balance of Element. Strong Element is good as it means that you are able to take control of your wealth, life etc. However, when you are Strong you need some controlling elements to control or neutralize the excessive Metal in you. Under the Five Element Cures, the Elements that can control Metal are Fire and Wood. Fire directly destroy Metal, or Wood can destroy Earth which helps grow your Metal. In terms of the overall house, a Metal house is suitable to your Element. The more important aspect of the house which affe…
