General Help

1. Typically, it is advisable to keep the garage separate from the main living space, but this decision ultimately hinges on the overall layout of the house. In certain cases, integrating the garage with the home may be unavoidable. 2. In general, the devil's gate concept can be linked to the Flying Star theory. If the northeast sector exhibits predominantly "yin" Flying Star numbers, then this could raise some red flags. Otherwise, it is usually not a significant concern. +++ In Summary " The inclusion of the garage in a home's Feng Shui considerations depends on the overall energy balance of the property. Additionally, the alignment of devil's gate w…

Frankly, it is not advisable to re-use someone else custom built in altar.

Hi Mr Cecil Thank you for your advice 1) I cannot place the altar at the wild card position as there is impossible to partition at that place 2) I cannot place at the shoe rack position as really need a shoe rack there. 3) I cannot place at position B as I was told this place cannot be be block or olace with furniture etc 4) So the most possible place maybe is what you indicated as place A 5) May I know if the height of the altar cupboard is 147cm height x 32 cm wide , is it ok?

1. In the link below, you can see a person kneeling down. The person is usually the eldest son. On the back of the eldest son's back is his deceased father's portait. You can clearly see a "learned" person using a Chinese brush coated in black ink. This person is placing "eyes" onto the deceased person's portait. Literally, this is placing an eye on a deceased person's portait. It is symbolic of opening the eyes (not on a physical body) but transferred onto the portait. It is common also for some to purchase Chinease deity figurines and have temples annoint the eyes in a similiar manner. Please see picture below:- http://cgi.geomancy.net/mypictures/cgi-bin/mypictur…

Challenge 1: Yes, there are currently ready made altars that has both a roof and side panels and sufficient depth to shield the altar from the winds. Challenge 3: In addition, such an altar already has space built in below it for an "Earth god" Alternatively, one can get a carpenter to built a custom altar with the specific dimensions:- Standard height for any altar: 125cm to 128cm. If a piece of glass is to be placed on the altar, then go for 125cm. Width depends on your needs: 18cm to 23cm or 40cm to 43cm or 59.5cm to 69cm Length: 41cm to 43cm or 59.5cm to 69cm or 71cm or 89cm or 107cm or 148cm Challenge 2: Since, the entire wall at location marked B is pretty long,…

Dear Richard, Richard Soh wrote: Hi, is it then ok for the dining table to be at the side of the altar table? thanks.

Apologies for the confusion. Yes, thanks for pointing out my typo error. It should correctly be : any odd numbers is Yang : 1,3, 5, 7. Thus I was too quick to type wrongly. Sorry for the confusion. Yin stars are even numbers: which should be 2, 4, 6, 8 etc... Cecil L. wrote: 5. Another type of Yin has to do with Flying Star numbers. For example Flying star numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 are yin stars and a high concentration of such stars on it's own is no issue. But if coupled by too yina sector or

1. The concept, is similar to "If it ain't broken, don't fix it". 2. In addition, imagine that we have or had already invited a "deity" into say our home. And if we are not changing to a new home, it would be "impolite" to shift the god or worse, have anyone seen an altar on wheels? 3. Once we have settled the altar, (the first time we moved-in), best not to "unseat" or worse "distrub" them. 4. Thus the most powerful important thing is "unless we have a good reason" don't distrub your exisiting god or "deity". Unless in the first place, they were wrongly placed or posited. Such as placing the altar facing a toilet or sharing a toilet wall etc....

Further to what I had mentioned:- 1. The key success factor in an excellent or great home is: Location, location and location. 2. Thus, in the past has elaborated on illustrations of : "Quantum Leap" in Feng Shui and even cases of "Entrapped" homes. 3. Of course, if one is kinda of free to look into the interior; this is considered as "Nice-to-do" and not a "Must-do" situation. 4. In the past, I have elaborated on the example of a ship: just imagine one is on a leaking ship. Even if one pathe the entire home in gold; outside the four walls is crumbling... no use. 5. Thus, it is certainly (no quarrels) here; "nice-to" make all the "perfect" measurements inside a home but;…

Thank you for advice and time master cecil and sorry for the faint scan... :-) Regards, Ray

1. It is Nice-to select a good date to perform the first-time open door procedure. 2. As this procedure applies to the breadwinners: usually Husban and wife; then, feel free to e-mail to: support@geomancy.net with Name / Gender / Date and Time of birth (western dates will do). If lunar dates, must make a comment/remarks. 3. Once I receive this, you can go and view the private link of the Combined auspicious dates and timing. Can advise you further; should that day of "inspection" is not auspicious or otherwise.

Dear KC, Please see below:- For rearing of fishes, it would not be advisable for a person with the element " weak Fire element " as water can further extinguish a person with weak fire element. In addition, it is normally not advisable for a person with Strong water element to rear fish as it may further strengthen the strong water element. This may lead to e.g. sickness or competition at work for the party. This is OK. Other that what I mentioned earlier; you can place the fish tank next to a wall in your home. Since this is a smiling buddha, it is ok to place near the fish tank. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Vincent, Indeed, I can verify the accuracy of Lillian Too's statement. A Feng Shui foot is equivalent to an imperial foot. By utilizing this precise measurement of 43 cm or roughly 17 inches as the diagonal of a square, we arrive at what Mathematicians refer to as the 'Magic or golden square'. The Feng Shui foot recurs every 43 cm [or 17 inches.] I previously penned a brief piece on this subject, accessible at the following link: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/ruler.htm I trust this information proves beneficial.

Dear Master Cecile Lee ; I come to stay in my house in 2005 and my house is Flat house (4m X 15m ) with 4 floors (1st Floor; 1st Additional Floor; 2nd Floor and 2nd Additional Floor) ; 1st & 2nd Floors are Full Floors i.e 4m X 15m and the additional Floors had 4m X 9m only. In 2015, we changed the Floor Tiles of 1st & 2nd Floors In 2020, we change the Floor Tiles of both Additional Floors. Please clarify did these renovations could change my house natal chart from Period 8 to period 9 or not? Thank you for your kind clarification. Sincerely yours

Hi Is it generally a concern to collect keys to a new home and enter it for inspection during a lunar 7th month? What are the things to look out for? Thanks

Dear Alice, However, it is best to have a full Feng Shui audit conducted before one knows exactly in what degree is it inauspicious. For example, the way the canal curves is a major consideration. If the canal curves and looks like a `sickle' slicing the house, this is inauspicious. It is difficult for me to fully advise you as one must be physically present to look at the `Shapes and Form' by doing an environmental scanning and using other tools and methods e.g. Flying Star, your suitability, the main entrance in relation to the breadwinner and many other considerations. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Thanks for the quick reply master. Btw is it really necessary to bring the stove (guo huo lo)? If yes, can use the portable gas type? Is it necessary to pray to "Tu Di Gong"? 1. I was told to bring the huo lo (gas lo also can), then every household member cross over it and must not be empty handed. (if cannot be empty handed, then what must we bring exactly) 2. Once enter the house, on all the lights, aircon and fan. Open the window and boil water. 3. sorry if this sounds stupid, Must i bring my dog along for the moving in ritual since he's considered part of the family?

In this example, born a few days difference from the earlier sample and this person is instead a "Weak Fire" person.

This year Chinese 7th month starts on 3 August and ends on 31 August. No issue if renovation starts before 3 August and continues to 31 August 2016. Avoid moving house during the Chinese 7th month.

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, I'm new here, hope someone can help to answer some questions i have regarding the layout of my new home. 1. Is it ok to have a tall cabinet right outside a room door? Facing room door directly. 2. Is it ok that the dining table is facing an alley? 3. Is it ok for the master room to be odd shaped? Any help would be appreciated, thanks! Just some other info, in the original plan, the master bedroom door is directly facing the toilet door. The plan attached is to avoid this problem. But is it a definite no for room door to face toilet? Or is there any other way to circumvent this? Thanks!!

Hello Thank you for allowing me to post on this forum. I have a question. Can I use a Ba Gua mirror to deflect negative and aggressive energy coming from my neighbor’s house? I have no ill thoughts towards my neighbors but their barking dogs are causing a lot of stress that is coming into my house. They are directly in front of my house. Can I use a ba gua mirror? If yes, which one? Flat, convex or concave? Thank you.
