General Help

Hi, I'm looking to purchase a new house with the following layout. The 1st floor is rented out to a medical clinic (with a primary care physician, a dentist and a physical therapist). The 2nd floor is the primary residence area. I was wondering if it is okay to live above a clinic? Also, is the feng shui of the overall house okay? Is the kitchen too close to the entrance, bedroom, or the center of the house?

Master Lee, I intend to purchase above 20th floor unit in stack 3. What is your opinion on the feng shui? thanks

I am in my 3rd year of self-taught feng shui 8 mansions and new to flying stars. This is my own home. It is just me here with my 3-year-old son in a very small house. Please help me with my flying stars. I can remedy most of this, but the S and SW are horribly inauspicious areas and taking up my whole living room! I don't know what to do with these!

Frankly, you are on the ground, you have all the available facts. Here, I really don't have much to go on. For example, I waited for you to fix the broken link. And later, when the link was fixed; the google map was a very rough one but to me it distinctly show a home at a T-junction. And only later, you post a layout plan..... When I comment, this is a "classic" case of a home at a T-junction. You query me; why I called it a home at a T-junction. Now you ask to comment on such details. I only say your layout plan. It is just a 2-D (2 dimensional plan). AndIreally have the faintest idea ofdetails whetherdo you have adrain be it open or covered- if any; how exactly the c…

Some homes are like an unpolished gem. Some enhancement can do wonders to this home. But for some homes, the odds may be stacked against it. As no amount of enhancements can work. Such home often have more problem areas and instead of enhancements, one may have to use more Elastoplast (plaster) to fix up!

Dear Laraine, The main important point to note is that even if you can see certain `pointed' arrows at your main door, they may not be `pointed' arrows. Based on what you have mentioned to me, some of the objects you mentioned most likely are not `poison' arrows. This is because, when standing at the main entrance door and looking out, we can see quite a range of things. What you need to remember is that: 1. It is not a poision arrow if it is not `aimed' at your main entrance. If I am not wrong, the TV aerial on your neighours house is placed on their roof and in such a situation, unless it `bends' down and like the barrel of a gun, aims at your house, this is not a `poi…

Dear Mdm Tan, Glad that you find this website useful a. From a Feng Shui point of view:- 1. Generally, it is a site worth considering as: 1.1. all the blocks can be of very high floor(s) 1.2. higher floors have generally good unobstructed views 2. For such a development, often, the aim is to get higher floors vs lower (1 to 5 storeys) 3. Try to use the Eight House to check to see if the home especially fits the breadwinner. 4. Another major Feng Shui consideration has also to do with where is the afternoon sun? Generally, it would be good if the masterbedroom, bedrooms and even the living rooms are not "bathed" by the afternoon sun. 5. Even if the rooms …

Dear Casey, Casey Wong wrote: hi I'm planning to get a tattoo design of a KOI fish on my leg somewhere around the calf area. Therefore, my question is whether will this effect my feng shui, since tattoo is permanent. Thanks in advance. Frankly, tattoos are more commonly associated with gangsters especially in singapore during the 1950's, 1960's and 1970s. So it already have a negative impact. You see just like why people have bad impression on number say 4 = die, when most think about tatoo it often relates to something bad or illegal. In feng shui, you want to have more good influence than bad influence, so naturally, tattoo would also be viewed as having bad influen…

Hi Robert, Thanksa lot for the clarification Regards, Lee

Please don't think of Feng Shui as monotone. In fact, there are so many flavours of Feng Shui:- http://www.geomancy.net/events/CDL_FS_Talk/talk_1_slide_19.htm Unfortunately, many think that Feng Shui is Fung Sway and think in terms of the myopic tunnel. And it is also does not revolve around the ba gua mirror. Where some think that it is the mother of all cures. Furthermore, without the ba gua mirror is not like armageddon...

Hi Master Cecil, Good Day! I have tried your 30 days auspicious Day for Two Person to check for me and my husband new house door opening procedure. May i know if we are performing the door opening procedure on the day that matches both of us, is there any particular timing we need to follow? Or any time of the day is suitable as long as not evening or night time? Need your advise on this. Thank you. Regards, Janelle Ng

Hi, We just moved into a new home and based on my calculation it seems this is a good home with parent string combination. Unfortunately we have a corner that's either missing or protruding (attached floor plan). As we won't be able to do any renovation due to this is a townhouse we would like some advise or what we can do. Thank you so much, Shaun

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Just want to know if salt lamps are good for feng shui when placed in the house. Thank you very much. Generally, salt lamps are made from salt crystal rocks. Generally, it is not really a feng shui item or product. Just a decorative form of lighting feature. No issue in general to use it. In terms of best feng shui location, it is related more towards crystal. Under the feng shui, areas where there is auspicious mountain star (ie star 8/9/1 for period 8 houses, or 7/8/9 for period 7 houses), should benefit from having some form of mountain star feature. Typically a crystal or mountain picure. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEO…

I recently moved into a high-rise condo where my bedroom window is facing a funeral home. In addition to that my condo is on the 4th floor and has a 4 in the room number. I’m not allowed to hang anything outside my window because it may fall and hurt someone walking below. I am looking for guidance as to what Bagua mirror to buy and where to put it, I only know that the mirror should not be in the home. Any help would be grateful, thank you.

Hi Master Lee, Seek your advice and clarifications. 1) does a house kua permanent or change with time eg. Period 8 and 9 house kua same or different? 2) i stay in HDB with main door facing opposite neighbou's main door. Any remedy? 3) reading your posts, if unlucky that rubbish chute is next to or in front of unit, what is the remedy? 4) any bad energy if lifts are next or opposite unit? Worry lifts going up and down may cause influence. Any remedy? 5) while reading your posts, you wrote "xxx is under flying star xxx". What does it imply = good or bad? 6) for a dual key unit, it is usually 1 bigger unit with its own door and 1 smaller wi…

Dear Anita, There are three `issues' regarding the computer: 1. The Video Display Screen which is made of glass. Depending on the type of computer screen used, some are `reflective'. If you have read many messages on `avoiding' mirrors in the bedroom, here, the computer screen = mirror and should preferably not face any part of the bed. If so, you can simply use a computer cover or a cloth to cover it when not in use. 2. Some Feng Shui Masters believe that computers are `electrical' and belongs to the water element. In this case, if will affect those particularly those with `weak' fire element. 3. As computers are `electrical' there will be some form of magnetic interfere…

Dear YC, Yes, symbolism is very important in Feng Shui: 1. Most importantly paintings must not show animals that are `fierce'; too thin; on the prowl & looks hungry etc... 2. Since, you have mentioned that the painting is a resting, friendly tiger, in my opinion, this is acceptable painting. Where possible, place this painting in areas where there is clear space e.g. living room area. And not in enclosed or small confines of a bedroom. 3. Other types of paintings: 3.1 Paintings near main entrance or living room area: If one is using traditional Chinese paintings, one can use e.g. paintings such as 8 or 9 koi fishes. To symbolise clear space. Calligraphy is ok. 3.2 Pa…

Dear Master Lee, Can pregnant women participate in the rituals of moving? Thanks

Dear Master, May i ask if this plot is bad buy? The Plot of the land is facing North, the land is sloping backwards, i could fill up the land to 1-2m to level to the road. However there is a small running stream of water on backside of the plot. Is this buy very bad for feng shui?

Yes, from a quick glance (eye-ball) view; it looks acceptable.

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

I am a university student about to be 30, this is my 6th year of a degree, I am a single mother of 4. My studies have been difficult and very exhausting, I am taking longer than others. I am intelligent, I have difficulties concentrating at home, for various reasons (children), stress, sleepy and time management. I just moved into a brand new apartment building, on the 14th floor, I am paying very special attention to the North and North East. I have a wood desk I got given to me today it will be delivered whenever I am ready, however I am almost scared I will place it the most negative of the three options I have...Although I do not know which position is the most negati…

Hi Cecil, I did the free reports on your web and found out that my bazi I am wood and east direction and my hb bazi is oso wood and southeast direction . happened that both our kua is east group as well. Our house frontage is a S2/3 facing where our main door is at NE sector and bedroom is at W sector . Under period 8 flying stars understand the frontage is good for us however with our bedroom location facing west (not so ideal direction for east grp but with good numbers 1 and 6) and main door at northeast (with bad numbers like 7,2,9) is this still considered a good unit for us? I have also read tht kitchen must Not be at nw area which thankfully it is not . May I chec…
