General Help

Using eye-ball method, please see attachment for the centrepoint. Looks like the centerpoint is not located in the toilet. It is located in the kitchen. But fortunately, it is not directly above the stove which is inauspicious. The Concept of Maximizing Marksshould be applied should the toilet is located at the centrepoint.

1. Reference article on the dangers of underground water:- http://forum.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-under.php 2. So long as your toilet bowl and it's sewerage piping is on another wall; placing your bed-head towards the toilet wall is acceptable or fine (OK). Anonymous wrote: If we move the bed(facing south), it will be on the same side of the bedroom door(facing east) but our legs will not be pointing at the door. (legs will point towards the toilet wall but not directly at the toilet door) 3. Bed-head placement or placement of the bed, usually should be based on the Shapes and Forms Feng Shui as often, there are limitations such as the bedroom door, toilet door, b…

Hey! My home is directly above the stove!

Dear Elizabeth, In a classroom, priority should be given to the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui: 1. Usually a classroom is rectangular in shape. 2. Normally one side of the classroom has windows. The opposite side usually are the entry and exit points. 3. If the classrooms are airconditioned and there are blinds at the windows, it would still be best to arrange the tables tangent to the windows so as to avoid glare. If we use the above `formula', there is really not much we can change the placings of the tables (other than to avoid glare). The traditional placement of tables in uniform rows and columns is still the preferred method. As a teacher, one would have to sit…

Dear Master Cecil, Thank you for your reply.Is this principle apply if we place the fountain along the wall on the left-side(from the main door looking out).How about if the placement of the fountain inside the hse beside to the main door facing the living hall.Or in others word not to place any water feature at all if the hse faces WEST due to the white-tiger mouth.Hope to get the reply and thank you in advance for your reply. Warmest Regards, alvin niap.

Dear Andy, I see that you are new to the forum. A warm welcome to you! Under the most basic of Feng Shui concepts, your desk can be arranged based on 3 FS concepts: A. Shapes and Form School: 1. Always place one side of the table flushed against e.g. a pillar or wall `for support'. 2. Where best, the back of the desk should not be a walkway. Ideally, you should have a wall behind the table. For a `solid' support. 3. Do not sit under a column. 4. Avoid poison arrow e.g. sharp edges pointed towards you. 5. The table should not be seen openly from a door or directly facing a door. 6. It should not be next to a toilet or facing one. The above are some of the general considera…

Dear Nathalie, In Feng Shui, there are two concepts:- 1. study facing a good direction. You can use the free Feng Shui report to look at it. However, caution is that it is always better to have the study table position based Good Shapes and Forms than (para 1 i.e. nice to have). For example, if the best direction is to place the study table next to the bedroom door; this may be distracting to your eldest son even if the direction is good! 2. Another traditional idea is that if it window of the bedroom open out and to the right (a distance away); there is a tall e.g. tower, this signifies, scholaristic achievement. Many FS practitioners encourage the placement of a small f…

I'm sorry, but I do not understand your answer and how it relates to my situation. Please allow me to explain my question further....perhaps my original question was misunderstood. I have an entrance at my kitchen/dining room. This is not the main/facing entrance (Main/facing entrance is in the west). This is in a single family house, not an apartment nor is it in a building with other residences. The side of the house where this door is located is the South side of the house, but because of the particular layout of the grid of this house, where that door lands on the grid is in the SW sector. So I was wondering if the entrance is considered to be a SW or South entrance.…

1. Usually, some older folks would wrap (even number of coins) e.g. 20 cents in a red paper and placed it into the urn. 2. You may pour the contents (ash) into say a plastic "bin" and check to see if there was any previous "objects or items" such as the above. If so, you can still take it out and place it into your new urn. 3. Often, when changing urns, some would scoop some of the old ash into the new urn. 4. You may wrap up the old urn in a "used" clean newspaper and simply throw it away, afterwards.

These are further considerations: 1. It depends on the compass sector of the kitchen 2. The stove should often sit facing the female (wife's) favourable direction). 3. Frankly, a few lines of text can't do justice. 4. However, all I know from you isyousaid "the kitchen stove was facing a little of the kitchen door," and the threat that it will cause your earnings to be lesser than 50% on it's own merits is a blatant threat and one of the dirtiest tricks in the name of Fung Sway. 5. There are scientifc ways in the name of Feng Shui to assess such a situation. And it can't help that you keep on wanting to "squeeze out" information; where what you wrote were simple lines of …

Dear Cecil, If I plot a pie chart, both bathroom and bedroom are in the SE sector (flying stars 2 & 5). What's the remedy to put for the bedroom? In this case, shall I make a big window in the bathroom to have a primary influence of qi to capture the bad stars? Appreciate your advice here.

1. As mentioned, previously there are TWO differing views:- 1.1. One view is that ONLY when EXISTING foundation is demolished and a new foundation come up can the site (building change qi). 1.2 The other view point is based on symbolism. And there are many different view-points as to what may constitute a change. Thus I am only stating or collating the various view points:- The views range from:- 1.2.1 Entire building refreshed with coat of paint (and refurbishment)and the whole house gets refreshed with a coat of paint. 1.2.2 For an apartment, one view point is that since the roof cannot be removed, the ceiling of the home could be given a coat of paint - and this s…

Dear Marcus, In the west, bees generally signifies industrious and hardworking. For the Chinese, there is very little significance attached to bees. The only significance is that when it is associated with a monkey... a monkey and bee implies the hope for a promotion. I believe, that it is certainly a good sign for you:) Wishing you all the best on your new job! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Since the home is rented; and from a commonsense approach; close the toilet door when not in use - I suppose.

These are some considerations:- 1. Usually you need to laise with two parties:- 1.1 the government body or those in-charge of exhumation 1.2 They will get in touch with the grave digger(s). In fact, grave diggers are more worried about getting the correct protocol done! As they feel that they are equally affected if they do the wrong thing! 1.3 For example, whenever those in the know; would place a canvas sheet above the grave before digging it. 1.4 Usually, a representative of the family would be present: to later give a hong bao (red packet). 1.5 If possible avoid bringing youngsters to the site. Youngsters upto 12 years old should avoid being present. Never accep…

These are some considerations: 1. Photo did not show out. 2. Please note that if the storm drain(s) are not covered; it also depends on the facing direction of the home. As this makes a difference if water should flow from right to left or left to right if it is "passing" thru the frontage.

Dear Aloysius, Ideally, the main entrance door should not be in a direct path with the balcony. If so; depending on the layout of the door; if the door is close to one side of the apartment, then logically, a partition can be placed between the main door and the balcony area or alternatively, the side of the sliding door facing the main door should not be opened. Warmest Regards, Cecil

In my opinion these are some of the considerations:- 1. The Traditional Paradigm or Model is that the "six killings liu sha" signifies: things like scandals, missed opportunities & legal entanglements. 1.1. In particular, in the past; the Chinese like many societies; the girls or ladies live in a relatively conservative society and what would be worse was to have girls in one's family or home involved with scandals with opposite sex. This was unheard of as girls or ladies were suppose to stay at home and cook. 2. The Paradigm shift. 2.1. In modern times; women (girls & ladies) are often considered equals in many fields. And women are now involved in many differen…

Thanks for your reply. Your report for me said that Earth element was best for my career but I am struggling to find an option that would be appropriate to me. Construction, Property, Estate Agency, etc would not be appropriate for me. Could you give me some more fields, jobs, or ideas for Earth Element? This is why I was asking about maps or nutrition for food industry. Interior Design? Or would this come under "Arts" which is Water element
