General Help

Thanks for your help. I will go to get some flowers from the temple to do a flower bath soon. I forgot to mention more details of what transpired and how I came to be in possession of a pakua mirror. It happened like this: One dayI was walking on the road and this foreign guy who was also walking on the road stopped me and offered to look at my fortune for $10. Thinking that I coud fork out the small amount of money, I let him do what he wanted so we had an impromptu fortune-telling kneeling on the roadside there and then. Later,not contented to earn that $10, he probably decided to foist a pakua mirror on me so as to earn another $8. At that time I didnt know anything a…

Thanks Cecil for the compliment. However, I am only as good as my teacher ! Cheers Glyn

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

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

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

1. Please note that this area is no hocus pocus. 2. It is strictly based on the Five Elements concept AND? 3. For example, there is a difference between a person who is a WEAK FIRE person vs a STRONG FIRE person. 4. Of course if one is a weak fire person; the his/her beneficial element or colours are Wood (Green, brown or wood tone) and Fire (Red, pink or purple). 4.1. IF one is a STRONG fire person, then, common sense under the Five Elements concept is that one should not have additional FIRE (Red, pink or purple). Water element is favourable for that person. 5. If you are into DIY, you have to understand the concept of the Five Elements. 6. As you can see from the…

Yeah, forgot, Honeywell site also recommends the use of specific plants to help clean the air in the home:- http://content.honeywell.com/yourhome/eiac-air_cleaners/plants.htm Perhaps, for those who cannot (for now) afford the air cleaner can look at the recommended type of plants that can help to clean the house's air.

Frankly, take a simple flow chart: 1. Either one goes to a geomancer. In this case, you should follow-up with your geomancer and ask him to find the leaks for you. or 2. DIY. For DIY, I have provided you some of the good practises. However, I can understand, many of us; simply are too impatient, here as there are lots and lots of things to take note. And the fact that if one don't even know how to find the leaks; Please refer to Para 1. 3. In the earlier, link; the fact is thateven allgeomancers needs to go thru the "Triage" to find out what are the leaks. A link which I posted earlier mentions this.

Thank you Cecil for your reply. May you have more blessings in all the helping advise your give to people. Once again, thank you.

Dear Kieron, Under Feng Shui, the most `vulnerable' area for poison arrows are: 1. the main entrance door. 2. the view from windows inside the house. The concept of `poison arrows' is that if you cannot see the poison arrow, there is no longer a threat. For a dying tree between your home and your neighbours, it is no `threat' unless: 1. it can be viewed from a window of a house and when it fulfil para 2 below. 2. when the tree disintegrates into a `tree stump'. When you only have a `broken' tree stump, this now becomes a `sha' provided when you peer through the window, it is tangent or perpedicular to it. In the long run, it is best to totally uproot the tree incase of de…

Dear Yoke Yeen, 1. Frankly, from a micro perspective of a condo (the site itself) there are always good units that have excellent / good or favourable qi. But other units may have less or unfavourable qi. This is often applicable to all developments - large or small. 2. From the fact that you have brought up the prison, plus many others have brought up this "issue", would suggest that there are more people who may just don't like the idea of living close to or facing or looking at the prision (since some units have such a view). 3. Under Para 2, these are not directly Feng Shui related, but rather affect our human component ie. our "feel good or feel bad factor". If ou…

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…

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.

1. In general, your job function I assume would remain the same "Finance". 2. When we consider the industry; car retail is considered as belonging to the Metal industry. While Vessels transporting gas in general are also metal & water (where metal = vessels which needs to travel on water). 3. Frankly, under the Five elements concept, both are equally acceptable. As you are strong earth element person: metal helps to exhaust a strong earth person. 4. Under the "destructive" cycle, earth helps to "exhaust" water. This is where water is said to be your "wealth" element. Reference: http://www.geomancy.net/talknotes/talknotes.htm 5. Thus on "paper" and following str…

Another method of "testing" to see if a tree trunk or lamp post or other tall thin objects may pose as a poison arrow... This is most effective for any threats at (or to the) ground level premises. It is also good as a secondary check for higher floors as we can move our neck and have a quick glance to see if it does pose a threat to higher floors. For higher floors, your method is good; but do remember to stand immediately at the middle of the window facing outwards.. In this case, it should be looking from "B" towards "A".

Dear Anon, In my opinion, the key success factors are: 1. Location, Location and Location The three L's are the most important consideration. For most of forum members - this refers to Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. 2. Next; are the critical and nice to have: 2.1 Flying Star Feng Shui - It would be nice to have - double (something) at the main entrance. For example under current Flying Star period of 1984 to 2003; it is nice to have doube 7's at the main entrance. 2.2 Where possible, under the Eight House, best not to have death or disaster sectors at the main entrance. It can still be. But often, this is already like a broken arm even before one moves into the home. 2.3 Ba …

Dear Anon, Where possible, try to allow Qi to meander. It is better to `avoid' multiple "layers" of open areas (if you can). Since you are more familar with your home, can you feel a rush of air when standing at your door i.e. at certain times? If you have windows on the other walls of the room, this would lessen the effect. For example if you have windows only at the North and South of the house, wind depending on the time of day will blow from e.g. high pressure zone to low pressure zone and vice versa. And if you only have windows at North or South or ( East and West ), then you may feel the gush of air pressure flowing directly from North to South or vice versa. I h…

Dear Mohana, Mohana Bommena wrote: What do you/anyone suggest for a couple who have a direction that is Good for the husband but is BAD for the Wife and Vice versa. This has been answered many times if you had just searched the forum. The forum contain severalthousands offrequently asked topics. So most questions people asked are often answered. This is a very common and quite easy to solve by applying the give and take approach. 1) The house should most importantly be suitable to the breadwinner of the family since he/she earn most to support the family. So the breadwinner must get the best facing so as to get the most luck. 2) Since the breadwinner has luck for the…

1. One good point is that fortunately, the emergency exit (staircase) is on the side and not directly visible from the main entrance door. - Good. 2. Frankly, symbolically it is not the best to face the dustbin; but I believe there is really not much choice as one cannot really change the external layout of your block of flat. 3.If a person is applying or going to apply Feng Shui,all we can do is to follow the concept of: http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Concept_of_Maximizing_Marks 4. From the picture of the room; although there are sharp edges: the bed position looks acceptable as the sharp edges don't seem especially to cut the bed. And the worktop ro study table is…

Dear Cecil, Thank you for your reply.Yes it was helpful! Mybedroomhave7 5 2 stars in it. All 3 are not great numbers. So I understood that I am to use metal and water elementsfor that room. Last year the annual star #2 fly inmy current bedroom which made it 7 5 2 2. Whatis the best treatment for that room... more metal items? wood? This year it is 75 2 1, On the report I ordered from you..I got puzzled.. 20 year chart says for 7 2 make use of water to exhaust and weaken Metal Annual 5 1 make use of Metal to exhaust and weaken earth. If you weaken the metal then the metal can't weaken the earth. If I put more water like strong blue paint in my bedroom, it will mak…
