Dear Constance, constance king wrote: hi, on my luck pillar analysis/summary, as weak water (east), i should stay in a house facing direction for metal to further improve my luck...and avoid nw & ne as house facing direction as it will further reduce my luck. but nw, ne west and sw are the 4 good directions for metal. also, if i use house facing direction for metal, does it mean i should use all 4 good directions (west)for metal instead? thanks In general, there are two concepts when it comes to house suitability:- 1. Eight House (4 good or 4 bad directions). This tells you how you suitable a room or house. Even though, this is based on the year of birth, the it is…

Q: 1) Best bed head directions - thre were 3 bed-head directions highlighted in blue. I also saw the comments "All including Jodi". Does that mean all the 3 bed-head directions are suitable for all the family members? Or is it only the bed-head facing east is good for Jodi but not the other two (i.e. facing north and south). A1: So happens that all your family members belong to the East group. And the 3 bed-head directions equally applies to all of your family members. If you look at the extreme left charts, I had placed numbers to the study/work tables because, it is much easier to arrange the study/tables. But I did not indicate any numbers to the bed-head. This is …

Hi Cecil, Thanks again for your help with the earlier post about window/sliding door pillars and sha qi. In many places one can find guidance regarding "stairs at the center of the house". In the most obvious case of #8, it's unambiguous that this is the "stairs at the center of the house". What I am unsure about is the remainder of these cases, some of which such as 1, 2, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 14 are possible to interpret as "stairs at the center of the house", whereas others are more of a stretch to consider as being at the center. note: the black lines are simply to illustrate the centers of each house. I just drew them intersecting through everythi…

Dear Master I hope you can provide me some pointers to tide me over 2005. My career has been stagnant in position & pay since I joined my company in 1999. All advancement/promotion has always eluded me due to constant organisation restructuring and changing of bosses.I havebeen transfered almost 5times throughout the years.

Dear Xin Xin, Please see below: Feng Shui is all about symbolism. And since 6 represents big metal; six coins are often used as a cure. Sometimes 3 coins are used also because the number 3 represents wood. And as the coins are symbolic of metal (real metal), under the five elements concept: metal destroy wood to "create wealth". This is why, sometimes, some FS practitioners or authors recommend using a string of three coins. Often, if one has these items for more than a month and found no problems - life goes on as usual, then, there is no problem in not doing a spiritual cleansing. What you mention, sounds like an amateur cleansing, and more likely it is made to…

1. Frankly, cleansing varies with different cultures. And races. 2. In the Far East, most people who consider themselves down with luck, often "flower bathe" themselves instead of cleansing the home:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=16295&new= 3. Again, the above "cleansing ritual" may not appeal to people outside of the Far East. 4. In the Far East (especially Singapore, Malaysia, Borneo, Sarawak and Thailand), "cleansing" a home means that the home is "dirty" (some felt that some evil entity stays) in the home. 5. However, I believe, you meant that your house is "clean" but you are purely out of luck, that's all.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Hi all Recently i came upon an article that saying it's better to get FS products from reputable fs sellers that make sure the products is cleansed properly before they sell to make sure there's no bad "history" on the products that can bring harm to the owner. My questions, if anyone can help to answer: 1. Is this true? 2. With many FS sellers in the market, how do we know which one has the proper products and process for cleansing (do they have any standardize certificate?) 3. What is the process to do our own cleansing to remove bad energy / history on the items to prevent harm in the case that we receiving the items as a gift and we not su…

These are some considerations: 1. Glass is considered as belonging to the metal element. 2. I can understand why glass table is popular. As often, some consider it good for small spaces. 3. Actually what you mentioned, has more to do with common sense. Just ask any man; young or old: if a girl with short skirts is sitting facing the person, it is not so much of no good to see people's leg; but rather... what goes further than that! Think about it! 4. It is just like I had mentioned, previously: if one installs a full glass mirror at the dining table; and as most dining tables do not have any courtesy board to cover the leg area, one can also look further thru the legs ..…

Dear Jen, Let's take alook at commonsense approach to Feng Shui. Often, the most convenient place to walk in and out of various rooms is a passage-way. Here, imagine a passage way (or clear space at the centrepoint of the home). In better Feng Shui homes, this corridor or area is the `flux' or centrepoint of a home. A low set of sofa furniture is still ok, since, it represents clear space i.e. nothing at this `centrepoint' that is as high as a wall. Please note that it does not necessary mean that all homes must have clear space here. It depends. What is not so favourable are locations like: a toilet / toilet bowl and a kitchen's stove etc... Under commonsense approach t…

Dear Valerie, This has to be approached from two view points: (1.) Using Intutitive Feng Shui (2.) Using Traditional Feng Shui methods 1. If one do not want to dwell further into Feng Shui, can use the intuitive or their 6th Sense. Under this, so long as the house has had no major problems, such as `happenings' like unnatural deaths etc.. Issues like previous "domestic problems" should not be an issue. Such Sha Qi usually dissipates `fast'. 2. For those who go further i.e. using Feng Shui may, use the Eight House Theory to see where is the best placement of the table i.e. generally checking the auspiciousness or inauspicious sectors. 3. Where possible, the office table p…

Dear Anon, 1. It is best to simply cover the big statue (if you can) rather than building a podium. 2. A simple solution is to use any clean bedsheet to cover it from top to bottom. 3. It is good to have a clean and bright room. If your room has a window, it is best to allow as much natural light into the house. 4. Usually, by moving in, for a few days, the vibes of the old tenants should be cleared. Unless, there are very old antique furnitures. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mr. Lee, Thank you for your advice! I have decided to take the clock down. And besides I would like for the customers to take their time when shopping at my store. Thank you again, Sherry

Dear Daren, Yes, a clock is considered a form of Sha Qi especially if it faces your house through a window. You can apply the rule: If one cannot see the Sha Qi, it no longer becomes a threat. See if you can come up with something e.g. draw the curtain etc... Another consideration is the clock. The smaller the better. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi Cecil, Can I change the clock to place above the dressing table ( with mirror) in the bed room?

Dear Master Cecil, This year the 5 yellow Yearly star flew into the East Sector which is an occupied bedroom( A) . Does it help if the windows of this bedroom are kept closed except for the upper vent ? The bedroom door can be kept open during the day for better ventilation.The ideais that the #5 Qi would have to come through the East Sector windows ( btw these windows are SE facing). That is, can we manipulate such that Qi may circulate from the Living room( NE & Center)into the East Sector bedroom thru' thebedroom doorbut preventing the negative #5 Qi to enter from the East bedroom windows by closing these windows? Similarly, the adjacent bedroom (B)falls partially…

Doesn't every combination have a Mountain star? On the Top left...

When I overlay the bagua over my space, the closet and the laundry are literally at the center. How can I remedy this? Place plants around the center area?

1. In my opinion, this is pretty similar to a walk-in wardrope (without doors). 2. From a Feng Shui point of view; there should not be any major issue; Visually, it may not look nice; only. 3. For exact colour, often it depends on the Flying Star numbers of a sector and in relation to a person's ba zi element. And not based on your description of west.. south... 4. Sometimes, installing beads or curtains.. if not changed or cleaned often may not be "hygenic". For example, if we hang a set of curtains; and don't change it for three or six months; the material may be a hive of germs. And I cannot think that each time we brush our face against this material; germs.. depo…

Dear Elena, 1. Where possible, one should avoid `open' water at the centrepoint. But if it is a hotwater heater, not much can be done and this can still be located here as it is `sealed'. Not ideal, but, still `acceptable'. 2. Where possible, if this is a storage area, if there are shelves, items can be placed on the shelves. But avoid, turning on e.g. vacuum cleaner or create a `disturbance' at the centre location. Static objects can be placed on shelves. Objects such as mobs should be dry before placing it in this location. It is thus advisable to leave the space clear as possible. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Oliv Sullivan, Oliv Sullivan wrote: I understand that it is not a good year to do "major" renovations in the NE this year. Does closing in a porch and turning it into a sunroom qualify as a renovation? It would involve installing windows, flooring, and moving an exterior door.Should a deck also be built in this same direction this year? The only direction that you really need to be concerned with is the Grand Duke direction West 270 degree. This sector should avoid any renovations if possible. Other analysis such as flying star etc impacts the house luck, so you need to check to see if it is advantages to renovate the house as it might change the house luck from …

Dear Steven, I believe that there are several `factors' to consider: 1. It depends on the space in the home. Some homes are small or as small as studio apartments especially those in Hong Kong. Thus, it is difficult to find a good location for an altar. 2. And if the family insists on an altar, then, it is best to come to a general consensus on this within the family. 3. Where possible, if we can, this should be avoided but based on some of the above considerations. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Feng Shui encompasses various aspects, including the environment, the site, and the interior of the home. 2. All of the aforementioned factors have an impact on Feng Shui. 3. In my view, there is no problem with airing shirts and pants, especially if they are not excessively soiled. This is a common practice in the real world. 4. Given that not all of us live in an ideal environment, as long as a room is adequately maintained, I personally do not see this as an issue. 5. Many of us have read Feng Shui books that advise against placing a TV set facing the bed, as it is considered inauspicious. The rationale is that when one sle…
