Dear Kerrie, Frankly, I do not know where to begin advising you on concepts such as "fame" area. These are non-traditional FS practises. Neutral colours such as white or pastel white colours are best if one is not sure what colour to paint a wall. Alternatively, instead of speculating on what to paint the wall at the "fame" area - you could perhaps, make a choice based on your personal feelings or consulting family members on the colour. Where possible, in such an instance, do not be `taken' in by suggestions on how to `brighten' up the fame area... These are not proper FS theories ... Warmest Regards, Cecil

A. COLOUR OF THE MAIN GATE:- 1. Frankly, in my opinion, in modern times; this type of thinking is like "stone age" ideas. 2. For sure, if you are living in Singapore, I can assure that I have literally walked thru so many various landed property estates: in the East, North-East, West, NW, Central/Southetc.. 3. I have yet to come across "multi" coloured in particular: the main gate. 4. I have yet to come across a blood or maroon red main gate nor a blue coloured one nor a bright yellow (unless it is a temple). B. COLOUR OF THE MAIN DOOR:- 5. However, for the main door, yes, colours are considered. 6. Many geomancers in Singapore; felt that Singapore island is in the "so…

Dear Nat, 1. Usually, the most effective method (especially) if there are no windows at this sector is the use of a full length mirror at this sector. 2. Only if the above resources are exhausted, should you then consider painting e.g. using a more yang colour. Between red or purple, I would choose purple as red can be too `bright' for the home. But if given the choice between pink or purple, I would instead choose pink colour. 3. You should check what is the significance of the missing corner. For example using the reference under this link: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/building.htm 4. If the missing corner (defined as greater than 33.3 percent of that sector) has a major …

Dear Carrie, Apolgoise. Forgot to reply on this. Grey, shouuld come under water i.e. Water element has the color blue, shades of grey and black. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Karen, 1. There are many different issues in Feng Shui and Ba Zhi (Pillars of Destiny) and Yin and Yang concepts with regards to determining/recommendation as to the colour in a room. 2. This message would not be able to address all the above. And furthermore, `knowledge sector' is not practised here. 3. With regards to colours, `earth' colour or any other colours, you may have to take it in the context of Yin (darker) and Yang (brighter colours). Since your preference or comfort level is a darker room, it should do. Usually, earth colour is associated with Yellow. I am not sure what is the exact colour i.e. mauve.. if it dark, then, it could instead be `wood' colou…

1. Overall, under Period 8, the better neutral colour that you may consider is light cream or beige. 2. Under Period 7 (1984 to 2003), the best neutral colour was white. Today, 2008, the best neutral colour is as mentioned under Para 1.

Thank you very much. Congratulations for creating and designing a site with a well structured library of useful information.

Dear Donna, Frankly, I can only comment based on Feng Shui directions as I have little information without info on the analysis using Flying Star. Under the harmony of the Five elements (rudimentary Feng Shui concept). Under the Five elements concept: 1. NE = Earth element or Yellow. The ugly cream you mentioned can be considered the Yellow element. Implication: a. Cream is in general considered a `harmonious' colour as it is the colour of the Earth element. b. Under the Flying Star analysis, so long as there is no strong Earth or No. 2 numeral at the NE, this colour is acceptable. If there is a star 2 at this location, best not to use cream colour. 2. If you are paintin…

Dear Anon, 1. There are many and varied ideas and beliefs regarding the type and number of fishes to be kept. 2. I agree that one belief is that some practitioners advise to keep fish according to the `season' of birth. 3. But, this is subject to interpretation or misinterpretation. Nowadays, most fishes bred in captivity, no longer `comes' from one season but rather, difficult to determine the `exact' season. Next, if you go to commercial outlet or shops, some of these outlets may have difficulty finding a fish that suits a person. 4. Here, you may end up buying fishes based on colors that suit you. For example, if you are a weak wood person, you may be asked to buy a g…

Dear Amy, Usually, under Feng Shui, painting of the door is based on the following considerations: 1. Are there any threats to the frontage of the house? If there are threats to the main entrance: Example 1: If the main door is facing a cemetry or tombstones.. then it is good to paint the door in the most yang of colours i.e. RED. Red is also chosen as an auspicious colours e.g. Chamber of Commerce building or the colour of temple doors. Example 2: Singapore is considered in the `South' and generally, since South represent Fire element, Metal colour doors or White is a generally good colour for the door. 2. The front door colour should `harmonize' with the element of that…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Hi, is it true thathome Main Hall Ceiling cannot be painted in blue? I heard people said that if it was painted in blue, it is as if we are under the water and we will have difficulty in breathing (financial stress, family problems.......eg) Generally, blue is generally water element under I-Ching concept, having water over you is like you are drowned under water. That is the general symoblic meaning. That is why for roofs of the house it is inauspicious to have blue/gray roof colour. But ultimately, whether or not the colour is good for the room also depends a lot on the flying star luck of the area. Generally, some stars benefit from havin…

1. If one wants to try to concieve, but unable to, Feng Shui can be used to aid in this attainment. 2. Frankly, for those who have limited knowlege and want to DIY to achieve above, will really have to be on par with a professional Feng Shui consultant's knowlege. 3. Again, let me remind users that this is a Free GENERAL advice forum and not a Free SpecificFeng Shui Consultation forum. It is so easy to give dates of birth and .... wait for an answer to drop down from? Quote: Anonymous wrote: We plan to paint our home ( present it is dry white). What color shade can we paint so that it welcomes a new born who is yet to concieve.

Dear Jen, It is best to go for clay coloured roof tiles or even red/maroon. There was once, a client who used to have clay coloured roof tiles. Because of the numerous leaves that had fallen on the roof, and algae growth on it, the roof `turned' greenish. Fortunately, this house `looks like a crab' or has a profile of a crab. The owners became very successfully and prospherous. However, the owners subsequently got the roof cleaned and things was not the same again. The green algae grown is akin or symbollic of `wealth accumulation'. Overall, locally and overseas, it is common to find green roof tiles especially for temples. For a house tht has e.g. blue or grey roofs; blu…

Dear Anon, Nntp Guest wrote: My living room is a west room and all walls are currently painted white. The room is too white, especially the West wall, which is the largest wall (quite large). I want to paint it and was hoping to paint it red -- is this a big no-no? What color should I use? The safest colour or most neutral colours to use is always white. This is because white is Metal. And most sectors that requirecorrection in flying star often requires theuse of Metal. So it is the safest colour to propose or suggest wheneverwe have no idea or do notwant to consider the flying stars. Bright Red(Fire) orBright Yellow (Earth) colours should always be avoid when you…

Hi, Colours are secondary to Feng Shui. For example, it is best to get the `basics' correct e.g. to have a good house situated on a good site etc... You can consider colours `nice to have' but not of primary importance. More importantly, choose a colour of the car that you like. I have read that there were some studies conducted (forgot the source) but one study mentioned that bright red cars are prone to accident. One reason is because the colour of the car blend with the brake lights and was not noticeable. This is before many new cars and countries require a third brake light especially at the back glass window or bonnet. So, in the past, it would be " foolish" if one…

Dear Anon, 1.It is always best to understand each concept or theory in order to have a good grasp or proper foundation to help us achieve success. 2. The first thing that comes to my mind when you mentioned Gua or Kua is: 2.1 What is it based on? When we first try to apply this we need to provide an input. For Gua or kua numbers : we merely need our year of birth. However, contrast this carefully with the inputs needed for ba zi analysis. For ba zi (Pillars of destiny) we not only need to have the Year of birth, but also at least the Month, Day of birth. And if we can, try to also use our hour of birth. 2.2 So what is so different with these two concepts? We can tell at a…

Dear Anon, "From what I've read so far, every room is in the wrong place, lighting is bad, beds face wrong way - I am overwhelmed and don'tt know where to start! " My personal advise is that if you are doing Feng Shui on your own, not to do it in a real `hurry'. For those who want to do it immediately should consult a competent Feng Shui practitioner. Otherwise, if you want to do it on your own shoul spent time understanding at LEAST the following MAIN TOPICS:- 1. Shapes and Form 2. Compass Schools: Flying Star and Eight House. Alternatively, many people have lived without ever knowing what Feng Shui is and are equally successful in their live. Some people have also …

Dear Anon, Usually there are two ways of looking at the colour scheme of a bedroom or room:- A simplistic view:- This is by way of checking the family member's ba zi element and strength. For example, if the child or person occupying the bedroom is a weak water person, then the best colour for the bedroom is based on two colours:- 1. Metal (white or gold) 2. Water (blue, black or grey) In the above example, the room can be painted in neutral white. And curtains or bedsheets in blue or say grey, in colour. In a higher dimension of Feng Shui, the Flying star Feng shui is also combined to look at the bedroom. For example, say the person who is staying in the bedroom…

Dear Kaushal, Since you are a weak fire person, the best element here is wood element i.e. green or brown. The next best colour is fire i.e. pink, purple or red. The controlling element for fire are: 1. Metal to control the wood which is your production element. 2. Water to destroy fire. (avoid using this combination unless the card turns out to be all RED.) Here, for example, the `trick' is to use black font (black represents water element). However, since the card is small, you can chose colors based on the above. Do remember that the Five Elements concept is about seeking a balance also. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, You brought up an interesting question. 1. Yes, flowers can be categorised into the various elements. Since most flowers are circular, some FS practitioners may classify them as metal element. But often, the colour of the flower - is often what many FS practioners - determine their element. 2. For many plants that does not often flower, then the leaves are looked at to try and fit them into a specific element. 3. Frankly, all the above are considered `peanuts' Feng Shui or not so important. 4. More importantly, we should look at the concept of Yin and yang. This must be in harmony. And under the Five Elements concept, the most effective is a blend of all Five e…
