General Help

Dear Master, Thank you very much for your reply. I am getting better now. About my flat, I don't understand and know how to find out the position as per your advise. Myflat main dooris facing Southwest (210 deg from center of my flat to the main door) at 9th floor. I think the facing of my main doorshouldn't consider the "mouth" of the house? Just perpendicular to this main door is a long stretch of window facing Northwest. Should this be considered as my flat facing (sitting Southeast facing Northwest) ? I have my house analysis in this web but just don't understand how to remedy please help. Regards, Jian Rong

These are some considerations: 1. Often, what seems to be missing corners may be the reverse i.e. a protusion or protusions. 2. Frankly, verbal descriptions like I have missing cornders at SW and SE. 2.1. Even within this simple sentence; there are lots of unknows: 2.2. How large a missing corner, whether the missing corner straddles between one true cardinal point(s) and or 2.3. How large is the missing corner(s) 2.4. Is the missing corner narrow or fat or thin or what...??? 3. Seriously, so far, I believe no geomancer or let's say in a doctor's situation: 3.1. Your posting is like calling up a doctor to describe some medical situation. What is even more pressing is, …

Dear Ann, Thank you for the information. Currently, it is difficult to know what is the actual cause. This is because, only a full audit and especially a site survey would be able to pin-point what is actually `wrong'. There are a few points: 1. Usually, due to time dimensions, unauspicious stars could have `flown' to that sector of the bedroom. 2. An indirect result could also be the clearing of trees. I am not suggesting anything but, if dogs become `noisy', without apparent reason, more observations may be required on this. 3. Do stand at the window, and see if there are any poison arrow aimed at the house. Especially, a lone lamp post which may now become prominent, b…

Dear Kathlee, It is only bad when placed in locations where there is inauspicious flying star (which will create more inauspicious influence). It is also bad for bedroom when the mirror can be seen when you are say lying on the bed or when you get out of the bed. This is partially due to the "shock" you may get when you first get up still not awake. Seeing an image of yourself can create a shock which is bad for yourself. Otherwise, having a mirror which is used say when dressing or inside the wardrobe hidden when not in used is not really an issue. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi Master Cecil, thanks so much for your prompt reply. It certainly ease my mind Have a good weekend! Best Rgds, AT

Dear Kyra, 1. In my view, when we are uncertain whether a piece of advice will be effective, it is wise to refrain from placing the object in that particular location. 2. This aligns with the commonsense principles of Feng Shui. 3. For instance, many of us have encountered the notion that having a bedroom situated above a kitchen is considered 'inauspicious.' The reasoning behind this is based on common sense. In the event of a fire in the kitchen, smoke and flames rise, which would be unfavorable, especially if a fire were to occur there. 4. Likewise, if we position a mirror, such as one made of glass or silicone, near a heat source, the glass may not…

Hi, The Peony in Mandarin is called Mu Dan. It was called the Queen of Flowers. In the " Book of Odes ", amorous youths and maidens give each other this flower. In very ancient times the flower was called Shu Yao. The Peony flower comes in various colours. But the most popular colour is red. White peony flower signify the young. Young girls with qualities of wit and beauty. In a folk song, it is said that when the peony blooms, its perfume smell spreads over a vast area and this attracts butterflies (which symbolises a young man.) While the peony flower represents the girl). Overall, a peony in a picture represents the season Spring. If it is pictured together with the h…

Dear Peggy, Apologise for the late reply. As this message is sent anonymously it is not sent to the mailing list, and we do not login to the forum every other day. Depending on the situation. It is sometimes better to shift to a better room. It is ok for Feng Shui. Most importantly, your bedroom should in the room which is in your 4 good location. This would be better then staying in rooms which is not under your 4 good directions. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Lui Seong Yee, Lui Seong Yee wrote: Recently we are given a jade figurine of Dragon and Phoenix by my in law. The problem is when we get the figurine out of the box, the right wing of the phoenix was broken. Generally, for the most Chinese, it is generally inauspicious to receive receive anything that is broken.Whether it is a plate or figurines or decorative items. Nothing you can really do about it except probably not to display it. As it is not really good to display something that is broken.

These are some considerations:- 1. Main Door facing Door of Bomb Shelter in condo 1.1. The main consideration under symbolism in Feng Shui is that the Main door should not be facing a staircase that leads down to the lower unit. 1.2. For example, when say the bomb shelter door is (always) open and from one's main door one can see the staircase; then this is not ideal. 1.3. But, based on building regulations; the good news is that all these doors must remain shut at all times. If so, and also even if the door is opened fully; it opens to only the landing (of the staircase) then this is a non-issue. 1.4. If so, it is equivalent to one's main door facing another unit's ma…

Dear Master Cecil, Thank you once again for your prompt reply to my queries. Im going to do some homework though I have 1 month and 20 days to fully avail these house. Im going to get in touch with you soon. More power! Thanks Best regards.

Frankly, in my opinion, having done many (many, many) audits over the years; homes that range from "Quantum Leap" in Feng Shui to even "average" Feng Shui homes can sustain "such so called inauspicious" circumstances. Thus, honesty, the saying goes: "It depends!" No two homes are the same. Some homes (landed properties)may have the same layout, size and design but they are never on the same foundation of a plot of land. Therefore, we should be looking at each INDIVIDUAL case, for fair comment on each of them. For example, in some past forum messages, even under the Flying Star Feng Shui, if there is a cluster of "Yin" Flying Star numbers in a sector, and if this bedr…

These are some of the considerations:- 1. The most important consideration is where does the true cardinal point of NW? In this example the true cardinal point is at purple marking "A". 2. While again in this example, the range of NW covers until the dotted line at purple marking "B". 3. Thus, the key consideration; is not just reading a few paragraphs and by default; it has to be this or that. 4. In this example, the NW is also close to the main entrance door area. So, for this attachment (I have blanked out many details) instead of placing "items" or colours; for this year, this owner simply when at home or after a rain; opens the main door to let good qi follow in. 5. …

Please see attachment. This layout is preferred over the other one. As the bed is parallel to the bedroom walls. However, in a larger bedroom, your second alternative "slanting the bed" is practised by some Geomancers. Overall, do check that the toilet bowl particularly the piping is not sharing the same wall as your "face" when you sleep. There is a cause of concern of cancer in such a situation.

Thank you and sorry for the multiple post. What is the best material for office furniture? Is metal, plastic, wood ok?

Dear Vivi, 1. My earlier comments are very general. 2. In my opinion, the statement has to do more with my personal preference. 3. Actually, black represents the water element. (Water element is either blue, black or grey). 4. In general, since water element does not increase or aid bad earth sickness elements. As compared to yellow or fire element. Especially yellow / beige. Particularly for houses under Period 7. And bedrooms are especially in the EAST. And in some layouts, South is equally inauspicious. 5. In my entire life, I have never used black pillows, therefore, have not considered using it in the future. Personally, I do not mind driving a black car, but, not us…

Frankly this is pretty common, and it depends. In Singapore many estates have such a situation e.g. Siglap hill area, Hume Avenue, Yio Chu Kang, River Valley, Dunearn Road, Holland Rd areas. In fact, just about anywhere. Thus, many factors including how the home was built. In general, you are quite correct to say that earth luck (or poor luck) is usually strongest at the ground level.

Dear Geral, Ideally, rooms including bedrooms should be either rectangular or " square " shaped. Sorry, I am not sure what you meant by "Meat Cleaver". Do you mean that the L-shaped represent a `meat cleaver'. If one has an L-shaped room e.g. the living room "joined" to the dining room forming an `L' shape, the best situation is to place a `partition' dividing the rooms into `two rooms'. Similarly if your bedroom is `L' shaped, try to `partition' it e.g using a screen etc.. to create `two square/rectangular' shaped rooms. If your room is `odd' shaped e.g. a circular room, usually one can built cupboards and `change' the room into a square and rectularly shaped. Warmest Re…

1. In my opinion, what comes first depends really on when one gets to know Feng Shui and applies it. 2. Thus, there are cases where many after understanding the concept of the Eight House and Flying Star, have sought to analyse a home, first before purchasing it. 3. Thus, if one has good knowlege of both concepts, many persons or by seeking help from a professional FS practitioner can help to identify which homes are better overall. 4. Thus your question sounds simplistic: " The chicken or the egg, first?" Instead of, going into a deep blackhole to "argue" whether the chicken came first or the egg? There is such thing as apply both concepts together! 5. Both the Gua …

Normally, 6 ancient coins are used to `exhaust' a bad Five Earth element or to destroy the Wood. I can quite understand the Five coloured beads as these usually represent the Five elements. As for a small bell and the Five Chinese coins (minus the tassel - which is considered `insignificant'), I cannot really comment on these other than if one considers the number 5. Here, I believe, it is more a decorative piece to symbolise the number 5 rather than to represent 5 " Metal ". As a general guideline, if one do not know what to do with it, then avoid hanging it. As the saying goes better safe than sorry. Warmest Regards, Ceci Lee
