General Help

Hi Robert I understand that my wealth element is wood. So, does it help if I have some small potted plants in my working place? What other advice would you give? My house is also painted green (majority) as advised by Cecil as this colour and blueareconsidered in harmony with all the members of my family, i.e. strong earth dragon, strong metal rabbit, weak water pig and weak wood monkey. Does this (painting) help in my wealth luck? Cecil also advised that it's better for us to fly to Period 8 East 2/3 facing.We have repainted our house and also invited the lion dance to perform at our house during the Chinese New Year. While our main entrance is located at the Northwes…

Yes, in my opinion, since there is a really defined RECTANGLE or SQUAREISH outline; The bedroom therefore sticks out like a sore-thumb. This is truly a classic case of "Ifanyone does not see it as a PROTUSION"; but rather think that there are missing corners; please take out a gun and shoot yourself in the feet. (You deserve it)

Dear Master Cecil, Happy Chinese New Year to you. I miss the drumming and lion dance since leaving Singapore 20yrs ago, its quiet here with giant kangaroos dancing instead, and thawed imported expensive thai durians and HongKong fortune cookies from supermarket, never quite the same celebratory chi! I am amazed by the depth of fengshui ancient knowledge that I only recently felt guided to read u. And research books etc. maybe it is Master Lao Tzu that had been in my dreams trying to wake me up to the truth of our existence as the unnameable dancing TAO! Then I stumbled upon your impressive website and warms my heart to discover you are from Singapore! I am hoping if you c…

Dear Tien Sze Thank you for attaching a sketch of your room. Please see below:- It is best to avoid placing wind chimes at sectors that are considered `too yin'. In Flying Star, its numerology can share light to whether it is yin at certain sectors. The two most problematic sectors are: North-East (Devils gate) and South-West (Devil's back door). Where possible try to avoid (be careful) it at these two sectors and also at West. 1. Feng Shui is about priority and sensibility (commonsense). 2. I am sad to say that, recently, some people who called me enquiring on Feng Shui audit asked me whether, I would recommend placement of beds at `weird' or odd locations. …

1. Still possible to be a B. As nowadays TV sets are thin. 2. Best to use a standard altar or if not; most important the table top is 126cm or 49 3/4 inches is ideal

http://forum.geomancy.net/wbimages/smiles/icon_biggrin.gifThank you for the information it is very useful, but I also heard that a clock placed in one of the directions can bring in good energy. Is this true or have I been misled?

Dear Anon, 1. A lot of people face difficulties when their desk is in front of a window with a beautiful sea view behind them. Choosing a low or back cabinet, if possible, is usually the best solution. 2. Another option is to position the desk in a way that allows for proper support, like against a wall, while facing a more favorable direction. 3. It's better to sit in this setup rather than having your back against a door or other less fortunate locations. 4. In these situations, one might have to consider other factors like luck, especially the Feng Shui of the home. Warmest Regards, Cecil +++ In Summary When setting up a de…

This sample shows an actual Can or Cannot Buy comparison of two different units in two different condos. It so happens that the male breadwinner's Eight House chart is identical to the wife's chart. And this family is interested in two different units. And seeking advice as in which unit is better. An individual chart for each home has been done. But for confidentiality; it is not shown, here. I am only showing the Eight House sector by sector analysis of each unit.

Dear Esther, Knocking the door The idea here is to seek the "spirits" permission to enter the home. But, frankly, not many people does this sort of thing. In fact, it is better not to do so, based on symbolism. Knocking could alternatively seem to "knock" away one's luck even before entering the home. Well, I hope, that by now, you should have a good idea of what to do. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Frankly, you must have a misconception of a Ba Gua (Pakua) mirror. 2. Do you really know what actually the ba gua mirror is (are) used for? 3. Traditionally, for the Chinese it is used under two main reasons : 3.1. Ba Gua mirrors with the 8 trigram markings on the outside with or without mirror is meant to scare away "evil spirits". There are many variants including those with the twin door gods, and all types of mirror or non-mirror in the middle of this ba gua. 3.2. To deflect sha qi or poison arrow. And the concave one is to "replace" the missing corner.

Dear James, Apologise for the late reply, this mail was apparently not sent to my e-mail account. Personally, I feel that there is actually no need to purchase special amulet or ornaments for yourself or your home. It is equally effective to use any simple remedy, so long as it suits your personal element. For example, if you are a weak water, then using metal (such as any necklace, etc) would bring you luck. So I feel that it is more important to suit and enhance your element rather then to believe in a special sort of ornaments. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Leena, Leena Abraham wrote: In our flat (home) we got a fish tank. We kept it left side (middle of theroom)of the sitting cum dining room. Please advise me the best place for a fish tank at home. 1. The best location has to be determined by where your auspicious water star is found for your house facing. Please make use of the free flying star report to generate the flying star for your home. URL: http://login.geomancy.net Once you generated the report, look at your chart. In general, the best locations to place the water position is where the water star is the current or future prosperity number. So for period 7 houses, look for the star 7 (current) or star 8 …

Some homes are like an unpolished gem. Some enhancement can do wonders to this home. But for some homes, the odds may be stacked against it. As no amount of enhancements can work. Such home often have more problem areas and instead of enhancements, one may have to use more Elastoplast (plaster) to fix up!

Frankly, there are quite alot of resources on the placement of an altar. For example, a Search shows:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=15799&new=

Dear Randy, Apologise for the late response. Please read below:- Make sure it is not your death or disaster, which would cause ill health. If it is your death or disaster and you are facing problems or health problems, then it is better off to sleep parallel to the headboard. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi, It is acceptable to have a coin in the mouth and this signifies a " close mouth. " As for the dragon figurine(s):- 1. The Dragon is considered the most Yang of all animals. 2. If one's main door falls under an inauspicious sector of the Eight House one can still use a pair of Dragons (one is still ok) aimed at the main door). 3. Where possible avoid using a Five Claw dragon as it is too yang for the home. It is best to use a four claw dragon. 4. So far, a dragon with an open mouth is acceptable. In fact most of the dragons have open mouth for them to `shoot' fire. Contrast this is a hungry tiger figurine which is inauspicious. Warmest Regards, Cecil Lee

1. You can check out this link as to how others may apply their ba zi analysis. And how some maydiffer from this site:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=2&mid=23906&new= As far as we are concerned, we have adopted the best and consistent practises. Even some sites, got it wrong earlier... have revised and followed our methods. 2. I would like to inquire if anyone knows specifically which career element do Retail (Supermarket/Grocery/other Retails chains) falls in? Generally as I am thinking of venturing into the retail line, but unsure of which category to go into (fashion / food / non-food like hardware / cars? ). You can view the…

Dear Carol I do come across certain types of houses: 1. Broadly speaking, this house can be described as "entrapped." 2. The extent to which it is considered entrapped depends on several factors: 2.1 As you pointed out, it is at the same level as the other houses. 2.2 The neighboring houses are of similar height, and there are no dominant structures nearby, such as taller houses. 3. It is crucial to examine the frontage of all houses within or adjacent to this "entrapped" house. 3.1 For instance, if the house's frontage is aligned with the front house, which has a similar orientation and is approximately at the same level, the front house will benef…

Dear Glyn, 1. Frankly, based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui it is not advisable to place a bed next to the window(s): 1.1 Often, the window next to where one person sleeps could be closed. Or if open, can bring `drafts' of air to those sleeping close to the window. 1.2 A better Shapes and Form arrangement is as shown under the attachment. 1.3 Here, the bed has a back support and away from the `elements' (window). Since, you had also mentioned that there is no toilet at this location. 1.4 Is the bedroom door at the middle or at the side. This is not a main issue unless one sleeps with the legs facing the bedroom door (in this situation, it is akin to bringing out the coffin…

Dear Diane, Usually, the preferred location is in the living room. If it is placed in the living room, preference is not to raise it too high. If you have a separate room that can hold the aquarium it is equally fine. It is best not to place the aquarium behind the house or in a room behind the house. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Angelina, For a 3 / 2 base 6:- Although there is a base 6 metal element. After it exhausts #3, it will become too weak to exhaust #2. Yes, you can add metal or a wind chime here. Do note that it would be `disasterous' to use a wind chime if it happens to be in the following combination:- with 2 / 3 base 6 For such a combination, quietness or stillness is required as this combination can result in " severe " quarrels even between family members and if left uncured may result in lawsuits even within family members. This combination is particulary worse if it is in the bedroom area. It is why, if in doubt i.e. for those who try to apply cures - use 6 coins instead. Be…
