Dear Julie, 1. In my opinion, I would classify the case of a bedroom or master bedroom above a garage as " commonsense approach ". 2. Before, we start jumping or worrying too much, the main rationale why some consider this bad is because a vehicle below the bedroom may inadvertenly `catch' fire. But... wait.... how often does a stationery car catch fire? 3. This is similiar to the situation of a bedroom above a kitchen. Although there is a slim chance of a fire in a kitchen. But statistically, it is in my opinion, much less than a vehicle accident. It is similar to air-plane accidents. It has been statistically proven that travelling in aeroplanes are relatively safe. M…

Dear Aloysius Chia, Aloysius Chia wrote: Reason being if a person do not have a good chinese name (after analysis) but with good ba zi and staying in a good feng shui house, will his bad chinese name affect him. I have confusion over the above 3 combination as you may not have a good ba zi but a good feng shui house will assist you in many ways but will a good chinese name help too. A good name does help you in some way to boost up what you lack in your ba zi. However, it is not 100% necessary to bring you a great deal of luck change compared to the Feng Shui. A person's luck is affected by Heaven, Earth and Human luck. So my ranking would be:- 1) Earth Luck / Feng …

A Dreamcatcher is the Native American way to guard dreams. It gathers bad dreams during the nightime hours to be cleared away the next morning at sunrise. It is usually placed in the bedroom above your bed. Most people use it n childrens rooms to protect them from bad dreams during the night. As for having a small one in the car, it may have to do with dreams involving a car accident that they don't wat to have anymore or we just think it looks neat up their by the mirror.

That is very usefull, thank you very much. Yours sincerely

Dear SM, S M wrote: Which directions should I use for placing feng shui cures? for egs, the direction for career is north, where as in the bagua the front middle portion is for career, (which as per my house is east). Which is should I use to place the cures for enhancement?So for egs, for career, where should I place my cure??? Frankly, Feng Shui should be applied in a wholistic manner rather then just to find which is my wealth, career, health etc. Then seeking ways to enhance individually. Improving one's feng shui is simply firstly knowing about like what is the kind of given luck, enhacing your earth luck, and finally your human luck. A. Given Luck (Heaven Luck) …

Dear Bansari, Bansari shah wrote: We have same wooden beam in my kids room too. which one works better 1) bamboo flute or 2) wooden support. Thanks for your advice. Bansari Generally, these are the two common ways to cure the beam problem. Both are equally effective. So can't tell you which is better. However, from design point of view the two wooden support looks less like feng shui cure and can add some decorative effect. However, if you really want the most effective method would be to build a false ceiling. From feng shui point of view, if you can no longer see the threat it no longer becomes a problem. So really, the most effective is to build a false ceiling to co…

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

Cecil, We moved into our new house last April. Two month after, the house across the street was completed with a two-door garage which is on the left side of the that house and has a point roof directly pointed to our front door. I just read a Feng Shui book and learned that roof is so called "Poisoned Arrow". Please help us to know what we should do. Many thanks, Jim

Dear Anon, There are two types of `gourd':- 1. The first is called simply as "Gourd". The equivalent here is called the water-melon in the west. In the Chinese province of Canton or in Hong Kong, with predominantly Cantonese speaking dialect group. Never give the water-melon as a present as the word "Xi Gua" is = water melon. The word "Xi" signifies death. 2. In this message, you are most likely to refer to the bottle-gourd or in Mandarin called "hu-lu". The bottle-gourd is linked to a Toaist's object. In Chinese symbolism, it is a replica of heaven and earth joining (due to the two spherical shape.) On the Chinese Lunar calendar: 5th day of the 5th month; which is the f…

Dear Anon, No, generally, L Box is usually made up of "light materials" like gypsum board. And close to flat. Unlike a concentrated beam that often needs to support a structure. Thus, in my opinion, it is just a perception, then a real issue. For example, some say that a double-decker bed is not good. Because, sleeping on the lower bunk is not favourable. However, it is very common since the 1930's for many people to sleep on a double decker or bunk bed. Notice that it is one flat piece and not a concentrated beam. In the 1930's till to-date, many have entered universites, stayed in dormitories and have also sleep on double decker beds. No significant issues in heal…

Dear Cecil Many thanks for the reply. To be very frank, all this while I thought our hse facing is NE. Since last year all by sudden our son's health was affected I did not follow-up the fengshui but yet I do support your forum. Looks like now its more refreshing course again for me. I'm sorry if I'm asking too much of it.I have a question thatneedyour guidence. Since our house gua 1 Kan (North3) Excellent and main door NE2(Spook) compare the breadwinner gua 2 (Kun).North direction is his Death but NE is his Prosperity does that mean the house is not suitable to him. Lately, our business was affected too. As I know bazi is to involved into it. The business was involved…

1. In the past, careers can easily be categorised without hesistation. 2. Nowadays, especially with multi-skills involved, one has to find out what is one's major job function. 3. However, in today's world roughly all occupations could be classifed as under:- 3.1. What industry is it in? 3.1.1 For example: Hospital is considered wood element; IT as water element; Real Estate as earth element etc... 3.2. What is the major job specification? If one is doing sales or marketing than it is fire element. While customer relations is related to earth etc... 4. The above, will show that in today's modern job scope; in general, the industry and job scope are taken into consid…

Hi, Most of us understand that many in the West associate the horse shoe with good luck. In traditional Feng Shui, this relates more towards the `profile' of a land. For example, if you have the opportunity to see a Chinese burial site, you will see that each traditional gravesite has a " horse shoe " i.e. if you have a topview of a gravesite, it looks like a horse shoe. Why is this so? If you can visualise, the horse shoe looks like a protective backing or solid backing protecting the entire gravesite. Similiarly, under the Shapes and Form School - the Four symbolic animals, you will notice that many Chinese cities were in the past built on this premise. For example Can…

You have to either DIY or get yourself a competent geomancer.

Hi, I had written this short article in the past: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/pakua.htm 1. We are trying to romanized all words used in the website and the correct term for Pakua is Ba Gua. (Pakua is a Hokkien term - a dialect of the Chinese). 2. Please do not be mistaken an ordinary mirror with a Ba Gua Mirror. An ordinary mirror is considered `Yin'. Too much of the mirror will create a too yin environment. 3. Please read the above article and you will understand the difference between: The First Heaven and Last Heaven Ba Gua and their use. Warmest Regards, Cecil

These are some considerations: 1. Both Flying Star and Eight Mansions belong to the same School. 2. They belong to the Compass School. 3. What you mentioned has more to do with technique(s). 3.1. For example, when you say "the most bright and view frontage" this is a precusor to trying to use which sector to PLOT a flying star. 4. Since both Flying Star and Eight mansions belong to the compass school; and both depend on one single entity: the MAGNETIC North. 5. Therefore, how can they differ when we need to match both onto a layout that has ONE single NORTH marking on it. 6. Therefore, one should not confuse upon the technique to determine the facing direction of the Fl…
