Dear Anon, 1. This depends on whether the main door is facing your auspicious direction. For example, if the slant is facing your Prosperity sector, this is better than say changing the door to it's original position if the door faces one of your inauspicious sectors. 2. The above is one of the techniques some FS practioners use to re-orientate the main door to an auspicious sector. 3. Some FS practioners even go to the extent of advising all their clients to slant their door if it happens to be facing NE (Devil's gate). Some go further and ask their clients to change the door if it also faces SW (Devil's backdoor). Here it depends and this should be looked into inconjun…

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.

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 …

Dear Anon, Quote: Anonymous wrote: When determining the directions in a room, do we just read from a compass? Coz I read that in feng shui, 0deg is the south.This makes me think that I need to invert the readings of a compass. Try not to be confused with the Chinese Luopan often used by Feng Shui practitioners where not exactly "0 degrees = south" but rather, the Chinese Luopan has a marking South-North. If you do not personally use the Chinese Luopan to take a compass reading, frankly, and for the purpose of convenience, many Feng Shui websites, books and calculators have already, properly made it easy for the lay person. Thus, for example, in this website, yo…

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

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

1. Please note that the term that you had used should not be called "FAKE" or geniune. BUT rather, ALL Feng Shui products should be called "MODERN Commercial Products". 2. Thus majority of Feng Shui products are modern inventions and NOT fakes! Only antiques can be called geniune or fakes. 3. Many Feng Shui products are often symbolic. Thus, things like ancient or replica I-Ching coins e.g. those round coins with square holes may be used. Thus you can't call these coins fakes, unless someone tries to sell you one and you later found out that it is fake. 4. Thus, some symbolic traditional items that are often used by Feng Shui practitioners may include:- 4.1 Hulu or bo…

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

1. The most recent reply to similar question as yours:- 2. How To Determine Facing Of HDB Flat? http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=28386&new= 3. And also, there are already, tons and tons of materials on this subject matter. 4. Use the search feature on the top left frame of this forum for simple search lines like: " House facing" or "facing direction". 5. Never post a paragraph and ask me, right there and then to propose a "correct" facing direction. Here, I strongly recommend; toss a coin.

From your illustration, the pond looks like it is located at South-West

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: If the apartment is on the 2nd floor, so it will still be considered as facing south even though the main door falls, let's say, in the south-west sector of the house. Am I right? Yes, that means your home will be facing south. This will be taking the facing of the house based on flying star which allows you to extend the macro flying star scope to even the surrounding area of the house. Taking the main door from the South-West sector from the center of the house is also acceptable but that will be more micro feng shui that applies to the house only within the structure of the house. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET …

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…

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.

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) …

For practical reasons, this is a last resort. So long as the stove is not on the opposite side of the wall, this is still ok. No issue with cabinets on the opposite side of the wall to store kitchen items.

Thank you very much.

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 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 Sophia, 1. Traditional Feng Shui has it's roots to the Five elements concept. 2. In my past forum messages, authentic Feng Shui has to do with both the Five elements concept and numerology based on say the Flying Star Feng Shui numbers. 3. Thus, whether the question of using an 8 wooden windchime is acceptable or not -- there is frankly no right or wrong answers. It is often due to one's interpretation and understanding or belief. 4. Much of many of the component of luck is "inter-twined" between Earth luck and Human luck! 5. This is because human beings are unique. And fortunately or unfortunately, most of us either have to be "swindled" or seem to think that p…

Dear Master Cecil: There is a sharp edge remotely pointing at the windows in the "back" of my house. This sharp edge does not fall inside the direct range of my house; nonetheless, I am able to see this sharp edge through windows. Does this sharp edge pose a threat to my house? Is a day curtain helpful in this situation? Regards, Jen

Hi Cecil, According to your reply to Peter Chen re:5 yellow, could you please explain what you meant by 5 yellow not necessarily be at the North this Lunar year? If I am not mistaken, 5 yellow will indeed stay there for the duration of the new year,although this doesn't mean everyone will be affected by it. Even if that sector of a home has other prosperous stars and the 5 yellow doesn't affect the lucky occupants, wouldn't it be necessary for one to be cautious and may be take some precautions like putting metal coins there. (to be on the safe side.) Thanks

Warmest regards Kesaven
