1. In my opinion, there are also several condominiums that have "similar" (although not exact layout plan) as your attachment.
2. For example, the entire development : "The Bayshore" interior layouts are "triangular" in shape. Another condo at Simei Street 3: Eastpoint green also has a "triangular" shaped layout.
3. It is impractical to correct i.e. hide all the odd shapes.
4. In my opinion; it is not automatically true across the board to generalise that everyone staying in such a layout would suffer dire consequences: It depends!
5. Most importantly each of these units will also have their own facing and sitting direction according to Flying Star Feng Shui. And fortunes would depend on such a factor. Of course besides other consideration e.g. hopefully the kitchen / stove is not at NW etc.. etc...

These are some of the considerations:- (Please refer to attachment)
1. Without considering the Eight House (4 Good / Bad - best bedhead directions) based on this concept;
2. From a Shapes and Forms point of view:-
2.1. Usually, based purely on a Shapes and Forms point of view; Postion 3 (marked in red as "Post 3") is often the most neutral or best placement.
2.2. Postion 3: In the army tactics; this is considered the best position: especially, from the bed, we can immediately see who comes into the bedroom door.
2.3. In my opinion, instictively; if you ask a survey of 100 persons; how they would place their bed-head in this bedroom; and I feel or think the majority would or may or could (should) choose Postion 3 or Post 3.
3. In some Fung Sway books, some would illustrate that it is no good to sleep in position 2; as one does not have a full view of the bedroom door. And some books may or would illustrate something like someone stealthly into the room holding an imagined knife and catching the person unawares! Worse if it a pair of love-birds on the bed; literally caught with their pants down!
3.1. Other than what was mentioned under Para 3; the sleeping direction under Position 2 may suit someone based on their eight house bed-head direction - generally, if so, OK.
4. Hmmm.. Position 2.
4.1. From a Shapes and Forms Feng Shui point of view; the main concern is the bedroom door. Inadvertenly it may slice thru the bed = considered inauspicious.
4.2. In my opinion, I consider this Position 2; FOR A TODDLER or a child; the "hearts and mind with parents" case. Why?
4.3. For us "normal" adults; we often would choose Position 1 or 2. But hardly choose Position 3; not just because the wardrope is sharing Position 3's bed-head but rather.. we are simply "normal" adults... sorry.. I am saying that if you choose Position 3; you are not "normal".
4.4. Adding a twist to this; actually for Postion 3:
4.5. Based on child psychology, often, I have the opportunity to ask a child; and some children; because they were "just" kicked out of their parents bedroom.
4.6 You see, they were sleeping with their parents all the while and their parents have decided that their child should now have their own bedroom.
4.7. Here, if you can imagine; the child might choose Position 3! Why? Because, although they were phscially kicked out of say their parents room (imagine if it is bedroom 3 in this layout); by sleeping at position 3; they can still see the parents room door (even if it is closed) and the child may feel that position 3; their hearts and mind is closest to their parents.
5. Sorry for the distraction: I clearly remember this case:
Parents; 3 children: 2 girls 1 boy. All sleeping on the 2nd storey of their home. Parents has a 3rd storey and wanted to give the junior master bedroom located at the 3rd storey. They wanted to give their only precious son his big bedroom.
The timid son says "daddy and mummy" you don't want me anymore? You want to kick me out to 3rd storey?
6. I hope your bed-head position is not similiar to those children cases I quoted *JOKE* cheers!

The morale of the story is "Sleep as long as you want with your toddler! Else, later on, even if you want to; Fat-hope!"

-Please consider these:
1. Sometimes, it may not be necessarily to get 100 marks for the theory test.
2. I always mentioned about the "Holy Trinity" of luck:
2.1. Heaven Luck = bazi or born with
2.2. Earth Luck = feng shui
2.3. Human or Man Luck = relations and even "feel good or uncomfortable" factor.
3. Many people, don't have good Heaven Luck nor Earth Luck but what they have plenty is the Human or Man Luck or feel positive or good factor.
3.1. Thus some don't havea fantastic home but have positive Human or Man luck factors. Such people can easily transcend over Earth Luck.
4. The true test of how comfortable or uncomfortable lies with the individual thus it can be very subjective: Some really don't feel good at postion 1; so why "force" them? This category may include someone asked to sleep at position 1; but too shy to say that they don't like say position 1.
5. Once someone, don't feel good about something... this is already a disadvantage.
6. But of course, some really don't mind sleeping at position 1; then most likely these people can benefit from that sector.

1 is our best direction

1. In my opinion, the renovations sounds "promising".
2. However, since you intend to do a flying star chart; it would be good to plot both Period 5 and Period 8 charts and/or focus on a specific chart e.g. Period 8.
3. Often, we will try to figure out which chart is more accurate. And hopefully see which is more accurate.
4. Attached is another method of working on e.g. a certain period but also playing the notation of other periods on the same chart. This makes it easier should we try to troubleshoot which chart is more accurate.
For example, under the attachment; the home could either be a Period 6 or 7. And so happens that a sector we are looking at has both MS#4 and WS#2 for either P6 or P7 etc.....

Hello! I just moved into a new
basement apartment in a
duplex. I am doing a flying
star chart and had some
questions as to whether some
renovations that have been
done would effect the period
of the house (or just the
basement apartment).Points to
note:1. The house was
originally built in 1959 as a
duplex with separate
entrances.2. We just moved in
1-1-2011.3. We found out that
the current upstairs neighbor
used to be the owner and sold
the house in 2006.4. The
basement apartment has
undergone several renovations
under the new ownership
including:a) enlarging
the windows in both of the
bedrooms and enclosing them
with wood boxes (standard
legality for basement
apartments so the window can
be used as a fire escape). The
walls had to be cut for this
and the ground had to be dug
and enclosed with wood.b) Also
in 2006 the new owner added
new carpet on 90% of the
floors. The ceilings and all
the walls were repainted about
the same time and the bathroom
was renovated. Then he rented
the place to new occupants who
lived here until we moved in
recently.5. Also the basement
apartment was legally
registered as a duplex at the
same time in 2006 and acquired
it's own separate address and
mailbox.Does this qualify for
a period change from 5 to
8?Thanks for your help!

These are some of the considerations:-
1. Facing and Sitting directions
1.1. When applying the Flying Star Feng Shui; the first consideration are these two factors; in particular: the facing direction.
1.2. Thus, the most common approach under Flying Star is; firstly, find out what is the star at the "mouth" or = facing direction of a home.
1.3. Thus, in general; a home facing NE has the auspicious #1. This brings some auspiciousness. But as #1 is considered as the future (future) prosperity star; it is slower to realise for that year.
1.4. A home facing NW; would have the #8 at the frontage.
2. Thus, it especially depends on the facing direction.
3. Therefore, under the above example; it would be good if the facing direction has both good period and year stars. But, it would not be too good for someone with say a facing direction of EAST next year. Where the annual star at east is the "fearsome" #5.
4. Thus, in general; this is the first time that often comes into mind; when doing an analysis with Flying Star.
5. Of course, after this step; then try to do an audit of individual sectors and look out for areas like the master bedroom etc...

In my opinion, this is out of the extraordinary.

I have seen some who stagger their door sign e.g placing them "higher and higher" but not add additional numbers other than with the intention to confuse the newspaper and delivery man. And oh! Also trying to confuse the loan shark!

Why 7? Even if the house is a period 7 house, number 7 is considered as Past prosperity number. While today 8 is the current prosperity.

Yes, usually sleeping with legs facing a window opening to the Chinese is considered inauspicious: "coffin position".

From a commonsense approach; it depends.

For example, if one lives in a low floor e.g. 1st or 2nd floor in some instances some pervert may accidentally see one's underwear etc...

The most common fix is to draw down the curtain; covering the portion, of the legs. For a condo, have to check if an opaque film can be placed onto the glass panel.

1. Another quick "dig" into my past cases and look at the attachment: of a floor plan of one of the units in the Hazel Park condominium, Singapore.
2. This development was completed in 1999. Which is roughly 10 plus years ago.
3. Both the master bedroom and bedroom 4 has almost identical toilet configuration as yourhome.
3.1 Only difference is that the passageway at the master toilet door area is more than twice that of your layout plan. Thus, even if the toilet door is at it is; it is so easy even for an elderly or disabled to enter and exit the toilet.
3.2 For this layout; do take note that it is best not to place the bed (or face) sleeping close-by to marking in red "A". As the concern is the sewerage pipe attached to the back of the toilet bowl.
4. Thus, doesn't this ten plus years old development configuration identical to your home with the exception that this is an apartment while yours is a landed property with two or more levels.
5. Again, such layouts are a dime and a dozen. Or like grains of sands on the beach... plenty..."You are not ALONE!"

Frankly, you are on the ground, you have all the available facts. Here, I really don't have much to go on.
For example, I waited for you to fix the broken link. And later, when the link was fixed; the google map was a very rough one but to me it distinctly show a home at a T-junction. And only later, you post a layout plan.....
When I comment, this is a "classic" case of a home at a T-junction.
You query me; why I called it a home at a T-junction.
Now you ask to comment on such details.
I only say your layout plan. It is just a 2-D (2 dimensional plan). AndIreally have the faintest idea ofdetails whetherdo you have adrain be it open or covered- if any; how exactly the cars come towards which part of the frontage etc.. etc...
So,frankly, howI cancomment on so detailed a question based just on your 2-D map?
The key point I mentioned earlier was "a run amok vehicle"....This is based on commonsense. And not any specific rocket science Feng Shui stuff.
Thus, hope you understand; you are on the GROUND. You are there, We are not. You make your own judgement call.
These are some of the interesting links on the same subject of a home at a T-junction:-

These are some considerations:
1. A FLAT / APARTMENT
This may be aa catch-22 question if it is an apartment or flat: as the facing direction can be interpreted in "many" ways: some geomancers say: stand inside the main door looking outwards; others the facing of the building or stack and/or the "face' is where the most yang energy comes in. If so, for an apartment: sometimes even the main door or front door may not necessarily be the facing direction. Thus, changing the main door may not be correct.
2. LANDED PROPERTY
2.1 For a landed property; in my opinion; majority of the time (especially in Singapore) where homes are back to back; it is highly unlikely that the "face" of the home is the back of the house.
2.2 However, in some other countries especially out-skirts away from the city centre; some homes may even have their facing direction; say at the back of the home e.g. a beautiful patio, dinning area looking towards a beautiful lake etc...
3. Thus, one has to make sure where is one's "facing direction". And as pointed out above; may not always be at the frontage.
4. NOW: Assuming, the main (front) door is the frontage; in my opinion, a Feng Shui expert would say; tilting the main (front) door is only TEMPORARY. Ultimately, it is still the traditional facing direction i.e. most likely standing inside the house looking out of the front door (irreguardless) whether you had tilted the front door or shifted it to the side of the home.
5. The key success factor in getting the Flying star facing and sitting direction correct is about : where the most "yang qi" comes into the home. And this is the key reason for the Flying star.
6. I repeat: Flying star is about determining where is (are/was /were) the opening or openings where "air or wind" could come into the home. And from this; we determine the Flying Star.
7. Thus, what you mentioned; changing the facing direction and then "pretend" to or "pyschologically" changing the Flying star to fit what one want's to hear is = NOT REAL. This is unfortunately; not the way Flying Star Feng Shui is / was / were designed for.
8. Thus, overall; this is like in the wildest dream: getting the earthquake to shift one's home so that the orientation SEEM's good on paper. This is frankly, akin to bluffing one's self! This is only self-defeating.

Based on the broad view of the google map; indeed your home from a MACRO level seems to fit the typical home at a T-junction. This is a fact.
It is certainly good news to hear that on a MICRO level; the traffic flow is very minimal. And that your home is set back .... etc... Thus all these are added news. We don't have the privy of such an information earlier.
Frankly, it is often not about very minimal flow of traffic. But rather; it's that the one unlikely chance that someone could be drunk or simply loose control of a vehicle and steam towards... kapum! ......that's all.
Again, looking at your interior layout plan;will solid wall and gate; again a plus point. For example many homes in the US; only have a road kerb to deter a wondering vehicle. Left-hand and right-hand drive road also ... da da da di di di...

Other considerations:
1. Three-Chinese-coins EACH
1.1. Drawing a parallel; often, we hear of geomancers giving advice to tie three-Chinese ancient coins like those with wordings: Zhao Cai Jun Bao (Invite wealth - Bring in Treasure);
1.2. A common advise is to place this set of three coins into one's purse. &/OR
1.3. Stick these three coins side by side onto say a calculator &/OR
1.4. Place the string three coins into the cashier's drawer &/OR accounts book.
2. This is no different from placing the three-coins (of course without any string) just placed side by side; onto the floor. Thus if one steps on it; one is stepping on wealth. As opposed to the 10 emperor coins.
3. In the past, whenever a foundation e.g. a bridge or even some buildings are done; one hears that a child has gone missing. Most likely, the skull would end up at one of the "pillars" of the foundation.
3.1. Thus burying the Five Treasures is simply; e.g. if one has a rectangular plot and the building is rectangular in shape; coins or "treasures" are laid at all four corners of the rectangular plot plus at the centrepoint of the rectangle.
3.2. Cantonese dialect group considers the "Five spirits" important e.g. the five spirts are: that of the North, South, East, West and Centre GOD.
4. Toaist also uses the Treasures concept. Such as the "Eight Treasures". And often, the eight treasures are often displayed : 4 by 4 on each side of a Toaist temple. The five treasures is also one the ideas or symbolism.
5. Placement of coins - thingy is more of symbolism and/or belief. Then say scientific form of Feng Shui.

Symbolism:-1.1. A set of

Under the Flying Star
association: number #3
represents wood
element1.1.2 And as the
coins are suppose to be made
of metal (copper); 1.1.3 Thus
a set of three-coins EACH
symbolises wealth : where
metal destroys wood to create
wealth (under the Five
Elements concept).1.2. A
set of 10 Emperor coins1.2.1
Thus a single row of 10
Emperor coins are often buried
e.g. below the wooden door of
the main door. Here, please
refer to Part 2: showing a
sheet containing the names of
the ten emperors of the
Chinese Qing (Ching)
dynasty.1.2.2. Thus when the
coins are buried in a row; it
symbolises continuity e.g. 10
emperors of the Qing dynastic
implies a long reign by them.
And it also symbolises: a
continous string of wealth and
longevity (long reign via the
Qing dynasty).2. Thus, based
on the above argument, it is
not prudent to separate them
out into7 emperor coins
and 3 others (a set of three
coins each). Thus, best to
bury the 10 coins at the main
entrance.3. And a set of three
coins EACH can be buried (in
any multiples of three.) Here,
again there are no rules set
in concrete. 3.1 As STEPPING
on three coins each represent
wealth; often, immediately
after the main door;a
set of three coins EACH (more
no issue) is buried into the
floor before the tiles are
laid. The idea, here is that
when we step into the house,
and say if we step on a set of
three coins (placed side by
side) it symbolises stepping
on wealth - coming into the
home.4. The concept of "Five
treasures". Again the set of
three coins can be placed at
all four "corners" of the home
and one set in the middle of
the home. For example, much
like the boundary of a
country, a home usually should
have "four corners or more".
Thus, one corner is the far
end of say the living room
corner; the other end is the
master bedroom and it's
furthest corner; and other
corners. This represents
placing wealth at "North,
South, East, West and
Centrepoint". Each room can if
one wants to; place the "five
treasures".5. As I have
emphasised earlier; there are
no hard or fast rule; some get
help to identify the 10
emperor coins and then bury
them (standing outside of the
house) looking inwards from
the 1st Qing emperor placed on
the right most to the last
Qing emperor to the left most.
Here, it coincides with the
traditional way of reading
text from left to right.
Again, if random order; still
ok.6. There are more rulesets.
Best to seek advice from your
geomancer.

6. There are more rulesets. Best to seek advice from your geomancer.

These are some information:-
1. Do take note that all the coins that we purchase in most of the shops are considered as "replica" coins. We can say that the coins are non-geniune.
2. Majority of the coins are considered as "replica-ancient" Chinese coins and metallic in nature often containing copper and some other mixed alloy e.g. bronze etc..
3. When purchasing such "replica" coins; best to purchase coins with metallic content such as those mentioned under Para 2. There are some coins which are made from plastic. Don't buy these for coin laying procedure.
4. Other civilizations mint coins that usually have a sidewith the head: such as an emperor or even a king or queen as in the UK coins - currently with Her Royal Highness Elizabeth Regina II.
5. Thus, such coins can easily be differated with : Heads side = the side with a figure head on it. And the reverse is automatically called the Tail-side.
6. All Chinese ancient coins have: ONE side = Wordings. And the reverse side = scripture / picture or even the Eight trigram.
7. Technically, we may call the wordings side perhaps = HEADS. My argument is that in a specific dynastic; the wordings would signify the emperor's reign. So, call it heads.
8. In my opinion, automatically, the reverse with either pictorial scribbings or eight trigram = "flower side" perhaps should be called the Tail-side.
9. Chinese ancient coins have many designs. Some of the photos; can be found under this forum when I had visited the Shanghai museum a few years ago.
10. Usually wordings on the Chinese coins either refer to the reign of an emperor or is carved with auspicious sounding phases like: Zhao Cai Jun Bao = Invite Wealth; Bring Treasure.
11. Attached, please find the wordings on a sheet where ten coins representing each of the 10 Qing dynastic emperors - were suppose to be attached to the sheet. By the way, a few years ago this 10 set of coins sell for SGD $2.50. Today, you bought it for SGD $3.50. Blame it on inflation!

1. Other considerations include information from this link:-
http://forum.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-under.htm
2. For example, it is never wise to have a bed directly above a sewerage pipe.
3. Thanks for your picture. Frankly, of course, in a perfect world; one should'nt even have a sewer pipe cum sewer junction / man-hole at all!
4. But we all live in a real world. In Singapore, like every other country; often sewerage man-holes are either at the front or the back of the home. No choice as these are put in place by a developer.
5. Of course it would be perfect or nice if it runs behind the home.
6. In this real world (not make believe); do check how the sewerage pipe runs into the home. Hopefully, it does not run along areas where one may be lying down e.g. on a floor or directly above the living room flooring or a guest room at the ground level.
7. Otherwise, even if one say pray to GOD, the man-hole cover would not disappear. I believe "I dream of genie" girl will also say.. sorry... "too bad".. NEXT....

Thank you so much Cecil, for

Luckily all four family

that we have made sure to

concern is our wealth.
I
recently read in our feng shui
books that sewer drains
resemble loss of
wealth, and driveways that
slope away from the home
resemble loss of
wealth.
Our home has both, a sloping
driveway and a large sewer
drain at the end of the
driveway.Is this driveway/
sewer combination
bad Feng Shui? Are there
any Feng Shui cures or fixes
if it is bad? I
will try to attach pictures of

A major key success factor is to apply Holistic Feng Shui.

Such as http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Concept_of_Maximizing_Marks

Applying proper Feng Shui is not about taking short cuts nor looking at or staring at the main door for an answer.

Always remember: Can a run-away car run amok and smash into the premises (garden) home and pose a problem?
