Dear Anon, For such items, if not in use should preferably be kept in a storeroom. Under Flying Star Feng Shui, it is best to avoid to avoid a soild object such as the grinding stones at bad earth sectors e.g. #5 or #2. Do not want to inflame these sectors with such a "large boulder". Quote: Anonymous wrote: # I have one of those old style grinding stones - a wok-like solid shape with a hole in the middle, where one puts the grain to be ground with the help of a stone pestle. We no longer use it; we kept it because we planned to use it as a display stand, but for now it's just there because we can't make up our mind what to do with it. Does keeping stones like these in any particular direction create any positive/negative effects? Yes, external environment can exert an influence on us. Quote: # My present house is a period 7 house. When we shifted here in 1986, things started getting much better for us. Though our bldg. was part of a 4-bldg. group, the space around was open. Then, in late 2003, a compound wall (with a spiky fencing atop it) was constructed enclosing the 4 bldgs, and the compound floor got pink tiles. Suddenly, the whole dynamics changed - there was constant noise because the kids kept playing all day, and late into the night as well - and only in front of our bldg. (N-NW facing), because the residents of the other two bldgs. stop them from playing there and push them our side - resulting in us having to constantly tell them to give us some respite which does not go down well. Also, differences started up between residents over the use of the compound and other facilities, with some residents ganging up together and forcing their point of view on others, subtle manipulation and the like. The building itself feels blocked and every kind of noise echoes, creating stress. Personally, the negativity is affecting us so much and draining our motivation and energy, we are looking to shift. Can house energies really go this negative because of environment changes/renovation? I have mentioned previously that there can be certain advantages or better Flying Stars for certain Period 8 homes vs other Period 8 homes. For example, those who belong to the west group could look or examine homes that are NE or SW facing. While east group persons could look at South or maybe East facing homes. In addition, external, internal factors need also be looked into. Quote: Anonymous wrote: # Re. buying a new house, if a slightly older house, most probably it would be a period 7 house.

Specially about period 8, because I read that this period houses have a combination of 2+5 stars in the same compass sector and so are more negatively influenced. Any place on your website to look all this up or if you would please detail. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Karen, If you have around 3 "sha qi" then, usually there are two alternatives: 1. a six-hollow rod wind chime 2. a convex mirror Either one can be used at the balcony area.

Also in the garden of my downstairs neighbor (3 floors down) is a tall evergreen tree -- its pointy top is also in the line of view from the livingroom and balcony.

Dear Rahman, Sorry, don't get what you mean by "What happen to NE,SE and S which is conflict in interest with period 8. " One has to look at the flying star charts of each sector e.g. NE, SE and South to check for any imbalances. If there are any imbalances, try to neutralise them.

Dear Aloysius, Good Question. The idea, here is to complete or try to complete all renovations at these areas e.g. North (3killings);West (5 yellow) and NW (Grand Duke) for 2006before we move-into the home. Usually for those who purchased a new home or a resale home:- 1. Select a good date for initial opening of the main entrance door. 2. Select a good date to start renovations. Here, so long as one has not moved-into the apartment, as yet; contractors hacking or knocking or painting at North, West or NW (2006) does not matter. 3. Select a good date to move-in. What matters most is that once we moved-in, avoid doing further work at these three sectors. 2007 is near-by. So for those who do renovations or intend to do renovations under 2007, then:- For 2007:- North-East (5 Yellow) North-West-West (Grand Duke) West (3Killings) Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Aloysius Chia wrote: May I know what are the ist of things needed to know & avoid when doing renovation as I will be getting a re-sale flat in November.

Dear Brian, Under "Can or cannot buy" conditions, it is best to apply in principal the two major schools of Feng Shui, first:- a. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. Here, generally, water front property is usually acceptable. b. Compass School Feng Shui. Eight House / East-West Group & FLying Star Feng Shui Here, you have to find out whether you belong to either East or West Group. In general, if you are a west group person, then the "facing" directions worth considering are:- North-East and South-West (Better Flying Stars) (Generally, NW and West don't have as good Feng Shui as the above NE and/or SW). For what is the "facing" direction, please go to the conference "Feng Shui Tips" and read the two "sticky" messages under Facing Directions I and II. If you are an East group person, then should consider: Southand East (Better Flying Stars) (Generally,North andSouth-East don't have as good Feng Shui as the aboveSouth and/or East). Bear in mind, where is the afternoon sun. If possible, consider the above in relation to where is the afternoon sun. We are quite concerned with the afternoon sun bathing or soaking into the brickwalls. In the evening, this is the time where heat is released from the walls etc..

Dear Carolyn, In general, it is acceptable to place a water feature where there is a water star #8 (current prosperity) sector. Even if we want to place a water feature, it should also "look appropriate" at a location that is "functional" and not obstrusive to the interior decor. Without a picture or sketch, really cannot imagine the layout thus it can be on the right corner or within the sector - that's OK. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: Should it be on the right corner of that affected sector, or anywhere inside that sector?

Dear Anon, For this year, if possible (not just the 7th month) avoid painting at North-West sector or the Gand Duke of Jupiter's location. For example, he does not like people to touch (e.g. avoid painting) or disturb him (e.g. avoid drilling or renovations) at this sector. If possible, also avoid painting at West or the yearly #5 sector for this year. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: I am thinking of re-painting the whole house.

Dear Norhaidah, Usually, for us, we look at two critical areas under the Ba Zi report:- 1. Attachment file: Illustration-1.pdf Under this sample person: Male born on 7 Oct 1973 at 1pm to 2.59pm, shows an indication that his "Big luck" is against him during this period 2004 to 2013 (Age 31 to 40). For yearly and six monthly luck one can the file: Illustration-2.pdf 2.

For a salaried worker, usually we look at: 1. Earned Wealth = 3 2. Main Funds = 2 while his 4. Unexpected wealth = 0 5. Unexpected funds = 0 6. Determination = 1 7. Competitor = 2 Note: a. Authority = 6 (Equally applies to both a salaried worker and business person. While determination and competitor although applies to both a salaried worker and business person but these traits are better for a business person). b. The higher the number, the higher the "traits" or "luck". In the above example, this person is considered better off, as a salaried worker given that he has higher numbers for earned wealth and main funds as opposed to weak numbers for a business trait. His only largest number is 2 for "competitor" while the rest are either zero or 1. Each of us is said to have "suitable careers" and since this sample person is considered as a Strong Fire person, his career related with wealth is associated with Metal element. While his career related with power and authroity is associated with water career. As you are considered as a strong earth person, water career is suppose to be your career with wealth. While wood career is your power and authority. Most likely, you may not have a business person's chart (not seen your chart) but rather perhaps, more as a salaried person? If so, if this is a good luck period for you then water career or wood career are favourable. BTW (by the way) many MLM's is banned or illegal in Singapore.

Dear Anon, Most of the time, our office orientation (sitting) is constrained by either the layout of the office and the use of system furniture where we are not able to tilt our table. Only those who "own" a room may perhaps change their directions. Again, often if the furniture i.e. cabinets, sidetable and table are fixed, also difficult to change, here. However, Eight House Theory or 4Good & Bad directions has limitations, in your situation. There is no magic cure for this. Since you cannot do much, here; have to consider other situations like looking at home Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: I am currently facing my 'Death' position in the office. I cannot change the orientation of the sitting.

Dear Cheryl Usually, it is best to determine what type of wealth "corner" or sector this is. In general, if you have applied Flying Star Feng Shui; the numbers have different connotations:- 1. Mountain Star #8 = relationship, networking, luck = or auspicious mountain star. Activated with a "mountain". 2. Water Star #8 or #1 = water wealth location. Activated with a water feature 3. Base Star #8 = similar to Para 1. However, these stars must not be looked into isolation. Thus, you should have knowledge of MS#, WS# and Base# at each sector inorder to properly balance or enhance each sector. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: Dear Sir, my wealth corner is located in my death direction (NW) and my front door is located in my irritation direction (SW).

Dear Sophia, Yes, there is no issue with placing the Kwan Kong facing outwards towards the main door entrance area. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Sophia Chia wrote: 'Kwan Kong' is to place facing out towards the main door. Does that mean no doubt the 8 House is spook and 3 killing is located and no harm placing it.

Dear Jian Rong, Yes, the common approach is to place "Kwan Kong" facing (out) towards the main door. Since one is not going to pray to it; it is not necessary to "paint the eyes" anoin it. Not compulsory. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: jian rong chen wrote: Kwan kong is being place infront of many shop and houses facing the out to main door. I am thinking of getting one to place near my main door facing out.

Should we convert a home from Period 7 to Period 8? My advise is to try to chart out your home under both Periods: 7 and 8 charts. And then analyse room by room to see which is a better chart.

DearJian Rong, It may not necessarily be true that all Period 7 homes should be converted to Period 8 to enjoy better qi. For example, if your home is a North 1 (337.5 to 352.4 degrees or 345 degrees, home; You have to study your layout before committing to changing to Period 8. For example, lets say your bedroom happens to be at the North-West sector of the home. Under Period 7; NW:- MS1 WS4 B8 = Auspicious stars in particular #1 = future prosperity with #8 current prosperity. Mountain star can be activated for relationship, family luck and networking luck But under Period 8; NW:- MS4 WS3 B9 = Relationship issues: quarrels and lawsuits. Overall stress for both husband and wife! Thus, try to follow my above example, by analysing room by room and comparing the flying stars of each sector: in particular try to analyse stars at the frontage and bedrooms. Quote: jian rong chen wrote: Is it good to convert the period 7 house to period 8 so that the house will enjoy better qi? Do search for past forum messages on how to fly to Period 8. For removing the roof tiles, one need not remove all roof titles. But removing around 8 tiles and replacing it after 100 days. In addition, try to have three or more celebrations.

Dear Aloysius, This is not the first choice location is still acceptable provided it is "shielded" from the sun and rain. The altar should be placed with a solid backing. As to whether it is to be placed on the right side or left side of the balcony, so long as immediately facing the altar - we do not see any "ugly" objects e.g. drying of clothes or shoe cabinet.

Dear Bail, Thanks for the two pictures Quote: Bail Lim wrote: I just want to ask if it is good to put computer in between the two beds?below is a link of my bedroom picture. Yes, there are two issues with such an arrangement: 1. the edge of the computer tableis a form of a poison arrow aimed towards the bed. 2. usually not ideal to place an older CRT monitor next to the bed-head especially if it is turned on, when we are sleeping. Once, turned off during sleep, should not pose an issue. Quote: Another Question is that if it is good to have the kitcen stove facing the door of my bedroom? I live in an apartment by the way.please click the link for the picture. Yes, this is equally not good in Feng Shui. Especially also if objects like knives, fork and or scissors can be seen from your bedroom door. In your case, since it may not be practical to remedy the situation, you may have to resort to closing the bedroom door especially if your bed is facing the stove. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, For really bad stars #5 combined or inflammed by #9; it is good to control this with "moving-metal". "Moving-metal" is particulary useful since you mentioned that in addition to these two bad stars, there is a further #3 = lawsuits, quarrels star. If the bedroom is not a bedroom, then one may consider using a six-hollow-rod windchime at that specific sector. Or a chiming clock around the wall of that sector. A clock that makes mechanical movement is also acceptable. Other traditional Feng Shui cures include:- a. the placement of a hulu or bottle gourd e.g. placed at the bed side table. b. for severe cases: get a jam jar (sized bottle). place 6 copper coins into it. Add two spponfuls of salt. Add water until 3/4 full. Stir the ingredients and place it close to a window (nearby). Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: I keep hearing how bad any combination of 5 and 9 is.

I have tried searching for explanations or solutions on the website, but have found none. I am also a strong fire. My house does face my prosperity area of SW2.

Dear Anon, Feng Shui is about earth luck. And usually an investigation using Flying Star can help detect any issues with regards to health in one's home. The tell tale signs of health issues are especially: 1. bad star numbers e.g. #5 with /or #2 with or #9 combined or in isolation 2. These stars fall either in the bedroom or frontage of the home. For example, for wealth wise, a Period 8, SW1 has good $$ prospect. But such a home potentially has to "take-care" of health issues/problems. For example: Period 8, SW1 :- Frontage SW has M5 W8 B5 Back NE has M8 W2 B2 As the frontage and back of the home are equally important, such a home has to control in particular bad stars #5 x 2 at the frontage and #2 x 2 at the back of the home.

Dear Anon, If possible try to see if you can plot a Flying Star chart. If so, check to see if: #5 misfortune / sickness and/or #2 sickness and/or #9 fire fuelling sickness are in the room or not.

Dear Marisol, Indeed, when performing Flying Star calculations, it is advisable to utilize the expansive terrace that offers a pleasant view as the front of the residence. This is because Flying Star Feng Shui is primarily concerned with the movement of qi into the home. Furthermore, this orientation appears to possess yang qi.
