Dear Everyone, I must confess, that Robert and myself were quite busy the last week partially because we were helping our elder brother to evaluate a suitable new house. He saw two units he liked in a condominium development. One unit happened to have good Shape & Form, Auspicious Double Seven's at the main entrance and the house also fits his Ba Zhi e.g. room location etc... The second unit was not as auspicious. Even with existing computerised reports, it can be quite time consuming. Based on our recommendations, he quickly wanted to place a deposit but another person who happen to be there paid first. With this experence, Robert, quickly developed a special module where we can immediately identify very auspicious and suitable unit for him based on all known Feng Shui Schools. Last Saturday, armed with his new program, we went with our brother to view a potential development. As this is relatively new launch and quite an expensive house, there were many units available. Altogether there were at least 96 different layout plans. Robert brought along his notebook and immediately identified a very auspicious unit. Together, we were able to spot an even more excellent unit. As my brother was signing the agreement, someone else was also eyeing the same unit. Fortunately, we were much faster this round. I have asked Robert to launch this module : Finding a Good House? URL: http://www.geomancy-online.com Under the Home/Office - Home link Sample: http://www.geomancy.net/sample/goodhouse.htm ------- Brief Description --------- The new module analyses the 24 different main door directions (which is all the possible Flying Star directions for a specific period e.g. Period 7 - 1984 to 2003). Further analysis is done on the type of stars found at the main door. Then it will analyse the above against other individual information such as your personalised Eight House, Pillars of Destiny and also the new powerful Ba Zi Feng Shui. You will be provided with a detailed analysis of the recommended suitability of the various houses depending on the direction of the main entrance door. Depending on the individual, if you are an extremely lucky, you may have lots of Excellent Main Door facing House, otherwise there should be several Auspicious Main Door facing House. (Note: this varies from person to person). You will also be provided with a final summary of :- 1. Excellent House - Which is likely to have very good stars and even a double 7 for period 7, and it is a house which is favourable to his Ba Zi (Pillars). 2. Good House - Generally, good stars, and suitable to the person. 3. Auspicious but not suitable - The stars of the house is good but is unfavourable to you thus, not recommended if there is no other choice. 4. Inauspicious House - Not good for you, as the stars are not good or you are not suitable for that house. --------------------------------------------- In Feng Shui, the house of a person is very important, thus, if you can obtain a good home that is suitable and prosperous, you can draw and compensate what you may lack in your personal elements. Also, a good house or office will mean that you will enjoy great amount of wealth and business opportunity. Thus, with this new module, you can immediately be know what kind of office or home facing main door you should look out for. Once you can own a good house or a good office, you will be able to activate the wealth from the stars available. Hope that you find this module extremely useful especially for house searching. A free module is available for all users to make use of. Warmest Regards Cecil Lee

Dear Anon, Thanks for bring up this question. This morning, I have just taken a digital photo of the frontage of the Bank of India with the statues of two lions on both sides of the main entrance. Although, I have not taken a compass reading of the entrance; it is I believe facing South. (Definitely not West). There is no evidence to suggest that lion statues must face West. There are many buildings in Singapore with the lion statues and I do see them at the main entrance of buildings or shop front and again, they are not `West' facing. More importantly they are to be placed at both sides of the main entrance. Once I drawn the map of the location and the direction of the facing of the Bank of India `two lion' statues, will upload to this forum in the next day or two. Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. The Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank or HSBC do use two bronze lion statues outside they main entrance.

Dear Anon, It is ok for you to thrim the bushes in front of your main door as you are not `disturbing' the earth i.e. unless you are digging the earth at the east location. If you dig the earth, Symbolically place a metal object between the main door area. For example you can use a metallic foodtray or even a shovel on the wall. Metal will be able to shield the house and the trimming. It is best not to let the bushes overgrow as this would bring a different set of inauspicous qi especially since it is at the main entrance. Therefore, trimming does not distrub the earth. If there is a major digging going on in the East, the best metal to use is to place a car/vehicle between the digging and the house. Warmest Regards, Cecil

One reason is So long as having a furniture or a table at the location is acceptable. However, in my honest opinion, it is best not to place e.g. a decorative piece such a porcelain vase etc... where possible leave this location blank' of any objects that may sway the `neutral' balance to any of the elements. For example, best also not to place a PC or TV set directly at the middle point. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. A few days ago, I visited a new housing development and was found many of the housing units with the toilet at the centre of the house. 2. Although the shape of the house is considered `good' i.e. rectangle/squarish in shape, but a toilet at the centre of the house implies that finances are drained. 3. Generally if one is buying a new house, try to avoid a layout plan with the toilet in the centre. As this is considered a major "leak" (wealth and health). 4. Fortunately, often it takes three or more major leaks to cause problems especially to the breadwinner and the household. 5. In additional, hopefully the Flying Star Feng Shui of the unit is equally not poor.

Designer's Layout plan showing inauspicious layout of beds (Master bedroom, bedroom 1 and bedroom 2) against the window. Revised plan with each of the beds against a solid wall. P.S. The TV sets were not shown in the bedrooms under the (second) Revised layout plan. Personally, it is still acceptable to have the TV sets in the room. This is part of `modern' living. Note: 1. This so far does not take into consideration the compass school of Feng Shui. 2. Look out for the placement of the bed on the opposite/next to wall of the toilet bowl. This is considered very inauspcious. For example, take a look at the master bedroom. You will see that the toilet bowl shares the same wall as one of the master bedroom's wall. Where possible avoid placing the bed head rest against it. 3. When applying the Eight House theory, do remember to take into consideration: a. It is more important to consider the placement of the bed i.e. against a solid wall. 2. This takes precedence over sleeping with the head facing a good direction.

Dear Debra, Sorry for the delay in reply. This is due to the several FS audits that I had conducted. For a mobile home, because of its relatively small size, it is difficult to apply FS mentioned for larger units or buidlings such as the Flying Star theory etc.. Although the Eight House can still be applied, again, we have to be realistic and it is difficult to apply it. What you can apply is:- 1. Shapes and Form in relation to where your mobile home is parked. Some of the Shapes and Form School is if u notice also based on `commonsense' approach. For example, it should be placed at a lighted location and where possible the location should be a solid ground. Ideally, you have the `moutain' behind u and a clear space at the frontage of the mobile home. (If this is possible). 2. In the day, the mobile home should have Yang influence e.g. bright. At night, have more yin influence to make it cosy. 3. It also depends on the nature of your work. If you work late throught the nite, then, the mobile home should be abit more Yang e.g. use light to brighten the place. If you are relaxing, have dimmer lights. Other then using the Shapes and Form plus Yin and Yang concept, there is really not much else you can really do for the mobile home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, I do not see a problem having a baby in an inauspicious year because, in general, the report is based on the entire year's influence. Here, you will notice that analysis can go further into each month even days and hours. Not all months or days in that year are considered inauspicious to you. It is only a general analysis. Personally, I feel that it is rather not to plan such events. Let nature take it's course. There are many couple who had approached me or many FS consultants to choose dates for the birth of their child. You can consider this `playing' with nature. For one, many a times, if it is a natural birth, it is seldom or rare to find that the date chosen coincides with the birth of the child! What is more important is to check the Ba Zi after the birth and if one is a Chinese, see if there are any elements that are missing. For example, I mentioned previously that when my elder brother was born, my grandfather consulted a Geomancer and found that he lacked `water' element. Water was added to my brother's last name to "compensate' for it. As for me, I was found not to lack any element and my last name has name with the sigificance of `neutral' or centre or nothing `missing'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Frankly, the only acceptable cure is to replace the tomb shaped head board. (Unless, one can change it ourselves e.g. cut it into another `shape'. It is best to have a head board for the bed but this is not necessary provided, the "head" of the bed rests against a solid wall. Here, it should be a full wall towards the ceiling rather than placing the bed against a window. On another topic, last few days, I went to a few sites of new housing development. I will share with everyone, the various layout plans that I got and review some of them this week. This is to apologise for the slight absence for the last few days. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. It is good to understand the concept behind the kitchen. In traditional Feng Shui, the kitchen plays an important part because this is a location where we are suppose to prepare our food. The main principle behind it is that we must try to keep our food warm. Thus the kitchen is suppose to keep us "warm". 2. With this understanding, we can also go further to say that the kitchen usually has both water element and fire element. 3. As water element and fire element are opposities e.g. Yin and Yang, it is best not to place the two together close-by. 4. In your situation, what is more important is the location of your kitchen. Ideally, as what you have mentioned, if your kitchen is in the Fire location e.g. South, it will easily be able to retain the heat or warmth even if it faces the living room. Here, the stove can `cool down' 5. Contrast this with the stove at the North location which is the location of Water element. Here, the stove is at a location where water is the main element and it would not be good to have the stove face e.g. the living room where it is further `cooled' down as it is open space. Here, the fire can further be extinguished. The concept can also in general apply to the stove is facing the north or south location. 6. A much `worse' effect is to have the stove face the main door as this implies the warmth goes out of the door. (Especially if it is the North point). 7. Concerning the knobs for the stove, it should not face the main door according to traditional Feng Shui. The knobs ideally should face the sky or face inwards into the house. In `modern' Feng Shui, more important considerations is to ensure that the Shapes and Form of the external and the interior conform to good FS guidelines and others include the house match your Ba Zhi and even the Flying Star chart of the house are acceptable.

Dear Anon, In general, there are basically `two' screen "formats". The purpose would depend on whether one is `inviting' beneficial Qi into the house or to `screen' away sha qi such as facing a toilet door. 1. If it is to screen from a toilet door, it must cover the height of the toilet door. 2. It is to be `air tight' e.g. no holes or ventilation planes. 3. It should go down towards the floor. If a screen is used for beneficical purposes e.g. to let the qi gently flow into the house: 1. It need not be `air tight'. 2. It need not be all the way up to the ceiling or up to a specific height. It can be of `low' height is acceptable. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Before, I go into the question, just to let you know that you do need to post a few messages in the forum. As this forum is moderated to ensure 100 percent `flame free', your message will appear on the forum once it is reviewed. The rationale is because at the last count there are at least 7,000 users listening in to the forum and we cannot afford to have a inconsiderate flamer or spammer on this forum. To answer your question: 1. Under the Eight House Theory, if the deathline falls on the main entrance door, this is considered the most " unsuitable " house for the `breadwinner'. 2. Other considerations under the Eight House Theory is that under condition 1, lets hope that the disaster intangible force does not fall under the `breadwinner's' bedroom location. It is equally inauspicious to have the Irritation or 5 Ghosts sector falling at the bedroom but this is of lesser impact. Anyway, this is done generally using only the Eight House Theory. If the death or disaster line falls on the main entrance door, it is best to use other Feng Shui tools to analyse further into the situation. Tools such as Flying Star and the most recent that will be launched soon... Ba Zhi Feng Shui. 3. To clarify on finding the direction of the main entrance door: One should not stand at the door and look out to take directions. But instead, to find the centrepoint of the house. At the centrepoint, look at the compass direction. From here, locate the direction of the main entrance door. I have provided several examples of how to find the main entrance door direction. One link is at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm Hope the above helps. Warmest Regards, Cecil Lee

Dear Shannon, To clarify, when you mentioned that the house-like building is spilt into 4 apartments, do mean that the `centrepoint' is where the entry and exit to the four apartments? Usually, when you do a FS audit, you should do it floor by foor. If your main entrance is located at the 2nd floor than determine where the main entrance door is. One can also divide each of the four apartments into separate units. For example, an " L " shaped house can be divided into two squares/rectangle and from here, do an audit for each square/rect. Warmest Regards Cecil

Dear Anon, Sounds like the location you referred to is `Siglap'. Usually, with modernisation, most of these locations are acceptable. 1. Usually, for a home located on a gravesite, so long as all the graves are dugged up, this is acceptable. Many homes in Singapore have been built on `reclaimed land' for burial. 2. The Yin Qi will usually `wear' off as it is inhibited by people Yang energy. What is more important at this point is to make sure that the house conforms to the Shapes and form School. For example, try to make sure that the house do not have missing corners. It is situated such that the water position if any is not at the back of the home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Bek, If the beams are made of wood, the next best alternative is to use `metal' element to `destroy' or `neutralise' the wooden beam. The best in such for a situation is to:- 1. use 6 coins tied together and hang on each beam. Alternatively, you can use silver foil e.g. as those used for cooking. In such a situation, use circular pieces x 6 pieces or cut them into stars x 6 pieces and place it on the beam. 2. the next best method is to hang two bamboo flutes on the beam. If this is not practical, then go for alternative 1. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Ber, Please see below:- This is a `difficult' question to answer because there are many different ways to work towards improving one's luck. For a better understanding of luck, we have to look at the basic but popular Chinese saying: Chinese regard Destiny as No. 1, Feng Shui second and luck (third) in importance. Here, you will notice that Destiny refers to our Heaven's Luck. Luck that is supposely `given' to us when we are born. Feng Shui is based on Earth luck. and the third point: Luck is simply luck. What we are trying to do here is to use powerful tools: 1. Pillars of Destiny to map out our Heaven's Luck. By doing so, we can than better understand our Heaven Luck and hopefully try to `manipulate' or change some of it. It is said that we can change around 60 percent of such luck. This type of luck is also `governed' by the type of education we have, our surroundings eg. parents that brought us up etc... Here it would account for why two persons who were born at the same time, but have had difference influence such as upbringing, the education received etc... 2. Feng Shui helps to map out our Earth Luck. From the above, you can see that we can try to enhance our Heaven and Earth luck. The third is simply `luck'. If we can enhance Para 1 and 2, it would give us an added boost to our `luck'. This is based on numerology. We will be looking at the above under another `different' School and this will be shared with users here. (At a later date). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Cindy, Please see below:- It is hard to figure out how to `block' this poision arrow since it looks like an "inmovable object" pointing towards your bed. Try to figure a way to block the poison arrow. I am unable to provide a remedy as it has to be `physically' neutralised (as opposed to symbolic neutralising it). The concept is that if you cannot `see it' from the position it cuts, it no longer becomes a threat. You can go to http://www.geomancy-online.com and use the Free Basic Pillars of Destiny Report to generate and find out your true element. As mentioned above, you can use the Free Basic Pillars of Destiny Report; key in your birth particulars and generate the report immediately. 1. Ba Gua with a convex mirror at the centre: This is usually used to deflect poison arrows. 2. Ba Gua with concave mirror at the centre: This is used at an auspicious location: supposely to `absorb' good Qi. 3. Ba Gua mirror with the Twin Door Gods (If you log-in to the forum, go to conference: Photo Tours of Interest, there is a recent message that shows what this type of mirror looks like). Some use this to `ward off evil'. In the West, the Ba Gua mirror is less used firstly because it is less easily obtainable e.g. other than to order from a Feng Shui emporium or buying from the internet. If you bring the dragon into the home, try to make sure that it is facing the door directly. Alternatively, can it be `turned' towards facing the main entrance gate? It is not advisable to let the dragon face the large tree. This is because the a large tree is considered of the Yin element and the dragon is a Yang element. It would create a clash of Yin and Yang, this is why you could be feeling "uneasy" over it. Yin and Yang should be in harmony Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Barbara, As Glyn mentioned, sometimes it is quite dangerous to apply " general " Feng Shui concepts. On the surface, as the fireplace represents the fire element, adding a colour like red will increase the `fire' element. It is like pouring `petrol' to fuel the fire. It is best sometimes not even knowing a `little' about Feng Shui. Usually under " general " FS concept, it is best to neutralise `fire' with the earth element. Can you return the colour to the original as soon as possible. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Fraser, Yes, if you can, quickly register any names that you personally feel is happy with particulary those found as `words' or a combination of words and characters. Hurry! meaninful .Com is hard to find nowadays. 888 to the Chinese especially the Cantonese (dialect) sounds Fa Fa Fa or Prosperity x 3. Other good sounding names include 9 or its multiples. For the current Period, 7 is still acceptable (as we are currently under this period). In Flying Star Theory, 8 and 9 or its multiplies are equally auspicious as Period 8 will start in the year 2004. Under the Flying Star numerology, 8 and 9 are equally good as this is considered the stage where we `reap' the beneifits from the `struggles' under Period 1, 2, 3... onwards. Wishing you all the best in getting your domain name. If you cannot get the .com, .net is equally a popular domain name. (I always avoid getting the country specific domains e.g. .com. Equally important is a good website:) Warmest Regards, Cecil Lee

Snap-shots of more pictures of the above temple. Lion statue: There are two Lion statues `guarding' the main entrance to the temple. Lion statues are very common found on traditional Chinese buildings to guard the front door. Lots of buildings in Singapore have the two Lion statues similar to the one shown in the picture. The Hong Kong Shanghai Bank or HSBC commonly has two bronze Lions outside the main entrance of their branches. The burning receptacles are used for burning of paper `money', paper offerings etc... `Hell' notes refers to paper money burned/offered to the dead in the hope that they can make use of the money in the after life.

Pictures of the two Gods guarding the Door. The picture of the two door gods are also used on some Ba Gua `mirrors' i.e. the First Heaven Sequence Ba gua Symbol is on the top while the two door gods are below the Ba Gua `mirror'. This mirror is usually hung to `ward off evil'. For example, it is commonly placed at the North East (Devil's main gate) main door or South West (Devil's back door)main door . For more information about the First Heaven Sequence Ba Gua, please refer to http://www.geomancy.net/fs/pakua.htm

Dear Gustavo, Please see below:- You should place the Ba Gua mirror above the main entrance door (directly at the centre). It is best to use a convex mirror to deflect sha qi (poison arrow). And not the concave mirror which is used to absorb good qi (for auspicious location). Alternatively, you can use a semi-circular carpet which radiates out of the house. If the toilet is at `true' compass points e.g. 0 degrees, 45 degrees, 90 degrees etc... frankly nothing can be done here. Other than to close the toilet door when not in use, keep the location bright and dry. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, The convent is considered a Yin location where e.g. a `depository' such as problems etc... This would account for some like yourself who has a dislike for the facing direction. You can for e.g. have a barrier e.g. fencing with plants to shield your home from the view of the convent. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, I believe, Patalying Jaya refers to the area near or around Kualau Lumpur (the Capital of Malaysia). Malaysia's Cyber Hub is located around this location. Perhaps, this is why you may have heard of it. I am not sure if the spelling is correct or my description exact. But overall you can consider it as a location within Kualau Lumpur. Personally, there is not much significance in the area as compared to Penang, also a `district' of Malaysia where predominantly Chinese stay. You can treat Kualau Lumpur or Penang as equvalent of the definition such as Texas, New York in USA. But these locations are much smaller. If you are staying in Malaysia, perhaps can provide more details or share with us the comments made by Anon. Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. By the way, Singapore is located South of Malaysia. +++ Petaling Jaya, commonly known as PJ, is famous for several reasons: 1. Proximity to Kuala Lumpur: Located just southwest of Malaysia’s capital, Kuala Lumpur, Petaling Jaya serves as one of the first satellite cities and is an important part of Greater Kuala Lumpur. 2. Economic Hub: PJ is a major commercial and residential area, hosting many businesses, shopping malls, offices, and industries. Areas like Bandar Utama, Damansara, and SS2 are popular for their vibrant commerce. 3. Education: The city is home to several reputable schools, colleges, and universities, including the Malaysian campus of Monash University and Taylors University. 4. Shopping and Entertainment: There are numerous shopping malls (such as 1 Utama, The Curve, and Paradigm Mall), restaurants, cafes, and entertainment venues. 5. Healthcare: PJ boasts many top private hospitals and medical centers, making it a healthcare destination. 6. Diverse Community: Petaling Jaya is known for its multicultural population, reflected in its food, festivals, and community life. 7. Infrastructure and Accessibility: Well-connected by highways, public transportation, and the LRT, PJ is convenient for commuting and travel. Petaling Jaya’s blend of modern amenities, business opportunities, multicultural ambiance, and convenient location make it one of Malaysia’s most well-known and sought-after cities.

Dear Anon, As Robert has mentioned, Chinese Lunar New Year does not always fall on the 4th or the 5th. One good way to find out the dates is to go to this URL: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/90-2010.htm Under the above URL, you can check the `Start' date of the Chinese Lunar New Year from 1990 to the year 2011. You will see that it does not always fall on 4th or 5th. Warmest Regards, Cecil
