Hi Cecil,
My true birth element is weak wood.According to the analysis of my element, (1)there is no Fire in my life so colors red and orange is suitable (2)too much Earth in my life so colors green, brown, white and gold were suggested.
What confuses me is that under the exhaustive cycle Fire exhausts Wood and destructive cycle Metal destroys Wood. So it red,white and gold colors still favorable to me?? What's the difference between exhaustive cycle and destructive cycle?
I have a Chinese almanac 2001 by Lilian Too.It's my first and I have great problem finding favorable days for myself. I have a query but I have no one to help me except you. I hope you wouldn't mind.
It's about the Day Element. Each day, the Heavenly Stem(HS)eg. Wu and Earthly Branch(EB)eg Chen and Element eg. Wood were given. I know the HS eg.Wu and EB eg.Chen is according to a chart but I don't know how/where to check for the Element eg. Wood.
Would you know? If I were to check if the day is favorable to me, do I check my weak wood against the HS eg.Wu or EB eg.Chen or Element eg.Wood?
Your advices/explanations are very much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Cecil,
I read from the Almanac 2001, there are 12 Earthly Branches. Do you know which Earthly Branches are unfavorable to my weak wood Oxen? Does this affect only the day or month or year or does this affect all three ie. day, month and year?
A fortune teller told me that Ram is unfavorable to me. How about Monkey or Boar or Rat? I have friends of these Chinese zodiac signs.I'm having bad luck in everything I do around them. I have tried wearing colour clothes favorable to my weak wood element everyday. But nothing seems to help.
Any advice is very much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
Five Yellows refers to 'Ho Hai' or 'Wu Kwei' or 'Lui Sha'?
I wish to know.I'm confused. Thank you.

Hi,
I bought an oval gold pendant with a dragon design for my boyfriend for last Valentine's Day. He's been wearing it since. Removes it when he sleeps. My boyfriend is Weak Wood. Can he wear the gold pendant or gold chain or gold ring? How about jade? Can he wear jade pendant? Do you know?I wish to know as I don't want to harm him.
I'm Strong Earth. My boyfriend gave me a round diamond ring with white gold and a gold band. Are they suitable for me? I'm wearing it anyway harmful or not. (:
Please tell me. Thank you and Have a nice day!.

Thank you,thank you,thank you!!!..for your help.I hung the portraits back. (:

Dear Agnes,
In my opinion, the beam(s) you
had mentioned is not an issue
since many bedrooms I am aware
of in Singapore, have such
indents.
Usually, it wold be good to
have a headboard with cupboard
space for placement of e.g.
phone set or alarm clock.
Even if there is no cupboard
space, this would generally
(in my realistic opinion) not
a main issue.
Usually, when we sleep, on a
pillow, part of the top
portion of the pillow would
certainly occupy the `beam'
portion. Best to sleep away
from the beam.
As for hanging wedding photos
etc... you should still hang
the photo as the `benefits'
outweigh the disadvantage.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Hi Cecil and Robert,
After all these years,I
noticed that one side of the
wall in my bedroom and child's
study room respectively,
there's something like half a
concrete beam protruding out
at the top. Is that considered
a beam?
I hung my wedding photo and
child's portraits on that wall
right under that "beam". Is it
bad luck?
I removed all the photos
(leaving the nails and a wall
clock on the wall)for the time
being. Now I keep the pictures
in a cupboard in the storage
room. I don't know where to
hang them.Please advise
me.Thank you.
Sincerely,
agnes

Thank you very much for your advice, Cecil!!

Dear Anon,
In a recent reply to the same
or similar question, I
personally feel that this is a
non-issue since you are
normally not sleeping under
the portion of the `beam'.
In a situation where there is
indeed a beam `pressing' on
the body; I feel that this is
a real concern.
But, yes, do rest and relax as
usually, a portion of the
pillow would `occupy' or be
below this beam and in fact,
more often, the head is
further away from this `beam'.
In case of a further paranoal;
of feeling that there could be
a poison arrow from the beam
towards, the bed, in my
opinion, this is usually a non
issue since the distance of
this `beam' is relatively far
away and in most instances,
aimed 45 degress and usually
away from the body. Again
this, I felt is a non issue.
Therefore, this round; it is
good to `listen' to your
boyfriend's advice:)
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Hi,
My boyfriend's bed(the
headboard) is plastered on the
wall. Its mattress is the
divan type with rollers. So
there's a small gap (2 inches)
between the mattress and the
headboard. I noticed right
above the headboard on the
same wall, there's a slight
beam protruding out about 6
inches. We are sleeping under
it. Not quite directly. About
6 inches away. I told him it's
not good. He said not to
worry. Maybe I am being
paranoid.
I wish to know if sleeping
this way is bad feng
shui.Kindly advise. Thank you.

Hi,
My bathroom and toilet has a wall in between separating them.My "Sheng Chi" is there ie. Southwest of my flat. My husband is the breadwinner. But he lives in another state. Comes back once a month for a few days.I'm a housewife.I lived with my child.
I wish know if hanging wooden wind chimes outside the bathroom and toilet respectively could help mitigate unlucky energy for me? Both the bathroom and toilet doors are open all times. Toilet sit down. Both bathroom and toilet facing a washing machine.
I really don't want to see my savings being wash away.I need advice.
Please help. Thank you very much in advance.

Hi,
My husband placed 4 loose bronze (i think,definitely not gold plated) I Ching coins under the mattress which my daughter and I are sleeping. It's a wooden bed.
He said it's for good health. Is that so?
Do you know? Please advice. Thank you.

1. wooden or metal windchimes
2. I Ching coins tied with red string
3. a pair of Chi Lin
4. wooden or metal carp
5. crystal globe
Are all the above considered decorational objects? Would they in anyway affect the Feng Shui of our apartment? I wish to know.
Im Catholic and my hubby is Buddhist. He placed all the above in our home.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
agnes
