Dear Cecil,
Thank you for your reply about Fu-dogs. According to Feng Shui concept, what is good to put on the pillars on both side of the drive way (no gate)or is it better to have nothing on them? The pillars are on the Northeast Gwa of the house and front door is on North Gwa. I have no knowledge of Flying Star theory. Is there any course teaching this theory?
Thanks for your advice.

Dear Lien,
The following are the most common objects on a pillar:
1. " Nothing " on top of it.
2. A pair of Lions on each side of the pillar
3. A pair of Fu-dogs on either side.
4. A pair of eagles with its wing ... wide open either flying or about to fly or protect its young.
As I mentioned the above is not directly related to Feng Shui.. one can generally say that it has more to do with `decorating' the pillar. There is no distinct `facing' direction for these objects on the pillar.
But closer to the "home" i.e. at the main entrance door area, I did mention that one should preferably take note of the material used on each side of the front door. For example if one is placing a bronze pair of lion or metal lion or carved in stone, it is best to check that the location is in balance i.e. the five elements are in balance.
Currently, if you are new to Feng Shui, the easiest theories to read up are based on the Shapes and Form and Eight House concept first. Especially theories based on the Five Element Concepts. Only after knowing these well, can one then be able to try and learn Flying Star.
In Feng Shui, it is not so much as picking up a book or taking a course but the end result is not theories but whether one can apply them correctly.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
