Dear Cecil,
I have recently heard of a fengshui principle called the Water Dragon fengshui which when applied is supposed to attract great fortune and wealth. It is said to be so powerful that if the abovementioned is what one wants, than by finding the exect direction of the main door and using the formulas to determine the exit flow of the water one can ignore all other fengshui priciples relating to if the inhabitant's are of the east/west group or flying star guidelines. What do you think of it's validality and application. Thanks for your time again Cecil.
Regards,
Yew-Meng.

Dear Yew-Meng,
1. Frankly, there is nothing mysterious or new about Water Dragon Feng Shui. Basically, it is none other than Shapes and Form Feng Shui in action.
2. From the start in this forum, I have been emphasising the concept called `Quantum Leap' in Feng Shui.
This is where Shapes and Form Feng Shui prevails over other forms of Feng Shui. And if a house has good Shapes and Forms, some houses do not even need Feng Shui at all.
3. The most recent resources that I had written on this subject i.e. the `Quantum Leap' or receiving wealth can be found under this link:-
4. There is really nothing mysterious about the Water Dragon Feng Shui, especially if can look thru this real life example of how the Water Dragon Feng Shui has been applied:-

Water Dragon Feng Shui in Action
================================
http://www.geomancy.net/review/tropica/index.htm
In the above resource, do take note of comments like:-
a. The Auspicious Dragon-Tiger Gate
b. And do take note of comments like "In addition, it is auspicous as water flows from west to east to Sungei Bedok." As this has to do with the flow of water directions.
The rationale, why it is best to have water flowing from e.g. west to east is because of the concept of ions:-
5. Here negative ions is good and it is said that water flowing from a certain direction to the other can either bring negative (good) ions and positive ions.
6. The Water Dragon Feng Shui is therefore, nothing new or mysterious.

Dear Yew-Meng,
1. Further to what I had mentioned earlier, one reader had recently wrote something like this:-
" I cannot see the resemblance of roads as equal to water courses ".
2. It is good to bear in mind what the above user had wrote.
3. It is not often or that every other house has large water positions around their homes.
And for this reason, and the fact that as the above user had correctly questioned whether can we treat all roads as equvalent to water courses?
Like any other Shapes and Form, each home or building has to be looked at individually.
And something as `fantastic' as Water Dragon Feng Shui may seem out-of-place if there are really no real water at the specific site.
As far as I am aware, the Water Dragon Classics is strictly based on true water positions i.e. based on this url:
http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-wclassic.htm
And anything else, is simply a "modern invention". And usually, when someone says that they see roads as totally equal to water is highly subjective.
The above is certainly food for thought!
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
