Dear Cecil,
Thanks for your advice on sharp roof. A luopan was adviced to put inside the house's "Roof". I am interested as what fengshui aspect does a luopan plays when put inside the house's roof. Isn't a luopan merely a tool for geomancer to see direction,facing etc.. Can you comment?
Have found #9,#8.#5 in the office room (3 yrs) has affected my eyes(poor vision). Have put metal & wood for the room.
Is water required to reduce the #5 & #9?
Thank you.

Dear Anon,
1. Basically, a loupan should not be placed outside of a house or hung on the external wall.
This is because if it is a real loupan, it may not withstand the prolonged weather condition.
So far, I do not see anyone placing a real one let alone a replica piece.
2. Perhaps, maybe, the person advised you found that the First Heaven Sequence formation is found on it. This is why, you may have been advised to use it.
Alternatively, perhaps, the person had heard that it can be used to `ward off evil'.
Reference on the First Heaven Sequence formation:-

3. For whatever reasons, a Ba Gua mirror would do the job more effectively.
Since, a luopan, a regular sized one can be quite heavy to hang up. And it's central circular dial can drop off, if the criss-cross string fails.
4. Some Feng Shui practitioners have advised their clients to keep a Ba Gua mirror. Some Chinese place it below (in a drawer) of their family altar.

If your house is built under period 7, then do check out the #number for that sector. If this year's influence has #5, then, you can use water.
But water has to be used under the following conditions:-
1. There must be an open window (ventilation).
2. Find a glass jar, the size of a jam jar. place 6 ancient coins into the jar. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and water. And stir it.
3. Place this glass jar close to a open window sill. Add water when it dries up.
This is still a metal cure with water in it.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
