Dear Cecil,
I'm attaching the picture of objects which are facing my main door (frontage area, inside the house). Those on upper level are a pair of wooden lions. If we stand facing them, the female one is on our right. Whereas the male one (holding a ball) is on our left. Do you see any problem with their placement?
Those on lower level are a pair of ceramic figurines. As you see, those men are sitting on stones. Can they be used to activate mountain star? If so, their placement is wrong since they are in frontage area.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Wasis

Dear Wasis,
Here are some important points with regards to a pair of lions:-
1. Usually Feng Shui practitioners advise the use of lions - if it is for the home, at an inauspicious sector of the house.
2. Where possible the lions should face outwards of the house.
3. Lions placed in the house should not look too fierce or ferocious. They should look `peaceful' and happy. If they look fierce. They must never have their mouths face inside of the house.
4. Lions are used for:-
4.1 Either to ward off evil and /or
4.2 to bring in good luck into the house.
5. The common form of a pair of lions are made of stone. While those made of wood as what you have are often seen on roofs on beams e.g. front door or below i.e. supporting a wooden business signboard (painted in gold).
6. For your placement, it is best not to elevate the two lions. You can still use the two wooden lions, but place them on the lowest shelf.

Please refer to above. It is correct to place the female on the right. While the male on the left. The preferred lion to use is made of stone.

Best not to place these pair of ceramic figurines at the frontage of the house.
Instead, move the two lions down to `earth' or at this location.
If the object is solid, you can use it symbolically to activate the mountain star.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
