Hi Cecil

We had our house feng shuied by you last year. We were advised to have more of green and red colours in the NW sector which is our main entrance. Hence, we have this sector painted green, curtains greenand floor mat red in colour.

In 2005, the 5 yellow will be in this sector.We understand that metal will be able to cure this 5 yellow.We intend to paint the main door brown (wood element). Is this OK? How else can we cure this 5 yellow at our main entrancein the NW?

Hope you can enlighten. Thanks.

Dear Anon,

For this coming Chinese New Year (CNY 2005), yes brown is acceptable. Since brown represents wood. And the green in this sector is also OK; since both green and brown are wood elements.

Wood element is much like a tree with roots (sink-into-the-ground) to crush earth (bad #5). thus, this is acceptable.

This is based on the "destructive" cycle of the Five elements where wood destroys or crush earth element.

Reference: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-5element.htm

Recommendations:

1. For this coming CNY, should remove the red mat since red can fuel earth element or inflame it. Thus the alternative is to usea blue mat. Here, water helps to draw-out earth i.e. #5 strong earth

2. Painting the door brown is no issue. Since this is the wood element.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
