Dear Glyn, Glad to hear from you on actual happenings in Perth. Just to share with everyone: Currently a few users have used the " Anonymous " feature when sending mails in this forum. Here are the plus and minus points of sending mails Anonymously: 1. It is ok if you are sending many individual questions on each specific topics as the message will not be sent out thru the mailing list unless it has been replied. This is ok as, many users will then be able to read only the replies rather than the question first. 2. If any users do see " Anonymous ", it does not imply that it is only one person who sent it. As the adminstrator of this forum, I am able to see who sent the …

Hi Anon Cecil's course IMHO is very well structured with lots of examples coming from his 101 Feng Shui Tips and Examples.I found the course easy to understand and most importantly, Cecil and Robert as you well know, are prepared to answer all questions. I can assure you not all Masters are this generous. I am an accountant by profession but gave it all away in 1994. My chart indicated that I would study metaphysics so I followed this path and with excellent Masters like Cecil and Robert, have been able to set up a practice here in Perth where I have a strong client base. One never stops learning about Feng Shui..there is just so very much to learn, and when done correctl…

Dear Kris, It is best that you superimpose the Eight House Template which is available at either: 1. Manual method: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm (with detailed instructions on how to do a survey). 2. Computerised method: Free computerised Eight House at www.geomancy-online.com My advise is that you should try out the above to check your auspicious and inauspicious sectors. After doing so, see which location is closer to your best auspicious intangible force. If it is an inauspcious intangible force, and if the room is between two compass directions e.g. NE or N (as an example), it is best to sleep closer to the least bad influence i.e. NE = death or disaster line…

Dear Anon, In my opinion, to a geomancer, this is like an other `occupational' risks inherent to their occupation. Usually, to eradicate `ghosts or spirits', this would be referred to an appropriate priest/monk etc... The homeowner is the one who has ultimately to make the decision he/she wants to call in. It can be a Catholic priest, a Christina pastor, a Toaist, Buddhist or others such as ghost catchers. The FS practioner can try to advise on how to reduce Yin influences. Like you mentioned if a FS practioner is not well protected, he/she can get sick. In fact, doing FS audits on the wrong dates can cause `harm' to the FS practioner. There are dates where a FS practio…

Dear Anon, One good example is at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/grandpa1.htm This type of house has to eventually be pulled down i.e. demolished and rebuilt. Usually, the senario is like this: 1. The breadwinner will die shortly after it is constructed. 2. Other family members will have a hard time `keeping' it although the next breadwinner will not die but will have lots of difficulty. 3. If this second breadwinner (usually the inheritants) does not sell the house, it will be `forced' sell e.g. bankrupt or near bankrupt. Near bankrupt if he sells early and avoids this. 4. If the house is sold to another party, this party will have financial problems and will eventually have…

Dear Anon, You brought up a very interesting question. My views are as follows:- 1. It has to depend on the quality of the Feng Shui " Master ". Many people simply give themselves title the Master title. Most people who are naive will equate all Masters to be equal. I believe it is best to go to the `root' of the situation by employing a reputable Feng Shui Master/ Practioner either through word of mouth or by their `reputation'. I believe that "You pay for what you get." 2. The best Feng Shui practioners are those who are willing to help others (of course with a fee involved). Contrast this to those who only want to earn money at their expense. Again this is difficult …

Dear Anon, Grateful if you can elaborate further on this. If I get to understand, as the cross road is a "cross junction", there can be at least two houses that can have this configuration. From what you have mentioned, at the moment cannot seem to find a rationale for the initial good luck for the house. Perhaps, you can elaborate which book or site you seen this and what is the rationale for the author to write it in this manner? The only remote possibility is that the author had treated the road as a False dragon. But again, I would need the full facts before I am able to make a proper comment. Else, it has to be discounted. Warmest Regards, Cecil

I HAVE BEEN STUDYING/READING BOOKS ON THE SUBJECT OF FENG SHUI FOR 3 YEARS NOW. IN THAT TIME IT HAS BEEN MY EXPERIENCE THAT ONE BUILDING WILL SEEM TO RESPOND POSITIVELY TO THE CURES OF ONE SCHOOL OF FENG SHUI WHILE ANOTHER RESPONDS BETTER TO ANOTHER, FOR EXAMPLE: BLACK HAT MAY SUGGEST BLUE/ WATER IN THE NORTH IF IT IS A PROBLEMATIC AREA,WHILE COMPASS WILL SUGGEST TO REDUCE THE NORTH WITH GREEN WOOD (IF NORTH IS A NEGATIVE DIRECTION IN THAT PARTICULAR HOME). IT TAKES A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TRIAL AND ERROR AS WELL AS INTUITION TO DISCOVER TO WHICH THE BUILDING WILL RESPOND.

Dear Annon, Sorry, for the late response. I totally agree with what you have written. For this reason, "in between messages", I am trying to post some symbols of significance to the Chinese. I agree with you that we should discuss more of symbolism, since there are already alot of resources dedicated to clearing doubts on various Feng Shui issues. Perhaps, you have correctly pointed out that this is the right time to discuss whenever we can symbolism. Earlier, I decided not to discuss `symbolism' was because, there are still so many questions relating to how to effectively use proper Feng Shui or to differentiate those that works and those that are not Feng Shui. My fear…

Dear Andre, In my opinion, there should not be any impact of what you have described. Usually, the emphasis is more to see if the `main entrance' door is protected from `harm' i.e. poison arrows. As such, floorings are of secondary importance. Where possible, floors should ot be entirely dark. The house should not look `dark' but bright. Especially the living room making it more yang than yin. Contrast to the bedroom where it is more for sleep which should be more yin than yang. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Darlene, 1. Sorry for the late reply. 2. Presently there are no ISO standards or standard practises in Feng Shui. 3. I would rather call it Geomancy as Feng Shui alone is not really enough to cover the scope of a full " Feng Shui " audit. 4. In my opinion, it takes years and years of experience plus constant studying and updates to come to a level of not only understanding but applying `Feng Shui'. As Rome was not built in a day, Geomancy study needs lots of understanding and more importantly, applying what most likely works and discard the `bad' practises. 5. I therefore cannot blame you for being `confused' with so many practices in Geomancy. Furthermore, there …

Dear Anon, 1. I do not believe that the subject is taboo. Sorry if it seems to make one think that I find such subject taboo. Let me share with you my personal views on the above issues. One reason why sometimes, I do not reply these messages is because, it is difficult to give an advise without knowing more or as I believe, other avenues would perhaps offer a better solution to Feng Shui. So I have "procrastinated" answering these questions. To those users, sorry about it. I do intent to reply the few questions on these issues. I also do not like to give advise if I believe it cannot work (although it can raise hopes! Which is the lesser evil?) Should I then give false h…

Hi Anon Houses here in Oz are really no different from anywhere else. Perhaps we have larger plots of land than some countries but that's about all. They have the same Feng Shui problems as anywhere else. Glyn

Dear Anon, One should treat, huge manmade structures similar to tall superstructures or tall buildings as the same. It would be better as a comment if we are in a particular building overlooking the huge manmade structure. Here, Shapes and Form Feng shui is used. From the angle or room, what you see may not be what I see or how another practitioner see. Worse still if one `see's nothing. The best way therefore to relate to these objects is from the main entrance (if it overlooks these structure) and any windows facing it. It depends as no two house have the same view. Like you correctly mentioned, higher level Feng Shui analysis would be to see the relationship of the h…

Dear Anon, This is a very interesting question. In applied Feng Shui, one need not have to deal with issues like whether the moon is yin or yang. What is more relevant here is the `fact' that the moon affects the tides and magnetic influence/pull of gravity. Other interesting studies include looking at e.g. full moon dates for Marketing activity etc.. I personally feel it does not matter whether the stars are yin or yang. This area, is dominated by Astrology i.e. this forum's `terms of reference' is more on Feng Shui, Destiny and not on Chinese Astrology. Perhaps, Chinese Astrology, may or may not have looked into this issue. Frankly, most of us are not too concerned as …

Dear Lynn, 1. Usually, you can get readily purchased coins already tied with red string with a tassel. 2. In your case, usually, tie the first coin with the second coin and then add the third coin, overlapping each other. The three coins can be `firmly' held together overlapped in a straight line. (Overlapped partially on top of each other). 3. The three coins are usually placed under the main entrance carpet. The symbolic gesture of stepping on the three coins is like stepping on `gold'. 4. You do not really need to worry as to how to tie them. But remember not to stack them together and tie them. 5. Here, symbolically, one must still see the three coins (even if they ar…

Dear Anon, When I am free, will post more information on this. Currently, the relationship of planets and even the Big dipper has relevance to Chinese Astrology. As most of users are more concerned with what goes on, on planet earth, I believe, we can skip this area first and concentrate on more `earthly things' and when there is less to discuss, would be glad to post more on Chinese Astrology (stuffs). Warmest Regards, Cecil

I too encounter similar incident as Ang Jen. I've paid $950 for aconsultation sessionthat only lasted 15mins. And I'm given the 'Don't ask too much' look whenever I ask for an explanation. It's really not fair to pay so much to be asked to do thingsI don't know whyI need to. Anyway, with those changes made, things seem to get worse than getting better.

Dear Anon, I would like to point out that `light' does not necessary mean `bulb' electricity. I believe our Sun came about long before the `bulb' electricity came into place. Usually, when I mentioned about lighting, e.g. it refers to natural light and necessary the `Edison' light bulb. I hope you *Joke* can now look at lighting from a different perspective. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Sorry to hear of your plight. I have had several clients in similar situations and after assessing their personal charts and doing a Flying Star audit of the house it usually is revealed that through no fault of theirs, they are enhancing the sickness area of the house. Once all this is attended to, it is possible for the family's health to improve. Also check the eight house theory.....your main door could be in the breadwinners death or disaster area. Cecil and Robert have many free modules on this web site to help you and feel free to ask as many questions as you want. Good luck Glyn.

Dear Anon, As you have correctly mentioned Chinese astrology can be quite `similar' in its approach with say the Western Astrology. The reason why, we do not want to discuss Chinese astrology at the moment is because most of the `analysis' done e.g. predictions in books are all based only on one's Year of birth. This is like comparing apples with oranges. Here, Pillars of Destiny (which is not Chinese Astrology) uses not `4 pillars' i.e. Year, Month, Day and Time. So how can we compare the `prediction' of Pillars of Destiny with a basic Chinese Astrology `chart' based on just the year of birth. Furthermore, we have added two more pillars of destiny into version 8. In addi…

Dear Anon, 1. Thanks for your feedback. 2. I will continue to provide graphic examples but not actual pictures. This is because when e.g. a full audit is done, we have to respect the privacy of clients. Furthermore, usually, it is not a comfortable feeling if a picture is taken when a cure has just been placed. 3. So, I feel it is best to illustrate using graphic drawings (if possible) or when I do have the time to do so. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. It sadden me to find that you faced so much problems. I believe what you wrote would be an inspiration to many who have fewer problems. 2. We would be very glad to provide you with as much assitance as we can free of charge. 3. More importantly, the emhasis would be to check on your child's health and the overall house. Please sent a private note to robert-lee@geomancy.net so that he can provide you with the necessary credits and to see if you would prefer using the Home Audit or generate the Flying Star. However, both would involve getting an ordinary compass. Take care! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Niki, 1. If you can, you could perhaps show us a small graphic file. As it is quite difficult to visualise what you are mentioning. 2. Where possible the stove has to have a support or backing. Can it be placed in a different location and for you to still enjoy the beautiful view. Warmest Regards, Cecil
