Dear PB, Although a kitchen has some influence over the house, the more scientific method is the use of the Flying Star Theory to check whether there are any imbalances in the house. I believe, the above is a more `fruitful' excerise. Additional analysis could include the Pillars of Destiny to analyse both parties and compare both parties and find out the binding element for both parties. It would be a better option then just simply looking at the kitchen itself. The above is my opinion. I will try to give more tips on the kitchen as soon as I can. You can find some of the `answers' on this, I believe by doing a search under this forum (Free Advice forum). Warmest Regar…

Dear Denise, Here’s a refined version of your text: A fish tank is best placed in a "water" star position, as recommended by the Flying Star Theory. Even without a detailed Feng Shui assessment, the living room is generally a suitable location, especially where there is ample open space—this aligns well with water star principles. Ideally, position the fish tank against a wall in the living room and keep the surrounding area furnished with low furniture to maintain harmony. If the toilet already occupies a water star position, keeping the fish tank there can be acceptable, provided it is of reasonable size and fits comfortably. The key is that both you and …

1. More important consideration is the stove:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Kitchen_Stove_%26_More 2. For the oven, it is symbolically important not to let it be seen directly when standing at the main entrance door. 3. If the kitchen has an opening, best that the oven does not face a bedroom door. These two are the most important considerations for an oven. While the stove should be the more important item to be place - first. While the oven is considered as nice-to place and not a must place.

Dear Wasis, Thank you for sharing your layout plans. They are very helpful in understanding your situation. The living room should remain as it is, since the new layout is a big improvement over the previous one. Regarding the bedroom, I agree that the new layout is not satisfactory. For this room, please return to the original layout. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Carrie, Please see below:- 1. On 2/10/00 5:28:00 PM, Carrie Barker wrote: 2. Yes this is correct. Under the Four Symbolic Animal Concept (pertaining to the concept where the back should have `solid backing' and front `clear space') no matter where the house faces this should be the concept. (Based on Shapes and Form School of interpetation of the Four Symbolic Animal Concept). 4. It does not matter if the main door is at the side of the house in this situation. The front of the home is always easy to recognize. 5. In many Chinese cities, cold winds and yellow dust come from the north, so buildings avoid putting windows or doo…

Dear Kay, Often there are many ways at looking whether a number is auspicious or not. ie. For most 4 - Cantonese sound is Die so most people avoid it. But if you look at the Iris - 4 leave clover is a lucky symbol. ie. Alterntaively, you can also add up the numbers to be a single number to see if it matches your gua/kua number ie 6779 = 6 + 7 + 7 + 9 = 29 = 2 + 9 = 11 = 1 + 1 = 2. So there can be 101 different ways at looking at a number. What is good for one may not be good for another. However, what you should also remember is that ultimately, what makes a house/plot of landgood or not is ultimately, the feng shui of your environment as well as the house that you p…

Dear Jen, If this is just a small plant and a one-time activity, it’s fine to do. Unless it’s something that will go on for a long time—which it isn’t. I think you should go ahead. Some people suggest putting a piece of metal between this area and your home, but I don’t think it’s needed. As long as you do it yourself, it’s OK. Don’t bring in bulldozers, that wouldn’t be good. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Yum Chinn, 6. The main idea here is to compare this to an examination. 6.1 Many of us have taken exams where we had to answer 4 required questions. 6.2 The goal is to get as many marks as possible. If there are 4 compulsory questions and 100 marks in total, each question is worth 25 marks. 6.3 In exams, we should not only answer 3 questions. If the exam lasts 2 hours, we should spend 30 minutes on each question. 6.4 Teachers often say that if we only answer three questions and skip the fourth, we might fail. But if we try the fourth question, we can still earn some marks. 7. So, judging a home as “do…

Hi. I have three questions about my room: 1. I am thinking of putting a loft bed into my room to save space. My room is on the South-East corner of my house, it has one window facing south and another window facing East. The bed can only go in the south-east corner of the room, where it will be in front of the East facing window. This will cut off some of the light, but as I work nights and sleep days, that is not a bad thing. Are there any Feng Shui rules about Loft beds I should know? 2. Also I have three pet garter snakes I keep in a terrarium in my room. What sort of effect do they have on Feng Shui? I have read articles aboutfish and Feng Shui, but there is little…

Dear Anon, There is some truth in this statement. 1. It is best to keep or concentrate pumbing to one side of the house: 1.1. For the developers, it is easier to build. (Although this is not our main concern here). 1.2. Many good houses have the above characteristics. Even many `good' buildings reserve e.g. a corner of the building for the pantry area, the male and female toilet is at this corner of the house. 1.3. The next important characteristics is to have the water position share an external wall. Here, this simply means that if the toilet shares an external wall it can never be at the centrepoint of the house. 1.4. In my opinion, it is not so much of preventing the …

Dear Carla, CARLA MILLER wrote: I have found several homes that I really like but the Feng Shui for the house number is incompatible to me. Is there anyway the negative chi of a house number can be reversed (like adding a letter A or B) in order to be more positive for the owner? House Number has least overall impact over the house compared to the external shapes and form and interior feng shui. There are many ways to view the house number analysis. ie some people dislike house number with number 4, however, there are some people who don't mind the number 4. Therefore, a house number doesn't ha…

Dear Anon, I believe, Patalying Jaya refers to the area near or around Kualau Lumpur (the Capital of Malaysia). Malaysia's Cyber Hub is located around this location. Perhaps, this is why you may have heard of it. I am not sure if the spelling is correct or my description exact. But overall you can consider it as a location within Kualau Lumpur. Personally, there is not much significance in the area as compared to Penang, also a `district' of Malaysia where predominantly Chinese stay. You can treat Kualau Lumpur or Penang as equvalent of the definition such as Texas, New York in USA. But these locations are much smaller. If you are staying in Malaysia, perhaps ca…

Hi, Frankly, this is usually considered too insignificant to be a major concern in Feng Shui—the influence is simply too minor. It’s similar to the idea of using an imperial Frankly, this is usually considered too minor to be a big concern in Feng Shui—the influence is very small. It’s like using special measurements or a Feng Shui ruler, but for most people, it’s not practical to buy custom furniture, such as tables, just to get lucky sizes. While Feng Shui recommends furniture with good measurements, what should we do when shopping? Many practical Feng Shui experts say to trust your own feelings.

Hello master Lee, I am designing a house and I have this question from you: Is it ok to put washing machine (laundry) in southeast sector, with fixed flying stars 4-8-5? Is it also ok to have a door (to garden, for bringing clean laundry out)? This is not a good sector for us, since we both are west group people. The house is facing southwest, period 9. Thank you very much

Dear Christine, Appreciate if you can give us a better idea the reason why you are worried about your kitchen in the North East. More importantly, priority should be given to the Kitchen based on the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui. For example, the stove should have a solid back and not against a window. Since the stove is on the north wall, it can still be located at the north wall. However, the only caution here is that since it is at the north wall, you should not place a water position facing the stove. The sink can be at the west wall. Again it should not too close to any fire element and keep a distance for it. Other than the above, I believe there is no issue …

Hello master, I want to ask you which is a better place for dining room? A good sector according to 8 mansions Sheng Qi (also Sheng Qi for husband, and Tien Yi for wife) with bad flying stars 6(mountain) 6 3(water) (it is the southwest sector, and I put a fireplace there) or a bad sector according to 8 mansions Huo Hai (also Huo Hai for husband, and Wu Gui for wife) with good flying stars 8(mountain) 4 1(water) (it is the south sector, and stove is also there)? Does it make any harm to be a fireplace (electric one) in Sheng Qi sector? Thank you very much

Dear Anon, The convent is considered a Yin location where e.g. a `depository' such as problems etc... This would account for some like yourself who has a dislike for the facing direction. You can for e.g. have a barrier e.g. fencing with plants to shield your home from the view of the convent. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Spring, Traditional Chinese customs does not have a "Tai Sui" talisman i.e. they are not called Grand Duke nor Tai Sui talisman. However, there are some standard charms to be placed above doors (purpose? To ward off evil). The blessed charms are obtained usually from Taoist priests. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear HK Don, hk don wrote: For applying a cure on a three storey terrance house for a given sector (say NW), do we need to put the samecure on every floor or just the ground floor or top floor? Pls advise. Thanks Generally, the best way is to always use colour scheme to balance up the room and minimise the use of cures. This is the most efficient and effective way. However, where there is no other option, then a cure at the right sector may be necessary. Depending on the severity, if really very unbalanced, then having a cure on different level is ok. Else, just fix up the more important rooms (ie bedrom, living room, main door etc).…
