Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I have purchased a new Chinese Money Frog to replace a damagedMoney Frog that was accidently dropped and got broken. Is there any Chinese protocol that I should follow for the proper disposal (or throwing away) of the old Money Frog? 1. Feng Shui items, including the Money Frog, are not believed to have real mystical powers. The Money Frog in particular is often seen as more of a marketing idea and is mainly used for decoration. 2. Because of this, these items don’t need any special rituals or formal steps when you’re done with them. They’re generally treated more like decorative art pieces. 3. If you’re concerned a…

Dear Bill, If your local book store does not have the books, you can order it from Amazon.com. (Alternatively you should be able to purchase it from other major cyberbook stores e.g. Barnesandnobles.com. Books by Raymond Lo:- 1. Feng-shui and Destiny by Raymond Lo. I think this is one of his first books. I call it a "classic book" because it is clearly written and in general gives you a basic understanding of all well known Compass School methods of Feng Shui. Such as the Eight House Theory, a short write-up of Pilalrs of Destiny and a " dab " of the use of Flying Star Theory and the use of the three coin method in I-Ching divinity. Other of his books 2. Feng Shui and Des…

These are some considerations: 1. Yes, in a broad sense, one MAY not go wrong when choosing a Mandarin name UNLESS:- 1.1. One also wants to literally convert or have an identical name in Mandarin. 1.2. Here, some English name(s) when pronounced or translated or phonetic-sound-like some inauspicious Chinese name. 1.3. For example, sometimes names with "flowers" may turned out to be a name associated with a Prostitute den in Mandarin. 2. Otherwise, if you never going to convert or translated your name into Mandarin, then there is no chance that you may get this wrong. 3. Please see attachment. All my brothers, sisters and cousins belonging to the same generation are define…

If it is confirmed on no-man's land. Then this "bird" is dead meat. As either way (direction); this bird either meets the devil or the deep blue sea full of sharks.

Dear Eve, Actually, I personally do not think that is absolutely correct. It is similar to saying that everyone has the same Eight House Direction or Pillars of Destiny. To determine if a statement is accurate, we need to consider which theory the Feng Shui Master used for their prediction. I am not sure if you have seen the recent emails about Chinese Astrology and the 12 Animal Signs. From that perspective, you will notice that everyone’s luck for the year varies, depending on both your own animal sign and the animal sign of the year. You may want to continue using the cures suggested based on your Pillars of Destiny. In addition, you could also consider …

These are some considerations:- 1. Frankly, you don't get the earlier idea? 2. Your green arrow sign pales in comparison to the TWO red arrows that I had drawn. 3. By the way (BTW) these are SHA QI or poison arrows. 4. More critically: go find out what this terms means : TRIAGE This is particularly true to determine which is a better location for say the staircase area.

1. In the layout plan, as the bedroom / proposed study room door opens (at the side of that bedroom/study), Layout 2 is acceptable. 2. It is only personal feelings that we cannot immediately see someone coming into the room; otherwise Layout 2 is acceptable. 3. From a Shapes and Forms point of view, Layout 2 is better. As you had mentioned: by placing the two tables against both sides of the wall, this would bring several advantages: a. more spacious and easier movement b. easier cleaning c. visually looks more pleasing to the eye. Anonymous wrote: Generally, I'm more pro towards layout 2 but my husband is worried about his back facing the door. Actually, can we clarif…

Dear Master Cecil, Once again thanks for the information provided. About the internal well its a big gamble so long as the exterior can be remedied at least there is a chance. Its no point if the exterior is a lost case and one were to purchase the property. Interior well only god knows and if only money grows on tree then there wouldn't be any problem as renovation could be done. Am only a salaried worker so hope that the business aspect would not have too much trouble for me or my partner. There is surely a drainage behind the property and if I am not mistaken its not too big... just a small drain and both the sides (back lane) are lock. If one were to open the door at…

Thank you foryour clarifications. Based on your reply,my neighbour'sba gua mirror serves two purposes, mainly protection and wealth. Besides adopting your solutions mentioned in point 8 & 9,are there any other simpler solutions to adopt? There are no conflicts between my family and my neighbours so I do not wish to create ba gua war with them. My intention is just to adopt measures to protect my family if my neighbour's ba gua mirror should create some bad impact on my family. Are there any feng shui items I can placed somewhere near my main door to act as a protection against my neighbour's ba gua mirror? Thank you for your time and hope to receive your reply. Tha…

Dear Davi, 1. Thank you for asking an interesting question especially since it involves your personal Pillars of Destiny "eight characters". 2. I have a very real concern not only with such " Four Pillars " software(s) as they can as you have seen for yourself, provide inaccurate information 3. Let me show you why the above computation is `flawed' or inaccurate:- 4. Your Date of birth: 7 Sep 1981 (This is based on the Western Solar Calendar) In the Chinese Lunar Calendar, your date of birth would be: The Lunar Year of: 10 Day, 8 month, Year 1981. In another type of calendar called the Hsia or Xia (or seasonal or Chinese solar calendar), your date of birth would be: …

A. COLOUR OF THE MAIN GATE:- 1. Frankly, in my opinion, in modern times; this type of thinking is like "stone age" ideas. 2. For sure, if you are living in Singapore, I can assure that I have literally walked thru so many various landed property estates: in the East, North-East, West, NW, Central/Southetc.. 3. I have yet to come across "multi" coloured in particular: the main gate. 4. I have yet to come across a blood or maroon red main gate nor a blue coloured one nor a bright yellow (unless it is a temple). B. COLOUR OF THE MAIN DOOR:- 5. However, for the main door, yes, colours are considered. 6. Many geomancers in Singapore; felt that Singapore island is in the "so…

Thanks for bring this up. I guess it is the use of English. To clarify, you should first find the centre of the house. An example is shown at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm. Next, you should use an ordinary compass and stand at the centre of the house. The direction, the main door faces is the direction of the door. At a later date, I will revise the page and `correct' the English so that is is no longer ambigious. Once again, thanks for hightlighting this information. Cecil

These are some considerations: 1. In the past, careers were straight-forward. For example, a butcher is a butcher, a merchant is a merchant etc... 2. Nowadays, with both multi-skilling and management studies like strategic planning; Professor Porter's Five Forces to evaluate an industry and core-skills; things have become complicated. 3. In addition, it is often "complicated" by education and education system. 4. For example, in Singapore; our education system in the past, in my opinion is still more of reguritation of facts or reproducing them. And not very good for innovation. 5. And the majority would rely on their education certificate: for example, an accountant woul…
