Hi, Really sorry, but currently there is no ancient written documentation on cars. I think this is quite obvious as cars were not invented then. The only aspect is on whether it is auspicious to travel towards a specific location. If you are moving around your city or community, then this most likely cannot apply. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi, This is different from having a roof over a landed property. Here, if you are using e.g. blue tiles, the impact is on your house. But if you are living in a Hi-rise building, with a miniature fountain, this will not impact on your apartment. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Chris, 1. In addition to looking the Eight House of your child, do remember to see that especially the location of the bed is in a `good' position. For example, it should not be seen directly from the bedroom door or the headrest of the bed is at the window. There are some materials on this at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/theory.htm 2. Avoid overhead beams and any poison arrows such as sharp corners pointing to any part of the bed. 3. You mentioned that the death or disaster lines are `almost' in the middle of the rooms. There is a really not much you can do. Where possible, let them sleep closer to a more `favourable' intangible force. Under the Eight House Theory,…

Dear Alberto, To find out more about the North South Debate, please click on this link: http://www3dglobe.com/fs/addsites.htm#SOUTH Currently, no one has shown proof of the validity of the South Hemisphere model. Feng Shui can equally be applied both in the North and South.

Dear Carlene, From the description you have provided, it looks OK to add a window. The only acceptions are: 1. After it is installed, check that there are no poision arrows e.g. sharp corners from neighbouring buildings that point to the windows. 2. If Thee is a poision arow, you may need to neutralize it e.g. using thicker curtains. It is better to have a room with natural light than a dark room. For skyline, it is adviceable not to have it above a bedroom for privacy. For practical reasons and not Feng Shui, one reason is that it maybe exposed to thieves. Otherwise, it is acceptable to install a new window. "Listmanager" wrote: __________

Hi, 1. Basically, best to avoid sharp objects as this can create poision arrows ( or knives) that may be pointed to the bed or the study table. 2. For other objects such as a globe, it is acceptable. In real life, we would like to surround our homes with decorations and this is perfectly ok. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi, The element of pottery is Earth because it is made of `earth' or originate from the earth. Yes NE and SW are considered the Earth element. Therefore, some books ask that one place pieces of pottery at these locations. However, one can say that this is a " novice " method of looking at placement of objects in the home. Most authors will usually ask one to place water at the North or Wood at the East. Looking at it, I believe, this is very basic Feng Shui that should not be applied if you are using advanced theories especially the Flying Star. You should like what you have mentioned, look at using the Flying Star rather than such a very general theory. With a " 5 " you…

Hi Bob, 1. There are two views regarding the porch: - It should not be included with the house. - Some other practioners are unclear as to include it or not and `play' safe by including it as part of the home. 2. In my opinion, you should not include the porch to the house. If you do not include it as part of the house and find that there is no longer an indent, then it is fine. 3. Frankly, so far there are few practioners who uses such a technique i.e. placing a Ba Gua at the indent to offset the missing corner. In my opinion, it is ineffective to use a Ba Gua mirror to offset the indent i.e. it will not work. One way to offset the indent is through landscaping if this i…

Hi, Sorry for the delay in reply as I was giving a few talks last few days. You are free to wear rings because these are small objects and really quite insignificant to the wearer. Unless, you are going to wear a ring on each finger etc... Where possible, one or two rings at a time is acceptable. I know that some enterprising people are now begining to sell rings that promote `Luck', in the name of Feng Shui etc.. Sometimes this is psychological and `changes' our personality i.e. give a person something to hope. Otherwise, in general these are all commercial stuffs. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi, Overall, we do not really need to `worry' ourselves on new kitchen gadgets: 1. The fundamental reason is because if we do not get our " basics " correct all these little or minute issues are over written by " global issues ". For example, if one lives in an apartment and there is a large building that sent poison arrows to the entire building, this is considered bad Feng Shui. Or the house is at the Y junction or T junction. No matter how much we improve the interior of the house, it does not matter as the residents are having bad Feng Shui. The issue here is that they should first look at ways to `protect' e.g. their front door etc.. Nowadays, the focus is on the ind…

Hi Felicia, Many Traditional Feng Shui Masters use the Pillars of Destiny to advise on the type of Company Logo to be used: 1. For a company for example, they look at the type of business. In my country, one local bank has a ancient coin in the middle of their logo and a circular purple background. The coin symbolises the Metal Element and Banking is considered a metal element. Here, what is done is to use Purple = Fire element to `destroy' the coin in the centre. The end result is to produce Wealth. 2. Many also take advantage of their personal element to create Logos for their proprietorship. For example, a weak Wood person actually used a wavy logo in green i.e. Wavy p…

Dear Linh, If you are installing a lily pond, you have to take note of the following:- 1. The pond must not be greater than 33.3 percent of the entire area of the house. 2. Generally or personally it is considered not that favourable for a weak fire person to own a pond or fish tank. 2.1. As it was felt that this MAY greatly affect the person e.g. extinguish his weak fire element. 2.2. This will lead to severe problems e.g. health or intense competition at work. 2.3. Similarly, if one is a strong water person, this is equally bad as one has too much water and will lead to the person having difficulties in his life. 2.4. Fortunately, Feng S…

Hi, This " School " of Feng Shui believes that 5 hanging lights represents each of the Five Elements and can be placed a a location to represent each of the Five elements. It can be all of the same colour. Some went to extent of using five different coloured bulbs. Symbolically, in the day time one need not light up the bulbs. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi, This is really not Feng Shui but based on " superstitious beliefs ". So far, in my personal opinion, I have on occassions also have dried flowers at home and to me, really do not pose any problems. Your second point of giving red flowers is based (I believe) on the `culture' that giving e.g. red roses represents a romantic senario. But I guess, it can equally symbolise `love' of the person or boss. It should be seen as a `gesture' and not so of bad luck. As a Chinese, we do not give a Clock e.g. during house warming or buy shoes for the person. This is considered bad luck. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi, Colours are secondary to Feng Shui. For example, it is best to get the `basics' correct e.g. to have a good house situated on a good site etc... You can consider colours `nice to have' but not of primary importance. More importantly, choose a colour of the car that you like. I have read that there were some studies conducted (forgot the source) but one study mentioned that bright red cars are prone to accident. One reason is because the colour of the car blend with the brake lights and was not noticeable. This is before many new cars and countries require a third brake light especially at the back glass window or bonnet. So, in the past, it would be " foolish" if one…

Hi, In a " cold " country, it is acceptable to have a chimney. It is a good feature to have in such houses especially in the winter as it provides warm to the household. You can say that it is the near equivalent of the stove if we want to see it that way. A stove is a very important part of the home. However, we may perhaps look at the positioning of the chimney. This is considered a more important factor. I remembered that a few persons also written in much earlier (in the previous forum) that in their country, they have water pipes running along the floor of the house. If I am not mistaken it is Sweden. - Hope my memory is correct here). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Ber, Please read below:- Most likely, there is an inauspicious star number 4 somewhere in your bedroom or rooms which you are consist together. Or maybe you have some element which does not suit the both of you. However, without more details it is pretty difficult to access what's wrong. The only way I can suggest now is that check out the compatibility with the two of you, and see what is the suggested element that should bind the two of you. Try to have those element in places where you are always together. Normally, these should be ok, unless there are bad stars in that area which we are not aware of. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Glyn, Please read below:- Well, 8 is weak earth, crystal is water. If you look at water destroying 8 wealth, it is is good if you are a weak water wanting to enhance your wealth. However, if you look at it that 8 being an auspicious star water actually destroys the good star so it is not that a good cure. Rather an earthly type object would be better in terms of Flying star activation. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Joe, Please read below:- Suggest you have more wood colors which helps to enhance your weak fire. What is more important, is that the house must first suit the breadwinner, after it meets that. As for the other person, it would no matter so much to that person. However, given the person is a strong water, the person should control his strong water with wood element. Which happens to be the a weak fire. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Randy, Please see below: It is fundamentally more important to follow the Shapes and Form School e.g. the Four Symbolic Animals Concept i.e. have a solid support of the wall. In addition, it is nice to sleep with the head facing a good direction but this is secondary after sleeping in a good auspicious location. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi, Although there is a significance attached to the interpretation of each Trigram (hexagram) for each direction. This is about it. This is commonly known as the Eight Associations or Aspirations or Life Aspirations. One must remember that even the basic Compass School Eight house theory is personalised to a person i.e. based on his/her year of birth. Each one of us thus have a specific kua number. If you look at the Eight Aspirations Concept, it is applied to everyone and this really makes no sense. I have often quoted that if each of us e.g. 10 of us in an office places a picture frame or rose at the SW, and all of us are trying to get close to a specific colle…

A pyramid roof simply implies that the building takes on the element of Fire. A pyramid roof shows a pointed arrow upwards e.g. /\ / \ || Here symbolism is important. What this means is that it is pointed upwards e.g. progress. compare this with " V " downwards pointed which means down or a fall or thumble. Warmest Regards, Cecil
