Older architecture examples: (it looks like at some point the structure may have been refit with modern materials, but I'm not sure) Contemporary architecture: Columns, posts, and pillars are considered to be sources of sha qi. However, they are also the most practical and inexpensive way to provide a generous overhang to protect buildings from rain and sun while creating outdoor living space. They have often been featured throughout the history of Chinese architecture. A central concept of feng shui I've learned from this site is to remember common sense. I'm wondering how Chinese architecture may ha…

There is a built-in storage cabinet behind the bed, but the headboard is solid. Does this still mean bad feng shui?

What happens if Block 15 is replaced by a flat area like a pool? It could be a bigger problem if the space where Block 15 was is now just flat land, and the blocks form a U shape with the open side facing west. If this happens, all three pools will be exposed to sunlight all day, which means water in the pools will evaporate faster.

Dear Anon, When facing a desk in front of a window with a sea view behind you, Feng Shui principles suggest having strong support at your back to provide stability and enhance positive energy flow. Using a low or back cabinet is a practical solution to supply this support while still enjoying the view. Alternatively, positioning your desk so that your back is against a solid wall and facing a favorable direction offers both physical and energetic support. This setup is preferable to sitting with your back towards a door or other less auspicious locations, which can disrupt focus and diminish your sense of security. Additionally, the overall Feng Shui of you…

Hi Master Cecil, Im trying to find a good date to move in, and according to online tong shu, 20th October 2025 is an auspicious day to move in. But when I put in the 30 Days Free Auspicious Date, the main owner date for 20th is inauspicious. According to the free auspicious date calculator, date 22nd October is a good day for all of us, but in Tong shu, 22nd October 2025 moving date is an inauspicious day. Which one should we follow for moving in date? As half of the family members are in school on weekdays, should we wait for all family members to be home to do the moving in ceremony( around 3pm plus) or should main breadwinner and myself do the move in c…

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 Tomas, In general, when we first open door; symbolically we want to "deposit" wealth into the new home or apartment. Start of renovations is often done. Here, the most simple procedure is to bring a hammer or a screw driver if we do not have the hammer and before starting renovations, usually say in mandarin " To all the gods, apologies, as I or we are starting renovations on ..... such a such a date." Afterwards, just knock three times on the floor or some on the wall. Usually Hokkiens practice more "simple procedures". Many Cantonese on the other hand, have the concept of 5-ghosts or spirits i.e. spirit or god of North, South, East, Wes…

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 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 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

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.

Hi Anon, Our system uses western date and time of birth as the input parameters. It will convert the western dob into lunar calendar for analysis. You will need to use the western dob to use our analysis. Based on your lunar calendar 21 day, 4th month, 1974, your western dob is either 12 May 1974 or 11 May 1974. Depending on whether you are born on the 1st 4th (Big Moon) month or the 2nd 4th (Small Moon) month. This is because that year has an intercalary lunar month. So there are two 4th months. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Hi Master Lee, My bed is currently against the wall due to the rectangular shape of my room and I understand that it is not ideal as energy flows from one side only and it may impact opportunities of finding a partner as well. I am thinking of rearranging my bed and study/work desk as per the image below. However, the “beam” will be above my bed and study/work desk if I shift to the below layout. Would you recommend I stick to the current layout or shift to the potential layout? Thank you!

Dear Cecil My wife and I are in the process of buying a house which is under construction and will be completed by August, 2004. The house faces SE and there is a garage door that faces NE. Back door looks out NW and faces steep up slope. My Kua number is 2 and my wife's 6. Is this house suitable for us? we are worried because the main door is facing SE. We'd really appreciate your thoughts on this. Sincerely Mo Mo

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 …

Dear Charlles, Frankly, auspicious date services aren't a free service that we provide. Itit s avalue added services we provide for our fullfeng shui audit services or a paid services on its own. However, it seems that there are many users who keep posting such questions in our advise forum where we cannot reply simply because in order to check dates many additional information is required. Anyway,for the benefit of all users, I have specially created a 30-days Auspicious Date Analysis report users to check out themselves:- URL: http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-dateboth.htm The only limitation is that is that it allows users to analyse only 30 days…
