Hi, This is a good question. In general, some of the ancient practises may not be applicable to certain countries or location. In China, e.g. in Beijing the Chinese usually have the main doors at the South cardinal point. The problem with having windows or doors at the North is because either of the cold winds from the North or the `yellow' dust at the North. We can understand that such situations do not apply to many people in the world. In our present situation, ideally, if you are living in a landed property, to safeguard your home, you should have a backdoor but with good set of locks or even an alarm sensor at the back of the house. More importantly, you should apply…

Dear Adrienne, In my opinion, there should not be a major issue as to where it should be placed as overall, it is considered as a `metal' element. Overall, since it is weapon, it should be safely locked up and if possible, the ammunition should be (where possible) kept separate from the gun. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Master Lee, We know that the Grand Duke is located in the north. Is it okay to work out in this area since our gym is located here? They say we should not disturb the Grand Duke so I'm just wondering if working out is disturbing him because of the noise generated by the the treadmill, spinning bike and workout DVDs.

Dear Anon, 1. The word "Hai" refers to the term " Water " 2. If it is a dragon, the word behind the sculpture should instead be " LONG " or dragon 3. For the word " SU " Chinese characters or words close to it. So, here, it can mean many things. What is the relationship of the Serpent and Dragon in Chinese beliefs? It is said that in Chinese folk lore, after 500 years of exisitence a SEA SERPENT transform and becomes a SCALY Dragon. Another transformation is after 1000 years when this SCALY Dragon becomes a horned Dragon. Again after another 1000 years, it becomes a Dragon with wings. In my opinion, your figure has this saying: "Encourage one to be diligent" *JOKE* Not su…

No worries, I don't mean that you are racist. Usually, in cosmopolitant Asia, we are discreet in bringing up such question(s). As does highlight differences between races. Frankly, although theseacademically can be classified under the Five Elements concept; it is "peanuts" if we consider other factorsor weigthage like a home with "quantum leap" in Feng Shuietc... Here in our culture we call it "Kachang puteh" application. (Smaller influence).

Dear Ginny, Actually, the preferred shape is the "Earth" element: rectangle or square. Oval, is not the best shape. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- My advise is that if (one really wants to hang a windchime) it would be better to hang a 6 rod (hollow) wind chime instead of 5 rods wind chime. Symbolically 5 rods could invariably; represent "bad earth #5 element). A six rod windchime symbollically represents 6 metal or `Big metal'. You could hang the wind chime 1/2 feet away from the door. In my opinion, it would not be advisable to place an altar facing the main door. Or exactly facing the main door. The rationale is that it may be considered `disrespectful' as this may imply that the altar `gods' are tasked to look after the home. Much like a `security' guard. It would be advisab…

Dear Anon, Appreciate if you can elaborate further as to what you mean by bad Feng Shui at the main entrance i.e what is the poison arrow. Usually, there is currently not much information about the `effects' of using a cross on the main door for such a purpose. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Under symbolism, in Feng Shui, some geomancers felt that placing "living" things in the bedroom is not a good idea. 2. To them, "living things" including plants and flowers are considered yang. 3. And a bedroom is for rest = more yin condition. 4. Thus some geomancers are not in favour of having even a bouquet of flowers in the bedroom. 5. The above is based strictly on the idea of symbolism. 6. As there are three kinds of luck:- 6.1 Heaven luck (born with - Ba Zi) 6.2 Earth Luck (Feng Shui) 6.3 Human or man luck factors (own feelings) 6.4 all three equally divided gives 33.3 percent each of luck. 7. Some of us, perhaps, yourself feel very good about having such a bri…

Further to what I had mentioned: 1. Usually, the cure applied to a Flying Star sector is to neutralise it. 2. As you have correctly mentioned, a bedroom should be harmonised to the bread winner. 3. For example, if one is a a Strong Water person, make sure that the Flying Star sector is in balance. If the Flying Star sector is out of balance e.g. #5 with #2 and #3, then it is preferred to use a metal cure. This metal cure is used to try to neutralise the bad sector. And often, it is not meant to affect say a Strong Water person. But, if a sector has too much metal e.g. #6 and #7 with say #8 and year star is only #2 or #3 etc... Since there is already a #6 (big metal) - on…

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, I believe that it is more of a `coincidence'. 2. One must understand that if something although is easy to implement but get mixed results or that results do not always have the same `happy' ending, it is difficult to be used effectively or applied to everyone. While, situations like a sharp edge of a building aimed at main door of another house has been known to cause problems, we understand that this is indeed a problem and specific cures can be used and most of the time with positive results. 3. Thus, even if the wind chime is good, some of us do not know that it can certainly work at all sectors or must it be at e.g. the West, or east. Oth…

Dear Anon, One of the `principles' in relation to neutralising `objects' is to remember that it has to be `activated'. For example, even a simple table fork has been effectively used by some FS Masters to counteract / neutralise a sha qi. Here, one should remember to point it to the `sha location'. It is usually not advisable to use a sword as one has a problem deciding how to place it. Furthermore, it should not be hang within a home. Under `Symbolism', a knife or pointed object creates sha qi and this would inadvertenly affect the household, a bedroom a living room etc... Instead, one should use other non offensive methods. For example, I have mentioned that one princip…

Dear Anon, Welcome to the forum! To be honest, crystals are modern invention. For us Chinese, just imagine a generation earlier or a few generations, back! There is no such thing as crystals! In general, man made crystals only appear in my opinion, in recent times (may be 30 years or later). Under the Holy Trinity of Luck:- a. Heaven Luck - Is based on when we are born and our luck or our destiny from that day b. Earth Luck - Feng Shui of a home or office c. Human Luck - In the past, human luck does not really costs any monetary value. But, with so many people, using our feelings to get us to buy products in the "name-of-Feng Shui". Usually most products are c…

Dear Anon, Hanging a hulu is symbolic in nature thus brass, wood or marble are acceptable with either red or metallic looking string. The only difference is the mark-up or price to line the pocket of the seller. The saying goes, it does not matter if the hulu is made entirely of good quality jade or completely made of 999.99 percent gold etc... Here, it is only a matter of paying $$$$. "A hulu, is but only a hulu". Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Carina, It is advisable not to hang a mirror facing the main entrance. But this can still be done, especially if one has done a full Feng Shui audit. Usually, pictures e.g. nice paintings or calligraphy are acceptable. If your neighbour is a Chinese, it is advisable not to hang a Ba Gua mirror or even the shape of it. As this may trigger a Ba Gua `war'. A Ba Gua `war' is a lose-lose situation. Nobody wins. I recounted, a situation, where I noticed one neighbour placed a ba gua mirror on their main door. The neighbour had no choice but to place a convex Ba Gua mirror to reflect back. No one wins here. Although you quite rightly mentioned that the profile of th…

In my opinion, recommended:- Wooden door but colour of door should range between: Pine wood tone to not darker than teak wood tone. (Maple wood tone) is acceptable.

Dear Anon, There is quite a diverse group of users in this forum and not all are of Chinese `origin'. It is quite common for Westerners especially those celebrating Christmas to hang a " bouquet " or a round Christmas decoration on their door. In my opinion, it is very difficult to say whether this practise is `good' `bad' or neutral. What is more important is trying to understand what each Feng Shui / Divinity (Pillars of Destiny) can help us and apply them. We should then classify such objects as of `secondary' importance. The only thing I personally feel is that where possible try not to hang `dried' plants or flowers on the door. This is because it usally turns brown…

Dear Annie, annie koh wrote: I would like to know the considerations to look into before I hang a family photo on the wall. Is it alright to hang it on a wall that faces the side of the Goddess of Mercy that I have on an altar and the photo also faces the storeroom? A family photo is a private and personal. It is often kept in your family album where possible. Even if you wish to blow up a picture to hang in your home, you also want to keep in private, so really the best location to place such family photo is in the privacy of your study room or even hall way for example. Small photos on table or desk etc is perfectly fine, but big photos that are hung say in the livin…

Dear Anon, Flying Star imbalances must be corrected regardless of what element you may be. After you work in the cure for the sector, then you can work on creating the necessary influence for you and your husband. For a Strong Earth and Strong Metal person, you will need to have Water (blue/black/gray) and Wood (green/brown) elements to keep the Strong Earth and Strong Metal in check. Once a cure is placed, just focus on other decoration in the room to ensure that they are favourable to both of you. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research.
