Dear Master Cecil: I apologize for not being clear about the description of the house. The front door opens up to a "good size" foyer area. There is only one staircase leading up to the second floor. The staircase is on the left hand side of the foyer area. Nonetheless, the staircase is "not" situated in the range of the front door. The other end of the foyer is (1) a closet (for guests to hang their coats) and (2) a hallway that leads to a room for families to eat breakfast and snacks. To be specific, when the front door opens up, the first view farther to the foyer is the side wall of the closet, which occupies roughly more than 1/2 of the range of the front door. And t…

You definitely want to consult someone familiar with east asian medicine and qi flow in the body. A specialist can tell you whether or not it's something to worry about and based on the location, if there is a problem, tell you what's wrong. It's written that if it is a problematic black spot it means "stagnation of qi, degeneration of organ, or stagnancy due to an old injury."(Yang, 1998)

Dear Anon, Your question reminds one of the state regulations in Singapore. Where, we are only allowed to display the national flag prior to national day and must take it down within a reasonable date after the national day is over e.g. 1 month, later. Unlike in the US, where one can display the a reasonably good condition flag all year round. In your question, it would certainly make or sense to celebrate Chinese New Year (CNY) with the decorations. But after 15 days or slightly longer, it would not make much sense to display the decorations -- other than some Chinese continue to hang a red banner "Ang chai" all year round above their door. Once CNY is over, it is bes…

Dear Anon, More importantly, you should have completed your renovations on or after Chinese New Year 2004. In addition, if you had given your townhousea fresh coat of paint then the better. In addition, if your townhouse feels fresh and does not have too much clutter all over, then there is a very high likelyhood, that you home can be considered as more of a Period 8 home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jaye, Jaye E wrote: How do you compute for the percentage of the five elements balance in the 10 year luck pillars please??? thank you. This percentage in every 10-yearly luck pillars was specially tabulated by us for our users. We make use of the different 10-yearly/5-yearly/yearly/6-monthly luck changes to factor out a weightage for each luck period. This value is then factored into the inital percentage to allow users to see howthe percentage changes during each 10-yearly luck. For example, inital luck period you may only have 10% fire. But in certain luck period where fire becomes much more, then percentage can increase to a much higher percentage. Telling yo…

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Time Dimensions and Flying Star #numbers 1.1. Current significance of star numbers: 1.1. Under the Flying Star Feng Shui, there are a total of 9 numbers or 9 grids or (9 star ki). 1.2. We are now under Period 8: 2004 to 2023. 1.2.1 According to the Flying Star Period; the reigning number is suppose to be very auspicious. 1.2.2 The major stars under the 20 Year Flying stars are the #Water and #Mountain stars. While many geomancers treat the base star (or palace) star as of lesser significane. 1.3. Therefore since we are under Period 8: 2004 to 2023:- 1.3.1. #8 = Current Prosperity = Very auspicious often considered as current luck …

Dear Anon, Can I check with you whether are the 2 rectangular chimneys (tangent) or if you stand at the window, and looking out directly, (without looking sideways) can you see the two rectangular chimneys? Usually, if you are in doubt, one can use the curtains (but if it is too dark) then use window blinds. Warmest Regards, Cecil

In my opinion, if you are into DIY, these are some considerations: 1. You said "we have this wall facing my daughter's room." 1.1 I assume that you are referring to an extra block's wall. (As I always mention, often when some one writes texts, they assume that everyone else understands ?) 1.2 If assume it is Para1.1; then if there is a window of daughter's bedroom facing this wall; common sense says that her study table (if any) should not face this "wall" as often light can be reflectec into her room. 2. Your question about what cures etc.. This is very common: understand this term "TRIAGE" or search for this term.

Traditionally, this "clash" does not affect one's wealth. Especially if both neighbour's and your main entrance does not face each other directly. It may be considered to affect relationship with the "neighbour". Thus, if your company does not have any direct dealings with the opposite neighbour, then, no major issue. Anonymous wrote: We are building our office. We are on the last part of the construction and we noticed that our gate is directly opposite our neighbors gate. I know that gates facing each other is not very lucky, what do we do? Should we put a wall instead? But if we do put a wall, then we would have no garage. Help.

Dear Lysa, 1. As a `beginner' to Feng Shui, I suggest you take your time to `digest' all the various forms of Feng Shui. 2.The main consideration is that most of the time, most of us do not really need Feng Shui to enhance our lives (contrary to what some may think). 3. Some of the questions one can ask if one really (or desperately need Feng Shui is):- For self: 3.1. Does one or a family member falls sick often? 3.2. Does accidents or misfortune occur? Usually, if the answer is No for both 3.1 and 3.2, one do not really need Feng Shui. As these are no longer `life threatening' situations and if one can live without Feng Shui for so long, why not live without it. Many …

Thank you, I will try this. Now I need advice for the office there is some one here that wants to get me fired, at least that's the conclusion I've come to.She vandelizes my desk and when she does something wrong she finds a way to blame me for it. She is very cunning and hasvery convincable ways of going about this. She dumps all of her work on me and she doesn' t do a thing all day. I work as hard as I can, and thanks to her I'm not getting the credit I deserve, she gets credit for things she doesn't even do. When I get a good idea and she hears it, she goes to my bossand passes it as her idea.What can I do to stop this.

1. Take a look at this link: http://www.geomancy.net/events/CDL_FS_Talk/talk_1_slide_19.htm 2. Frankly, you are only trying to apply "one miserable" concept of Feng Shui. 3. As the above link implies: there are many "styles" in Kung Fu and in Feng Shui; there are many concepts not just again : Feng Shui cannot rely only on the Eight House concept. 4. No wonder, drawing a parallel to Kung Fu, one would be beaten to a pulp if one applies one concept only... 5. The same goes, here.. 6. By "hook or by ...... " one has to apply more concepts then talk about realistic ways to either:- 6.1. Enhance qi and hey! 6.2. Also neutralise bad qi... The saying goes it takes two hands …

These are some considerations:- 1. In general, often; the consensus of many geomancers is that id there is a DOUBLE #8's in say Period 8; one should not consider MS8 as standalone. 1.1. Many geomancers would often offer or recommend a "water position" for say a Double #8 sector in Period 8; a Double #9 sector in Period 9 etc... 1.2. Thus when the Double #8's meet; one should not think or pull out the roots of one's hair as to : if I use "water" to activate the Water star #8; what about the mountain stair #8 then? 1.3. A well balanced water position consists of all five elements: e.g. Metal (round); earth usually rectangular or granite or marble stones for the fountain; w…

Dear Linh, Congratulations on your new home and thanks for the detailed description. Based on just the Shapes and Form School in relation to elevation, it is good to have the house slightly higher than its `surrounding'. Therefore based on what you had written, can be considered auspicious. Sometime back, there was an example from a Feng Shui author (I forgot which book) but the author mentioned that it is auspicious to have the car drive up to a higher level. The poor thing was that the car was driven above steps and in the result was that the car had higher repair bills. Some Feng Shui practioners asks some to walk up stairs (symbolic of a raise). I leave it to each …

Dear Angelica, 1. The most common Chinese astrology or Zi Wei Dou Shu is generally based on one's Year of birth. 2. For compatibility purposes, if we use the Year of birth only; then it is quite general. In my opinion, one reading of one person may not be enough. Another element to take note is that of " auto-suggestion ". For example, if we found out that a "Horse person" or a person under the above sign is considered:- "A Dragon person is lively and full of vitality. They are determined and have lots of self-confidence. Dragons are strong fighters, follow own judgement and can take control and deal effectively with any problems. They are also admired but have few cl…

These are some considerations: 1. In my opinion, on the contrary, often or rather the "opposite" is the case. Here, for majority of people; they would think "thrice" or none-at all; the notion of putting their ancestor tablet in other people's home. 2. Firstly, as you had metioned; if we were to place ourselves in other's shoe; we would not want to "inconvenience" the "owner" of the home in imposing our "ancestor tablet" in other's home since perhaps we are renting only a room. 3. But, if you are renting the entire home; yes, so long as the tenant does not drill holes; and they bring in an altar plus gods and/or ancestor tablet; this has been done before. 4. But if the ho…

1. The most likely facing direction should be "apartment building that is elevated above street level and is facing the ocean" or the apartment building "facing" direction. 2. If the home has a "known" history e.g. if one has stayed in this home for several or more years, can draw a chart based on Para 1 and usually another chart (standing inside the main entrance door looking outside of the home). These two are the main defacto "facing" directions commonly used by all professional Feng Shui practitioners.

Dear Jocelyn, Thank you for bring up this question. Presently there are many users in this forum and it is good to mention this subject. One way is by asking questions: 1. What is truly traditional Feng Shui practises? 1. At the highest form is called Taiji. 2. The next level is --> the Yin and Yang principle 3. One level below is --> the Five Elements Concept The highest form called Tai Ji is merely a term which we can broadly say that it is the union of Yin and yang in balance. All Feng Shui principles, theories and concepts must embody Yin and Yang. At the lower level is the Five Elements Concept. It is said that everything is made up of the Five Elements i.e. it…

Dear Joe, Glad to hear from you!:) 1. An alternative for closing the door is to keep the location bright. Under the Eight House Theory, it is best to concentrate on two primary locations: a. The bedroom (especially the master bedroom) b. The main entrance door. Overally, so long as the location is kept bright (natural lighting is the best) where the curtains are not too thick nor closed all the time. If one party likes privacy, and closes the door, the rest can leave their door open as you have mentioned to allow Qi to circulate. The other point is that if under the Flying Star Theory and so long as there is no 2 star (sickness) or 5 star (misfortune); between the two th…

Dear Leigh, In my opinion, many traditional practitioners of Feng Shui strongly believe that we should not reverse the readings for the southern hemisphere. I am not going to comment on the use of the "fixed template" or the placement of a "fixed" bagua onto a layout plan as this is a modern invention. And not widely practised by Traditional School(s) of Feng Shui. The example of water draining out of the sink the opposite site which differs clockwise or anti-clockwise between the North and South hemispere is often used by those who reverse the readings. There are lots of arguments against this such as the Five Elements Concept: Metal - Water - Wood - Fire - Earth ce…

Dear Anon, There are differing views on this: 1. Some FS practioners find it inauspicious to have the face of the clock face into the living room. Here, it is similar to the concept where it is advisable not to have a clock `face out' of the living room window. It is acceptable if the clock is `meant' to bounce an inauspicious poison arrow. 2. As a clock tower is a narrow tower, and if in a child's room, it is located on the right side of the window, this is considered "penmanship" peak where it is auspicious as this represents a child can become a scholar. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, I know that you like to know more about this theory, but as you know I have not released this report to all users. (Currently only previewable by Beta Testers.) The reason being is that I have yet to put in the explanation or have not been fine tuned to be ready for use. Please give me some time to concentrate on the development for the official release. Once I release the module for the public, it will be accompanied with explanation. And I will also post information relating to how to apply them and which tools takes priority over what. The main chart you see is a snapshot of improving a person's life and wealth. I actually did not want to release it until it…
