Dear Kaushal, In my opinion, other than if the house has good Feng Shui qualities and if the buyer is aware of FS, one can use it as a selling tool. Otherwise, I read with `amusement' some `cures' suggested include tie a ribbon etc... Many factors include the selling price, market conditions and equally ... luck. Regards, Cecil

Dear Jo, 1. Usually no one does that especially pasting it e.g. on a main entrance door. (Under commonsense), it would not be appropriate to come up to the main door and greeted by a tiger with its mouth opened. 2. For the belief on `guardians' of the main door , for example, usually, they come in pairs e.g. two lion statues on each side of the door. 3. Even in some Chinese homes or temples, you see two door Gods on each side of the door. 4. Perhaps, one can have two split image of the tigers on a door. But usually this is not the norm but rarely if some does it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- Nothing much one can do unless one moves the toilet away from this sector. However, it is best to look at the overall house instead of just that particular sector by itself using the major FS theories such as Shapes and Form and Flying Star. For the definition of a missing corner in a house, it should be more than 33.3 percent of that sector's area. Use the url: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/building.htm to check the signifiance of the `missing corner'. For example, if the missing corner is at NE, here, in FS, it implies one may have poor planning. This is in contrast better than a missing corner at the North which may signify meeting …

Dear Cindy, Please sent a private message to: robert-lee@geomancy.net We would try to provide you with the necessary reports to do a self-audit. However, you may need to do some homework such as determining the direction of main entrance etc... You should have no problem input the various information required to generate a Home Audit. Take care! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Christina, In my opinion, based on Chinese culture, there is a wish that good numbers bring one luck. Few people relate the relate the no. of fishes to one's kua number. But rather, many people such as Chinese (Cantonese dialect) or Hong Kong people spent money on `numbers'. For example, in my part of the country, we pay bids for car numbers e.g. such single digit new car numbers such as 8 or 9. Therefore, I feel that it would be nice to have the above number of fishes. (Not compulsory thou). This is a separate matter from a Feng Shui audit where the FS practitioner advise their clients to place a certain number of fishes either gold or black to neutralise Sha Qi. In…

Dear Robin, First of all, a warm welcome to this forum. Feel free to check back past messages which I believe, would help to understand Traditional Feng Shui. 1. The key essence of a good Feng Shui house is based on Shapes and Form School. 2. In order to achieve a quantum Leap in Feng Shui and not entangled under a vicious cycle of `poor' Feng Shui is to look at how a piece of land (it can be the entire neighbourhood) and your specific piece of land can be seen to be able to accumulate wealth. 3. Here, for example, even before one builds a home on the land, a competent FS practitioner is sought to advise on the piece of land and plot where a house can be constructed which…

Dear Anon, The best form of `metal' element is one's clothings. Where possible try to wear white coloured clothings. For example, for men, you can continue to wear dark colored trousers and the best colour for shirts are white or white with `gold'. You need not necessarily wear all white but even white shirt with stripes etc... Same concept for ladies. For a car colour, it would be nice to have a white colored car or gold/yellow colour. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, In my opinion, house numbers are not really based on Feng Shui but numerology. However, within numberology, there are many (many) types of formulas. Sometimes it does not even go into forumlas or methods but simply, the phonetic sound `like'. It is my believe that, if I were to look for a home, my first consideration is location, location and location. I apologise for writing location x 3. But seriously, location is the most single factor that has an impact in Feng Shui and affects our luck. If I were to buy the house, if the house has excellent, good or even average FS, I do not mind buying the house with the no. 2506. Usually, in Asia, where the weekly purcha…

Dear Susan, We have to see it from two perspectives: 1. If we do not relate it to Feng Shui concepts, simply choose a neutral color like white or a color that you feel that would look good at this sector. 2. Under Feng Shui, we study each person's element and strength plus the house chart and then `select' a colour scheme for the sector. Usually, most of the time, like in Para 1, a neutral color like white or pastel or light shades of a color onto white is ok. We also have to use a common sense approach. Here, check to see the lighting in the home. If there is always natural light, it would be nice to keep the home `naturally' bright and again a neutral color would be nic…

Dear Kate, Usually, it would be best to close the toilet door when not in use and keep the location bright and dry. (Thus keeping it more Yang than Yin). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Judy, 1. Poison arrows are `objects' that point towards e.g. the main entrance of the house or through a window into the house. For example, it can be a corner of another house pointing into the house `like' an arrrow' head. Alternatively it can be a lamp post which if one visualises, slicing (like a knife) cutting thru the main entrance door. 2. In a room, poison arrows usually are sharp corners pointed towards e.g. the bed. 3. Overhead beams are considered `Sha Qi' and not poison arrow as it is not aimed at the person or bed but rather it `weighs down' or seem to put on a "pressure" downwards. 4. Position of beds e.g. placing it against a wall for solid support or …

Dear Michal, 1. Many elements of "Shapes and Form" School of Feng Shui is about commonsense approach. 2. The main thing one should remember is that we should make the `room' fit us rather than to "re-design" ourselves to fit the environment. 3. Here, it does not sound appropriate for you to fit into the "principles of FS" based on the book, do re-examine, what you would have done if you have not picked up the book on Feng Shui. 4. Under the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui, things should be `natural' e.g. placing the bed at a location where one feels comfortable. For example placing the bed against a solid wall. 5. Only after one has done the above and have the luxury…

Dear Niteka, 1. It is difficult to say that one has an area related to the career area and another room? related to ... money room. Or another room related to romance. 2. In my opinion, if it is not personalised to an individual or using Feng Shui in a holistic way, this type of `understanding' is too general to be able to work. 3. I believe that applying fixed template although can bring one "hope", it can also conversely bring one disappointment. As such concepts means that it applies to everyone and I feel that it is too "generalised". Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Doreen, 1. Based on the Eight House Theory, this implies that the house is not the best suited for you and your husband. 2. Usually, this is not the "end of the world". 3. You should also consider the intangible force affecting both of you in the bedroom. If possible, the person with the more auspicious intangible force sleeps closer to the direction and the other spouse sleeps on the opposite site (shielded by the spouse). 4. It is best to keep the main entrance area `bright' and natural lighting (if possible).

Dear Niteka, Currently, to the best of my knowledge, the two main holistic method of Feng Shui are: 1. Traditional School of Feng Shui originated from China. Here, the Shapes and Form and Compass Schools: Eight House and Flying Star. 2. Nine Star Ki. Which is a variant of the Compass School of Feng Shui more popularly adopted in Japan and applied by UK practitioners such as Jon Sandifier. 3. Although Nine Star Ki is one and the same as e.g. Flying Star, it is on its own a holistic approach. Where it can be used to analyse person to a home. 4. However, because Nine Star Ki uses its own methodogy and `packaged' method of finding out things, it is difficult to mix and match …

Dear Lisa, In my opinion, if one already does not have a water position at the back of the house, it is best not to have one. In general, under Feng Shui (Shapes and Form), it is not advantages to have water positions behind the house. This follows the concept that the back of the house should have a solid-backing. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Robin, The information provided is too general, it is difficult to say what is causing the problem. Under Feng Shui, usually it can be analysed using a combination of: 1. Shapes and Form with regards to Yin and Yang concept. 2. Using the Flying Star theory to find out if the room is too Yin or has Yin factors. Usually, under the Flying Star, it would have to go at least further into the Flying Star of the day or time. The situation would arise if in the day/time at the specific sector has a relatively high concentration of Yin factors. But for a layman, it would be difficult to track all these. There are also other factors such as `Sleeping problems'. 2. In a recent…

Dear Susan, 1. In Traditional Feng Shui, in certain homes, that has been analysed using the Flying Star Chart, there may be specific combination of mountain star and water star which is based on the 81 interpretations that has reference to `legal' problems. 2. There is also one of the base numbers associated with it. 3. As Feng Shui is based on a holistic approach usually, a good FS practitioner would help one to maximise one's Earth Luck i.e. Feng Shui of the home. There are other factors or variables which include one's Ba Zhi or Pillars of Destiny involved. Here one tries to map out one's Heaven Luck and by understanding issues like our element and strength and luck p…

Dear Anon, This can be a controversial subject. So should I take the GMT timezone into account? Our answer is no. You should not take the GMT timezone (+0800) etc to adjust your date of birth. This is because due to the many simplification in the GMT timezone, it only takes into account a shift in one of the location factor in the world. The more accurate way is to take the timezone in accordance with the moon location. However, for most cases, it is different to provide the actual location where you are born. Thus, if you provide an inaccurate locationfactor, you risk the chance of making the report LESS accurate than NOT adjusting anything at all. As mentioned, the ini…

Dear Andreea, 1. In my opinion, Chinese Astrology like its cousin ( Western Zodiac signs ) provides a description of the `traits' of a person belonging to a `sign'. 2. I feel that these signs or readings if one consciously or unconsciously read about what it is like for a person, sometimes, we may tend to `believe' that our `traits' or characterstics are like that described. This may lead to `auto suggestion' and some of us may `follow' such characteristics. 3. For example, if we read that a `Rat person' is:- The Rat person is charming and ambitious. They are always busy and seldom able to relax fully. If not, they get bored easily or get bad tempered. They enjoy going t…

Dear Niteka, Yes, I also believe that as far as possible, the centrepoint of the home should have clear space. Particularly the movement of the elevator creates Sha Qi at the centrepoint of the home which is not ideal. (The near equavalent is the toilet at the centrepoint). The staircase is a secondary (problem) as when compared to the elevator. Frankly, we normally wish or hope that there can be an effective `cure' but this is best avoided (if one can). As this is Sha Qi with regards to Shape and Form. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sarah, 1. In Traditional Feng Shui, wind chimes need not necessarily meant to be hang in the north/north west part of the house. It depends. It depends on the individual FS audit done for the home. Usually, this is referenced to the Flying Star chart. 2. If we do not consider Para 1, or use intuition, or simply liked a wind chime and placed it at a location that we personally find suitable, it should be `non-intrusive' or should `fit' the location. A `commonsense' approach is that since the wind chime constantly touches your door, it should normally not touch the door. As this is also considered a `decorative' piece, it should blend with or harmonise with the locati…
