1. The scientic method is to use the Eight House (Ba Cai) or Eight Mansions to determine the best bed-head directions for your children. 2. What you had mentioned, has more to do with "commonsense" Feng Shui or commonly known as "Commonsense approach to Feng Shui". 3. Here, commonsense prevails. For example, often the Chinese don't want to place a bed-head or a bed close to a window for one or more of the following reasons:- 3.1 "Safety concerns" Imagine, living a ground floor unit or the bedroom is along a common housing board corridor. And if the window(s) are open, and if there is an inconsiderate or cruel passerby, they may even throw in a lighted cigarette butt …

1. If they share the same wall but different level is OK. 2. Just check to make sure that especially: 2.1. The altar does not share a wall with a toilet. Do check that directly above the altar, there should not be a bed especially a women's bed. Steve L. wrote: Hi, I know it's not good for your bed head to share the same wall as your altar. But, what if the wall is separated by floor level? The altar is on first floor while the bed is on second floor... Thank You James

Dear Anon, It is ok for you to thrim the bushes in front of your main door as you are not `disturbing' the earth i.e. unless you are digging the earth at the east location. If you dig the earth, Symbolically place a metal object between the main door area. For example you can use a metallic foodtray or even a shovel on the wall. Metal will be able to shield the house and the trimming. It is best not to let the bushes overgrow as this would bring a different set of inauspicous qi especially since it is at the main entrance. Therefore, trimming does not distrub the earth. If there is a major digging going on in the East, the best metal to use is to place a car/vehicle bet…

Dear Miu Kwan, Please see below:- 1. Under Eight House Theory, `Irritation line' as it suggest is minor as compared to `death or disaster' sectors. 2. If there are no serious problems, especially health, you may if you want to `skip' Flying Star analysis. 3. Symbollically, in my opinion, it is still best to use the main entrance. Rather than become a `servant' yourself when using the back door. 4. Another "controversy" is that if the main door (frontage) is opposite the backdoor, it makes no sense to call the back door (facing the backyard) the main entrance. Here, removing the house number, to place at the back door, is not a `logical solution'. 5. The Eight Hous…

Dear Aloysius, Good Question. The idea, here is to complete or try to complete all renovations at these areas e.g. North (3killings);West (5 yellow) and NW (Grand Duke) for 2006before we move-into the home. Usually for those who purchased a new home or a resale home:- 1. Select a good date for initial opening of the main entrance door. 2. Select a good date to start renovations. Here, so long as one has not moved-into the apartment, as yet; contractors hacking or knocking or painting at North, West or NW (2006) does not matter. 3. Select a good date to move-in. What matters most is that once we moved-in, avoid doing further work at these three sectors. 2007 is near…

Dear Lisa, Under the Eight House Theory, it is more important to consider the intangible force e.g. whether one is sleeping close to one of our auspicious sector. For example, if the sector the wife's Health sector and the husband's "Irritation", then the wife sleep closer to this intangible force shielding the husband i.e. the husband sleeps further away. Only after the above consideration than, one sleeps with the head pointed to one of our best direction. If there is no `compromise' on a good direction, then this is still acceptable. This is because if one wants to "advance further in Feng Shui" may use other Feng Shui techniques like the Flying Star and also Shapes an…

Dear Master Cecil: I am unable to upload a sketch of the way of my house situates relative to my neighbors' houses. Let me see if I understand your message. I cannot cover all cases. I simply try to summarize what I observe on the street I live. Primarily, the street in front of a house determines the direction of the Qi comes from. Therefore, if a number of single family detached houses situated side by side facing a street: 1. The frontage of the houses that are closer to the street collect more wealth. 2. The frontage of the houses that are relatively distant from the street lose wealth to other houses. 3. The frontage of the houses that sort of tilt away from the stre…

1. In my opinion, the strongest influence are "family pressures". In the past, it could be the matriarch of the family - the eldest family member e.g. the grand mother or the great grand mother who has the final say. 2. Thus if the hierachy top down says No, it means totally NO! 3. In modern times; so long as both immediate families understand - reasonable explanation; and accept it, then go ahead... with it. 4. The reason why there is no issue with marriage in most years other than preferences such as dislike of Tiger year etc... is that one should select good dates or auspicious dates. 5. Thus, look at it this year, even if we are in a Tiger year;as thereare differe…

Dear Susan, Under the Holy Trinity of luck: 1. Heaven Luck (born with a silver spoon or not) 2. Earth Luck (Feng Shui of a home or office or place) 3. Human Luck (Usually, it is about us: have a feel good factor) Every home and even bedrooms have a limited scope to place a bed. Especially placing a bed that suits our bed-head direction - due to things like fixed door to the bedroom, windows etc.. Many of us try (nowadays) to do things in the name :sake of hoping to have better Feng Shui such as trying to place our bed-head towards a good direction. However, we should always consider this situation as NICE-TO-HAVE. And not a MUST-HAVE. What is more important is the Hu…

1. Please check out past forum messages on the best placement of such figurines:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=15799&new= 2. You can also use the SEARCH feature in this forum and find out more on the best placement e.g. odd interior layout ... etc... Anonymous wrote: Also since i bought the statue I have found out that traditionally Kuan Yin holds some willow in her right hand. The statue I have doesn't - does that make a difference? 3. In Singapore, very few who display the Guan Yin (Kuan Yin) figure ever place a willow in her right hand. So no issue if you don't have one i.e. it makes no difference.

If the kitchen has a window, then, you may consider especially a six hollow rod wind chime. If you really can't find a 6 hollow rod wind chime; then as a last resort, get those with hollow (rods). Your alternative of putting a clock with metal chime and pendulum is an alternative provided the pendulum is made of real metal. Nowadays, many "fake" pendulum clocks have pendulums that are made of plastic but sprayed painted in metallic colour.

Dear Daniel, Daniel Davis wrote: Currently I'm staying in a house which is belong to my wife. The house title is in her name. Is it to say, that what ever we do on the house, it should be base on my wife ??? The more important question you should be asking, is who is actually paying for the house? You see a house may be registered under your wife, but if you are paying for the house and you are staying there. You are more likely the breadwinner for the house. But if your wife is paying for the house, then it would be your wife as the breadwinner. Hope that helps to clarify. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

1. Overall, under Period 8, the better neutral colour that you may consider is light cream or beige. 2. Under Period 7 (1984 to 2003), the best neutral colour was white. Today, 2008, the best neutral colour is as mentioned under Para 1.

These are some considerations: 1. It is best to do a scientific triage. 1.1. What you mentioned is based purely on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. In order?to apply this properly, if the evaluator is not on the ground to study the situation; sometimes : a photo tells a thousand words. 1.2. This is because, sometimes contrary to a lay person; what you had described: the wall at the front entrance; this may not even be the "FRONTAGE" under both Shapes and Forms and?Flying Stars Feng Shui. 1.2.1 Especially if the house opens to a beautiful "backyard" etc... So you may in fact be describing about the "rear of the house" instead. 2. Flying Star Feng Shui can zoom in on areas…

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, I share the same view as what you had mentioned. 2. Based on observations, I do notice that many Chinese do not display deities like Kwan Imm in closed display shelfs. 3. This is like `imprisoning' the deity. 4. In some of the earlier replies, I have also mentioned:- 4.1. Do not place the statue in the bedroom or on the same wall as the toilet. 4.2. I have not mentioned this but some believers or Feng Shui practitioners do not advise that the statute be placed facing the main entrance door. To these practitioners or believers, it is to them, `disrespectful' to `employ' or `misuse' deities to "guard" your main door. Well, the above are some of…

Since you have already consulted your Feng Shui consultant, it is best to follow their advise given that your question is very general.

1. Please note that there is a free next 30 Days auspicious dates report at this URL: http://dates.geomancy.net 2. Since the dates provided are individualised to the person; it can be used for e.g. move-in or start of renovations. 3. From the resources under this link:-http://www.geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/fortunes-2010.htm Take note the following sectors:- Sickness Star this year is at North-East Misfortune/Sickness Star this year is at South-West Disputes/Quarrel Star this year is at South Education/Romance Star this year is at North Grand Duke this year is East-North-East, 60 Degree. - Avoid sitting facing the grand duke or disturbing him by hav…

This year 5 yellow also happens to be at South. Thus, especi…

Dear Sudha, Please see below:- Glad that you found the information useful:) The most important points to consider when using the Eight House is: 1. How suitable is the house to the breadwinner. As you have mentioned you can take into consideration your elder sister as the breadwinner. Preferably, the death or disaster intangible forces do not flow thru the main door for her. In this case, it is considered that the house is not suitable for her. 2. For yourself, it is less of a concern other than to check which locations you spent most of the time at. For example, where best, the inauspicious intangible lines do not flow thru your bedroom. Check out for the rest o…

Dear Spring, 1. The next best alternative is to ensure that the tree is properly trimmed since you are unable to cut it down. 2. Trimming the tree would help to reduce the `floor area' of the tree `foot print'. By doing so, will ensure that that sector is no longer too yin. 3. Trees are actually Yang. But because of the shadow that it casts below, it can create a too yin environment especially at the frontage of the home. 4. I am not sure what the three symbols are. Usually, the most common of the three symbols are the Fu (Prosperity) Lu (Luck) Shou (Longevity) symbols. 5. You can view the following pictures under this URL to see if they are similar to your three symbols:…

Dear SL, Frankly, in the past, there were no aircon. And we therefore, cannot rely on the past for any information on this. Overall, based on "commonsense" it would be best for airconditioning to blow "from the side" rather than blowing towards our face e.g. aircon behind the bed headrest or flowing towards our legs towards our face. This can be quite uncomfortable and may affect our breathing... Well for wind = money flowing out of the aircon, there is really no harm if one placed coins on the aircon. Coins which represent metal is one of the `safest' materials to use as most of us know that metal element can help to cure `bad earth' elements and `bad wood' elements. War…

Dear Alicia, Frankly, this aspect does not really come under Feng Shui. This is because there are a few major considerations like the price. In certain countries where FS is `believed', I have known a few cases where the agent of the owners pointed out some good Feng Shui details of the house. The buyers were `convinced' that this is relatively good house and went ahead to purchase the house. On the destiny portion, the use of Pillars of Destiny such as a favourable time to view the house etc... is sometimes used in the region where I am staying. Otherwise, it would depend on the price etc... Good Luck in the sale of your house. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi Cecil, I know there is posting on the Green Dragon & White Tiger. However, please excuse me because i cannot determine the GD & WT base on the explanation there as i'm living in an apartment with balcony allign to the main door. Can you please tell me whether i should stand inside the house facing the Main Door or Balcony to determine the left & right for Green Dragon & White Tiger?

Fyi, the whole apartment main entrance is also having the same facing as the balcony which face South. My Main Door faces North. Please help me so that i know…

Dear Anon, This question covers quite a "wide angle" or a range of thinking and practise: 1. If you have seen the picture of the house I described under http://www.geomancy.net/fs/grandpa1.htm One will see that the original house looks like it has a " head " i.e. the Ba Gua shaped frontage of the house. A closer look and one will notice the body of the house. Locally, some older houses are of this type of shape while others are not. 2. Some older houses in Singapore has a toilet at the North (true compass direction) , a Ba Gua shaped roof at the South (also true compass direction) of the House. 3. Some houses neither conform to the above. 4. Here, there are as many think…
