Dear Anon, 1. It is my advise that if your family face so much problems and if they are not staying together but separate: 2. It is acceptable to exhume the grave but: 2.1 This has to be done by experienced grave diggers. I have a very short writeup at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/exhume.htm 2.2. Usually, once exhumed, it is best to cremate the bones. 2.3. Cremation is considered neutral and will accordingly, will not affect the `decendants'. A place can be found at a crematorium to house the ashes of the dead. Alternatively, the ashes can be dispersed into the sea. This is done by many cultures and symbollically, your grandmother can be close to your grandfather as the sea…

Dear Anon, Closing the lid of the toilet sit is secondary to Feng Shui. Here, the chief consideration is to try to locate imbalances e.g. using the Flying Star analysis for the house. If there is an imbalance, we need to `fix' it. As for closing the lid of the toilet, in my opinion, it is better to simply close the toilet door. If so, one do not need to close the lid of the toilet sit/bowl. You have brought up an interesting perspective thou:) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear all, 1. Further to what I had mentioned, often, I mentioned that it is `inauspicious' to have a toilet at the centrepoint. 2. Much of Feng Shui is about `commonsense'. 3. If we closely examine one of the rationale for not having a toilet at the centrepoint is because of `water' in the toilet / bathroom. 4. If we can keep this toilet, clean and dry is ok. But what happens if we often bathe in this toilet and after bathing, there is always a wet floor or wet walls or water in this toilet. 5. Somehow, such `water' has to evaporate. And it would be `nice' to have a toilet sharing an external wall; because, some of the moisture, can be `distributed' out of the windows or …

Dear Julie, Frankly, there are two considerations here:- 1. Mirrors at staircase landings need not necessarily be bad. One school of thought here is that a mirror at this location can help to `move' Qi up or down the stairs. 2. Another consideration is that a mirror at the wrong wall or sector can bounce back twice the bad luck. Undera Para 2, if one is not sure, one should not place a mirror on the stair-case landing. 3. In your question, you mentioned that a mirror is facing the stairs, frankly, this is more of a "commonsense approach". Or we can say that this is more of a commonsense type of `Feng Shui'. 3.1 Here, it may become inauspicious because, sometimes we do get…

Dear Hoa Luong, Please see below:- Check to see if water colours (blue, black or grey) is present in your brother's room. In addition, are there already lots of wood in the room? e.g. furniture in wood or laminated wood? If so, then, it is best to try and avoid especially the water elements (colours) in his room. Since, guys usually have a preference of blue. In addition, it is good to place a 6 coins in his room. This is to help him in his work area. For the kitchen, other than the real water positions e.g. wash basins, is the kitchen cabinets/walls in blue, black or grey (other than the flooring. If your mum cooks often, it is acceptable. Since `fire' (in cooking) …

Dear Benjamin, Please refer to the attached sample report. Sample Gender: Male Conversion of Date of Birth: Solar Calendar: 17 Oct 1980 between 1.00 p.m. to 2.59 p.m. Lunar Calendar: 1980, 9th month, 9 day, between 1.00 p.m. to 2.59 p.m. In this example, the arrow shows the direction, he should be facing. Thus his best work directions are: Sitting facing Direction: North-East Exact Degree: 22.5 to 67.4 Description: This is your Prosperity direction or Sitting facing Direction: South-West Exact Degree: 202.5 to 247.4 Description: This is your Excellent direction. Yes, the arrow shows the direction, one should face, when sitting down to work or stu…

These are some considerations: 1. House number interpretation is altogether a different thing. Here, often: one man's meat is another man's poison. 1.1 Many Chinese are influenced e.g. by the Cantonese dialect group who distinctively hate " 4 " (die) and even 14 = sure to die 2. However, it has no relation to Feng Shui. But more towards personal feel good or bad factor and subsequently may affect resale value; should one put the home in the market. 3. Frankly, if one knows Shapes and Forms and Compass School Feng Shui; these two major schools can be used to analyse sucha foreclosed home and check whether there are any major fatal errors (if any). 4. At best, the common se…

Dear Anon, In my opinion, such products has more to do with "Human factors", than Earth Luck. Many of the products sold on the market are too commercialised to be of any use. It has all to do with the `mind'. Often, many people would buy such products, place it for a while (see that it does not work), chuck them aside. Before all these takes place, it seems to collect dust (first). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi would like your comments on which Aparment block has a better position? Block A , B or C? If D is a playground, can it be considered as a Ming Tang between the 2 converging rivers? [IMG]http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s264/philture/Mapfrfengshuionrivervista.jpg[/IMG]

Dear Tiffani, Thank you for the sketch. 1. I have sketched the compass direction of your home in the attachment, below. I believe, based on the layout plan, the bathroom should be directly above the kitchen. This is not too bad, so long as the stove does not sit directly under the toilet bowl or toilet sewerage pipes. And try not to have a coffee table in the kitchen directly below it. 3. Check for any wealth leak from marking C to D as shown in the attachment. Warmest Regards, Cecil Thanks Tiffani On

In reference to my previous comments, I would like to pose an intriguing question regarding the concepts of fame and recognition. What implications arise for individuals who do not own a home? One might argue that residing in a small room could still allow for the enhancement of these factors. However, what if someone lacks a home entirely? Does this mean they are destined to miss out on fame, travel, and other opportunities? Traditional Feng Shui, in its original context, examines broader landscapes, such as major cities like Canton or even entire regions like Singapore, before narrowing its focus to specific sites and buildings. Unfortunately, many F…

Dear Liz, Thanks very much for sharing with us your advise:) Yes, ideally, (if possible), it will help. I remembered also in a recent Feng Shui audit of a house, the toilet bowl (Yes, the toilet bowl) is directly above the main entrance door. The owner also encountered `financial' problems. Fortunately, the house has several toilets and after the toilet bowl was removed and covered up, things did turn up well for the owner. Simple things like this may look trival but important. The lesson here is thus to `plug' the weakness of a home. Or I mentioned that if there is a leak, please plug it first. Many people, have the wrong notion and instead of first curing the `disease',…

Dear Susan, It is quite common for the husband and wife to have "opposite" houses or kua under the Eight House Theory. Under the Eight House Theory, do look out for:- 1. How suitable the house is to the breadwinner i.e. one's kua or intangible force at the main entrance. 2. The Eight House relates to how much time we spent at a sector of the house. Thus it would be useful to know what is the intangible force for the spouse and husband in the bedroom. Where possible, let the person who beneifits most sleep closer to the intangible force. While the person who does not have a good influence sleep further away from that sector. (A good bonus is if one sleeps e.g. with the hea…

Dear Ann, There are two methods of determining the placement of mirrors: 1. The most accurate is based on Flying Star Theory. Here, the house is analysed and the sector where the room (wall) is should not have inauspicious stars. For example if the sector of the room has a #2 Sickness or #5 Misfortune Star, placing a mirror at the location (wall) will double the effect. 2. If one do not want to go further than using such tools, would have to depend on one's personal feelings. If one feels comfortable, then place the mirror. As this is `trial and error' Feng Shui, when one place the mirrors avoid doing other `enhancements'. If it is placed correctly, there is no effect on …

Dear CM, For a home, you should be looking at the micro-level e.g. your actual condo or office unit's main door to check on suitability. Sometimes, when the building main entrance is looked at, it is often to apply Flying Star Feng Shui to look or study the qi of the building e.g. where to place a suitable water feature outside of the building and/or to build landscaping to suit the flying stars. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: Eg. I am an East-group person, is it ok to choose a home/office where: - the building's main entrance is facing NE, SW, W, NW, - but the actual condo/office unit's main door is facing N, E, S, SE?

Dear Janna, 1. I understand that you are from Moscow, Russia. 2. If one notice carefully, each country has it's distintive cluster of developments. 3. For example, in Singapore and Hong Kong, many Feng Shui practitioners specialise in high rise buildings: commercial, industrial and apartments. 4. For example, in Singapore, approximately 85 percent of the entire population of 4 million people in Singapore live in government subsidised housing. This statutory board is called Housing and Development Board or HDB for short. 5. Therefore, many local practitioners see more (assessment of high rise buildings than say landed property). 6. Similarly, in Taiwan and even in Malaysi…

Dear Anon, Frankly, in my opinion, this has more to do with `safety' than Feng Shui. Usually, one would not expect a broad staircase unless it is a building or a large house where three persons or more can walk side-by-side going up or down the stairs. Imagine if the staircase is sufficient for one or one and a-half person's body width to walk thru. If the plant has extended leaves, I really cannot imagine that one will not brush against the leaves. Looking at it from a light hearted moment, imagine placing catus plants and having a pet e.g. dog or cat or the wind blowing and toppling the catus plant. What happens if a loved one accidently steps on the catcus? And get h…

These are some of the considerations:- 1. "It depends!" 2. There is the 20 Year Flying Star Feng Shui. Flying Star is about determining where is the facing and sitting directions. Thus, one should get this right, first. 3. In a 20 Year Flying Star Feng Shui; for example from now to 2023; the reigning star is #8. Thus, under the 20 Year Flying Star, in particular; if the water wealth (Water star #8) is located at the balcony (balcony is at the SW); One should not shut off the water supply or relocate this water feature, just because say the year water star is somewhere else. 4. Under the Five Elements concept: a good water feature has all the five elements: http://fountain…

Dear Anon, 1. For the Eight House Template, consider these three main uses: 1.1 To find out if a house is suitable for you. If the “death” or “disaster” line passes through the main door, then according to Eight House Theory, the house is not suitable for you. 1.2 To check which unseen force is affecting your bedroom. 1.3 At work, this theory helps guide you to the best direction to face. These are the main uses of Eight House Theory. Besides these, it has some serious limits. It cannot be used as a cure because it does not use the Five Elements concept. Unlike the Flying Star method, which can find imbalances using the Five Elements and help fix th…

Dear Anon, I believe your statement is true. I have not fully researched into this aspect but I have do remember coming across a variety of dragons. Cannot really remember off-hand if there are at least 13 but this figure sounds reasonable enough. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Dave, Thanks for sharing with us your information. In your situation, you can consider NE as the frontage of the house although there is no `front' door. You are not alone in this situation. In my country, many Housing Development Flats (developed by the government) for more than 90 percent of the population has this `bright hall' effect (although they have a front door.) Many a times I find the front door to be `darker' similiar to the `back' door of yours. I have given quite alot of examples on why this `fixed' template format is not a reliable FS method. Overall, if Feng Shui is so easy, and if everyone do the same, imagine an entire population following …

Dear SY, Thank you for your layout plan. Yes, the layout is pretty `unique' and sometimes it may not be feasible to simply divide it into shapes such as eg. Two `L' shapes as they may not be such. In your case, the preferred option is to make a photocopy of the layout plan or print it. Paste/glue the photocopy on a cardboard. Next `cut-out' the outline of the layout plan. You use a nail to balance the layout. When you are able to balance the entire `cut-out' layout, i.e. centre of gravity then use this point as the centre-point of the home. You can then from here determine the direction to the main entrance. Warmest Regards, Cecil
