Dear Anon, 1. Overall, in Feng Shui, it is best that a mirror not be placed on a wall where this could be inauspicious sector as twice the bad luck would bounce back. 2. However, if you feel that it is OK, then you can try to place it above the fireplace. But the mirrow should not be larger than the diameter of the fireplace. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Yes, in Chinese belief, it is not auspicious to use a black lamp shade. As for a throw pillow, this can be quite subjective. If you have a picture of it, perhaps you can post it here. Overall, having black furniture is not necessarily considered bad. For example, many leather seats for the living room are black in colour. Equally, nowadays, many furniture e.g. TV set stands and TV sets are in black colour. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Freddy, For Nine Star Ki application, you can perhaps purchase books from Nine Star Ki authors. John Sandifier's book is `more technical' and relates to 9 Star Ki (calculation). You can perhaps purchase books by Simon Brown on Nine Star Ki applications. I believe his titles are like Feng Shui for the Home / Feng Shui for the Office. Do search eg. amazon.com for these authors. In general, although you are considered 6 White Metal Element, in my personal opinion, doing or just concentrating only on a specific sector such as the bedroom does not necessarily yield `positive' results. The Key Success Factor in the use of Feng Shui and other disciplines such as Pillars of …

Dear Joy, Method 1 ======== For 1967 (female):- [1.] 67 - 4 = 63 [2.] 63 / 9 = 7 remainder 0 [3.] Gua is the remainder 0 (which is treated as Gua 9) I believe you took the value 7 which is not the gua number. It should be the remainder 0. Since the gua is 0, it should be treated as Gua 9 instead. You can use the method 2 to in the Applied Feng Shui course to verify this. It also gives you 9 instead of 7. Method 2 ======== For 1967 (female): [1.] 6 + 7 = 13 = 1 + 3 = 4 [2.] 4 + 5 = 9 [3.] Gua is 9 You can use the Method 2 which is an easier method. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

If 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 are yang numbers, and 2, 4, 6, 8 are yin numbers, why 6 =is attributed to Qian (which is yang), 7 to Dui (which is yin), 8 to Gen =(which is yang), and 9 to Li (which is yin). It seems that number 5, =which do not belongs to any gua was interfered and disarranged the yin =yang sequence. Is there any explanation for that? Wansui!

Dear Jonathan, 1. There are different levels of `participation' in the use of Feng Shui. 2. Generally, if it is based on intuition, if it is new house, what is you and your family's initial impression of the house. 3. It is always good to make a few copies of your layout plan and discuss with your family members the layout and type of interior decor used. 4. The inclined towards intuitive or by feel. 5. Next, for D.I.Y. plot a template of each family member's Gua number. And you can use the Eight House Theory. 6. If you are familiar with Shapes and Form Feng Shui do apply this to your home. 7. Check for any poison arrows (if any) aimed at the main entrance or any windows.…

Dear Cheui May, In my opinion, as this is not a permanent water feature, this type of house can still be considered in your house hunting. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Joy, In my opinion, `corner' theories or concepts are usually not used in more professional Traditional Feng Shui practises. Paying `homage' to a corner is not an ideal way to apply Feng Shui. Usually, this is too general to be of any use to anyone. I believe the proper way is to increase one's Luck by looking at Feng Shui from a holistic way i.e. priority goes to Shapes and Form and the use of Compass School methods. Look at it this way: How are we to know that the SW is always the `commitment' area of a location or house? Even if it is for some of us, it cannot be the commitment area for ALL of us. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Cheui May, Every period can have a Double e.g. 1s; 2s; 3s; 4s; 5s and the rest of the periods. This depends on one of the compass directions in 15 degree increments. These periods are considered good if they fall under the same period e.g. double 5s are considered good in Period 5. Perhaps, it is because you have not encountered a compass direction that has the right combinations of double 5s. Warmest Regards, Cecil On 11/26/00 11:35:00 PM, Cheui May Heui /wrote:

Dear Anon, 1. Usually, the Gua number refers to the `Eight House' Gua (Kua). 2. You can generate a manual report at : http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm 3. The above links has write-up on how to use the Gua to your home. Such as finding the centrepoint etc... 4. You can also used the Free on-line report i.e. The Eight House Report at http://www.geomancy-online.com to generate this and many other reports. 5. My Applied Feng Shui book has at least two formulas for calculating the Gua number. The methods are equally applicable to greater than Year 2000. 6. Recently, I received a private e-mail from a user using Lillian Too's (one method) where one needs to input the `fou…

Dear Brad, 1. It is good to see if the amount of plants is proportionate to the size of the interior of the home. 2. Currently, there is no fixed ruleset to the amount of plants. 3. As to the placement of the plants, usually they are placed at either corners or close to the edge of walls where they do not `interfere' with pedestrian traffic or create /or likely to cause accidents especially in the dark of the night. 4. It is always good advise to check with family members or hear their comments on the placement (or non-placement) of the plants. Getting family members to `participate' and provide feedback is, in my opinion, a good idea. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Freddy, Please see below:- Yes, this is based on the theory of the Eight Trigram or Eight house theory. However, the element used here is not used as your personal element partially due to the fact that eight house uses only year of birth which thus makes it less accurate to determining the personal element. Well, I believe this is not exactly a theory but rather that it is based on just the year i.e. 1976 is a Fire element. For a simplistic method of determination you can be considered a Fire person (based on the YEAR of birth i.e. due to the fact that you are a born in the year of the Fire. However, again for a year of fire, it does not mean that everyone …

For a strong water person, (other than taking into considering the season of strength) the best colours are: Favourable: Wood i.e. green and brown The reason here is that wood well help a strong water person exhaust the "strong water" i.e. control it. Or the use of " Earth " element to destroy water. Earth colour is yellow or square shaped. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Joanne, In a bedroom, it is quite difficult to change the layout especially the bed. 1. It is most important to make sure that the bed conform to Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui (FIRST). Here:- 1. Where possible the bed should not be on the same wall as the door to the bedroom. 2. It should preferably be on the opposite wall of the entrance door. 3. Where possible it should have a solid backing e.g. a wall instead of placing it against a window. 4. If the side of the bed is near a window, a gap e.g. by placing a side table or leaving some space for someone to walk is good. 5. Where possible it should not be on the same wall as the toilet. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Freddy, 1. Since you are occupying only a room (rental), you can still place decorative objects in your room. 2. I have known many who have done this. 3. One can still use the Eight House to divide the room into eight sectors but since it is usually a relatively small room can be considered not practical to do so. 4. More important consideration is to make sure that (or try) to make the room conform to Shapes and Form FS. 5. If it is difficult to do so, then, at least avoid having the bed on the same wall as the toilet. 6. If there is a window, check to see that there is no poison arrow aimed into your bedroom. 7. If possible, not to have the room become too clutt…

Dear Ryan, 1. Priority should be given to placing the bed in a `good' Shapes and Form position: 1.1. Usually, the bed is against a solid wall 1.2. Preferably it should not be on the same wall as the bedroom entrance door. 1.3. It should not be on the same wall as the toilet. 2. The above are the more important considerations for placing the bed. 3. Only after one has considered the `Shapes and Form' of bed placement, then should one consider, sleeping in a good sector or having the head face a good direction and not the other way around. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kaushal, 1. Some FS practitioners mentioned that to `energise' the centre of the house, some recommend, placing symbolically the 5 elements e.g. at this location. For example, it could be the use of colours e.g. a piece of string say in the 5 colours or use of other materials such as beads. 2. In my opinion, many excellent or good houses have characteristics of `clear space' or walk space at the centre-point of the house. Here, if there is `clear space' it would thus not be possible; for example, for a toilet to be at this location. 3. I believe that the centrepoint should have clear space as again many excellent or good houses or it is where Qi moves from one side o…

Dear Liz, Please email robert-lee@geomancy.net privately for a free paid credit to generate the new report. Based on what you had mentioned, you should generate a new report. The addition/descrition would in my opinion, change the birth chart of your house. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sasha, 1. This would be based on Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui. 2. From my personal experience, it would be better to avoid having the young willow tree at the front of the main entrance as I personally feel that such a tree is (indeed - my belief) to be inauspicious especially that it slices through the front door.) 3. In such a situation, if you still leave the tree, I seldom recommend a Ba Gua mirror but, it should help. Or if there are any religious charms of your religion, it can be placed there as an alternative. Warmest Regards, Cecil
