You need to stand in the house and face the door that gives you your door direction. You can balance your whole house by the main door. In addition you can balance each individual room by the direction of each room's door. Then again stand in that room and face the door for its direction.

Dear SL, One of the best illustrative books (with lots of pictures and well written book is by Derek Walters. Although his work is not like those by recent authors, one can flavour lots of `five element concepts' from this book if one reads careful. The ENGLISH book I mentioned is: Title: FENG SHUI Description: Perfect Placing for your happiness and prosperity by Derek Walters. Publisher: ASIAPAC Books ISBN 9971-985-21-7 In this book he has devised an English version of the Luopan where one use it to do FS audit. I highly recommend the other Book " Feng Shui Handbook " which has the essence of Five Elements. Unlike other authores he does not suggest out of the whim sugges…

Dear Sumatra, 1. To side-track, for those who are interested in some pictures or short write ups on `The Sterling' which is a condominium in a triangle plot, feel free search for the above topic under the conference: Photo Tours of Interest with Pictures. Use the " SEARCH " feature under this Forum to search for " Sterling ". This is one exceptional traingle plot that has some units that have excellent Feng Shui. 2. For a triangle plot of land, if it is pointy at the backyard, usually, a lamp is placed at the pointy area to difuse the triangle. 3. Landscaping. For example, semi-circular or landscaped area where one can grow different types of plants within the landscaped …

Dear Jose, In my opinion, some FS practitioners may immediately comment... " nonsense " or " rubbish " on the placment of Ba Gua mirrors. Usually, these are western FS practitioners. In the east, such as Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Far East i.e. Singapore, Malaysia, many FS practitioners do ask their clients to use Ba Gua mirrors. In many of the past messages, the usage is for : 1. To ward off evil. Here, many of the FS practitioners may have a religion e.g. Toaism or Buddhist and these group of FS practitioners are the most likely ones who not only ask their customers to place Ba Gua mirrors but also `charms' with them to ward off evil. In fact, there are many who simply …

Dear Eileen, A warm welcome to the forum! The key issue for a home at the end of a cul de sac is: protect, protect & protect! If you can draw a simple (to scale sketch) of your location plan and surrounding i.e. nearby houses and the back of the home. It would be good as I can have a better picture of your home as it is difficult to give advise based on the description. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Marianne, The fixed Ba Gua template was invented in the mind of one person. Please read the article on him:- http://www.qi-whiz.com/confess.html In traditional Feng Shui, it is advisable not to use fixed templates. There are two Compass School methods: Eight House and Flying Star. An illustration on the use of the Eight House theory is available under: htt://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm Overall, I see that you are trying to apply the `fixed template' which is not practised in the East e.g. China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Far East countries like Malaysia and Singapore. In my opinion, the `method' you had mentioned should not be used. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Zarminae, Under the url below:- http://www.geomancy.net/polls/ You will find an interesting survey: " Are you comfortable sleeping facing a TV set (mirror)? A short simple 3 questions survey. " In the survey, it is interesting to find that many people feel that mirrors facing the bed may not be an issue. The test here is that if you feel comfortable despite the position of the mirror in your bedroom this is acceptable. But if you feel uncomfortable especially after waking up the next morning, then... it is best to re-site the mirror. Therefore, this would have to depend on a case-by-case basis. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Siew Foong, Please see below:- The bed can be in the middle of the room. But usually, it is best to place the `head' of the bed against a wall. For the bed not to be against the wall:- Once I visited a client and he mentioned that Master Yap Cheng Hai, had visited his home and suggested placing the bed in the `middle' of the room. I understand was because it was to orientate away from an inauspicious (Eight House Theory sector). The most important consideration is that it (the bed or study table) should preferably be next to i.e. on the opposite wall especially the toilet bowl. This is still acceptable. This depends on the layout plan. As I do not have t…

Dear Siew Foong, The following need to be considered:- 1. Does the Qi flow from the front e.g. window or main door and exits directly at the back? If so, it would be good to place a partition or screen to manipulate the Qi flow to allow it to meander slowly in the house. The above is one of the considerations for doing `interior' decoration in the home. 2. Under Flying Star Feng Shui The following items are looked at:- 2.1 What type of material is one using for the bar counter? Or materials e.g. glass/wine etc... Here, Flyings Star analysis is usually done to check on any imbalances at a sector. For example, if the sector in question is one where we should avoid adding `w…

Dear Siew Foong, 1. One option is to plant trees within the estate. When the trees mature (and depending) on the type of tree, some trees when they mature; can grow to the height of the 5th storey / floor or higher. 2. Other `artificial' means would be to close the window. These are the two points, I can thing of for now... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Diana, Under the Eight House Theory, it is good to learn that the house is considered suitable for your husband. Especially if he is the breadwinner. One should not be too concerned if the main door is not as auspicious for the rest of the family members. Please note that, under the Eight House Theory, one should try to spend more time at a good sector (in the home). There should not be much concern if one does not spent too much time at a specific sector. Consideration should be given to which rooms each family member stays in. Please see below:- This is OK especially if your husband is the breadwinner. It does not matter even if it is an auspicious sector.…

Dear Wasis, In my opinion, phone numbers are considered secondary and not of primary importance. In addition, there are many definitions of how auspicious or inauspicious a phone number can be. Since more phone numbers have not less than 6 or 7 digits, it would be most likely that there will be many combinations of numbers in our phone number. And some of these numbers may happen to be good or bad. Thus numerology calculations or formulas may defer greatly between many people... For me, I would just brush this aside... and keep my phone number since, many people are already aware of it. Another thing is that if one were to strongly belief on the formula provided; one ma…

Dear Ingrid, In my opinion, it is difficult to apply Feng Shui to small spaces. The rationale is because Feng Shui of the home is also about `earth luck'. And a small room does not constitute a large portion of `earth luck'. The focus in your situation is that so long as you try to keep your room under: 1. Favourable shapes and form Feng Shui e.g. positioning of your bed. 2. Whether your personal space should be more Yin or more Yang or at times more Yin or more Yang. For example, for those who are working and come home to rest, the room should preferably be more yin (state of rest) than yang. While for a student, it should be more yang... to encourage the person to st…

Dear Joanne, For a trailer, the most important area is the siting or site of the trailer. In my opinion, this has the most impact on your Feng Shui. Other than that, since it is considered small space, not much one can change the structure of the trailer. Depending on the nature of use of the trailer, if it is more for rest, after work, then, priority should be given to its location close to work, convenience store and its surroundings. Hopefully, the surroundings is not `dry' or unprotected e.g. barren land and no trees. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Henry, Please see below:- Yes, in my opinion, it is good to lit up the hallway. For the falling water, normally, it is placed either outside the office e.g. the entrance or alternatively; within the reception counter area. From your description, since this is a narrow hallway, it would be difficult to place a waterposition at this area. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Siew Foong, Please see below:- Presently, the information is too general to give you good advise. You may like to look at the placement of the furniture e.g. computer table / work table based on: 1. Good Shapes and Form Feng Shui. 2. Utilise the Eight House Theory to see if the tables can be placed in good sectors for each member. 3. Take a look out of the window of these rooms to see if there are any poison arrows. What one cannot see, it no longer becomes a threat. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Rochelle, 1. For info, it would normally be very inauspicous to see a spiral staircase, especially if one is standing at the main entrance facing inwards of the home. I hope that this is not your case. 2. Usually to `tame' the spiral staircase; two methods are used:- 2.1. Placement of plants around the staircase (ground level) especially the side facing outwards. For example if the spiral staircase is close to a wall, two potted plants can be placed on the `other side' to conceal part of the steps leading out of the staircase. 2.2. The placement of forks. Here, one can use two metal forks (those common fork and spoon) type of fork and aim it towards each side of the …

Dear Kathy, Please see below:- It is usually not advisable to base on just one Feng Shui theory and say for sure that the main front door is inauspicious:- Of-course, under the Eight House Theory, it is best to have a home that has a suitable main entrance door but:- 1. Under Shapes and Form Feng Shui; One should also consider the statement " Protect, protect, protect". If one were to say shift the main door to orientate to a good direction; one should consider if any threats to the main entrance. For example, the new door position could encounter a lone lamp post or a sharp corner of another building. Alternatively, it could now be oriented towards the North-East (…

Dear Angela, Apologies, if I side-track a-bit... Two years back, after buying my new home, I grew a bamboo tree. The rationale for bamboo tree was that I calculated, within two years, it would be useful. The reason was because my new house has a personal enclosed space. Althought the house is perfectly suited to me i.e. most suitable house under the Eight House and it also has a double `7' flying star in the current Period 7. Although it is considered an excellent house; like my previous home, it can have a fair share of `poison arrow(s)' that may need to be corrected. Just nice, when I shifted in end of last year, this bamboo tree was there to `cover' or protect my livi…

Dear Vicki, 1. There are two major theories/concepts to refer to on the placement of water positions. 2. The two major concepts are:- 2.1 Shapes and Form Feng Shui Here, it would depend on the type of water position. If the water position is flat e.g. a ground level pond e.g. for koi fish etc... than this can be represented by `clear space'. But if it is a fish tank, usually the fish tank is tall with leg stand, than it cannot represent `clear space'. `Clear space' is akin to a bird flying freely infront ... unobstructed. Usually water positions that provide clear space are especially good at the frontage of the home. While fish tank should be placed against a wall. Hong…

Dear Rose, Normally, mathematics can be used as an analogy to your question: 1. Feng Shui is about `earth luck'. While Pillars of destiny is about `heaven's luck'. 2. Feng Shui and other Chinese divinity methods are all about trying to increase one's luck. 3. How then do we increase our `earth luck'.? 4. Quantum Leap in Feng Shui For earth luck, the major idea is to either have a quantum leap in Feng Shui luck e.g. a home with good or excellent FS qualities. A home with Quantum Leap in Feng Shui may bring in say e.g. 60 to 90 percent of all the luck there is for the home. 5. Without doing anything, for example, a person staying in such a home will automatically receive …
