Dear Anon, 1. The ideal method to find the compass direction of the main door is to stand at the centrepoint of the house and measure the compass direction of the main entrance door. This URL has an example of how compass readings can be done using an ordinary compass: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/cecilcompass.htm Do take note that whichever method you follow both here or elsewhere, do try to follow the `instructions' closely and in total. This is because, if one actually buys a Luo Pan or Chinese compass, the readings are taken facing the main door from outside of the house and readings is done of the `sitting' and `facing' directions. Therefore, do not read `Step 1' of th…

Dear Chee Siong, 1. Yes, this is a recent and very common sight in HDB (Housing and Development Board's) design of not just your apartment but of many apartments. 2. Usually, the driveway or drop-off point is a single lane road. In my opinion, there is not much issue or worry with it. Even though one may worry that it looks like a partial `sickle' e.g. as found under the previous Russian communist flag. Where the sickle is like a Sha Qi or poison arrow. The rationle for not worrying is that it is not elevated and it does not pose a problem. Contrast this with e.g. a railway or mass rapid transit rail tracks. If one stays at e.g. storey or floor/unit 3, and if so happens …

I am currently facing this problem regarding Auspicious Wedding Dates. I went to a FS master to choose date for my wedding in 2007 during late last year when the Tong Shu is not out yet. He gave a booklet of computerised Auspicious Wedding Dates till 2008 for me to choose. He said the date is match according to me n my hubby BaZhi. And ask me not to refer to calender. Recently my mum found out that the date we choosen 20 Oct 2007 is good date but NOT A GOOD date for Wedding (JI Hoon Jia or avoid wedding) from the tong shu. Now we are stuck. We have ask the FS master whether is that day good or not he say is good. And i ask him whether it is better to get marriend on a day…

Dear Keith, 1. It is good that you do a SEARCH under this forum to find your subject matter. For example, use the SEARCH feature for #5 or Five yellow. 2. There are various combination of star numbers with or without #5. Thus #5 can be combined with either one or both or all of #2, #3, #7 and another #5. Each of these have somewhat slightly different significance. 3. About commercial products: In my opinion, many products that one has purchased usually lines the pocket of the seller. In ancient times, there are no such products. Thus many use "in the name of Feng Shui" to sell this and that product. In my opinion, products are modern invention, mostly toentice us to…

My bedroom is always on my mind and the position of the bed is very bothersome to me. My husband is the breadwinner of the family; if we position the bed according to A, his direction is 'personal development' and mine 'success'.. BUT, the entrance into the room is between 2 closets and is kind of 'behind us' - which is my understanding is very bad... However, if we position the bed according to B, that sleeping direction is '5 ghosts' for my husband and 'total loss' for me. So... My dilemma is evident. Which is better and which should be avoided? The size of the room really only allows for these two positions? husbands kua is 2 (monkey), my kua is 8 (rat). I am attachin…

Dear Lingling, Please see below:- There is not much you can do to avoid a sharp corner. It is best if one avoids having a sharp corner in the first place (if one can). If it is a wooden beam, one can use 6 metal coins tied with red string and place it above the beam. Here, 6 coins representing big metal can be used to destroy wood. If it is a concrete beam, hang two bamboo flutes as follows:- ------ / \ / \ There is also another Find out what is the intangible influence for each person. If the intangible influence is inauspcious for a person, let the person sleep further away from the intangible influence. For example, if the father has the Prosperity…

1. Frankly, on the surface, one should not really resort to moving home unless, both the shapes and forms of the home is "terrible" and the Flying star qi does not help at all. 2. Most of the time, even if a home is unsuitable for family members, most of the time, "health" if analysed and disarmed properly can be negated. 3. Thus often it is not as serious unless there are more to it. 4. For example, if the house isa one level house, avoid sewerage pipe(s) running below a bed or living room sofa (etc..). 5. I am confident (in general) proper application of the correct Feng Shui can help your situation.

Dear Jane, Unfortunately, this is not directly related to Feng Shui although theories such as Flying Star can help to pinpoint the location related to such influences. It is best that you try to explain to your daughter and not to say too much to the neighbour. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear t p, t p wrote: i picked up an item at an antique shop. the item had a label reading "feng shui compass", but the item contains nothing that resembles [to me] a feng shui compass. the item has a compartment that opens to where something may be placed, which leads me to believe it just may be just a simple incense burner, but i'm totally confused about characters carved on the top and sides of the item. If it is a compass, it will at least have a compass in the center. As you mentioned it opens up to be empty. Thus, no likely. The incense you mentioned could be a possiblity or simply a storage ornament. As for the words. It is not clearly written. But it is actuall…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Master Lee, how do I determine the west direction in my bedroom? If you want to determine if the bedroom falls in the west:- 1. Get your layout, and determine the center point of the home. Or stand at the center point of your home. 2. Determine the North 0 degree from a compass. Then divide the house to the North / South / East / West. 3. If the room falls in the West, then it is a west sector of the house. If you want to determine the west direction in your room.

1. The best approach is to apply Shapes and Forms and Compass School Feng Shui (Flying Star). 2. Thus, if the person who has told you that your swimming pool is located in an inauspicious location and due to their review as mentioned under Para 1, then, the best way is to draw up a Flying Star chart to analyse the sector's Flying Star numbers atthe swimming pool. Here, you may derive the cure after the assement is done.

Dear Emma, 1. An alternative to using a screen in the room between the bed and the bathroom door is to place a side table. On the side table, place a side table lamp. Those with one bulb and with a lamp shade. This is symbolic of having a screen between the bed and the bathroom door. 2. It is also good to do an Eight House Chart to see what intangible force is at the bedroom sector. 3. From day 1 of this site and forum, we do not believe in using the `fixed template' format i.e. relationship corner at the SW sector. This includes Black Hat Sect *BTB* or the Eight Aspirations/Associations concept. I personally view the Eight Aspirations/Associations concept, "kindergarten…

Dear Anon, 1. Essentially, Qi force cannot be examined with the naked eye. So far, no one could really map out or see the flow of `Sha' Qi from a slopping ceiling. It is not like a wind tunnel experiment etc... 2. I have ever come across, some innovative people in Hong Kong, who had created a Qi `detector '. Frankly, I have never tried it so cannot comment further. If anyone has come across it and tried it, do let us know. 3. One logic of having a screen or false ceiling is that it essentially distributes the `weight' or `force' (if I can call Sha Qi as a `force'). Similarly, perhaps it could work with water as in a fish tank because water is level and essentially, Qi may…

Dear Carina, 1. There are various interpretation of `wealth corner'. 2. If one properly `practices' or if one is fortunate enough, with or without Feng Shui e.g. a good home with shapes and form and the house happens to suit the person, this far outweighs `soley' concentrating on just one corner. 3. Sometimes, doing so may do more `harm' than good. For example, if the corner is (suppose to be left alone), and if one places a plant that this sector where, there is an imbalance of a particular element. The plant may `unwittingly' be the productive help for the `rogue element' and further increase it's strength. There is indeed a possibilty here because we are talking abou…

Dear Soli, Often, we can look at it from three perspectives: 1. Yin and Yang concept 2. How thick skin are you? 3. Human or Man Luck 1. Yin and Yang concept Often, because a plant is growing, it is considered as `more yang' than yin. And since, a bedroom is meant more for sleep (yin or rest); then, it is preferred not to have a live plant in the bedroom. 2. How thick skin are you? Looking at the above: i.e. placing a plant in the bedroom; some of us have no issue living in a `jungle' with lots of plants or trees. While others are very sensitive. Therefore, it does not automatically mean that we must never have plants in the bedroom. It depends: On how sensitive one is or …

Dear Christina, Christina Krishnan wrote: Hi, I am pretty new to fengshui. I used the free report to check on my 4 good and bad sectors. I would like to find out if one needs to put something auspicious in the bad direction to avoid problems or do we put them in the good direction?

Basically, the 4 good and 4 bad sectors which is the Eight House concept is only used for checking on suitability of a house and the best directions for sleeping/working/study position.

Dear Anon, Usually, a single gift will not impact on a person. But rather, it is the the symbolic gesture of giving a gift is more important. It can be any gift. For a crystal, it is suppose to give beneficial Qi because of the way it plays with light. Some Feng Shui practitioners advise the use of other subsitutes e.g. a mirror, such as at the staircase landing to deflect Qi upwards. Some Feng Shui practitioners also advise one to place a mirror on the wall at an auspicious sector e.g. after using the Flying Star, there is a very auspicious sector along a wall, here, a mirror or even placement of a mirror to bounce back the good luck. Here, some FS practitioners may advi…

Dear Judy, Many of the photos of auspicious symbols provided under " MyPictures " http://my.geomancy.net/mypictures/cgi-bin/imagefolio.cgi are standard Chinese symbols that are used widely in Chinese art. For example, many of the motifs are painted on porcelain figurines, plates and other cutlery. While other designs are found on `antique' rosewood furniture, or carved onto wooden panelling, window `grille designs', external wall facade decors, decorative panels in temples etc... Many of the motifs therefore can be found in Chinese `art' items including clothing, embrodiery, carpets etc... Thus, in my opinion, I would not exactly say that all designs will bring about `aus…

Dear Fraser, 1. Thanks for your acute observations:) 2. Usually, the Grand Duke is used in a "wider area" e.g. in terms of a country or a county or state. Under this situation, one can realise that every degree makes a difference. For example one county can differ from another by just a few degrees. With this understanding, one can understand why we talk about lesser North East, lesser North West etc... 3. You correctly pointed out that in a home, it is hard to `imagine' that the grand duke is confined to only 67.5 degrees as an example and why not 70 degrees. 4. A good way to understand this is to imagine that closer the centrepoint, the compass directions gets closer to…

Dear Anon, Please read below:- The problem with Grand Duke and 3 kilings is that, although it has been mentioned and practice by traditional feng shui masters. Their advise has always been not to disturb them. But often there is no "solution" suggested by them. It is just like in our chinese culture, when we say that one offends the "god" there is no way of actually pleasing them. Usually, all that was done was to offer incense to these sectors in hope as an apology. Similarly, many times such theories has been talked about but there has been no effective one solution cure. Thus it is very hard to say if putting a element will work or not as there has been no tradi…

Dear Sunny, I have covered the `topic' plants in an earlier message. The main consideration is if one is really a plant lover, why not have plants in the house and even outside the bathroom. Bear in mind that one should not trip over it in darkness. And if one's house is large. Plants need care e.g. water and occassional sunlight. One must be prepared to bring them out for sunlight once a while (if they need sunlight). Is just like keeping a pet. If one is a pet lover, would take great pains to look after it (with or without monetary rewards consideration). But if one places a plant in the hope that wealth is accumulated. Or neglect the plants. Is this logical? Whatever w…
