Dear Catherine, 1. Overall, the concept of condominiums is considered by standards "pretty new". 2. The earliest adoption of pools in estates can be derived more from hotels. And in Singapore, this is only become popular (due to affluence) in the last 20 years. 3. Therefore, there are not much case studies to say for sure whether, the effects of a water position that you mentioned in a high rise may or may not lead to `roving eye'. I.e. frankly, we cannot say for sure if this is going to happen (in majority of the cases). As no one has fully looked at this situation. And as we are all aware, as relationships are private nature, no one would be willing to share their exp…

Dear Hoa Luong, Personal relationships can be strong. And binding element e.g. in the home may not be able to help much. In your boyfriend's case, try to enhance personal self e.g. wear more green or brown colours. And for yourself, you can reduce your water e.g. wearing red. This should help abit. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Yumeko, Assuming that one is weak water and weak earth. You can use the Compatibility report at www.geomancy-online.com to look at the binding element for a weak water and weak earth person. For these two persons - the proposed binding element would be two elements. In locations in the house in particular: your bedroom and living room area; you can enhance the bedroom with the binding elements. For example: since a weak water and weak earth person would need two binding elements then: a combination of enhancement can be:- - paint the walls in one of the binding element colour. And e.g. for the wardrope use the second binding element. Or instead, use the appropriate …

Dear Aggeliki, Currently in the internet, the most language used is English. And majority of Feng Shui resources available (in the internet/web) are in English. As Chinese sites progress or Taiwanese sites progress, usually the main media is in Mandarin. Frankly, it is hard to find resources in your own language. It is good that you continue to `pick-up' on English. As nowadays there are overwhelming information that you can learn under this language. Wishing you all the best in your quest! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Eugene, To clarify, when you mentioned "south of the building" does it mean that the frontage is at the north. And that the huge lake is at the back of the building. If so, what is the distance from the lake. Would you be possible to draw a sketch of your building, in relation to the outline of the lake and high-way (with a top-down prespective) which can relatively indicate the distance and outline e.g. the highway is moving towards your building or parallel or curing inwards etc... Frankly, it is very difficult to comment on the current information. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- There is relatively no harm hanging a small object. Peacock signifies beauty and dignity. Because of the "huge eye" on a peacock feather, some say that it can drive evil spirit away. Sometimes, this can be found in some Chinese temples. In Chinese culture, peacock is used much less than in Indian culture where there are more myth involved in it's use such as the peacock throne. Predominantly, after the Manchus conquered China, manchu officials adorn hats with peacock feather. Frankly, there is no specific location to place it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Yang Ming, So long as there is no direct path of `air' from the main entrance to the back, then this is not an issue. Yes a set of beads can be hung at the kitchen entrance. Usually, it should be full height or at least cover three-quarters of the length of the location it is placed at. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jack, There are two ways to see the use of water in Feng Shui:- 1. On a scientific basis, water positions is looked at in conjuction with Feng Shui theories : Shapes and Forms & Flying Star. In particular, under Flying Star, locations where metal elements have been detected, water can be used to enhance such "metal locations". Thus a combination of water with metal can help here. 2. On a non-scientific basis, one would have to visualise locations one can place a fish tank at. Usually, since it is a tall object, it is placed along a wall. And in most homes in the living room area. 3. Never place a fish tank at the centre location of a home. As this would affect fa…

Dear Malia, 1. There are some examples of bedroom layouts under this url: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-bedroom.htm 2. `Uncurable or fatal situations' are (for example):- 2.1 a bedroom directly below a toilet. 2.2 Bed-heads should preferably rest along a support wall. There should not be a situation where there are windows all round a bedroom. 2.3 it is preferred not to have beams over the bed (can be curable thou). 2.4 Windows above the bed - can still be curable. So far, I can think of some of the above situations may make the bedroom less favorable. 3. Many bedrooms have attached bathrooms. And although this may not be ideal, but it can be `curable'. …

Dear Anon, I not gone thru based on Eight House (good facing direction). However, please see below for my comments:- Based on your second description here, option 1 is preferred. As an overhead cabinet is not favourable for two reasons: 1. It acts more like a supression (beam). 2. If one notice carefully, usually the edge or corner of the overhead cabinet may act as a poison arrow towards the body of a person. Usually, if there are space constraints, option 1 is preferred. It would be a bonus if the direction you face is good or nice to have (under Eight House concept). For personal self, one can see how to incorporate the colours in daily dressing. Objects placed…

Dear Sharon, Please see below:- In my opinion, in a small room although technically speaking one can still divide the room into 8 sectors but from my past experience, the influence of the 8 divisions is very small or minute. As compared with the eight sectors in a larger setting e.g. a full apartment. Already, the Eight House is not a greater `scorer' of marks. And in my opinion, such a sub-division adds to or has minimal effects. It is best to still keep the bed within good Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. Frankly and honestly, under Eight House, there is currently not much one can do to help in such a situation. Warmset Regards, Cecil

Dear Yang Ming, Yes, a Japanese entrance curtain can help to reduce the direct path of `air'. You can consider this as an alternative. But, there will still be a percentage of `air'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Considerations when installing a fountain:- 1. A small fountain, may have to be considered as merely a decorative item. 2. A fountain should where possible, have water that splurt in and not allow water to splurt or flow out. In the earlier situation, water should be able to in. This simple concept can be seen under the following url: http://www.geomancy.net/events/Rotary_Club_FS_Talk/rc_talk_slide_28.htm In the above typical illustration:- 1. One will find that `water flows in' to a wealth or centre. 2. If one looks carefully, at the picture of the world's largest fountain i.e. Suntec City, Singapore:- 2.1 One will notice the huge metal ring which is also sym…

Dear Wasis, If one is purchasing an existing home, it is always good to learn more about the history of the house. For example, if there is only one previous owner, (no tenants) simply, the owners are staying in the apartment, it is best to find out the purpose for their move. If it is a `valid' reason, for example, they are moving because of relocation of work in another county or to upgrade their home. Particularly, if it is for upgrading, this is a good `sign'. If a house was built e.g. in the 1950s or earlier, it is good to check it's history of occupants. For any situations e.g. suicide, murder etc... I hope the above clarifies. If not, feel free to let me know. Warm…

Dear Elena, You may have to do some homework and approach a Feng Shui Master to work out the terms of reference for the study / tutorship and accomodation. This also includes the individual country's visa restrictions on employment if any. In most part of the Far East, one should be expected to have some knowledge in Mandarin. For those who are going to Hong Kong, most likely must know some Cantonese - at least. Today, you may expected to pay quite a tidy sum or even may expect to be rejected outright for a 1:1 type of course. Usually, you would end up taking a course with a group of participants for e.g. a few days only. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Piet, 1. The attached two illustrations included in this forum message shows the preferred positioning of air-conditioners. (Note: Only available for viewing by web-forum users. Not available - to users who `listen' in thru e-mail option). 2. The attached illustrations has more to do with `commonsense approach' to Feng Shui. Where it is preferred that the air-con try to avoid blowing directly to a person's face. Thus it is a better option to place an air-con at the side of the bed. 3. In my opinion, to use or not to use air-con or fan is relatively `peanuts' or minor consideration in Feng Shui. 4. We are on this earth for a relatively short period and if everything…

Dear Momo, You can check out the online report to generate What type of career? report at www.geomancy-online.com and a description within it. Here, there is a claffication of type of job i.e. Job with wealth and Job with power and authority. And generally, jobs that are considered suitable on a hold. Nowadays, there is a high component of multi-skilling in many of our jobs. And, we should be aware that many jobs involve the interaction computers, machines etc... One may have to breakdown the component of some of these jobs further to find out the main discipline. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Hoa Luong, Please see below:- For a Period 7 house, the effect is aggreviated by bad stars for this year. Thus if this year has an extra Year #5, then a better cure is to use a 6 rod metal wind chime. And a 6 piece i-ching coin can also be hang at that particular sector. Usually, this would help to neutralise that sector. As for your mum, it is still OK. However, it is best that the room decor match her Ba Zi. And where possible, water element (blue/black or grey) or green should not be outstanding. Yes, if there is a #5 for this Year, it should help greatly. And after this Horse Year, the wind chime is not necessary. A person should not be counted as par…

Dear Julie, 1. In my opinion, I would classify the case of a bedroom or master bedroom above a garage as " commonsense approach ". 2. Before, we start jumping or worrying too much, the main rationale why some consider this bad is because a vehicle below the bedroom may inadvertenly `catch' fire. But... wait.... how often does a stationery car catch fire? 3. This is similiar to the situation of a bedroom above a kitchen. Although there is a slim chance of a fire in a kitchen. But statistically, it is in my opinion, much less than a vehicle accident. It is similar to air-plane accidents. It has been statistically proven that travelling in aeroplanes are relatively safe. M…

Dear Everyone, Before, I answer the question on mirrors, there is an important concept of mirror: " Mirror, mirror on the wall ". Please see illustration in the attached file. (Only available under web-login to the forum. Attachment not included for those participating or listening in from an e-mail mailing list). History: 1. The Cantonese dialect group is particularly fond of placing mirror(s) in the living room. The idea is that food on the dining table can be multiplied. 2. The above, is particularly favourable to Hong Kong Feng Shui practitioners. Especially since the majority of Hong Kongers are Cantonese themselves! 3. Interior Decoration and Mirrors (C) Cecil Lee U…

Dear Yang Ming, 1. Reference: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-ruler.htm 2. In the above url, one can find a sample Feng Shui ruler. 3. In the above illustration, one can see the top line (just above the inches). This TOP line is meant for Yang Feng Shui. Or Feng Shui for the living. 4. The lower or BOTTOM line (below the inches) relates to Yin Feng Shui measurement or Feng Shui for the dead. 5. Therefore, you could look at the TOP row. 1 Feng Shui foot is equal to an imperial foot of approximately 17 inches. 6. In Hong Kong, one may find 3 or more versions of the Imperial Carpenter's Feng Shui ruler. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear KS, Please see below:- Yes, overall, it is considered not auspicious to have the Master Bedroom door facing another toilet door. Where possible close that toilet door when not in use. It is not ideal to have the bed sharing the same wall as a bathroom - especially if the toilet bowl is directly opposite the bed. Ref: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-under.htm This also applies to apartments. One conclusion here is that it is said that tiny water vapour or molecules emitted, may encourage baterial growth etc... If you have a layout, feel free to sketch (of the room in relation to the toilet / toilet areas / toilet bowl position / shower area -- an…

Dear Lynn, 1. The garage below the bedroom is not a real issue. A similar question has been mentioned in a forum message - a few days earlier. 2. Since there is a restriction in the positioning of the bed, usually:- 2.1 Ideally, if the head-bed has a storage compartment. If so, this would in effect, place the bed-head further away from the wall. 2.2 If there is no storage area, try to see if you can position the bed at least 1 foot away (leaving a gap) from the wall. Warmest Regards, Cecil
