(Note: For those who have not seen a `Tiger balm' medicated oil, check out this link: http://www.tigerbalm.com ) According to the description of this external medicine, it is used for the symptomatic relief of muscular aches and pains, sprains, insect bites, itching, headache. It is gently rubbed on affected parts. It contains: mehtnol, campor, mint old, clove oil, cajuput oil and paraffin. No, there is no evidence to suggest that carrying the tiger balm is `detriment' to luck. In addition, most of the time, it is kept in the bag and I do not anyone carrying it out openly in their hands. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, For fishes, more importantly is the number of fishes kept. Here, there are three common methods:- 1. Based on one's Gua number or or 2. The element of the breadwinner. Here each element has a number. or 3. Some prefer 8 or 9 fishes. Another important point is to avoid using pyramid shaped fish tank. Some of the koi species have red and black markings. These are acceptable. Here, one can add a few other species such as `Tancho' e.g. with a circular patch on its forehead... In my opinion, the red and black markings is no issue. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. It would be better if I could see a scanned image. 2. As you have described, it does not look `ideal' especially if there is a tilt. Frankly, I still not sure how much is the tilt or curve etc... Therefore, unable to give you a fuller analysis. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Again, this is a `hard' question as one must be personally at the site to evaluate the "situation." In general, this would depend on many factors some of which includes: 1. Is the house on elevated ground and how is the condition of the soil or foundation solid enough. 2. The impact of the weather i.e. is the location `sheltered' from storms etc... 3. If the sea at the location is calm, it is acceptable. Based on what you have briefly mentioned, the light house should not pose a problem: a. In order for it to be a poison arrow, it must be directly cutting the main entrance door ( or tangent to it). If it is at a distance on one side, this is acceptable. b. On t…

Dear Anon, Although may not need to apply Flying Star Feng Shui to the home, we can apply one of te Flying Star concept of the " water star ". For those who are not familiar with " water star ", if we leave out the word star in this case, you can visualise that whenever there is water, usually the landscape is flat. This is the same concept under the " water star " Theory where the location should be `flat'. Contrast this with the " mountain star ". Where, a mountain is equvalent of a wall. The clue here is not to clutter the living room with tall objects. Objects in the radius of the living room should preferably be flat. For example as a guide it should not be taller t…

Dear Anon, 1. One view point is based on the symbolism of the two symbols: Circle represents the Metal element Triangle represents the Fire element. Under the destructive cycle: Fire destroys Metal. One interpretation of wealth creation is where if Fire is strong, it can destroy Metal to create wealth. 2. However, since the metal is surrounded by Fire, another point of view is that Fire is used to control metal element. Under Para 1, it is `wealth' creation. While under Para 2, it is used as a controlling element. For example, when we use 6 coins to represent Big Metal, it is good to use Red string to control the metal element. (Where Red represents the Fire element). The…

Dear Anon, 1. I would take it as a `belief' or symbolism, then Feng Shui. 2. Often, we hear the term, if you are the `boss' one should behave like one. Thus, if one is the owner of the house, often, it is the belief that the owner (breadwinner) should occupy the master bedroom. 3. In my opinion, your question has few precedence or not common to many households. Thus, your guess is good as mine! 4. Often, under `commonsense approach' it is best to occupy any room (other than the store). This is because, if we do close the door of a room too long, it may have `stale air' or stagnant qi. 5. If the is closed entirely for a week or more, air in the room may progress to `suffo…

Dear David, A person's favourable element is never just one element. A Strong Fire has 3 different favourable elements:- 1. Earth (yellow) 2. Water (blue/black/gray) 3. Metal (white/gold) also known as the wealth element. So in fact you can use any of the above 3 different elements in different parts of your life to enhance your luck. Even for your Five Element, there are different percentage for each element so sometimes certain element that you have too much you do not want to have too much more, instead it is often better to have a balance element. ie. 5 element each broken in percentage whereby all elements should try to achieve 20%. So those, which you have too much …

I have looked over the charts several times and can't figure out where to place anything. We have windows on 2 walls, a door on another and the 4th wall is just not big enough to place our bed. also we have bedroom furniture passed down from my husbands side of the family with huge mirrors that no matter where they are positioned face the bed. I removed the television and book shelf from our room but that was about the only thing that I was able to do.

You wrote:- I was born on June 23, 1966. I found out in your website that I am a weak Water yin Fire Horse, but in other websites they say that my element is Fire and that makes me a Fire Horse only. 1. From your name, I would guess you are a male person. 2. Please see attachment. It is not wrong to say that you are a FIRE-HORSE. As this is the YEAR of your birth. 3. Even the general Chinese Horoscope& Astrology link from my website: lovesigns.net does 100 percent say that you are FIRE-HORSE. Since you are born between 21 Jan 1966 to 8 Feb 1967:- http://www.lovesigns.net/horoscope/ayear/a60-80.htm 4. The buck stops, here for general Chinese horoscope and a…

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 …

Dear Sabina, What I understand is that you have measured your main entrance and it is in the mid-point or compass direction 337.5 degrees i.e. between 0 degrees and 315 degrees If you are using the eight house theory, you need not be too concern with the "type" of house ie. North or NW but rather find out what is the intangible force at the main entrance by checking what intangible force is affecting the North and NW. Best that it is not the death or disaster intangible force at either North or NW. If so, this means that the house is considered the least suitable to the breadwinner. Next, check the intangible force affecting the bedrooms. These are the two key considerat…

Hi Cecil, Recently my neighbour placed a Ba Gua mirror above his door. His room is directly opposite my unit, thus any potential bad spirits or luck he is trying to reflect may end up in my unit. Am I right to think this would be the case? Can you spare me some professional advice on what I should do? Yours, Jin

Dear Jaishree, As you are new to Feng Shui, I quite understand you being anxious to go right down to `make changes'. However, it is good to decide on your approach as to how you can find out about FS: 1. If you are in a real hurry to apply Feng Shui, you should consult a FS consultant to check on your house. 2. In normal situations if you are starting to learn Feng Shui, my advise is to start off with a sound foundation and not approach Feng Shui like visiting a fast food outlet that serves fast food. 3. The easiest for a beginner is to start out with: - Understanding Shapes and Form School. There are quite alot of free resources on this site. Or get yourself a book on it…

Dear Anon, Please see below:- Actually, the best is one with a `metal' roof and with the clinger of an I-ching (circle with square) coin. However, from personal experience and because if it is to be used to neutralise #5 or multiples of it; many of the above mentioned wind chimes are too heavy to make any sound unless it happens to have heavy winds. This is because the copper rods with the coin clinger is too heavy. But, if one is currently using the above wind chime and other than for decoration; then this is fine. Thus, it is my opinion, that (FOR PRACTICAL) reasons i.e. if one wants to neutralise #5 or multiples of it or any other combinations with #3, #4 and even…

In my opinion, NW should be worse-off: as generally it affects the career of the male-head of the home and also no "heaven luck" or poor luck. The saying goes "it is the lesser of the two evils". Kenny L. wrote: Hi Master Cecil, I'm a bit confused. Which is more serious? Kitchen in SW or in NW?

No, the amount of renovation done may not be considered as being flown to Period 8. Katrina L. wrote: Cecil, This year: 1.we changed some part of the roof since the roof is old and we have been experiencing leaks from the rain. 2. changed the kitchen floor tiles and painted a new color on the walls of the kitchen 3. painted new color on the walls of the master's bedroom which we now turned into gym room 4. painted new color on the walls of the living and dining rooms. So, would you consider our house newly renovated and now under period 8? Or is our house still under period 6? Please advice. Thanks!

Hi, Most of the readings taken from the Chinese Astrology uses only the person's Year of birth (element) only. If you have not visited my Chinese Astrology site, feel free to do so at http://www.lovesigns.net In general, one should not display ferocious animals e.g. tigers with hungry mouths open etc... in the house. Even for everyone. Generally, under the Chinese Astrology sign, the Tiger and Horse can be an excellent match. For the Dog and Tiger.. perhaps, drop-in at http://lovesigns.net Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. A more accurate assessment is to use the Pillars of Destiny that analyses: the Year, Month, Day and if available the time of birth. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, To Chinese, the red banner symbolises good luck. Actually, the best "counter" is (for the Chinese) is also hang a similar red banner on your front door. There is no religious implication especially if it is a plain read cloth (no issue with the elaborate tassle). Ideally, both parties hanging it - will equate to "square-one". Under the destructive cycle of the Five elements concept: the most effective element to control fire is water e.g. blue, black or grey. But it would be inauspiciousto haveespecially black coloured e.g. carpet matetc.... But blue carpet can be considered. Under the productive cycle of the Five elements another element that can help dra…
