Dear Sachin, 1. Please do a search for the recent posting on measurements that you had requested. 2. I mentioned that the optimum measurement for desks is exactly mulitiples of 1 Feng Shui sq. feet or an area of 17 sq feet. For example your measurements below should be in muliples of 17. E.g. 17 inches, 34 inches, 51 inches, 68 inches, 85 inches etc.. 3. Currently, the width of 34 x 34 is OK. But for the length, please subsitute it with any of the above multiples. 4. As mentioned above, the OPTIMUM auspicious area of a FEng Shui desk is to have it in multiples of 17 inches / sq Feng Shui foot. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Josephine, 1. I am afraid, this type of question is not appropriate for this forum. 2. There is nothing which can be commented that does not dwell into `hearsay' information with no proper basis in Traditional Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Angelia, 1. Thank you for your feedback. I am very glad that you have enjoyed this site:) 3. Yes, there is really no harm in doing so. However, as you had politely mentioned that hopefully neighbours do not complaint or worse still, report it to the police. 4. It would be more unlucky if we are met by a police patrol man knocking at our door at such an auspicious hour. 5. To be more practical, it should not be done during this time for the following reasons:- 5.1 For the sake of babies, we must be considerate to our neighbours. 5.2 If one stays in a landed property, one can see many neighbours turning on all their garden lights and interior lightings of the house. …

Dear Janna, This is the basic story about the Magic 9 grid that you had mentioned:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-tortise.htm Our applied Feng Shui course has some information of it's origins. More importantly, these two maps especially, the Lo Shu diagram is used extensively under:- 1. Flying Star Feng Shui or Xuan Kong Feng Shui. We have a course on this. 2. 9-Star Ki This is one and the same school as Flying Star. But is a variant originating from Japan. It uses the Lo Shu diagram extensively and also the Five elements concept. The second most popular practise of 9-Star Ki is in the UK. Free free to do a SEARCH in this forum for specific terms like " F…

Dear Anon, 1. It is always good to ask the following questions:- 1.1. What is the purpose of Feng Shui? 1.2. What are it's strengths? 1.3. What are it's weakness? 2. Please note that Feng Shui is only about the influence of Earth on our Luck (Earth Luck). 3. It is not a cure all for everything. 4. Heaven Luck 5. Perhaps, you can partially use Ba Zi (Pillars of Destiny or popularly known as Eight Characters) to look at our Heaven's map. And from learning it, help us look at our given luck situation. For example, look at the Luck Pillars (this comes under 10 years, 5 years and yearly and also monthly or daily.) 6. But monthly and daily is in my opinion too much a hassle. …

Dear Marjorie, 1. For those who are family with fixed template models with characteristis such as Fame / Travel etc... 2. Authentic Traditional Feng Shui sites like this does not use such `Ba gua models'. 3. For those who are new, can check out some of the older links:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm 4. This link helps you when you are using an ordinary compass:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-cecilcompass.htm 5. Overall, it is very difficult to comment on just a few general sentences. But, in general, a water position directly behind the house usually services as a `handicap' or a single leak. 6. If there are more `leaks' in the home, then, it usually p…

Dear Anon, 1. I would like to help but, such questions are too general. 2. It is preferred that such questions come with at least a reasonable sketch of the surrounding or set of pictures. 3. Since, nowadays, many users have digital cameras. Please try to resize it smaller. 4. Otherwise, I hope u can understand that it is very diffcult to give concrete replies. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Dagne, 1. I believe you are referring to the Luck Periods under your personal Ba Zi. 2. For professional Feng Shui assessment, such luck period are looked at together with your birth element and strength. 3. The factors under 2, are taken when the house Feng Shui, exterior and interior are assessed. 4. Under Para 2 above, if your Ba Zi luck periods are no good, and especially if your house Feng Shui is not good either; this is like a vicious cycle of problems. 5. And I personally believe, your present home has at least 2 major leaks. The most common are:- 5.1 Toilets at wrong locations 5.2 Odd shaped / house with missing corners 5.3 House does not match the ba zi of…

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, lighting and also music (from Hi Fi or from TV/cable set can help increase the yang energy. (This is not meant at you but it is interesting to note " Music soothe the savage soul ". Classics like Vivaldi 4 seasons etc.. " can have a calming efect.) And in the day, if you do not mind pop or just simply listen to the radio all day can help the mind at ease. Tune in stations where the presenter or a pair of presenters chalk up interesting converstations. 2. Frankly, it is good for you if you have mobility to move around outside of the house e.g. window shoping or just spent time outside or some heathly gardening. 3. However, if one is in-mobibl…

Dear Anon, 1. Usually, one `leak' is not as serious. But, if there are multiple leaks, than there is cause for concern. 2. Given your general statement, it is difficult to give you a `return' reply. As each situation is different. 3. Some of the questions you can ask yourself (if they are confidential to you):- 3.1 How many years have I stayed here? Or I have recently moved-in? If one has stayed for many years in the house, then, one can fall back to our personal experience. 3.2 How is my finance? If both para 3.1 and 3.2 are OK, then there should not be a need to worry about the slope. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kwan, 1. I always recommend that one should find out more about each concept using a simple 3 step approach:- Step 1: What is the purpose of each concept? Step 2: What are it's strengths? Step 3: What are it's weakness? 2. For a start, it is always prudent to do some research into the topics: Eight House Flying Star 3. In my opinion, there are already lots of responses to the same question that you had posted. And the many of the past responses deal with such questions. 4. There is no floor plan attached. But appreciate if you can understand that the main aim of this forum is to act as a catalyst and not for everyone to simply post their date of birth. 5. I hope tha…

Dear Anon, In Geomancy.net, there are free tools on Flying Star Feng Shui. Flying Star comes in two dimensions: A. Horizontal Flying Star or Xuan Kong Feng Shui. At http://www.geomancy.net main page, you can use the SEARCH feature and you can find many resources on it. B. Vertical Flying Star House Number for Apartments This free analysis can be found under http://www.geomancy-online.com I sincerely hope all users in this forum be more `pro-active' in their quest for knowledge. I personally feel knowledge is not gained merely by `spoon feeding' but rather, simple tools like SEARCH or even SEARCH using search engines such as yahoo.com or google.com will usually yield resu…

Dear Pat, 1. First, try to determine what are you trying to access? 2. Is it the interior of the home or simply the land? 3. To do either one, please check out this link, first:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-cecilcompass.htm 4. Based on your feedback, a major renovation has been done somewhere around 1980's. Since you have the loan documents, try to determine exactly the date. If the renovations was completed prior to 1984 (lunar calendar) than you should use Period 6 to assess the interior of your home i.e. checking out the Flying Star numbers in each sector.

Dear Anon, Please see below:- This Lunar Year until last day of January 2003; the Grand Duke of Jupiter is located at 180 degrees South. Next year he is located at 220 degrees South. During this period, a sector known as the Three Killings is opposite the Grand Duke. For example, if South is Fire Horse, than North is the Water Rat. During this period it is advisable not to disturb North since this is the three killings location as one may have bad luck for several years. There can be two issues:- 1. Make sure that if you are distrubing earth, avoid doing it especially at South sector of the house. As this is akin of disturbing the Grand Duke. 2. For a period 7 h…

Dear Anon, 1. Under the Five Elements concept, crystals are usually considered as belonging to the earth element. The basis for this rationale is because, crystals come from the earth. 2. It would not be prudent to hang too many crystals in the house. The `natural' way is the use of chanderliers with glass crystals. This would be the best method without drawing too much `unsightly' attention. 3. Placing crystals at East and South can be a double edged sword as they are made of earth. 4. We should not be placing or hanging crystals all over the place especially if that location has no lighting. Without light to pass thru the crystal, it has no use at all. 5. Furthermore, h…

Dear Jen, 1. I can quite imagine that your front door and frame is indeed contrasting. 2. From a cultural point of view, Chinese do not like contrasting colours. Especially if the contrasting colour takes on to them an inauspicious `statement': 2.1 In the west white is associated purity e.g. a white wedding grown. 2.2 Under the Five Elements, Metal (white) is also associated with purity. And if we look at a Chinese Luopan closely, it looks similar to your main door but in reverse: The outer square of the Chinese Luo pan is painted red. This outer square represents the earth. If we look carefully at the inner circle plate: (circle represents metal) And this plate is rep…

Dear Hoa Luong, 1. In your situation, you should use Period 7 instead of Period 6. 2. The rationale is because; the convenience store is considered as the `heart' of the gas station. As it commands central focus and where human activity centres e.g. billing office, cashiers' counter and some customers walk up to this place. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- Yes, this is a contributing factor. You are correctly. Most likely you have at least two or more major leaks especially leaks involving Shapes and Forms in your present home. If you can scan or draw a sketch of your layout plan with furniture, feel free to post it to this forum to me to make comments to throw light to your present situation. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Joan, Please see below:- Since there is a `demand' for fortune of the 12 animal signs here goes:- http://sg.geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/fortunes-2003.htm A more accurate forecast is based on the following link:- http://sg.geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/forecast-2003.htm Please refer to the attached caricature on why I personally find the forcast for 12 animal signs need to be looked at from a `different perspective'.

Dear Leanora, I belive you are only doing a FS audit of your apartment. From my past experience, if you are just looking at your individual unit, it is best to take the reading to the main entrance door of your apartment. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Edna, 1. Feel free to use the manual method of determining your Gua (kua) number at:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm or 2. Use all the various Free Eight House (East/West Group) of person's reports at the following website:- http://www.geomancy-online.com In the above link, you can generate almost any type of Gua (Kua) related Free reports e.g. Eight House Report Sleeping Positions Office seating positions Gua Number etc... Actually, you should learn more about Ba Zi or Pillars of Destiny (Ba Zi). The rationale because, East / West group of persons is only based on just the year of birth. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear C VU, 1. Yes, in terms of enhancements, we often look at e.g. #mountain and #water stars 2. For example if the frontage or facing position has #7 mountain with #7 water; then since there are metal elements, "water" can be added. 3. But it is equally wrong if we ignore the base #. In addition, we also need to look at the 81 combinations of #mountain and #water stars. 4. As a recap:- 4.1 look at #mountain and #water in relation to the specific location. For example, if the back of the house or mountain side has #7 with #7, then, we must study closely whether we can activate it properly (or not). 4.2 We also need to look at #mountain vs #water vs #base number or the pal…

Dear Anon, Please see below:- It would be ideal if bougainvillaes are not planted especially if it has lots of thorns sticking out. For me, I do have a pot of bougainvilla but, I specially chosen one with genetically smaller thorns. So far, there is no, concrete evidence to say whether plants with thorns are bad. All we ever hear is that this are bad. But, as I had mentioned, there is no concrete evidence to say for sure whether it is auspicious or inauspicious. But from my opinion, for bougainvilla plants, there should not be a major issue since: 1. it is even worse if this plant or tree has a solid trunk (that slices into the window area or planter box). 2. Bougainv…
