Dear Darlene, 1. For the Chinese, there is what is known as ancestor worship. Here, a portrait of a loved one or a tablet (representing the loved one) and a incense or joss stick holder is placed on an altar. Usually, many of the houses have space constraints and the altar (ancestor worship) is placed in the living room or dinning room. 2. I believe, your situation is not the same as the above. But rather to keep the portraits. In your case, it is best to keep the portraits on a wall, in a `quiet room' such as the study room. Perhaps, you can also share with us have large are the portraits and if you have any other rooms that you have thought off. Alternatively, in the w…

Dear Anon, 1. For wooden floors, it is not so much of what is considered `best' in Feng Shui but more of "commonsense" or rather experience of using wooden floors. 2. For example, it is felt that it would be better for wooden or parquet floor tiles be used in a bedroom. This is because of the belief that: 2.1 when one wakes up, and gets out of the bed, it would be better to step on wooden floors. This is because wooden floors have less conductivity i.e. one do not feel cold or suddenly feel cold as the feet touches the floor. 2.2 Many people, work in their bedrooms i.e. study table. Therefore, it would be better for their feet to be in contact with a neutral floor i.e. wo…

Dear Anon, One way of looking at landed property is to find the frontage of the house. (Or the location with most light coming in) Since this is the frontage or the `entrance' area in such a situation, a grid, with say the main door drawn at the middle can be superimposed on this layout plan. Do note that, an ordinary compass is still required to find the North/South direction so that an appropriate template can be laid on it. In Flying Star Feng Shui, if one notice it carefully, majority of the 24 directional charts or 24 mountains (directions) are almost similar for each period. Thus, IN GENERAL not a major issue whether to take the compass reading from e.g. centrepoin…

Dear Su Fun, Please see below: Since you are a SW house person, NW is your Longevity sector. Overall, the Eight House Theory is more to look at how suitable e.g. the breadwinner is to the house. In this case, you are considered suitable to the house. Under the Eight House Theory, what is equally important is what is the intangible force for each of you in your bedroom. I am not sure why you want to change your main door. Other than the above, the Eight House cannot tell you much about the birth chart of the house. If you want to consider just the Eight House then it is `fine'. The other theory called the Flying Star is used to find out the birth chart of the hous…

Dear Anon, Please see below:- Nowadays, lots of house have the main door facing their neighbours directly. So long as we try to maintain cordial relationship, do not clutter the exterior and close the door when we need privacy, it is the best way. Rather than use Feng Shui. I mentioned in a few earlier messages that there are homes where one home placed a Ba Gua mirror above their door. The neighbour had no choice but to use another different mirror to try and `bounce' back such bad influence. Here, there is a lose-lose situation instead of a win-win situation. The best method is to: Either 1. Use a screen between the main entrance door to the balcony or 2. Close…

Under the Flying Star Feng Shui, #9 represents the fire element. And fire inflames #2 (bad - weak - earth) and #5 (bad strong earth) elements. Not exactly the kind of cure one should intend to apply to these two bad earth stars. Maybe, just maybe for #3 (bad wood). In my opinion, therefore, it is not the normal convention to apply 9 coins for #2 and/or #5. However, as Flying Star analysis takes into account the 81 combinations of the Mountain and Water Stars, then in some cases, it may be used.

1. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui:- 1.1. In congested urban Singapore, it is acceptable to have wide open spaces (where our apartment) is facing. 1.2 Overseas, especially in vast - sparsely vast land, it is often said that such vast open spaces is disadvantages as this part of the land is exposed to the elements and wind. And in China, the concern e.g. in Beijing is the north - dust flying and many homes prefer to have their main entrance facing south. 1.3 Thus under Para 1.2, above, the definition of inauspicious "open spaces" is that e.g. the cold winds or unblocked areas that are exposed to such strong winds, dusts is not good. 1.4 In land scarce Singapore, open sp…

Dear Gavin, Gavin Loe wrote: Can anyone please give some advise on the ideal location/facing for placing a fish tank with 8 gold & 1 black gold fish? Generally, the best position to place water feature is where there is an auspicious water star 8 present in that sector. You need to check out the flying star analysis of your home using our free reports on the website to determine which would be the best sector in the home which will benefit from a fish tank/water feature. If you do not look at these information, then usually the best place to place a fish tank or water feature is at the living room/balcony area which is often considered an open space. This is one ar…

1. May consider install a partition. Some comments on the type of partition can be found, here:- http://www.geomancy.net/wiki/Divider_or_Partition 2. On / Off! When the main door is opened, (if possible) the kitchen door is closed. Frankly this may not be practical day-to-day situation. Para 1 is a better choice.

Dear Anon, If you are applying the Flying Star, do check where the sickness star is located also. Under the Eight House theory, there is really not much one can do other than sleep further away from the death sector (where possible). An optional factor is to use Pillars of Destiny i.e. element strength to fine tune your situation. For example, this would depend on your element and its strength and if you have a partner, to look at both the relationship and one way is to use colours to help balance the situation. It can be the wall colours, the bedsheet or furniture. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Thanks for your `sharp eye'. Although 2 of the pictures happen to show 7 circles and dashes, it does not imply that all pictures will have 7 circles and dashes. In fact, as you correctly pointed out that in the North picture, there is only 4 circles and dashes. What is more important in the picture is if one looks carefully the profile of the star constellations or star formation. Furthermore, North, is the fourth block of 7 constellations. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi Master Cecil, I need another help with the current house plan. I kind of like the house, but noticed that bedroom 1 door is facing the hallway. What is your view on this plan? Or If I may ask, in your view what is the remedy I can do to the plan. I am still in my house hunting search and yet to find the right one. Thank you.

Dear Elena, 1. Yes, you are quite right. Money plants comes in small, medium or large plants. Small plants merely have roots and can grow in a small bowl filled with water. Smooth rocks are placed to hold the plants. Here, the money plant does not look like it has vines. 2. It is more a western concern, I believe that plants do not have vines rather than Chinese belief. I believe there is no issue. Perhaps, you can let us know who mentioned the statement or perhaps, the author or the book. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sophia, Yes, a toilet that can be seen from the main door is asthetically not appealing - whether it is based on Feng Shui or not. It would be good to close the toilet door when not in use. But if it always opened, then the shower curtain is a fabulous idea! Alternatively, closing the master bedroom door is another alternative. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jack, Feng Shui can help in two situations: 1.Apply the Eight House Theory: Best study directions and Best bed-head directions (for sleep) 2. Yin & Yang; Yang & Yin Many other situations may have to do more with the food you take, your current "stress-levels"; "support-group" etc... 1. Try to generateyour own personal Eight House chart to see where your best work directions are. If possible, but taking into consideration; the bedroom layout plan; you should try to sit facing agood direction for study. It is also nice to have the bed-head facing towards a good direction. But often, like the layout plan that you had sketched out, usually it is much harder …

Dear Anon, 1. Priority should be given to the Flying Star Analysis as it takes into consideration the Time Dimension in Feng Shui. 2. However, we have to ask this question: Although Flying Star Analysis takes into consideration the Time Dimension, what is the duration of the Flying Star analysis using the Time Dimension? For example, the usual standard is to do a 20 Year Flying Star and if the practitioner is proactive, would also do a Yearly Flying Star Analysis. 3. For those who use the report at Geomancy-online.com, a full report would include the 20 Year Flying Star, plus the Yearly and Monthly Flying Star analysis. 4. Normally, you should use the 20 Year Flying Star …

Dear Reina, Quote: ie period 7 (NW sector has 5-2-5 and yearly 5 will be very bad) ie period 8 (NW sector has 6-6-7 and yearly star 5 not too bad) I don't understand the NW 525 in 7 and 665 in 8. Can you please explain further. Frankly, this is lots of flying star related analysis. I was simply trying create an example to tell you that different period and different flying star numbers in the sector will make the yearly star have different overall influence. 5-2-5 are all three Strong Earth Illness/Misfortune star. With the yearly 5 again nother Strong Earth will make that sector extremely bad. 6-6-7 are Metal related stars. Metal helps to exhaust Earth, thus even if S…

1. Locally, in Singapore, as we have 4 major religious groups; especially for multi-nationals and small to medium sized businessess; if these business deals with the "public" at large, often if not, such a figurine is never displayed in an office. (Perhaps also due to the respect of other religions e.g. Muslims, Hindus, Catholics/Christians, etc.. 2. In Singapore, such figurines are often displayed within a home e.g. the living room.. and seldom in an office as mentioned earlier unless the office itself deals with such objects or figurines directly. 3. These are some of the considerations when placing a buddha figurine in an office:- 3.1 Usually, it is large, it should…

Dear Anon, Generally, there are two approaches with regards to placing a water feature: 1. Persional feeling (Most common method) Here, as you have mentioned, most likely, either the location choosen seems to be an appropriate choice or because of the home layout; we most likely find that this is one of the better choice. 2. Applying Flying Star Feng Shui As Flying star Feng Shui uses a "scientific" method of determining where a water feature is useful to be placed. Frankly, not many people may want to go for the second approach. However, without using or applying the second approach, there is no reference to state where we should place the fish tank other than usi…
