Dear Sor Lan, Please see below:- Before touching on with your question, in the past, I have mentioned on two issues: 1. double decker beds ===================== Previously, there were some concerns that double decker beds are unhealthy for the young. But, in my opinion, and also that many (many) people have actually slept in a double decker bed, there is really no issue here. Some FS practitioners spell out the notion that the person sleeping at the lower decker is like having a beam above their head. I personally do not agree with this argument. This is because unlike a beam (concentrated) at the specific spot, the upper bed is relatively flat and does not exert an…

Dear Anon, 1. A key ingredient of Feng Shui is qi flow. 2. Given that there is an upgradig of the grounds and facade. And also the roof has been modified or enhanced, this is very strong grounds for qi change. And thus, most likely, will affect your house period. 3. It is very interesting to note that, currently our life span is relatively short e.g. 60 to 80 or even 90 years. 4. Since one Flying Star chart is based on 20 years each, many Feng Shui practitioners that are alive today, cannot really provide an exact answer. Anyone claiming to be 100 percent sure - should be looked at with a pinch of salt. 5. Here, for example if a Feng Shui practitioner is say 58 years old…

Dear Anon, 1. For a threat towards the interior of the home: If one looks out of the window, one should not see a lone tree slicing thru the window. If so, a simple day curtain to screen or a blind would be useful. 2. Yin and Yang concept: Often, a large tree is not advisable especially if it has lots of branches and leaves. The rationale here is that, because of the tree, what is underneath the tree becomes `dark' i.e. no sunlight penetrate thru. And it is because of this; that we consider the location or area `yin'. Too yin, or darked area, is not really too good. 3. Often, it is said that spirits (or for those who believe in spirits); a spirit may harbour or hide ins…

Dear Anon, 1. If one hires a Feng Shui practitioner who practises (Ren Cai) or Human/Man luck Feng Shui, more often, a fountain is placed close to the main entrance door area. 2. But, honestly, the placement of a fountain comes under the following considerations:- 2.1 It is not advisable to have a fountain - especially if the breadwinner is a weak fire or strong water person. As a water position can overwhelm the weak fire or extinguish his weak fire. If one is a strong water person, too much water can also overwhelm him/her. 2.2 What is the actual purpose of a fountain? 2.2.1 If one is living on a landed property, a water position especially at the frontage does help. Th…

Dear Dragana, Please see below:- Given this senario, often, when one visits a so called Feng Shui website, they always sell such (commercial) things. The only difference I find between the Mandarin ducks vs the three legged toad is that: perhaps, the pair of mandarin ducks appeal more to westerners. While many Chinese: in Singapore, many of the lower (middle) income Chinese e.g. living in three or four room flats have such a three legged toad. All these are fool hardy, given that the money goes into the pocket of the seller. Frankly, should treat all these as decoration. If one likes say a painting, it can be pleasing to one's eyes. In fact, most of the material …

Dear Peck Wun, Please see below:- In matter what, your home is still a Period 7 apartment. Period 7 spans between 1984 to 2003. Therefore, even if there are several renovations or major renovations done e.g. in 2001, 2002 or even this year; your apartment will still be a Period 7 apartment/house. Where possible try not to do any work at South South-Weat or 210 degrees. If this is at true compass direction South-West, then it is still ok. If you have a compass, try to locate the centerpoint of your home. Stand there and confirm that the location is not South South-West 210 degrees. No, this is minor and no issue. Unless, you need to remove the aircon unit moun…

Dear Peck Wun, In my opinion, if it is a small hole; and unintentional, usually there is no issue, here. However, on the safe side, (touch wood) - [This is not Feng Shui - but common beliefs) if you incur any problems, and if you have an altar at home, simply light up three jost sticks and pray towards the grand duke direction asking for forgiveness. After this, buy some flowers and lime (cut the lime) and place them into a basin; bathe and after bathing, pour the water onto your head down to the back. For more information, do a search in this website for " lime " or "rose ". [ Have mentioned, in detail what to do with it. ] Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Carlos, 1. In my opinion, this may not be the correct way to solve your problems. 2. A Ba Gua mirror is often used to either: 2.1 Ward of evil and/or 2.2 Neutralise Sha Qi (poison arrows). (For example, a house located at a `T' junction. 3. Often, it is placed outside the main entrance door or above the window of a house. 4. Otherwise, it is best to check out what is wrong i.e. are there any leaks externally or internally in the home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Utpal, 1. Although, red can be associated with the `fire' element, this is only one perspective or point of view. 2. Far from this single view or vocab that red = fire; red alternatively also represents auspiciousness for the Chinese. 3. Understanding the Five Elements Concept:- 3.1 Besides what I mentioned under Para 2, everything that is tied in red, therefore is symbolic of `auspiciousness'. 3.2 The Six coins cure and the red string or ribbon: For the six coins cure: Six represents `big metal'. The square hole at the centre of this six coins represents `earth' element. Earth element helps to strengthen metal element. Since the arrangement of six coins represent …

Dear Anon, 1. Often, this has more to do with psychology (or beliefs) then Feng Shui. 2. For example, many of us, cannot stand the sight of blood or `cruelty'. In nature, fishes, often caught live fishes and eat them. 3. Other than the above, or for the person who feeds the fish, if one is conscious of such activity, then, one may feel unease. 4. This category of activity should be classified more of a `Ren cai'(human / man luck activity). 5. Often we have `dealings' and communication with our loved ones, friends and at work. 5. We can draw a parallel to what you had mentioned to (extreme cases). Often, we hear that a criminal e.g. one that had taken someone else life. S…

Dear Anon, 1. Drawing a parallel, nowadays, also, this type of Feng Shui is too general to be effective. It is like the notion of North = career sector; SW = romance sector. 2. Although: West is associated with metal; East with wood; there is not much this can tell us. 3. A more accurate interpretation is to apply Flying Star Feng Shui. This is because each sector has three variables: the mountain star; the water star and the base star. 4. For example, the Flying Star analysis is based on the birth chart of each home. Here, one needs to know the year the house was born or had a major renovation. The direction of the house. 4.1 Senario 1: ============== If this (west) sect…

Dear Anon, 1.It is always best to understand each concept or theory in order to have a good grasp or proper foundation to help us achieve success. 2. The first thing that comes to my mind when you mentioned Gua or Kua is: 2.1 What is it based on? When we first try to apply this we need to provide an input. For Gua or kua numbers : we merely need our year of birth. However, contrast this carefully with the inputs needed for ba zi analysis. For ba zi (Pillars of destiny) we not only need to have the Year of birth, but also at least the Month, Day of birth. And if we can, try to also use our hour of birth. 2.2 So what is so different with these two concepts? We can tell at a…

Dear Guest, 1. The rationale why, the "numbers game" is not used in Feng Shui is; as you had correctly pointed out: it is subject to so many different interpretations! 2. For some race (and dialect) groups, it could be based on phoentic sounds. 3. Since, numbers are to be interpretted so widely or diversly, it would seem furtile to argue which numbers are better. 4. Even in numerology, there are just too many schools. And where do we begin? 5. More importantly, if it is from a Feng Shui angle, often, it is not the number of the unit but rather: the external environment, the site, the building that plays an important part. 5.1 For example, we often find homes with `nice' n…

Dear Kochakorn, 1. Frankly, as you have mentioned, it is all a matter of our individual taste. 2. Most of the time, plates of china are often not too dark (perhaps this is my personal preference). But there is generally no issue with regards to Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil I'm getting a

Dear Wasis, It would be nice to select an auspicious date. But if things has past, it is best to forget about it. Anyway, the date may not be very inauspicious or inauspicious. It could instead be average or mixed blessing dates. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. The key success factor in-fact has to do with: location, location and location. This is where the house / apartment is situated in an excellent location, first. 2. It is good to go thru some of my previous forum messages. Try to search for things like: " quantum leap "; to understand what excellent homes mean. 3. Therefore, Para 1 and 2, comes first. Next, it is good to have a suitable house/apartment. Please use the free Eight House tools available at: geomancy-online.com to generate reports to analyse the home. 4. For those who are new, should read some of the resources: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Vun Fook, 1. I really appreciate if users could go thru some of the past resourses in this forum. 2. In particular, I have emphasised many times of the three step-approach: 2.1 What is the purpose of each concept 2.2 What are it's strengths 2.3 What are it's weaknessess 3. Understand Shapes and Forms and Compass School Feng Shui and ba zi, first. Try to do a search on each of what you had mentioned, below and find out there purpose, strengths and weakness. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. The test for a real treat is : for us to stand inside of our house - Main door and windows and look out directly. If we do not see a threat slicing straight into our house, this is normally not a threat. 2. However, if it is an angle of a house and it `cuts' into our house, this is considered a threat. 3. For office buildings, reflective glass can be considered as a threat, since it reflects or deflect light. 4. For the home, a threat can seeminly come from the walls of another house. For example, if the afternoon sun, shines onto this wall, and from our window, we get a really bad reflective glare, this can be considered as deflected, sha qi. A simple solut…

Dear Rose, *Joke* Perhaps, why there is not much resource in a dentist's waiting room is a real human issue. As all Feng Shui practitioners are (human - flesh and blood); I can say for myself, I dread going to a dentist myself! Erh.. can I excuse myself from this topic:( Jokes aside, Feng Shui can be applied in a dental clinic. I will try to recollect some of the important points for you: 1. Clinic Logo You can mention that often, the investor (often the dentist himself) sets up his/her own practise. For the purpose of this message, when I refer to his / him (I am refering to him or her) else I may inadvertently anger ladies listening in!. A dentist may consult a geomance…

Dear Wasis, 1. In my opinion, so far, there are no long term or even short term studies done on this area. 2. I personally feel that there is no harm in doing so; it is really up to homeowner. For example, talking clocks, cuckoo clocks and clocks that chime every hour have been around for quite sometime. 3. Therefore, if it makes one comfortable and secure, this has more to do with Ren cai (man luck) than Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Utpal, It is best to check the specific Flying Star chart of your home. For example: Senario 1 - Main door at West 2 or 270 degrees. The Flying star chart for South is as follows: The house is a Period 7 house. And it has the following stars: 1 mountain 5 water 2 base And as you had mentioned, there is a year 1. In such a home, South sector is plagued with two very bad earth elements: #5 misfortune, sickness and #2 sickness. And these are earth elements. If the material of your horses has a large earth content, then, it may not be favourable here. Overall, the only reasonable implied use of horse in Feng Shui is for `success' or to compete for success. This is where…

Five Elements and favourable colours
by Guest- 1 reply

Dear Anon, For a strong metal person, the most favourable element is: Water (blue, black or gray). The next two favourable elements are Wood (green or brown) and Fire (red, pink or purple). For a strong wood person, the most favourable element is Fire (red, pink or purple) as fire element will help to exhaust wood. As fire element is increased, earth (yellow, cream or beige) can be used. Next best favourable element is metal, as metal inturn will help to exhaust earth. Actually, you can use the free comparison report at www.geomancy-online.com to determine these. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, In a recent upgrade of the Members Area, the Free flying star analysis report on the website is no longer limited in anyway. Although, the support for it will still be limited. As we do not have the time to explain to each user who post us the full chart and expect us to explain it. A full version is already available which does a comprehensive analysis, where Cecil and myself can then focus not on the calculation but rather the actual application of the report. The free report will then allow you to make your own conclusion on your house. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Raja, 1. Let me share with you my personal experience on laughing Buddha and all sorts of crystals... 2. I personally feel that these should be treated merely as decorative items. 3. Typically, in Singapore, especially those who are Chinese, mandarin educated, staying in three room apartments and some four room (government housing), do have such figurines in their homes. Often, they not only have one laughing buddha, but often even two, a coin bank or even the three-legged toad. Plus often, at least a fish tank. And often, they would have stayed in the home for more than 8 or more years with little progress. 4. Imagine, already, their flat is cluttered, adding more …
