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 Anon, Anonymous wrote: Will you advise us to give up the toilets and make everything rectangular? Actually, there are public toilets in the building but it is kind of far. The layout 2 will be much cleaner and better in the long run. So that would be most recommended if possible. Anonymous wrote: Else, how could we cure the bad fengshui usually associated with L-shaped or cleaver design? It is really hard to cure such L-shaped type of layout. So if you can avoid it. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Kevin, 1. Under Feng Shui, the advise would still to have a frontage facing the street. However, the frontage can have a main door but opens inwards towards the `balcony' area. (Where possible the main door should not be in the line of sight of the balcony or back view. Thus one can still position the living room area towards the `back' of the house. Please see below:- This is usually not the norm. But at least if the main door is available this side of the house, it can usually open towards the living room facing the good view. However, you may need to be careful of the placement of the toilet. Best to have one side share an external wall. Avoid having the toile…

Dear Anon, Yes, there is such a thing as an auspicious or inauspicious direction of travel. This is based on the five elements concept and time dimensions of Feng Shui. For example even the Chinese Luopan can be used to check on this. By reading off the Chinese Luopan, one can check if the direction one should travel is auspicious or inauspicious. There will be a module on this site later this year on this. Please note that we should not go to the extend of looking at travel to mean travelling from home to office or for shopping. Travelling a few kilometres or simply travelling on a road to use such a theory. Travelling on a road, we do not have control over the directi…

Dear Anon, 1. Pictures with bamboo as part of the background is quite a common feature. 2. For example a painting with Pandas invariably does have bamboo at the backdrop of the picture. 3. Other pictures such as a scenery of a man fishing and the backdrop of bamboo shoots in the background is equally common. 4. Some other pictures, also contain monkeys, birds with bamboo trees at the background. 5. I am not sure if I got what you mentioned correctly i.e. is the painting or picture soley on bamboos? No other objects or animals within the picture/painting. 6. Each picture or painting should be viewed on a case-by-case basis and it is difficult for me to comment on the short…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I have just purchased a new flat and the concept of my theme is white and zen style. But I just happened to see that my unfavourable colour is green, brown and red. I have brought my bedroom set which is oak in colour and also the tile of my toilets comes with oak brown colour.

Are you are a Strong Fire element? If so, then yes these colours make may your element too strong. However, you can also attempt to balance it by introducing a 3rd element. ie Earth…

Dear Spring Bennett, spring bennett wrote: hi, what can i do to bring good tiding for 2007, i am a water rabbit, believe weak water and forecast not so good? My sincere thanks! Always have more of your favourable elements that you lack in your ba zi. Such as wearing favourable colours of clothes, own or drive a car that is of your favourable colours, stay in a house that is suitable and if possible a suitable element for you, have a suitable career etc. All these will automatically, improve you luck. This way even if the year isn't that favourable, all these favourable elements will boost your luck improving your resistance to a bad year etc or at least minimising the im…

Dear Anon, 1. If the tree is in your property, the best recommendation is to simply trim it neatly. 2. Yes, especially if the tree comes too close to the window one can use a fork (which is a safer object than knife or blade). If a knife is used, it is preferred that one uses a butter knife (not so dangerous). 3. But the most effective, is to either trim it or if you do not own it but by the municipal, write to them to trim it. Or simply close the curtain (if you can). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Denise, 1. The main `concern' in Feng Shui is that it is inauspicious to let the toilet bowl face a location e.g. it can be the dining room table etc... 2. Thus based on the concept " If one cannot see the poison arrow or in this case Sha Qi, it no longer becomes a threat. 3. Therefore, normally closing the toilet door would do. You can consider, the rest of the things you mentioned as `luxuries' i.e. not compulsory to do such as keeping the lid down. 4. In my opinion, it is not adviseable to place a full length mirror unless one looks closely at that specific sector. As a mirror is considered able to reflect or `double' the bad luck if that sector is not auspicious.…

Hi, Generally, you should not have any object blocking your main door, as it will divert or split away the Qi (C'hi) from flowing into the house through the main door. Also, if you can see the threat it is often considered a poison arrow. However, may I ask how long have you moved into the house. And whether since you move in did you encounter any problems? One way to see if the tree is really bad or not is to see if you have any major problems (sickness, accident etc.) Also wether or not you should cut down the tree also depends very much on whether it helps you block other more dangerous poison arrow. For example if there a street lamp behind the tree, then the tree act…

Dear Flannery, 1. Under the symbolic animal concept, yes, the centre represents the Yellow snake. 2. Overall, we should not take the animals "literally". As the saying goes "a picture paints a thousand words". 3. Let me go off-track (first): In Singapore, when we started our first Singapore elections to elect representatives to Parliament, it was mandatory for political parties to adopt animal signs. 4. Thus, if one does not have or could not think of one; candidates can choose from the register a list of "party symbol". Thus one can find an independent candidate with e.g. an animal symbol as an example an elephant, or star etc... 5. Therefore, if (in a hypotheical case)…

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Caveat Emptor! Let the buyer beware. 2. Especially if one's birthdate falls in a so called "grey" area; if you get 10 geomancers to "prepare" a Ba Zi chart; often one will find that 6 out of 10 will get it all "mixed" up. 3. An eye opener is to be aware of any geomancer that sells commercial products in the name of Feng Shui. To them these so called modern commercial products have one fragrance: "Buy cheap, Sell HIGH". Guess who pockets the change? But, unfortunately, like the saying goes: "When the buying stops (not possible); just maybe, the selling ENDS?" 4. In order to reason why Fung Sway is being practiced in "this manner" …

Dear Zarah, Please see below:- Here, especially for anyone who wants to determine whether: 1. Is this a missing corner? 2. Can this be a protrusion instead of a missing corner? Under Para 1, for ease of identification, we consider a sector (we divide the house equally into 9 sectors). If the area of the sector is greater than 33.3% of the size of that sector, this is usually considered as a missing corner. If it is a `slight' recess, perhaps, you may want to check to see if this is truly a missing corner i.e. 33.3percent of the area is missing. A small mirror, does not `effectively' provide the "depth" require to cure a missing corner > 33.3 percent. It only ac…

Dear Sophia, Since Grand Duke is at the location mentioned, it is better to be on the safe side -- i.e. move the grandfather clock away from this location. However, a double edged sword exists if there are nasty #5's x 2 at this location. If so, between choosing ot offend Grand Duke or "submitting" one's soul to devil, it is better should there be a multiple of #5 in that location to leave it to deal with the "devil". The morale of the story? " The Devil has the right of way, first! Grand Duke, move-aside!". Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: My parents are unsure of my time of birth though it is stated in my birth certificate. My mother felt that I should be borned on the day but the birth certificate indicated night. Will I still be able to get advice on feng shui on my place if this information is lacking. It is best you leave the time unknown, if youare not sure, or cannot be sure which 2 hour time range your time of birth falls under. The ba zi without the time of birth will more or less give you the overall influence of the person born within the day itself. Only a few hours will alter the percentage of the five element and very few will have a different birth strength (ie w…

The one thing that comes to my mind here is that tarot is another form of divinity nothing related to Chinese Feng Shui. The closest I can think of a Chinese divinity is the I-Ching or oracle. So since tarot is not really feng shui I do not see how you can use tarot directly or indirectly in feng shui. Feng Shui uses mainly ba zi, eight house, flying star and external shapes an…

Dear Sophia, Yes, so far, I have seen many people who had placed a micro-wave next to the refridgerator and even opposite it. If one sees the productive cycle flow of the five elements, metal supports water, this is a productive cycle. Thus no issue. It is not like water destroys fire under the destructive cycle flow. Which is often considered not auspicious. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Based on what you had explained, the more common approact is the door which you enter the actual living space and not the door at the ground level before approaching the living space. The rationale is because if one takes the `exterior' door, the compass direction extends outwards and it is hard to pinpoint the main entrance door. Warmest Regards, Cecil
