Dear Anon, 1. I am afraid, this is another marketing gimmick. Although, it may sound authentic, but unfortunately, this is too general to be of any use to anyone. 2. For example, lets say, everyone in this forum, hears of this and go buy one. And given that the odds are stacked against a gambler, mathematically (probability), it would only a few can win. 3. Going forward, it is truly hard to imagine; that if 1,000 users in this forum do so; how many can win? 4. It would not be good enough that 1 person has won but the remainer 100,000 folks out there which tried it will work. It is beyond comprehension, how it can help us. We all can guess who will be richer i.e. the pers…

Dear Anon, Please see below:- In my opinion, you should consider the House as a East House (E2 with the following range 67.5 to 82.4 degrees). Often, this location is analysed more on Shapes and Forms in relation to the cul-de-sac. As you cannot provide a sketch of the cul-de-sac vis-a-vis; your home layout, the fencing, the main gate etc.., it is difficult for me to make further comments. The four good/bad sectors are influenced based on the interior layout. In your home, more importantly, understanding the fence, gate (gate-way) and where your home is within this cul-de-sac will help further. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear David, 1. We all must understand that Feng Shui is not a `cure' all. 2. In my opinion, Great Feng Shui practitioners in the past try to apply Feng Shui that works for most people, most of the time. 3. Nowadays, it is sad that many Feng Shui practitioners use concepts like `wealth corner' etc... 4. For example, many Feng Shui practitioners will advise us that `X' is the location of the wealth corner. And when we follow their advise; it does not work. And, when we ask the practitioner, often, the answer is that `you must' have not done it right. 5. I can sum up that such Feng Shui practitioners are really not truly apply Feng Shui but rather, baised towards: Human or m…

Dear Alan, If it is a major renovation, your house would change it's birth chart. And Period 7, seems a sensible idea. Warmest Regards, Cecil

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 Anon, Based on past precedence (experience); the only areas that one can apply FS to a small studio apartment is:- 1. Commonsense approach Minimize clutter. This may be hardest but, it does make commonsense:) 2. Yin and Yang concept Look at your life-style: Are you the type that uses your bedroom for sleep or work/study cum sleep? If you make your room solely more for sleep (rest), than create a more cozy home. If you often do your work at home, than, make sure that there is a specific location, where you have your study/work location. Have everything placed neatly for this activity close-by. Often, the ideal choice is to place this study/work location, close to a -…

Dear Hoa Luong, The report you generated is for the 20 year Flying Star for period 7. However, the Year 2003 report is based on this year, thus the difference. One should look at the 20 year Flying Star numbers first and relate it to (any additional adverse stars of the Year 2003) which may make the sector worse-off. For example, for a South-West house at 240 degrees, the 20 year Flying Star for Period 7 are as follows:- #3 mountain #2 water with base #5 and Year 4 while for North is #5 mountain with #9 water and base #3. And Year 2. In such a situation, for such a house; Year 2 flew into the North and made the sector worse-off! This is how, we relate the Year i.e. 2003…

Dear Anon, 1. A reasonable question asked is: ?Is this the only leak found in your home?" 2. Often, from my past experience, there is not just one leak (major) but several major leaks. Thus, in my opinion, taking this approach alone is too `simplistic' method. For example, if we try to `cover-our-backside'; it does not mean that our woes or problem may go away. In fact, we have protected our front-part which can be very vulnerable. Thus, we can still continue to be a " Virtual Eunuch "; even if we chopped down a tree. But it is an important step, nevertheless, if it poses or act as a poison arrow. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, If there is a WC in there, then, it should be considered as a toilet at the center-point. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, In my opinion, based on your description, I personally, do not find it a `threat'. In Asia, many homes (landed property) has much higher fence(s). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Danny, Please see below:- It is preferred that the master bedroom is a rectangular shape (without odd corners or extension). This is especially so for a newly married couple. Since you have a son, there could be other underlining reasons. Often, the Flying Star Feng Shui is used to diagnose sectors that have bad #3 and #4 wood elements which are associated with quarrels and disputes. This is one direction, that you may consider pursuing. Most probably, some of the bad stars had flew into especially the fish (tank) location. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Carlos, 1. For an irregular shaped house, it is best to visualise, the flux of qi moving within the home. 2. Often, such a home (distorts) qi i.e. not smooth flowing or there are `substantial leaks' causing imbalances. 3. To find the centrepoint, one `crude' method is to place a copy of the layout on a cardboard. And `cut' out the profile of the house. Try to balance it with a pin or nail. (this is the centre of gravity). 4. Alternatively, try to `break' the profile of the home into two rectangles each with it's centrepoint. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Low Low, The problem here is Ba Zi analysis can be done on a basic level or on a comprehensive level. In order to determine whether you are weak or strong many analysis has to be done. 1. Computing the number of elements broken down into the five element. 2. Assigning proper weightage to the element based on the Seasons of Birth. 3. Determining if there are any elements which combines and clashes to form certain elements. 4. Checking the House of Life and House of Conception influences on the five element distributions etc. 5. And a few more rulesets. Only when you work out all these, can you determine properly whether an element is weak or strong. Take this for exam…

Dear Anon, You need to have more Wood (green/brown) in your clothing on a personal level. And/or to create a triple combination flow ie:- Metal (white/gold) -> Water (blue/black/gray) -> Wood (green/brown) Once in a harmonious flow of combination, it does not matter if the decor is more blue, as the water will be converted to Wood, and the Wood is neutralised by Metal. Thus, the elements become in harmony with each other as opposed to having too much of a certain element. Thus, in Feng Shui, it is important to note that it is more important to have a balance of 20% of each element. However, that is sometimes too difficult to achieve that. Thus, we apply feng shui ba…

Hi Low Low, Generally, people always wants if possible to select auspicious dates whether it be for moving into the home, opening the door, opening a business etc. So generally, auspicious dates can be used in any of the areas. So long as you think it is an important event and need a date to do so. The Auspicious Dates analysis report is meant to do that. It does a detailed comparison based on each person's ba zi. As no one single person has the same luck. Then next is to check on the Tong Shu Dates to ensure like for example no one likes to move in during say the Qing Ming month etc. In your question, moving in is usually defined as selecting a date which you officially…

Dear Anon, 1. Often, it is preferred not to have a mirror facing an open window or at the side of an open window - (based on "commonsense" approach to Feng Shui. 2. The main reason is "reflected light". Often, an external light source may inadvertenly shine into the home and is `captured' by say the mirror. If the light intensity is high, it may reflect `glare'. If we are `unfortunate' enough, we may be sitting down with the direct glare into our eyes and it feels so, uncomfortable. 3. Especially so, if there are shiny objects such as the profile of a vehicle. Light from it's body panel or windows may provide such a `glare'. 4. If you are confident that either reflected l…

Dear Anon, 1. The key success factor in a home is: location, location and location. 2. There is a difference between a "good house" and and "excellent house". 3. An excellent house is overall a `good house' plus it takes advantage of it's environment - to give it better Feng Shui. 4. An excellent house often makes use of it's external surroundings to give it a greater advantage i.e. it `sucks' or `soak' in wealth. 4.1 For example, it's main door is posited at a specific location that `collects' wealth from other developments or houses. Much like water draining (wealth) into the house. 4.2 Often, if the above is rare or cannot be physically achieved; the next best thing i…

Dear Meei Jinn, 1. As mentioned earlier, the key success factors esentially is: location, location and location. 2. Overall, in the past, I have elaborated that we should consider the heat source on our home. Often if the home is east to west direction (with the sun rise and sun set); And if the house is facing east (sitting west) or vice versa; and on a sunny day (assuming there are no trees to shade the frontage or the back; this type of house can be pretty hot all day. A hot home; is not ideal unless one is prepared to either withstand the heat or have the luxury to turn on the aircon. 3. Besides this, drainage such as a drain or canal behind the home is another consi…

Dear Anon, 1. Please do not be unduly alarmed. 2. This is because, in the earlier case study; I specifically mentioned that there were instances of an `unclean' temple. 3. Since, you had clearly indicated that a temple or place of worship does not exits; you should not be worried about the situation, 4. If the is no temple, just look out for an additional situation i.e. a lone tall tree (trunk) at the NE or right side of the home. 5. Another senario of the above case study is that the set of Flying Stars at NE of the home that I had mentioned were `too yin' or had many yin stars that flew into that sector. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, It is said that our luck is made up of three components: 1. Heaven Luck (can be examined by Ba Zi or Eight Characters / Pillars of destiny). 2. Earth Luck (Feng Shui) 3. Human (Man) Luck - (Relations with family ...) What you had mentioned is specific only to Para 1 (Heaven Luck). Traditionally, it is thru the use of colour assocations or best colours. In addition, for a strong water person; Fire is his/her wealth element. Yes, individually, colours can be used. But a metal - water wood combination is not favourable for a strong water person. (Specifically, metal element is not favourable as it helps fuel water element. (If one takes a simplistic view of J…

Dear Anon, 1. From a Feng Shui perspective, it is more important to understand the flow of qi within this house. 2. This is where, a layout plan is important. A layout plan can help us to `visualise' the flow of qi within the home. Instead of relying totally on the idea of three windows in a straight. 3. Questions asked (or posed) are: 3.1 Are the windows spaced quite far from each other. Usually, the distance between all three windows in a straight line can be quite far. And in theory, it may seem that qi can flow straight in and out. But, in reality qi often meander and perhaps only a small percent is `leak' out if any. 3.2 It is good to look at the furniture in each …

Toilets in the South

Dear Anon, 1. Frankly, if one lives in an apartment, there is no choice to relocate the toilet. This is unlike a private landed property where, some renovations can be done to shift the toilet position. 2. Just several weeks ago, this client was telling me that one of their friends had a Feng Shui practitioner `Feng Shui' their friends home. 3. The practitioner asked the couple not to use the Master bedroom toilet forever. And close the door (permanently). 4. This is not a good solution: 4.1 The best is to check for any other leaks in a home and fix them. Here, we should fix other leaks and try to increase our luck in other areas. 4.2 If a toilet is there, it is there. A…
