Dear Gordon, If you live in a domitory or short of space e.g. a rented room, frankly, there is really no issue in this. Look at it this way, many educated people have lived in domitories and were successful after their studies. More... Some Feng Shui practitioners, I understand, are against this, because they were afraid that qi cannot flow underneath a bed. But, there are many families who allow their young ones e.g. age between 1 to 5 years old - to sleep on a mattress on the floor. And in many cultures, often, people sleep on the floor or floor mat. And there are no adverse problems. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, From my personal experience, it is not good to hang a wind chime with various `elements'. For example, it is still better to hang a wind chime that has no more than two elements: Example: A wind chime that has a wood clinger and a wooden `roof' combined with say hollow alluminium/metal rods is still OK. But as you had described, the wind chime that may have several elements e.g. silvery green, if dolphins are blue etc... This year, for a period 7 house, North seems a pretty bad location for most homes. Given this situation, a wind chime at North (can still be considered) unless, one has a huge open field and close to a `dirty' temple. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kay Song, Traditional Feng Shui sites like this practise the following concepts: 1. Heaven Luck Do a search for Pillars of Destiny or Ba Zi or Eight Characters. 2. Earth Luck 2.1 This is truly Feng Shui or the earth luck. 2.2 In Traditional Feng Shui; there are two major schools: - Shapes and Forms - Compass School: Eight House and Flying Star 3. Human or man luck 3.1 This is the most mis-used area. 3.2 For example, go to any Feng Shui site and they often claim that e.g. 3-legged toad or some figurine are very good for us. 3.3 However, there is always a hidden agenda behind this. Imagine, in China a 3-legged toad can be carved for as little as US$15 - cheap labour a…

Dear Kenny, 1. Thank you for the link. I have already checked out the two designs. 2. If you look at the attachment (Source and credit to: HDB), one can find that both units does not have toilet(s) at the centrepoint. Other comments: Blk 297B Compassvale Street #02-24 ================================== Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui: 1. It is not as auspicious to have the main door (face) the dining table. 1.1 This is more of a commonsense approach in Feng Shui. 1.2 The rationale is because often, in many homes, the dining table is often cluttered with food e.g. bread and since not all family members return home at the same time, food is often left on the table. The di…

Dear Anon, Please see below:- To clarify, I hope I get you correctly. Do you mean to say that there is a window at the 2nd storey landing? Often, this is acceptable (in terms of bringing in or filtering) in light into the area. Usually, if there is a window, often, up to waist height should be fixed / permanent and either a casement or swing up window is acceptable. If the window is not fixed below; it may be a safety issue for young children. Personally, I do not see this as an issue; if what you mentioned seems that way. If the mirror is quite a distance away; often this is not an issue. By any chance do you have pointed gate or any objects pointed towards the …

Dear Jumin, 1. Please refer to the destructive cycle chart under the Five elements concept: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-5element.htm 2. Let's take a simple example:- 2.1 Case 1 : A Strong Metal person ================================== If one looks at the chart carefully; Metal destroys Wood. Here, imagine that one has a strong metal implement and a block of wood. In the hands of a scupture; this block of wood that costs a few dollars can be transformed into an object of art. Here, this piece of wood is worth much more. For example, cheap labour in China can convert this simple block of wood into a three-legged toad figurine. Where the block of wood cost…

Dear Francesca, 1. Sorry for the delay. 2. Yes, even if your renovation is about to be completed soon or even completed; one can still truly beneifit from a full audit. 3. For those who are in the same shoes as you; I will tailor the audit with more inclination towards looking more into your Heaven Luck (Pillars of Destiny) with reference to each family member's Ba Zi traits, luck pillars and also into palmistry. 4. In fact, just last Sunday morning, I spent close to 3 hours just with the two couples. For weekends, or a full audit session, my timing is often two sessions: Morning Session: either 8.30am or 9.00am Afternoon Session: either 1.30pm or 2.00pm (depending on the…

Dear Peck Wun, 1. I hope you can understand that there are alreay available resources on this. Plus, there are lots of examples and even actual cases of how centrepoint was derived in attachments by uses. 2. For a lay person who wants to understand better, then go to this resource: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm Look at the example of how, one can copy the layout; glue it on a cardboard, cut-it out and try to balance it on a pin. The centrepoint is all about: the centre of graivty. This is particularly possible if the house has lots of indents. But if the house is `L' shaped, then divide the home into two or more rectangles. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Reyla, 1. How long have you been staying in this house? 2. Are you facing financial distress? 3. Overall, there are two major Shapes and Forms `handicap' for this home: 3.1 Please refer to marking `A'. ================================ In addition to the toilet at the centrepoint of the home; another further problem is that the centrepoint or the centre-of-gravity for this home does not have clear space. Here, qi from all areas of the home cannot congregate or meander at this centrepoint or `flux'. Often, if one stays in such a home for more than 2 or 3 years, one can feel the impact of financial problems. Since qi cannot effectively flow `about' in all directions. 3.…

Further to what I had mentioned; United Overseas Land Limited associated project was this condo - The Eden Executive Condominium. Name: The Eden Type: Executive Condominium Location: TAMPINES ST 34 Total No of Units: 430 TOP Date: May 2003 (in batches) Tenure: 99 years w.e.f 12/9/2000 In my opinion, this developer is lesser known because it develops fewer residential projects than the Hong Leong Group and it's subsidiary City Developments Limited (CDL) and Far East Organisation put together. Some of United Overseas Land's recent projects include The Sunshine, Moulmein and Country Park. The url is as follows:- http://203.126.226.234/uol/residential.htm In my opinion, …

Dear Jen, Let's take alook at commonsense approach to Feng Shui. Often, the most convenient place to walk in and out of various rooms is a passage-way. Here, imagine a passage way (or clear space at the centrepoint of the home). In better Feng Shui homes, this corridor or area is the `flux' or centrepoint of a home. A low set of sofa furniture is still ok, since, it represents clear space i.e. nothing at this `centrepoint' that is as high as a wall. Please note that it does not necessary mean that all homes must have clear space here. It depends. What is not so favourable are locations like: a toilet / toilet bowl and a kitchen's stove etc... Under commonsense approach t…

Dear Anon, 1. Yes, washing machines should be considered as a water position. 1.1. Especially front loading washing machines that has a circular glass pothole. 1.2. Thus it is less than ideal for this glass pothole to face the stove. 2. In addition, water pipe is used to draw in water into it at the back and the output of dirty water is also produced. 3. A microwave is (contrary) to popular belief - belongs to the metal element. Since, it's energy is concentrated inwards. Fire is not used to conduct this energy but instead microwave (metal) element is used to disturb the molecules to cook them. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Ellen, The Kallang River canal seems to be slicing into the area where Blk 124 and the Macpherson constituency building makes this block so, so. Better unit is opposite of the canal. Since you mentioned that the canal will be covered, this is better. Since this is a point-block, where qi can flow all round it, this is a plus point. Overall, I would say that it is an `average' site. (However, still in general ok.) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, In my opinion, the key success factors are: 1. Location, Location and Location The three L's are the most important consideration. For most of forum members - this refers to Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. 2. Next; are the critical and nice to have: 2.1 Flying Star Feng Shui - It would be nice to have - double (something) at the main entrance. For example under current Flying Star period of 1984 to 2003; it is nice to have doube 7's at the main entrance. 2.2 Where possible, under the Eight House, best not to have death or disaster sectors at the main entrance. It can still be. But often, this is already like a broken arm even before one moves into the home. 2.3 Ba …

Dear Maggie, In my opinion, numerology is very diverse - and subject to so many interpretations. For example, for some, number 13 is an unlucky number. But for others, it is ok. If one is in Hong Kong or Guandong China; then one may meet up lots of Cantonese dialect group. Here, the spoken phonetic word for number 4 literally translated as `die'. But if you are in Singapore, most likely, this is less of an issue, since the majority dialect group is made up mostly of Hokkiens who come from Fujian Provience in China. In fact, I have come across so many Singaporeans that has house number 4 or 44 or 444. Car number plates with 4444 etc.. and even phone numbers with such numb…

Dear Anon, In compass readings, there is no right or wrong answers. Often, this is a `live' subject based on the dwelling. For more information, please go thru this resource:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-cecilcompass.htm For example, taking a reading from the centrepoint or the flux, in my opinion, is one of the methods used, here also. One has to remember that we are not living in the past. In the past, if one looks at all the Chinese homes, the main door is often the `facing' direction. Nowadays, many apartments, flats and bungalows often have doors at the side. And to say that standing at the door facing out to read a direction is as subjective as any ot…

Dear Fran?oise, 1. It is never wise to use Gua number to guage compatibility. 2. The biggest obvious reason is that `statistical' nightmare considering that between a pair or couple: such a compatibility is 50-50 percent chance. 3. Since, all of us belong to either East or West group. And majority of the time: it will end up either being " compatible e.g. East with East group or the other 50 percent of the time East with West group. 4. In the professional Ba Zi analysis; a better method is to look at compatibility in relation to ba zi. For example, Husband is a weak fire person. And wife is a strong water person. In such a situation, often, the dominant party is the wife.…

Dear Caroline, Under the Eight House Theory, there is relatively, nothing much else one can do other than try to face a favourable direction. In fact, having one's back to a `glass' wall is not necessarily bad so long as there is a back row cabinet behind us. Usually, this cabinet is at the same level as our side partition. This is symbolic of a mountain position. Often, other objects (placement of charms or figurines) in most cases are more of Ren Cai or Human Luck factor. This affects us mentally than - as a charm or help. In fact, nowadays, our table have little real-estate given that we already have a monitor or keyboard and mouse. Warmest Regards Cecil

Note: Dear Lorie, Please note that participants under Newsgroup; are not able to upload pictures. In order to do so, one has to create a forum account (forum member) and actually post an attachment. One can also choose to remain Anonymous by checking on this box prior to posting the message. Please also try not to upload too large an attachment i.e. try to resize it smaller with .jpg format. - Cecil Lee Hi again... It looks as if the floor plans and pictures never made it to the newsgroup, so I'm going to try and upload them again. Sorry for all the trouble!! Thanks again Cecil, and bless you times ten for your advice. Lorie

Dear Madan, If the Flying Stars are ok at this sector; since the person is a weak metal person; it is best to harmonize the room to this person's element. Thus, for a weak metal person, the best element to help him/her is "earth" element (yellow, cream or beige). This is the best "boost" as earth helps to fuel or increase weak metal. Another element that is favourable to this person is `metal' which is white or gold. Therefore, as you had mentioned if this sector is balanced and if there are no bad #5 or #2 earth stars here, then the best colour for the bedroom is cream or beige i.e. on the walls. And we can also harmonise this room by adding metal e.g. white or `gold' c…

Dear Anon, This sounds very familiar recently. This is because nearly everyone who got their keys at The Eden condo at Tampines are `cursing' their developer. Fortunately, many of those who got their keys in the first phase - several of my clients there, are fortunate to have the kitchen at the `South' location. If the kitchen is at the south, this if acceptable i.e. OK to have the stove face a water position. In general; the most inauspicious is the kitchen is at the north of the house. (For example, if one stands at the centrepoint and use a compass. If the kitchen is at the north direction; this is not very favourable. To be honest; the only Feng Shui remedy is to r…

Dear Anon, The link can be found here: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-face.htm In fact, other than to see a doctor; some people managed to use a strand of their hair and tie a knot to `kill' or starve the mole. And often, it drops off after a few days. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, I have viewed, once, opened, close and open your mail. Seeing whether I have the time to understand even if I have to reply to it. Frankly, I often do not really like mails that show only text e.g. SSW etc.... To be more effective, I prefer a sketch or pictures. As I hope you can understand, I do not want to have additional `white hair' digesting the information. I had just glanced thru your message. Often, high walls are not favourable especially since you live on the ground level. Especially so, if the walls do not have `openings' in between. For example, some wrought iron grilles with a flower bed. This is often better to soften the walls. " And not make you…

Dear James, 1. Often, a better method is to apply Flying Star Feng Shui. This is because, if the sector that you are placing a water position has #3 or #4 i.e. bad wood elements (disputes, legal entanglements, scandals etc...) 2. Then under the Five elements concept: Water helps fuel wood element. 3. In such a situation, this will further inflame #3 or #4. 4. If you are not sure what I am talking about, please do some research into Flying Star. Or do a SEARCH in this forum for this topic. 5. The worst location based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui is to try and avoid water position at WEST direction of the house. As this is said to be the white-tiger domain. Water could in…
