These are some of the considerations: 1. Frankly, one has to see beyond the "bedroom corner" and the main door. 2. For example, there is a difference between (see attachment) Layout A or Layout B. 3. If your home is "Layout A"; where the bedroom door does not directly face the main door: see attachment: Markings A or A1 ; or the door bedroom door could be at the other side; then the considerations are different from that of Layout B. 4. If assuming your Layout is A; sometimes it may be a blessing in disguise if there are some openings at BLUE marking "C". Just close your eyes and imagine... if you shift your main door to the right and if one opens window(s) frequently; th…

Dear Anon, If your compass direction falls between: 217.5 to 232.4 degrees then treat this as 225 degrees which is SW2 For others: 202.5 to 217.4 degrees then treat this as 210 degrees or SW1 etc... Therefore, in your case, you should treat it as SW2 since it falls under 217.5 and 232.4 degrees. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Glenn, In this website, the direction of the main entrance door is determined from the centrepoint of the house. Therefore, NE 68 degrees is used here as the main entrance door when applying the tools here. Taking the direction of the main entrance door from the centrepoint is the standard method used throughout Flying Star School especially if the ordinary compass is used. If one uses the Loupan to analyse a direction, another method is used. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Aloysius, Ideally, the main entrance door should not be in a direct path with the balcony. If so; depending on the layout of the door; if the door is close to one side of the apartment, then logically, a partition can be placed between the main door and the balcony area or alternatively, the side of the sliding door facing the main door should not be opened. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, When planting plants or trees avoid having the tree trunk slicing into the house. If so, it may become a threat. In all my audit rounds, if the bedrooms are at the west and affected by direct sunlight, the interior layout especially the position of the bed and even the study table should be carefully looked at both from Feng Shui and commonsense approach. Locally, it can be quite hot especially if the bedroom is in direct contact of the sun eg. west. And it is the brickwall, one can even (if one places one's hand) next to this wall, feel the heat as much as 3 or more hours after sunset. Thus, if one were to place a bed parallel to the wall, the person sleeping …

Yes, this is a pretty common senairo for many apartments. Anonymous wrote: Hi there, I have the same issue where the front door is directly aligned with the back sliding door but my property is a condo and will be too small to put up a screen or partition; is there anything else that can be done? Perhaps with the use of crystals? Thank you! Often, these are the common senarios:- 1. Often, we can draw "down" the curtain. And the curtain can act as a partial screen. 2. If it is a sliding door, then, slide the fixed panel towards the side directly facing the main door. 3. If we have a tall cabinet e.g. a tall tv cabinet. This is a plus point.

I'm new in feng shui.Both husband & I are Eastern type & our baby is Western type. As we will be moving into a rented apartment in Tokyo soon, I'm desperate to know if there are any remedies and improvements(though paintings & modifications are impossible for rented place) to be done for the following condition: 1)Apartment is situated close to the lift(elevator). Infact, the floor layout shows that the wall of the bathroom are just next to the elevator. 2)The Main door of the apartment is at the extreme left when one faces the door. In other words, the facing & main door both at architectural though door is in different sector(according to the Flying Star…

Dear Cheui May, Usually, the "main door" is where the house number or apartment number is placed. The other entrance which does not have this is usually called the "side door". Normally, we advise the use of the side door for those users who already have an existing house with a main door which is not suitable for them to use the alternative side door especially if it is better. However, if you have not purchase a house, it would still be better if you find a house with the main door as the best direction rather than use the alternative side door. It will help if you use the side door although it is not a good as the true main door. Usually used as an alternative sol…

Dear Anon, Under `modern' living with `compact homes' is considered acceptable to see the dining room when walking in. I understand your concern as some FS practioners believe that this is not `auspicious'. We have to face reality and many apartments do have such a configuration. In Singapore, in some of the older estates, this is usually not the case as the dinning room is further inside the house or next to the kitchen. Many new Housing Board Mansionnettes and private condominum buildings usually have such a configuration. Here we have to understand that more importantly there are higher priorities such as `worse' things like a toilet next to the main entrance, a toile…

Dear Anon, Under Flying Star Feng Shui, it is preferred to look at all 9 sectors or grids instead of just looking specifically at the main entrance. If there is a #3, #6 and #9 combination, at the main door, in general, #6 or big metal is able to neutralise #3. And, at this location, avoid futher fueling bad #3 (wood) by avoiding the colour green or plants at the main entrance. In addition, avoid the colour blue. (As under the Five Elements concept: water aids or fuel wood). Under Flying Star Feng Shui, each sector should be specifically looked into and balanced - based on similar facts/information. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Max, 1. It would be best to look at the environment (other buildings), the site and building based on Shapes and Form FS. Therefore, it is quite difficult for me to comment on just a few things. 2. On a commercial level: 2.1 If the building is an existing building, perhaps, you may need to find out more.. how the previous tenants were fairing. Plus looking at rental amounts... 2.2 How is the pedestrian traffic like. It should also be related to the type of business that you are offering. 2.3 The above are more important considerations, first. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sophia, Generally, for doors, there is no harm to leave it in the natural wood (brown colour). This is considered a neutral colour or element for doors. For a weak Water person ideal colour is either Metal (white/gold)or Water (Blue/Black/Gray). So if you truly want to paint colour then you should choose between the above colours. Whether a house is good or bad, depends a lot on the suitability of the house to the breadwinner as well as the general feng shui of the home. Often most problems are due to major leaks in the external factors of the house itself. So finding and fixing the leaks are essential to improve your overall luck. Knowing what are the leaks will …

Dear Sophia, From many of the current cases, usually the most common (neutral) element for the main entrance door is natural wood or wood stained in various colours e.g. pine, walnut, rosewood etc... In addition, doors that are also: white or off-white or cream or pastel shades of colours are considered acceptable and often a non-issue at all. For those who want to consider door colours such as "primary" colours (BRIGHT) i.e. Red, Blue, Green or Yellow could perhaps check the suitability, first. Otherwise, if natural / laminated wood or wood tone colours are used, do go ahead with it. In addition, if one is constructing a new home, could perhaps, use the Feng Shui r…

Dear Master Lee, Thank you very much for your reply. My house is Period 8facing W2. I understand that i cannot change the facing direction of the house by changingthe main door but would the following help to offset / minimise the unsuitability? i)main door currently in NW sector facing W and has the masterbedroom toilet above it. I plan tomove main door to W sector and face N so as to capture the m8 w8 stars and face one of our best directions.New doorposition would also no longer be under the masterbedroom toilet. ii)ensuring our sleeping and sitting directions are in our best direction. Looking forward to hear from you again. Best Wishes aulina

Dear Anon, Please goto this conference: Feng Shui Tips & Guidelines You can read the two articles found immediately when you first goto the above conference:- Part I - Facing direction of a home Part II - Facing direction of a home I hope these two articles will clearly help you to understand what is considered as the "mouth" of the home as used by Flying Star Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: I'm quite confused about how to identify the facing of my main door. Is it take the reading standing at the front door (still inside the house) facing out or standing in the centre of the house? If my balcony is a semicircle shape quite wide, does …

Dear Sanjay, 1. The main door, like the human body - is symbolic of the mouth. Since the mouth is an important organ, it is to Feng Shui, also an important area. 2. Often, from numerous past cases, if the main door is at one's death or disaster sector; this is considered as ONE leak. 3. This is akin to having a fractured arm even before moving into the home. And, if there are MORE leaks, then the probability of facing problems arise. For example, other major leaks are like: 1. toilet next to the main entrance. 2. a neighbour's pointed roof aimed at one's main door etc.... 4. As mentioned in previous messages, often, 1 leak is still mangeable. But usually, if there are mor…

Dear Anon, This is generally, a very common issue between two persons. The best way you go about matching two person's eight house is to apply the give and take approach. ie. Breadwinner should have the house extremely suitable to him. This way even if the bedroom is of a lesser auspicious, the breadwinner draw luck from the house. The breadwinner's spouse should then get the better bedroom to compensate from the lack in auspicious facing of the house. This will resolve most of the such conflicts. Especially, when what is good for one is bad for the other. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Sorry, can you clarify your message. For example, do you mean that your main door has say two panels. Some homes have 1 big door panel with a smaller side panel = 1 door and side panel. This panel is normally not opened all the time. If you have two equal doors, usually one door is not opened. If you have 1 big door panel with a smaller side panel, so long as the lamp post hits this smaller panel, (i.e. this smaller panel faces the lamp post directly) and your main door is "saved" from attack from the lamp post, then, this is fine or OK. As mentioned earlier, I had already listed most of the other common "cures" for the main door.

1. If the view from the main door is that of the staircase "flowing" downwards, this is inauspicious. As it is symbolic of wealth flowing our and downwards. But if the view is of an "upwards" staircase, this is still acceptable. 2. The most transparent "cure" is the use of grille gates "that have some reflective surface". For example, some people use stainless steel grille gates that have a reflective surface. Or plastic perspex sheet at the lower part of the grill gate (to block cats and dogs from coming in or going out of the house). As the same time, because of the reflective properties of the plastic (perspex) sheet, it acts like a mirror. This is provided that one's…
