I was recently retrenched http://www.geomancy.net/wbimages/smiles/icon_cry.gif and have not been able to find a job. Is there anything I can do to improve my chances of employment? I belong to the Kua group of 4 and I live in a period 7 house NE1 facing. I cannot put any water elements in the house as my husband is of a strong water element.

Dear Robert, Per your suggestion, please find attached the layout of the house (both first floor and second floor)and a "bird's eye" view of the location of the house. 1) Please help me find the center of the house and define the sectors? 2) The West side of the house has a creek running nearby , separated by a road and beyond the creek are mountains. Please give comments / advise on the location of the house in relationship with the creek and mountains. The head of the house (male)has a fire element and I (female) have the water element. 3) As I mentioned to you, I have problems understanding how to define the facing of the house, using the compass. I would appreciate if…

Dear Carlos, Please see below:- In my opinion, in your case, it is best to First-fix-the leak! What you had described i.e. your bedroom falling between NE and E with potent inauspicious combinatins of NE = M5 W9 and E = M5 W9 B5 Are very inauspicious combinations. Where 5 is already bad but fueling it with W9 is equally bad. As mentioned in a similar reply to this type of question, today (forum message): Try to: 1. Avoid using particularly YELLOW (earth) and / or FIRE (Red, pink or purple) within this room. 2. If need to use constant metal e.g. outside the bedroom window with a wind chime or other constant metal or even a glass jar filled with salt /six coins - please…

Hello, I've built some wood planters for my deck to plant bamboo in. I'm trying to block some power lines from my view. I'd like to paint some chinese characters on the planter and was wondering if you have some advice on what to write. I have two planters with space to put three characters each on both the west and east sides, and one character on the north and south sides. Thank you, Tim Shore

Dear Mr Lee Thank you so much for your reply. Greatly appreciate your help. Emily free-advice Listmanager wrote: From: Cecil Lee Dear Emily, 1. Other than Yr3, (although bad wood - that is helpful, this time around), the other combinations of #5 x 2 fueled with M#9 fire is indeed - pretty bad. (Yes, very inauspicious). 2. The idea behind the neutralising of #5 is the use of constant metal. Thus, imagine this: a wind chime that does not make (constant) noise is as good as not having a wind chime at all. This is akin to swallowing a sugar coated pill with no good visible results. 3. With this potent combination of #5 x 2, one sure need to have pretty much constant metal to…

My right side of my bed is placed against a wall which has an electric stove behind. I'm aware that the energy created by the stove will have certain detrimental effects in the long run. How do I avoid this if that is the only available position for the bed (Able to view the entire room and best suited bed area with respect to my ming gua)?? Can I place a wind chime or crystal on the wall to separate the energies ?? Thanks in Advanced http://www.geomancy.net/wbimages/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Dear Regina, Frankly, between the two, and if this is a regular (room) and not a storeroom, than often, opening such a room to tother rooms to let in fresh air is often a more sensible approach. Unless we live in a space station, where we can simply seal up a room, than we could go ahead to lock up the room. Opening a room, by having doors opened all round a home would allow for constant fresh air to move or circulate within a home. In Feng Shui, the worst senarios are : suffocationg qi or stale qi especially from a normal room. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Gordy, Yes, I personally feel that your comments are appropriate. Try to see if anything can be done to remove the large tree trunk. The 50 metres distance is considered very close proximity plus since it is visible from your home, the best to see if it can be removed, ASAP. The other alternative is: "If it is if it cannot be seen, it is no longer a threat". Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear All, Further to what I had mentioned, sometimes, it is better to depend on modern inventions, than Feng Shui. Sample sites like these, lists cleaners and other health related items that can take away some of the #2 or #5 type of issues. Instead of hanging six-coins, go for these:- http://www.aircleaners.com/ http://www.airdelights.com/hepa.html "To modern inventions and GOOD HEALTH!" Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Heiddy, I can only say this "Life is short" so live it to the fullest. Frankly, reading too many books can: 1. bring fear or confusion 2. lead to auto-suggestion 3. worse still - self-fulfilling prophecy. I have actually elaborated on a simple example: 1. Many of us read books that say that our spirit wanders out of our body, sees itself in the mirror; and gets a shock! 2. But, wait! What happens if our spirit is the "extrovert" type. It wants to check itself in the mirror. If the hair is out of place, wants to comb, itself to look nice before, wandering off? 3. It is ridiculous senario to remove the TV set in the bedroom, if we have had it for most of our life! 4. S…

I've recently located to Sydney from Melbourne and am renting a 1BR apartment. It seems like I've been having a string of bad experiences happening. I just started looking at Feng Shui recently but it seems like everything about my place is bad for me. My kua number is 1 and my auspicious directions are SE, E, S and N. The floorplan of my apartment is kind of like a partitioned rectangle (I've attached a floor plan that I made). The toilet is in the SE (my Sheng Chi direction). I can't position my bed in any of my auspicious directions. I could put my bed in the SE, but i would be against the wall of the toilet and my bedroom's door would 'cut' into my bed.

Dear Joan, Frankly, it all boils down to "It depends". Or based on each situation. For those who had studied management principles, it is called " Situational approach". And this principle suggest that no two situations are alike. Thus, sometimes what we read, could be a general statement. Let us not forget that, as I had mentioned previously, more importantly, we should not only look at the four inner walls of a home but rather, the biggest influence is the environment. In many of my past messages, I had mentioned; that Shapes and Forms prevail: External vs internal, SWOT analysis i.e. S.W.O.T refers to Strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats to a specific locatio…

http://www.geomancy.net/wbimages/smiles/icon_cry.gif Hi I'm new to the group and have a few questions. The windows in my room face my auspicious direction (kua 8)W, but there is a balcony outside there, and the parking lot of the building beyond that. There is stuff on the balcony belonging to my roommates(clutter), but I covered the nearest stuff with an orange tarp. Also one end of my windows cuts into the SW relationship corner. My computer faces one of my inauspicous directions S, but it allows me to see the door, and lets me have my back to the wall. If I change it to a good direction (W, SW) my back will be away from the door. Which is better? The entrance to my …

Dear Sean, Frankly, although many of us would like to feel that we had consulted someone to give us advise on what type of fish to rear. But ultimately, often based on man-factors, it is much better for us to appreciate what fish we personally would like to rear. This is because, often, if we notice carefully, many who rear fish as a hobby - will last longer than those "told" to rear fishes. Perhaps, this is why, hobbists enjoy more, and appreciate more of fishes. And this has to do also with an element of man-luck factors. Rather than forced to do so. Warmest Regards, Cecil I also read Regards, Sean

Dear Christina, Please see below:- Yes, from a business perspective, this makes economic sense and being new, is equally attractive senario. There are 2 units Under Flying Star FS, the facing directions for NW1, NW2 and NW3 is particularly (good) proposition. While for SE sitting or facing is still pretty attractive. In my opinion, this unit may seem less attractive if (in particular, IF neighbouring roof-tops seems to slice or cut into the unit. But, this is correctable. In particular, as you have not mentioned how much "tinting" is on the windows, if the windows are well tinted, or looks like reflective glass from outside, this is often not a major issue. I…

Dear Alice, Yes, since #8 is considered as the water wealth position (under Period 8), and since there is a #8 at NE. And this COINCIDES with location like the living room, one can still activate a water feature at this sector. This is suppose to bring monetary wealth. And at mountain #8 plus the future wealth sector i.e. #9(and one can still activate a mountain star at this sector. This is suppose to activate the health luck or relationship luck.) For the year. Next year, however, this changes to another sector. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Prudence, Firstly, try to use a compass and determine the sector the bedroom is in. Reference: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm Next, try to draw an Eight House template to check to see if "death" or "disaster" falls in this bedroom. let him sleep further away from this room. If you know how to draw a Flying star chart, than do look out for #5 (misfortune/sickness) and #2 (sickness). Often, such stars in particular occuring in the 20 year Flying star or yearly flying star at a sector, would affect the household. Here, especially at the mouth of the house - i.e. the main entrance door area where possible do not have the #5 and/or #2. Warmsest Regards, Cecil P…

1. Please see attachments. 2. Under symbolism in Feng Shui; the house number 2B placed on the gate pillar symbolises UP. 2.1 While the house number 2B can actually be considered as "UP". But, because the number 2 is up and the next B is down; some may have doubts in it's placement.

Dear Mike, Frankly, in my opinion, don't be overly worried about this. This is because "our life is what we want to make of it!" In my opinion, the danger with reading too much of this can lead into two unhealthy situations: 1. Auto-suggestion If we tell a sheep it is "stupid" - it does not understand and will not be affected by our statement. But if we were to for example constantly tell a child i.e. he /she is really stupid, in time, the child may feel inferior and have such social issues. 2. Self-fulfilling prophercy If we do constantly think and act that way, it will indeed come true. Since we are on this earth for such a short-time, we should try to make the best use…

Dear Emily, 1. Is this home stayed-in for sometime already? Yes/No? 2. If Yes, 2.1 and if one has stayed in this house for a few years e.g. 2 or more years, than, it is best to draw TWO flying star charts: Chart 1 : facing direction - the balcony. Chart 2: facing direction - the whole stretch of the living room. 2.2 Try to check out each sector and in-particular the bedroom sectors to see if the flying star chart matches your current experience you have in your home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Master Cecil, Attached is the layout plan of the 2 story link house. I plotted the plan according to scale. All overhead beams are plotted. i find that there are missing corners, (if this is consider a missing corner). I have the center of the house but how to fit the grids since I have a missing corner? If I do have an open living hall which is huge, can it be considered 3 grids? Please verify if I have them correct. Thank you, Janice

Dear Raluka, 1. Frankly, I would not say that this is an "untold" secret. This is because there are varied interpretations as to the exact floor level. For example, you mentioned 1 to 5. While other practititoners may consider 6 to 8 or 9 floors. 2. Usually, the major consensus amongst practitioners is the term " the most light " coming into the apartment. 3. Here, often, if one has already stayed into a specific home for some time, some practitioners instead of "arguing" about this "untold" secret may instead draw TWO charts to compare which is more accurate. Here, action speaks louder than words. And this is a more productive way to "trouble-shoot" issues if any. 4. Oft…

Dear Earl, 1. Usually an apartment is unlike a landed property. Where at least is larger and much easier to analyse than a small tiny apartment. 2. For a small tiny apartment, one school of thought is to look at the entire building and determine the facing and sitting direction, here. This is especially more so since the entrance to an apartment can be at odd directions etc... In your case, if you cannot really determine the facing direction, than it is best to use the building's facing direction. As for your second question, it depends. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Frank, Please see below: Some Feng Shui schools recommend placing "yin" water at sectors that is out of balance and require "yin" water. Here, get a 1.5 litres plastic bottle, place 6 coins inside and fill it up with tap water. Here, again, it is used as a cure rather than as an enhancement. Frankly, between such "remedies" I would instead, prefer to invest in a Hepa air cleaner such as from Honeywell , Sharp etc... to help purify the air instead. Since, these are proven. Warmest Regards, Cecil
