Dear Rich, In my view, it is generally advisable to refrain from applying the concepts of the Eight Aspirations or Life associations, such as SW equating to the romance sector, etc. Moreover, if the toilet happens to obstruct our romantic endeavors, it signifies a definitive end; we are indeed in a precarious situation! Let us consider an alternative viewpoint. Frequently, the toilet transcends the mere notion of the "THRONE" or the WC, which I refer to as the equivalent of the toilet bowl. In reality, numerous master bathrooms not only feature showers but some even include jacuzzis and bathtubs! Envision this! I firmly believe that in this world,…

Dear Anon, Basically Feng Shui is about maximising all area. Toilet in Center of the house is one factor in the analysis. Though, this isn't considered the best house to have, but as long as you fix up and improve all other luck areas, you can thus offset this inauspicious influence. Frankly, there is usually no way you can change the room into another room due to the way the pipes are laid. This is especially so for an apartment.Frankly, there is very little cures except to improve other areas of your luck. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Rich, For apartment above high floor, it is common that you should take the frontage of your home based on where most light comes into the house. This is often the living room balcony. So stand at your balcony and measure the compass direction and whatever that results. That is where your house frontage will be. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Peter, Can you let me know the Flying Star direction. As some directions can truly consider changing period, while others are not favourable or have to check out whether it can be effective e.g. where is the living room vs the star numbers, centrepoint etc... Alternatively, if you know how to analyse, whether Period 8 is better - then this is the way to go about it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anooja, Under this current Period 8: 1. Past prosperity sectors are WS:7 and/or MS:7 This is already considered as past prosperity and not worth activating unless there is a double 7 (which in this case, a water position can be used to drown it). 2. Present prosperity sectors are now WS:8 and/or MS:8 If the sector meets the conditions e.g. if there is clear space such as in a living room and if this location has WS:8, then water can be used to activated wealth here. Similiarly check to see if a mountain star can be activated at section with MS:8 3. Future prosperity Since we are under Period 8, we should not forget about #9 since #9 is known as the future pro…

Dear Emily, In my opinion, instead of going-head-on at looking at ways to neutralise this bad stars, it is good to check (long-term)whether your home can or cannot benefit from "flying" to Period 8. In particular what are the stars in the bedroom. Is it much better in Period 8 or the same? For this room, in particular, try to avoid having too much earth tones or in particular avoid Yellow. Since earth can further fuel metal (#7 x2). Although #3 is not so favourable, but given that metal destroys wood (#3), it is a blessing in disguise. For the bedroom, the best element or colour scheme would be the water element e.g. blue, black or grey. This is the best element, her…

Dear Phua, Yes, in Singapore, anyone especially middle management staff who are also over 40+ often have difficulty finding another jobhttp://www.geomancy.net/wbimages/smiles/icon_sad.gif For the time being, unless you really have another alternative, have no choice but to "REN" or be patient! What is worse-off is without a proper job. Look at it this way, everyone will have to grow old someday and these people who treat the "elderly" will no doubt share the same or even worse fate! When the tough gets going, you simply have to gain courage or even get support from close ones especially family members! But most of all, don't despair! Do your best! Take care! Warmest Rega…

Dear Phua, Please see below: Frankly, I personally feel that plants are ok. I feel that this is kind of a hearsay information. Since miniature bamboo is very popular today: very easy to maintain or nearly no maintenance at all - since it can strive on just a layer of water - easy to fill the container. Look at it this way, cactus have torns so even more "pointed" than this tiny plant. If you are simply looking at it from a Shapes and Forms perspective, than often, it should be placed in the living room - "to be enjoyed". For Flying Star Feng Shui sectors that has water star #8 *current wealth sector* or water star #6 (metal sector) or water star #7 (neutralising t…

Dear Mui Ing, Frankly, although, this may sound uncomfortable, it is not as "bad" as compared to a toilet e.g. toilet bowl on the same wall as the bed-head. This is because, a water position is much like this article: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-under.htm Where the invisible vapours of water could cause cancer. However, for a stove, the only main issue(s) are: 1. If one forgot to switch off the gas. It can affect any room in the whole house. 2. Other than this, usually there is often not a major issue of a stove "affecting" the other side. Since, we do not cook at night and a reasonable thick wall. Frankly, therefore, I do not see it as a major direct threat…

Dear Nicole, 1. Kitchen at the south compass direction. If the kitchen is located at the compass direction -> south; this is the location of fire. Given this situation, there is no issue with a stove facing a water position. However, if the kitchen is located at the north, where north is the water sector, than, it would not be advantages, to have a stove facing the water position. 2. Facing direction of the stove Since, the kitchen is suppose to be the "woman's domain". Nowadays, it can also be the "house-man" or house husband. But traditionally, since this is the wife's domain, it is best that the stove faces the direction that is suitable for the wife. 3. Use of Mirr…

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…
