Dear Edmund, To bring "sanity" out of house hunting, it is best under such circumstances to: 1. First, try to find an apartment that has relatively good shapes and forms. Simple Shape and Forms clues include: 1.1 If possible, the view from the balcony is "unobstructed". 1.2 Where are the roads? If possible, the flat should not face the road (noisy) 1.3 Afternoon sun? (West) Are any of the bedrooms directly or partially facing into the West (afternoon sun)? Living room also? 2. Under the Flying Star Theory If one knows how to apply it, especially for a new apartment or one that will have an extensive renovation done; there are some homes that have better Flying S…

Dear Cecil, The windows are half-windows, meaning they start from waist level all the way to the ceiling. If this is the case, is there still a need for a low cabinet? Thanks!

Further to what I had mentioned earlier, to-date, I personally feel therefore that the color of a main door is not going to make any major difference. This is why, majority of doors are in wood tones or wood tone colors. What is more important is the external shapes and forms as well as Shapes and forms plus other factors other than simply the door color. This includes the number of steps etc... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, A horse-shore has more to do with western beliefs e.g. much like the rabbit foot than Feng Shui. Frankly, I have seen some persons hang it in an upside down U shape. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Joan, Frankly, if this is your home (not shared or rental), it is best to have clear space e.g. air-circulate around the room rather than have a portable screen (since this is the side of bed facing the door) and not one's leg facing the door. If you do feel uncomfortable, then in the evening, simply close the bedroom door. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear MK, In my opinion, the balcony is not the best place to place an altar - especially if it is subject to the elements (e.g. rain or direct sunlight). For plants, there is often no specific plant but rather, for indoor plants often, they should have "waxy" leaves and darker green colour. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Master Based on my date of birth, the 'West' sector favors me, i.e., West (prosperity), SW (longevity), NW (excellent), and NE (Health).

Dear Elena, If the main door is at the facing direction, you may consider tilting it to away from this double facing position. Otherwise, frankly, there is no way of "tilting" the entire facing direction -- just not possible, here. For some homes, or landed property, some even correct it by changing the "facing direction" i.e. relocating say the living or rooms with high activity... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Further to what I had mentioned, if the glass blocks are squarish or rectangular - piled together to form a "wall", this is OK. Do avoid circular glass blocks - much like the pothole of a ship or those found on a ship i.e. circular windows. Here, circle is considered not auspicious especially since it could symbolise a "sinking" ship. Where, the pothole of a ship seeps in water and thus sinks a ship. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Please advice which Life Aspiration, or Bagua direction I need to change/improve to help my family move to another state. What would you recommend? Do I need to balance my career sector, family, or mentors? I am stuck. I want my family to move to Florida - it is good for health, for relationship, for future, but probably not as good job wise, but still I need a good job there - so which part do I increase or balance? I am afraid that if I will improve career too much, I will get a better job offer here and we will stay in Illinois. Also, when I accent one area, let us say wealth, do I have to improve relationship area as well, or could it happen that it will be all work a…

Dear Glenetta, Frankly, as mentioned earlier, this has more to do with beliefs than Feng Shui. In my opinion, one could place the evelope perhaps at the same location where we often have a "central" focus or display or on a table. Sometimes, we could place it at convenient locations such as next to or close to the set of keys or the table where we place our wallet or set of car keys etc... I have never done this before -- i.e. the placement of a "wish" envelope, thus, perhaps, this could be the wrong place for such a question. To me, any place will do so long as the wind does not blow it away or a place where, it does not collect dust or placed into a location that aft…

Dear Anon, Under Feng Shui, there are several ways to go about it: 1. One's personal feelings. Often things like a small turtle or small water bowl, we often can place it at any location that we most likely, feel comfortable with. For plants, especially a single plant, we can still often, find a comfortable corner e.g. in the living / dining or around a corner of a home. But if one is growing a "jungle" or forest of plants or trees, it would be better to have them at the balcony or around the garden area of a landed property. For a singular fish tank, we can still place it often in a location for us to enjoy e.g. the living room. For a fountain, often, most likely, …

Dear Jen, From what you have written, there are basically two types of exit: 1. Entry/exits of "convenience" 2. an exit to fullfil a statutory requirement e.g. fire safety 1. Entry/exits of "convenience" ==================== As you have mentioned, often, many have a garage. And for ease of entry and exit to the garage an "exit" or entry door is located in this area towards the home. In addition, many homes do have a backdoor - to allow human activities at this location e.g. bringing out garbage, hanging or drying clothes etc... 2. an exit to fullfil a statutory requirement e.g. fire safety +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sometimes, an exit has to be built to …

Dear Glenetta, To be honest, this has more to do with beliefs than Feng Shui. Since the Chinese consider red as auspicious, usually, anything to do with red is favourable. For example, for us, the Hong Bao or red packet - which is a small red envelope is often given (with dollar notes e.g. $2 or $10) each. A sample of the red packet can be viewed under this link:- http://www.geomancy.net/mypictures/cgi-bin/mypictures.cgi?img=0&search=red+packet&cat=all&bool=and Often, the Chinese would buy red paper i.e. red on one side and white on the other side. They would write "lottery" numbers on this paper. If you want to you can do the same. Or if there is a pin…

Dear Anon, Since you are a strong wood person: Your best colour is Fire element (red, pink or purple). Your two other OK colours are earth and metal colours. Since you are a strong wood person: imagine that you are a strong tree (wood) and your roots has the ability to crush and anchor itself into the earth. Hence, earth is suppose to be your "wealth element". Therefore, your alternative best colour (in addition to red) belongs to the earth (yellow, cream or beige) colours. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Frankly, this is difficult to solve considering that it flows under your foundation. In the past, a pagoda was erected - to help reduce the effects. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi In order to create some unique design to my master bedroom, the ceiling was designed in the way that half of it waswith false ceiling. And next time my bed would be placed under it. From your advice, I understand that it's not favourable to place bed under beam but not sure for false ceiling. My mum was very unhappy over it & keep stressing that it's very bad.Attached is a photo of the design of the false ceiling in my bedroom. Hope that you could give some advice. Thanks & regard.

Hi, I am just learning about feng shui in the hopes of improving my life, but love life in particular. I seem to have many bad chi objects in the room like a tv, bookshelf and mirron facing my bed in different directs and have a computer and candles in my room. What can I do to neutralize the room to promote good chi? I have added rose quartzes, red candle and a pink crystal in my SW corner. Incidentally, that is where my bed is too. Help!! Thanks in advance! Elaine

Dear Ann, Frankly, in my opinion, I don't see any issue or problem using it. So long as, it should not be visible when one stands inside the home. This is because, symbolically, it is not good that we in our home see a "sha qi" or poison arrow. This is much like the concept: if we are to place e.g. a twin lion, it should preferably to plump (prosperous), smiling (harmonious) vs a fierce and ferocious item. Do try it and perhaps, do let know, later if it helps or not. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Zan, For many years now, usually, you should be able to purchase the 2005 Chinese alamanac during the Chinese 7th Lunar month. Since this is often the time, the publication comes out of Hong Kong to Singapore. (Usually, you should be able to buy this 2005 alamanac from middle of August 2004 onwards. And once it is out, you can easily buy it from any HDB neighbourhood incense shop). If you can wait until then, no issue. Alternatively, you can check out our Auspicious date service:- http://www.geomancy.net/products/po-dates/po-dates.htm Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Emily, Yes, especially if the home does not undergo any major renovations to change it to a new period, it would normally remain. Warmest Regards, Cecil
