Dear Anon, 1. Some `Western Traditional' School of Feng Shui particularly those who practise Flying Star Theory have concern about the rotation of a metallic fan. To them, it circulates metal and their concern is that if a sector is out of balance and if metal is the catalyst, this is a `concern'. 2. In my opinion, looking at the commonsense approach to Feng Shui: Nowadays, many fans no longer have metal blades. And even if the blades are metallic does not mean that it generates `metal'. In view of the above, I personally feel that there should not be any cause for concern over the use of fans. I believe that they are a cheap and economical method of cooling a house. Th…

Hi Master Cecil, I have read quite extensively (on internet and on this forum) on position for wall clock but still have some doubts - e.g. I know it is inauspicious to put clock on top of a door but some sources say clock should NOT look inwards into bedroom while others say clock should NOT face a window etc. Can you see attached floor plan of my living room (windows facing north east direction) and let me know which position (in red) is the best to place a wall clock? A - behind dining table but may be looking inwards into the bedrooms B- beside altar but looking out to the windows C-beside a wall to kitchen Note - the position of alt…

Thanks for the quick reply master. Btw is it really necessary to bring the stove (guo huo lo)? If yes, can use the portable gas type? Is it necessary to pray to "Tu Di Gong"? 1. I was told to bring the huo lo (gas lo also can), then every household member cross over it and must not be empty handed. (if cannot be empty handed, then what must we bring exactly) 2. Once enter the house, on all the lights, aircon and fan. Open the window and boil water. 3. sorry if this sounds stupid, Must i bring my dog along for the moving in ritual since he's considered part of the family?

Dear Alice, However, it is best to have a full Feng Shui audit conducted before one knows exactly in what degree is it inauspicious. For example, the way the canal curves is a major consideration. If the canal curves and looks like a `sickle' slicing the house, this is inauspicious. It is difficult for me to fully advise you as one must be physically present to look at the `Shapes and Form' by doing an environmental scanning and using other tools and methods e.g. Flying Star, your suitability, the main entrance in relation to the breadwinner and many other considerations. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Yes, for practical reasons, the clue here is "my resale flat will only be available in Aug 09":- Under the following conditions:- 1. If possible an chuang should only be done once. Thus if you had an chuang in a "previous" home e.g. currently staying with parents or rental, then should not be done at your "new" resale flat, again. 2. If already, pregnant or has had a child with (the same husband). Generally, there are the two considerations.

Dear Anon, 1. Some FS practitioners consider it not as auspicious to have the kitchen next to the main entrance. But this is quite common in many new apartments and should not pose any problems especially if the stove position is located properly. The stove (or if it has side knobs) should normally face inwards. 2. For the toilet next to the main door, this is best avoided if one can. There is nothing much one can do here other than to keep the toilet airy and bright and close the door when not in use. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, This depends on a person's gender: Male or Female 2. If the person is a Male:- Then the House of Conception is to relate him and his relationship with his wife or spouse. 2. If the person is a Female:- The House of Conception relates to her child. Therefore, both `statements' are correct. It depends on either a person is Male or Female. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: My kitchen is located at M4-6-W3. Which is the best sector within the kitchen to locate the stove - East, North or South? In the selected sector, please advise where the knobs of the stove should be. Thanks. I can only give you some of these general guidelines as which is the best placement depends on the layout of the kitchen as well as the various people livingin the house (especially the person cooking for the family). 1. It is best to face the kitchen stove in the position that the person cooking most in the family will benefit from. This means that the direction should be best facing one of the 4 good directions of that person. If you a…

Regarding this you can use another theory called zi wei dou shu (Star Chart), some kind of Chinese Astrology. You will be able to generate a zi wei dou shu which you can use to predict luck (for gambling or whatsoever.) Yes, you can read up from books, but just remember that as far as possible look for those written by personal who had say training in Hong Kong and Taiwan. These book written by them will contain more accurate theories with regards to Feng Shui. Western books so far most of them, except those converted from these Hong Kong or Taiwan masters, have only general information. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Master Cecile Lee ; I come to stay in my house in 2005 and my house is Flat house (4m X 15m ) with 4 floors (1st Floor; 1st Additional Floor; 2nd Floor and 2nd Additional Floor) ; 1st & 2nd Floors are Full Floors i.e 4m X 15m and the additional Floors had 4m X 9m only. In 2015, we changed the Floor Tiles of 1st & 2nd Floors In 2020, we change the Floor Tiles of both Additional Floors. Please clarify did these renovations could change my house natal chart from Period 8 to period 9 or not? Thank you for your kind clarification. Sincerely yours

Dear Vincent, Indeed, I can verify the accuracy of Lillian Too's statement. A Feng Shui foot is equivalent to an imperial foot. By utilizing this precise measurement of 43 cm or roughly 17 inches as the diagonal of a square, we arrive at what Mathematicians refer to as the 'Magic or golden square'. The Feng Shui foot recurs every 43 cm [or 17 inches.] I previously penned a brief piece on this subject, accessible at the following link: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/ruler.htm I trust this information proves beneficial.

Hi, Please see below:- This is the same problem faced by many in Housing and Development Flats where part of the Kitchen is behind the altar. Due to lack of space, you can place it with the kitchen wall (behind) it. However, it should not be directly behind the kitchen STOVE. Frankly, what you mentioned is not Feng Shui but `superstitious' belief. Therefore, I try not to comment on such matters. Perhaps you can use your `sixth' sense i.e if you are happy with it... this is usually ok. Warmest Regards Cecil

1. Usually, some older folks would wrap (even number of coins) e.g. 20 cents in a red paper and placed it into the urn. 2. You may pour the contents (ash) into say a plastic "bin" and check to see if there was any previous "objects or items" such as the above. If so, you can still take it out and place it into your new urn. 3. Often, when changing urns, some would scoop some of the old ash into the new urn. 4. You may wrap up the old urn in a "used" clean newspaper and simply throw it away, afterwards.

Dear Darlene, 1. For the Chinese, there is what is known as ancestor worship. Here, a portrait of a loved one or a tablet (representing the loved one) and a incense or joss stick holder is placed on an altar. Usually, many of the houses have space constraints and the altar (ancestor worship) is placed in the living room or dinning room. 2. I believe, your situation is not the same as the above. But rather to keep the portraits. In your case, it is best to keep the portraits on a wall, in a `quiet room' such as the study room. Perhaps, you can also share with us have large are the portraits and if you have any other rooms that you have thought off. Alternatively, in the w…

Dear Lars, Thank you for bringing up an interesting question. I can understand your plight in wanting to try to apply the various FS theories. In previous forum messages, I tried to elaborate that priority should be given especially to the `Shapes and Forms' with regards to the location of the position of bed. Therefore, priority should be given to the `proper' placement of the bed. In your situation, although one's altar and mediation table is on opposite wall as the toilet; although it would be `nice' to change the location, but if it does adversely affect the `proper' positioning of the bed, do not do so. Leave the altar/mediation table as it is. Warmest Regards, Ceci…

Dear KC, Please see below:- For rearing of fishes, it would not be advisable for a person with the element " weak Fire element " as water can further extinguish a person with weak fire element. In addition, it is normally not advisable for a person with Strong water element to rear fish as it may further strengthen the strong water element. This may lead to e.g. sickness or competition at work for the party. This is OK. Other that what I mentioned earlier; you can place the fish tank next to a wall in your home. Since this is a smiling buddha, it is ok to place near the fish tank. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. It is Nice-to select a good date to perform the first-time open door procedure. 2. As this procedure applies to the breadwinners: usually Husban and wife; then, feel free to e-mail to: support@geomancy.net with Name / Gender / Date and Time of birth (western dates will do). If lunar dates, must make a comment/remarks. 3. Once I receive this, you can go and view the private link of the Combined auspicious dates and timing. Can advise you further; should that day of "inspection" is not auspicious or otherwise.

These are some of the considerations: 1. Besides the stove directly facing the kitchen entrance; does it face e.g. the main entrance door or a bedroom door? (It is also inauspicious if it faces an altar) 2. If the stove faces the kitchen entrance ONLY; and for practical reasons, one cannot relocate the stove; then; at least this is not as bad as above Para 1. 3. Thus, what could be worse especially with Para 1. 4. Frankly, for practical reasons, most of us don't always open and close the kitchen door on a daily basis. 5. Furthermore, in a proper Feng Shui audit, the ba zi of the female of the house is looked at in relation to the position of the stove. And sometimes reloc…

Further to what I had mentioned:- 1. The key success factor in an excellent or great home is: Location, location and location. 2. Thus, in the past has elaborated on illustrations of : "Quantum Leap" in Feng Shui and even cases of "Entrapped" homes. 3. Of course, if one is kinda of free to look into the interior; this is considered as "Nice-to-do" and not a "Must-do" situation. 4. In the past, I have elaborated on the example of a ship: just imagine one is on a leaking ship. Even if one pathe the entire home in gold; outside the four walls is crumbling... no use. 5. Thus, it is certainly (no quarrels) here; "nice-to" make all the "perfect" measurements inside a home but;…
