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

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

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 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…

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…

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 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

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 Hoa, As mentioned, in the earlier message, it is best to provide the # numbers. For a fire cure, often, check to see if a sector has good natural lighting. This is the best solution. If not, check to see if the location does not have too much "dark" coloured items and the walls are kept bright. Or alternatively, is the lighting sufficient at this sector. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Hoa, Appreciate if you can include the actual MS # , WS # and base # with the Year #. This would help further understand the precise situation. Since there is often a difference in the mix of #5 or #2 vs other stars and whether in this equation is there a #9. Since #9 with #5 is a potent combination where #9 fire further fuels #5 bad earth etc... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Janice, Please see below:- Yes, this is often good enough to fly to the next period. But we need to understand that at such an early stage i.e. where Period 7 has just slowly wane-down and Period 8 is still "climbing", it may still take at least up to 2005 to see an effect of such a change. Yes, your current strategy is considered sound, since I believe, this is what most practitioners would advise their clients to do (less the idea of having to do a major renovation). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anne, Often, in such a case, there are various options: 1. To check for any external threats to the main door, and all round windows of the home for any visible threats. Such as a lone lamp-post slicing into the home etc.. 2. Fix-any-leaks If the home has leaks, it is best to fix any OTHER leaks in a home. 3. Enhancements Try to use the Eight House / Flying Star to improve on the interior of the home in relation to good Shapes and Forms. (If this sounds GREEK, than, one may need professional help. Otherwise, one could D.I.Y.). I have previously mentioned that Feng Shui is much like one taking a comprehension examination. For example, if one is is required to answer …

Dear Anon, Frankly, there is no harm in doing so. Whether it works or not is another issue. As for painting the interior side of the door, perhaps can be quite ugly. For the mirror on the outside door, this seems better than the "red interior door colour". Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kian Watt, For the Feng Shui ruler, the upper markings are for Yang Feng Shui or Feng Shui for the living. The lower markings or the second level or on some rulers the bottom readings are for the dead (Yin Feng Shui). Frankly, there is often no issue with the need for an exact dimension for a painting. More importantly, if it looks nice and appeals to our "man-luck-factor" or "feel good factor, this will be good enough!

Correction: No (2) question should have read 5,1,7 (mountain, base, water) instead of 5,7,7. BTW, is it bad to locate a bedroom in this sector? as the 7 metal controls the bad 5 earth or do I still need to add metal. Apologies for any inconvenience. Awaiting your advice. Keith C

Dear Joan, The clue here is that both Eight House and Flying Star Feng Shui are compass school Feng Shui - specific to a home/location. Thus, between Eight House vs Ba Zi, it is often, better to consider more from a Eight House point of view, than the ba zi. However, if one uses the Ba Zi point of view, than, one should consider it in general i.e. the main entrance. For example, what is one's element and strength? If say one is a strong water person. Than, a south facing house is considered auspicious e.g. Strong Water destroys Fire (south). Thus is considered a good home for the breadwinner. Thus, when we use the ba zi analysis, do try to see if one is weak or strong v…

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 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 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 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 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
