Dear Anon, 1. Can you confirm whether there are any `poison arrows' threatening your main entrance door. 2. I would normally not recommend using a Ba Gua without a proper reason for doing so. 3. Usually, it is common for the Ba Gua to be hung for the following reasons:- 3.1 To help ward off `sha qi' or poison arrows aimed at the main entrance. Best to stand at the main entrance looking out of the house. Look out for poison arrow(s) in the form of a pointed roof of a neighbour's home aimed at the main door or a lone lamp post which seemed to be `slicing' the main entrance or any windows of the room. 3.2 In the `East' it is usually used in conjuction with:- - Charms writte…

Dear Angela, Please see below:- Primarily, the Eight House Theory or the East-West Group should not be used to activate good luck sectors. It has more to do with: 1. How suitable the house is to the breadwinners ; 2. It has to do with the time spent at that particular sector. If you want a feng shui friendly method (without resorting to the use of ba gua mirror) then my suggestion is to use a semi-circular carpet radiating outwards of the main entrance door. Do take note of the following: What is the element of the beam? If it is mostly made of concrete, then, you should introduce the wood element. Thus, the carpet should be green. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Possible for a Block of flats. Here, especially the frontage of all units face a specific direction. 2. For a landed property, it depends: 2.1. If the neighbours are in-close proximity; say each is a small plot of land, your "south" frontage may be facing another plot's side-view. Here, if one is "unlucky", one may even get to face the toilets of the neighbour or even their backyard (some) with messy storage and hanging laundry. In addition, one will be in big-trouble, if the neigbhour's home roof is triangular shaped and have several of these "attacking" your "south" facing home. 2.2.Try to plot the Flying Star and take the opportunity to "activate" say the double …

1. Under the Eight House concept, try to check whehter your son is an East or West group. And depending on his being East or West; thus if he is an East group person, then in general the bedroom at south could be a better choice. 2. In addition, it is nice-to-have him facing a good direction when studying. Free reports are available, here http://www.geomancy.net/reports/reports.htm 3. Other considerations may include having just moved-in and perhaps, may take him sometime to adjust to his new home environment. 4. And yeah, the greatest distraction are: both TVs and playing computer games... These are the two "killers" in this modern age... that works against a child's…

Dear Betty, 1. For pictures associated with the ocean, so far, (in my opinion) the belief is not to have a picture of a stormy sea. Or to have a fish tank in the bedroom. 2. But in your case, it is my opnion that it is still perfectly acceptable to have an ocean theme in your bedroom i.e. to have shells and pictures (calm weather pictures). 3. Sometimes, in my opinion such books or authors cause unwarranted/unnecessary alarm to everyone especially if the information is "sketchy ". `Water' element would be particulary benificial to a person who is either : weak water or strong fire person. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Yang Ming, Under the Eight House Theory, there is really not much one can `cure' here. What you can do is to make sure that the `Shape and Form' Feng Shui is acceptable for you in your work area. For example, avoiding the desk facing a toilet or next to it. Or have people walking behind your table (if possible). Feng Shui is about trying to increase one's luck and if we `hit' a wall with regards to the above; we could perhaps try to increase other areas of our luck. Such as the luck in our home or personal self. Warmest Regards, Cecil Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Yes, what you had described seems OK. For example, when you stand outside the main door facing into the house, one should not see the dining table. In fact, my home faced this same situation as what you have mentioned:) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Frankly, yours is not the only situation where there is a `big difference' between your husband's Eight House and your own. 2. Majority of the time, half the battle is won if one has a good Shapes and Form Feng Shui of the home. In some cases, a good Shapes and Form is all that matter for a Quantum Leap in `LUCK'. 3. The Eight House has its limitations. It is also not used to compare one spouse with another spouse. 4. Proper comparison is by using Pillars of Destiny once each person's element and strenght is determine. 5. Even if the comparsion is unfavourable, it is again not "the end of the world". Here, once one know of one's proper Pillars of Destiny "ma…

Dear Anon, 1. Basically, a loupan should not be placed outside of a house or hung on the external wall. This is because if it is a real loupan, it may not withstand the prolonged weather condition. So far, I do not see anyone placing a real one let alone a replica piece. 2. Perhaps, maybe, the person advised you found that the First Heaven Sequence formation is found on it. This is why, you may have been advised to use it. Alternatively, perhaps, the person had heard that it can be used to `ward off evil'. Reference on the First Heaven Sequence formation:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-pakua.htm 3. For whatever reasons, a Ba Gua mirror would do the job more e…

Dear Patti, In Traditional Feng Shui, the emphasis is on: 1. Shapes and Form. Where the bed should be placed in a `natural' shapes and form position. 2. For example, against a wall and if possible, the bed should not be on the same wall as the bedroom door. 3. Where possible, the bed should not share the same wall as the toilet wall especially the toilet bowl. 4. Ideally, there should not be a toilet linked to the master bedroom at all. In the past, toilets are located `outside' of the house. 5. But for modern day convenience, this no longer holds true. 6. I believe, what you mentioned is based on the Eight Aspirations or Eight Associations/Life Apiration concept where …

Dear Anon, For the Chinese, in particular, when one is pregnant, one should not move one's bed. This is a taboo. More importantly, don't move your current bed especially before giving birth. Therefore, if possible, try to avoid moving any furniture (if any) inside your bedroom (master bedroom). As for other rooms or hallway furniture, for practical aspects, you should not participate in moving the furnitures. If possible, should there be a need for furniture to be moved at all, for yourself, try not to be around when they (it) the furniture are moved. We live in a practical world, and as mentioned earlier, don't touch your bedroom furniture... is good enough. Warmes…

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 Mac, There are two sides of the coin to this:- 1. Naturally from a Feng Shui point of view - under symbolism, it is not favourable to display animals such as wolves. In the Chinese history, wolves are not revered because these animals are considered as both cruel and greedy. In addition, a wolf-in-sheep's clothing is also considered as a lecter or sex-stalker. 2. However, in many other countries or customs, it is perfectly alright to have (in the past) rug skins. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wasis, Frankly, Feng Shui is not meant for curing such situations since there are external factors involved. It can only help in bed placement but this is less of a priority than other methods especially through science. If science cannot really help, some go for other alternative medicines (provided they are suitable e.g. some people bring to the patient animals such as a `friendly' dog or to some one known to the patient to talk to them. In some siutations, (most probably not for this case), some use acupunture. Warmest Regards, Cecil Regards, Wasis

Dear Jo Jo, Currently, I have clients that have changed to Period 8 with "mixed-results". For example, I met a business client and after having changed to Period 8 (NW3) and because their office premises can place a large water feature at water star #8 and in the MD's room, which is directly at that opposite back, with a mountain #8. The MD mentioned that after the renovations, his sales improved greatly and even a division that did not do well, had a great change. However, for another client, who is running a child-care centre from a private landed home, (a smaller place) did not make major changes, had not improved. Thus, generally, it is more important that …

Need some help. I have a few pots of cactus given by family members, but not sure where to place them in the house. Some people advise me not to place them at entrance, living room, kitchen and even bathroom. That means all these cactus have no place in a house at all. Master, have time please help to advise. Thank you

Dear Lisa, In general, (I really have to say this) because, one has to be physically present to analyse the site even though you have given some description of the site: Here are some guidelines:- 1. Is this site an existing burial site. If it is an existing, can you find out more if this site has ever being Feng Shuied before? 2. If the question above is Yes (it has been Feng Shuied before) than try to find out who actually Feng Shuied the site? We do not want the site to be said to be Feng Shuied but the result is it is " Feng Shuied " by people from the Black Hat Sect. 3. If it has been Feng Shui especially a Chinese Teochew Master, then usually you can be rest assured…

Dear Carmela, Most important where possible for bed position, is the general placement of the bed to the entire room itself. This should always take priority, followed by when possible suitable bed placement based on your eight house directions. Sometimes the shapes and form placement does not permit you to place your bed in your best direction. This is not as important for example, if at least the bedroom sector is located within one of your good directions (ie North - Excellent, but if the bedroom is North), then even if you sleep West (ie. Spook), this is not as bad as you already get the luck form the North sector of the house. In your case where two person have op…

Dear Mich, Honestly, to ways of looking at Feng Shui: Shapes and Forms and Compass School Feng Shui. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, few people would place a shower under the stairs. Perhaps, a toilet next to it is quite common. However, some of your questions can be commented under Shapes and Forms. But, truly either you should seek expert help or if you know Compass School Feng Shui, best to do a Flying Star chart to analyse especially locations for the dining area, toilet and even kitchen area. Otherwise, to answer your questions is like picking up a dice and rolling it on the table. Whatever comes up is the answer! Not so reliable rite? Warmest Regards, Cecil

I haveencased myfish tank ina partition wall between my living and dining room. This means SE of the living room and SW of dining room. Using the five element theory, water in SE is productive but not so if placed in the SW. Is that right? Please advise if I need to put a screen to 'close up" (visually) the fish tank in the dining room. Thank you very much.

Dear Irene, If you can provide or attach a simple sketch of the layout; it would help me greatly in understanding the layout of your office tables. Ideally, the table(s) should be against a wall; And it should not face directly a door (if possible). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Julie, Please see below:- In my opinion, this has to do more with `commonsense' approach than Feng Shui: Generally, a `solid' door is preferred as it is considered `theft' protection. A door with glass was considered good because it was felt that it could be broken in. Alternatively, especially in high-rise buildings, building code require e.g. escape doors to have minimum fire retardation of 1/2 an hour or more (depending on the door). Therefore, in my opinion, overall, it does not really mean that a door with glass panels is totally inauspicious. And in my opinion, can still be used without changing it. Many interior decorators recommend mirrors to reflect…
