Under Human or Man Luck factor, yes, it is always excellent to seek immediate family member's view. This often shifts the entire burden of "responsibility" to shared responsibility = consensus. Here, it not only put you personally at ease but also indirectly boost your Human or Man Luck factor. (Under the Holy Trinity of Luck: Heaven (born with) and Feng Shui (Earth luck of home and office). Another or last category of luck Human or Man Luck must never, never to overlooked. Some people, don't have great Heaven nor Feng Shui luck; but with strong Human or Man Luck; it can transcend over the other two type of luck.)

1. You can always obtain a Feng Shui ruler and use the good ruler measurements. Please note that most Feng Shui ruler has two columns. You should be using the top column (measurement) as this is meant for Yang Feng Shui or for the living. 2. Except for an altar, an altar needs to be most optimum by using the auspicious measurements that coincide with both the top and bottom measurements. Reference: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-ruler.htm 3. Alternatively, you can the mulitple of 17 inches for the door. Thus, the width could be 17 inches x 2 =34 inches. And the height of the door in multiples of 17 inches x ( ) = . 4. If one does a SEARCH in this forum…

Dear Anon, 1. Yes, the 2nd floor may affect the Feng Shui (below - ground floor) especially if the "two units" are not "identical in layout". For example, if a home is converted into a "duplex" or the layout of the above unit is not identical to the ground floor. 2. For example, we often find homes like a bungalow where things like the 2nd storey toilet may be just above our ground unit main entrance or sometimes it could be just above one's dining area. And for some Chinese who had placed an altar at the ground level; may also be affected if their altar is just directly below a toilet. 3. Otherwise, often, if both ground unit, 2nd stor…

Dear Marie, Usually, more importantly, the people who will missed one's loved one. And it is more of the love. Locally, it is a tradition, for some to even buy an altar (if the home does not have one) or not necessarily an altar but a specific table to place one' loved one (urn). And where possible:- 1. This should not be placed on the opposite wall of a toilet 2. If possible, the table (or generally we call it the altar table) should not be facing into a bedroom. Otherwise, a good location is around the living room / family room area. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Here are some of the major considerations:- 1. Avoid hanging the photo (portrait) sharing the same wall as the toilet. 2. Avoid hanging the portait facing the toilet. 3. Try not to have the photo facing the main door. 4. Try to avoid having the portrait facing the dining table. 5. Avoid placing the portait in any "persons" bedroom. 6. If it is placed in a study or an EMPTY bedroom, place it close to or next to the window. But make sure that the sun does not shine directly onto the portait. 7. Avoid hanging the portait at the "end" of the hallway. 8. Avoid hanging it sharing the same wall as the stove or facing a stove or facing kitchen utensils such as knifes, forks (s…

Dear Earl, Please see below:- 3. Nowadays, not many people can afford to make-to-measure furniture such as readily available tables (dining / living / study / work ) tops. 4. Again, many of us do not have the luxury of employing "an imperial carpenter" who in the past, have all the time to make-to-measure furniture. 5. Nowadays, frankly, it does not often matter if all or any of our common furniture need to be auspicious under the Feng Shui ruler or not. 6. However, for the Chinese, the most important furniture to look out is the altar (family altar or altar to place a god e.g. Goddness of Mercy etc..) Otherwise, it is less important issue especially if the fur…

IN SUMMARY "The laughing Buddha serves as a symbol of joy and positivity in home decor, offering a welcoming presence that contrasts with more serious figurines. Its versatility as a decorative item allows for placement in various settings without strict adherence to traditional rules." Master Cecil Lee, Geomancy.net +++ These are some considerations: 1. The laughing Buddha shares a similar theme as a pair of chubby well-endowed smiling lions found on the gate posts of some landed property homes. 2. Instead of a fierce looking chi-lin or qi-lin "guarding a home" 3. What this means is than especially for the owners of a home; coming hom…

Dear Anon, Please see below:- My advise is that if (one really wants to hang a windchime) it would be better to hang a 6 rod (hollow) wind chime instead of 5 rods wind chime. Symbolically 5 rods could invariably; represent "bad earth #5 element). A six rod windchime symbollically represents 6 metal or `Big metal'. You could hang the wind chime 1/2 feet away from the door. In my opinion, it would not be advisable to place an altar facing the main door. Or exactly facing the main door. The rationale is that it may be considered `disrespectful' as this may imply that the altar `gods' are tasked to look after the home. Much like a `security' guard. It would be advisab…

In my opinion, these are two considerations:- 1.1 Even under Flying Star Feng Shui, there is a base #8 at that sector. And under Period 8, #8 is the reigning number does help greaterly. 1.2. Chinese consider red as auspicious (at the altar). On 1.1 alone, in my opinion: "if it ain't broken don't - unfix it". I personally feel - leave it as it is ... no issue.

1. Frankly, the main concern is that of placing an altar with it's back sharing the toilet wall. 2. For example; this applies to both Chinese altars of various gods and even some Catholics who have a small "symbolic" altar. 3. Otherwise, any other concerns has more to do with personal feelings or personal sentiments: in your case a deep concern of placing family photos say on wall mounts. 4. Given the layout plan that you had provided; in-fact, there are many who had placed their dining table next to the toilet wall or sharing the wall -

In this worked SAMPLE illustration: 1. Take a look at Bedroom 2. 2. Since "Mum's" eight house chart shows Heath while "Dad's" chart shows "irritation" at SOUTH sector; 3. Thus in the illustration; it is preferred that if "mum and dad" occupies bedroom 2; "Mum" should sleep closer to the bedroom window while "Dad" sleeps closer to the bedroom door side. 4. This is one of the key areas the Eight House chart is used; for.

1. The concept, is similar to "If it ain't broken, don't fix it". 2. In addition, imagine that we have or had already invited a "deity" into say our home. And if we are not changing to a new home, it would be "impolite" to shift the god or worse, have anyone seen an altar on wheels? 3. Once we have settled the altar, (the first time we moved-in), best not to "unseat" or worse "distrub" them. 4. Thus the most powerful important thing is "unless we have a good reason" don't distrub your exisiting god or "deity". Unless in the first place, they were wrongly placed or posited. Such as placing the altar facing a toilet or sharing a toilet wall etc....

Dear Chee Foo, Please see below:- Since your flat is so high, you should take North as the facing direction. Frankly, for a standalone (landed property) home, it is much easier to fly over the new period. Since for the landed property, removing some of the roof-tiles and replacing them (plus cleaning the rest) would help. In my opinion, since we are just begining to change qi, it is better to do what is mentioned by you, perferably one or two months later rather than during this interim `cut-off' period. For an apartment, usually to play safe, one symbolic method is to paint the entire ceiling. This is symbolic of removing the roof of the "apartment". As lion danc…

Dear Annie, annie koh wrote: I would like to know the considerations to look into before I hang a family photo on the wall. Is it alright to hang it on a wall that faces the side of the Goddess of Mercy that I have on an altar and the photo also faces the storeroom? A family photo is a private and personal. It is often kept in your family album where possible. Even if you wish to blow up a picture to hang in your home, you also want to keep in private, so really the best location to place such family photo is in the privacy of your study room or even hall way for example. Small photos on table or desk etc is perfectly fine, but big photos that are hung say in the livin…

Apologies for the confusion. Yes, thanks for pointing out my typo error. It should correctly be : any odd numbers is Yang : 1,3, 5, 7. Thus I was too quick to type wrongly. Sorry for the confusion. Yin stars are even numbers: which should be 2, 4, 6, 8 etc... Cecil L. wrote: 5. Another type of Yin has to do with Flying Star numbers. For example Flying star numbers 1, 3, 5, 7 are yin stars and a high concentration of such stars on it's own is no issue. But if coupled by too yina sector or

Dear Anon, There is some truth in this. The rationale is because usually, at (high or higher levels) the statues will not "clash" with our normal living. A. "Salivating at what we eat or drink!" Most often many of us have limited wall space in a home. And it is very common to find the statues facing e.g. the dining table or the living room coffee-table. In such examples, placing the statues at low levels would imply that they could literally be "eyeing" what we eat or drink! And thus considered disrestpectful. In the above, two examples, thus placing the statues at a higher level would mean that they are usually above this line of sight, thus is a better choice given …

These are some of the considerations: 1. It also depends on culture and race. 2. For example, the traditional Chinese family, will never place an urn of a beloved dead family member in our home. The most we do is in it's place an ancestor tablet. 3. Of course, must discount some modern Chinese animal lovers who may keep their family pet's urn. Otherwise, we simply don't place an urn of dead family member(s) in our home. 4. Perhaps, you could follow some of the commonsense and practices: 4.1. We avoid placing the altar sharing the same wall as the toilet. 4.2. Often the best place for an altar is where it sits "…

Dear Anon, In a real world situation, lets be practical: in a human situation, there are two main parties involved: the Feng Shui practitioner and their clients. Thus, there will always be different situations: where a Feng Shui practitioner may either practise Feng Shui WITHOUT religion especially if the practitioner is a free-thinker or in the west, some practitioners some how or other may be e.g. a born Catholic or a taoist etc... Even if the practitioner is non "religious" but like you had mentioned, the client has a religion, a good Feng Shui practitioner has to provide advise to both non and religious clients. Especially if the clients "insists" or have an altar…
