Dear Sophia, The primary consideration in a kitchen is the placement of the stove. It should typically be oriented in a direction that is convenient for the spouse or the woman of the household. Regarding the kitchen sink, this is generally not a significant concern, and it is permissible for it to be positioned as you have indicated. Therefore, it is not essential to keep the toilet door closed even when it is not in use. You are correct in stating that excessive partitions or screens should be avoided in the home. Improperly placed partitions can disrupt the flow of the home, akin to a knife cutting through its various areas. For resident…

Dear David, Yesterday, I posted a reply to a question on house hunting i.e. a user is interested in a second floor or storey unit. From a Feng Shui point of view, one should consider if there are any "threats" if any to the unit. The threats could be simple things like a landscaped garden tall thin trees like palm tree(s),or a garden lamp post slicing into any of thebalcony, bedroom windows,bedroom balcony sliding windows. Therefore, the greatest threat would come from these and sometimes even walk-ways that has a shelter. Especially if the roofof the shelteror even a club-house roof - could sometimes slice lower floors. Therefore, the major threatscomesgenerally, fr…

Dear Alvin, It is no problem as we are corrresponding by e-mail and not on-site:) Please see reply below:- Yes, if you confirm that when you stand directly at your main entrance and there is a poison arrow `cutting' your main entrance, then, there is sha (poison arrow). Yes, my advice will be effective for your case. Alternatively, if the Management of your building could say install a `blind' on the window, then you do not need the `cure' as it will not affect you. Alternatively, if howeever, if " sun-x " or a `relective film' (on the side of the window facing the poison arrow (to reflect it `back') is used, you do not need the cure. If that particular locat…

Dear Kathelyne Feng Shui has many distinctive flavours: 1. Poison arrows 2. Commonsense approach to Feng Shui 1. Poison arrows These are issues that cause issues such as sharp corners etc... 2. Commonsense approach to Feng Shui What you had mentioned i.e. a bedroom above a kitchen has more to do with "commonsense". This is because,(usually) thereseems to be a higher probability of a fire starting in a kitchen then anywhere else. And because of this, some would thus feel that having abedroom above the kitchen not a good idea! However, frankly a fire can be started anywhere else in a home such as carelessly leaving behind a lighted cigarette butt or ash etc... 3. …

Dear Anon, Yes, in a global world, there are many practises in relating to "getting" rid of bad luck. Salt is used more widely in the west than the east or Far East. Although we use it to throw into used toilet when we get a re-sale home. So you are not wrong in coming down with using that practise of using salt. Here, in the Far East, our common way of "getting rid" of bad luck is also to get a bathe, first. And afterwards, (we already had prepared say a plastic basin/tub filled with local flowers and a few cut-up lime). So immediately after we had bathed (cleansed) ourselves, we would "flower bathe) by pouring this flower-lime-water onto our heads and let it flow …

1. Frankly, applying Numerology is a catch-22 situation. 2. There are so many various methods of Numerology and also some combined it with "phonetic" sound like... "4" Cantonese regard as death etc... 3. There are Chinese methods, Indian methods, and many other cultures also have their methods. 4. Thus, would you want to hear "50-50" of the time, some one telling you this number is BAD! Then later, hear from another it is good! 5. Under the holy trinity of (Chinese) luck:- 5.1 Heaven luck - what one is considered to be born with 5.2 Earth luck - the influence from staying in a home or working in an office. 5.3 Human luck - relationships, family bonding. Thus, the Ch…

Hi Sifu, We recently bought a new house in Melbourne Australia. Wanting to get everyone's thoughts about the plan layout and also the fengshui of the land in general. It's a mid century home and there is a beautiful quiet big park both in the backyard and also at the front of the house. The back of the house is north (a bit west) facing and the backyard gets amazing sun the whole day. Just wondering if there is anything we can do to further improve the fengshui. Happy to PM sifu more pictures of the house if need. Thanks! +++ Note: A Google map displaying the names of the streets has been shared. +++ Modified: A Google map fe…

Since you mentioned that it occurs when the year, month and base are equal to #6 x 3; in my opinion, I take it that it does not appear all the time. As due to time dimensions, especially the month can change and for the year, a year passes so fast. Thus time dimensions need to be taken into consideration, here. Another view point is that in other sectors; without the #5, but if there was the #9 e.g. As the water or mountain star, such combinations of #6 will instead kill or neutralize a good star number.

A "5" pian cai is very high. Pian Cai does not automatically only means "lottery" luck. It could also mean bonus, promotion and profit - luck!

Dear Anon, 1. This has more to do with beliefs than Feng Shui. 2. It would be a nice feeling for CEOs if they can symbolically be at one of the highest floors of a building especially if their company owns the entire building. 3. In some countries, well known politicians also have their offices close to the top floor. Some even have an escape hatch to a helicopter pad in the event of a terrorist attack. 4. Usually, nowadays the highest floors need not be an office but rather it could also be a restaurant or an auditorium. Warmest Regards, Cecil

These are some considerations: 1. Several factors should be considered regarding home design and plumbing. Primarily, it relates to common sense, which Feng Shui principles often reflect. 2. It is not uncommon for homes to have a toilet situated directly above a kitchen. 3. However, a significant concern arises when sewerage pipes are positioned directly above cooking areas or places where food and drinking water are prepared or stored. 4. The rationale is clear: if a sewerage pipe were to leak, gravity would facilitate the flow of contaminants. 5. In some cases, homeowners have no alternative but to have sewerage pipes located above their sto…

Dear Sherry, Sherry Shao-To wrote: A couple of years ago we heard some strange noises on the top of our roof above our master bedroom. At first we thought it could be mice, but realized they were birds. We figured they had built a nest up there and my husband wanted to get rid of it. Well, it's a two story house and even with a 10 ft. ladder, the roof was far from reach. Therefore, we just ignored it and eventually it went away. Well, this year the birds came back and made their home at the exact same placeon our roof above the master bedroom again. I can't see them because it's so high.So I'm curious does it have a meaning and are these birds good lu…

Dear Cecil, Note appended by Cecil: I have deleted the file: STREET MAP BEDOK RESERVOIR(1).GIF as it is captured from http://www.streetdirectory.com without Source & Credit to them (standard clause for educational purposes). I believe this site is quite "sticky" with their copyright maps. It is best to cut-paste the link to their website instead of saving their maps. We do not want to infringe on their copyright. My husband and I are interested in blk 10 of the project. There's a canal btw the unit and Bedok town park (pls see attached map). We can't tell what the facing is like due to the weird angle. Our 8 house report says that we should hv the front door facing we…

Dear Con, Actually, the greater "value" of a good Feng Shui apartment lies in the common saying: "Location, location, location". In fact, this is often the most critical key success in selecting a home or an apartment. From a "cultural" perspective; as you had mentioned, in particular, Cantonese (dialect) group do not like 4. But often, they do not like multiples of it e.g. 44 or 444. Otherwise, 104 (without looking) at the house no, seems often not a major issue. More importantly, bring along family members to the new apartment and ask for their comments on the location. This often is better. I personally feel that these are better key success-factors, than s…

Dear Paixao, Usually, this is what many Chinese do when they move into a new home:- 1. Select an auspicious date. If one is not sure of a date, the two dates that are considered always auspicious are the 1st Day of the Lunar Month and the 15th Day of the Lunar Month. This is where both dates are on a full moon. The most recent Vesak Day holiday or (Buddha's Birthday fall on the 15th day of Lunar Month). 2. Does one have an altar or worship any deity. If yes, bring the `deity' on the same day as the day, one is moving into the house. 3. On the day of move: 3.1. First bring in the charcoal stove (usually the stove is made of clay and either in red or wrapped in red.) Red…

Dear Mark, Under the Flying Star numbers 2 & 3 are not very good. 2 is normally misfortune and sickness. House number is not really widely practice because it is not really an accurate fortune telling tool. The reason some Feng Shui masters take that into account, is more for flats or high rise buildings. They believe that not every level will have the same feng shui even though the building has the same type of design layout for each level. Only under this circumstances will some Feng Shui master apply this theory giving it additional depth in the analysis. (So far from what I tried, it is need true more for high rise then low rise, for low rise it is not very useful…
