Dear Cheryl, cheryl ludwig wrote: I am attempting to feng shui my office. The main door to the office building faces west. The entry door to my office is in the SE. Which one do I use as my main door when trying to calculate the main door in order to feng shui? If you plan to do the feng shui for the entire building, then you take the main door to the office building facing west. However, since you are doing the feng shui for your own office location only, then you should take the entry door to your office which is South-East. Hope that helps.

Thank you

Dear Susan, 1. Yes, the degree of `accuracy' depends on the depth in which Feng Shui is analysed. As you have mentioned, a person's analysis can be done at a general level e.g. by looking at his/her YEAR of birth. On the other hand, at a more specific level is to look further into the YEAR, MONTH, DAY and HOUR of birth. 2. Traditionally, Feng Shui at the `health' of the `property' such as the environment, the site, the land, the building. It looks at the inanimate objects. 3. What you are referring to is Pillars of Destiny or equally called Eight Characters, Ba Zi or Four Pillars. 4. The reason is because the foundation of Traditional Chinese method is the Five Elements …

Dear Bonnie, As this relates to the home, the Five Elements concept (in Traditional Feng Shui) has to be related to the Flying Star analysis. Where, each sector in the Flying Star analysis is looked at i.e. the interaction of the elements of the mountain star# + water star# + base number. The result of this interaction will determine whether there is any imbalances at the specific sector. What you mentioned is in my opinion very basic observations of the Five elements concept. In quite alot of replies, I do mentioned that because of the `bad' elements such as #5 misfortune and #2 sickness which are both earth elements and bad wood #3 are often found in the home in various…

Dear Slawek, 1. In my opinion, it would not be advisable to have a skylight at the centrepoint of the house. 2. If one really wants to do so, have to make sure that the top-down view of the house is exactly a square. And in place of the skylight, a court-yard would be a better alternative. Here, square is represented by the earth element and under geomancy it symbolises authority and justice. 3. (The difference between a court-yard is that it is opened as opposed to a skylight where it can be closed ). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sharon, Please see below:- In my opinion, in a small room although technically speaking one can still divide the room into 8 sectors but from my past experience, the influence of the 8 divisions is very small or minute. As compared with the eight sectors in a larger setting e.g. a full apartment. Already, the Eight House is not a greater `scorer' of marks. And in my opinion, such a sub-division adds to or has minimal effects. It is best to still keep the bed within good Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. Frankly and honestly, under Eight House, there is currently not much one can do to help in such a situation. Warmset 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…

This is a Snake Year and I am getting hammered financially. I am just wondering if I will be able to survive. Recently I just got a major source of money cut off by my boyfriend's son who was born in a Snake Year. It was dropped because my boyfriend who was born in a Tiger Year didn't think the son would do it. How bad is this Snake Year supposed to be for a Fire Boar (born 02/28/1947)?

Hi Theresa, Yes, that is correct. If you haven't yet move-in to the house, never bring in old furnitures. New furnitures that are delivered in before the move-in is ok. The moment you bring in old furnitures, that will symbolise that you have move in the house. Thus, move in your old furnitures only after you have selected your auspicious date to move in officially. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Chan, 1. For a house, it is important to understand that the `overriding' consideration before even considering `directions' is the Shapes and Form of the site and the home. 2. Many people like the orientation of a house i.e. from North to South i.e. the frontage is either N-S or S-N. 3. If you are using the Eight House theory: 3.1 Check how suitable are you (the breadwinner) to the house) i.e. the direction of the front door. If it is at your `death or disaster' sector then, this house is the least suitable house to you. 3.2 Next, find out what are the intangible force affecting both of you in the bedroom. Other than the above, and to `face' a good direction, the E…

Dear Allison, 1. Recently, I posted a painting with double 9 fishes. 2. For example, if one look closely at that particular painting, 2 x 9 set of fishes are facing each other. " 9 " represents or sounds like longevity. And thus is considered an auspicious number. 3. Yes, Chinese lanterns: some which you had mentioned either had four sides or there are four round lanterns X 2 on each side is equally acceptable. It would be best to use a `pair' or even numbers and it would not be good to add an extra `fish' unless it is a single piece of painting or drawing/art work. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wendy, Based on the Eight House or Eas/West Group of persons, it is always advantages to spent time at a good sector. For a chef, it would be nice if he can be located at a station that is suitable for him/her. However, here are some of the preferred options:- 1. Wherenever possible, the kitchen and stove should conform to Shapes and Form Feng Shui. 2. For a resturant, it would not be advantages for the kitchen to be cited at the North sector (water position). Where possible, the stove should not be along a North-East alignment. 3. Only after Para 1 is taken care of, and if the location is favourable to the chef, then this is fine. 4. It is `nice to have' him facing …

Dear Anon, Usually, if there is a gap between the two buildings, there would be as you had mentioned there can be Sha Qi. However, as your description is not too clear, I can't really provide advise:- 1. When u mentioned your relative's house, is it a landed property? Or an apartment with window or gap in the master bedroom or main door entrance or otherwise? 2. When you mentioned a gap of 50cm of two near by buidings, currently cannot visualise what are their position in relation to your relative's home. Perhaps, you can provide a sketch to this. 3. However, if one stands at the gap and find gushes of air `forced' thru this into your relatives' home, then this can be sha…

Dear Cecil.. I understand that there are many similar questions and probably that is why you ignored this request. Let me try and rephrase my question so that you know that I am not getting answers from other Qs etc. 1. As mentioned the T Jn faces the balcony and not the main door. Is it still a threat? 2. What all solutions exist for solving.. like earthern lamps; bagua mirror; planters/plants... will lighting two cormers of balcony with Electric lamps also solve? 3. The house in fact feels like it is in a chairman;s seat since the road ahead (The Road hitting my house) is lined by houses on both side NO POSITIVE EFFECT?? 4. Since there are houses on both sides th…

Dear Gary, 1. Please click the attachment for the "centrepoint" of the apartment and facing direction. 2. In order to Fly to Period 8, in addition to painting the ceiling, one also MUST have several (2 or more) celebrations in the home, also.

Can you please tell me whether we should rather start building our new house in January 2007 or March 2007? From the flying star perspective, any house built after 2004 will be a period 8 house. After that, you just need to find a good date that is auspicious to both.

Dear Kathleen, Yes, too much light e.g. from glass walls have a negative effect. As it creates too much `Yang energy'. Unlike normal walls that can absord some of the `yang energy'; too much glass relects and bounce light causing an unbalanced effect. Ideally, renovation should be done to correct this. If this is not possible, then plants can be used to counter or absorb some of it. But if the panels of glass covers a large area, more plants may be needed (and this may not be feasible). Alternatively, one may have to consider hanging posters or painting on each side of the wall to neutralise the dispersion of light. (The ideal situation is to renovation as mentioned earl…

Dear Yang Ming, 1. The most common cure for concrete beams is the use of a pair of bamboo flutes. You can view a picture illustration under the reference link below:- http://www.geomancy.net/mypictures/cgi-bin/mypictures.cgi?img=0&search=flute&cat=all&bool=phrase&x=7&y=12 (Simply click on the thumb-nail view for a larger view). 2. If one places a pair of flute on a beam, it can be placed on either side or one of the other side of the beam i.e. one pair of bamboo flute will do. This is onl for info: The only other option is the use of `false partition'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

We discovered that our children's bedrooms are in the Death sector.And one of these bedrooms' door is also facing the bathroom door. Is there anything that we can do about it? Eight House deals with suitability, there is unfortunately very little you can do to correct a suitability problem except:- 1. Move the child to another bedroom (if available) 2. At least ensure that the child is sleeping in the better direction (this can help offset some of the unsuitability to the room itself) 3.

Dear Elena, For such situations, it is good to keep in view the additional considerations for NE/SW. Other than this, if the main door favours a person at NE/SW, they can still look for such houses. The consideration here is to avoid, creating too yin an environment (if one does not use the Flying Star to analyse the house). If the Flying Star is used, check that there are not too much Yin influence. If so, try to correct the imbalance. Overall, there are practitioners who, found that the house does not match an owner and thus, if the main door, is at NE, they would advise their clients to tilt it to a good direction that favours the breadwinner. This is like killing two …

Dear James, Often, because water is good at the frontage of the house because of the concept of `clear space'. If we have water, nothing can be built above it. This is also symbolic of a bird flying freely at the front of the house. For many Feng Shui practitioners, they are worried about `opening' the white tiger's mouth (wrongly). For example, if the water position is at the West (which is the location of the white tiger); it is symbolic of an open (hungry) mouth of the tiger. Where it is ready to pounce and engulf `people'. Often, itmay lead to financial distress. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Ryan, 1. Priority should be given to placing the bed in a `good' Shapes and Form position: 1.1. Usually, the bed is against a solid wall 1.2. Preferably it should not be on the same wall as the bedroom entrance door. 1.3. It should not be on the same wall as the toilet. 2. The above are the more important considerations for placing the bed. 3. Only after one has considered the `Shapes and Form' of bed placement, then should one consider, sleeping in a good sector or having the head face a good direction and not the other way around. Warmest Regards, Cecil
