Dear Kerrie, Frankly, I do not know where to begin advising you on concepts such as "fame" area. These are non-traditional FS practises. Neutral colours such as white or pastel white colours are best if one is not sure what colour to paint a wall. Alternatively, instead of speculating on what to paint the wall at the "fame" area - you could perhaps, make a choice based on your personal feelings or consulting family members on the colour. Where possible, in such an instance, do not be `taken' in by suggestions on how to `brighten' up the fame area... These are not proper FS theories ... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sophie, To be honest, even in the "east", Far East, when we set to do space clearing, we simply go ahead to clean-up the home. - The quick and easy method! I did not know that in the "west", for some, things sound so ..so.. complicated! Wow! In my opinion, more like hocus-pocus to me! Therefore, the quickest easy method is "JUST DO IT!" Cheers!

1. Statistically, even locally in my country, all landed property estates with semi-detached homes will have homes that mirror each other. Some homes with garage to the "right" and some with garage to the "left". 2. In my opinion, the comments by the building contractor is purely "kindergarten" type of Feng Shui. There are thousands - and - one more concerns that are more important than this. Some of them are listed in the link below:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Want_to_build_your_dream_home%3F 3. As we all know especially semi-detached homes, it is a set of two homes mirrored at the "centre". And locally, there are LOTS of such homes. 4. More importantly: Locatio…

Hi, The Eight House concept is based on year of birth, and the gua direction each have an element, so this concept that your gua is Earth is based on that. Whereas ba zi takes into consideration the day, month, year and time of birth. So this is significantly more accurate. The same can also be said for taking the year of birth of the ba zi element rather than the more accurate day of birth element based on the day itself. ie a year can be say Wood year, so by default a very simple analysis is Wood element, but even in the year there is a Water-Wood person, Earth-Wood person etc. That is why the ba zi true element is always taken as the most accurate form of an element as…

Dear Gary, Glad you enjoy our website http://www.geomancy.net/wbimages/smiles/icon_razz.gif 1. Under the water classic, when water can be seen flowing gently towards the house/office is generally auspicious. 2. If if water can be seen from the house/office flowing outwards, then it is no good. Then it is that it is a covered drain which can hide it. 3. If water flows out from the back it is also not good. This is all under the water classic concepts. 4. It depends. Your description is not clear so unable to comment here as I am unable to really visualise what you are describing. 5. This again depends. There are so many factors:- a. like how big or deep is th…

Dear Olivia, Anonymous wrote: What are your thoughts on monthly stars vs yearly stars, etc? The reason I ask is because another website states that for example, in the month of November, if you have a front door or office in the West sector,we should place a dragon or a metal wealth pot to enhance wealth/fame/recognition. Whereas, the #8 star is actuallyin the South sector this year.Can you explain this train of thought? I would questionhere onthe practical application of applying feng shuion a Monthly or even worstDaily application.

1. The idea is to find the "center of gravity" of a home. This "center of gravity" is one of the key success factors in drawing or drafting especially the Flying Star "pie chart" commonly used to analyse the "birth-chart" of a home. 2. For novices, if a house has too many indents or protrusions, then one may consider "cutting-out" the outline of the layout plan. And use paste this on to a card-board. Here, again the idea is to cut-out the outline of the home. And balancing a pin or nail to located the centrepoint. 3. IF POSSIBLE, the garage and backyard i.e. non-living areas should NORMALY be excluded. Again it depends on the layout plan as often part of the garage prot…

My dad's new home in a subdivision is located at a corner bent. Is this bad or good? What would be the best things to do to prevent the bad energy setting in before they would stay in the house? Thank you.

Dear Timothy, 1. The `concept' of having a bed facing one of a person's worst direction is considered of `secondary' importance or ranking. 2. What is more important are: 2.1 Proper position of the bed in terms of Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui. For example, when you open the bedroom door, where possible, the bed should be on the opposite wall. It is equally important to see if the bed does not share the same wall as a toilet. If it is facing a toilet e.g. the door of the toilet `looks' at the "head board" or the head part of the bed, a remedy is to place a side table and place a lamp on top of it. This side table with a lamp on is symbolic of a `partition' between t…

Dear Robert, For 1st timers, it is best to go for a `pie-chart' 8 wedges method instead of the grid. If the home is rectangular, than the 9 grid, can easier be applied to. Flying star chart can be used to analyse a singular room or an entire home. Since your purpose is to analyse your own home, than, it is suggested that you try to find the `centre' of gravity of your home. And from this centrepoint, align the north-south compass direction to the template. For example, you can review the resources for the Eight House Chart or Template: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm The metholody is quite similar to the Flying star chart. Warmest Regards, Cecil Regards.

Dear Sylvia, 1. It is good to understand the rationale of the East / West group (gua) persons. 2. There are many (many) people in the world where both partners may not be from the same group. And it is very common to find a situation such as yours. 3. In Feng Shui, it is best to use this East/West group or commonly known as Eight House theory to: 3.1 Find out how suitable a house is to the breadwinner. 3.2 Locations where one spent time at. Such as the bedroom. 3.3 Sit facing a good direction ie. placement of table or for studying. 4. Where it comes to element interpretation such as one's house is South therefore, one has a Fire element should be taken `lightly' as it is …

Dear Diane, Wow! Actually, it is not so simple as it seems. As, firstly the external environment of the home, also needs to be considered such as any open drains or canal outside, passing thru the home and other external factors. In addition, it is quite difficult to understand the "T" or is it proprotionate etc.. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Diane Price wrote: Could you please advise me on the purchase of a T shaped home? It has had an addition added to the middle of the back of the house. Thanks, Diane

Dear Tammie, It depends on the advice provided by various Feng Shui practitioners. 1. Usually, if the practitioner has `basic' Feng Shui knowledge and just because, under the Five Elements concept; he/she may consider or think that " 5 " is a nice number. In such a senario, this " type " of FS practitioner would advice that one place a 5 rod e.g. 5 hollow rod wind chime. 2. For a Feng Shui practitioner using Flying Star method to analyse the house, this "type" of FS practitioner would recommend the use of 6 hollow rod wind chime. Here, 6 represents `big metal'. And is used either as a `cure' or enhancement. 3. Therefore, you have to see why " type " of Feng Shui practitio…

Dear Anon, It is best for a toilet to have some qualities of `Yang'. For example, it should be (if can be bright - especially use tiles / porcelain bowl/accessories that are not too dark colored.) Where possible, it should be dry. Thus more Yang than yin. In the toilet, there is frankly, not much one can engergise it. Under the eight aspirations or life aspirations, SW = romance. This theory is too general to be of use to most of us. Reference material for yin and yang concept: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-yinyang.htm Under Feng Shui, other than applying Yin and Yang concept, the next proper way of applying enhancements or cures is thru the Five Elements…

1. In GENERAL, based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, such layout are often avoided as the unit is not as rectangular with triangles and points. 2. I happy to see that although the above is not as good; fortunately, all three bedrooms are rectangular in shape. And only the non-living areas such as kitchen / store are not rectangular. 3. To improve Feng Shui there are the common?factors to consider:- 3.1. Feng Shui Triage Proper trouble-shooting is required. 3.2. Fix-the-Leak, First! Easily three or more major problems. 3.3. The Concept of Maximizing Marks Hopefully from a FAIL to a PASS or better!

Dear Anon, 1. There is free report under www.geomancy-online.com where you can generate a free Comparision report which will provide you information of the `binding' element for both spouses. 2. For example, after the analysis, you get to know which element helps to bind a couple. Here, in the bedroom, one can e.g. paint the room/wall the colour to suits both parties. 3. In traditional FS, element strength is crucial in providing the correct binding element i.e. weak-weak; weak-strong; strong-strong; such combinations give different results. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kaushal, 1. Frankly, from my own personal experience, the use of Feng Shui and or Chinese beliefs would achieve mixed results. Usually, in this area, I believe, advancement in science would be a better hope. 2. In Chinese beliefs, when one get married, on the wedding day, a relative's son (not daughter) would be asked to roll on the couple's bed. The preference here is a boy and never a girl because the preference is for the couple to give birth to a boy to carry on the surname of the family. 3. My sincere belief, is that since most of the time, mixed results if not disappointing results make the use of `FS' or Chinese beliefs unreliable. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wasis, 1. A simple circular mirror, is the least obstrusive of all " Ba Gua " mirrors. 2. Normally a concave Ba Gua mirror is used against " poison arrows " or Sha Qi e.g. street lamps, lone tree slicing the main entrance door. 3. On the other hand, a convex Ba Gua mirror is (like all other Ba Gua mirror) another form of protection. Here, it is mostly used to protect the home occupants by bad qi energies or perceived bad energies. Usually, this type of Ba Gua mirror is based on the specific recommendation by a Feng Shui Master on the usage. Otherwise, one normally use either the " flat round mirror " i.e. the least offensive towards the neighbours to the more common…

Entering the Year it was built is 2004and no problem. Thank you for your attention. Regards, Kugathasan The apartment number analysis is based on level then unit number. Thus, you should be entering #18-05 for the analysis. The block isn't considered simply because it is not part of the apartment level analysis. Hope that helps.

Dear Leonor, In my opinion, since this house was built in the early 1990's usually, it should be a Period 7 chart unless, there were (especially) major renovations done on or after 2004. Warmest Regards, Cecil Norman Leonor wrote: I would like to know what period should i use to make the lu shou chart for the house we are renting.The washousebuilt sometime in the early 1990's, and that should beperiod 7, but we just moved here in 2005 last yearthe month of May and this would be period 8.

Dear Michael, 1. Please refer to a similar forum message under this conference " Free Advice ". 2. Forum message: " Placement of legal documents ". Recent message dated December 22, Year 2001. 3. In the above message to a user, I mentioned that, in Traditional Feng Shui, it is not the practise to place legal documents at (any specific) location or to apply "sector " Feng Shui or paying homage to a specific sector. 4. Usually, Flying Star Feng Shui is used in this situation to look at the issue: In most cases, there may be a eighty-one combination within a sector that may involve legal issues or entanglements. This should be neutralised. In particular either the base Flyin…

Dear KS, Please see below:- Yes, overall, it is considered not auspicious to have the Master Bedroom door facing another toilet door. Where possible close that toilet door when not in use. It is not ideal to have the bed sharing the same wall as a bathroom - especially if the toilet bowl is directly opposite the bed. Ref: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-under.htm This also applies to apartments. One conclusion here is that it is said that tiny water vapour or molecules emitted, may encourage baterial growth etc... If you have a layout, feel free to sketch (of the room in relation to the toilet / toilet areas / toilet bowl position / shower area -- an…

Dear Sophia, A better alternative is to place a red dot on the same spot of both door handles. Here, it is symbolic of "seeing eye-to-eye" with each other. This is often a preferred method than using cupboards to block the doors. As this can result in poor air-circulation or dead qi collected in the bedroom. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Pam, I really can't get a good look at the picture. Only could see a little bit of the roof, not even sure what colour of the roof. If blue/gray, not very ideal colour for roof. As it blue/gray represents water element, and in I-Ching water usually represents difficulty. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research
