Dear Anon, 1. In general (broad sense); Finance Services has to do with the Metal element. 2. This was because, Finance or Accounting was said to deal with "coins"; thus this is where it has an association with the metal element. 3. However, in the past, careers can be easily classifed. For example, a Merchant is a merchant. A butcher is a butcher. 4. But as most of us are aware, if one is a salaried worker or even working for one's self; there is a high element of "multi-skilling". 5. This is not because our "employer-tax-us-to-death" but because, now adays even a butcher may have to use a computer eg. order goods, surf the web etc... 6. A more accurate way is to look at…

Further to what I had mentioned: 1. The key success factor is always: Location, location, location, location and location. 2. Here, it suggests the "Big picture" more towards Macro Feng Shui i.e. the External environment, the Site, the Building. This is akin to top jobs such as CEO, CFO, Senior Management positions. 3. Often, when we zoom into a unit or apartment; this is like the troops: and can range from the equivalent of middle management positions to clerical. 4. If one has been in the army, the site, building befits positions like Generals, Colonels, Majors. 5. While the unit or apartment is similar to non commissioned officers ranging from Lance-corporals, corpora…

Dear Fely, 1. Several years back, I had elaborated on the 4 celestial creatures or simply the "Four Symbolic Animals". 2. In fact, there are several perspective at looking into the Concept of the Four Celestial Creatures or the Four Symbolic Animals. I shall use the short form as FSA (stands for Four Symbolic Animals.) 3. The First Perspective is of a "SYMBOLIC" nature. This is why; it is known as the Four Symbolic Animals. 4. In many societies; the saying goes: "A picture tells a thousand words". 5. What better way to understand a concept is via symbolism or a picture of: 5.1 The FRONTAGE Where possible, we should imagine that the frontage should have clear space. Much l…

Dear Aquino, 1. Grey represents "water element". 2. Usually a harmonious colour e.g. external walls that can blend with this "water element" is white. This is because under the Five elements concept: `Metal' supports `Water' element 3. This is why, if one looks carefully at the `colour' wheel chart; and most "normal" Interior designers IDs/architects will often recommend white walls with this grey colour. I don't mean therefore to say that some IDs or architects can be "abnormal". 4. But often on an asthetic level we often do not see earth tones such as yellow, cream or beige or even peach go with this type of grey colour. 5. More often the orange redish tile (fire elem…

Dear Annie, 1. Reference location map: http://www.streetdirectory.com.sg/map.jsp?x=28803.82&y=28968.79&level=7&postal=088879&star=1&xyfile=&oldX=28803.82&oldY=28968.79&heading=150+NEIL+ROAD%2C+BUKIT+PASOH+CONSERVATION+AREA+%28088879%29 2. Yes, in my opinion, the Cantonment entrance is better. 3. Nowadays, with air-conditioning, there is no issue with road noise. 4. Given that often, one cannot directly affect the external environment; from a Feng Shui perspective; the most Feng Shui can do here are: 4.1 Examine the main entrance facing - and harmonizing the signage to fit the `facing' direction of the unit. For example, the direction will b…

Dear Soli, Often, we can look at it from three perspectives: 1. Yin and Yang concept 2. How thick skin are you? 3. Human or Man Luck 1. Yin and Yang concept Often, because a plant is growing, it is considered as `more yang' than yin. And since, a bedroom is meant more for sleep (yin or rest); then, it is preferred not to have a live plant in the bedroom. 2. How thick skin are you? Looking at the above: i.e. placing a plant in the bedroom; some of us have no issue living in a `jungle' with lots of plants or trees. While others are very sensitive. Therefore, it does not automatically mean that we must never have plants in the bedroom. It depends: On how sensitive one is or …

Dear Chinnee, 1. Yes, the situation you face is considered as an external factor (out of one's control). 2. The key here is that since there is nothing much one can do based on the 4 good and 4 bad directions; we should thus avoid further `leaks' in the home. 3. This is much like human adapatability i.e. each of us have our weakness but, what matters most is to strenghten what we have left. In Feng Shui, it is the same. we should thus try to improve our OVERALL situation (perhaps) in other areas. And thus hopefully, increase our overall "examination marks". Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kris, Please see below:- 1. There is a difference seeing three light lamp posts. This is because, from a window, most of us could see several objects. 2. What is more important is to check to confirm whether: does it `slice' thru the window? 3. If do, the most effective method is "if it cannot be seen, it no longer becomes a threat" i.e. a simple day curtain (that allows light to come-in, yet, can screen out the view.) Or the use of a window blind. 4. THE FISH TANK 4.1 Under traditional Feng Shui, some Feng Shui practitioners advise on the placement of a fish tank at the window area. However, please note that it is best that the breadwinner or his/her spouse is n…

Dear Sanjay, 1. The main door, like the human body - is symbolic of the mouth. Since the mouth is an important organ, it is to Feng Shui, also an important area. 2. Often, from numerous past cases, if the main door is at one's death or disaster sector; this is considered as ONE leak. 3. This is akin to having a fractured arm even before moving into the home. And, if there are MORE leaks, then the probability of facing problems arise. For example, other major leaks are like: 1. toilet next to the main entrance. 2. a neighbour's pointed roof aimed at one's main door etc.... 4. As mentioned in previous messages, often, 1 leak is still mangeable. But usually, if there are mor…

Dear Edelyn, In my opinion, it is best to ask specific questions. As it is nearly impossible to reply to a very broad question such as yours. For example, under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, are there any `threat's to the home; things like location of toilet etc... As mentioned above, without constructive questions, there can-not be a constructive advice. Like Henry Ford had this to say: "You can have any car, so long as it is black". One has to go beyond saying that the car is black. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Under Flying Star Feng Shui, it is preferred to look at all 9 sectors or grids instead of just looking specifically at the main entrance. If there is a #3, #6 and #9 combination, at the main door, in general, #6 or big metal is able to neutralise #3. And, at this location, avoid futher fueling bad #3 (wood) by avoiding the colour green or plants at the main entrance. In addition, avoid the colour blue. (As under the Five Elements concept: water aids or fuel wood). Under Flying Star Feng Shui, each sector should be specifically looked into and balanced - based on similar facts/information. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Youqing, 1. Thank you for your sketch and clear description/details. 2. Based on Compass School Feng Shui, to me, it seems that it is unfavourable to have a pond at the location you had mentioned. 3. Given that you had shown the compass marking that the proposed pond is to be located somewhere at South-West. This is at the West/South-West sector which is at the `white tiger location'. 4. At the white tiger location, it is not advantages to have a pool as this could result in financial distress later on. 5. This is because, a pond your proposed kidney shaped facing the home looks much like a drooped or `sad' looking mouth. 6. Even if it is in the opposite direction…

Dear Jen, Since your main entrance area has #2 sickness #5 misfortune/sickness and #3 bad wood, try to avoid: 1. Too much earth elements e.g. yellow, cream or beige at the frontage area. 2. Avoid red colour also at this area (since fire - red colour may further fuel bad earth). 3. For #3, try also to avoid green colour at the frontage. 4. For one, it is ok to place 6 coins above the main door in a single row. Alternatively, see if you can instead place a wind chime outside of this area to help neutralise these three bad combinations. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Ba Zi and missing element

Dear Chin Teck, In my opinion, what you had mentioned, is often not the best approach. For example, if a person is missing water, it does not mean nor imply that this person should perhaps literally drink twice more water than the common person. Alternatively, if lacks earth, one must `eat' dirt all the time. Although the above is taken to the extreme, it does not mean that if one lacks metal, one must wear rings or chains etc... Worse still, one may easily get robbed! For a Chinese, it would be best if we can do something other than to `wear' something. The most logical method is to look at one's name and add such elements to the name. For example, if one lacks water and…

Dear Jonathan, 1. In my opinion, it is quite dangerous to practise such "Feng Shui". 2. For example, let me give you an example. Singapore is quite a small island. And if we drove a car at non-peak period, it takes less than 1 hour from Western Singapore to Eastern Singapore. And it takes only about 45 minutes to travel from North to South or vice versa. 3. If one checks several of the messages under this forum; there was a recent message asking whether since the person is a West group person, should he, stay in the West? 4. The question asked is what happens to his family if they are East group persons? It is bad enough for husband and wifes to sleep in separate bedrooms…

Dear Anon, 1. Feng Shui is not a `cure all'. 2. A sensible approach is that unless the home has significant good Feng Shui; and if the buyer is wise about Feng Shui, we can bring up good points on the `Feng Shui' of the home. 3. But be careful! This is a double edged sword! Sometimes, the buyer may ask: why you say the Feng Shui is so good yet, one is relocating? The best answer is that one is `upgrading'. Otherwise, it is hard to buy such a story. 4. We therefore refer any of the above as " Earth luck ". 5. On a `Heaven luck' point of view, the other situation is to look at good dates that suits us e.g. auspicious dates. But, again, this is quite limited, since, often w…

Dear Manuel, Can I check with you what is the concern you have about your bedroom door facing NE. Under Feng Shui, often, our main concern has to do with the `mouth' of the house i.e. the main entrance door. But as for the bedroom door, it should be looked at in a holistic way i.e. the entire bedroom inclusive of the windows, and shape of the room/attached toilet? etc.. And with this information, we can then better work out the best placement of the bed. Warmest Regards Cecil

Dear Sonali, 1. In the past, I had given an example of often; of how teachers advise their students to maximize their examnation marks. Or briefly the "exam technique". 2. For example, if we are going to take a comprehension exam paper. And we must answer 4 compulsory questions. If the total score = 100 percent then each question is 25 marks. 3. In many situations, we often hear students, only have time to answer 3 questions (some writing out of the point) and often, we did not answer the last question. 4. Many teachers would often advise their students, to allocate their time e.g. if the exam is a 2 hour paper, then spent 30 minutes equally answering each of the 4 compul…

Hello Master Cecil, My element is weak water and my girlfriend is weak wood. As my favourite element according to my ba zi is metal and hers is water, is there anyway that we can improve our relationship such that we can complement each other? As I'm running my own business, what can be done to take advantage of my Wealth element? Warm Regards, Sio Poh

Dear Surinder, In my opinion, your question is too general since you had only mentioned about your main door = NE. Perhaps, the most logical way is to see if you can apply both Shapes & Forms as well as Compass School Feng Shui to make sense of your current situation. Warmest Regards, Cecil Surinder Singh
