Dear Jen, Please don't get too unduly worried about this. There are so many theories in Feng Shui. One reference point has to do with these: 1. Spirits - are (were) said to travel in a straight line. The thought is (was) that they cannot negotiate turnings. This is the rationale why, many bridges have curves or even some Feng Shui practitioners ask their clients to tilt their door at the NE. 2. Clue: The idea came about because: NE is suppose to be the location where spirits or ghosts come into our world i.e. the devil's gate. And it would be so convenient; (to enter our homes) if our main door happens to be the first door they see. BTW, they are said to be able to go thr…

Dear Matilde, Attached please find a common "new home blessing ceremony". But it is based on several Chinese customs. And, please note that quite alot of items mentioned are specific to the Chinese community. However, symbolism plays an important part in our (Chinese) culture. The most simpliest forms of `blessings' has to do with showering "wealth" into our homes. For example, simple situations could include: 1. For the Chinese sprinkle (raw) rice all around the home. Here, it is like showering wealth into the home. 2. Some Chinese sprinkle (raw) green beans also. This also symbolise sowing seeds into the home e.g. having children. Where the green beans: green symbolise …

Dear Sir, I'm looking at building a new house (two storey) on a leveled block of land. Since I'm building new, I thought I'll use Fung Shui to improve my life and most importantly my family. Mind you I've never use Fung Shui before. Can you please provide some good Fung Shui tips in the Plan drawing phase in general such as what room should be place in which direction and which direction a particular room shouldn't be facing. I have a few queries. Firstly, if we have the front entrance (main door) into the house and then have a straight hall way directing to the back of the house which means you can see and walk straight to the back from the main door. Is this consider ba…

Dear Cecil, Thank you for your explanation. I did take up your flying star correspondence course. But, I still have much to learn. Is there any difference between wealth lock houses & flying stars loosing its auspicious effects after 20-40 years? Thank you again. Regards Wincash

Dear Cecil and Forum Members You may recall, on 28 July I posted a question regarding my sinus/post nasal drip problem which I have had since October 2002. Cecil suggested I move my bed away from the window. I did this last Monday. I also ceased taking my homeopathics that day to see what would occur. Within 24 hours 98% of the mucous in my sinuses had dried up and I now rarely cough at night time or in the mornings. The difference is quite staggering actually. My husband now gets a good nights sleep, rather than being wakened up by me coughing my head off. He of course is thrilled to bits ! I was sleeping on the favourable mountain star #7, but as Cecil always says, shap…

yap,ok..now i understand more of the 'white fengshui'. but i still have some things that i dont really understand about hyatt. 1. i notice that the ceiling at the lobby of hyatt hotel lobby is of many 'pyramid' shape, is it design in such a way that it is 'fengshuied'?any reason for being in that shape? 2. there are a few circular items in the hotel lobby like the spiral staircase, the flower pot in the middle of the lobby, the siting area which is infront of the staircase. are all these consider as 'metal' elements?(because you had mentioned before that hyatt is using the combination of 3 elements.) 3.i also noticed that the whole lobby area is actually with timber strip…

In our country, it is usual to have maid or housekeeper who live together with the family. What kind of considerations need to think for his/her bedroom and toilet? Could we just not consider at all like garage or other service area? Thanks for any response

Dear Mr Cecil Lee, I would like to ask you a question regarding my suitable business type. I was born on the 4th of October 1979, at 4 am. Generated from the Ba Zi report, my element is wood. Does that mean that my suitable line of business should involve the water element? Please give some examples... Thank you very much. Regards Steph

Note: Yes, Spencer; please do use the 8 sector measurement for Yang (for the living). As mentioned earlier, this has been used as early as the Sung Imperial carpenters to built furniture/doors etc... for their emperors. Cecil Hi Cecil Thank you so much for a very informative session. I have came across two other writers who mentioned that the 8 sectors measurement being used for all measurements. Nothing was distinguished between Yin and Yang measurements or 8 or 10 sector measurements. So that makes 3 of you. Then i came to another writer who stated that the 8 sectors are meant for external measurements such as fences, gates (not tombs). And the 10 sector measurements a…

Dear Spencer, 1. Yes, I totally agree with your comments. 2. When Dahlia Park TOP, the condo was like a second home as I had clients in nearly all the blocks. 3. What strikes me was that even if these are condos, as you had mentioned, they are firstly freehold; 4. In an exclusive private residential area with both low rise and even all condos in the area has a height restriction or often called `semi-low' rise condo apartments. Most likely because of airport restrictions on the outer-zone. 5. I always felt peaceful, within this private residential encave. Nowadays, it could even be worse-off is to stay close to embassies especially the American or British as often these …

Dear Jennifer, Palm Grove Condominium Both Palm Haven and Palm Grove share the same developer: CapitaLand. Both are 999 year leases. Palm Haven's lease started from 1/9/1876. While Palm Haven's has a better advantage since it started from 1999. Currently, this area only allows for low rise residential estate. Therefore, both Palm Haven and Palm Grove have low rise units. Each development at 4 storey high. Besides consideration such as the remaining lease time-limit and psf; in terms of external Feng Shui, the smaller development (Palm Haven with 48 units as oppose to 111 units for Palm Grove) has better shapes and forms. If one notice the attached site plan for Palm Haven…

Dear George, 1. In my opinion, we must be very practical in our lifes. 2. Under symbolism in Feng Shui, the closest to "auspicious" house number is as shown in the sample attachment. 3. Look at it this way: A house is not like a car in most parts of the world. This is because, how often, can we change our house numbers vs how often can we change cars and car plate? 4. Often, when we purchase a house, we are literally stuck with the naming convention of that specific street or avenue. 5. Even under numerology, there are so many ideas of what is or is'nt auspicious. The saying goes: "One man's meat is another man's poison". Even in the west, some people are supersitious w…

Dear Glyn, Please send my regards to Phil and all your lovely children:) Yeah, I can understand what you mean:) Nowadays, a voice amplifier or *joke* perhaps, do get yourself a CD of the sound of waves. I have seen such CDs around selling in some shops. For sure, do try out those CDs with gentle sea waves. Avoid getting those that sound like the force of a Tsusami wave... swoosh.. erh... which might literally sweep one off one's feet. Do take care! And hope you recover from your sinus! Erh..perhaps? *JOKE* When young.... when you were in your mum's womb; perhaps, your well developed ears felt comfortable, just maybe, she heard that playing sounds was good for you:) An…

Dear Jane, Frankly, looking at most of the messages in this forum, I have this to say: "Gua or Kua is not a cure-all". Often, I find users quoting their Gua numbers and expect miracles to happen. Or totally disappointed that it cannot do much. I have often elaborated to apply the three-step approach: Step 1: What is the PURPOSE of each concept? Step 2: What is it's strengths? Step 3: What is it's weakness? There are two senarios: 1. Either the family has nothing better to do than to complaint or 2. Under Flying Star Feng Shui, most probably; they have #3 or #4 at the main door etc... Here, there is relatively not much one can do `to be placed' at their home. Other than if…

dear Anon, 1. Yes, I strongly believe that good authors often state facts. 2. Even if our homes is miles away from the sea; we are literally affected by daily high/low pressures. 3. Even the idea of full moon i.e. our moon is many thousands of mile high; yet, there were documented cases of people's mood affected by the magnetic force of the moon. We can literally see high/low tides based on the moon's gravitational pull. 4. Even the Grand Duke theory is based on the planet Jupiter .. which is said to be the biggest planet and thus have a `magnetic' influence on our planet earth. 5. Thus, one must never, never discount: Macro Feng Shui. 6. Yet, time and time again, we…

Dear Judy, 1. The clue here is to look at the human make-up: "We have our head and feet." 2. One simple example is, when most of us sleep we sleep in a `near' horizontal position. Here, all humans have a head. And our actual head should face the best direction. 3. Our feet should point to the opposite direction. 4. Ambulance Evacuation and the taboo: To give another example: Even for Chinese; who are very sick; recently, I encountered an experienced ambulance attendant who has advised family members of the sick that whenever; an emergency evacuation is made; "head, first". 5. When lying down, often, we want our head to be the `first' to be closer to the auspicioius direct…

Dear Geok Tin, 1. An office environment is different from a home. 2. Unless; one is the CEO or senior positions or do not have a personal room; frankly, there is very little one can do to or next to impossible to change the working desk direction. 3. Nowadays, many office use system furniture and it is next to impossible to tilt or change it's direction. 4. Honestly, you would have to depend more on "Human Luck". Nowadays, I do understand that many of us have `low morale' and tend to worry about things like restructing or retrenchments. 5. However, look at it this way: the more we worry, the more, we get into a vicious cycle of such thoughts. 6. In my opinion, "nervousnes…

Dear Daria, Please see the attachment. I used Smart Draw software to give a simple illustration: 1. Please see a sample `North' marking. It may not be exactly true North. But this is merely a sample. 2. I had placed a True compass direction's grid on the `centre-of-gravity' of the layout plan. This method is known as the True compass `pie-chart' method. Another method is to properly mark out the `zones' for each compass direction. Much like the sample `zone' shown in PURPLE for the North compass direction. Each compass zone can also follow this type of marking or zone. 3. Highlighted in yellow is considered as a missing corner. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Lana, In my opinion, it is best that you dispel with "Feng Shui" for the time being. Let me elaborate.... If one is currently facing financial problems; the worst senario is to depend on the `type' of Feng Shui that you are practising. The majority of what you are practising is: the wrong type of Human/Man Luck. I understand many of us want to feel comfort by placing things in our homes, just because we read that it "might work". We can draw a parallel to some people who when faced with difficulties "drown" themselves with food. Placing figurines etc.. does not work! In fact, if we look at it carefully, all the best human luck is/are Free! I often mentioned that we …

Dear Glyn, 1. Frankly, based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui it is not advisable to place a bed next to the window(s): 1.1 Often, the window next to where one person sleeps could be closed. Or if open, can bring `drafts' of air to those sleeping close to the window. 1.2 A better Shapes and Form arrangement is as shown under the attachment. 1.3 Here, the bed has a back support and away from the `elements' (window). Since, you had also mentioned that there is no toilet at this location. 1.4 Is the bedroom door at the middle or at the side. This is not a main issue unless one sleeps with the legs facing the bedroom door (in this situation, it is akin to bringing out the coffin…

Dear Yew Hui, Please see below:- I strongly believe that Feng Shui is not only just the interior but equally or more important is the external Shapes and Forms. 2. Even if we are looking at the interior,we should also look at the layout plan. For example, safe shapes are layout plans that are rectangular in shape. Look out for the toilet locations etc.. Here, if one wants like to trickle in, a simple day curtain or even using sun-ex films can be used; such as an opaque film. Where possible try to find out what is the rationalefor theprevous owner selling their unit (if possible). Warmest Regards, Cecil Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Judy, Under the Five Elements concept:- 1. Other than using colour, shapes is another consideration. 2. Thus, circle symbolises metal element. While rectangle or square represents earth. 3. Generally, white, silver, chrome or gold represents metal element. 4. If one takes a close look at a Chinese Luopan, one will notice that it is made up of an external square (represented by earth) and the inner plate is the Heaven plate. 5. The key to understanding here, is that the Heaven (Metal) plate is the key to our life. The Heaven (Metal) circular plate is akin to Heaven's Qi. The Heaven qi is used to conqueror or neutralise earth imbalances e.g. the square plate. 6. This …
