Dear Anon, It does not matter if it is N-NE, NW-SE. But rather, often, the entrance is at the frontage of the building. And, if often also, open car parks are most conveniently location at the frontage or surrounding / around the perimeter of the building - taking into consideration, the movement in and out of the building. For example, in some larger buildings with only open car park, cars are often parallel parked in a one-way direction. Where vehicles come in at one direction and exit another direction. It also depends on the shape of the plot of land plus the outline of the plot of land. For example, if the front has only room for the entrance, but the back of th…

Dear Sandra, Often, this is not a major flaw. To some people, this is a non-issue. However, the simplest method is to use one's personale.g. table cloth or any cloth that is of appropriate length. One simply covers this bookshelf. For example if there are two shelves, for the lower shelf: 1. simply remove all the books from the first shelf. 2. Next, take a piece of cloth: fold it to the appropriate length; use part of it to cover the base of the first shelf. 3. Next, place back the books. Now, with these books on top of this cloth, it acts like a temporary cover for the lower book shelf. Often, the upper bookshelve is much higher and no issue. If one still wants to te…

Dear Wasis, 1. I personally think that a lot more issues should be taken into consideration, first. 2. I have always found the management concept: Situational approach - " It depends ". 3. It happened that, particularly in Singapore, we have a small island and majority lives in high rise buildings. 4. One must understand that as a building goes up (vertical); often, the building is at the `mercy' of the elements. 5. For example, taking my most recent comments on the condo: The Yardley. Some of the units are in a direct compass East-West line. 6. In addition, just imagine that this unit is e.g. at 7 floor/storey. And that there are no other buildings or trees to shade this…

Dear Cecil, I just bought a six rod hollow metal windchime and hang it in SE sector. Soon, my neighbour hang one with 5 rod hollow bamboo windchime near my windchime. Since that sector is more windy, we may say there is a windchime war. :) Do you think my neighbour's windchime could be considered a threat to my SE sector? FYI, my windchime produces more loudly sound considering it is about 1 meter length. For that big windchime, I paid $5 (compared to those at FS Emporium sites, it's cheap). Thanks in advance. Regards, Wasis

Ha ha ha, that's interesting. But Mr Lee, if there is a red pipe (fire water hose pipe) at one side of the door, do you think the chinese red banner is still needed to scare off the kirins ? Kindly advise me on the above question as i am in doubt. Thanks very much. BR

Dear Anon, The clue here is to understand what is: Heaven Luck Earth Luck and most importantly what is Human (Man) Luck In general: 1. In the old, Feng Shui was used to look at locations for a city, town etc... 2. The most used word in the English dictionary are words like: I , me, my etc... 3. Here, we can draw a parallel to many of us. How do we improve our homes. 4. More importantly, the key success of any home is: Location, location and location. 5. Therefore: MACRO Feng Shui is the MOST important factor. 6. Commercial products 6.1 Often, what "corrupts" a Feng Shui practitioner, book author of Feng Shui etc... are commercial products. 6.2 In my opinion, usually, if o…

Dear James, 1. Often, a better method is to apply Flying Star Feng Shui. This is because, if the sector that you are placing a water position has #3 or #4 i.e. bad wood elements (disputes, legal entanglements, scandals etc...) 2. Then under the Five elements concept: Water helps fuel wood element. 3. In such a situation, this will further inflame #3 or #4. 4. If you are not sure what I am talking about, please do some research into Flying Star. Or do a SEARCH in this forum for this topic. 5. The worst location based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui is to try and avoid water position at WEST direction of the house. As this is said to be the white-tiger domain. Water could in…

Dear Anon, I have viewed, once, opened, close and open your mail. Seeing whether I have the time to understand even if I have to reply to it. Frankly, I often do not really like mails that show only text e.g. SSW etc.... To be more effective, I prefer a sketch or pictures. As I hope you can understand, I do not want to have additional `white hair' digesting the information. I had just glanced thru your message. Often, high walls are not favourable especially since you live on the ground level. Especially so, if the walls do not have `openings' in between. For example, some wrought iron grilles with a flower bed. This is often better to soften the walls. " And not make you…

Dear Anon, The link can be found here: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-face.htm In fact, other than to see a doctor; some people managed to use a strand of their hair and tie a knot to `kill' or starve the mole. And often, it drops off after a few days. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, This sounds very familiar recently. This is because nearly everyone who got their keys at The Eden condo at Tampines are `cursing' their developer. Fortunately, many of those who got their keys in the first phase - several of my clients there, are fortunate to have the kitchen at the `South' location. If the kitchen is at the south, this if acceptable i.e. OK to have the stove face a water position. In general; the most inauspicious is the kitchen is at the north of the house. (For example, if one stands at the centrepoint and use a compass. If the kitchen is at the north direction; this is not very favourable. To be honest; the only Feng Shui remedy is to r…

Dear Madan, If the Flying Stars are ok at this sector; since the person is a weak metal person; it is best to harmonize the room to this person's element. Thus, for a weak metal person, the best element to help him/her is "earth" element (yellow, cream or beige). This is the best "boost" as earth helps to fuel or increase weak metal. Another element that is favourable to this person is `metal' which is white or gold. Therefore, as you had mentioned if this sector is balanced and if there are no bad #5 or #2 earth stars here, then the best colour for the bedroom is cream or beige i.e. on the walls. And we can also harmonise this room by adding metal e.g. white or `gold' c…

My daughter is almost 8 months old, born in November 2002. Her cot faces the nursery door, with her feet facing the door. Unfortunately I am unable to put the cot in another position in her room. Neither end of the cot is against a wall. Is there something I can hang above the door or on the hallway wall opposite the door to aid her sleep as I am of the understanding it is not good feng shui practise to have her cot facing a door. Many thanks Mel

Dear Cecil, Thank you very much for the quick response. I am quite understand now about the houses on hilltops. But how about those houses having the stove sit right at the northwest corner which burn the breadwinner's luck? My friend is hesitate to move in such a house but all the neighbors who have the same floorplan seem to have lived there peacefully for years. I also have another question concerning about the four animal symbols. In your major Fengshui theories online, you describe the north is tortise and south is phoenix. The house should sit against the hill (tortise, north) and facing the south. But my house is facing the north (open space) and against a hill (so…

Dear Master, I read in a Flying Star Feng Shui book by a famous author that you can change the Flying Star natal chart of the house by remodeling. i.e. if you have a house that is built in period 5, you can change the house into a period 7 (if remodeled in period 7) or period 8 (if remodeled in period 8) house by putting in new roof and new carpeting or flooring. Thus the old house would have a new natal chart in the remodeled year instead of original built year. Is this a valid statement? So if I buy a house that has bad flying star natal chart, I can remodel the house and make it have more auspicious flying star natal chart based on the new period. Thank you in advance …

Dear Cecil Thankyou for your time.. I desperately seek your help on behalf of myself, my family and my business. I live in Australia with my wife and 2 daughters (aged 6 & 9). I was born on 17th May, 1959 and am a self-employed 'Internet Business' owner..

Dear Caroline, Under the Eight House Theory, there is relatively, nothing much else one can do other than try to face a favourable direction. In fact, having one's back to a `glass' wall is not necessarily bad so long as there is a back row cabinet behind us. Usually, this cabinet is at the same level as our side partition. This is symbolic of a mountain position. Often, other objects (placement of charms or figurines) in most cases are more of Ren Cai or Human Luck factor. This affects us mentally than - as a charm or help. In fact, nowadays, our table have little real-estate given that we already have a monitor or keyboard and mouse. Warmest Regards Cecil

Dear Fran?oise, 1. It is never wise to use Gua number to guage compatibility. 2. The biggest obvious reason is that `statistical' nightmare considering that between a pair or couple: such a compatibility is 50-50 percent chance. 3. Since, all of us belong to either East or West group. And majority of the time: it will end up either being " compatible e.g. East with East group or the other 50 percent of the time East with West group. 4. In the professional Ba Zi analysis; a better method is to look at compatibility in relation to ba zi. For example, Husband is a weak fire person. And wife is a strong water person. In such a situation, often, the dominant party is the wife.…

Dear Anon, In compass readings, there is no right or wrong answers. Often, this is a `live' subject based on the dwelling. For more information, please go thru this resource:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-cecilcompass.htm For example, taking a reading from the centrepoint or the flux, in my opinion, is one of the methods used, here also. One has to remember that we are not living in the past. In the past, if one looks at all the Chinese homes, the main door is often the `facing' direction. Nowadays, many apartments, flats and bungalows often have doors at the side. And to say that standing at the door facing out to read a direction is as subjective as any ot…

I have bought a piece of Land (square form - 17Wx30D) facing South. Unfortunately (base on Feng Shui, this is not a good site for the land) the land is right in front of the 'T' roads. I am planning to build a house on it very soon. I am the breedowner and my birth date is 20 Mar 1969. What major consideration in the designing the house? Thanks for the advice.
