Dear Master Cecil, I just started to learn Feng Shui 2 weeks ago. It is so interesting to me. I am eager to learn everything. We are going to move into a new house soon. The house is facing North and sitting South. I checked out Eight direction for me and my husband. My husband is a North East person (was born 09/1965) and I am a South West person ( was born 12/1969). Our main entrance is in Spook and Death sectors. I was shake. I do not know what to do? Question 2 is about Fish Tank. Where should I put it ? Will be good in the excellent and prosperity sectors ? Or other sectors ? Question 3 is about Wind Chime. I bought a big, nice metal Wind Chime few years ago. I woul…

Dear Anon, 1. Yes, washing machines should be considered as a water position. 1.1. Especially front loading washing machines that has a circular glass pothole. 1.2. Thus it is less than ideal for this glass pothole to face the stove. 2. In addition, water pipe is used to draw in water into it at the back and the output of dirty water is also produced. 3. A microwave is (contrary) to popular belief - belongs to the metal element. Since, it's energy is concentrated inwards. Fire is not used to conduct this energy but instead microwave (metal) element is used to disturb the molecules to cook them. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jen, Let's take alook at commonsense approach to Feng Shui. Often, the most convenient place to walk in and out of various rooms is a passage-way. Here, imagine a passage way (or clear space at the centrepoint of the home). In better Feng Shui homes, this corridor or area is the `flux' or centrepoint of a home. A low set of sofa furniture is still ok, since, it represents clear space i.e. nothing at this `centrepoint' that is as high as a wall. Please note that it does not necessary mean that all homes must have clear space here. It depends. What is not so favourable are locations like: a toilet / toilet bowl and a kitchen's stove etc... Under commonsense approach t…

Further to what I had mentioned; United Overseas Land Limited associated project was this condo - The Eden Executive Condominium. Name: The Eden Type: Executive Condominium Location: TAMPINES ST 34 Total No of Units: 430 TOP Date: May 2003 (in batches) Tenure: 99 years w.e.f 12/9/2000 In my opinion, this developer is lesser known because it develops fewer residential projects than the Hong Leong Group and it's subsidiary City Developments Limited (CDL) and Far East Organisation put together. Some of United Overseas Land's recent projects include The Sunshine, Moulmein and Country Park. The url is as follows:- http://203.126.226.234/uol/residential.htm In my opinion, …

Dear Reyla, 1. How long have you been staying in this house? 2. Are you facing financial distress? 3. Overall, there are two major Shapes and Forms `handicap' for this home: 3.1 Please refer to marking `A'. ================================ In addition to the toilet at the centrepoint of the home; another further problem is that the centrepoint or the centre-of-gravity for this home does not have clear space. Here, qi from all areas of the home cannot congregate or meander at this centrepoint or `flux'. Often, if one stays in such a home for more than 2 or 3 years, one can feel the impact of financial problems. Since qi cannot effectively flow `about' in all directions. 3.…

Dear Cecil, Thanks a lot for your generous assistance. I did go through the old forum messages and you did mention is better not to concern on number of goldfishes to prevent the trouble of replacing if any of the fishes die. Actually I don't understand what is Flying Star Feng Shui but somehow number 8 is still one of the best numbers. I'll add in another 4 little goldfishes then. Thank you once again. rgds, Stanley

Dear Cecil, What do you think about the birth time of the house? Does the house belong to periode 6 or 7? Btw, we have red pavement in the frontage (North). In fact, the majority of the frontage is red colored. Does it matter? Thanks in advance.

I have a bathroom in the Southwest Location. What kind of cure should I put here? I've heard you can't put flowers in the bathroom. What kind of paint color should I paint it? Are crystals okay? Thanks.

Dear Peck Wun, 1. I hope you can understand that there are alreay available resources on this. Plus, there are lots of examples and even actual cases of how centrepoint was derived in attachments by uses. 2. For a lay person who wants to understand better, then go to this resource: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm Look at the example of how, one can copy the layout; glue it on a cardboard, cut-it out and try to balance it on a pin. The centrepoint is all about: the centre of graivty. This is particularly possible if the house has lots of indents. But if the house is `L' shaped, then divide the home into two or more rectangles. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jen, I do agree totally with Kam. Please do a SEARCH in this forum for `time-zone' considerations. Robert and myself had posted several reasons why it should not be changed. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear All, Looks like there is another Feng Shui Emporium to choose from...(This one is from China) I like to emphasise that Geomancy.net is a Professional Consultancy site and from day 1 does not believe in selling any physical products. It is our strong belief that selling such things can *cloud* one's mind or specifically - have a conflict of interest in our professional service. Nowadays, it is interesting to see that there are more competition in the sale of commercial products. And this spells good for those who are interested in all things Chinese. For those who want to obtain things like Chinese ancient coins or wind chimes can do a SEARCH at http://www.yahoo.com …

Dear Francesca, 1. Sorry for the delay. 2. Yes, even if your renovation is about to be completed soon or even completed; one can still truly beneifit from a full audit. 3. For those who are in the same shoes as you; I will tailor the audit with more inclination towards looking more into your Heaven Luck (Pillars of Destiny) with reference to each family member's Ba Zi traits, luck pillars and also into palmistry. 4. In fact, just last Sunday morning, I spent close to 3 hours just with the two couples. For weekends, or a full audit session, my timing is often two sessions: Morning Session: either 8.30am or 9.00am Afternoon Session: either 1.30pm or 2.00pm (depending on the…

Dear Jumin, 1. Please refer to the destructive cycle chart under the Five elements concept: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-5element.htm 2. Let's take a simple example:- 2.1 Case 1 : A Strong Metal person ================================== If one looks at the chart carefully; Metal destroys Wood. Here, imagine that one has a strong metal implement and a block of wood. In the hands of a scupture; this block of wood that costs a few dollars can be transformed into an object of art. Here, this piece of wood is worth much more. For example, cheap labour in China can convert this simple block of wood into a three-legged toad figurine. Where the block of wood cost…

Dear Wilson, Thank you for bringing up a very interesting question. 1. It is often highly mistaken by many in the west to associate the Chinese system of divinity, four pillars and Feng Shui with ACTUAL seasons. (When I mention the Chinese system - it should encompass those mentioned under Para 1) 2. For example, 6 years ago, some Feng Shui practitioners in Australia wanted to bring in a new brand of Feng Shui. For example, reversing the Ba Gua system etc... 3. But all these can easily be refuted as the Chinese system can withstand all these criticisms or new fad ideas. 4. Many of the Chinese system are: 4.1. highly symbolic 4.2. the lowest common denominator is the Five …

Dear Wilson, Please below:- ?h When such a combination between different Heavenly Stem (Hour, Month, Year, Life or Conception) combines with the Heaven Stem (day), will depend on whether it is a Joint or a Full combination. A Full Combination will change the element of the stem for both pillars to the new element. While a Join will not affect any change of the element for both pillars. However, the change of element say the Day and Hour pillar change from Wood to Fire. Does not change the Birth element of a person. ie Weak Wood does not change to Weak Fire because of the combination. The combination will simply remove Wood from his chart making him weaker. ?h How …

Dear Anon, Please see below:- To clarify, I hope I get you correctly. Do you mean to say that there is a window at the 2nd storey landing? Often, this is acceptable (in terms of bringing in or filtering) in light into the area. Usually, if there is a window, often, up to waist height should be fixed / permanent and either a casement or swing up window is acceptable. If the window is not fixed below; it may be a safety issue for young children. Personally, I do not see this as an issue; if what you mentioned seems that way. If the mirror is quite a distance away; often this is not an issue. By any chance do you have pointed gate or any objects pointed towards the …

Dear Reyla, Oh so sorry, what I meant was that the repainting should be done at one-go. This is symbolic of removing the roof of a home at one-go. Therefore, choose a date to start this process. For example, one can seek temporary shelter e.g. move-in with a relative or stay at a hotel for a few days or week; depending on the work required and contract with the painter; one need not worry how long it takes, here. Painting should take a reasonable time (more for your convenience). It does not mean here, that one must paint the ceiling a few times! But rather at one-go after 2004 lunar new year. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kenny, 1. Thank you for the link. I have already checked out the two designs. 2. If you look at the attachment (Source and credit to: HDB), one can find that both units does not have toilet(s) at the centrepoint. Other comments: Blk 297B Compassvale Street #02-24 ================================== Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui: 1. It is not as auspicious to have the main door (face) the dining table. 1.1 This is more of a commonsense approach in Feng Shui. 1.2 The rationale is because often, in many homes, the dining table is often cluttered with food e.g. bread and since not all family members return home at the same time, food is often left on the table. The di…

Dear Kay Song, Traditional Feng Shui sites like this practise the following concepts: 1. Heaven Luck Do a search for Pillars of Destiny or Ba Zi or Eight Characters. 2. Earth Luck 2.1 This is truly Feng Shui or the earth luck. 2.2 In Traditional Feng Shui; there are two major schools: - Shapes and Forms - Compass School: Eight House and Flying Star 3. Human or man luck 3.1 This is the most mis-used area. 3.2 For example, go to any Feng Shui site and they often claim that e.g. 3-legged toad or some figurine are very good for us. 3.3 However, there is always a hidden agenda behind this. Imagine, in China a 3-legged toad can be carved for as little as US$15 - cheap labour a…

Dear Anon, From my personal experience, it is not good to hang a wind chime with various `elements'. For example, it is still better to hang a wind chime that has no more than two elements: Example: A wind chime that has a wood clinger and a wooden `roof' combined with say hollow alluminium/metal rods is still OK. But as you had described, the wind chime that may have several elements e.g. silvery green, if dolphins are blue etc... This year, for a period 7 house, North seems a pretty bad location for most homes. Given this situation, a wind chime at North (can still be considered) unless, one has a huge open field and close to a `dirty' temple. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Gordon, If you live in a domitory or short of space e.g. a rented room, frankly, there is really no issue in this. Look at it this way, many educated people have lived in domitories and were successful after their studies. More... Some Feng Shui practitioners, I understand, are against this, because they were afraid that qi cannot flow underneath a bed. But, there are many families who allow their young ones e.g. age between 1 to 5 years old - to sleep on a mattress on the floor. And in many cultures, often, people sleep on the floor or floor mat. And there are no adverse problems. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Cecil, Thank you for the information on Numbers. That was exciting reading & learning because I have always been told that 4 is BAD and nothing good to it. Please advice if I didn't misunderstand what you wrote in the article. If the house is completed in period 7, and the number is 4040 for example - this is actually a good number? Because although it sounds like death, being in period 7 and adding up to 8 make it OK? Thank you for your explanation. Tammy

Dear Mr Low, I hope I got your description correctly. From what I understand, it seems like you have supporting structure which often is thicker than the wall or glass frame. Often this is not an issue. Unless, you are referring to a protuding corner (plastered with concrete). If so, often the sha qi from such a corner is approximately 1 metre distance. Otherwise, if it is just a tiny protrusion i.e. part of the support structure, then there is often no issue here. There is no harm in placing a crystal. No issue. Warmest Regards, Cecil
