I am moving to an acreage where the address can be any even number between 55200 and 55298. Since the 552 are considered bad numbers, what last 2 numbers of the address could I use that would counteract the 552 at the start of the address?

Dear Guest, 1. The rationale why, the "numbers game" is not used in Feng Shui is; as you had correctly pointed out: it is subject to so many different interpretations! 2. For some race (and dialect) groups, it could be based on phoentic sounds. 3. Since, numbers are to be interpretted so widely or diversly, it would seem furtile to argue which numbers are better. 4. Even in numerology, there are just too many schools. And where do we begin? 5. More importantly, if it is from a Feng Shui angle, often, it is not the number of the unit but rather: the external environment, the site, the building that plays an important part. 5.1 For example, we often find homes with `nice' n…

Dear Anon, 1.It is always best to understand each concept or theory in order to have a good grasp or proper foundation to help us achieve success. 2. The first thing that comes to my mind when you mentioned Gua or Kua is: 2.1 What is it based on? When we first try to apply this we need to provide an input. For Gua or kua numbers : we merely need our year of birth. However, contrast this carefully with the inputs needed for ba zi analysis. For ba zi (Pillars of destiny) we not only need to have the Year of birth, but also at least the Month, Day of birth. And if we can, try to also use our hour of birth. 2.2 So what is so different with these two concepts? We can tell at a…

Dear Anon, 1. Drawing a parallel, nowadays, also, this type of Feng Shui is too general to be effective. It is like the notion of North = career sector; SW = romance sector. 2. Although: West is associated with metal; East with wood; there is not much this can tell us. 3. A more accurate interpretation is to apply Flying Star Feng Shui. This is because each sector has three variables: the mountain star; the water star and the base star. 4. For example, the Flying Star analysis is based on the birth chart of each home. Here, one needs to know the year the house was born or had a major renovation. The direction of the house. 4.1 Senario 1: ============== If this (west) sect…

Dear Anon, 1. Often, this has more to do with psychology (or beliefs) then Feng Shui. 2. For example, many of us, cannot stand the sight of blood or `cruelty'. In nature, fishes, often caught live fishes and eat them. 3. Other than the above, or for the person who feeds the fish, if one is conscious of such activity, then, one may feel unease. 4. This category of activity should be classified more of a `Ren cai'(human / man luck activity). 5. Often we have `dealings' and communication with our loved ones, friends and at work. 5. We can draw a parallel to what you had mentioned to (extreme cases). Often, we hear that a criminal e.g. one that had taken someone else life. S…

Dear Utpal, 1. Although, red can be associated with the `fire' element, this is only one perspective or point of view. 2. Far from this single view or vocab that red = fire; red alternatively also represents auspiciousness for the Chinese. 3. Understanding the Five Elements Concept:- 3.1 Besides what I mentioned under Para 2, everything that is tied in red, therefore is symbolic of `auspiciousness'. 3.2 The Six coins cure and the red string or ribbon: For the six coins cure: Six represents `big metal'. The square hole at the centre of this six coins represents `earth' element. Earth element helps to strengthen metal element. Since the arrangement of six coins represent …

I have a small kitchen and recently added a small metal shelving unit. Due to space constraints I had to put my cats' food and water bowls on the bottom shelf. I am concerned that the shelf above the "feeding shelf" will act as a beam or otherwise create negative feng shui for the cats. Any advice?

Dear Carlos, 1. In my opinion, this may not be the correct way to solve your problems. 2. A Ba Gua mirror is often used to either: 2.1 Ward of evil and/or 2.2 Neutralise Sha Qi (poison arrows). (For example, a house located at a `T' junction. 3. Often, it is placed outside the main entrance door or above the window of a house. 4. Otherwise, it is best to check out what is wrong i.e. are there any leaks externally or internally in the home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, One possibility is to see you can find a house with a main door that can be tilted towards NE, NW, SE or SW. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Peck Wun, In my opinion, if it is a small hole; and unintentional, usually there is no issue, here. However, on the safe side, (touch wood) - [This is not Feng Shui - but common beliefs) if you incur any problems, and if you have an altar at home, simply light up three jost sticks and pray towards the grand duke direction asking for forgiveness. After this, buy some flowers and lime (cut the lime) and place them into a basin; bathe and after bathing, pour the water onto your head down to the back. For more information, do a search in this website for " lime " or "rose ". [ Have mentioned, in detail what to do with it. ] Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Master Cecil: Thank you for your reply to my questions regarding posts in my front yard. Now, my question is what I should do with it? The size of this utility post (where electricity wires and telephone cables are) is 6 inches by 6 inches and less than 3 feet high. Standing at my front door, this post looks like slicing into my front entrance and I cannot remove this post (utility work inside). Should I plant shrubs around this post to block my view of this post? Or should I grow climbing vines, such as trumpet vine, around the post? Please advise. Thank you very much. Regards, Anon

Dear Peck Wun, Please see below:- In matter what, your home is still a Period 7 apartment. Period 7 spans between 1984 to 2003. Therefore, even if there are several renovations or major renovations done e.g. in 2001, 2002 or even this year; your apartment will still be a Period 7 apartment/house. Where possible try not to do any work at South South-Weat or 210 degrees. If this is at true compass direction South-West, then it is still ok. If you have a compass, try to locate the centerpoint of your home. Stand there and confirm that the location is not South South-West 210 degrees. No, this is minor and no issue. Unless, you need to remove the aircon unit moun…

Dear Master Cecil: I have read the web page at cecilcompass.htm, which is very helpful. I have posted my questions regarding the unique situating of my house before, and I was to told to provide a sketch of the house. I do not have a scanner to upload the layout. I hope the depict that is provided following my questions would suffice. I need your expertise in analyzing the center point and direction of my house: 1. There is a good size pillar that is off but very close to the center point of the house. This pillar is from ground up all the way to the ceiling. Although the pillar is not exactly at the crossing point of the two diagonal lines of the rectangle, could it be t…

Dear Dragana, Please see below:- Given this senario, often, when one visits a so called Feng Shui website, they always sell such (commercial) things. The only difference I find between the Mandarin ducks vs the three legged toad is that: perhaps, the pair of mandarin ducks appeal more to westerners. While many Chinese: in Singapore, many of the lower (middle) income Chinese e.g. living in three or four room flats have such a three legged toad. All these are fool hardy, given that the money goes into the pocket of the seller. Frankly, should treat all these as decoration. If one likes say a painting, it can be pleasing to one's eyes. In fact, most of the material …

Dear Cecil, My husband(Rooster 1969) and I(Ox 1973) was married on 30th April 1996. We choose d this date as it was my birthday. However, misfortune seem to fall after our marriage. First we met with an accident and both of us injured. Then my husband was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He was operated twice and radiation done but unfortunately his tumors recurred again. We begin to suspect that our "Bazi" ke(crush). We approached a fortune teller and understand from him that our marriage date was not auspicious and has crushed with the "San Niang Sha". He also suggested that if we did not "hua" cure the above, misfortune will still fall on us. We are very worried. Please a…

Dear Anon, 1. Further to what I had mentioned, what was mentioned below, is considered a modern invention. And have very low success rate. 2. Drawing a parallel, locally in my country, a typical low success rate has the following characteristics:- 2.1 The breadwinner has been staying in the same house for more than 3 or more years. 2.2 This typical house often: has a figurine of a laughing buddha and or a three-legged toad. 2.3 The owner is often a Chinese educated person. (Often stay in a 3 or 4 room government housing board flat). 2.4 Often, believes wholeheartedly of a wealth corner. And, if need be, would often place a ba gua mirror at the main door. Often, many of su…

Dear Anon, 1. If one hires a Feng Shui practitioner who practises (Ren Cai) or Human/Man luck Feng Shui, more often, a fountain is placed close to the main entrance door area. 2. But, honestly, the placement of a fountain comes under the following considerations:- 2.1 It is not advisable to have a fountain - especially if the breadwinner is a weak fire or strong water person. As a water position can overwhelm the weak fire or extinguish his weak fire. If one is a strong water person, too much water can also overwhelm him/her. 2.2 What is the actual purpose of a fountain? 2.2.1 If one is living on a landed property, a water position especially at the frontage does help. Th…

Dear Anon, 1. For a threat towards the interior of the home: If one looks out of the window, one should not see a lone tree slicing thru the window. If so, a simple day curtain to screen or a blind would be useful. 2. Yin and Yang concept: Often, a large tree is not advisable especially if it has lots of branches and leaves. The rationale here is that, because of the tree, what is underneath the tree becomes `dark' i.e. no sunlight penetrate thru. And it is because of this; that we consider the location or area `yin'. Too yin, or darked area, is not really too good. 3. Often, it is said that spirits (or for those who believe in spirits); a spirit may harbour or hide ins…

Dear Cecil, My house is devided into 3 areas: main area (guest room, bedrooms, dining room & living room), garage area and kitchen area (kitchen, laundry, storage). The kitchen area is behind the main area and the garage is beside the main area. The height of the roof of the kitchen area is lower than main area's. In other words, front is higher than back. I have heard that back should be higher than front otherwise one will suffer financial problem. The remedies are: a. make the back roof higher than front roof (major renovation) b. install a post at the back so that the back is higher than front So, I plan to move my antenna pole to the back. However, a new problem …

Dear Anon, 1. A key ingredient of Feng Shui is qi flow. 2. Given that there is an upgradig of the grounds and facade. And also the roof has been modified or enhanced, this is very strong grounds for qi change. And thus, most likely, will affect your house period. 3. It is very interesting to note that, currently our life span is relatively short e.g. 60 to 80 or even 90 years. 4. Since one Flying Star chart is based on 20 years each, many Feng Shui practitioners that are alive today, cannot really provide an exact answer. Anyone claiming to be 100 percent sure - should be looked at with a pinch of salt. 5. Here, for example if a Feng Shui practitioner is say 58 years old…
