Dear Anon, It is said that our luck is made up of three components: 1. Heaven Luck (can be examined by Ba Zi or Eight Characters / Pillars of destiny). 2. Earth Luck (Feng Shui) 3. Human (Man) Luck - (Relations with family ...) What you had mentioned is specific only to Para 1 (Heaven Luck). Traditionally, it is thru the use of colour assocations or best colours. In addition, for a strong water person; Fire is his/her wealth element. Yes, individually, colours can be used. But a metal - water wood combination is not favourable for a strong water person. (Specifically, metal element is not favourable as it helps fuel water element. (If one takes a simplistic view of J…

Dear Anon, 1. Please do not be unduly alarmed. 2. This is because, in the earlier case study; I specifically mentioned that there were instances of an `unclean' temple. 3. Since, you had clearly indicated that a temple or place of worship does not exits; you should not be worried about the situation, 4. If the is no temple, just look out for an additional situation i.e. a lone tall tree (trunk) at the NE or right side of the home. 5. Another senario of the above case study is that the set of Flying Stars at NE of the home that I had mentioned were `too yin' or had many yin stars that flew into that sector. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Meei Jinn, 1. As mentioned earlier, the key success factors esentially is: location, location and location. 2. Overall, in the past, I have elaborated that we should consider the heat source on our home. Often if the home is east to west direction (with the sun rise and sun set); And if the house is facing east (sitting west) or vice versa; and on a sunny day (assuming there are no trees to shade the frontage or the back; this type of house can be pretty hot all day. A hot home; is not ideal unless one is prepared to either withstand the heat or have the luxury to turn on the aircon. 3. Besides this, drainage such as a drain or canal behind the home is another consi…

Dear Anon, 1. The key success factor in a home is: location, location and location. 2. There is a difference between a "good house" and and "excellent house". 3. An excellent house is overall a `good house' plus it takes advantage of it's environment - to give it better Feng Shui. 4. An excellent house often makes use of it's external surroundings to give it a greater advantage i.e. it `sucks' or `soak' in wealth. 4.1 For example, it's main door is posited at a specific location that `collects' wealth from other developments or houses. Much like water draining (wealth) into the house. 4.2 Often, if the above is rare or cannot be physically achieved; the next best thing i…

Dear Anon, 1. Often, it is preferred not to have a mirror facing an open window or at the side of an open window - (based on "commonsense" approach to Feng Shui. 2. The main reason is "reflected light". Often, an external light source may inadvertenly shine into the home and is `captured' by say the mirror. If the light intensity is high, it may reflect `glare'. If we are `unfortunate' enough, we may be sitting down with the direct glare into our eyes and it feels so, uncomfortable. 3. Especially so, if there are shiny objects such as the profile of a vehicle. Light from it's body panel or windows may provide such a `glare'. 4. If you are confident that either reflected l…

Hi Low Low, Generally, people always wants if possible to select auspicious dates whether it be for moving into the home, opening the door, opening a business etc. So generally, auspicious dates can be used in any of the areas. So long as you think it is an important event and need a date to do so. The Auspicious Dates analysis report is meant to do that. It does a detailed comparison based on each person's ba zi. As no one single person has the same luck. Then next is to check on the Tong Shu Dates to ensure like for example no one likes to move in during say the Qing Ming month etc. In your question, moving in is usually defined as selecting a date which you officially…

Dear Anon, You need to have more Wood (green/brown) in your clothing on a personal level. And/or to create a triple combination flow ie:- Metal (white/gold) -> Water (blue/black/gray) -> Wood (green/brown) Once in a harmonious flow of combination, it does not matter if the decor is more blue, as the water will be converted to Wood, and the Wood is neutralised by Metal. Thus, the elements become in harmony with each other as opposed to having too much of a certain element. Thus, in Feng Shui, it is important to note that it is more important to have a balance of 20% of each element. However, that is sometimes too difficult to achieve that. Thus, we apply feng shui ba…

Dear Low Low, The problem here is Ba Zi analysis can be done on a basic level or on a comprehensive level. In order to determine whether you are weak or strong many analysis has to be done. 1. Computing the number of elements broken down into the five element. 2. Assigning proper weightage to the element based on the Seasons of Birth. 3. Determining if there are any elements which combines and clashes to form certain elements. 4. Checking the House of Life and House of Conception influences on the five element distributions etc. 5. And a few more rulesets. Only when you work out all these, can you determine properly whether an element is weak or strong. Take this for exam…

Dear Carlos, 1. For an irregular shaped house, it is best to visualise, the flux of qi moving within the home. 2. Often, such a home (distorts) qi i.e. not smooth flowing or there are `substantial leaks' causing imbalances. 3. To find the centrepoint, one `crude' method is to place a copy of the layout on a cardboard. And `cut' out the profile of the house. Try to balance it with a pin or nail. (this is the centre of gravity). 4. Alternatively, try to `break' the profile of the home into two rectangles each with it's centrepoint. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Danny, Please see below:- It is preferred that the master bedroom is a rectangular shape (without odd corners or extension). This is especially so for a newly married couple. Since you have a son, there could be other underlining reasons. Often, the Flying Star Feng Shui is used to diagnose sectors that have bad #3 and #4 wood elements which are associated with quarrels and disputes. This is one direction, that you may consider pursuing. Most probably, some of the bad stars had flew into especially the fish (tank) location. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, In my opinion, based on your description, I personally, do not find it a `threat'. In Asia, many homes (landed property) has much higher fence(s). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Master Cecil: With respect to this particular problem; i.e. the bathroom is close to the center influence of my home, do you think what I have done has reduced the adverse impact somewhat? By the way, I am in the U.S. and this is a rather new house. Therefore, it is a good looking bathroom with quality fixtures and floor. This bathroom has never been used and I deliberately keep it as presentable as living room. The smell in this bathroom is better than any other room in my house. Of course, I will identify other leakages of my house. I am going to take care of all other possible problems one by one. Do I have to do more with this particular bathroom, such as complet…

Hi Anon, Yes, however, Gua is the proper Chinese (rather than Kua which is based on Cantonese Dialect, just like Qi = C'hi) So how can Gua 9 numbers be equal to represent 8 Trigrams? There is no way so that is why the Gua Number itself does not yet equal to the 8 Trigram. Especially not the Gua number 5. Thus, the number 5 is often converted to represent one of the other two Trigram depending on Male or Female. Since the Eight Trigram is used or part of the Compass School (ie quite related to the Flying Stars) except that the center sector is empty. Thus, We relate the Trigam exactly as how it would link to the Flying Star. Eight House and Flying Star are part of …

Dear Cecil, Thank you for your prompt reply. My query is about sitting with my back facing a window. However, the Item 1 in your reply mentioned "sitting with our back against a wall". I hope it is a typo error and not a wrong interpretation. Please confirm Thanks & Best Regards szetong

Dear Anon, 1. A reasonable question asked is: ?Is this the only leak found in your home?" 2. Often, from my past experience, there is not just one leak (major) but several major leaks. Thus, in my opinion, taking this approach alone is too `simplistic' method. For example, if we try to `cover-our-backside'; it does not mean that our woes or problem may go away. In fact, we have protected our front-part which can be very vulnerable. Thus, we can still continue to be a " Virtual Eunuch "; even if we chopped down a tree. But it is an important step, nevertheless, if it poses or act as a poison arrow. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Hoa Luong, The report you generated is for the 20 year Flying Star for period 7. However, the Year 2003 report is based on this year, thus the difference. One should look at the 20 year Flying Star numbers first and relate it to (any additional adverse stars of the Year 2003) which may make the sector worse-off. For example, for a South-West house at 240 degrees, the 20 year Flying Star for Period 7 are as follows:- #3 mountain #2 water with base #5 and Year 4 while for North is #5 mountain with #9 water and base #3. And Year 2. In such a situation, for such a house; Year 2 flew into the North and made the sector worse-off! This is how, we relate the Year i.e. 2003…

Never buy a house with a toilet located at the center influence of the home. The center of the house is where all the flux of energy comes together. And if the toilet is located at the center of the home. Your wealth will leak out of the home. This will result in the family facing financial difficulties.

Dear Anon, Based on past precedence (experience); the only areas that one can apply FS to a small studio apartment is:- 1. Commonsense approach Minimize clutter. This may be hardest but, it does make commonsense:) 2. Yin and Yang concept Look at your life-style: Are you the type that uses your bedroom for sleep or work/study cum sleep? If you make your room solely more for sleep (rest), than create a more cozy home. If you often do your work at home, than, make sure that there is a specific location, where you have your study/work location. Have everything placed neatly for this activity close-by. Often, the ideal choice is to place this study/work location, close to a -…

Dear Anon, 1. I would take it as a `belief' or symbolism, then Feng Shui. 2. Often, we hear the term, if you are the `boss' one should behave like one. Thus, if one is the owner of the house, often, it is the belief that the owner (breadwinner) should occupy the master bedroom. 3. In my opinion, your question has few precedence or not common to many households. Thus, your guess is good as mine! 4. Often, under `commonsense approach' it is best to occupy any room (other than the store). This is because, if we do close the door of a room too long, it may have `stale air' or stagnant qi. 5. If the is closed entirely for a week or more, air in the room may progress to `suffo…

Dear David, A person's favourable element is never just one element. A Strong Fire has 3 different favourable elements:- 1. Earth (yellow) 2. Water (blue/black/gray) 3. Metal (white/gold) also known as the wealth element. So in fact you can use any of the above 3 different elements in different parts of your life to enhance your luck. Even for your Five Element, there are different percentage for each element so sometimes certain element that you have too much you do not want to have too much more, instead it is often better to have a balance element. ie. 5 element each broken in percentage whereby all elements should try to achieve 20%. So those, which you have too much …
