Dear Bernie/Ann, There are some resources on the type of ba gua mirrors under the attachment picture. Try to check out the conference: Photo Tours of Interest (with Pictures). Do a SEARCH for the key words as found in this attachment. A ba gua (pa kua mirror) should not be anyhow placed inside a home. For example, it should not be placed inside a home facing inwards into any of our rooms, living / dining, bedrooms. Or for any purpose, it is not ideal to place it inside the home. If you do a search of the above resource, you can find that a proper type of ba gua mirror (depending on it's shape and mirror and wordings or door gods have different purpose.) For exa…

Hi I heard that a pagoda figurine could be placed on the right hand side of a study table. May I know whether it has to be on the right hand side of the table? Any difference if I place it on the left hand side of the desk? Will there be any effect if the figurine is partially chip off? (tip of figurine and sides a bit chip off) Some said that spoilt figurines are not suited to be displayed. Is that true? Regards, Amelie

Dear Carolyn, For painting red colour, it should be the "standard" red as found in the red/blue/green e.g. of TV sets. However, pink, purple can be considered in the spectrum of red colour. Red, is considered the most Yang of the `red' colour while pink or shades of it is considered `less yang' but still represent the fire element. As for pinkish orange, one may have to look closely or get a few persons to comment on the colour... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Peck Wun, Off-white refers to a colour that is white but has a tinge of grey. Or it can also be considered as white with very light shades of other pigments e.g. red, blue, green or yellow. When one look at off-white colour, it is exactly white but slightly duller white. Many of the new paints are white in colour but when we look it at an angle, it looks more like the e.g. pink. Here, very minimal pink is added to these colours. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Karen, Generally, what you mentioned is acceptable. The main thing is that so long as there is no direct path between the bedroom and the exterior or Qi comes and exit out, this is fine. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Master Robert Lee, Thank you for the generous reply. You mentioned about "So as long as you avoid having any major renovations in this sector or East sector of the house (which is the opposite of the location in conflict:West), then you are usually quite safe." May I know what is East conflicting with in the West? I know that 3 Killings is in the West, does this mean we can'trenovate anything that is opposite of 3 Killings? We are planning to paint the room in the South White to counter the 5 Yellows there in 2008. Thanks to your free auspicious date calculator, we will start the painting and moving of furnitures on 27 Dec, 2008 since the next few dates are ve…

Dear Mr Low, Overall, the earth element has only one main colour i.e. yellow or shades of it such as: cream or beige. (No other colour represents it). A safe element is often:- 1. White (metal) element. Or a combination of water element and gold such as the colour of the wrought iron gate / grille where often: the background is black and gold is splashed onto it. Ideally, one has to take extra care of using fire (red, pink or purple) at such sectors. As fire may inadvertently fuel bad earth #5 or #2 if they are present at that sector. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Some Geomancers consider "water" in the bedroom as:- 1.1. Some defined water as a Yin element : thus to them water is not suitable to be used in a "yin" location e.g. such as a bedroom. Here, it is a "static" painting, and not real moving water. 1.2. There are some who consider a painting of a water fall, as "moving" water ... so to them their interpretation is that since a bedroom should be for rest "yin"; then moving water = Yang is not suitable in a bedroom environment. 2. Frankly, these are the two most common interpretations by different Geomancers. Again, there is no right or wrong answers. See which or both appeal to best to the lay person. 3. What is really…

Dear Chun Hao Wang, Chun Hao Wang wrote: I have a question about putting paintings of dragon and tigers in my room. I recently bought two beautiful paintings of a dragon and a tiger. I decided to hang them up in my room. However, when my mother saw it she said it is very bad to hang up dragons and tigers in your room. She told me only emperors can do that. It is very bad for me to do something like that since I am born in the year of the pig. Actually, it is best not hang any painting that contains fierce looking creatures/animals. For a very simple reason, because they contain a lot of Sha Qi. It is ok to hang any auspicious/happy loooking paintings as it just brings …

Dear Anon, For the bedroom, it would be best to avoid any water scenery painting or poster in the bedroom. Otherwise, often, other types of painting or poster has to be looked at individually. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Monica, Frankly, in Feng Shui, there is no specific need for `special' paintings all around the walls in a bedroom. If you have posted this message to a "Feng Shui emporium", I believe, you will be happy `slapped' with various items to buy on their site. In Feng Shui, one key success factor is "clear space". And cleanliness. I am not saying that hanging paintings is not `clean'. But for those living in Asia, and at low floors, such as 1st to the 4th storey, there are such insects / reptiles as : lizards. Often, if one has three paintings, at night, one may just get a glimse of a few `fat' lizards, coming out of the hiding of various paintings to catch their bait. No…

Dear Rakesh, 1. This has usually more to do with symbolism or beliefs. 2. The belief is that if one has a ship painting, it should not be of a stormy weather where it may imply that the ship may be caught in a tidal wave or storm and sink. 3. In the above situation, it is not ideal symbolism to have a painting where the ship may sink and relate this to a company where.. the company may go under. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, If the pair of hands are stretched out in a `receiving' position, it would not be `auspcicious' unless the hands hold something. A pair of `empty' hands symbolises e.g. begging, and if they are really in this `position' then, best not to display it at all. Thus as you have not exactly described what posture it is, the above are my immediate comments. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Sorry, I hope not to sound too harsh in my earlier e-mail. 1. Further to what I had mentioned, I really feel sad that many of are taken in by modern commercial products. And it feels sad that many of such products are circulating around - in the name of "Feng Shui". 2. They should actually be classified as "decorative" items. And not, described as some important - in the name of Feng Shui cure or something like that. 3. Human nature is such: How often do we hear many people saying that when they have problems, one way to side-track their problem is to over-eat. Some of these persons, feel that over eating can simply "wish" their problems away! 4. Thus it is a real p…

Dear James, Apologise for the late reply, this mail was apparently not sent to my e-mail account. Personally, I feel that there is actually no need to purchase special amulet or ornaments for yourself or your home. It is equally effective to use any simple remedy, so long as it suits your personal element. For example, if you are a weak water, then using metal (such as any necklace, etc) would bring you luck. So I feel that it is more important to suit and enhance your element rather then to believe in a special sort of ornaments. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

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…

Hi I'm new to feng shui and thought I would ask your advise as we moved into our new apartment which has a beautiful palm tree outside the back balcony which I am hoping is not bad feng shui. I have attached photos. The outside balcony is not in line with the front door and neither can you see the tree from the front door. The front door overlooks a courtyard with no obstruction. Please see attached photos. I would really appreciate your advise and am open to any suggestions. Thank you in advance.

Asians are familiar with this plant. As it's essence is used to flavour Nonya cakes and used in many deserts and there is even a pandan cake. Some Singapore Taxi drivers and even Singaporeans place a bunch of this pandan plant in their car. To them, it is believed that cockroaches dislike this plant and thus is used as a natural method of getting rid of roaches in a home or car. To many from overseas, they may find this smell as pungent as smelling the local durian fruit. The family name of this plant is: Pandanaceae and it's common name is called fragrance pandan. This plant is relatively easy to grown in a home. And is also one of the all time favourites of hous…

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, there are far too many variations of what a mountain star looks like. 2. Therefore, as there are many human beings on earth, there are many Feng Shui practitioners with their own ideas of what the mountain star is. 3. Those who, perhaps sell crystals or used them before, would say that mountain star must be made of crystal etc... 3. While others sell `smooth' or beauty rocks would say that theirs is a mountain star. 4. Thus, it is always unproductive to argue over the shape and form of what a mountain star should be. 5. To this day, no one can claim that his or her mountain star is the only one that works. If so, surely there must be a book wr…
