Dear Peck Wun, Please see below:- No, it is not necessarily true that all new HDB apartments have toilet at the centrepoint. There are many which have a bomb shelter at or close to the centrepoint. Often, a toilet at the centrepoint is considered as one major leak. It is akin to having a fractured arm even before moving into the home. It is because of such a leak plus additional leaks such as the house is not suitable to the breadwinner etc.. that will give problems later to the breadwinners. I must stress therefore, that often; it is not just one leak but several leaks that cause a problem. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Utpal, Flying Star Feng Shui uses the common lowest denominator: The Five elements concept. (Yin and Yang is higher up under this pyramid). Pillars of destiny also uses the Five elements concept. Often, it is crucial to find out what is one's element and strength e.g. weak wood person. If this has been determined: for a weak wood person:- Favourable elements are: Water (blue, black or grey) and Wood (green or brown). Unfavourable elements are: Fire (red, pink or purple) and Metal (white or gold). The wealth element of a weak wood person is: Earth Earth (yellow, cream or beige). But take note that this wealth element is not favourable to a weak wood person. It is good…

Dear Anon, You can review my comments on the various options on how to take a compass reading. In particular the difference between a building block, landed property and an apartment:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-cecilcompass.htm Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Hopefully, the red string does not stain or release red colour. Else simply rinse it with soap and water and leave it to dry. 2. In my opinion, although 3 represents wood and under the destructive process of Five elements concept: Metal destroy wood, often, this have very little success. It has more to do with `ren chai' or human luck. We want to believe in feeling lucky, that's all. Equivalent to the notion put to us by many Geomancers' that all of us have a wealth corner in a home. It is only to give us a sense of satifaction. For those who have watched Chinese period dramas or shows - and see the furniture arrangement, have anyone yet to see a show with…

Dear Anon, There are two dimensions when looking at the placement of a fish tank: 1. Shapes and Forms Often, the advise is to place it on the same wall along (but not close to) the main door. (Around the main door location) Avoid placing it at the centrepoint of the house. 2. Flying Star Feng Shui Under Flying Star Feng Shui, locations that has #7 and or #6 (PLUS) also that this is a water location e.g. the living room area - can be considered acceptable for a water postion. But under Flying Star, becareful not to place a water position at locations which #3 or #4 or multiples of these bad wood element. The rationale is that such a water position can `inflame' bad wood fu…

Dear Yang Ming, Under the Eight House theory:- 1. How suitable is the house? Often, if `death or disaster' sector is at the main entrance for the breadwinner, this is already considered like the breadwinner having a `fractured' arm. 2. If the house also has a toilet at the centre of the house; then these are more leaks. More leaks translate to something like: a fractured arm to an `amputated leg'. 3. It is thus more important to understand all these. 4. In addition, under the Eight House, it is better to sleep in a good sector and nice to have sleeping with the head facing a good direction. 5. Other than the above, there is nothing magic about the Eight House. It has it's…

Dear Anon, Stand at the window(s) to see if the tree trunk slices into the home? If no, this is not a threat to your home. This can be seen as a "commonsense" approach. Often a dead tree is prone to rot / termites (if any). And because of this issue, it can be considered unhealthy. Warmest Regards, Cecil

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

Dear Anon, Since, the tree slices into the house (thru the main entrance): this is considered inauspicous. Or a threat to the house. The cul-de-sac is an added `burden' to the house. Thus, this is two bad / bad situations. No, it does not mean here that the cul-de-sac metal slices into the wood tree. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sandra, Often, house number is not a major issue under Feng Shui. It has more to do with one's culture. And numbers mean different things to different races and even dialect groups. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Frankly, there is no harm in placing a cross on your door. Often, when we read about Feng Shui, often it is not good to have two doors directly facing each other. This is because, there may be a possibility or a high probability of logger-heads between the two parties. For example, small things such as shoes strewn along the main enterance or noise coming from the neighbour. Even uneasyness of lack of privacy if both parties open their doors is considered unfavourable. Given all these, there is therefore a high chance of neighours being irritated with each other. A Lose-Lose situation? A lose-lose situation is when each party view the other with concern. For e…

Dear Flemming, 1. It depends. Most and foremost, one has to look at the layout plan of the interior of the house. 2. Often, since the living room and dining room are close or next to each other, the placement of the sofa has to be looked into under the context of the living room vs dining room. 3. Often, it is good to create two symbolic rectangles between the living room and dining room area. 4. Factors like the shape of the living/dinning room should be looked into closely. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Cecil Your site is well built, I found some answers to my problems but I am still puzzled with our new environment. My in-law just bought this house and we moved in with her. We stay in the master bedroom which I know there exists some problems; yet I know there's nothing as perfect. My husband's career has been very bad these days. Hence, I am attaching the floor plan of my bedroom hoping you can help us. My husband's birthday is April 19, 1953. My questions for my bedroom are as follows: 1) If we don't want to remove the mirrored cabinet doors (my husband is not convinced yet, and I want to prove it to him) is there any other way we can do? 2) He sleeps on the righ…

Dear David, 1. Water position includes: any fountain or fish tank. 2. In addition, colours such as blue, black or gray also represents water element. This is particularly so, for the interior of the home. 3. A water position outside of the house often is excluded under the above definition. Water position outside the house can be based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, To give an example of a `minor' leak:- A house can be very unsuitable to the breadwinner: i.e. death / disaster i.e. the front door. Often, this is considered as a major leak. If the main door is the `irritation' and `spook' sector, this can be considered as a `minor' leak. Some other simple minor leaks include e.g. a wall clock facing out of a living room window. Often, it is difficult for some of us to understand what are major and minor leaks. But, take it this way, any leak: major or minor may contribute to an accumulation of problems. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Cecil, I just moved this past weekend, and in the 72 hours flanking this move, I have had unbelievable bad luck. This might sound crazy, but I broke a mirror while trying to detach it from the wall of my old apartment. Two days later, all hell broke loose. I got into a car accident while driving down to my new apartment to pick up my new keys. The other driver was at fault, but he took off and left me with a huge dent in my civic's northwest corner--a classic hit and run which unfortunately, didn't give me enough time to get his license plate number. Then, 1 hour late, I drove to the U-haul place and suffered the condescending attitude of the male Korean owner who wa…

dear master lee, does it matter if sha qi is directed at the windows instead of the main door? if so, what about a ba gua or mirror to neutralise it? i'm not keen in the traditional geometric ba gua, can a normal circular mirror be used? does the size matter? last query, can i place the mirror, at the bottom of the window cos trying to hammer a nail above the window out of the eighth floor is ill-advised.thanks. regards stan

Dear White, 1. Frankly, this does not come under the perview of Feng Shui. 2. Often, it is based on location, location, location and the selling price. 3. But, currently with the glut in the property market i.e. where buyers are spoilt for choice, it really - unfortunately makes it much harder to sell even if it is near to the valuation price. 4. Overall, based on many Real Estate agent's advice: 4.1 Try not to clutter the house with too many furniture. 4.2 Try to touch up areas or walls that are dirty. Otherwise, Feng Shui is not the way to go, here. Unless, you can find good `Feng Shui' points. Here again, one man's meat is another man's poison. Wishing you all the b…

Dear Master Cecil, I have heard from my friends that the year of the Goat is not exactly a great year to be married in. So we are considering setting our wedding date for the Chinese wedding ceremony in the year of the Monkey. Please advice us on when it is more auspicious to get married in the year of the Monkey. If you would like to know, I belong to the fire Snake(1977), whilst my husBand-to-be belongs to the fire Rabbit (1975). Thank you so so much in helping us.
