Arguments when decorating my home

Dear Yasmin, 1. Usually, and most often, decorating a home or doing all the planning and shifting to a new home can be `taxing' considering that, one has to get on with our lives e.g. work, family commitments. 2. If one is applying Feng Shui and choice of colours, it should not be an issue; since, a proper reading can tell which colours are best for both parties e.g. binding element: best colour for the master bedroom, and colours for the living/dining and even colour scheme for other family members. 3. Otherwise, any other type of application of Feng Shui is akin to `throwing' a random dice. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Yes, usually, the garage should not be included. 1. A main door can still be at the middle of the rectangular. If so, check for external threats. And internally, it should best not be too close to the centrepoint of the house. 2. And, where possible, qi should not leak directly out of e.g. the back window (if any). 3. I personally wish, if users to post such questions, it is best to attach a sketch. 4. My current reply is based on my personal perception of your question; whether it has been interpreted rightly or wrongly; I cannot say for sure:( Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Appreciate if you can clarify whether you meant 160 degrees to the North (to the right) or 160 degrees to the North - to the left). 2. Usually, a protractor is an addition. We must need to use the magnetic or ordinary compass first to find the exact North-South bearing. And make a confirmation using the East-West. 3. Next, we need to determine the centrepoint of the house. 4. Only then we can use say the protractor to look at the layout plan. 5. Please take a look again at the sample protractor. It has an outer ring: starting from clock wise, we start from 0 degrees, to 90 degrees to 180 degrees to 270 degrees. 6. Once we align the protractor's North-South,…

Dear Mimi, Sound economic sense previals over Feng Shui with regards to setting up a business: 1. What is the pedestrian traffic flow to the shopping centre? 2. Is this shopping centre meant for a specific type of business e.g. electronics plaza? health/health science related shopping centre? 3. What is the business model / business plan i.e. is the business viable? Or is the business based on hope or a fad? 4. For example, three to four years back, I often receive calls from `businessmen' who wanted me to Feng Shui, their (Taiwanese) model of `bubble tea' outlets. 5. These bubble tea is roughly the equavalent of something like the western " milk shake " business. These …

Dear Judith, 1. It would be best to see what type of dragon design is on the calendar. 2. If it is a simple cartoon dragon with body `flying' around, there is no issue. 3. If it is a fierce looking dragon especially with 5 claws, it is best that the room has at least a window. Avoid placing it in a room without any windows. Overall, if it is just a piece of outline art with the monthly calendar superimposed on it, usually there may not be an issue here. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, When confronted with such issues, we can logically:- 1. How long have u stayed in this house? 2. If one has stayed in the home for more than 6 months and do not encounter obstacles especially financial or health, then, the tree is not a major problem. But if it does, than, it is a potential threat to the breadwinner. 3. It is true that if the tree `mysteriously disappear' *JOKE* or has been removed, then there is no issue. 4. If it does not slice thru your main door directly, then usually this is not a threat to your main door. 5. If despite of Para 4, one faces problems, then, try to check for other leaks (either several minor leaks) or a combination of one o…

Dear Anon, 1. Yes, I know of some FS practitioners are selling them. 2. Frankly, the eight rod wind chime is a modern invention. 2.1 The reason why I call this a modern invention is because, the Chinese dialect group Cantonese, likes the phonetic sound of `8' or Fatt, or prospertiy. 2.2 Because of this connotation, the trend or fad for the eight rod wind chime started or originated from Hong Kong. 2.3 Locally, I believe some FS practitioners also `catch' on with this. Not so much of its proper use but rather, in my opinion, a profit element. 2.4 Imagine, the cost price of such items can be as low as a few dollars. (Especially if they are manufactured in bulk and with low…

Dear Jen, 1. Attached please find an illustration of how one can use a protractor to find the main entrance door. 2. A protractor can either be a 360 degrees one as shown in the attached. Or even a 180 degrees protractor is still possible to use. 3. In my opinion, a protractor similar to the one in the picture can easily be purchased in a book or stationery store. And such a protractor costs between US$1 to US$4 or less. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Vijay, 1. Usually, we have to be pragmatic when applying Flying Star or the Eight sectors. 2. If our house or apartment is small to medium sized e.g. 800 sq feet to 3,000 sq feet, usually we do not need to subdivide the house into various sectors. Especially if we own the entire house. 3. In a house environment, if we are using Flying Star, more important considerations are the frontage and the back of the house. 4. However, I would agree with you, that in some cases, it would be good to do sub-sectional Feng Shui for offices. This is because, many individual offices do have their own internal floor area and their specific main door. 5. For a home, I would recommend …

Dear Kayte, 1. It is advantages for you to plot both the Period 6 and Period 7 Flying Star chart especially if you had already stayed in the house for at least a few years. 2. Firstly, look at it this way: "No harm". Why? 3. This is because, if one had stayed in the house for sometime, one can see which charts are more accurate. For example, if any of the bedrooms are in the East or South, or especially at the East, and if family members had being staying in the `East' room for sometime without any issues on health; then, the chart closely mimic that of a Period 6 house. 4. It does not matter, therefore, if one is advised to use Period 6, 7 or even later period 8. 5. When…

Dear Maree, In my opinion, once a body gets cremated and resultant = ash, this material is considered `neutral'. From my past experience, there is no ill effects in keeping it in the home. However, it is best to place the container in a `respectable' location. For example, on a high table (not within reach of children). And try to place it:- 1. If there is a specific table just for it; this is ok. 2. On this table, a bouquet of flowers (artificial) also can. 3. Avoid placing this table facing the dining table. 4. Avoid having it's back against the same wall as the toilet. 5. Avoid placing the jar in the kitchen, kitchen cabinet or in the store room. Warmest Regards, Ceci…

Dear Hoa, Please see below:- No need since there are already a 6 plus a 7. It is preferred to use a constant chime e.g. like a pendulum clock or constant metal instead of hanging two sets of 6 coins. Yes, given that there is a strong bad earth #2 plus a #3. And that #7 x 2 is quite weak to redress the #2 (although it can still cope with #3). A set of 6 coins would help here.

Dear Anon, 1. I hope you can understand that the advice given is very general. 2. In Feng Shui there is always no two situation that is alike. Especially since many of us have different personal birth charts and the birth charts of family members. 3. As you can see, if you browse thru this forum, there are many variable and situations. 4. If you are refering to the East/West group or Eight House Charts; this is only one of the zig-saw puzzles. 5. I will always emphaise that, everyone must know the Purpose, Strength and Weakness of each concept. 6. It is always good to have the house fit the breadwinners. As this will reduce one `handicap'.

Dear Spring, Please don't despair. With regards to the house Feng Shui, you mentioned that your bedroom is on the `east side'. Try to stand at the centrepoint of the house and use an ordinary compass to check to see if your bedroom is at the compass direction east. If your house was built or had a major renovation done between 1984 to 2003; most likely if your bedroom is at the `East'; for last year there will defintely be a Yearly #5 (misfortune and sickness) at that sector. This does not include at least a base #5 (misfortune and sickness) star at East. And usually there is another #5 or #2 in this location. If so, for Lunar New Year starting from 1 February 2003, the …

For Year of Horse 2002, Grand Duke is sitting at 180 degrees facing North 0 degrees. 3.1 Exactly opposite the Grand Duke is known as the 3 killings location. 3.2 For the Grand Duke at 180 degrees, must avoid disturbing or touching him. 3.3 For the 3 killings location, simply avoid any renovations at this sector for Year of Horse 2003 (only). 4. For Year of the Water Goat, 2003, Grand Duke will be moving towards SSW 210 degrees. And the 3 killings is at 30 degrees. (Apologies Please ignore any of my recent postings a…

Dear Veronica, 1. Frankly, it is best to keep the toilet door closed when not in use. And keep the toilet clean and airy. 2. To `side-track'; for the toilet, from a Feng Shui point of view; toilet qi should be `flushed' away or dissipated as soon as possible. 3. And ideally, at least one side of the wall should share an external wall. If the toilet has ventilation glass at this side (external wall) it is best to open them. 4. For your son's bedroom, make sure that the windows are opened and the room is well ventilated. But if he usually sleeps in an aircon environment, closing the windows is ok. 5. This not necessary but, personally I use three sets of Honeywell and 1 Am…

Dear Lisa, 1. Yes, it is very common to find such a situation in high rise office buildings. 2. Do you have a back (side) cabinet. If you do have a row of cabinet behind your desk; this would be advantages. 3. As this is symbolic of a mountain behind you. On top of this back cabinet, you can also place e.g. a simple paper weight e.g. made of brass or even a crystal. 4. If the back also has blinds, it is best to draw it closed also. Note: The only caution is if a specific set of windows has been earmarked with a red triangle; which is meant for fireman's access, then, one cannot place any of the above at the location.

Dear Jen, 1. The worst location to touch or disturb from 1 February 2003 (1st day of Lunar New Year) is South at 220 degrees. 2. This direction is where the Grand Duke of Jupiter is suppose to be sitting. And it is very inauspicious to disturb or touch him. It may bring several years of bad luck. 3.

Therefore if Grand Duke is sitting at 220 degrees, than this coming Goat year 2003, the 3-killings is located at 40 degrees. Please see below:- Note: True magnetic compass direction at 40 degrees.
