Dear Serene, It would be best to tie a red string with the 6 coinst tied together. This is preferred if one is using 6 coins. The rationale is because fire element (red) can help to bind or control metal element (especially if it consists of 6 metal or big metal element). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Alan, Yes, based on your attachment, the layout is the most favourable (nw-bedplacement-1.gif) based on Shapes and Form Feng Shui. An alternative file: nw-bedplacement-2.gif shows the next best alternative (less the placement of the dressing table - as it is a poison arrow aimed partially at the bed. The dressing table should be placed further away or tilted away (if it does not have a dressing mirror on it). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Further to what I had mentioned earlier, I do not favour floor tiles for the entire house with the checked design (sample shown attached) nor floor tiles entirely black in colour especially for the entire living room area. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Thank you for your sketch. Based on your sketch, it looks like your bed has been placed in a good Shapes and Form layout plan. To confirm, please refer to the attached file and the markings indicated:- Marking `A' preferably your bedroom door should be located here. Marking `C' - windows on this side Marking `D and E' - preferably, the bed should rest against a solid wall. And it is acceptable to have windows on the side of the bedroom at location marked `D' and/or `E'. Frankly, under the Eight House Theory ( East/West Group) of persons, there is not much one can do other than to move room. For those, who want to go further into more advanced Feng Shui can ex…

Dear Chloe Lin, 1. Yes, it is not a good idea to use a urn. 2. Since the cul de sac is basically of the `metal element' i.e. imagine it as a metal sickle / knife slicing into your home, a better controlling item is red as mentioned earlier to you. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Carlos, In the future, it is best not to use all CAPs. Although you may not be aware, CAPs imply shouting. Please see below:- If the cabinet goes along the facade of the wall, there should no longer be any poison arrow to worry about. THE SECOND. HAVE I DONE Most probably, after next lunar year (after Year of the Horse) you do not need an extra six coins). For the mirrors, do check whetehr the sector is auspicious or inauspicious. If it is inauspicious, it is est not to place a mirror on either sides as it may bounce back twice the bad luck. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Songwut, 1. In my opinion, the confusion you faced is because of how the Dragon and Tiger are interpreted. 2. There are two ways at looking at the Dragon and Tiger concepts:- 2.1 A pictorial representation. 2.2 Based on compass directions. 3. A PICTORIAL REPRESENTATION 3.1 In the past it is common to use pictures to tell a story. This is the easiest way to illustrate the subject on Shapes and Form Feng Shui. 3.2 Thus, one hears of the good qualities of the dragon embracing the tiger. 3.3 Here, under a pictorial representation, if one is looking out of the house, the dragon is always associated to be on the right side while the tiger is on the left side. 3.4 Logicall…

Dear Janice, The 6 coin cure is related to the assessment done under the Flying Star Feng Shui. Here, 6 coins represent `Big metal' or strong metal element. It is used to `destroy' or `neutralise' bad numbers under the Flying Star numerology. As this cure involves the Five elements concept, you may have to first read up or understand the Five elements concept first. Before, progressing to understand how the Flying Star Feng Shui can help you. My advise is to take your time to understand the various concepts in particular:- 1. What is the purpose of each concept. 2. What are it's strengths and weakness. 3. How to apply them effectively. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Thank you for bring up such an interesting question. 2. To help everyone understand better, one of this options can be related to a particular Chinese `custom'. 3. Before we go into this question, it is interesting to understand this... 3.1 When the communist took over China, Feng Shui practises were suppressed in that country. Many Chinese fled to two major countries i.e. Taiwan and Hong Kong. (Many more fled to the Far East). 3.2 But it is interesting to note here is that the majority that fled to Taiwan are the Hokkiens from Fukien province. 3.3 While those that fled to Hong Kong are from Canton, the Cantonese. 4. Since, Hong Kong became a British colony…

Dear Anon, I have friends who have a similar chair as yours. It is ok to place it at your entrance area or in the living room area. - If it is placed at the entrance area, it is best to place it facing the main entrance. - If it is in the living room area, best to place if facing `out' e.g. facing a window or door. This is still acceptable. Although my preference is that it is placed at the entrance area. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, In my opinion, the main issue is related to where the fish tank is placed. If it is close to the centre-point of the house, this is highly inauspicious. Frankly, so far, I have not commonly seen a fish tank facing the bedroom. If you can, try to see if there is a better place e.g. in the living room area if possible. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Bato, 1. In my opinion, it is easier to reply to your question if the placement is more of a hobby. 2. But if it is meant more for Feng Shui, then there are usually more considerations:- 2.1 In General:- It is still acceptable to place a fish tank along the wall area especially the living room area. 2.2 More specific:- - it is to avoid the placement of a water position close to the centrepoint of the house - be careful of placing water positions especially if the breadwinner and spouse are either `weak fire' or `strong water' persons. For example, water can further extinguish a weak fire element person. And water is not favourable to a strong water person. 3. Lookin…

Dear Anon, In my opinion, go for the alternative that makes you more comfortable. For mirrors on doors or wall, frankly, one can still do something e.g. temporary pasting of a poster or buying off the self opaque film that can be placed on the mirrors. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, you must have picked up the tip from a book written with `sector Feng Shui'. 2. From what I can see, in normal situations, there is relatively no issue or problem with regards to the placement of candles in your living hall or kitchen. 3. In my opinion also, real fire is more `unusual' than any of the other 4 elements e.g. water, wood, metal and earth. In that candles relate more to Yang energy - enhancement of Qi rather than `sha qi'. 4. I believe, some FS practitioners (if they are practising Flying Star (Xuan Kong Fei Xing) may be worried about this. Since, under the Five elements concept, fire produces earth. And because #5 (misfortune, si…

Dear Anon, Not so much of Feng Shui, but do give an air of confidence. It is best to use tips relating to interviews than Feng Shui to work effectively. Under Chinese Astrology, it is good that the date /time of interview is an auspicious time. Otherwise, there is not much use of it. Wishing your husband best of luck in his interview! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Thank you for bringing up such an interesting observation. 1. Symbolism or importance of it is one of the key components in Feng Shui. 2. Since your finance is affected after doing so, it is prudent to see if you can correct it. 3. "The Customer Service Engineer Concept pr CSE Concept." Sometimeback, I coined this term because it is a useful term to remember. 4. Let me share with you this little observation. 4.1 In the past, I saw this incident: 4.2 This IBM machine (at a remote site) was giving intermittent communication problem with the host for many months. And remained unsolved. 4.3 Most of junior IBM Customer Service Engineers (CSE) could not solve this …

Dear Mun Hon, Please see below:- 1. Most importantly, sector Feng Shui or paying homage to a sector is not a realistic way to practise Feng Shui. 2. The rationale is because it is too general to be of use for anyone. Statistically, it makes no sense to relate SW = romance sector. 3. In many of the past examples, I given such an example:- 4. Assuming that SW = romance sector, what happens if three of us are intrested in a new employee? 5. Based on the `romance sector theory' that we often read from some books, it says that we have to enhance it. 6. In my case, I place 1 rose on my SW sector. While, you have heard me doing so and decided to place 99 roses on your work …

Dear Wasis, In my opinion, it is best not to practise Feng Shui in relation to a direction and its related colour or element. The rationale is because, it is too general without considering the birth chart of a house. Instead, you can perhaps look at the two theories:- 1. Protect, protect, protect. Stand a the main door and look out of the house. Are there any threats? If so, appropriate cure(s) should be used. Without relating to whether, e.g. North = water. As sometimes, two potted plants can be used to neutralise a poison arrow etc... 2. Flying Star Feng Shui Use this instead to look at the sector. As it involves three element relations and the 81-combinations of the …

Dear Anon, Symbollically, it is not good Feng Shui to have a cracks e.g. hairline cracks on the main door. But I personally, feel that this is secondary, to the Feng Shui of the house. One can still do some minor repairs e.g. using silcone as a temporary solution. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Majority of homes at Cul-De-Sac; don't have such a configuration as mentioned, below; or else; based on the book of Yang Zhia Shi Shu; how one places one's home in relation to other homes can affect health or even leading to death... Enclosed please find a picture of a house where death would occur twice. This is based on the book Yang Zhai Shi Shu http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=19&mid=2701&new= Therefore, many people prefer to play safe and buy homes that are in uniform rows that don't meander or be in a cul-de-sac. Just imagine, in some cul-de-sac homes, there can be similar layout as shown in the above URL! This is an actual case…

Dear Rosemarie, 1. If one is applying the `formula' or the Gua number, it is best to apply a specific site's interpretation from begining to the end. 2. The rationale is because, if one uses the steps provided by e.g. each site one should as a end result get the same answers. 3. I cannot blame you for getting confused especially, if one reads a few lines from one site and follow another set of guidelines from another e.g. book. Here, again, I must emphasise, you have to read totally the instructions from a site and follow it. 4. Rationale, why many are confused:- 4.1 The original template or Chinese compass uses the magnetic South to North. While the western uses North to…

Dear Tracy, Thank you for bring up this interesting question. 1. Stagnant water is always referred to as bad. For example, it is always considered highly inauspicious if one has a well at the front of the house. It is feared that a well (still water) is `host' for evil spirits. 2. Pagodas were built along water veins. And pagodas were built on sites to neutralise such Sha Qi. 3. Water Feng Shui also considers which direction the water flows. 3.1 In this example, url: http://www.geomancy.net/review/tropica/index.htm 3.2 You will find the statement " For example, two cities in China i.e. Amoy and Canton are situated at this Dragon-Tiger gate. This is where t…

Dear Wendy, 1. Thank you for bringing up an interesting question. 2. It is also related to complexities of the human beings. Here, our up bringing and `tolerance' comes to play. And as we are aware, each of us vary in this aspect. 3. On a commonsense approach to Feng Shui, if we happen to live in an apartment, it is always preferred to have our main door at a private area. As opposed to facing a neighbours (more from a privacy issue). 4. But, let's say our neighours are the `untidy' sort and leave their shoes scattered around the common enclosed space. Sometimes even end up at our door steps. 5. Some of us may be tolerant, while others may not. Some neighbours are noisy …

Dear Anon, Thank you for your layout plan. From the looks of your building there is relatively no need for a Ba Gua mirror. Since your main door, behind it is well protected from any Sha Qi. If there is a need to place a Ba Gua mirror, I have attached the location marked by a red dot. Warmest Regards, Cecil
