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

Dear Hardjo, A poster bed is useful if there is a slanted ceiling. The four posts hold e.g. laced cloth. And with it, it will negate the sha qi. Enclosed please find a sample of a poster bed. Many poster beds does not have a roof as shown in the picture. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Thank you for bring up an interesting question. A career related to fire element is always considered as your wealth element. Here, there is a distinction between whether you are weak or not. Even if you are weak, your career with wealth is still the Fire element. If you are in a career related with Fire, for a weak water person, you need to strengthen your weak water with metal element to benefit from such a career. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- By definition, brown (and green) belongs to the wood element. For example, oak, teak, american cherry wood (dark or light) etc.. belong to the wood element in lieu that their colour is brown. Where it comes to pine, it is still wood element but an experienced Feng Shui practitioner would ask their clients to avoid this type of material i.e. pine ( sold in IKEA ) as it resembles closer to `yellow' or earth element. Therefore, if in doubt, a FS practitioner would normally, try to advise their clients to go more for other popular wook grains such as teak and the popular cherry wood type of colour. 1. For most shapes, colour takes precede…

Dear Anon, Although the East/West Group of persons concept is applicable here, it is best that the shapes and form of the apartment is acceptable: 1. The house should have few missing corners or odd shape. 2. Find out more of the history of the rental apartment (usually this is not an issue most of the time). Not compulsory thou. 3. Although NW is your accident direction, do check out what is the intangible force in the bedroom. If the intangible force in the bedroom is equally inauspicious e.g. deather, then it is best not to take up the rental. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Tammie, Frankly, if anyone ask me 5 or 6 years ago, I may think that way i.e. what you had mentioned. But since then, I have looked at many homes and do not see a correlation that a noisy place drives off fortune. However, contrary to this, under Flying Star Feng Shui, if a location has a combination of two specific bad #numbers that needs quiet at a location, then, what you mentioned, holds true. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Peck Wun, Yes, it is preferred that an altar does not face the main entrance. Here, it is considered disrespectful as you are asking guan yin to guard your door for you. If you can, (if possible) although the altar can be located facing the main door, where possible, try to see if guan yin be facing towards a wall instead of directly, facing the main door. Avoid, tilting guan yin but as mentioned above, see if you can allow her to face e.g the wall next to the main entrance. Or alternatively, change the location (if possible) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear All, In this second part, one can also see how often, many FS practitioners get their Ba Zi wrong. In fact, these two case studies are real life examples, where, these two persons, were `mislead' to think that their elements were i.e in the first earlier example - strong earth. While in this second example, they were told that the analysis resulted in this case as a weak earth. This example shows how, this person especially due to double combinations of his element became a `strong earth' person. Depends on how comprehensive the analysis, most of the analysis takes only the basic 4 pillars. Thus the resulting elements would be:- 1 Water 2 Earth 2 Wood 1 Fire 2 Metal …

Dear Pauline, 1. For a fountain, do not automatically regard the statemenst of North or SE for the placement of a fountain. 2. If your fountain is low level i.e. not more than 1 foot high, then it should be placed in a `clear space' area. The balcony area is the best choice for a fountain. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Yew-Meng, Please see below:- Thank you for your sketch. Yes, it is a great help to understand your present situation. Note: For those, who want a more exact response, feel free to attach a sketch. As the saying goes `a picture is worth a thousand words. My observations from your sketch are as follows:- 1. The river bending outwards of your `frontage' of your house looks good. 2. It would normally be better if the water flow is flowing from compass direction "West" to "East". In your sketch, it looks like the water flow is based on this west to east approach. Here, the perception is that it is better in such a situation as negative ions can be present. 3. Your…

Dear Michael, Please see below:- A Professional Geomancer or FS practitioner will not mix the sale of products with consultancy. If these two are placed together, then such a practise often becomes unreliable. Take a parallel situation. The case of Arthur Anderson situation. Arthur Anderson, which suppose to have a core business of accountancy, has side business e.g. management consultancy services. And, in such a situation, the accounting side would close their eyes since, they are earning lucrative money on consultancy services. Although Feng Shui is not as sophisticated as this, we can draw a parallel here. A Feng Shui site that provides both advise and selling e.g…

Dear George, Frankly, it is not exactly Feng Shui. But overall, it is certainly nice to have birds around! In Feng Shui, we call this the secret ingredient. Or, birds around or close to the house is a `secret' ingredient. Usually, where there are birds, it normally suggests greenery. I am not sure, if this is the case, but, a garden with birds or birds coming into the estate in most instances means greenry around. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- Since your home is under renovation, a simple solution is the use of white e.g. white (to represent) additional metal element to neutralise #4. This is of secondary consideration. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Eleni, In my opinion, sector Feng Shui or paying homage to a sector is too general. "Paying homage" to a sector or even if the sector is missing may not necessary mean it is the marriage sector. It is best to look at Feng Shui from a holistic approach. Warmest Regards, Cecil
