Dear Santanu, Please see below:- Currently, even with the Chinese 7th month, I am currently very busy with continously never ending stream of audits and may take sometime to reply to all the questions posted here. I am Santanu Biswas - My date of birth: The most practical approach in applying Feng Shui is via "priorities". Here, we should be aware of what are CRITICAL and what are NICE-TO-HAVE situations: Critical issues: 1. Shapes and Forms of the room 1.1 Often, our placement of beds and furniture e.g. work/study table has much to do with the layout of a bedroom: where is the bedroom door, what shape does the bedroom take? where is the toilet, toilet door; w…

Dear Michael, In Mandarin; gift of a clock (phonetic - sounds like) "sending one to a funeral ". Thus, many Chinese never accept a clock as a gift. As since you are not a Chinese, the main excuse is that you do not use the Chinese mandarin language and thus, is ignorant of this. I believe, this has to do more with "culture" and "culture shock" than Feng Shui. Since, one culture's practise does not necessarily mean anything bad to another culture. Thus in the west; a clock or "sounds like" does not resemble anything inauspicious - I personally feel that it should not be a major issue for another culture. Be it a western culture. For example, in some Chinese dialect group, …

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 Sor Lan, Please see below:- Before touching on with your question, in the past, I have mentioned on two issues: 1. double decker beds ===================== Previously, there were some concerns that double decker beds are unhealthy for the young. But, in my opinion, and also that many (many) people have actually slept in a double decker bed, there is really no issue here. Some FS practitioners spell out the notion that the person sleeping at the lower decker is like having a beam above their head. I personally do not agree with this argument. This is because unlike a beam (concentrated) at the specific spot, the upper bed is relatively flat and does not exert an…

Hi, My brother gave me a pair of white color Chi Lin (one with a ball and the otherwith a baby) for my house warming. I have been placing themin the house near the main door. However, they are placed on the same side of the wall of the main door (not facing the door) below a console table right beside my main door. I came to know later thatChi Lin should be placed near the door orwindow facing outwards. I am now concerned whether the placing of my Chi Lin is wrong. Please advise. Can you also clarify whether Tien Lu is similar to Pi Xiu and Pi Yao. Thanks!

Dear Elena, 1. Your observations are to the `point':) 2. If it is a Chinese restaurant, two lion white statues as those commonly seen on both sides of the main entrance door would be good. 3. More importantly, you have pointed out that the frontage (clear space has been hindered by the 25 storey building. 4. You are correct to say, that one method would be to use neon lighting here. This would certainly create a more `yang' environment. 5. Currently, Shapes and Form can in my opinion, provide a quantum leap first. 6. For the `breadwinner/owner', if you have a problem determing who, it should be the eldest `partner'. Sleeping Partners should be excluded here. Warmest Rega…

Dear Thanh, I personally feel that it would be a good idea on your part to include a small water fountain in your facial room. This is because this is a place of business and I personally find the `soothing sound' of water flowing...more for relaxing and rest.. Unlike in a bedroom where it should not be there. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kenneth, In the past, I had actually written quite alot of guidelines and practises on the number of fishes and even the type of stand used a various locations. In general, one School of thought (Flying Star) use the numbers: 7 gold fishes represent metal element and 1 black gold fish represents water element. Thus often, one recommendation could be: 7 gold and 1 black. Since the probability of one of the 7 gold fish(es) dying is much greater than say 1 black, then even if the 7 gold fishes are or were reduced to 6, 6 still represents big metal. Hence, under the productive cycle, metal supports water. Well, frankly, the above talks often only about gold fishe…

Dear Anon, In the `Holy Trinity' of Chinese destiny and astrology:- 1. Heaven's Luck This is our given luck. 2. Earth Luck 2.1 Here, a percentage of our earth luck (Feng Shui) can influence `romance/relationships'. 2.2 Shapes and Forms and Compass School Feng Shui. A simple example of how romance can influence us is: often, if the `mouth' of our house is big e.g. on the frontage area, there is both a main entrance as well as a patio area where often, the owners - fully open the sliding door area of this patio/living room. Often in such a situation, children may not get married or remain bachelors .... 2.3 Flying Star Feng Shui In some homes, combination of star numbers h…

Dear Peck Wun, 1. I hope you can understand that there are alreay available resources on this. Plus, there are lots of examples and even actual cases of how centrepoint was derived in attachments by uses. 2. For a lay person who wants to understand better, then go to this resource: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm Look at the example of how, one can copy the layout; glue it on a cardboard, cut-it out and try to balance it on a pin. The centrepoint is all about: the centre of graivty. This is particularly possible if the house has lots of indents. But if the house is `L' shaped, then divide the home into two or more rectangles. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Frankly, in my opinion, higher floors are often less of a concern of being "dirty". Majority of "dirty" homes are either ground floor upto usually 4 or 5th storeys high even for a weekend house. 2. Drawing a proper Flying Star chart can often hold a tell-tale sign especially if there are high concentrations of "yin" stars in a specific sector e.g. a vacant bedroom. 3. In general, if you have brought all your family members to the apartment and do check with them how they feel about the home. 4. Otherwise, get professional help from Geomaners to do a Feng Shui audit. Many of us, especially with our specialsed luo pan is able to "detect" such entities (or non-entities…

Dear Angelina, Under the Eight House theory: 1. Determine who is the breadwinner (or the person who brings back the most money.) If the earnings is nearly the same, then preference is for the breadwinner to be the (male) husband of the house. 2. It is best to find the most suitable house for the breadwinner. The most suitable house is `Excellent' sector at the main entrance. The main entrance can also be the three other good sectors e.g. Prosperity, Health and Longevity. 3. For the other spouse; try find a house where it is good for say the husband under para 2. and for the wife, it can be other intangible forces such as `spook' or `irritation' at the main entrance. 4. …

Dear Beth, Thank you for your information about yourself. To be frank, there are two considerations: 1. the office environment, may not be congenial for your type of work or 2. the job may not be suitable for yourself or may not have good support e.g. work companions. Or other aspects relating to other `sciences' such as Human Resource topics of motivation or even organization behaviour type of analysis. So far, Feng Shui is a holistic method and has several key concepts and theories and thus, at this stage it is difficult to pin-point whether Feng Shui can or cannot help in your office. For the office environment, one usually does not have any say as to the layout and ev…

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 Anon, I hope you can understand that since no two homes are identical or similar, it is quite difficult to place an exact percentage to a home. But often, especially in Asia the concept "the rich gets richer" remains very true for the fact that they often can buy beautiful sites to build their homes. The ideal type of homes are considered to have a "quantum leap" in Feng Shui. Which I had already shared some of the information. These types of homes usually have the characteristics of excellent external shapes and forms. While some others "borrow" or rather "rob" luck from others. Under the second category "rob" luck, here, you will often see a Geomancer scanning …

Dear Florida, In my opinion, you can consider this (ceramic money tree with children on it) as a decorative piece. For this decorative piece, since it does not have any major significance associated with a specific deity/god, feel free to place it anywhere you personally feel comfortable with. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, In my opinion, there is really no issue with the red stain. Symbollically, instead, one should not use a cracked &/orchipped Hulu. Thus what you had mentioned is perfectly OK. Can still be used. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. In real life situations; we should consider concepts under the Eight house as "NICE-to-have" and not a "MUST-have". 2. It is best to find outwhat is the true purpose of the eight house theory and what are it's strengths and limitations:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Three-Step-Approach 3. It works "best" when one is actively searching to buy a new home or remodelling a complete new home. 3.1. Here, it is good to locate sectors are good for us, as bedrooms or locations that we spent most time at. 3.2 Next best is to see if we can sit facing one of our better directions. Other than the above, the theory is limited. As in a real life practical world, often, th…

Dear Kaushal, 1. Yes, some families use incense e.g. on a specific day of the week in their home. 2. Overall, it is not compulsory to use them especially if the air nearby is `clean' especially, if one lives in a landed property and there are trees or parks nearby. 3. There are `antiseptic' cleaners especially those used at hospitals for those who believe in them. Or the regular Dettol where a few drops are added to the pail of water. 4. The best `defense'is still living in a area (where possible) with clean surroundings. At home, try to ensure that the house has natural lighting and looks `bright'. Warmest Regards, Cecil
