Thank you for your reply. Regarding drawing the sectors, our unit is an elongated rectangle, so there is a difference if I draw wedges or 9 rectangles. For instance, according to the 9 rectangles all of my son's room is in the south, whereas by the wedges radiating from the center at least half of it is in the southwest. My question about the computer was, how to decide in which sector to put it and which direction it should face, if the different users have different good or bad sectors or directions? Should I make it best for the person who spends the most hours at it? Or for the person who is in charge of technical maintenance and knows the most about it? Thank you Mir…

Dear Anon, 1. I assume here is that there is an open window facing the sharp pointed roof of your neighbours'. 2. If the above is true, then the concept " if it cannot be seen, it no longer becomes a threat' can be applied. 3. You can use a day curtain to screen the house from the pointed sharp edge. 4. If this is a solid wall and even if there is a pointed edge, it has no impact on your master bedroom. 5. It is common for a Ba Gua, can be used to neutralise such Sha (poison arrow) Qi. 6. It is best to stand at the window to confirm by looking out to guage if the sharp edge really points to your bedroom. If it is on the side, this is usually not a threat. Warmest Regards…

Dear Ajay, 1. What you mentioned is a simplistic view of Feng Shui. 2. Unfortunately, this type of Feng Shui is can best be described as `Kindergarten Feng Shui'. 3.These statements are too generalised. As it seems to be a model mass produced for the entire world. 4. For example, there is no basis to say that all NE directions is the knowlege area for all people, all over the world. A similiar example is that some Feng Shui practitioners highlight that South-West is our romance sector. This is not possible for everyone in the entire world. Please see below:- The more appropriate way to look at the issue is:- 1. The sector evaluated under Flying Star Feng Shui. 2. If o…

Dear Julie, Frankly, there are lots of consideration in Feng Shui: 1. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. This is the most important consideration when picking a future house. For example, even if a direction is good to a breadwinner but if the Shapes and Forms is `lousy', it is as good as not finding a good home. 2. For homes that are more suited to you, you can try to use the Eight House Theory or find out more on how to use it:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm 3. For a plot of land, it is detrimental to make the house suit one e.g. by having the main door facing e.g. a hill - even if this is the most suitable door direction. This may bring calamity to the family. The ho…

Dear Dragana, Please see below:- Some Feng Shui practitoners say that South-West is the romance sector. In my opinion, this is too general. As it implies that every house on the planet has e.g. a love corner at a spot marked `X'. However, there is relatively no harm in placing a pair of mandarin duck. The only `harm' is that one burns an unnecessary `hole' in the pocket. The one who ultimately gains is the seller of such highly marked up products - that's all. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. It is common (even locally in Singapore) for some Feng Shui practitioners to coin the idea of the wealth corner. 2. In fact, this is what the consumer wants. And some or many of such Feng Shui practitioners would be most happy to impart the idea. And if it makes the consumer happy, then to this practitioners it is fine to them. 3. In fact, on many many occasions even when I do local Feng Shui audits, 8 out of 10 clients would after the audit ask me where is their wealth corner? 4. As mentioned locally, many Feng Shui practitioners would (some based on their own concepts and ideas would `convince' the owner) that their wealth sector is at `X' marks the spot. …

Dear Michael, In my opinion, Traditional Feng Shui Schools do not practise fixed Ba Gua template or `Black Hat Sect' Feng Shui. Try to do a SEARCH in this forum for `Black Hat' and you can find out the answers why it is not applied here or by any other Traditional Feng Shui Schools. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Guek Rian, 1. In my opinion, don't shift your heavy projection TV as yet. 2. Basically, each floor has a certain kilo newton weight load bearing. 3. More importantly, the concept of clear space is directed at the main entrance area. Distinct from what is placed above this structure. With sufficient engineering load bearing for the upper floors, since the location where you placed the projector is not the main entrance area; there is relatively no issue here. Therefore, do not apply the mountain star too rigidly or literally speaking. Warmest Regards, Cecil

A row of bush rather than a partition of trees would be a better choice. If you are using trees, they usually end up growing tall and `beyond control' after 3 to 4 years. And a row of trees need to be planted spaced out at least 2 to 3 feet from each other. Depending on the type of tree, they often leave behind a huge area of shadow below the tree making the area, too yin. Contrast this with lower shrubs or bushes or simply, creepers on fencing which are much easier to maintain. Since the water tanks are covered up often this is no longer a major issue. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- 2. A stationary metal cure e.g. 6-coins in cases where there are a combination of bad wood plus bad earth (especially #5) may not be enough. 3. An alternative is to place the 6-coins into a glass jar (the size of a jam jar) and add a spoonful of salt. Water is filled to between 1/3 to 1/2 (of the jam jar) or covering the surface of all the 6-coins. This is one way to activate a constant flow of metal. 4. Frankly, no one can tell exactly which is better i.e. a clock pendulum or a music pendulum. As it varies with the manufacturer and size of the object. 5. A simple test is by-the-ear. So long as one can hear a distinct `tick-tock' sound in…

Dear Yoyo, Please see below:- Here, usually, one would have a back (side partition) or back cabinet. If so, this is an acceptable configuration. And, many office cublices or rooms have this type of configuration. - Not to worry too much. Frankly, both are the same. But a clock has utility i.e. looking at time. While a music pendulum, simply makes a repeated sound. Both are ok. But, in my opinion, I am not too sure if the music pendulum is made to last that long (perhaps if it runs on battery?) as compared to a pendulum clock. Frankly, I have not used a music pendulum, so cannot really fully comment on it. Warmest Regards Cecil

Dear Peck Wun, Frankly, there is no issue with trying to repaint the wrought iron grille. In many situations, unless, it is a major clash or the colours are out of the ordinary e.g. bright red or bright blue. The `natural' colour of what is suppose to be wrought iron grille colour is overall an acceptable colour. Since it has both gold and black. Gold represents metal and black represents water. Metal and Water are acceptable combinations. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jennifer, Try to do abit more homework to check for any other leaks in the home. Most common `major' leaks are:- 1. Location of toilet (at centre-point or next to main door area). 2. When entering main door, one can see the back (or qi flows impeded from front door to the back. 3. Stand inside the house i.e. stand at the main door looking out of the house and also from all various windows lookig out of the house. 4. As you had mentioned - external Shapes and Forms of the house. Are there any other inauspicious Shapes and Forms? Please see below:- At behind of the house:- a. Is there any water positions e.g. swimming pools? b. Is there a solid wall at the back of …

Dear Dragana, 1. Under the Eight Aspirations concept, the career sector is `suppose' to be located at the North and not south. 2. Overall, do not be overly concerned with fixed template as it is not considered reliable as it is too general to be of use (effective use or application). 3. Thank you also for the layout plan. From what I can see, there is one problem which is the toilet is next to the main door. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Pamela, 1. What you brought up is quite an interesting subject. 2. Most of the time, if you had sought advise from Feng Shui practitioners, it seems that it is always a `No-no' to place swords. 3. Because symbollically it has sharp edges and for two reasons:- Commonsense approach -------------------- It is like having a loaded gun in the house. Especially with children around - may perhaps be considered safer, placing it away from them. E.g. in locked glass shelves. The sharp edges of the swords ----------------------------- Usually, this is not preferred as it symbolises disharmony. 4. Given the two, I would prefer to look at it from a commonsense approach as it ma…

Dear Anon, Thank you for your clarification. 1. Techically, what I said was correct. However, a mountain star (if it is found) should be activated instead at the back portion of the house. For example, in your situation, where you had mentioned that you have activated a mountain over the `frontage'. Do remove the `mountain' at the frontage even if it is on the second storey. Symbolically, it is not corret to do so. We do not want a mountain blocking our `water' or clear space. A mountain star (if found) should be activated e.g. on the opposite wall from this position or any other walls that are at the back facing. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wasis, 1. Becareful of the placement of dragon figurine or painting. 2. Check the number of claws on it. If there are five, then, it is considered very `yang'. Here, one is not familiar with the dragon (figurine or painting) - one should treat it more like `Ba Gua mirror' and not face inwards of the house. 3. In Hong Kong, it is said that it has nine dragons. Dragon landscape or dragon qi is usually coming from e.g. a hill or landscape and winding down a river or from a hill down to the `sea'. In Hong Kong, a hotel had created an opening from the back thru the glass panels into the sea. Another good example, is `The Sterling' condominium in Singapore. ( Do a search f…

Dear Cecil, Today I went to Chinese art shops to find bottle gourds. All I found are attached with pictures such as swastika, Kwan Im, Ba Gua & Tiger. What do you think about the pictures on them? Some of them have holes at the top. I bought one with Kwan Im picture. I think it is more neutral than one with Ba Gua & Tiger pictures. However, mine doesn't have a hole at the top. Should I make one hole? Does size matter? Thanks in advance.
