Dear Sir, I came across your website by chance. I stay in Australia. Please advise which is the best position for my Buddhist and ancestor altar. In fact, when I was watching some Taiwan fengshui program. They always said that it is not advisable to had a toilet, kitchen stove and bedroom behind the altar. Given the space constraint, I don't think anyone is able to fulfil all the requirement of having an ideal altar site. We can only do our best. on. Position A is the current position. It has 回风煞 and toilet issue. Unless I seal up the entrant on the right. Position B will result in the altar facing the door however the …

The altar facing is similar in nature to the stove. Thus, you should instead be standing at A facing X as the direction. As to the NE or SW, best that the altar is not located at the NE or SW sector of the home; where possible.

Dear Eng Soon, Generally, often it is best to purchase ready made altars. Most of the time, these altars are made according to Feng Shui measurements. If you have a Feng Shui ruler, most of the time, good altars have both measurements for both Yang (living) and Yin (dead) Feng Shui ruler measurements that match good auspicious measurements within these two zones. Thus, generally, good altar measurements range between:- 15 inches to 17 inches 16 to 27.5 inches 34 to 35.5 inches 41.5 to 23 inches 49.5 to 50.5 inches 57 to 58.5 inches Any of the above can be used for either the Width, Height, Length or Breath of an altar.

Hi Master, I would like to seek your advise in the placement for the altar at my new home. The place I have in mind is the one positioned at A, and would like to seek your advice if it's possible. I am only intending to put a Buddha figurine. Look forward to your advice and thank you.

Serene K. wrote: If my Bed is putting exactly same as the plan and my stove is putting as your mark as ''X''. Is it not good? Why? any solution? Yes, I suspected that your stove would have been at that location as 65 percent of such layout plans do place the stove at that position. This is under symbolism in Feng Shui; where it is considered inauspicious to have stove = fire element sharing the same wall as your bed-head. For some, they have a "thick" bed-head with a shelf behind their bed to place the alarm clock etc... this is one solution. The other is to move the bed-frame two inches away from the wall shared directly with the wall of the stove. The main concern is…

1. Another most effective moving metal is a simple clock. 2. For example, those found say at Ikea ... those "silver metallic" looking ones. It can be brushed stainless aluminium look with simple functioning dials. Most simple seiko, casio type of clocks will do. 3. Or a traditional mechanical ones... for example, recently I wona bid on Ebay for a lovely mechanical alarm clock. What is most effective is the "tick-tock" of a traditional alarm clock which can be placed on a table top. 4. Refrigerator (fridge). In fact most of us are not aware; a fridge is considered as one of the largest metal object and it is already a plus point, here. 5. A micro-wave oven. Those…

Hi Cecil, Based on my luck pillar, I am entering the wealth phase of my life.Is there anything that I need to prepare in order to receive the wealth that I am entitled to? Secondly I realized after getting the red wallet plus wearing myfavorablecolors (black or pink), I am getting lucky based on the 4d that I buy i.e if i buy 9498 it will open 8949...its kinda telling me that I am close but I still need to do a bit more to push that luck to me... What should I do here? Should I get more red accessories or black accessories??? Strangely, me being a strong metal person, if I wore a white shirt to buy 4d I can almost expect the number not to open and again donate my money t…

Frankly, it is best to clarify with the site or person who has provided you with the information. In general, a ba zi does have some indications of whether a person can migrate or not. In the sample illustration... I have produced Page 1 of 9. And in the 2nd attachment Page 9 under item I. Possible Migration / Change of location luck in such a ba zi report.

1. In my opinion, your home has only a "slight" protrusion. Nothing to worry too much about. 2. Based on your built up area; the missing corner is not an issue either as it is a solid area encompassing the garage. 3. Therefore, you should not be overly concerned with this thing called : protrusions or missing areas. But, more important seek to find out leaks and if possible enhancements = Elsewhere. 4. Please see attachment.

Hi Anon, Unfortunately, not all problems or leaks will have a solution, in this case you will not be able to change the location of the toilet or main door entrance. So only thing you can to is to attempt to improve all other areas so as to offset this issue. Remember that Feng Shui is like taking an exam. Failing one question out of 20 will not mean that you will fail badly. Just like Feng Shui one leak will not mean it is a bad house. So in such cases where there is a leak that cannot be fixed, you should then attempt to correct other leaks so as to offset it. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Judy, Generally, in order to fully know where you should be activating the water position in the home, it is best to use tools like flying star analysis to conduct a full audit so that you can find where are the current and future auspicious stars where it will benefit from having a water feature. So please note here that any advice provided here is based on general shapes and form concepts without considering other factors. 1. Ideally, any water feature should be located at the frontage of the house where possible. This is because whatever your frontage is that should be the clear space where under the Four Symbolic animals, it is the pheonix sector where the bi…

Dear Tom, Further to what I mentioned earlier, here are some other considerations:- 1. Symbolism is important in Feng Shui. I am not sure about natural crysals or gemstones but the shape preceeds material used. For example, for a piece of wood shaped like a pyramid, although its natural element is wood; but because it has taken the form of a pyramid, it should now be classified as a `fire element'. Alternatively, the piece of wood has been shaped like a pyramid and painted red. Here, red = fire element would also make it as a fire element. 2. Traditional Feng Shui is all about the Five elements concept: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal elements. Although, the methology…

Dear Fraser, 1. Thanks for your acute observations:) 2. Usually, the Grand Duke is used in a "wider area" e.g. in terms of a country or a county or state. Under this situation, one can realise that every degree makes a difference. For example one county can differ from another by just a few degrees. With this understanding, one can understand why we talk about lesser North East, lesser North West etc... 3. You correctly pointed out that in a home, it is hard to `imagine' that the grand duke is confined to only 67.5 degrees as an example and why not 70 degrees. 4. A good way to understand this is to imagine that closer the centrepoint, the compass directions gets closer to…

Dear Anon, Frankly, in the past most of the "Feng Shui" of a shopping complex is done-up either based on intuition or via Feng Shui advice on the construction i.e. type of external design of say a shopping complex. Here, if a geomacer is tasked the job, he will do an environmental scanning of the surrrounding buildings andadvise on the type of structure. For example, if the neighbourhood is made up of largely of earth buildings or buildings that are squarish or rectangular in shape, a geomancer may advise that the owner build a building is in the form of a wood element e.g. tall structure e.g. like a trunk. For example, for those in Singapore, good examples are: 1. BA…
