Dear Wendy, 1. Thank you for your drawing of your layout plan. 2. In terms of the Shapes and Form (position) of your table and office furniture layout it is acceptable. 3. However, can you elaborate more on the large piece of glass at the back of your chair? Are there any blinds or curtain behind you? Usually, it is not good Feng Shui to have a full height glass behind your desk as it implies no support. Or backing. In many of such situations, a back (side table) would normally be the most effective cure for a full height glass section behind you. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sonet, 1. In my opinion, there is a general concensus amongst many well known FS practitioners that the Southern Hemisphere `debate' is not an issue in Feng Shui. 2. This is because, many of the theories deal with the foundamental in Feng Shui such as:- Yin and Yang concept; The Five Elements Concept; Shapes and Form Feng Shui. 3. These three areas totally do not depend on the `compass school' of Feng Shui. 4. The only area that Shapes and Form School has is simply the use of pictorial to describe each directions with e.g. an animal sign. Such as East (Green Dragon) or West (White Tiger). All these if one understands properly is simply the use of pictures or illustr…

Dear Anon, 1. Feng Shui is all about increasing `luck'. 2. The best approach is the use of `holistic' Feng Shui to try to increase `luck' in many compartments or sectors. Here, the most common set of Feng Shui theories are: 2.1. Shapes and Forms 2.2. Compass School (Flying Star & Eight House) In my personal opinion, I feel that Shapes and Forms Feng Shui takes a large chunk of the percentage of luck of a location or house. 3. Many of us have taken examinations (one time or the other). And in all examinations, weightage of marks is given to each section of an examination paper. 4. In my opinion, Shapes and Form Feng Shui can have a weightage between 50 percent to even …

Dear Julie, Thank you for your description. In my opinion, it looks like your main door is not under any `threat'. A `threat' is where one of the pillars seems to slice thru the main door i.e. if one stands at the main entrance looking out; one of the pillars should not be slicing into the main door area. Overall, in my opinion also, the square pillars are of minimal or negligble `threat'. This is unlike the `mass' of a large building's edge. In my opinion, it is perfectly acceptable in your situation (unless one of the pillars slice thru the main entrance door area). If this is the case, a 6 rod metal wind chime can be used above the main door. Or the placement of two …

Dear Tammie, Please see below:- Where possible, try to `anchor' the bed to a wall. For example, the wall next to the window. It can still face the window. This is a favourable or acceptable position: since usually, the opposite side of the window is the bedroom door. It is favourable in such a situation because, the head in this case (usually) in such situations, the person's head faces the bedroom door or can see who's coming in. I will reply separately to your most recent question. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Julie, Please see below:- In my opinion, this has to do more with `commonsense' approach than Feng Shui: Generally, a `solid' door is preferred as it is considered `theft' protection. A door with glass was considered good because it was felt that it could be broken in. Alternatively, especially in high-rise buildings, building code require e.g. escape doors to have minimum fire retardation of 1/2 an hour or more (depending on the door). Therefore, in my opinion, overall, it does not really mean that a door with glass panels is totally inauspicious. And in my opinion, can still be used without changing it. Many interior decorators recommend mirrors to reflect…

Dear Louise, 1. In a duplex home, it is still best to also look at the Shapes and Forms of your house in relation to the landscape and site of the house. 2. For a duplex house, you can still find the centrepoint of your duplex unit. And from there, look at it in relationship with compass direction found in each of the rooms. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Magdalene, Can you confirm whether, the powder room has water position. If not, in my opinion, it is secondary or non-issue. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi Cecil, I missed out one possible position which is also not a good choice ie the bed with head pointing unfavourable direction for me AND the door will "cut" into the bed too. Please advise if there is a cure if all these positions are no good cos there isn't much I can do now. BTW, the next room is not any much better cos the location is still not my good direction, The overall of the house is that only the main door and window is ok for me, the rest are not lousy direction/locations. The good ones are located in the kitchen & toilets. It's a small 3 room flat. Thank you, really appreciate cos I am beginning to panick. Tammie

Dear Anon, In your case, frankly, I would advise you to take up option 2. As you have correctly mentioned, Option 1, especially with the railway line running diagonally behind the office is unfavourable. Option 3 - does not have back support and also not good if one cannot see the door. Overall, do give priority to Shapes and Form Feng Shui - which is Option 2. This is more important than facing your favourable direction. Thus, it is strongly recommended to go for Option 2. You can still consider option 1, but make sure that it is screened out e.g. using blinds. What one cannot see, will no longer remain a threat. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Magdalene, 1. Flying Star Feng Shui For your house that was built in 1917, check to see if there are any major renovations done after 1917. If there are major renovations done, then refer to this table:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-calendar.htm Under the above link you can find the various Chinese calendar periods e.g. Period 5 house? From 1944 to 1963 or Period 6 house? From 1964 to 1983 or Period 7 house? From 1984 to 2003 Thus for example, there was a major renovation done after 1917 and in the Year 1967, then the house birth chart has moved to what is called a Period 6 house. With this information, if you want to do a Flying Star Feng Shui you n…

Dear Anon, Thank you for sketching the illustration. If one is using an ordinary compass, then this is the wrong way to use it: 1. Avoid placing the compass on the floor as the compass may skew or deviate. 2. The illustration, to find the centrepoint of the house is not correct. Please review this illustration:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-cecilcompass.htm 3. You need to take the compass direction of the main door from the centrepoint of the house. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Respected Sir, Thank you for your guidance on the issue of my flat. I sincerely apologize for the following: 1) My DOB which is 25.08.1968. 2) Secondly for the purpose of 8 rod metal windchime in the northeast window. I read in one of the FENG SHUI books locally in Mumbai (India) that hanging a 8 rod metal windchime in THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE HOUSE/LIVING ROOM INVITES INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE. I will be in touch with you as for more queries on my family members.

Dear Lee, 1. Thank you for your effort in scanning and providing the relevant details. 2. It is thru, the proper details provided e.g. scanned image that makes it easy for me to provide the relevant advise. 3. As for the significance of either `protusions' or `missing corners' please refer to this URL:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-building.htm 4. The ruleset here is that a `protusion' or `missing corner' is one where a sector has either a protrusion or missing corner equal to or exceeding 33.3 percent of the area of that particular sector. 5. Thus a sector is defined as: based on the layout plan, equally divide the floor plan into 9 equal sectors. 6. If…

Dear Will, 1. The main consideration of a house is that it should not have a large `mouth'. 2. From what I can understand from your description that your house has two main entrance. It is best to (as you have mentioned) try to use one entrance. This is because, too many openings at the frontage is not advantages. For example, if a house has sliding doors at the frontage instead of e.g. a pair of doors, and if the ratio of main door is pretty large in relation to the frontage, it can lead to e.g. females in the house becoming lonely or those who aer unmarried in a house, remain single. You can make use of the Eight House Theory to see which door is more favourable to yo…

Dear Yang Ming, 1. The most common cure for concrete beams is the use of a pair of bamboo flutes. You can view a picture illustration under the reference link below:- http://www.geomancy.net/mypictures/cgi-bin/mypictures.cgi?img=0&search=flute&cat=all&bool=phrase&x=7&y=12 (Simply click on the thumb-nail view for a larger view). 2. If one places a pair of flute on a beam, it can be placed on either side or one of the other side of the beam i.e. one pair of bamboo flute will do. This is onl for info: The only other option is the use of `false partition'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mary, You should normally use the unit door i.e. your main door and not the main security door. However, if you have a layout plan either in the following format:- 1. Scanned in one of the popular graphic format e.g. .gif .bmp .jpg etc.. 2. Fax it to: 065 - 6482-0570 (Remember to quote your e-mail address for a return reply via e-mail). We will be most happy to help you or anyone locate the centre-point to your main door. If you are sending it by fax, make sure that you quote your e-mail address as we normally scan and e-mail the information to you. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Lynn, 1. The garage below the bedroom is not a real issue. A similar question has been mentioned in a forum message - a few days earlier. 2. Since there is a restriction in the positioning of the bed, usually:- 2.1 Ideally, if the head-bed has a storage compartment. If so, this would in effect, place the bed-head further away from the wall. 2.2 If there is no storage area, try to see if you can position the bed at least 1 foot away (leaving a gap) from the wall. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear KS, Please see below:- Yes, overall, it is considered not auspicious to have the Master Bedroom door facing another toilet door. Where possible close that toilet door when not in use. It is not ideal to have the bed sharing the same wall as a bathroom - especially if the toilet bowl is directly opposite the bed. Ref: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-under.htm This also applies to apartments. One conclusion here is that it is said that tiny water vapour or molecules emitted, may encourage baterial growth etc... If you have a layout, feel free to sketch (of the room in relation to the toilet / toilet areas / toilet bowl position / shower area -- an…

Dear Yang Ming, 1. Reference: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-ruler.htm 2. In the above url, one can find a sample Feng Shui ruler. 3. In the above illustration, one can see the top line (just above the inches). This TOP line is meant for Yang Feng Shui. Or Feng Shui for the living. 4. The lower or BOTTOM line (below the inches) relates to Yin Feng Shui measurement or Feng Shui for the dead. 5. Therefore, you could look at the TOP row. 1 Feng Shui foot is equal to an imperial foot of approximately 17 inches. 6. In Hong Kong, one may find 3 or more versions of the Imperial Carpenter's Feng Shui ruler. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Everyone, Before, I answer the question on mirrors, there is an important concept of mirror: " Mirror, mirror on the wall ". Please see illustration in the attached file. (Only available under web-login to the forum. Attachment not included for those participating or listening in from an e-mail mailing list). History: 1. The Cantonese dialect group is particularly fond of placing mirror(s) in the living room. The idea is that food on the dining table can be multiplied. 2. The above, is particularly favourable to Hong Kong Feng Shui practitioners. Especially since the majority of Hong Kongers are Cantonese themselves! 3. Interior Decoration and Mirrors (C) Cecil Lee U…

Dear Julie, 1. In my opinion, I would classify the case of a bedroom or master bedroom above a garage as " commonsense approach ". 2. Before, we start jumping or worrying too much, the main rationale why some consider this bad is because a vehicle below the bedroom may inadvertenly `catch' fire. But... wait.... how often does a stationery car catch fire? 3. This is similiar to the situation of a bedroom above a kitchen. Although there is a slim chance of a fire in a kitchen. But statistically, it is in my opinion, much less than a vehicle accident. It is similar to air-plane accidents. It has been statistically proven that travelling in aeroplanes are relatively safe. M…
