Dear Carrie, 1. Unfortunately, Feng Shui is not a `cure-all'. 2. Again, we come back to the fundamentals by asking three questions here: 2.1. What is the purpose (aim) of Feng Shui. 2.2. What are it's strength 2.3. What are it's weakness 3. Overall, Feng Shui is about trying to improve one's earth luck. Other Chinese divinity methods have the same objective of trying to improve one's luck. 4. For helping to sell a property - we can still " use " Feng Shui but for a different purpose. 4.1 For example, if the vacant plot of land has good Feng Shui or even if a house has good Feng Shui. 4.2 We can `try' to market it in the hope that the buyer -- may coincidentally believe …

Dear James, "The shielding effect" Under the Eight House Theory, it is good for the partners to sleep on the correct side of each other. For example, if one is a West Group (House) person e.g. best directions are North, South, West and North-West. And if the other partner has inauspicious directions, then, the person who is a West Group person should sleep closer to the compass directions Nort, South, West and North-West. While his/her partner sleeps further to this closer to East, SE, NE or SW. Thus, the person who has auspicious sectors can `shield' the other partner. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Lee, 1. In Feng Shui, if one has an `L-shaped' living room or living cum dining room; one should take advantage of (top-down view) of "two rectangular" shaped areas. Imagine here that a partition on one side of the wall with walking space - will imply two rectangle areas. This is the best configuration for an `L-shaped' room/area. 2. If you have a sketch of your existing `L-shaped' layout and/or a proposed sketch; feel free to upload it as a message (Attachment file) for me to make my comments. Otherwise, you may explain further or describe further (Forgive me -- hopefully, I can understand and comment somewhat on it) for you. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear John, 1. There is a difference between favourable colour(s) and wealth element colour. 2. Thus for a Strong Metal person:- 2.1 Favourable element/colours: Water (blue/black/grey), Fire (red), wood (green/brown). 2.2 Unfavourable element/colour: Earth 9yellow), metal (white/gold). 3. Wealth element/colour: Wood (green/brown). Thus if one notice carefully, the wealth element colour is one of the favourable colours for the person. The difference here is that under the destructive sequence (reference url: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-5element.htm ) 4. Since the person is a Strong Metal, the Strong Metal can be used to destroy Wood. The end result is what…

Dear Lisa, In general, (I really have to say this) because, one has to be physically present to analyse the site even though you have given some description of the site: Here are some guidelines:- 1. Is this site an existing burial site. If it is an existing, can you find out more if this site has ever being Feng Shuied before? 2. If the question above is Yes (it has been Feng Shuied before) than try to find out who actually Feng Shuied the site? We do not want the site to be said to be Feng Shuied but the result is it is " Feng Shuied " by people from the Black Hat Sect. 3. If it has been Feng Shui especially a Chinese Teochew Master, then usually you can be rest assured…

Dear Anon, Please see below:- I am not sure which theory are you applying. But if it is the Eight House Theory or East/ west 4 Group of persons: There is not much cure other than to keep the location bright. For example, ideally it is god to keep the whiles (painted) in neutral colors such as white or pastel shades of it. In many instances, a FS practitoner would most probably recommend that the kitchen should be an auspicious sector (in particular) the placement of the kitchen stove. In this area, some would comment that it should be auspicious for the breadwinner while others would recommend that it be auspicious for the spouse (wife). Overall, I personally fee…

Dear Anon, Please see below:- Facing `West' is considered more a `nice-to-have'. It is nice to face West but priority must be given to say spending time at a good sector. If your body and say the legs can be seen from the main door e.g. parallel to it; this is known as the `coffin' position. And considered inauspicious under Shapes and Form Feng Shui Shui. If this is the bedroom ideally not to use plants especially life plants. As plants grown and they are considered `more yang' engergy. Which is not so good. It also depends on how far this is this protusion. If the protusion is not aimed at any part of the body (on the bed) this is fine. Some users here, have ind…

Dear Anon, Grateful, if you can attach a sketch. The sketch should include the position of the main entrance door. If you do so, I can easily locate the center-point for you. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Abhijit, In general, fish tank should be placed against a wall. Usually, I believe, the fish tank that has been placed at north is meant more as a hobby piece. Rather than for Feng Shui purpose. Without much more investigations (e.g. using the various methods especially, the Flying Star Feng Shui, therefore, one can only say that it is ok, since you may have it there for sometime already. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Rosen, 1. Do you have a sketch (even a simple outline) will do of your plot of land in relation to the highway and the `enclave' of e.g. teh business district. 2. Describe, what is at the frontage, back and both sides of your plot of land:- 2.1. In general what is the road that leads into your building. 2.2. What are the height of the neighbouring buildings. 2.3 Is this an industrial (manufacturing) or business (commercial area) and are the neighbours (manufacturing or commercial). 3. Usually if your plot of land is `enclosed' within a district meant for business; it does not imply the same as what I mentioned earlier i.e. the residential area. Apologise for asking s…

Dear Allison, Under Traditional Feng Shui, the two major schools used are: 1. Shapes and Form 2. Compass School (Eight House & Flying Star) In my opinion, the most accurate Feng Shui is the use of (Para 1 and 2) in combination with one's Ba Zi (Pillars of Destiny) - in particular one's element and strength. 3. This is what is know as Ba Zi Feng Shui. It is widely used system as it is considered the most accurate. As it not only takes into account " Feng Shui " of the house but it also takes into account the persons who intent to live or are currently living in the house. 4. For a start, the key word is `protect, protect, protect'. You should stand at your main entran…

Hi, I checked the center of the house, the bedroom is probably part in the northeast sector and part in the east sector. The whole house is a long rectangle where the long wall of the house faces 330deg if looking from the center spot. My bedroom is on the short side of the house right on the top of the garage, closer to the central northeast (45deg) side of the house ( there are another small room adjacent to my bedroom close to the central east direction 90deg). I am not exactly sure about the exact length of the house, so it is hard to say if my bedroom is really in the northeast sector or mainly in the east sector. So my question would be if my bedroom resides mainly …

Dear Anon, What you mentioned is too general to say for sure what may be `wrong' with your relationship luck. This is because, there are quite a substantial number of reasons for this: 1. It may be your home (Earth luck). Here, it may involve as many as two major Feng Shui theories such as Shapes and Form and Compass School methods. (There could be perhaps some Shapes and Form - problems and/or Flying Star related `relationship' problems that may need to be neutralised. 2. It may be your Ba Zi (Pillars of Destiny - Heaven's Luck) 3. Other than the above, it may be other reasons beyond 1 or 2. Using Gua (Kua) cannot help here as it is not meant to help find out about rela…

Dear Ingrida, Actually, I believe what you mentioned is not Flying Star Feng Shui but rather the Eight House Theory. We may have to take the Eight House Theory with a `pinch of salt' for situations where there is no rooms that we can ideally spent more time at. Usually, this theory is used more for: 1. How suitable the house is to the breadwinner. 2. As you mentioned, it is good to spent time at good sectors. But if there are considered `no' good sectors to spent time at; one need not be say `upset' over it. This theory is meant more for the `initial' house hunting. For example, when house hunting, it can help or aid us to further decide which house to choose base on the…

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. …

Would it help to move the pond to the front and then not use the downstairs at all ? I've had so much bad luck I will do anything. Do you know anyone who is experienced that could help me in Arkansas. I can't seem to find anyone who even knows anything about feng shui or should I just take your courses ad help myself. Carrie

Dear James, 1. In my opinion, the biggest influence in the home (`Earth' luck) relates more to the external environment, the site and the home. 2. Usually, other than the external environment and the site, the next important consideration is the (entire house). 3. Therefore; even if you had rented a room, it is but of secondary importance as the whole house has to be related to. 4. What I am trying or hoping to emphaise here is that your room is but just one sector of the whole house. 5. Usually, a full house is audited and checked for any imbalances (if any) within each sector. If there are any imbalance, then it should be `cured'. Say, after applying the cure for that s…

Dear Anon, 1. Although sector Feng Shui is not practised here, I really don't see any harm in doing so i.e. SW = romance sector... 2. The 33.3 percent rule-set: 2.1 Usually, under Feng Shui; major impact is based on this rule-set. For example if we paint the walls in the bedroom `pink'; and if it > 33.3 percent of the entire surface of the walls in the room; then the predominate element is changed to Fire element (pink). 2.2 Usually, a small item e.g. rose quartz is a minor element - thus considered relatively little impact on a sector. It can be considered as decorative item. 3. Symbolism in Feng Shui Here, symbolism is important in Feng Shui. For example, the use of …

Dear Anon, In my opinion, there is really nothing magical about a wish box. It is similar to someone keeping a good luck charm. Since this does not fall into the category of Feng Shui or divinity, I am unable to answer your question. However, I do not really see any harm in keeping or treasuring it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Ok, I divided the two shapes into two rectangles, the other one being the bedroom. Doing this, the southwest corner of the main room becomes the bathroom and the southwest corner of the bedroom is a built-in closet. That doesn't help my marriage prospects because then I flush my prospects away and I keep far too many memories. How do I enhance the relationships area of my life given these two placements? I was born in 65 so my auspicious directions are NE, NW, SW and W. I am also thinking of moving the mirror to the dining room. Would that be ok? I really appreciate the help you've given me. Gloria

Hi Anon, Please see below:- The priority you should be taking is as follows:- A. The house should be 1st suitable to the breadwinner (your husband). Since both of you are of opposite EIght House, which by the way is a common issue for most people. Likely it is not your death or disaster sector which would be worst. B. Next, you should then focus on choosing a a bedroom that hopefully is suitable for the two of you. However, in most cases, it would be hard to find it as it would likely again be such a case where your husband is good and your is bad. So you can try to choose a bedroom if possible where either of the following:- 1. Good for you and maybe irritation for y…

Dear Anon, 1. In Traditional Feng Shui, especially, if one uses Compass School Feng Shui, the `wealth corner' is subjective. 2. The rationale here is that there is not only one wealth sector but to achieve: maximum wealth or Luck potential; one has to balance all sectors and accord equal emphasis of attention on all sectors. 3. There is really no harm in placing a tin container that you cherish at any location of the home where you feel comfortable with. 4. In addition, this concept applies here " If one cannot see it; it no longer is effective". 5. Thus, coins kept in a tin would remain as a `tin box'. Usually, in Feng Shui, an item has to be visible for it `to work'. 6…
