Dear Cecil or Robert: Attached is the drawing of my convenience store building. The top building facia is painted Red. The building is painted White. I'm planning to have the lower part of the building covered with bricks (where the '?????' is ). I told my store manager that I'm planning to have the light yellow bricks installed. I was thinking fengshui. Fire (the top red facia) burns metal (the white building) to produce wealth. Earth (the light yellow bricks) will strengthen the metal. That will keep my building, if not prosperous, at least in harmony. My store manger, who isn't into fengshui, prefers the natural red bricks or natural stones. He said the natural r…

Dear Anon, Please see below:- Usually, without much analysis in Feng Shui, as you have mentioned, it would be preferred not to use red carpeting in a room especially in the bedroom. 1. Red is considered th most yang colour and bedroom should usually have more yin (rest) than yang (activity). 2. Depending on the sector, or compass directions, it would not be too ideal to have red at the South side or sector as it represents the `fire' element. 3. It should preferably not good to use a blue colour for the bedsheet as there would be an extreme contrast of red and blue where both can easily clash. Perhaps, you can try to use a lighter shade of blue or grey. Thank you…

Dear Anon, Thanks for the sketch! The "overhead" beam that you had mentioned (illustrated) is very common situation. If one looks carefully, with a pillow, the head will (never) be under this beam. If so, there is no issue at all! It is not the same as having an overhead beam right across one's body or the overhead beam is in the middle of the bed. If so, this is a concern. But in your illustration, to be sure, one can even pull the bed head further out or leave a few inches gap between the bedhead and the wall. If so, there is no issue in neutralising it. Yes, you are correct, traditionally, all the methods you had mentioned are to neutralise a beam. While the …

Dear Michael, Currently, it is pre-mature for me to confirm which is correct. 1. Overall, Red is considered an auspicious colour). However, (red) doors are featured predominantly in many Chinese buildings (especially guarded with the two lion figurines on either side of the main entrance. Therefore, since this is considered an auspiciuos colour - to some people it means wealth or being prosperous and lucky. 2. Red is considered the most Yang of all the colours and represents the fire element. This is perhaps why some consider it `anger' as fire can mean `flaring up of temper' etc... 3. Therefore, in each case e.g. colour of red signifies prosperity while on the other hand…

Dear Yvonne, 1. Contrary to popular belief, it does not necessarily follow that if the door faces south, it should be painted red. 2. Or if the door faces North (blue); East (Green or brown). 3. If one is not sure what colour to paint the door, neutral color e.g. natural wood grain color or white is the most acceptable color. 4. If Flying Star Feng Shui is considered as red represents the fire element, the sector at South is checked to see the interaction of the three #mountain + #water + base number to check that they are in balance. After the above evaluation, then one looks at whether painting the door pink or red (Fire element) is either beneifical; neutral or may d…

Dear Susan, Yes, I do agree with your comments. It has nothing do with Traditional Feng Shui. As this is not based on Traditional Feng Shui practises. Some traditional Feng Shui Practitioners (with a religious flair) would instead `protect' the main entrance e.g. with charms or the traditional Ba Gua mirror. This is the first time, I have heard of such a `practise' also. Perhaps, new wave " FS ". Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Since Grand Duke resides at the West, this year, best not to as you had mentioned not to antagonise the Grand Duke, here. Majority of normal homes don't often use "red dragons" to guard the home. Using dragons to guard the home is thus not common place. Best to avoid placing one at the West entrance. In terms of which elements to use at a specific sector, it is best to use the Flying star numbers to deduce whether a sector can or cannot use red rather than assume that because West = metal = white = tiger, then red = fire to be used here to control metal. Frankly, not too good a method to use. Warmest Regards, Cecil

I know that the (5) center of a house is not ideal for a big television and computer, but it'sthe onlylocation I can place these electronics. I know that yellow is the ideal color here. I purchased a red colored/gold embellished t.v. stand and computer desk to be side by side. Then I remembered that red "fire" is unhealthy or drainingfor the center "health", like having a fire place. It's too late to cancel the shipment of the computer desk.Is the red going to affect (5) badly? I already have a unhealthy metal "electronics". I think I have two options. I can either squeeze the computer and red desk in my bedroom, which would be located upstairs in the (9) part of house …

In my opinion, these are two considerations:- 1.1 Even under Flying Star Feng Shui, there is a base #8 at that sector. And under Period 8, #8 is the reigning number does help greaterly. 1.2. Chinese consider red as auspicious (at the altar). On 1.1 alone, in my opinion: "if it ain't broken don't - unfix it". I personally feel - leave it as it is ... no issue.

Dear Hoa Luong, Hoa Luong wrote: I'm thinking about adding a roof for the building of my business. The roof will be a metal roof painted RED. The building outside walls are a very, very light bluish white. The reason I'm thinking of having a RED roof is because fire (red roof) burns metal (white walls) to produce wealth. Is my reasoning correct? Is there anythingBAD about having a red metal roof? Your concept for the creating wealth is correct. ie Fire burn Metal = Wealth. However, it is a VERY BAD ANDNOT PRACTICALto use a Metal roof for several reasons:- 1. Metal roof will trap heat much faster than normal clay tilesor concrete roofs or glass or wooden roof. This w…

1. You can find out the significance of what GREEN or rather what "wood" element is from this url:- http://talk.geomancy.net 2. Wood is represented by :- 2.1. Colours: Colours range from Brown to wood or wood tone colours AND GREEN colour. 2.2. Usually, under Flying Star Feng Shui for practical reasons, if a sector has bad #3 (bad wood) then it is often best to avoid the COLOUR GREEN. As we all know how to avoid brown or wood or wood tone... literally many natural furnitures - non laminated especially cabinets and even parquet floors or laminated floors are wood or woody or wood tone colour. 2.3. Under the Five Elements Concept:- 2.3.1 Wood element is also conside…

Dear Anon, Havingred roof tilesis acceptable. As it is close to the orange or clay tiles we commonly see on a roof. When we have a red roof tiles, it does not really mean that the roof is totally considered as a fire house. This is because of other interactions e.g. the colour of the exterior walls. For example, if the colours of the exterior walls are white: Then under the destructive cycle of the Five elements concept,white = metal element. And here, fire is used to destroy fire. The end result is the production of "wealth." Thus,it is acceptable to have red roof with white exterior. In a second example, what happens if the exterior walls are cream or beige or yel…

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

The Chinese luck system is based on three factors: Heaven, Earth, and Human Luck. Whether a red wallet is suitable depends on considering all three of these factors together. According to the Five Elements concept, it is generally acceptable for someone with a strong Earth element to use the color red.

As mentioned in many of my past forum messages; if one seems to want to give up hope; then consider the concept of "The Holy Trinity of Luck". If not sure what it is, go check out past forum message postings...

Dear Maria, Maria Lourdes Sinahan wrote: How can I (yi) reduce the harm inflicted on me by wei person. What does it mean "To reduce tension between wei and yi, one should arm oneself with yi?". Frankly, it is harder to reduce any harm that between two person by using yi. This is because, in terms of ba zi, a harm is where two animal signs conflict. And to neturalise such an effect, it is said you need a 3rd animal sign that helps to resolve the conflict. This is really hard to always have a 3rd party animal sign in order to create harmony. Thus, a better way is based on the two element of the ba zi. ie one is weak water another is strong wood. Therefore the binding ele…

1. Generally, trees are only a poison arrow if it is aimed directly at the main entrance or a window. 2. If it has a tree trunk aimed at a window, this is easier to neutralise. From the side view, it does show the smaller tree trunk (may or may not slice thru the windows). One option is to install day curtains can be installed. 3. Trees are acceptable as it provides much shade especially from the afternoon sun. And one of the "secret" weapons is the ability to attract "birds" in the area. (Of course now adays, some people condone birds due to the concern of "bird flu" virus.

Dear Anon, 1. As the main door is `inauspicious' to your Kua, it is acceptable for the FS practitioner to place the Ba Gua mirror above the door. Furthermore, the NE is the devil's gate and some practitioner would recommend placing it at the specific location. Unless one tilts the door to a more advantages direction. 2. Perhaps, you can explore, whether it would be good to tilt the door. Here, if it is done correctly will: - Change the door to an auspicious or less auspicious sector - Tilt the door away from the devil's gate at NE. However, I must caution that the method under Para 2, should be done with the advise of a competent FS practitioner. And not DIY yourself. 3.…

Dear Anon, To be honest, there is very little information to go on to assess whether it is OK to place the fridge close to the main door entrance. Usually, in a compact kitchen, often a fridge do happen to face a stove. This is especially acceptable if the kitchen is located in the south of the home. It would be best to avoid such a situation i.e. stove face a water position (in the north or if the kitchen is at the north). See if the new location feels more comfortable to both of you or the earlier location. Warmest Regards, Cecil

One thing is for SURE! Reflections at Keppel don't look anything close to this illustration RIGHT? Anyway, who cares! I repeat: Tower Blocks even if they look like S-H-I-T; ain't SHIT! At least they are better than most other non-tower block type of homes... Get it? Got it?
