Dear Mark, In my opinion:- 1. Books If you are reading Lillian Too's books then go for more of `Shapes and Form' concepts. I personally feel that she is better at `Shapes and Form' FS than numerology topics such as Flying Star etc.. I personally feel that a person's inclination is an important factor in deciding which topics or subjects to go into. For example, if one notice carefully, Harvard University or personnels in the university are more inclined towards `humanity' or subjects on humanity. (Less focus on mathematics). Where else, those who studies at e.g. University of California or MIT, are more inclined towards logic or mathematics or such sciences. Thus, one may…

Dear Angela, 1. Sector Feng Shui or what you have mentioned below is the common advise from some Feng Shui books. 2. Most of the time, these books (some which have been written since 1984 or earlier) commonly suggest improvement such as `glorifying' or "paying homage" to a corner. 3. For example, these authors have tried to make money by mentioning that e.g. that one should enhance i.e. our romance corner with say ... flowers or pictures of loved ones. And this can be applied in a home or in a bedroom, e.g. the South-West corner. 4. This concept or idea is based on the Eight aspirations or Life associations or Life aspirations i.e. where, each sector is (was) said to have…

Dear Kirsten, 1. Frankly, if we are personally not too sure where to place these items ourselves, then, try not to buy them. 2. For the `normal' homeowner; they would purchase items as part of their decor for the house and it should be treated this way. 3. Unless you can get hold of a good professional FS consultant to do a full home audit for you then, I suggest that it is more worthwhile spending money elsewhere or keep the money or save it for a rainy day. 4. Another concept that one should consider is " if it ain't broken, don't fix it. " This is very true in many instances where some of us, for example buy not one but several windchimes or other objects and start pl…

Dear Mark, I wish you a warm welcome to this forum! In traditional Feng Shui, there are two major schools:- 1. Shapes and Forms 2. Compass Schools. You have correctly pointed out that Compass School Feng Shui is one form of Feng Shui that can be used to help increase one' luck. Basically, Feng Shui (earth luck) and Chinese Divinity methods and the use of Ba Zi (Heaven's map) have a single purpose i.e. to try and help one increase our luck. If you have the time to read many of the messages in this forum, one may come to the conclusion that: 1. Sector Feng Shui or paying homage to a corner... This does not bring significant luck or money to a person. I have given the il…

Dear Carol, You are absolutely correct. 28 Jan 1960 to 14 Feb 1961 = Year of the Metal-Rat While:- 8 Feb 1959 to 27 Jan 1960 = Year of the Earth-Pig 15 Feb 1961 to 4 Feb 1962 = Year of the Metal-Ox 5 Feb 1962 to 24 Jan 1963 = Year of the Water-Tiger Source / References:- http://www.geomancy.net/love/a30-50.htm and http://www.geomancy.net/love/a60-80.htm Year of the Tiger only `arrived' on 5 February 1962. Therefore based on your partner's Year of Birth, she was born in the Year of the Metal-Rat as mentioned by you. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Dana, In my opinion, if it is a small table fountain, then you can safely consider it as a decorative piece. However, avoid placing it at or close to the centre-point of the house. You can place it e.g. at a corner particularly at the frontage of the house. For example, if you are living in a flat/condominium, it should preferably be placed in the living room closer to the balcony. This is similar also to placement for landed properties. Try to avoid placing it at the center areas of the house. Warmest Regards, Cecil Lee

Dear Balu, Please see below:- For the Eight House Reports, these are completely free reports. Some of the reports are: 1. Bed positioning 2. Best directions and the Eight House chart. at http://www.geomancy-online.com For step-by-step guide in using the report you can look thru at this url: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm With the above information, you should be able use the report. However, if your house is a North house (since u mentioned that it is a suitable house to you) then North should be considered as `Excellent'. If can confirm that North = Excellent then your most suitable house is a North house. Under a North House: East - Health SE - Prosperity …

Dear Max, 1. It is most important to understand that your Ba Zi element takes precedence here. For example, you mentioned that you are a person with a weak fire element. 2. Since you are a weak fire person, it is best that you avoid the water element especially in your home. As water will further extinguish your weak fire element for yourself. 3. Thus my advise is that in whatever location in your home, it is best or strongly advised that you forgo e.g. a fish tank in your home. 4. As wood helps fire element to grow, you can have more of the wood element (instead of water). This can be in the form or colour. 5. In colour, you should try to avoid especially blue (water). G…

Dear Leslie, 1. First try to check whether you had buried your deceased dog at 150 degrees sector i.e. from the centrepoint of the house to that sector be it inside or outside the house. 2. This is govern by the Tai-su or the Grand Duke's concept (or also known as Grand Duke of Jupiter)that the Grand Duke does not like to be disturbed or this may bring bad luck or misfortune. 3. Thus to-date this is the Lunar Year of the Snake and you must not disturb the earth at South-South-East or exactly 150 degrees be it inside or outside the house. 4. Avoid digging the earth along the 150 degrees i.e. if you stand at the centrepoint of the house, you should try to avoid digging eart…

Dear Adrienne, In my opinion, there should not be a major issue as to where it should be placed as overall, it is considered as a `metal' element. Overall, since it is weapon, it should be safely locked up and if possible, the ammunition should be (where possible) kept separate from the gun. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Elvis, 1. Please see below:- 2. If your floor plan is rectangular in shape, you should try standing at the centrepoint of the house and from there take the direction of the main entrance door. 3. If I read what you wrote correctly, and if you were to follow what I mentioned under Para 2. In this case I understand that the main door that you mentioned perhaps should be considered at North-east and not East. Alternatively you can use this as reference:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/cecilcompass.htm In my opinion, there should not be an issue in replacing the single seat sofa with a bed. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Angela, Please see below:- Primarily, the Eight House Theory or the East-West Group should not be used to activate good luck sectors. It has more to do with: 1. How suitable the house is to the breadwinners ; 2. It has to do with the time spent at that particular sector. If you want a feng shui friendly method (without resorting to the use of ba gua mirror) then my suggestion is to use a semi-circular carpet radiating outwards of the main entrance door. Do take note of the following: What is the element of the beam? If it is mostly made of concrete, then, you should introduce the wood element. Thus, the carpet should be green. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- For the Chinese, it is preferable that the ceiling fan where possible is not black. White or gold is fine. Do you find it uncomfortable? If so, you may like to change it. Purple represents the Fire element and it would normally depend on your Ba Zi. For a room, unless one has a need for the `Fire element' e.g. if a person is a weak wood person and staying in the room, can use the `Fire' element to help his/her weak wood to grow. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mimi, Please see below:- Of course, the other important consideration is that Water feature should be placed in open spaced area. Meaning it should as far as possible be placed in say the living room with a larger area, or preferbly outside of the house (especially the frontage of the house). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, One can place a bedside table between the toilet door and the bed. Here, one also has to place a table / reading lamp on it. By doing so, it will act as a `partition' between the toliet area and the bed. For the sha qi i.e. corner pointing towards the bed, especially if it is made of wood you can use a wind chime. You can try this out. Since metal is overall quite a safe element to use and there should normally not be any `harm' doing this i.e. experiment. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jeffery, Please see below: I hope everything went well this round. Perhaps that was a bad day. I believe, otherwise, there should not be an issue. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Angie, 1. For the front door (main entrance); if a lamp post looks like `slicing' thru it, then this is a `sha qi' or poison arrow. 2. One can apply the `triangle effect' by placing two plants on both sides of the main entrance. By doing so, symbolically the two plants with the lamp post forms a `triangle'. With the point (lamp post) pointed towards the neighbour's home. 3. Another option is to place a semi-cicular rug outside the main entrance (radiating outwards). Preferably the carpet should be red. As red represents the fire element and will help destroy or neutralise a METAL lamp post. Please note that if the lamp post is made of a wooden post (WOOD) element the…

Dear Max, There are many theories involved with regards to the kitchen: 1. Some FS practitioner feels that kitchen should be in harmony with either spouse. Either/or should be auspicious sector for either say the husband or wife. Please see below:- The main `argument' here is that it has to do with the fire element. Some FS practitioners feel that fire may be harmful as it can result in frequent quarrels. However, this is less of importance and we should be focusing more on:- 1. The kitchen has both the fire and water element i.e fire (stove) and water (the basin/refrigerator). 2. Priority is that the stove should try to face inwards in the kitchen as it helps to keep…

Hi, I was wondering if anyone can help; beside my main door I have a full-length mirror, but there is another full-length mirror right across from it. I am quite sure this is not good and wonder if there is any solution (other than removing the mirrors or modifying them in any means (i.e. applying a film etc.)). Regards, Vivek

Dear Tril, If you have not reviewed how to find the main door direction, please check out:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/cecilcompass.htm In the graphic presentation on the above site, you find that at the last part of the presentation, I actually superimposed a circular protractor i.e. 360 degress protractor on the layout plan. Here, you should then mark out i.e. 0 degrees (North), 45 degrees NE, 90 degrees East etc... and this is how you draw a `pie chart' with North, NE, East, SE, South, SW, West, NW. In fact there are two methods of dividing a room i.e. by diving it into 9 equal sectors as what mentioned below or using the `pie chart' method. If you are using a compass …

Dear Carol, We can all appreciate your situation. In a confined space, there is not much one can do to relocate these items. However, this is not the `end of the world' as far as Feng Shui is concerned. In your case, just make sure that there is an `island' or a distance or gap especially between the stove and either the frige or the sink. Try to leave as much gap as possible. But a symbolic gap is still acceptable i.e. for example; 3 or more centimetres. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Angela, In my opinion, it would be best if you want to apply Feng Shui to get a FS practitioner to go thru all the details. As the modification may affect i.e. the Shapes and Form of the home (itself) and Compass School readings. If you do not want to engage a FS practitioner, you can try to make sure of the following:- 1. Shapes and form Feng Shui. Here, you made a good point by trying to make sure that the house is as rectangular as possible. 2. Outline of the house. Does the house resemble any "human body" shape? If you have not read this article, please go thru it:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/grandpa1.htm It highlighst an actual case study: House influenced by Fe…

Dear Tril, There are several rulesets in Feng Shui. One of the more visible method is: the 33.3 percent ruleset. Here, so long as a sector or location has 33.3 percent of an element, it can be said that this element is dominant at that sector. A good example is let's say a bedroom. If we paint the walls and this cover more than 33.3 percent of the entire wall with blue, then we have `applied' a significant amount of water element. Thus painting a wall or using bedsheet to cover the bed are some of the options. Please see below:- Thus we can use numbers to associate with an element. Thus 6 or Six signifies BIG METAL, then we can use 6 coins to represent BIG METAL as…

Dear Ricardo, Perhaps can go to this conference: Feng Shui `Tips & Tricks' and review the following messages:- 1. The Plus Equilibrium - dated 3/22/2000 2. Plus Equilibrium Question - dated 3/23/2000 The above uses the water position to balance houses at a T-junction. I am not sure if the above applies to you. If not, apprecaite if you can further elaborate or provide more details. Thanks. Cecil
