Dear Per, In my opinion, for a small that is shared for livingrm cum office cum bedroom, more importantly the placement of the various furnitures. And avoid `clutter' where possible. Under Feng Shui, the most appropriate concept used here is the Yin and Yang concept. Where, there should be a `balance'. In moments of rest (sleep), a more conducive yin environment is good. But while working, too conducive of such a yin environment is not favourable. I believe, that your room should have a window. And, depending on the direction also i.e. if the window area faces directly west, then, it may be quite hot (depending on your country - season). Overall, try your best to balance…

Dear Anon, Happy New Year to you! Please see below:- This common denominator can be related in many of the concepts - in particular i.e. ' Flying Star Feng Shui and Pillars of Destiny. There are many Feng Shui practitioners and in my opinion, I feel that some of these practitioners may not `live' up to the standard. Thus, the end result is that many people become disillushioned with it. In addition, I personally feel that many people are also to be blamed. The rationale is unfortunately " greed ". I can understand money is important but, when we depart our hard-earned money to buy or enhance a sector, this can become worrisome. Or to buy e.g. a three-legged toad. For…

Dear Deepti, Please see below:- One must correctly understand the purpose of the Eight House Theory:- 1. In general, it can be used to find out how suitable a house is to the breadwinner. 2. It is good to have good intangible force in the bedroom. If the sector is not as auspicious to one spouse but good for the other spouse; the spouse who has the "better" intangible force sleeps closer to that sector (shielding) the other partner. Thus if North (bedroom) is an auspicious sector for the husband e.g. his health sector; while it is the disaster sector for the wife; then the husband sleeps closer to this sector. The Eight House theory is mainly about the above t…

Dear Josephine, 1. Presently, from my personal observations, so far, I do not recall or find anyone, who was directly affected with books facing them. 2. However, based on the concept of " If one no longer sees it, it does not become a - threat ". One option, if you still want to cover the bookself is using e.g. a cloth or something of that nature or install cabinet doors. 3. Is the pillar pointed at the bed? If the pillar is not pointed towards the bed (but parallel to it this is OK. Not much one can do otherwise (to extend the "wall" or pillar such that it no longer becomes a pointed corner). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, In my opinion, this is not really a Feng Shui practise. Therefore, I am unable to comment further on this. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Momo, Thanks for your kind words of encouragement. Wishing you, and everyone here a Happy New Year! Please see below:- Nowadays, it is much harder to `discern' the type of element related to a career. This is because of the element of `multi-skilling'. It it common nowadays; for one to be `multi-skilled' not only in our job but in a wide spectrum of a job. For example, some of us may be an accountant, while others may be in PR, Marketing or Administration. Common usage of computers and other related equipment is very common. Thus, we are today - more `multi-skilled' than ever. And it thus much harder to define a job or relate it (totally) to one specific element …

Dear Cindi, 1. Yes, in my opinion, one can certainly have a single mattress i.e. and keep it away daily the next morning. 2. This is secondary to Feng Shui and I feel that this is a practical approach in the use of limited space within the home. 3. I have heard that some FS practitioners are (quite) concerned with sleeping on a single mattress (within a bed post). As some of these FS practitioners (feel) that a bed should be `raised' so that Qi can flow under the bed. In my opinion, this is again of secondary or not as important as other FS concepts or theories. For example, it is more crucial to check for poison arrow(s) aimed towards a home or thru the windows. Warmest…

Dear Michelle, 1. In my opinion, I do come across (especially) many homes as what you have described. 2. Overall, although, it may not look `ideal' for such a situation under Feng Shui but from my personal (and past experience); I felt that this is really not of a major issue. Another factor is that at this second level, especially if are pockets of air movement (if one opens the windows) would be good for the circulation of air between level 2 and level 1 via the stair-case/stair-case landing area. 3. Instead, priority should instead be looked at with regards to poison arrows (aimed towards the home) i.e. when one stands at the window or main entrance door looking outw…

Hi Cecil, I had sent you a separate e-mail as I was unable to access your forum using Netscape 4.76 but now switched to Internet Explorer and I can now access it. I took more pictures of the house and included the interior floor plan. You can see them at: http://photos.yahoo.com/benjaminjue Feng Shui is new to me and after looking at your site, I also realized that the Master Bedroom in over the garage and that there are "many poison arrow pointing to the front of the house from the neighbors roofs. What I plan on doing is planting a potatoe tree in front of (middle of) the big window to cover that up and removing that other small tree, using a Bagua mirror on the same…

Dear "NG", Lets look at this example:- http://www.geomancy.net/mypictures/cgi-bin/mypictures.cgi?search=centrepoint&img=8&cat=all&bool=and (for some of you, if the link is broken, please `cut-and-paste' the entire link above to your browser and load the file). Under the above link, please look at: 1. Graphic file: compass21.jpg and compass21a.jpg 2. The file name: compass21.jpg shows the actual house layout. 3. Let's look closely at file name: compass21a.jpg Try to click on the thumbnail image to show you an enlarged picture of this layout plan. 3.1 You will find the actual centrepoint shown in the picture as " 1 ". Number "2" is the extended centrepoint wher…

Dear Wasis, 1. Under the Eight House Theory, the only thing that we can do is to change the direction of the main door. For example, if the main door is facing North-East (and based on Feng Shui Master's recommendation); this door should change for two reasons:- 1.1. NE (direction) is considered the devil's gate. 1.2. If NE direction is not suitable to the breadwinner. Then, to `kill two birds' within one stone; the main door direction can be changed. (Again, it should be on the advice of a FS practitioner). It is normally not good to give a "wholesale" advise on this matter as a proper audit should be done. And the recommendation "depends" on all the various inputs tha…

Dear Michael, 1. Please refer to a similar forum message under this conference " Free Advice ". 2. Forum message: " Placement of legal documents ". Recent message dated December 22, Year 2001. 3. In the above message to a user, I mentioned that, in Traditional Feng Shui, it is not the practise to place legal documents at (any specific) location or to apply "sector " Feng Shui or paying homage to a specific sector. 4. Usually, Flying Star Feng Shui is used in this situation to look at the issue: In most cases, there may be a eighty-one combination within a sector that may involve legal issues or entanglements. This should be neutralised. In particular either the base Flyin…

Dear Mee Yin, Please see below:- Frankly, a flaw with the Eight House Theory is that it is only a static representation. And more importantly, I personally feel that it would be useful as an `indicator' of:- 1. How suitable a house is to the breadwinner. 2. Locations where one spent time at. (However, there are other major considerations or priorities) than this theory. (The Eight House Theory). Usually, this involves a full audit of the house which not only includes the `consideration' of the Eight House Theory but also other concepts such as the Shapes and Form and Flying Star audits of the house. These two concepts are, I feel more important than just the `Eight Ho…

Dear Anon, 1. In a business, the most important question often asked is: Can Feng Shui help in my business? 2. Here, we have to be realistic about what Feng Shui can or cannot do. If other businesses of the same nature as our company is doing well as compared to our business; then Feng Shui can give a quantum leap provided it is applied correctly. 3. For example, if I have a shop e.g. goldsmith shop which is not doing well as compared to my neighbours. Yet, my neigbhour's shop is doing very well. Then, Feng Shui can be utilised to help our company. 4. However, is say the entire goldsmith market is facing a severe downturn; Feng Shui cannot do much to help. 5. For example…

Dear Wasis, 1. A simple circular mirror, is the least obstrusive of all " Ba Gua " mirrors. 2. Normally a concave Ba Gua mirror is used against " poison arrows " or Sha Qi e.g. street lamps, lone tree slicing the main entrance door. 3. On the other hand, a convex Ba Gua mirror is (like all other Ba Gua mirror) another form of protection. Here, it is mostly used to protect the home occupants by bad qi energies or perceived bad energies. Usually, this type of Ba Gua mirror is based on the specific recommendation by a Feng Shui Master on the usage. Otherwise, one normally use either the " flat round mirror " i.e. the least offensive towards the neighbours to the more common…

Dear William, 1. We have been using the Flying Star Feng Shui to look at or help aid in a `favourable' outcome of a legal action. Not thru the use of statues or objects. 2. I am not sure, your question is for yourself or for others. But, if you are facing any court decision, we like to give you a complimentary Free "paid Flying Star" report. This is because, the Flying Star report can help to identify star " #4 " i.e. which is associated with legal entanglements. If a proper Flying Star analysis is done, one may find in some instances the 81 combinations (interpretations) have specific issues on `legal entanglements'. Here, one should redress sectors that have such `legal…

Dear Davi, 1. Thank you for asking an interesting question especially since it involves your personal Pillars of Destiny "eight characters". 2. I have a very real concern not only with such " Four Pillars " software(s) as they can as you have seen for yourself, provide inaccurate information 3. Let me show you why the above computation is `flawed' or inaccurate:- 4. Your Date of birth: 7 Sep 1981 (This is based on the Western Solar Calendar) In the Chinese Lunar Calendar, your date of birth would be: The Lunar Year of: 10 Day, 8 month, Year 1981. In another type of calendar called the Hsia or Xia (or seasonal or Chinese solar calendar), your date of birth would be: …

Dear Anon, Please note that under the Grand Duke concept, some of the recommendations that I am about to give have more to do with (beliefs) and some may say that they are `superstitions'. Therefore, it is on the onus of anyone reading it to either `pick' up on some of these `beliefs' or if one is not agreeable, then, please skip any or all of the recommendations. You can still do renovations to the house. 1. Since you have just bought the house, it would imply that you have not moved in yet. This is in my opinion, particuarly good. Here, can still do the renovations: For the Chinese, normally a date is selected prior to the renovation. (not compulsory thou). Not to move…

Dear Noe, 1. Thank you for bring up this interesting question. 2. To understand better, we can generally say that what you had mentioned is in my opinion like comparing "an Apple with an Orange." 3. This is because if one look carefully; what is `missing' from the understanding is the " TIME PERIOD ". 4. If one looks carefully at say the GUA number and how it has been derived, it is based on a person's YEAR OF BIRTH. While a proper and very complete Pillars of Destiny Chart comprises of:- YEAR, MONTH, DAY AND TIME OF BIRTH. (This four items is what we commonly call FOUR PILLARS) as each pillar is represented by one of the time periods i.e. Year, Month, Day and Time of b…

Dear Anamika, 1. Thank you for bringing this up. 2. From what I understand (previously)... I have not really looked into detail his `formula' or method; but from what I understand (correct me if I am wrong), he is quite innovative and created a variant of partially using the Natal Chart and some parts of the Lo Shu numbers i.e. a bit like combining Eight House and Flying Star theory. While the Natal chart used here, is soley for the purpose of the 4 good and 4 bad directions (East or West House) or Eight House Theory. 3. In my opinion, it is always good to follow thru with one method ie. and where possible try not to `mix' one person's method with another. For example, sa…

Dear Anon, It is certainly good indeed that you took the effort to clarify. As most of us know, each situation would differ and that there is usually no `hard and fast' rule. And two way communication is great. Please see below:- Yes, I was referring to sites or land area where the trees are `pretty' close to the buildings or houses. Trees such as 5 to 10 feet away. But in your case, it is quite far away at 20 or more feet. This is OK. Overall, I am an expert on trees or plants. But, I noticed that usually when majority of them grow larger i.e. within 3 to 5 years, (SOME) of these trees can get quite large and planting them within short distances may not be idea…

Dear Anon, Thanks for your description. In my opinion, it is inauspicious under the Shapes and Form Feng Shui for the staircase to be seen from the front door. Since it is inappropriate to use a screen, the door facing the staircase should not be opened. Overall, if you have a choice, (if you can) try to find another better house. As the above is bad Feng Shui and since one cannot use a screen; difficult to cure. Warmest Regards, Cecil
