Hi Cecil, I like to applaud the generosity and kindness that you have displayed here to someone that is met with such a turn of event. I can understand how Elaine feel at this moment as I am also a casualty of such fate myself. I do believe in Cause and Effect, and this seed that you have planted will definitely yield many good returns for your kindness and benevolent action. I personnally has experienced many well known and renowned FS master in Asia and the first reply to my plead was the pricing structure instead how they can help someone in distress. You are the first that I have come across in the last 24 months that is concerned with the problem of the person rather…

Dear Rebecca, Usually, we should take the shape of crystals based on various shapes that we like and thus wear them. Overall, there are so many different shapes and designs and it is quite difficult to place them into specific categories. The shapes you mentioned, heart, star are usually worn symbollically as a decor linked perhaps to `romance' or love. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi....a very good day to everyone. I am currently facing with many problems eg. financial, family and career ...... I wonder whether this could be due to the feng shui of my house. My house is facing Southwest. I understand if bad chi flows in a house it would cause many problems and unrest to the residents.

Dear SY, Thank you for your layout plan. Yes, the layout is pretty `unique' and sometimes it may not be feasible to simply divide it into shapes such as eg. Two `L' shapes as they may not be such. In your case, the preferred option is to make a photocopy of the layout plan or print it. Paste/glue the photocopy on a cardboard. Next `cut-out' the outline of the layout plan. You use a nail to balance the layout. When you are able to balance the entire `cut-out' layout, i.e. centre of gravity then use this point as the centre-point of the home. You can then from here determine the direction to the main entrance. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Angela, Apologies, if I side-track a-bit... Two years back, after buying my new home, I grew a bamboo tree. The rationale for bamboo tree was that I calculated, within two years, it would be useful. The reason was because my new house has a personal enclosed space. Althought the house is perfectly suited to me i.e. most suitable house under the Eight House and it also has a double `7' flying star in the current Period 7. Although it is considered an excellent house; like my previous home, it can have a fair share of `poison arrow(s)' that may need to be corrected. Just nice, when I shifted in end of last year, this bamboo tree was there to `cover' or protect my livi…

Red Carpet

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 Rochelle, In a very recent message in this forum under this same conference, a user has asked for advise on this issue. If your apartment is small, there is usually a constraint in correcting a spiral staircase. If you have a sketch, I would be happy to take a look at it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Rose, Normally, mathematics can be used as an analogy to your question: 1. Feng Shui is about `earth luck'. While Pillars of destiny is about `heaven's luck'. 2. Feng Shui and other Chinese divinity methods are all about trying to increase one's luck. 3. How then do we increase our `earth luck'.? 4. Quantum Leap in Feng Shui For earth luck, the major idea is to either have a quantum leap in Feng Shui luck e.g. a home with good or excellent FS qualities. A home with Quantum Leap in Feng Shui may bring in say e.g. 60 to 90 percent of all the luck there is for the home. 5. Without doing anything, for example, a person staying in such a home will automatically receive …

The viewing of a new flat during the seven-month ghost festival may be considered inauspicious due to cultural beliefs

IN SUMMARY " Viewing a new apartment during the seven-month ghost festival might be seen as unlucky because of cultural beliefs about the spirits of the departed. It's wise to consider local traditions and feelings when scheduling such events during this time." - Cecil Lee, Geomancy.net +++ Dear Jeffrey, 1. I believe there are different views on what actions to take or avoid during the 7th month. 2. The key point is to refrain from traveling or being away from home (like camping, for instance). 3. Personally, I think it's still 'acceptable' to look at a house. However, some FS professionals might not fully agree with this. Thus, we…

Dear Vicki, 1. There are two major theories/concepts to refer to on the placement of water positions. 2. The two major concepts are:- 2.1 Shapes and Form Feng Shui Here, it would depend on the type of water position. If the water position is flat e.g. a ground level pond e.g. for koi fish etc... than this can be represented by `clear space'. But if it is a fish tank, usually the fish tank is tall with leg stand, than it cannot represent `clear space'. `Clear space' is akin to a bird flying freely infront ... unobstructed. Usually water positions that provide clear space are especially good at the frontage of the home. While fish tank should be placed against a wall. Hong…

Dear Rochelle, 1. For info, it would normally be very inauspicous to see a spiral staircase, especially if one is standing at the main entrance facing inwards of the home. I hope that this is not your case. 2. Usually to `tame' the spiral staircase; two methods are used:- 2.1. Placement of plants around the staircase (ground level) especially the side facing outwards. For example if the spiral staircase is close to a wall, two potted plants can be placed on the `other side' to conceal part of the steps leading out of the staircase. 2.2. The placement of forks. Here, one can use two metal forks (those common fork and spoon) type of fork and aim it towards each side of the …

Dear Kyra, 1. In my view, when we are uncertain whether a piece of advice will be effective, it is wise to refrain from placing the object in that particular location. 2. This aligns with the commonsense principles of Feng Shui. 3. For instance, many of us have encountered the notion that having a bedroom situated above a kitchen is considered 'inauspicious.' The reasoning behind this is based on common sense. In the event of a fire in the kitchen, smoke and flames rise, which would be unfavorable, especially if a fire were to occur there. 4. Likewise, if we position a mirror, such as one made of glass or silicone, near a heat source, the glass may not…

Dear Henry, Please see below:- Yes, in my opinion, it is good to lit up the hallway. For the falling water, normally, it is placed either outside the office e.g. the entrance or alternatively; within the reception counter area. From your description, since this is a narrow hallway, it would be difficult to place a waterposition at this area. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Diana, Under the Eight House Theory, it is good to learn that the house is considered suitable for your husband. Especially if he is the breadwinner. One should not be too concerned if the main door is not as auspicious for the rest of the family members. Please note that, under the Eight House Theory, one should try to spend more time at a good sector (in the home). There should not be much concern if one does not spent too much time at a specific sector. Consideration should be given to which rooms each family member stays in. Please see below:- This is OK especially if your husband is the breadwinner. It does not matter even if it is an auspicious sector.…

Dear Wasis, In my opinion, phone numbers are considered secondary and not of primary importance. In addition, there are many definitions of how auspicious or inauspicious a phone number can be. Since more phone numbers have not less than 6 or 7 digits, it would be most likely that there will be many combinations of numbers in our phone number. And some of these numbers may happen to be good or bad. Thus numerology calculations or formulas may defer greatly between many people... For me, I would just brush this aside... and keep my phone number since, many people are already aware of it. Another thing is that if one were to strongly belief on the formula provided; one ma…

Dear Kathy, Please see below:- It is usually not advisable to base on just one Feng Shui theory and say for sure that the main front door is inauspicious:- Of-course, under the Eight House Theory, it is best to have a home that has a suitable main entrance door but:- 1. Under Shapes and Form Feng Shui; One should also consider the statement " Protect, protect, protect". If one were to say shift the main door to orientate to a good direction; one should consider if any threats to the main entrance. For example, the new door position could encounter a lone lamp post or a sharp corner of another building. Alternatively, it could now be oriented towards the North-East (…

Dear Marianne, The fixed Ba Gua template was invented in the mind of one person. Please read the article on him:- http://www.qi-whiz.com/confess.html In traditional Feng Shui, it is advisable not to use fixed templates. There are two Compass School methods: Eight House and Flying Star. An illustration on the use of the Eight House theory is available under: htt://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm Overall, I see that you are trying to apply the `fixed template' which is not practised in the East e.g. China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Far East countries like Malaysia and Singapore. In my opinion, the `method' you had mentioned should not be used. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Zarminae, Under the url below:- http://www.geomancy.net/polls/ You will find an interesting survey: " Are you comfortable sleeping facing a TV set (mirror)? A short simple 3 questions survey. " In the survey, it is interesting to find that many people feel that mirrors facing the bed may not be an issue. The test here is that if you feel comfortable despite the position of the mirror in your bedroom this is acceptable. But if you feel uncomfortable especially after waking up the next morning, then... it is best to re-site the mirror. Therefore, this would have to depend on a case-by-case basis. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Siew Foong, 1. One option is to plant trees within the estate. When the trees mature (and depending) on the type of tree, some trees when they mature; can grow to the height of the 5th storey / floor or higher. 2. Other `artificial' means would be to close the window. These are the two points, I can thing of for now... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Siew Foong, Please see below:- The bed can be in the middle of the room. But usually, it is best to place the `head' of the bed against a wall. For the bed not to be against the wall:- Once I visited a client and he mentioned that Master Yap Cheng Hai, had visited his home and suggested placing the bed in the `middle' of the room. I understand was because it was to orientate away from an inauspicious (Eight House Theory sector). The most important consideration is that it (the bed or study table) should preferably be next to i.e. on the opposite wall especially the toilet bowl. This is still acceptable. This depends on the layout plan. As I do not have t…

Dear Siew Foong, Please see below:- Presently, the information is too general to give you good advise. You may like to look at the placement of the furniture e.g. computer table / work table based on: 1. Good Shapes and Form Feng Shui. 2. Utilise the Eight House Theory to see if the tables can be placed in good sectors for each member. 3. Take a look out of the window of these rooms to see if there are any poison arrows. What one cannot see, it no longer becomes a threat. Warmest Regards, Cecil
