I am looking to buy this house, the main door faces away from the road, but when I go to the kitchen, there is a carpark behind which seems to come directly at the house. I have attached a photo of what looks like from the kitchen. Is there any issue from the google maps that you see? Also this unit is on the second floor. Really need your help in this. Thank you for your help!! Added by Cecil Lee: I have deleted the two streetmap attachments to ensure privacy.

Yes, I have a graphic drawing under the reading materials showing that it is inauspicious to have a road behind the house. Usually, there are a few ways to neutralise this:- 1. It can be neutralised by having e.g. a bri ck wall or a fence with `privacy' screen or plants that `grow' on the fence. 2. Behind the fence if it is possible to grow some plants that one day become `bushes' that act as a screen. What we are trying to do is to symbolically use plants or if there is a brick wall to create a `solid backing' for the site. If the above is `done', this means that there is a protective backing behind the house even if you can view it at your first level, this is consider…

1. If you intend to DIY Feng Shui then, there are a host of concepts relating to first finding out whether are there are "wealth leaks" say in your home:-http://www.geomancy.net/wiki/Main_Page#Key_Success_Factors_in_D.I.Y._Feng_Shui 2. Thus what you had mentioned is too general to say for sure what is wrong. 3. Alternatively, you may want to consider getting a Geomancer to "troubleshoot" for you e.g. your home Feng Shui etc...

Dear Anon, 1. Pendulum Clock Yes, to some Feng Shui practitioner, it is a much better `cure' than say a " wind chime " as the `tick-toc' provides a constant `metallic' sound. 2. Rocking Chair This is "less well known" but has been used by some (more modern) FS practitioners, recommend it. Firstly, it has to go well with their clients. On the other hand, some FS practitioners may consider it less auspicious because of its rocking movement (unstable) as opposed to a solid and stable chair. Some of whom have solid armrests and some of the armrests have elaborate carvings on them. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Usually, the advise is not to use too many crystal balls. This case was because, this person used trial and error Feng Shui and would place a cluster e.g. more than 5 or 6 crystal balls at a particular location. It happened that he placed the crystal ball at a location, nothing happened and he placed more at the particular location. Therefore, there is a difference between using one crystal ball and over indulgence using so many crystal balls. We have to clearly understand the distinction between the two. I am thus concerned if one `over indulge' or `over eats' in such a situation. 2. At another location, he bought a water fountain and pla…

Hi, In a " cold " country, it is acceptable to have a chimney. It is a good feature to have in such houses especially in the winter as it provides warm to the household. You can say that it is the near equivalent of the stove if we want to see it that way. A stove is a very important part of the home. However, we may perhaps look at the positioning of the chimney. This is considered a more important factor. I remembered that a few persons also written in much earlier (in the previous forum) that in their country, they have water pipes running along the floor of the house. If I am not mistaken it is Sweden. - Hope my memory is correct here). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi, This is really a none issue under Traditional Feng Shui practise. You can consider the " role of tassels " generally under `customs or supersition ' and not Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear John, In my opinion as far as the Feng Shui of the house is concerned -- majority of the cures relate to placement of 6 coins. Frankly, so far, I have quite of RC clients and in this website... there is no compulsion to place or advice given to place inside the house things that you had mentioned. For six coins, as a cure under Flying Star Feng Shui, users in Singapore has an alternative of using 6 Singapore 1 dollar coins. (As shown under the following url - file reference: 6coins1.jpg:- http://www.geomancy.net/mypictures/cgi-bin/mypictures.cgi?img=0&search=6+coins&cat=all&bool=and&x=7&y=9 Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mara, This type of reasoning does not seem logical. It is like saying that the world is SQUARE? I can understand Muslims, having to pray facing Mecca and when they die and buried, their body i.e. head to legs face Mecca. This is a Muslim's belief. But, East? Why not West? or South? Frankly, if it is suppose to apply to the masses, then, this is a total untruth. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sonia, I took quite sometime to reply to your mail because, with the limited information, that you have provided below; it is difficult to `pin-point' your problems. An `L' shaped house need not be all too bad. In fact, if one is using Feng Shui, there are many types of analysis. What you have mentioned is focused only on a specific sector and in the interior of the house. Please see below:- If you have a bathroom door between your bed, one can place a side table and a table lamp on top of it. Under Feng Shui, it symbolises a `partition' between the two. If you feel uncomfortable with the two mirrors facing each other, a `cheap' alterative is to place a opague fi…

I have been married for 3 years and my marriage is on the rocks. During this time I met a wonderful person whom I am deeply in love with. He reciprocates my love but unfortunately doesnt seem ready to give me a commitment. Will the placing of romance cures like mandarin ducks and / or cystals in the southwest corner of the house benfit me or are those meant specifically for conjugal bliss ???

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, it is difficult to redress a sloping ceiling unless one physically remodel it to a flat roof or use a four poster bed with cloth or lace hanging on the top of the 4 poster support. 2. Usually, a full FS audit would be used to check on the house and there are certain interpretations of the mountain/water star combinations which in some cases reflect "romance" or show an interpretation of romance. Some houses when Feng Shuied may reveal good romance while others bad. Some houses do not reflect any combinations of romance sector. Therefore, Flying Star may or may not reflect these. 3. I therefore, cannot say for sure if the house has any effect. …

Hi, Cecil. Thank you for your answer. I believe, though, that the way I described the screen was ambiguous. I meant hat the vertices of the panels of the screen were pointing at the dingin table where we sit. Do you see what I mean? \/\/\/\/\screen ____ |____|table I also wanted to ask you: sometimes, blue is said to be wood and sometimes, water. Sometimes,brown is said to be wood and toerhs earth. Which is it? I read that water fourntians in the center of a home can be harmful becasue it drains away qi. SI this true? My final question: There's a building in Hong kong that sits on a hill and has a big square hole through the center of it. It looks like this from the front…

Dear Anon, 1. The test for a real treat is : for us to stand inside of our house - Main door and windows and look out directly. If we do not see a threat slicing straight into our house, this is normally not a threat. 2. However, if it is an angle of a house and it `cuts' into our house, this is considered a threat. 3. For office buildings, reflective glass can be considered as a threat, since it reflects or deflect light. 4. For the home, a threat can seeminly come from the walls of another house. For example, if the afternoon sun, shines onto this wall, and from our window, we get a really bad reflective glare, this can be considered as deflected, sha qi. A simple solut…

Dear Aquino, 1. Grey represents "water element". 2. Usually a harmonious colour e.g. external walls that can blend with this "water element" is white. This is because under the Five elements concept: `Metal' supports `Water' element 3. This is why, if one looks carefully at the `colour' wheel chart; and most "normal" Interior designers IDs/architects will often recommend white walls with this grey colour. I don't mean therefore to say that some IDs or architects can be "abnormal". 4. But often on an asthetic level we often do not see earth tones such as yellow, cream or beige or even peach go with this type of grey colour. 5. More often the orange redish tile (fire elem…

One has to be careful of the compass marking. As sometimes a sector may straddle between two sectors. In general, it looks more like a protusion. If so, look up at the chart I provided earlier.

Hi, This is different from having a roof over a landed property. Here, if you are using e.g. blue tiles, the impact is on your house. But if you are living in a Hi-rise building, with a miniature fountain, this will not impact on your apartment. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Sorry, really, no offence; but what you mentioned is pretty common. Even 20 years ago; there are already penthouse especially with jacuzzi on top floors; just that if you are not in the real estate or Feng Shui business; you may not have encountered this. When you mentioned pool at the roof garden; mentally, in my mind; I could easily name several developments with such things. For example, just last year, I audited a unit at Sixth Avenue Ville; which has a roof top pool. Here, one of my clients bought a resale flat that is below the pool. In Singapore, in the 1970's there were already several hotels with roof top pools. There are even more condos with swimming pools on …

Dear Richard, Please see below:- In authentic heaven and earth luck assessment, here are the main considerations: 1. It would be a disadvantage for a weak fire or strong water person especially the breadwinner to have a water position inside his / her home. 2. In authentic Feng Shui; the true `meaning' or the closest to a wealth corner for a water position is thru the application of Flying Star Feng Shui. For example, locations that have #6 or #7 and if the condition - is applicable; can exist with water position. Often, and depending on the Managing Agents or later, the MCST; such areas are common property. And, some condos have strict rules on placing anything a…

Best that the actual home is completed with photos is a good choice. As currently, this one picture unfortunatelydoes not give enough depth of understanding.

Hi, If you are mentioning that the roof above your own home has a pointed roof, in this situation, it is not a poison arrow. It then becomes a poison arrow to the opposite house if it is on the same `level' and when it points towards the main door of the neighbour's house. I hope, I got your question correctly. Warmest Regards Cecil

Dear Pam, I really can't get a good look at the picture. Only could see a little bit of the roof, not even sure what colour of the roof. If blue/gray, not very ideal colour for roof. As it blue/gray represents water element, and in I-Ching water usually represents difficulty. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research
