Dear Maria, In my opinion, this perhaps may have to do with symbolism. Perhaps, what you have read is that the particular author felt that photos above a fireplace could represent it being `burned' i.e. the fireplace represents fire. Any pictures above it may be symbolically `burned.' You could perhaps introduce a `neutral' element e.g. Earth e.g. pottery on the mantle piece of the fireplace. Especially, if one feels `uncomfortable' with it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. This year and next year based on the Lunar Calendar:- This year: 24 Jan 2001 to 11 Feb 2002 Next year: 12 Feb 2002 to 31 Jan 2003 We have to remember that the above dates should be considered instead of the start of each year. Thus `next year' does not start on 1 January 2002 but rather the first day of Chinese New Year or 12 February 2002. Please see below:- This year (2001 - refer to Para 1), which is the year of the Snake, the Grand Duke or Tai Su is located at South-South-East or 150 degrees. The location in conflict is the East. Next year (2002 - refer to Para 1), this is the year of the Horse. or South, 180 degrees. The location in conflic is the N…

Dear Avinash, Please refer to the attachment - file: layouta.gif You should take a compass reading at location A (looking at) point B. Once you determine the compass direction from A to B, you can then input the direction on a copy of a layout plan. With a protractor, you should then align it to the compass direction. For example, under layoutb.gif, if the main door is at 0 degrees, then you can add in the other compass directions. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Arturo, Under the Five Element analysis, knowing the element may not be enough. As this depends on whether it is a weak/strong wood or weak/strong metal combination. Weak wood Strong metal Weak wood Weak metal Strong wood Weak metal The above combinations can result in different `readings' and different "binding" elements that can help both parties grow. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Rosemary, There is step-by-step guide as to how to apply the Eight House Theory under this link: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm More importantly, you should do the following: 1. Have a layout plan of your house. 2. Find the centrepoint of the house. 3. From the centrepoint plot in the exact compass direction i.e. North / South - East / West. 4. Get the eight house chart or use a transparency and write down each of the intangible forces on the layout plan. For more information, please refer to the aboce link. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Monique, Although the octagonal window does not pose a `threat' i.e. poison arrow; most probably, there is an element of `superstition'. Perhaps your neighbour felt that now, the bathroom `became' obvious and to them, it could be that it is thus considered inauspicious to have their door distinctly `facing' the bathroom. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Derek, If you are taking the compass direction of your unit's main entrance door, this should usually be the door to your unit i.e. as you had mentioned it should be the `North'. Usually, taking the exterior door direction is meant more for analysing e.g. a building rather than the unit itself. If you still require help, you can upload a sketch of the layout for my comments. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Rohit, The situation, you face is very common for most of us. Do take note that the Eight House Theory is but one of the many theories. More importantly, it is used for: 1. How suitable the house is to you. 2. Even if both partners are `opposites' this should not be an issue. One can also apply the `shield' i.e. one partner who has favourable sector sleeps closer to that sector, while the partner, sleeps on the other side.

Dear Kyra, For sha qi or poison arrows, the main concern would be whether, the poison arrow is aimed directly towards the main entrance door or the window(s). Based on your brief description, looks like the Shapes and Form of this house is not that favourable. Initially, try to see, by standing at the main entrance (looking out) and from the various windows of your home to check for poison arrows. If there are poison arrows, do try to `protect' these locations. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Arturo, As much as we like to sleep in good positions, however, if there is no way in which we can sleep in a better direction, then really no choice. Another consideration is that the first priority is that we should place our bed in a good Shapes and Form position. For example, the bed should preferably be against a wall. Where possible, the bed should not be on the same wall as bedroom door. These are some of the `first priorities'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Luna, Yes, you may place a metallic wind chime against #5. As moving metal is more effective against #5 as opposed to stationery metal e.g. 6 coins above the main door. Anyway, the lunar year for this year starts from 24 Jan 2001 and will end on 11 Feb 2002, soon. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anamika, Feng Shui is about trying to increase the `earth' luck of the house. And should be applied in a `holistic' way. I feel that the most crucial aspect of Feng Shui is the house's Shape and Form i.e. can the house collect wealth? If the house can collect wealth (based on Shapes and Form) Feng Shui, then one may not do a FS audit and yet, luck flows in to the owners. This would account for many people who never seek FS advise yet, have very good luck (most of the time). I have thus coined this " Quantum Leap " in Feng Shui. Where, one would already receive say 50% to 70% added luck for the house. For excellent houses, such Quantum Leap in FS luck can even be 90%…

Dear Anamika, Apologies, I am unable to comment on any Black Hat Sect practices as it is considered a marketing ploy and has no basis in Traditional FS practices. For example, one can never find *BTB* practised in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong or in the Far East. For example, in my country (Singapore) no one practises it. In many of such countries - such " practices " are condoned. Although the `founder' of *BTB* came from Taiwan to US; none of his countrymen in Taiwan I believe practices such pseudo stuffs.

Dear Anon, You should apply the concept: "If it cannot no longer be seen, it is no longer a threat". Here, the best way to deal with it is to use e.g. blinds or curtains (to block the view). If you use curtains, you can have two layers e.g. a day curtain and a night curtain. As you had mentioned that you have a blind, although it would be great (Or nice to have) a view of the outside, if the poison arrow is aimed directly towards the window, it is still best to close it or use the blind to reflect out the poison arrow -- best to forgo the view in such a situation. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Amy, Perhaps, you can search Yahoo.com or other search engines for topics like " Feng Shui emporium" I believe there are lots (lots) of such ecommerce stores selling just about any crystals. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Maria, The main thing to remember is that if the house is already (for example, a period 7 house i.e. 1984 to 2003), it does not matter if renovation works is carried out, last year or next year as it will still have the Period 7 influence. In my opinion, there are many varied interpretations of what constitutes a missing corner. Some examples are: 1. You can apply the 33.3 percent ruleset where if a renovation is major only if it is equal or greater than say 33.3 percent of the floor area of the entire house interior. For example, if your house has a floor area of 1,000 sq. feet, then if there is a renovation that is equal or greater than 333 sq feet, can be consid…

Dear Kim, Traditionally, even if the Front door is never used, for Feng Shui audit purposes, both this door and your `other front door' should be analysed. Especially if one is applying Flying Star Feng Shui. The purpose of this is to compare the two charts to see which is more favourable to the owner. And at the same time, the charts can be used to look at which is more accurate. Usually, by definition; the main door is one where the house number is placed onto it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Collen, For a more accurate definition of the significance of a missing corner or protusion, you can look up the url below:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/building.htm Here are the interpretation of sectors with missing corner:- 1. North : Will meet with an accident. 2. North-East : Occupant will have poor planning. 3. East : Will be easily discouraged or suffer from low morale. 4. South-East : Daughters will not be successful in love affairs. 5. South : Will mix with bad company or be cheated. 6. South-West : Have constant bad luck. 7. West : Will frequently flirt around. 8. North-West : Will have frequent quarrels. For an apartment, Feng Shui cures with regards to apa…

Dear Erika, Feng Shui of the home is also like a `test' or examination. Where there is 100 marks. This is where, there are many principles involved in Feng Shui and we can try to allocate marks to each category. Feng Shui is all about increasing one's luck. In my opinion, the score or breakdown of scores in Feng Shui is as follows:- a. Shapes and Form of the House = 60% b. Compass School Feng Shui Eight House Theory = 20% Flying Star = 25% Total = 100 percent From the above example, one should consider the amount of luck derived from Shapes and Form Feng Shui. Homes that can accumulate luck and/or have poison arrows neutralised can have better Fe…

Dear Anamika, 1. Some of us are more sensitive than others with regards to the placement of a mirror facing the bed. 2. If the mirror is not facing any part of the bed (of the bedroom) then this is still considered OK. 3. If there is an attached bathroom in the master bedroom, a side table with a reading lamp can be used to act symbolically to shield the bed from the bathroom (door). 4. As mentioned by you; for mirrors, if it is placed in the bathroom door, it should preferably be placed on the inside of the toilet door (facing the bathroom) and not on the door facing the bedroom. 5. In my opinion, it is not compulsory to place a mirror on the inside of a toilet door fo…

Dear Anamika, For application of colours, it is advisable: 1. If one is not sure what colours to use, then neutral colours can be used. For example white or pastel shades (light shades) should be used for both interior and exterior walls. 2. It does not matter if the exterior wall is facing east and therefore, we assume that the inner wall is facing west. We should instead consider that sector as being in the `east'. Here, we should look at both this external wall and interior wall as located in the east than to say that one side face east while the other faces west. 3. If one uses, Feng Shui, the colour of the room walls should preferably be painted to suit the element …

Dear Anon, In my opinion, it sounds more like the wishes, one hopes to receive - similar to chain e-mails. If one really has the time to do so, there is really no harm .... then the time / ink ... (I am not encouraging this but...) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon Frankly, there is really not much one can do but to apply the concept `if it no longer seen it will not become a threat'. Thus, close the toilet door, when not in use. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, It depends. Perhaps the mirror was installed before you moved in. If not, one good starting point is.. what was one's rationale for placing the two mirrors are. Is it because, it is part of the decor or is that it was because; an advise or suggestion that mirrors are good for the home. It is particularly interesting to note that not all but quite alot of Chinese epecially Cantonese dialect group, love to place a large mirror facing the `dining' table. It was felt that, a mirror facing the dining table was good especially if food or fruits are placed on the dining table as they `reflect' twice the number food i.e. symbollically representing `abundance'. In Feng …

Dear Kim, Apologies, this site does not discuss BTB methods. As far as I am aware, there are no practitioners in the Far East and in Hong Kong or Taiwan practising such things. It is felt that BTB is a modern marketing invention by one man. If you are apply Compass School methods i.e. The Eight House or Flying Star Feng Shui, then, do look at how the main entrance door is been surveyed using the following example/link:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/cecilcompass.htm Under Flying Star Feng Shui, this is the method used:- 1. Even if one does not make use of the main entrance door, so long as the door has a house number, one should also try to draw a Flying Star Chart to analy…
