Dear Anon, Please see below:- It would not be advisable to have you rhead face the direction of the entrance to your room (door?). Alternatively, one should not sleep based on the `coffin' position with the legs facing the bedroom door. I know of some FS practitioners who would not mind: 1. as mentioned by u leaving a 45 degree hollow. 2. leaving the bed at the centre of the bedroom where the bedhead does not rest (at least against a wall). In my opinion, the above positions are not ideal or inauspicious - to me. Although your description of South = Fire is correct; any thing else, mentioned by you is hard to apply and there is no basis to say that South = you…

Dear Mr. Lee, Thank-you for this forum! I have been house-hunting for over a year. I purchased the "Finding a Good House " report and am delighted ! A house built in 1884-85, facing North has been on the market for nearly 3 years. The address is 610. A little used side street ends directly in front of the house. You can see way down this street when standing on the porch (good phoenix?) or is this shar chi energy running into the house? The back yard slopes downward- again bad form? The house is nearly a perfect rectangle, which I know is good form! I am trying to weigh out everything about this house. My birth date is 12/07/59. Thanks ever so much, Cynthia

Dear Derek, Based on the little information provided, you may have to use your personal feeling to determine where you feel comfortable with the placement of a fish tank. Bear in mind that the living room should have clear space and the fish tank can be e.g. a conversation piece or against a wall, where you and your family feel comfortable with. Normally, the Flying Star chart is used to find out if there is any imbalance (if any) at the location where one wants to place a fish tank. Or, because a specific location can activate the water star. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Tulip, 1. In my opinion, the most important thing to do is to make sure that the position of the bed conforms firstly to Shapes and Form Feng Shui. 2. This is where, the bed should preferably not be placed on the same wall as the bed. 3. Preferably, the bed sould be on the opposite wall as the bedroom door. 4. It should not be on the same wall as the toilet bowl. 5. The placement of bed to `conform' to the Eight House Theory should be of SECONDARY importance ONLY after Shapes and Form Feng Shui has been taken into consideration. 6. One should avoid placing the bed at odd angles such as e.g. at a 45 degree angle leaving a triangle `hollow' at the back of the bedroom …

Dear Val, In my opinion, with the little information available, it is difficult for me to say exactly for sure if the house you intend to buy is good or not. As you are buying it for an investment; it will be good if the house has good/excellent Shapes and Form. And under Shapes and Form, usually the plot of land and its surroundings has to be surveyed first. After which, other Feng Shui concepts and theories should also be used to look at the interior of the home. For investment, sound financial considerations should be made such as how well the property can be rented out; its rent value etc... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Marcus, In the west, bees generally signifies industrious and hardworking. For the Chinese, there is very little significance attached to bees. The only significance is that when it is associated with a monkey... a monkey and bee implies the hope for a promotion. I believe, that it is certainly a good sign for you:) Wishing you all the best on your new job! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Curtis, Please see below:- I am glad that you found the advise useful. For a split level house; it should not apply as what we would like to have is to apply the concept of clear space in the living room and the steps leading up to the split-level i.e. dining is part of this feature. Thus, in your case, there is certainly no need to use a partition. The partition or divider should be used if there is some adverse sha qi such as a toilet facing the main entrance. Here, you have to understand the following: 1. If you are doing a Feng Shui audit to determine which is the main entrance door; then, it would be a main concern as to which door to use to analyse …

Dear Gwen, 1. It is interesting to look at this concept first: " Accumulation of wealth ". 2. The key essence or key success factor; regarded by many Feng Shui Masters is to look at a piece of land i.e. be it as large as a city e.g. Canton and determine to see if the piece of land can be considered as `good' i.e. help to accumulate wealth for the residents or those within the `city'. 3. In Hong Kong, many millionaires or multi millionaires; consult a Feng Shui master to look at the site / plot of land on which they want to built their home. The key idea here is that the site can aid in the `accumulation of wealth'. 4. The Dragon Qi (Chi) For a city, it should be observed …

Dear Carpazia, Further to what I had mentioned earlier; we can look at the Eight House Theory from a different perspective by asking some questions: 1. How suitable is the house to the breadwinner? If the main entrance is the breadwinner's " death or disaster intangible force "; then this house is considered the most unsuitable to the breadwinner. 2. If the house is most unsuitable to the breadwinner - what does it imply/mean? It means that overall, the breadwinner would not enjoy a quantum leap in Feng Shui. Do note however, that if the Shapes and Form of the house is excellent (or exceptionally excellent) this can instead provide a quantum leap in Feng Shui. 3. If there…

Dear Subhas, In my opinion: 1. Although the plot of land is wide at the front and narrows to the back, check that the house does not have an odd shape. Preferably the house should be rectangular in shape. The rest could be the garden area. And proper landscaping can help to reduce the profile of the wide (front) and narrow back. 2. It would not be auspicious if the house where it sits on the land is downward sloping. The entire house should be on level ground. However, the back can be downward sloping. Where possible, proper drainage and if the house is on a hill, it depends on the construction or proper construction such as sinking of the piles and steps taken to preven…

Dear Curtis, The most effective method is as follows:- 1. Use Ba Zi together with Flying Star Feng Shui. 2. Knowing one's Ba Zi (element and strength) is crucial. For example: a person with weak wood element. 3. For each family member determine their element and strength. Here, for example, for a couple (husband and wife) it is best to determine the `binding' element that helps both parties element `grow'. So that, for example in the bedroom; if the binding element is `water'; then the wall can for example be painted blue or light blue. For the living room furniture e.g. couch blue/black or grey are the best colours to help `bind' the couple. 4. Please note that Flying St…

Dear Diane, As there are various FS theories, it depends on the application of these theories: 1. Shapes and Forms. Under Shapes and Form Feng Shui, both the ground floor and upper floor(s) should conform to this. Especially the placement of beds/ study table/furniture etc... 2. Eight House Theory. You can apply this to both the ground floor and upper floors(s) i.e. good to spent time at good sectors and/or (a bonus) facing a good direction. 3. Flying Star Theory. Other than to activate a mountain star, concepts of Flying Star can be applied at different levels. For mountain star (if it is found) should only be activated at the ground level of such a two storey house. It …

Dear Suzanne, Under the Eight House theory, there is really nothing much one can do especially if one's bed (rather than bedroom) is at a specific sector. Ideally it would be nice to have the bed located at one of the 4 good sectors but this is not possible for some of us. There are other considerations and most importantly: 1. Shapes and Forms. The placement of the bed should conform to the above. Especially where the bed should (where possible) be placed against a wall and opposite of the bedroom door. There are other considerations under Shapes and Forms. 2. Flying Star analysis. If one's concern is e.g. the `spook' sector at the bedroom; it would be good to try to ch…

Dear Suzanne, A `flat' refers to the British language term that is equivalent to "an apartment or even condominium. Therefore, a flat number refers to the apartment's number e.g. #17-04 etc... The free Flying Star flat/apartment number analysis report therefore provides information on the `auspicious/inauspicious' interpretation of a flat/apartment. Ref: www.geomancy-online.com (Flying Star House no. report). Warmest Regards, Cecil Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mary, In my opinion: 1. Examine the frontage of the house. Does the frontage have a main entrance and "further away" on the same frontage, a set of sliding glass? If this is the situation, it is usually not advisable to have too many openings i.e. opening the main entrance door at the same time as the sliding glass doors. 2. If the above is the case, a set of long sofa can be placed in front of the sliding glass door. 3. Some people would like to apply the Eight House theory i.e. such that they prefer to seat at locations that are beneficial to them. And if the above position is beneifical or one of your good sectors, and you often sit there than that's fine. 4. Anot…

Dear Bonnie, As this relates to the home, the Five Elements concept (in Traditional Feng Shui) has to be related to the Flying Star analysis. Where, each sector in the Flying Star analysis is looked at i.e. the interaction of the elements of the mountain star# + water star# + base number. The result of this interaction will determine whether there is any imbalances at the specific sector. What you mentioned is in my opinion very basic observations of the Five elements concept. In quite alot of replies, I do mentioned that because of the `bad' elements such as #5 misfortune and #2 sickness which are both earth elements and bad wood #3 are often found in the home in various…

Dear Felicity, In my opinion, it would be more frutiful to try to boost our luck in other areas (if we can). Namely under: 1. Feng Shui of the home - Shapes and forms of the home - Others such as Flying Star. 2. Pillars of destiny - personal luck. 3. Protect the house such as the main entrance door or windows from poison arrows. 4. As for how to counteract the effects of having the main entrance door under `death sector' ... we can do only that much ie. to comfort ourselves such as, closing the door when not in use or keep the location bright. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mogford, 1. I understand your `problem' faced trying to apply Feng Shui to your boat house. 2. A boat house is quite `similar' to a small apartment and dormitory. 3. Applying Feng Shui to your boat house is indeed very difficult and because of space constraints or the uniqueness of the layout, there is not much `enhancements' one can do other than: 3.1 To make the house boat as `cosy' or comfortable to the individual. 3.2 Application of Shapes and Forms is more crucial i.e. `parking' the boat in a secured and sheltered environment. Here, it is like houses which is on a barren land and subject to strong force of wind blowing. It is such unprotected situations e.g. sto…

Dear Jun, The two most important considerations are: 1. Try to the entire room rectangular /square and not odd shaped. This includes the existing and new area. 2. Avoid creating missing corners or sectors for the extension. It is best to have a top down view of the property to ensure that the house is not odd shaped. 3. If the house has a profile of a head i.e. head jutting out of the home, avoid making the `head' of the house heavy! An illustration of an auspicious house becoming inauspicious due to a heavy `head' is as follows:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/grandpa1.htm If one makes the head of the house heavy, it is very inauspicious and can result in death of the bread…

Dear Blanche, For an altar: Avoid placing it 1. facing the dining table. 2. on the opposite wall as the toilet. 3. facing the bedroom. 4. in the bedroom. 5. facing the main door. Otherwise, find a `private' corner of an area. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Blanche, 1. I believe in proper application of Feng Shui, usually the colour co-ordination and colour / material of furniture should take into consideration the personal element of the person and his/her partner. 2. This is where, a person's element is determined i.e. weak or strong element. In addition to this, if one has a spouse, the binding element of the two are usually taken into consideration especially in the bedroom and areas such as the living and dining room. 3. The Flying Star analysis is also taken into consideration under Para 2 and the particular sector i.e. South West. 4. If para 1, 2 and 3 is not taken into consideration, then you may have best to go…

Dear Anon, Overall, the home should be kept `bright' as opposed to dark (or darkness). Most of the time, "advise" provided would focus more on `interior' decoration and how each person (can be the individual or the FS practitioner) percieve about how sectors of the house can be `decorated'. Keep the basics correct such as good shapes and form, first. Warmest Regards, Cecil
