Dear Karen, 1. There are many different issues in Feng Shui and Ba Zhi (Pillars of Destiny) and Yin and Yang concepts with regards to determining/recommendation as to the colour in a room. 2. This message would not be able to address all the above. And furthermore, `knowledge sector' is not practised here. 3. With regards to colours, `earth' colour or any other colours, you may have to take it in the context of Yin (darker) and Yang (brighter colours). Since your preference or comfort level is a darker room, it should do. Usually, earth colour is associated with Yellow. I am not sure what is the exact colour i.e. mauve.. if it dark, then, it could instead be `wood' colou…

Dear Judy, Based on Feng Shui, one has to try and protect `entrances': 1. Entrances such as the main entrance door and windows. 2. In your situation, determine whether, the broken tree stump is now a `sha qi': 2.1 Stand at the main entrance or the window(s) especially if the tree stump is tangent or `cut's across or slice thru the main entrance or a window. 2.2 If, the above is true; then, it is best to try and take immediate action as soon as possible, such as `cutting' down the rest of the tree and remove the roots. 2.3 If the tree stump does not cut thru the window or main entrance, then, you can take your time to uproot or remove the tree especially if it no longer co…

Dear Diane, Usually, the preferred location is in the living room. If it is placed in the living room, preference is not to raise it too high. If you have a separate room that can hold the aquarium it is equally fine. It is best not to place the aquarium behind the house or in a room behind the house. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Johnny, 1. If one uses a Ba Gua mirror, it should have a convex mirror at the centre (e.g. like those placed at car park blind spots. It should not be concave as this is meant to `absorb' rather than deflect. 2. For your mum's room, ideally, you could use curtains. For example, two layers of curtain i.e. day curtain and night curtain. In the day time, day curtain could be used to shield against this poison arrow. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Roasline, Here are some guidelines to the placement of an ancestor's tablet:- 1. Avoid placing it immediately facing the front entrance (main door). Here, the implication is that it is disrespectful to let an ancestor become the guardian of the house. 2. Avoid placing it facing a toilet or on the same wall as the toilet. 3. If possible, avoid placing it in the kitchen. 4. Try to find some place in the living room area. Preferably facing outwards i.e. facing an open window (if you can). Warmest Regards, Cecil

sir, here are some more information 1. Are the drains coverable? It would not be ideal for the drain water to flow from west to east or remain stagnant. ans: partially, enough for 4 people to walk in together into the restaurant, the rest is open, along the road i.e just infront of the main door it is covered. 2. Currently what is the distance between the drain and the main entrance? ans: around 4-5 feet 3. Is the drain parallel to the front entrance? ans: yes it is 4. Are there now plants outside the main entrance. If so, how many plants and how large are they? Are they planted or in pots. ans: There are 4 big potted plants sorry for inconvenience thank you madi

Dear Janaki, From a Shapes and Form point of view under Feng Shui, yes, it is inauspicious to have a toilet door facing the main entrance. This is usually a fundamental flaw and difficult to correct. The only option to REDUCE the effect is to see if the toilet door can be `partitioned' away from the view of the main entrance. Try as we might, sometimes it is difficult to `cure' fundamental flaws in the house. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wasis, 1. The term " Flying Star Feng Shui " and " Xuan Kong Feng Shui " is one and the same. 2. In fact, if one looks carefully at the naming convention in this forum, under the topic header "Flying Star (Xuan Kong Fei Xing)" one will come to understand that Flying Star is indeed Xuan Kong Fei Xing. 3. As money plants prefer some shade, in country which is near the equator, and subject to direct sunlight; it is very common to see money plants planted just below expressway flyovers i.e. the shaded ground. These money plants grow very well such that they look like a vast carpet `grass' covering these areas. As to whether one can plant a money plant in the soil; it can…

Dear Wasis, Would it be possible for you to upload a .gif or .jpg or .bmp file for a clearer understanding of your situation. Usually, you should leave out the main gate as this should not be considered the main entrance. For the main entrance, for many homes, there are usually two doors to the main entrance or distinctly, in many instances, the main entrance door can be seen from the frontage of the house. Or when we drive-in to the house, we could see the main entrance door. Alternatively, it should be the `largest' door in the home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kerrie, Frankly, I do not know where to begin advising you on concepts such as "fame" area. These are non-traditional FS practises. Neutral colours such as white or pastel white colours are best if one is not sure what colour to paint a wall. Alternatively, instead of speculating on what to paint the wall at the "fame" area - you could perhaps, make a choice based on your personal feelings or consulting family members on the colour. Where possible, in such an instance, do not be `taken' in by suggestions on how to `brighten' up the fame area... These are not proper FS theories ... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Diane, In general, where it concerns the compass location at north east, it is best to avoid creating or enhancing the location to become too yin. This also depends on the size of your aquarium. Where water is considered a Yin element and too much of it may not be good for this sector. However, further FS audit may be needed such as: 1. What is the lighting level (especially natural light) that goes into this room/area? More natural light -- more yang and good. 2. How large is the aquarium. 3. If a Flying Star analysis has been done; how many #numbers relate to Yin at this sector? Where possible, the Flying star #numbers at this sector should have more Yang influence…

Dear Joey, For accessing the third floor accomodation, one should take into the consideration the main door location at south-west for taking the compass reading under Flying Star analysis for the room. Warmest Regards, Cecil

I had an apartment a couple of years ago with a toilet/bathroom in the dead center. I suffered from the worst health in my life and had to have a major operation. Once I found out about FS I realized we have to move asap. I've not had the health problem since (of course the operation helped. LOL

Dear Ian, Can u elaborate further as to the two doors. Are they the main entrance or two doors within a main entrance area. Usually, one will not be too concerned with the effect of the two doors unless, one is trying to determine which door to apply as the main entrance when applying the Flying Star Theory of the compass school Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. In my country, I do encounter several old houses such as bangalow houses i.e. over 100 years old that has been transformed into quad or duplex houses. 2. In one such house, it became `sunken' in relation to other developments around it i.e. new buildings next to it on higher raised ground. In this particular house (or quad-units) the house is considered `entrapped' and surrounded by taller more modern buidlings surrounding it. From my personal observations of the house, for the past 5 years: 1. The owner of one particular unit at the ground level (entrapped house) had difficulty trying to find a buyer for it. 2. Progress for the breadwinner was slow and whil…

Dear Gagan, 1. Usually, this is due to the sickness #2 and/or #5 (Flying Star Theory) within certain areas of your home particuarly the bedroom. 2. In general, without much investigations using the above theory, you could try placing 6 i-ching coins tied with a red string and hang it above the room. (Usually, an FS audit should be done in such situations to determine the exact location). However, you may try to place it around the bed area. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Chee Kiat, I totally agree with what you had said. 1. In East such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, China and Singapore, we have always learnt that Feng Shui does not depend on highly commercialised products that are produced to satisfy the `demand' and driven by unscrupulous people in the name of " Feng Shui ". 2. When I tried to do a search under the search engines for Feng Shui products; for our friend in Portual; I found several Feng Shui emporiums that have tied in with so called Feng Shui practitioners to help `push' their products. 3. Feng Shui is now so contaminated and commercialised by all these association with material goods which are highly marked up and only to f…

Dear Gail, 1. Yes, it is considered inauspicious to have the front door open to steps. 2. If there is some distance between the two; then a divider or a screen could be used to neutralise this or (I am not sure how `ugly' a curtain or beads look) but the concept here is: `if it cannot be seen (stairs) it no longer poses a threat'. 3. In addition, take sometime to look out of the front door and windows to look out for any `poison arrows'. Here poison arrows usually refer to pointed objects or an edge of a building pointed towards the front door or windows. Or it could be a lone lamp post `slicing' thru the window or door. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kristina, 1. In my opinion, based on your initial feedback that the hous is beautiful, large and airy... you could perhaps, first apply the adage " If it ain't broken, don't fix it.". 2. Many people, actually do not need the help or `assistance' of Feng Shui to prosper or enjoy good luck. 3. This is because, majority of the time, a house with good Shapes and Forms (both external and internal of the house) provides a quantum leap in `LUCK'. 4. Feng Shui and other Chinese divinity methods is in some sense, all about increasing one's `LUCK'. 5. If one has a quantum leap i.e. excellent Shapes and Form; this is already a significant boost in LUCK. Any additional increa…

Dear Chee Kiat, In my opinion, there is really not much one can do in such a situation especially since this is the building. Since the toilets are there, it can be quite different from a home especially if the ratio of toilet area is much smaller than the entire building and in most cases, the toilet bowls may not be exactly at the centre or ideally should occupy one external wall. (if possible). What is more important here is that where possible, your office's main door should not be facing the toilet entrance. I believe this is not so; in your case. It would be better if the toilet has double doors or an extra door; leading into the male/female toilet or an individual…

Dear Betty, 1. For pictures associated with the ocean, so far, (in my opinion) the belief is not to have a picture of a stormy sea. Or to have a fish tank in the bedroom. 2. But in your case, it is my opnion that it is still perfectly acceptable to have an ocean theme in your bedroom i.e. to have shells and pictures (calm weather pictures). 3. Sometimes, in my opinion such books or authors cause unwarranted/unnecessary alarm to everyone especially if the information is "sketchy ". `Water' element would be particulary benificial to a person who is either : weak water or strong fire person. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Pam, In Buddhism, in the past, monks used to supplement their `income' or donations to their temple by offering `readings' such as the " Three lives " or using bone divination. Here, a reading is done for one's past life, present life and future life. Where one's past has an influence on the present and perhaps the future (or roughly equating to the Krama, you had mentioned). Some of the " Three Lives " can be incorporated into another variation of Pillars of Destiny module. You have brought up an interesting issue on `Karma' and currently, in some aspects being a " bad person " has varing degrees and can also be a subjective issue. The terms of reference of Feng Sh…

The story about the Five Coloured Paper used in Qing Ming: In ancient China, there was once an Emperor who took over the throne. After he took over the throne, he visited the location where his father was buried. Legend was that he looked everywhere but could not find the tomb. He nearly gave up until, one of his loyal aids; asked him to throw the `five coloured paper' (which can also be written on). He threw the `five coloured paper' and one of them was lodged in the grass field. True enough, it was his father's tomb. Hence, it was said that from that day onwards, Chinese besides giving offering also placed colourful paper (5 types of colours) and insert them around th…
