Dear Brenda, The Flying Star School of Feng Shui (Compass School) Feng Shui uses numerology such as #1 to #9. #2 is associated with Sickness #5 is associated with Misfortune Both #2 and #5 represents the EARTH element. And yes, since both are Earth elements, #2 and #5 is associated with Yellow colour (or Earth element). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Brenda, Usually, the specific sector is looked at before, providing comments i.e. particularly using Flying Star to check on the elements at that sector with the hope that it is balanced. Paying `homage' to a sector i.e. North = career may not be the right thing to do. However, in my opinion, you can at best take it as interior decor for your home i.e. feel nice with the 3 plants at that area? Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Julia, Frankly, there is not much one can enhance in a small apartment. Where possible, try to make it as `cosy' as possible depending on the one's needs. Needs depend on:- Whether the apartment is used as a `haven' to return to after busy work schedule or used partially for sleep and study. The major principle of Yin and Yang can be applied in the room. Such as making the room more Yin (for good night rest) or semi-yin and yang (for study/relaxation or sleep). Please see below:- Realistically speaking, not much one can do here. It is good to close the bathroom door when not in use. If there is the luxury of a side table; one can place a lamp on it to serve a…

Dear Andy, Since it is not an entrance door (main door); the upper floor in this case, should not be considered in isolation from the ground unit. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Joann, 1. You may not aware that part of the netiquette is not to use all CAPITAL letters. This is like `Shouting'. 2. To use the SEARCH feature; do not type in a whole string of words such as " WHICH WAY SHOULD MY FRONT DOOR FACE ". For basic or advanced Search, do not type in a whole sentence. But rather type specific key words. 3. To find out the direction your front door should face, please look thru some of the following references first:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/cecilcompass.htm and how to use the Eight House theory:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm or use the Free online tools at:- http://www.geomancy-online.com 4. When you mentioned `What direction …

Dear Brenda, Generally, it should not pose any problems with the light yellow comforter. (Especially if or there are no #5 or #2 in the sector). Perhaps, you can monitor the situation i.e. for any health related problems or sickness. (Within 1 month of using it) If there is, none of the above, it is fine. If there is, try to avoid using it or place 6 i-ching coins tied with red string and hang it above the bed. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Miss Quiss, 1. Not all situations are the same as it also depends on the layout of the house especially since you mentioned that there is an `east' wall immediately backing the fish tank. 2. If you have placed the fish tank for quite some time i.e. more than 3 months without any effect i.e. particularly sickness for the spouse; and/or finance keepings going out. If one does not face difficulties as mentioned under Para 2, this is fine. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Brenda, Frankly, my new house is also peach (or rather cream coloured). I find it quite a chore to have it repainted to my favourite colour - netural white. So long as these colours are bright - creating more a yang (bright) look, it is still acceptable. As to whether to place 6 coins, in my opinion, there is no harm to do so. On the other hand, I would rather, check to see if any family members have frequent bouts of sickness. If so, it would be better to place the 6 coins in the same room for family members that frequently get ill. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Brenda, Frankly, sometimes it is difficult to change the interior of the house especially the plumbing i.e. relocation of say the kitchen sink. We may have to live with such a situation. I believe that there is nothing more, in Feng Shui that we can do here. Other than, shift it away and make clear space. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Karen, 1. Red tile roof or clay coloured roof tile is a common preferred choice. 2. For painting the entire house, it is always best to paint the walls white or alternatively pastel shades of any other colour be it beige or cream - which are acceptable. 3. This is because, other than white or off-white; cream or beige or shades of it is often the choice of colour of architects and interior designers. So long as the colour(s) are light or pastel shades (making the wall bright) this should be acceptable. Here, the idea is (other than the bedroom) is to make the house `bright' rather than dark. 4. Another reason is that, if there is an imbalance at a particular sector,…

Dear Josephine, Perhaps, it is too early to say whether for sure there are any problems since you only slept one night away from your bedroom. It is good to try further as there may also be other unrelated reasons... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wasis, For info, there may be deviations in interpretation by many practitioners on this issue: 1. Fire element? Some FS practitioners may view it as a Fire element: 1.1. Some consider, electricity i.e. using the PC (chiefly thru electricity or circuit boards i.e. memory, cpu and hardware as Fire element. Where fire = electricity. 1.2 If the business is related to software production, and thru the end result the `package': A marketing or sales personnel, who markets the product can be considered under the Fire element. Or hopefully under the Fire element (with the hope) that the product can be successful i.e. `fiery' sales or preference for activity. 2. Water element…

Dear Veraa, 1. In my opinion, it is not adviseable to place any objects (if possible) at the centre-point area of the home especially if it is a fish tank. 2. In your case, it would not be auspicious to see three shadows of knives as (in my opinion) it represents Sha Qi. 3. As for the effect of the three containers, if it is already placed there, you should monitor the situation closely especially for the next month to three months (as the effect would be felt if any during this time). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Brenda, In my opinion, flower prints including leaves are acceptable on comforters and sheets. In fact, quite alot of bed sheets/spreads do use the flower/leaf theme. Unlike: 1. Actual plants where; when it grows, a more create yang environment. 2. Actual water, creates too yin i.e. fish tank in the bedroom or a picture of a rushing water-fall or `choppy' seas / waterfall. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, In my opinion, there are no perfect `EXCELLENT' house. If one finds that overall the house is comfortable and nice, go ahead and purchase it especially if the external shapes and form is good. If all family members feel nice with the house, chances are; it would be good/acceptable. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Tom, 1. From what I understand, rubber trees was originally imported into Singapore botanic gardens. 2. Later on, because of the significance of latex, rubber trees were grown particularly in West Malaysia where the sap is `milked' and carefully made into latex sheets. These sheets are very smelly. 3. When I was young, I remembered my grandparent (mother's side) own a rubber plantation and I particularly liked `playing' with the seeds.. where, one rubs it on a surface e.g. tile and it heats up and feels warm to the touch. 4. Rubber trees can grow particularly tall and I believe what you mentioned is only a plant. If it is planted in a pot, the tree would not grow lar…

Dear Diane, 1.In my opinion, kei loons and especially a pair of lions are usually decorative items. 2. In many parts of China, one can see a huge pair of lions outside the entrances of large buildings. 3. In my opinion, there is nothing really magical in them other than they give an imposing `confidence' to the building(s). 4. In Singapore, a pair of lions (large ones) are very popular also. For example, one can see a pair of lion statues outside the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, Singapore. At the main entrance of Ngee Ann City (mega) city. Many temples also have the lion statues "standing guard". 5. In my opinion, kei loons are more commonly placed in homes or above the p…

Dear Anon, Another area, you can look at or minimise miscarriages is to check whether there is a #5 (misfortune) especially in your bedroom. You can generate the free flying star report and check if #5 is in the bedroom where you are staying in. (In a more advanced level the 81 combinations of the two stars may give a clue as to the type of problems which may be associated with miscarriage) If so, #5 or #2 (sickness) should be appropriately neutralised. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, One observation in Singapore is that there are still many Geomancers; many only familiar with Eight House Theory and practising FS. Some of these practitioners started FS business as a novice, finding the simplicity of Eight House and have not upgraded themselves in their " FS careers ". Hopefully, they should compensate this with good Shapes and Form FS. The main worry about applying only Eight House or Flying Star is that these two theories should not be used in isolation. Many a times, one who only favours numerology i.e. Flying Star; may overlook the Shapes and Form. It is of no great value if it sounds nice on paper i.e. the stars looks great but everyting…

Dear All, Here are some questions which we can use as a guideline:- 1. How useful is Shapes and Form Feng Shui? We can make use of Shapes and Form Feng Shui to review our home with regards to the strengths and weakness / threats to our home. If we are choosing a new home, and take full advantage of Shapes and Form FS, we may get a Quantum Leap in Feng Shui LUCK. (This area is worth understanding). But do remember that it is easy to understand but difficult to apply in some instances. 2. Go on the Defensive... Even if a house is considered an EXCELLENT house (by virtue of its EXCELLENT Shapes and Form), this does not mean that such a house does not have a `defect'. The rul…

Dear Madi, In all periods, #2 (sickness) ; #3 (Bad wood); #5 (misfortune) can be considered bad. But some FS practitioners consider the period i.e. in Period 2 (which is along long way to go); #2 may not be all that bad. Or if we are in Period 5, #5 may not be all that bad. A good example is #7. In period 7, this current period ending in year 2003, #7 is OK because #7 is associated with the Period 7 number. But, #7 if interpreted under Period 8, may not be good. For those who have houses with Double #7 at the front door, need not worry, because, if there is no major renovation done in Period 8, your house will still continue to enjoy #7 or where this house is known as a P…

Dear Sarina, Since you are refering to the Eight Associate Directions (Wealth and Marriage Sector). This is considered a static Theory, just like some of the those based on bagua (NW=Metal etc). Usually, these are placed on the least priority to focus on when trying to create a Feng Shui friendly location. Simply because they are not personalised to anyone, so it is unlikely to be of great impact to anyone. Also, usually we are more focus to try to fix problems that exists such as Sha Qi or Poison Arrow created from sharp corners of objects in the house which cuts into a person working in that area. This means that you always try to fix problems which you can see and not …

Hi, Generally, for studies usually what affects you is the location of your study location in the house and also your own "likes" and "dislikes" for certain subject. 1. Often when most people have problems concentrating or doing work, it is usually because you stay in location or working in a direction which is unsuitable for you. This is usually the case. Example you are trying to study in a room which is your five ghost or irritation. Generally, you will not feel very comfortable there. Use the Eight House report to help you determine that. 2. If the Eight House shows a good room for you to study in, then the other reason is the room itself, it may contain bad stars w…

Dear Jack, The best way is to get the center of the house from the layout plan. This is because sometimes when you stand in the center of the house, you might miss the center or find it virtually impossible due to a wall or pillar which prevents you from being at the center of the house. Please see Cecil's Compass method to help you determine the main door direction accurately. URL: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/cecilcompass.htm Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee
