Dear Nghe Kwang, You may like to consider applying flying star feng shui to check on these two locations. As mentioned, in previous messages, your "Cai Wei" or wealth position can either be the activation of either a mountain or water star in particularly for period 8 star 8. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi Master Lee, Ever since we moved into this house 3 years back, troubles never stopped haunting us, esp in the financial sector. This has indirectly affected our other aspects of life too. Given a small house with limited floor space and all furniture being built-in, what else can we do to the house to improve the situation? Thank you. Rgds.

Dear Elena, The two small windows above the bed should not be an issue as it allows ventilation or proper circulation in the rooms. The main `impact' is when it is the actual windows and where possible here, do not have the headrest lean against the window. This factor is morre important consideration. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. For those who stay in a landed property, a Ming Tang or semi-circular water position at the frontage radiating outwards would be a good cure against such twin `joss-sticks'. Here, the `water' symbolically put's out the "fire" or "smoke" of the `joss-sticks'. 2. As you live in an apartment, it would seem not appropriate (or impractical) to place a water position at the balcony. 3. If you are living especially in the Far East, one may use the Ba Gua mirror placed above the balcony (mid-point). 4. Alternative cures include:- 4.1. Placing two forks (as in forks and spoon) where each fork is placed on each side of the balcony pointing towards each `joss-stick'. B…

Dear Keo Keo, There are two `levels' of analysis when using Chinese `tools':- 1. The most common is where we browse through any Chinese Astrology books, one will find that each of us as you mentioned were born in a particular year such as the year of the snake. And this zodiac sign is looked at in terms of compatiblity with loved ones. In fact, most Chinese Zodiac books will be similiar to the evaluation for eg. in the web such as www.lovesigns.net. 2. Overall, under Para 1, we are looking generally at a person's trait based on his year of birth only. 3. In more advanced Chinese Astrology or using a similar method such as Pillars of Destiny; the Year, Month, Day, Hour an…

This is a Snake Year and I am getting hammered financially. I am just wondering if I will be able to survive. Recently I just got a major source of money cut off by my boyfriend's son who was born in a Snake Year. It was dropped because my boyfriend who was born in a Tiger Year didn't think the son would do it. How bad is this Snake Year supposed to be for a Fire Boar (born 02/28/1947)?

1. Snakes is prominent as one of the 12 creatures of the Chinese Zodiac sign. 2. Chinese myths both deplict it as both good and bad. 3. For many us, we sprinkle sulfur powder to deter snakes. Since your apartment is in the basement; it is a tendency of snakes to like cooler areas. 4. Perhaps, do get pest control people to help you deal with it.

Dear Sean, Frankly, so far, I have not read or known of any relationship between Feng Shui and `manipulation' of weather. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear K Chin, K Chin wrote: Since the shape of objects affect the luck, health and wealth of a person or apartment, do the shape and the color of a sofa have any effect on luck orhealth ? In general, you have to always rank what is important. ie. If in a room, then the colour of the room and the key furniture colours will affect the overall feng shui of the room. The other smaller objects will play only a smaller role. Therefore, generally the colour of the sofa will play the greatest influence for the element of the sofa, followed by the material and the shape of the sofa.

Dear Mina, 1. All major Chinese concepts uses the Chinese Lunar Calendar system. This is where, when we look at even Chinese astrology, it is based on Chinese Lunar new year. And the Chinese Lunar calendar use is wide-spread. Thus, when we need to determine a birth-date. This year, Chinese New Year starts on 12th February 2002. Thus, when we need to check the birth-date, any child born between 1st January 2002 to 11th January 2002 is considered born under the Year 2001 for purposes of Gua calculation. This site and many other book authors; therefore use the Lunar Calendar system. As far as I know; solar (Xia or Hsia) is used only in Pillars of Destiny as mentioned in deta…

Dear Robert, thanks for your advice. Understand that it is best that the bed should face the bedroom door so that we can see whoever comes into the room. Can we place the bed such that is back is on the wall of the bedroom door? Why is this bad and what bad luck will it bring to the owner? Thanks.

place water to cure 7 and 4 combination, avoid red colours at northwest, and red colour should be used where all three stars are benevolet in the sector.

Dear Denise, 1. The main `concern' in Feng Shui is that it is inauspicious to let the toilet bowl face a location e.g. it can be the dining room table etc... 2. Thus based on the concept " If one cannot see the poison arrow or in this case Sha Qi, it no longer becomes a threat. 3. Therefore, normally closing the toilet door would do. You can consider, the rest of the things you mentioned as `luxuries' i.e. not compulsory to do such as keeping the lid down. 4. In my opinion, it is not adviseable to place a full length mirror unless one looks closely at that specific sector. As a mirror is considered able to reflect or `double' the bad luck if that sector is not auspicious.…

Hi Master Cecil, I have just bought a usedapartment on 10th floor of a 11 floor building. The apartment is not fully concealed type, meaning there isn't any dedicated main door for all theunits (open ventilation style). The apartment was also built in past periods. Situation: I realised the laundry room (which is next to the kitchen) of my unitdoes not have a window (only a metal grill), making the laundry room exposed to the air well all the time. There is a doorfor the laundry room whichseparates the kitchen (internal of my unit). Question: Does this affect the flying star of the unit?Is the unitconsidered to be the past period (when it was built) or Period 8 ? I …

Dear Anon, 1. Perhaps, we can look at it from a different perspective: 2. Could one night light imply "ONE NIGHT STAND?" Or worse if there are two night stands? Does it mean that one of the spouse has "TWO NIGHT STANDS?". *JOKE* 3. Frankly, these are pretty minor in Feng Shui. But on an asthetic side, often, a queen bed seem to look `more balanced' or uniform with two lamps on each side. Then again, it is not very critical in Feng Shui. 4. Here, we can look at it also from "commonsense" approach i.e. it would be more convenient at night for each partner to turn on and off the light when they go to e.g. the bathroom or outside the hall. Otherwise, the next time, …

Dear Peck Wun Please see below:- Last month, while doing a house audit, I noticed that my client also stayed at a long corridor. In addition to this, my client's house is also at a long corridor. Please refer to the attached illustration file. In this file you can notice that from inside the house, one can see a neighbour's directional sign (with an arrowhead) slicing thru the main door. This is indeed a threat to my client's house. With such a threat, one has no choice but to use a Ba Gua mirror to neutralise such a threat. Unless, one can speak nicely to the neighbour and hopefully, they take down this threat. Else, one needs to neutralise it. In public housing, …

Hi Master Cecil, Thanks a lot for replying my previous questions (2). I'm sorry for taking so long to reply.I have some question regarding the present house they are staying. I have done some basic study on fengshui. As follows: 1) My parents are Kua No 4. My sisteris Kua No 6 (staying with them). My brother is Kua No 2 (Not yet staying with them due to the house that can't be sold) 2) Their Living and Dining and Kitchen are in L shape 'cos the walldividing theLiving and Dining is taken down 20 years ago when they buy it. The Kitchen and Dining area is designed in shorter L shape as built. I feel the flow of 'qi' is too abrupt. Especially one end of the Living has Glas…

Dear Anon, Where possible, a house should not have missing corners. But there are exceptions like the shape of the top two units of the condominum. Here, the shape of two palms in gentle embrace or `receiving' position outweights any `missing' corner. If one looks carefully, the house is triangular in shape. This is not ideal but symbolism of the house and also that it has a Double 7 at the main entrance, plus the centrepoint is `clear' space works for it. Therefore, I am trying to show `exceptional' units that need not conform to the present mind set of houses that must not have missing corners. In this case, if one looks carefully at the master bedroom it is infact a pr…

Dear Anon, Please see below:- I believe the picture is the artistist impression of what the site looks like. It is always good to have trees as it will encourage birds also. I believe so. 1. Here, the overriding factor is the frontage of the unit circled under Picture 1. If one notices carefully, the top two units are in the shape of two hands in a `receiving' position. (Try to look closely and one can see that there is a `U' shape. In fact both units have Double 7. 2. Next, the main door is facing the water position for the circled unit. 3. It is on a gradient hill. The bedroom of the circled unit is sitting on tip of the entire house. This is symbolic of t…

Dear Anon, 1. Firstly, house numbers are considered secondary to Feng Shui. There are two "camps" with regards to this thinking. Like you mentioned some FS practioners would encourage the numbering to be rising at 45 degrees to denote or symbollically represent `progress' or as you mentioned: vertical such as 8 8 8 Others, would consider numbers secondary and not as important ie. the numbers can be at the same level. 2. In my opinion, I do believe that numbers are of secondary importance but it is really no harm raising the numbers 45 degrees or at a vertical position. (Unless this is specifically not permitted in a specific country). Again, symbolism plays an important r…

Recently my neighbour who is renovating thir house asked my family to help them keep 3 items. A mask, A Violin bow and a purse. The rest of the stuff they actually shifted to another place for storage. I find this very funny.... And would like to know if these items mean anything. The Mask is a Wall mounted type that is black and white and looks quite horrible... The Violin Bow is with out the Violin and we rejected keeping the purse. Anyone have any advice about this?

Dear Hong, Since you have accepted to keep the mask and violin bow, it is best to e.g. wrap them up (if not done so already) in newspaper and keep it in a store room - not display it. It is good that you have rejected the purse. Do check when their renovations are over and more importantly, when are they collecting it back. Avoid displaying these two items in your home or visible in the living room. Usually, if one has a Chinese Loupan, any objects that harbour any "illl effects" can make the Loupan compass needle sway in different directions. Warmest Regards, Cecil
