Dear Anon, 1. Can you elaborate whether the corner of (one or both) of the columns is/are "pointed" or aimed at the main entrance door. 2. Are the two columns equal width with the main entrance door. Hope you can clarify the above, first. Thanks. Cecil

Dear Brenda, Yes, a small decorative screen next to the toilet so long as it is sufficent to block the view of the toilet and not the whole bathroom would suffice i.e. OK. For a mirror facing the front door normally this would not be advisable as it would reflect Qi or disperse Qi and may not be that advisable. It also depends on other factors i.e. distance to the door etc... If a mirror has to be used, a sloping mirror (similiar to those found at some shop shops for customers to view a pair of shoes) i.e. sloping would be an alternative where it is not perpenticular to the door. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Julie, Thank you for your description. In my opinion, it looks like your main door is not under any `threat'. A `threat' is where one of the pillars seems to slice thru the main door i.e. if one stands at the main entrance looking out; one of the pillars should not be slicing into the main door area. Overall, in my opinion also, the square pillars are of minimal or negligble `threat'. This is unlike the `mass' of a large building's edge. In my opinion, it is perfectly acceptable in your situation (unless one of the pillars slice thru the main entrance door area). If this is the case, a 6 rod metal wind chime can be used above the main door. Or the placement of two …

Dear Caroline, Further to what I had mentioned:- Make sure that the corner of the pond is not aimed at "vital areas" e.g. main door entrance. In fact, in general Feng Shui, many practitioners would recommend the placement of the water feature on the (left) side of the garden. Since the right side is said to bring with it extra-marital affairs. (Where one stands inside the house looking outwards). Contrary to popular belief, it should not be placed directly in-front of the main entrance. Or blocking it. Again IN GENERAL, many FS practitioners would favour the placement of a water position (in harmony with the compass direction.) Thus, many FS practitioners favour the p…

Thank you Master Lee for your reply. The underground graves in the U.S. are built with 2 concrete vaults, one on top of the other. They are usually sold for husband and wife use. The casket or coffin of the spouse who dies first is placed in the lower concrete vault and closed bycovering the topwith a horizontal concrete slab. The casket or coffin of the spouse who dies next is placed on top of the concrete slab that covered the lower concrete vault. This top vault is closed by covering it with a concrete slab. The hole on the ground is then covered with soil and grass is then planted on the surface. In efffect, the 2 caskets or coffins are positioned on 2 levels, the …

Dear Jen, For a staircase, the major considerations are: 1. Number of steps 2. Avoid having the steps face the main door. (Here, a partition or screen should be used). 3. A set of staircase, should where possible have a landing or two landings if the upstairs is high. 4. Preferably avoid a circular staircase, especially if it can be seen from the main door. 5. Where possible, each step should be `covered' up and not `see thru' i.e. planks placed on each step. 6. For the position of the stairs, where possible it should preferably hug or share an external wall. 7. Anything else, will have to be looked at on a case-by-case basis. And therefore `it depends' on the full layout…

1. You can use the Search feature on the TOP-left frame of this forum and simply type things like " auspicious number of steps" 2. And you should easily find resources within this forum. There are many links, such as this one, below:- The secrets of Authentic `steps counting - Feng Shui at Geomancy.Net 11 Dec 2002 ... Following this method, one should be able to work out the number of steps:- 3.2 Auspicious steps are:- 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19,... forum.geomancy.net/resources/forum-archive/12354.htm

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: If theside ofthe office desk is facing half of the staircase. Is this bad for the person sitting there ? Anonymous wrote: The office desk have a partition that face the staircase. If the partition isn't there, then it is very bad. But with the partition, it helps to block the sha qi from the stairs, so it is not as bad. Like what we have been saying, whatever that you cannot see, no longer becomes a problem. So luckily, there is a partition that helps to block some of the Sha Qi to your sitting position. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

I also have stairs facing the front door and have tried a remedy. I put an end table at the bottom of the stairs,against the wall.It has a colorful arrangement of silk flowers on it. Opposite this wall is a face level mirror which holds a smaller arrangement of flowers. I think it is working because people who come in have not even noticed the stairs when I've mentioned them shortly thereafter. Does this sound sufficient, Cecil? Thx.

Dear Respected Sirs, I am finalising the design for a new house, and I am having difficulty interesting the architectin Feng Shui considerations. Attached are two images, the first of the original house design, the second with an alteration to the staircase, amongst other things. The architect said he had been told that a staircase could face the front door directly (which I realise is a very undesirable option) as long as a large statue or water fountain was placed between them. He later agreed to modify the design, and produced a curving staircase as shown in the second attached image. My two questions are: 1. Does the curving staircase solve the problem - ie, i…

Hi, Please read below:- Normally the best way is to put a partition, if not, I think you should just leave it. Although there are books that say that either putting a bagua should help to reflect it, I feel that a partition is better otherwise you are better off leaving it alone. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Anon, Please see below:- To clarify, I hope I get you correctly. Do you mean to say that there is a window at the 2nd storey landing? Often, this is acceptable (in terms of bringing in or filtering) in light into the area. Usually, if there is a window, often, up to waist height should be fixed / permanent and either a casement or swing up window is acceptable. If the window is not fixed below; it may be a safety issue for young children. Personally, I do not see this as an issue; if what you mentioned seems that way. If the mirror is quite a distance away; often this is not an issue. By any chance do you have pointed gate or any objects pointed towards the …

1. In my opinion, technically, all the arguments are logical. 2. Majority of the time, below the staircase (or same spot) as the staircase, many contruct a store room. And this can help to "lock up the bad stars". In addition, it is always better not to have a bedroom or living area with really bad stars vs that of the staircase. 3. It is known fact that if possible, the stairs are covered (top and side). 4. As for wooden staircase, concrete, metal, all these can be based on the Five elements concept - if it does not have an impact of the building code, no issue. 5. Many homes with flaws such as corkscrew staircases etc.. may not necessarily give it a disadvantage. Fo…

I have read that having a staircase in front of the main entry is not good. Does this mean the steps should not face the main door and/or the staircase should not be positioned directly in front of the main door. We are considering a home with the entry opening into a spacious foyer. However, the the curving staircase is positioned in front of the main entry with the steps facing slightly offset and away from the main entry. The main entry points towards the the steps. The face of the steps is approximately a 45 degrees offset to main entry and point towards a wall next to the main entry. How would this layout be interpreted. Thank you.

Frankly, in my opinion, having done many (many, many) audits over the years; homes that range from "Quantum Leap" in Feng Shui to even "average" Feng Shui homes can sustain "such so called inauspicious" circumstances. Thus, honesty, the saying goes: "It depends!" No two homes are the same. Some homes (landed properties)may have the same layout, size and design but they are never on the same foundation of a plot of land. Therefore, we should be looking at each INDIVIDUAL case, for fair comment on each of them. For example, in some past forum messages, even under the Flying Star Feng Shui, if there is a cluster of "Yin" Flying Star numbers in a sector, and if this bedr…

Dear Lalita, 1. Never hang a convex mirror and/or a hexagram Ba-gua inside the home. It is considered very inauspicious. 2. Since you have not or may not intend to do a Feng Shui audit, it is still best to leave the current situation alone. In my opinion, as far as I can understand, so long as the staircase has a turning and not a straight staircase, this is considered acceptable -- not perfect, thou. Quote: Lalita L. wrote: I just bought a house. The staircase is in the middle of the house and unfortunately runs into the master bedroom. Is this considered two major leaks? I'm planning to add light on top the staircase and hang a convex mirror and a hexagram Ba-gua on…

1. This has more to do with Commonsense or Commonsense approach to Feng Shui: 1.1. For example, in the even that the stove area catches fire; both smoke and fire may overwhemn the staircase area. 1.2. Alternatively, if for some reasons; the fire at the stove was extinguished but if the stove is a gas stove; the gas may flow around the staircase / and nearby area - both dangerous and may be fatal to breathe-in.

1. Thanks for the sketch. 2. If it is still a set of staircase for any block of flats; it is suppose to be a fire escape stairway (area). 3. If so, under Singapore (and most other countries) fire safety code; the staircase door should be closed. 4. Thus, since there is all the more reason for this door to be closed; it should be fine. In this case, you don't need to place those item that you are not in favour of at your main door area.
