Dear Denise, This url shows how two flutes are `tradtionally' hung to neutralise a beam:- http://www.geomancy.net/mypictures/cgi-bin/imagesearch.cgi?img=0&search=flute&cat=all&x=9&y=7 In your case, for a long hall, usually, potted plants along sections of the hall are used instead to `break' the `long' hall rather than the use of flutes. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Denise, Here’s a refined version of your text: A fish tank is best placed in a "water" star position, as recommended by the Flying Star Theory. Even without a detailed Feng Shui assessment, the living room is generally a suitable location, especially where there is ample open space—this aligns well with water star principles. Ideally, position the fish tank against a wall in the living room and keep the surrounding area furnished with low furniture to maintain harmony. If the toilet already occupies a water star position, keeping the fish tank there can be acceptable, provided it is of reasonable size and fits comfortably. The key is that both you and …

Dear Susan, Yes, I do agree with your comments. It has nothing do with Traditional Feng Shui. As this is not based on Traditional Feng Shui practises. Some traditional Feng Shui Practitioners (with a religious flair) would instead `protect' the main entrance e.g. with charms or the traditional Ba Gua mirror. This is the first time, I have heard of such a `practise' also. Perhaps, new wave " FS ". Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1.Overall, one has to check to see where is the `frontage' of the house. In most homes it is usually where the `living' room faces a direction. As it is difficult to say that one model fits all, if say the `frontage' of your house is facing the direction i.e. at the `back patio room' then a water position may still be acceptable. 2. In Traditional Feng Shui, we usually look at two other factors: 2.1 The breadwinners true element and strength. For example, if one is a weak fire and strong water person, it is best to avoid having a water position in the home. For a weak fire person, the addition of a water element may `extinguish' one's `fire'. While too much wat…

Dear Lyn, Under Shapes and Form Feng Shui, your house should not `sit' lower than the frontage i.e. front yard. Is it possible to reverse this? Having the house lower than the frontage can have a negative effect on the homeowners. The house is equally `entrapped'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Cheui May, 1. Since you are aware of your element and strength, using it is more accurate means of looking at the compatiblitiy of the home and the individual sectors of your home. 2. The reason is because, when one looks at the Eight House Theory, we generally use only the YEAR of birth to derive our personal GUA (KUA) number. However, under Pillars of Destiny, we use the YEAR; MONTH; DAY and (if the TIME of birth is available) use all 4 Pillars = Eight Elements (Stem and branches) to deduce our true element and strength. 3. Since the common denominator is the Five Elements, we know that each element or each sector represents an element e.g. North = Water element; S…

Dear Dovie, One way of looking at things is: " I see, I like, I buy". If you find the tabletop water-point, nice, you can go ahead and purchase it. The above is based on `feelings' and intuition as opposed to the more complex analysis that one may do based on Traditional FS such as Flying Star (to check that a water position at a specific sector is acceptable or one's element and strength is suited to the above.) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Timothy, 1. The `concept' of having a bed facing one of a person's worst direction is considered of `secondary' importance or ranking. 2. What is more important are: 2.1 Proper position of the bed in terms of Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui. For example, when you open the bedroom door, where possible, the bed should be on the opposite wall. It is equally important to see if the bed does not share the same wall as a toilet. If it is facing a toilet e.g. the door of the toilet `looks' at the "head board" or the head part of the bed, a remedy is to place a side table and place a lamp on top of it. This side table with a lamp on is symbolic of a `partition' between t…

Dear Oleta, 1. Frankly, and in my opinion, there are no hard or fast `rules' with regards to the color in a child's room. 2. But rather, it depends. Here, it depends on the location of the bedroom. For example, if the bedroom is facing a west location e.g. windows with direct sunlight that comes into the room. Then use cooler colours or a neutral colour such as white. Here, pink etc.. is not quite appropriate. 3. Some Feng Shui practitioners believe that the bedroom should (I use the word can) be painted to suit the child's Ba Zhi or element. This is quite a common advise provided by many FS practitioners. However, as I always believe, it depends on the level of particip…

Dear Mariel, Yes, it would be best to try to revert to what it was like previously prior to the advise provided by the geomancer, first and monitor the situation. I am not sure what discipline the geomancer has but if his thoughts are merely based on his `intution' alone without reference to e.g. Compass School techniques or if it more from the angle of `sales' e.g. sale of windchimes etc.. where you need to place one or several such `objects', then it would not be appropriate. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Elena, In my opinion, painting the trim black does not invoke water. In addition I believe, that symbollically, it does not `touch' the roofs (where water may weigh down on the house). Furthermore, if one applies the 33.3% ruleset, it does not `occupy' such a large area. Nevertheless, yours is an interesting question. If it is not `broken' avoid `fixing' it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jo Yong, In my opinion, one should take into consideration the `private' door into each apartments i.e. door (B) for Feng Shui analysis. If you have a sketch of the outline of the houses and its relation to the door (A) and (B), it would help to confirm the above. Regards, Cecil

Dear Judy, Please see below:- 1. Yes, you have brought up a very interesting question. 2. First of all, Chinese do place importance in phonetic sounds. For example, several years back when China opened up its economy, I believe, there was this Coca Cola advertisement where the interpretation of the words `Coca Cola' was interepreted to mean an inauspicious name. 3. Subsequently, Coca Cola, revised this ad. 4. Chinese language is quite `complex' and a pronunciation can provide as much as say 4 different meanings to a character alone. 5. For the Chinese, usually, there is no issue once an auspicious sounding name has been chosen. 6. In the past where there was no stand…

Dear Sky, 1. Currently, you are using just the Eight House Theory. The main importance of this theory looks at how suitable the house is especially to the breadwinner. 2. You can also check what is the intangible force for each of you in the bedroom. Where possible, this should be one of the good intangible force (if possible). Other than these two points, you can look at the house from other angles. 3. Since, you are referencing the house using the Eight House Theory, and if you do not want to apply the other compass theory such as Flying Star, you may have rely on your instincts. As you mentioned, since both of you feel positive about the house, this is a good sign. 4. …

Dear Jack, Alterating the door would in my opinion, alter the birth chart of the house under the Flying Star Theory. It is always prudent to check what is `in store' of the house with the new birth chart - the new birth chart is based on Flying Star Theory / numerology. Thus, one should look at the new Flying Star Chart based on the `new' entrance direction of 150 degrees. Is this new chart better than the existing chart based on the present main door entrance? If so, it may be better since it is away from poison arrows aimed at the present main entrance'. Please note that pictures of semi-circular steps are meant to neutralise `Sha Qi' such as poision arrows facing the …

Dear Shona, 1. It is good to check up (if you can - some history of the house). For example, try to enquire who previously lived in this house etc... In effect, try to find out more... 2. Depending on your level of participation or non-participation on the application of Feng Shui, you can:- 2.1 Apply Shapes and Form Feng Shui Techniques to do an environmental scanning of the site. And application of Shapes and Form to your home. When you mentioned that there are "lots of" poison arrows: 2.2 You should stand at the front entrance and at each window and look out of the house. Here, a poison arrow only becomes a threat when it is `aimed' thru the main entrance or the windo…

Dear Jack, In my opinion, it is advisable to check the `new' birth chart of a house to find out if it is better or ... worse off in changing the `direction' of the door. Usually, the birth chart based on Flying Star of the existing door direction is looked at (compared to) in relation with the new door direction. Here, one looks at all sectors and check the significance of each sector by looking at: 1. The 81 combinations i.e. comparing the Mountain # with the Water # and the resulting interpretation. 2. The `cures' required. If the original chart needs few `cures' at various sectors. But the new birth chart has lots of `cures'. In such a situation, the former chart is `…

Dear Sarah, 1. In Traditional Feng Shui, wind chimes need not necessarily meant to be hang in the north/north west part of the house. It depends. It depends on the individual FS audit done for the home. Usually, this is referenced to the Flying Star chart. 2. If we do not consider Para 1, or use intuition, or simply liked a wind chime and placed it at a location that we personally find suitable, it should be `non-intrusive' or should `fit' the location. A `commonsense' approach is that since the wind chime constantly touches your door, it should normally not touch the door. As this is also considered a `decorative' piece, it should blend with or harmonise with the locati…
