Dear Brad, 1. It is good to see if the amount of plants is proportionate to the size of the interior of the home. 2. Currently, there is no fixed ruleset to the amount of plants. 3. As to the placement of the plants, usually they are placed at either corners or close to the edge of walls where they do not `interfere' with pedestrian traffic or create /or likely to cause accidents especially in the dark of the night. 4. It is always good advise to check with family members or hear their comments on the placement (or non-placement) of the plants. Getting family members to `participate' and provide feedback is, in my opinion, a good idea. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Usually, the Gua number refers to the `Eight House' Gua (Kua). 2. You can generate a manual report at : http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm 3. The above links has write-up on how to use the Gua to your home. Such as finding the centrepoint etc... 4. You can also used the Free on-line report i.e. The Eight House Report at http://www.geomancy-online.com to generate this and many other reports. 5. My Applied Feng Shui book has at least two formulas for calculating the Gua number. The methods are equally applicable to greater than Year 2000. 6. Recently, I received a private e-mail from a user using Lillian Too's (one method) where one needs to input the `fou…

Dear Cheui May, Every period can have a Double e.g. 1s; 2s; 3s; 4s; 5s and the rest of the periods. This depends on one of the compass directions in 15 degree increments. These periods are considered good if they fall under the same period e.g. double 5s are considered good in Period 5. Perhaps, it is because you have not encountered a compass direction that has the right combinations of double 5s. Warmest Regards, Cecil On 11/26/00 11:35:00 PM, Cheui May Heui /wrote:

Dear Joy, In my opinion, `corner' theories or concepts are usually not used in more professional Traditional Feng Shui practises. Paying `homage' to a corner is not an ideal way to apply Feng Shui. Usually, this is too general to be of any use to anyone. I believe the proper way is to increase one's Luck by looking at Feng Shui from a holistic way i.e. priority goes to Shapes and Form and the use of Compass School methods. Look at it this way: How are we to know that the SW is always the `commitment' area of a location or house? Even if it is for some of us, it cannot be the commitment area for ALL of us. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Cheui May, In my opinion, as this is not a permanent water feature, this type of house can still be considered in your house hunting. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Shaqeel, If i am not mistaken what you trying to understand is about your house's Sitting and Facing position. Since you are born a kua no 9(Li)person, the most suitable house is Sitting East Facing West ,Sitting South East Facing North West ,Sitting North Facing South and Sitting South Facing North. (this could also be a reason why your West facing house is good for you) To get a more clearer feng shui analysis in your house, you will have to get a flying star chart for it. Just my opinion.

Dear Jonathan, 1. There are different levels of `participation' in the use of Feng Shui. 2. Generally, if it is based on intuition, if it is new house, what is you and your family's initial impression of the house. 3. It is always good to make a few copies of your layout plan and discuss with your family members the layout and type of interior decor used. 4. The inclined towards intuitive or by feel. 5. Next, for D.I.Y. plot a template of each family member's Gua number. And you can use the Eight House Theory. 6. If you are familiar with Shapes and Form Feng Shui do apply this to your home. 7. Check for any poison arrows (if any) aimed at the main entrance or any windows.…

If 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 are yang numbers, and 2, 4, 6, 8 are yin numbers, why 6 =is attributed to Qian (which is yang), 7 to Dui (which is yin), 8 to Gen =(which is yang), and 9 to Li (which is yin). It seems that number 5, =which do not belongs to any gua was interfered and disarranged the yin =yang sequence. Is there any explanation for that? Wansui!

Dear Joy, Method 1 ======== For 1967 (female):- [1.] 67 - 4 = 63 [2.] 63 / 9 = 7 remainder 0 [3.] Gua is the remainder 0 (which is treated as Gua 9) I believe you took the value 7 which is not the gua number. It should be the remainder 0. Since the gua is 0, it should be treated as Gua 9 instead. You can use the method 2 to in the Applied Feng Shui course to verify this. It also gives you 9 instead of 7. Method 2 ======== For 1967 (female): [1.] 6 + 7 = 13 = 1 + 3 = 4 [2.] 4 + 5 = 9 [3.] Gua is 9 You can use the Method 2 which is an easier method. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Freddy, For Nine Star Ki application, you can perhaps purchase books from Nine Star Ki authors. John Sandifier's book is `more technical' and relates to 9 Star Ki (calculation). You can perhaps purchase books by Simon Brown on Nine Star Ki applications. I believe his titles are like Feng Shui for the Home / Feng Shui for the Office. Do search eg. amazon.com for these authors. In general, although you are considered 6 White Metal Element, in my personal opinion, doing or just concentrating only on a specific sector such as the bedroom does not necessarily yield `positive' results. The Key Success Factor in the use of Feng Shui and other disciplines such as Pillars of …

Dear Anon, Yes, in Chinese belief, it is not auspicious to use a black lamp shade. As for a throw pillow, this can be quite subjective. If you have a picture of it, perhaps you can post it here. Overall, having black furniture is not necessarily considered bad. For example, many leather seats for the living room are black in colour. Equally, nowadays, many furniture e.g. TV set stands and TV sets are in black colour. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Overall, in Feng Shui, it is best that a mirror not be placed on a wall where this could be inauspicious sector as twice the bad luck would bounce back. 2. However, if you feel that it is OK, then you can try to place it above the fireplace. But the mirrow should not be larger than the diameter of the fireplace. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Toilet pipe

Dear Wasis, In such a situation, frankly, the essence here is that the bed should not be on the same wall and particularly, the `waste pipe' should not criss-cross or next to the bed. The only option is to leave a gap between the bed and this wall. This is perhaps the `lesser of the two evils'. Where it is not ideal for the bed to be away from the wall but this is much better considering the above. Warmest Regards, Cecil Regards, Wasis

Dear Wasis, 1. In Feng Shui, the Chinese Loupan can be used as a `ghost' detector. Especially if the middle compass `swings'. 2. Under the Flying Star analysis, by looking at the 9 grids where there are #mountain #water and base numbers with a high concentration of YIN elements, this is most likely a case where there can be a haunting at the sector. This is particularly so, at the sectors North East (Devil's gate) and South West (Devil's back door). The interpretation of the Flying Star numbers can sometimes contain e.g. rope, young lady and red. Here, the interpretation could be a possible suicide e.g. a Young lady dressed in red hung herself. 3. Other methods is based o…

Dear Wasis, 1. In general, Feng Shui analysis of a business or office building is similar to that used for audit of the home. 2. For example, the Flying Star analysis is used to analyse the birth chart of the office. 3. Shapes and Form Feng Shui is also used in an office environment. 4. One's Personal Gua or (Ba Zhi) is also used to match the person to their office. Warmest Regards, Cecil Regards, Wasis

Dear Judy, One good example is the double happiness chinese character which symbolises a `pair'. It is considered good for objects to be in pairs (a couple) in the bedroom. The belief is that it is not auspicious to have ferocious objects in the bedroom such as the tiger, lion and very yang objects such as the dragon. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Tian Wan, It would seem to me that you are refering either to the ba gua or the 24 ba zi feng shui theory. However, in either case, it would seem that only South is good for you. North cannot not be good for you as Water destroy fire. Since you are a weak fire, water is bad for you. (This is assuming that we only take your element as weak fire ignoring other details) (Unless of course it is based on another theory etc) The other good directions are like East (wood) which helps to produce fire. 1. Feng Shui of the house itself should be good especially in key areas such as Main Door sector and bedroom of the breadwinner 2. The Main Door should be such that ei…

Dear Valeria, 1. The key to understanding the Eight House Theory is that one must be physically present at that location or spent more time at these sectors. For example, if it happens that your bed is at the South (disaster) sector, here, you are spending time at this sector. 2. This theory does not mean that one need to place a `cure' at the South-East (death sector). If one does not spent some time there, this is fine. 3. Contrast this with the Flying Star analysis where each sector has three elements i.e. #mountain star #water star and base numbers which is represented by an element each. Here, if there is an imbalance caused at a specific sector, then a balance or c…

Hi Anon, I have just moved in to a house with the exact same combinations as yours. Main Door is East. I have put in the relevant cure for it. So although it is not so good, but it is neutralize. On another note, I am occupying the fading prosperity sector as my room. If you look hard enough, this is a good sector. You can activate the mountain star. With this combination, the occupier will derive great financial skill and leadership(esp good in military). I have yet to see this ;) but I hope it won't be long. So far, I have implemented the relevant cures throughout the house, activate the relevant mountain stars. The key here is to balance all the imbalance elements. O…

Dear Anon, 1. There are indeed many (many) methods of calculations under "Numerology" and variants to it. 2. Furthermore, numbers are quite subjective and there are many interpretations. 3. It is very difficult to be accurate with simple analysis like what you had mentioned. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Yvonne, 1. Contrary to popular belief, it does not necessarily follow that if the door faces south, it should be painted red. 2. Or if the door faces North (blue); East (Green or brown). 3. If one is not sure what colour to paint the door, neutral color e.g. natural wood grain color or white is the most acceptable color. 4. If Flying Star Feng Shui is considered as red represents the fire element, the sector at South is checked to see the interaction of the three #mountain + #water + base number to check that they are in balance. After the above evaluation, then one looks at whether painting the door pink or red (Fire element) is either beneifical; neutral or may d…

Dear Tian Wan, However, based on what you mentioned I am guessing you are referring to the Pillars of Destiny. It very much depends, as Pillars of Destiny does a more accurate assessment based on birth element thus in terms of birth element you should use the Pillars of Destiny. For the direction of suitablility. The Eight House is a better tool to determining this and can be use with a more enhanced version 24 directional ba zi feng shui to determine a more accurate good and bad suitablility. Each theory has good and bad point and meant for a specific usage. So you need to know when to use which one to get the best out of Feng Shui. Which theory are you refer…

Dear Chee Kiat, Please see below:- No, under Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui, unless one is going for `battle' or in an era, where, it is used for self defense, one should not place the steel sword. This is because, objects such as this if displayed is considered `sha qi' or bad qi. Warmest Regards, Cecil
