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

Dear Anon, Under Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui, many FS practitioners are particular about pointed objects in the couple's bedroom. If this bedroom belongs to a couple, it is advisable not to have a `pointed' headboard. This is similiar to NOT having a pointed or ^ shape above the door. A ^ shape e.g. especially above the door e.g. a triangular design above the bedroom door would lead to `divorce'. As you have not mentioned in detail the shape of the headboard - is it a triangle shaped ^ headboard? If it is, the shape is not ideal. For the moment, I can think of e.g. a cap to place on top of the pointed object. I know it may sound funny to some but the main object h…

Dear Judy, Please see below:- In general:- 1. Auspicious symbols e.g. each of the mandarin characters Fu Lu Shou can be carved a string of auspicious character as borders e.g. say outside the building or on a piece of furniture. I personally have a table lamp that has carved piece of "Fu" character table lamp. Here, these are auspicious symbols, that are part of the furniture or fittings. 2. The `taboo' or `superstition' is that if it is a figurine of one of the deities etc... it should be `treated with dignity and respect'. Thus, for objects that are `alive' or figurines, try to avoid placing them at locations I had mentioned earlier such as next to a toilet wall. …

Dear Cynthia, In Feng Shui:- 1. Flying Star analysis Usually, if one falls sick often in a new house, assessment using Flying Star to check especially the sickness/misfortune sectors can help in this area. 2. Shapes and Form Check especially if there any poison arrows aimed at the bed? or through the bedroom window. Is the bed placed on the same wall as the toilet? 3. If you live in a landed property, is there any underground water running under the house close to the bedroom? http://www.geomancy.net/fs/under.htm (Under para 3, this is usually due to prolonged stay in such a house. The above are the three key tools used for checking on sickness. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Tian Wan, Generally, when you refer to good oa bad direction for a house it depends on several things. 1. If you refer to a good and bad house based on a Flying Star for example. Then yes, a house can be good and bad depending on the location. However, this by itself does not mean that a bad house is bad for everyone. 2. It also depends very much on the suitability of the house to the owner. I this means that a house which is suitable to the owner can overrule some of the bad influence the house has, as it is generally favourable to a person. So it depends on how you look at it. Generallly, however, most problems can be solved especially for influences based on F…

Please clarify the term you mean "face inwards". Do you mean the facing direction of your entry to the house? Thanks for advice.

Dear Kaushal, Since you are a weak fire person, the best element here is wood element i.e. green or brown. The next best colour is fire i.e. pink, purple or red. The controlling element for fire are: 1. Metal to control the wood which is your production element. 2. Water to destroy fire. (avoid using this combination unless the card turns out to be all RED.) Here, for example, the `trick' is to use black font (black represents water element). However, since the card is small, you can chose colors based on the above. Do remember that the Five Elements concept is about seeking a balance also. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Cheui May, Yes, I believe correspondence thru email is quite different from being actually there. In my opinion, feelings is can sometimes be subjective and a certain percentage of a person's `experiences' or `visualisation'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Chee Kiat, 1. No, you do not need to turn on the table lamp light. 2. This area has to do with `Shapes and Form Feng Shui' rather than saying that the table is wood and lamp is fire. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Marie, If you mean that it is displayed facing `looking' inwards of the house. It is best to avoid, having a dragon figurine facing inwards towards the interior of the house. Where possible, it should face outwards or to an opening i.e. an open window. This is applicable especially to a `five claw' dragon. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Evamarie, 1. Usually, there is not much cure (if any) for such a ceiling. 2. If the ceiling is not sloping but curved or semi-circular (rounded), this is still acceptable). 3. For the bed, a poster bed where one hangs e.g. a `canopy' or lace or cloth above it is one method of neutralising it. Otherwise, there is really not much can be done. The higher the ceiling, the better it is. Or the effects are considered lesser. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Elena, I will get back on this in more detail. Presently, avoid a fence that looks like the attached. As you correctly mentioned, good fence is nice to have. Fences that e.g. use wrought iron i.e. squarish or roundish bars are good. They are equally good e.g. if an arrow head design is pointed upwards. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wasis, If the tree is still alive: 1. Check for any evidence of `roting' or decay. If e.g a branch had decayed and part of the branch breaks leaving part of the broken branch hanging like a `poison' arrow; make sure that this `arm' or branch gets "amputated" as soon as possible. *JOKE* Seriously, if one stands at the main entrance and facing out of the house, if the broken branch `act's like a knife cutting thru the house, then, cut off this branch as close as possible to the tree trunk. 2. On a regular basis, if the roots are visible, check if it is hollow / if possible the tree truck also with some solid object. If it sounds `empty', decay could have set in. I do n…

Dear Sal, 1. Size of fountains are important. Equally important is the sound of vibrant water flow. If the fountain is just a `tiny' fountain of no less than 3 feet or 1 metre in length, it should be considered more a decorative piece where one would have to fork out money like any other decoration. When we talk about fountains or waterfalls (real or artificial) they should equally be vibrant i.e. sound of water and not just water flowing gently. Here, one should consider such fountains as mere decorative piece of `art'. For dragon figurines if it is on a fountain, it is best to let if face outwards of the home. Dragons should not face into the house. Dragon `qi' usuall…

Dear Vadym, 1. The more accurate analysis is the use of Pillars of Destiny as it analyses your Year, Month, Day and Time of birth. In the more advanced analysis, Year, Month, Day, Time, House of Conception and House of Birth are taken into consideration. 2. Thus, if the proper analysis was done and as you are deduced to be a `strong metal', you can use more advanced methods such as looking at each direction based on the element. 3. For example, North is Water. South is Fire element. Thus for this two sectors: 4. Since water exhausts your STRONG metal thus create a balance. This sector is considered good for you. 5. Fire is also good sector as fire destroys strong metal t…

Dear Khairul, 1. In my opinion, there are many books available on Shapes and Form Feng Shui. 2. In architecture or interior design, Shapes and Form is the most applicable. 3. Other than the above, `space clearing' is a common topic. 4. Under this website, you can find many free resources: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/map.htm Particuarly, main topics like: The Landscape, The Site and The Home. 5. Alternatively, you can get like one user mentioned: Basic Feng Shui by Lillian Too. Many of her other books are either repetition or have in my opinion, many contradictions. Alternatively, get books that have a good mix of pictures/illustration and wordings (explanations). Warmest R…

Dear Elena, 1. In my opinion, textured walls are acceptable. 2. Over here, for the last 5 to 10 years, it also is very popular. It is also very good at detering lizards from climbing on them. 3. In the past, many buildings use rough surfaces (not noecessary sand blasting or textured walls). 4. Thus in my opinon, the textured surfaces is not a concern. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kaushal, 1. Generally, if one finds pictures pleasing to the eye, there is really no hard or fast rule in the placement. 2. The pictures that one should avoid are those that symbolically represent fierce animals, hanging of swords of such sort. Otherwise, hang pictures at locations which you or your family member `likes'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sherri, 1. The most effective method is to use a screen (where possible). Otherwise, an `average' alternative is to use plants on both sides of the stairs. Or hang a beaded screen above the ceiling down (the effect is to screen the stairs from the main entrance 2. For the toilet above, close the door when not in use. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi lisa, In feng shui, there are a lot of thing that have to be put into consideration. As you and your husbands GUA is Chen(3), a House Sitting East Facing West should be Ok for both of you. Its only inauspicious when you are a east group person with a maindoor located in the west sector. As far as i know if your house is Sitting/Facing your inauspicious direction, there is nothin you can do about it. This is consider a Later Heaven problem. The above are my personal opinion. Steven

Dear Kaushal, Actually, it is known as " Five Ghosts " or " Spook " under the Eight House Template in this website. Well it is a term used in Chinese to refer to " Wu Gui " which literally means Five Ghosts. It is just a term to specify the sector and that this is not an auspicious sector. Warmest Regards, Cecil
