Dear Zarah, Please see below:- Here, especially for anyone who wants to determine whether: 1. Is this a missing corner? 2. Can this be a protrusion instead of a missing corner? Under Para 1, for ease of identification, we consider a sector (we divide the house equally into 9 sectors). If the area of the sector is greater than 33.3% of the size of that sector, this is usually considered as a missing corner. If it is a `slight' recess, perhaps, you may want to check to see if this is truly a missing corner i.e. 33.3percent of the area is missing. A small mirror, does not `effectively' provide the "depth" require to cure a missing corner > 33.3 percent. It only ac…

Dear Cheui May, 1. In Feng Shui, it is also important to maximize one's LUCK using the three most important theories:- 1.1 Shapes and Form Here, location, location and location is important. 1.2 Eight House HOW SUITABLE is the house to the person? And at locations where one spents most time at should preferably be an auspicious sector. 1.3 Flying Star and Pillars of Destiny Here, Flying Star looks the birth chart of the house is looked at. While we extract, one's element and strength from Pillars of Destiny. Look at our luck periods and its relationship with the five elements. If you can see clearly, each principle above (1.1; 1.2 and 1.3) are specific tools used to analy…

Dear Andreea, 1. In my opinion, Chinese Astrology like its cousin ( Western Zodiac signs ) provides a description of the `traits' of a person belonging to a `sign'. 2. I feel that these signs or readings if one consciously or unconsciously read about what it is like for a person, sometimes, we may tend to `believe' that our `traits' or characterstics are like that described. This may lead to `auto suggestion' and some of us may `follow' such characteristics. 3. For example, if we read that a `Rat person' is:- The Rat person is charming and ambitious. They are always busy and seldom able to relax fully. If not, they get bored easily or get bad tempered. They enjoy going t…

Dear Niteka, Yes, I also believe that as far as possible, the centrepoint of the home should have clear space. Particularly the movement of the elevator creates Sha Qi at the centrepoint of the home which is not ideal. (The near equavalent is the toilet at the centrepoint). The staircase is a secondary (problem) as when compared to the elevator. Frankly, we normally wish or hope that there can be an effective `cure' but this is best avoided (if one can). As this is Sha Qi with regards to Shape and Form. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Lisa, In my opinion, if one already does not have a water position at the back of the house, it is best not to have one. In general, under Feng Shui (Shapes and Form), it is not advantages to have water positions behind the house. This follows the concept that the back of the house should have a solid-backing. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, This can be a controversial subject. So should I take the GMT timezone into account? Our answer is no. You should not take the GMT timezone (+0800) etc to adjust your date of birth. This is because due to the many simplification in the GMT timezone, it only takes into account a shift in one of the location factor in the world. The more accurate way is to take the timezone in accordance with the moon location. However, for most cases, it is different to provide the actual location where you are born. Thus, if you provide an inaccurate locationfactor, you risk the chance of making the report LESS accurate than NOT adjusting anything at all. As mentioned, the ini…

Dear Niteka, Currently, to the best of my knowledge, the two main holistic method of Feng Shui are: 1. Traditional School of Feng Shui originated from China. Here, the Shapes and Form and Compass Schools: Eight House and Flying Star. 2. Nine Star Ki. Which is a variant of the Compass School of Feng Shui more popularly adopted in Japan and applied by UK practitioners such as Jon Sandifier. 3. Although Nine Star Ki is one and the same as e.g. Flying Star, it is on its own a holistic approach. Where it can be used to analyse person to a home. 4. However, because Nine Star Ki uses its own methodogy and `packaged' method of finding out things, it is difficult to mix and match …

Dear Doreen, 1. Based on the Eight House Theory, this implies that the house is not the best suited for you and your husband. 2. Usually, this is not the "end of the world". 3. You should also consider the intangible force affecting both of you in the bedroom. If possible, the person with the more auspicious intangible force sleeps closer to the direction and the other spouse sleeps on the opposite site (shielded by the spouse). 4. It is best to keep the main entrance area `bright' and natural lighting (if possible).

Dear Gregg: Aaaagggggghhhhh! Don't use Black Hat Feng Shui to "fix" anything - you can make things worse! The Bagua should only be used outside the front door if there is a poison arrow (like a tree, lamp post or neighbor's roof) pointing at you, or a T-junction, etc. Never put it inside the house - it causes discord. I'm sorry to hear that you broke up - you may want to look into how to correct house imbalances in the reports. I can attest to the fact that Cecil's advice really works. Good luck!!! Sincerely, Elena

Dear Niteka, 1. It is difficult to say that one has an area related to the career area and another room? related to ... money room. Or another room related to romance. 2. In my opinion, if it is not personalised to an individual or using Feng Shui in a holistic way, this type of `understanding' is too general to be able to work. 3. I believe that applying fixed template although can bring one "hope", it can also conversely bring one disappointment. As such concepts means that it applies to everyone and I feel that it is too "generalised". Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Robin, The information provided is too general, it is difficult to say what is causing the problem. Under Feng Shui, usually it can be analysed using a combination of: 1. Shapes and Form with regards to Yin and Yang concept. 2. Using the Flying Star theory to find out if the room is too Yin or has Yin factors. Usually, under the Flying Star, it would have to go at least further into the Flying Star of the day or time. The situation would arise if in the day/time at the specific sector has a relatively high concentration of Yin factors. But for a layman, it would be difficult to track all these. There are also other factors such as `Sleeping problems'. 2. In a recent…

Dear Susan, 1. In Traditional Feng Shui, in certain homes, that has been analysed using the Flying Star Chart, there may be specific combination of mountain star and water star which is based on the 81 interpretations that has reference to `legal' problems. 2. There is also one of the base numbers associated with it. 3. As Feng Shui is based on a holistic approach usually, a good FS practitioner would help one to maximise one's Earth Luck i.e. Feng Shui of the home. There are other factors or variables which include one's Ba Zhi or Pillars of Destiny involved. Here one tries to map out one's Heaven Luck and by understanding issues like our element and strength and luck p…

Dear Judy, 1. Poison arrows are `objects' that point towards e.g. the main entrance of the house or through a window into the house. For example, it can be a corner of another house pointing into the house `like' an arrrow' head. Alternatively it can be a lamp post which if one visualises, slicing (like a knife) cutting thru the main entrance door. 2. In a room, poison arrows usually are sharp corners pointed towards e.g. the bed. 3. Overhead beams are considered `Sha Qi' and not poison arrow as it is not aimed at the person or bed but rather it `weighs down' or seem to put on a "pressure" downwards. 4. Position of beds e.g. placing it against a wall for solid support or …

Dear Michal, 1. Many elements of "Shapes and Form" School of Feng Shui is about commonsense approach. 2. The main thing one should remember is that we should make the `room' fit us rather than to "re-design" ourselves to fit the environment. 3. Here, it does not sound appropriate for you to fit into the "principles of FS" based on the book, do re-examine, what you would have done if you have not picked up the book on Feng Shui. 4. Under the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui, things should be `natural' e.g. placing the bed at a location where one feels comfortable. For example placing the bed against a solid wall. 5. Only after one has done the above and have the luxury…

Dear Robin, First of all, a warm welcome to this forum. Feel free to check back past messages which I believe, would help to understand Traditional Feng Shui. 1. The key essence of a good Feng Shui house is based on Shapes and Form School. 2. In order to achieve a quantum Leap in Feng Shui and not entangled under a vicious cycle of `poor' Feng Shui is to look at how a piece of land (it can be the entire neighbourhood) and your specific piece of land can be seen to be able to accumulate wealth. 3. Here, for example, even before one builds a home on the land, a competent FS practitioner is sought to advise on the piece of land and plot where a house can be constructed which…

Dear Anon, The best form of `metal' element is one's clothings. Where possible try to wear white coloured clothings. For example, for men, you can continue to wear dark colored trousers and the best colour for shirts are white or white with `gold'. You need not necessarily wear all white but even white shirt with stripes etc... Same concept for ladies. For a car colour, it would be nice to have a white colored car or gold/yellow colour. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Christina, In my opinion, based on Chinese culture, there is a wish that good numbers bring one luck. Few people relate the relate the no. of fishes to one's kua number. But rather, many people such as Chinese (Cantonese dialect) or Hong Kong people spent money on `numbers'. For example, in my part of the country, we pay bids for car numbers e.g. such single digit new car numbers such as 8 or 9. Therefore, I feel that it would be nice to have the above number of fishes. (Not compulsory thou). This is a separate matter from a Feng Shui audit where the FS practitioner advise their clients to place a certain number of fishes either gold or black to neutralise Sha Qi. In…

Dear Kaushal, In my opinion, other than if the house has good Feng Shui qualities and if the buyer is aware of FS, one can use it as a selling tool. Otherwise, I read with `amusement' some `cures' suggested include tie a ribbon etc... Many factors include the selling price, market conditions and equally ... luck. Regards, Cecil

Dear Jo, 1. Usually no one does that especially pasting it e.g. on a main entrance door. (Under commonsense), it would not be appropriate to come up to the main door and greeted by a tiger with its mouth opened. 2. For the belief on `guardians' of the main door , for example, usually, they come in pairs e.g. two lion statues on each side of the door. 3. Even in some Chinese homes or temples, you see two door Gods on each side of the door. 4. Perhaps, one can have two split image of the tigers on a door. But usually this is not the norm but rarely if some does it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kate, Usually, it would be best to close the toilet door when not in use and keep the location bright and dry. (Thus keeping it more Yang than Yin). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear George, 1. It is difficult to say for sure that, removing some of the toilets and leaving a few behind would help the situation. It can be tried but not sure, if it would work as there are still toilets at the centrepoint of the house. 2. One `idea' of using rocks is to create more `Yang' as rocks or stones are considered Yang objects. If you read it from a book and you can give a try. In general, other alternatives like keeping the toilet bright and clean is a better option.

Dear DeVon, If one intends to harmonize a home using Feng Shui, you may have to: 1. Do lots of `homework' in finding out not only the Principles and Concepts of the various Feng Shui techniques but also how to apply them properly. This can start from reading up books, taking up courses etc... 2. Alternatively, the most `hassle free' method is to consult a competent FS practitioner to do a home audit.
