Dear Anon, 1. Practical or applied Feng Shui does not come about like what you had mentioned. 2. Recently, I got calls from potential clients worried about how their new condo could be turned topsy turvy with Feng Shui. 3. One potential client mentioned that, there were so worried to engage the same Feng Shui practitioner as their relative. This was because, the Feng Shui practitioner asked them to tear down the newly built wardrope and kitchen cabinets. Of a new condo. 4. These are similar concerns echoed by at least 3 more callers that I had received. Hmm... in my opinion, doing so is indeed a waste of money. And quite a desperate move. Which is never fruitful. On the c…

Hello Master Lee, My husband and I are want to build on a corner lot facing east which faces a beautiful creek with lots of trees. However, there is a storm drain on the left of the house and there is also one on the other side of the street with a lamp post. Pictures are attached. The red line is where the storm drain is. Is this feng shui ok? Please help!

Master Lee, My wife and I are considering purchasing a home with a storm drain in front of it. The house (front door) faces north. I have attached a picture. Drain cannot be seen from front door due to plants in front yard. Is thi considered bad feng shui for us? Thank you for your help.

House is facing West. There's a storm drain right outside the house, beside the garage doors' driveway (see picture) Is this bad? Since water flows through my driveway and into the drain, is that equivalent to water ($$$) draining off? If so, how do I prevent it? Or repel that? Since the storm drain is on the road, and it belongs to the city government, I don't think I can do anything about the drain. Thank you.

No, as it is covered up. The test is usually, from inside the compound of the home, can one see the drainage. For all landed properties, often, there are two exit points that "will bring wealth" depending on whether water flows to the left or right of the house. And often, a third exit point can bring "power and authority" to the home owner. If not sure, try to seek expert help from a Feng Shui professional.

Thanks.

Dear Pam, Once a house has some water feature (ie drain etc). Then you have to consider the impact of the water course feng shui. Especially, the direction of the water flow as well as the shape of the drain. URL: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-wcourse.htm Generally, a drain near a house, poses a couple of problems typical problems like smell / flooding etc. Most of the time if you have a choice, it is best to avoid houses with such a drain if and where possible. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Sorry to trouble you again because i don't really understand what you mean by "do not face the stairs".My staircase is split into 2 - the first sectiongoes up to an empty space, then the empty space turns180? to the second section. Iam placingthe sword at this empty space, i.e. People will see the sword as they look in front when walking up or down the stairs. Is this considered facing the stairs? should this be avoided. I also read from an article that the sword should be placed in a direction to give the owner an advantage, is there any direction (e.g. North, South, East, West) the sword should or should not face? Thank you!

These are some considerations: 1. Photo did not show out. 2. Please note that if the storm drain(s) are not covered; it also depends on the facing direction of the home. As this makes a difference if water should flow from right to left or left to right if it is "passing" thru the frontage.

Dear Judy, Based on Feng Shui, one has to try and protect `entrances': 1. Entrances such as the main entrance door and windows. 2. In your situation, determine whether, the broken tree stump is now a `sha qi': 2.1 Stand at the main entrance or the window(s) especially if the tree stump is tangent or `cut's across or slice thru the main entrance or a window. 2.2 If, the above is true; then, it is best to try and take immediate action as soon as possible, such as `cutting' down the rest of the tree and remove the roots. 2.3 If the tree stump does not cut thru the window or main entrance, then, you can take your time to uproot or remove the tree especially if it no longer co…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Hi.. I have a question to ask about stove and toilet.. As per attached picture, will there be any leakage of wealth? Cos that is the only favorable position in my kitchen to place the stove, and in order to avoid the toilet entrance from facing the stove, I have purposly build a wall to block it. Would need your advice.. Thank you.. Generally, as long as these two worst setup is avoided, should be ok:- 1. The stove does not face the toilet bowl directly. 2.

Dear Oliv, Traditionally or in the past, there were no such thing as either the electric oven or the refrigerator. (Although there is the clay kiln -- which for the Chinese is often used to make pottery). Otherwise, unlike in the middle east, the Chinese do not often bake bread or pita etc... (As the main Chinese stable food is rice). The most important consideration therefore has to do with the position of the stove. Please note that in my opinion, the micro-wave oven should be considered as belonging to the metal element. This is because, unlike conventional ovens that use heat, the micro-wave ovens excite molecules "inwards" using the wave-length e.g in the 800 mega…

These are some considerations: 1. Stove sharing wall with staircase 1.1 In my opinion; this has more to do with common sense then Feng Shui. 1.2 It has more to do with the concern that perhaps more fires start in the kitchen then elsewhere. More so, at the location of the stove. For example, forgot to turn off the stove or cooking half-way and forgot all about it... 1.3 And since the staircase / stairway is primarily the main means of EXIT from a fire from the upper floors; It can be blocked and worse still; heat transfers to the walls / falls near or at the stairs. Not forgetting smoke rising from the stairs "air-well. 2. Thus for the above reasons; it is best not to loc…

Thanks for your sketch. As mentioned, previously; this has more to do with common sense then Feng Shui. For example; if there is a fire at the stove area; and since it is sharing the same wall as the "exit' stairs; don't want to have a flash fire at that location nor smoke coming out of that area...

This is under the category of "symbolism" in Feng Shui. And nice-not to have the WC sharing the same wall as the stove. In many of the write-ups of uncompleted condo units: I have also noticed and highlighted that it is "nice-not-to" have the wc sharing the same wall as the stove especially if they are directly next-wall to each other.

Further to what I had mentioned; United Overseas Land Limited associated project was this condo - The Eden Executive Condominium. Name: The Eden Type: Executive Condominium Location: TAMPINES ST 34 Total No of Units: 430 TOP Date: May 2003 (in batches) Tenure: 99 years w.e.f 12/9/2000 In my opinion, this developer is lesser known because it develops fewer residential projects than the Hong Leong Group and it's subsidiary City Developments Limited (CDL) and Far East Organisation put together. Some of United Overseas Land's recent projects include The Sunshine, Moulmein and Country Park. The url is as follows:- http://203.126.226.234/uol/residential.htm In my opinion, …

Bear in my that when we approach such questions Often many of the situations, it may or might be based on "commonsense". For example, a reason why the stove should not be facing say a kitchen door entrance is e.g. when one is cooking, one's back is against the kitchen entrance, since all of us dn't have eyes behind our head, it was felt that one may be caaught unawares, in this instance. The other reason is under "symbolism". Here, it is best to avoid having a stove face a bedroom door. If the stove faces a kitchen door but does not face a bedroom door, this is considered the lesser of the two evils as compared to a stove below a beam, unless this beam is "covered" …

Dear Sandra, Usually this is not an issue especially if there is a gap or distance between the stove and the sink. Usually, the further the distance the better. But sometimes as low as 6 inch gap is -- if space constraints, is still acceptable. For more information about the stove, I have added the article that appeared in the magazine "Home Concepts" on the stove. I believe, it will make interesting reading. (This article was posted, just yesterday). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi Master, was quite confused about "stove cannot be in NW sector". Does it refer to stove cannot be in NW sector of house or stove cannot be in NW sector of kitchen? Thank you!

Dear Anon, 1. I quite understand your situation. Nowadays, it is difficult for many homes to have a good placement of the stove - to the `advantage' of the homeowner or spouse. 2. If the above is not auspicious, other considerations are: 2.1 The stove should have a `solid backing' e.g. be placed against a wall instead of having a window at it's back. 2.2 Where possible, it should not have a beam above it. Or if possible, water pipe should not be criss-crossing it e.g. in the kitchen cabinet. 2.3 If the kitchen is at the north sector (water element) of the house, ideally, the stove should not face a water position such as the wash basin. As the `warmth' of the stove may be…

Dear Anon, This position, thou not `ideal' is still acceptable. This type of issues are ranked lower importance to many other more important points as discussed in this forum. Other more important issues include: 1. A person's suitability to the house. 2. Is the bedroom in an auspicious sector. 3. The toilets should not be located next to the front door, above the main entrance etc.. 4. The flying star chart of the house in relation to a person's Ba Zhi etc... Warmest Regards, Cecil

I go to Europe and there are two floors. They both enter at different places; to get down stairs you have to go out side and to go upstairs you have to go outside. Kind of like this house you have to go outside to access the basement
