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. The stove is not located just behind a wall sharing the toilet bowl. The rest depends on other factors. Given that there is at least a walkway and wall, the stove would not face the toi…

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

These are further considerations: 1. It depends on the compass sector of the kitchen 2. The stove should often sit facing the female (wife's) favourable direction). 3. Frankly, a few lines of text can't do justice. 4. However, all I know from you isyousaid "the kitchen stove was facing a little of the kitchen door," and the threat that it will cause your earnings to be lesser than 50% on it's own merits is a blatant threat and one of the dirtiest tricks in the name of Fung Sway. 5. There are scientifc ways in the name of Feng Shui to assess such a situation. And it can't help that you keep on wanting to "squeeze out" information; where what you wrote were simple lines of …

Dear Anon, The placement of the stove should be placed based on several `rulesets' and it differs in each layout. Ideally, under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, it is good to have the stove face inwards of the main door. On landed property, it can still be on a side wall (to maximize the layout plan of a kitchen). Besides this, other `rulesets' apply:- 1. Where possible, the stove should not face a toilet door 2. It should not be placed with an open window. The wall behind the stove should have a solid backing. 3. where possible (especially if the stove is located at the North compass direction) of the house, it should not face a water position direction (or in line with it).…

These are some of the considerations: 1. Besides the stove directly facing the kitchen entrance; does it face e.g. the main entrance door or a bedroom door? (It is also inauspicious if it faces an altar) 2. If the stove faces the kitchen entrance ONLY; and for practical reasons, one cannot relocate the stove; then; at least this is not as bad as above Para 1. 3. Thus, what could be worse especially with Para 1. 4. Frankly, for practical reasons, most of us don't always open and close the kitchen door on a daily basis. 5. Furthermore, in a proper Feng Shui audit, the ba zi of the female of the house is looked at in relation to the position of the stove. And sometimes reloc…

Hi Master Cecil Lee, We really need your help. We have a small old house, with kitchen located on the left of the house (entrance written on diagram below), with a very narrow nook at the back. We are not sure which one is the ideal kitchen layout for each water and fire element, in which position is the stove in commanding position? Also if using Option 1, supposedly stove could not face a door, but what if it's fixed window? If using Option 2, the stove is very near to the stair start. Really am seeking for your advice, really appreciate it!

Dear Monique, 1. It is always good to begin a home audit by doing observations to locate any Sha Qi or poison arrows, first. 1.1. Some important things to note include, any `threats' to the maindoor, through any of the windows 1.2. location of the toilets, 1.3. whether Qi enters the house and exits immediately (straight path - bad) Besides the above, do a full Shapes and Form audit of each of your rooms (where possible) looking at the position of the bedrooms etc.. (There are many traditional books on Shapes and Form or read the resources under: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/site.htm ) 2. Most of the time, if the above is done and if the house has relatively (few problems) …

Hi Master Lee! 1) Looking at my current floor plan design, one of my domino hob (induction) will be partially facing the kitchen door. I am planning to shift them towards the right side abit which means the domino induction hob will be fully facing the kitchen door. This is to allow some counter space beside the oven so that I can place any hot stuff after taking them out from the oven. The oven is beside the domino gas hob. Is it okay for my induction hob to be facing kitchen door? The sink is where the water pipe will be. I tried other layouts but all seemed to be very squeezy. 2) My master bedroom bed (head section) is in the direction of the bedroom doo…

Hi Cecil, Due to my compressed kitchen, I have no choice but to position my stove(with theknob)facing the Main Door (with a brick wall in between that separates my living and kitchen area). Since there is a brick wall that prevent a person standing at the main door to looking directly to the stove, is this position acceptable in feng shui ? If not, how do I overcome it without movingand changingmy stove ? thank you.

Dear Peck Wun, Frankly, once, the renovation has been completed, there is not much one can do here. Overall, we have to look at the main concern: 1. water position facing the stove or 2. toilet bowl also facing the stove Under your current situation, although it is not ideal, as mentioned, unless one relocates the stove, there is no much else one can do. Close the toilet door. In my opinion, your threat, is not as critical as shown under Para 1. or 2. Any other proposed `cure' is similar to taking a sugar coated pill. "Comforting but no effect." Warmest Regards, Cecil
