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 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 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 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 Susan, We have to see it from two perspectives: 1. If we do not relate it to Feng Shui concepts, simply choose a neutral color like white or a color that you feel that would look good at this sector. 2. Under Feng Shui, we study each person's element and strength plus the house chart and then `select' a colour scheme for the sector. Usually, most of the time, like in Para 1, a neutral color like white or pastel or light shades of a color onto white is ok. We also have to use a common sense approach. Here, check to see the lighting in the home. If there is always natural light, it would be nice to keep the home `naturally' bright and again a neutral color would be nic…

Dear Anon, In my opinion, house numbers are not really based on Feng Shui but numerology. However, within numberology, there are many (many) types of formulas. Sometimes it does not even go into forumlas or methods but simply, the phonetic sound `like'. It is my believe that, if I were to look for a home, my first consideration is location, location and location. I apologise for writing location x 3. But seriously, location is the most single factor that has an impact in Feng Shui and affects our luck. If I were to buy the house, if the house has excellent, good or even average FS, I do not mind buying the house with the no. 2506. Usually, in Asia, where the weekly purcha…

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 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 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 Cindy, Please sent a private message to: robert-lee@geomancy.net We would try to provide you with the necessary reports to do a self-audit. However, you may need to do some homework such as determining the direction of main entrance etc... You should have no problem input the various information required to generate a Home Audit. Take care! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- Nothing much one can do unless one moves the toilet away from this sector. However, it is best to look at the overall house instead of just that particular sector by itself using the major FS theories such as Shapes and Form and Flying Star. For the definition of a missing corner in a house, it should be more than 33.3 percent of that sector's area. Use the url: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/building.htm to check the signifiance of the `missing corner'. For example, if the missing corner is at NE, here, in FS, it implies one may have poor planning. This is in contrast better than a missing corner at the North which may signify meeting …

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 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 DeVon, Usually the best advise is to check on one's religion first. For example, if one is a Catholic, one can obtain holy water from the Priest or invite him to `bless the house'. Similiarly, if one is a Christian, could ask your pastor to come to your home and `do some cleaning'. For other religions e.g. Buddhism, Toaism, should seek the help of their respective Priests/Monks. If one is a `free thinker', can still e.g. invite a religious person or go to a Catholic church to obtain `holy' water. Usually, prayers are said before sprinkling the `holy' water in the house. However, it is best to try to invite a Priest and only do this as a last resort. Where possible, i…

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.

Hi Maggie: I had bought a fish tank for my daughter (she loves fish)but gave it away recently. In our previous house, it enhanced a sector, in our new house, I couldn't seem to find the right spot and we had some mishaps. Ever since we gave it away - everything is fine and my daughter has forgotten about the fish. Don't feel too bad - you will find someone who wants the fish and tank and will be very grateful for the gift. Good luck!

Dear Anon, Appreciate if you can elaborate further as to what you mean by bad Feng Shui at the main entrance i.e what is the poison arrow. Usually, there is currently not much information about the `effects' of using a cross on the main door for such a purpose. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. In general, a neutral colour for a room is white or nowadays there are paints that have light shades of any other colors. 2. This makes the room bright. 3. Under Feng Shui, there are several methods of finding suitable colors: For example:- 3.1 If the home is large e.g. as large as the white house or other stately mansions, one paint each wing a color based on `Feng Shui' colors like.. blue = North, East = green, West = white or gold.... etc 3.2 More professional methods under Traditional FS is to find out one's element and it's strength. After finding out each person's element and strength, for the bedroom, one can then find a Binding element. If the bindin…

Dear Anon, 1. Usually, a Feng Shui consultant would first do an audit of the home and afterwards recommend the placement of a water position (if it is benefical). 2. Other factors include, the breadwinners Ba Zhi or Eight Characters. If the person's element and strength is weak water or strong fire, based on his element, it would be advantages if such a person, has water in his home. However, if the person is a weak fire person, additional water would further exhaust him. Similarly if a person is a strong water person, he should not need more water as it would `weigh' down on him. 3. In general, without taking into consideration the `caution' above, one can generally act…

Hi:-) My brother, his fiancee and I will be moving into a new HDB apartment soon. Our unit is a corridor unit and it faces east. However, my bedroom door faces the main door and the windows in my bedroom faces in main door also. The bedroom is virtually quite empty with only a bed and two cupboards. I should also point out that as you look out of my room window, it is West and there are hills in that direction also. I understand that it isn't good to have the main door facing the bedroom door, but that cannot be helped. There is no way to do a renovation as we are renting the place and it is quite difficult to put a piece of furniture between the main door and the bedroom…
