Dear All, 1. One interesting thing to note about Feng Shui is as mentioned below, in the past, Feng Shui was done more to access the potential of a new city. 2. Here, if the city is situated in a good location, in general, it would mean that this would be good for the community. 3. Thus if we look at it, this means that overall, we as individuals may not need to do a Feng Shui audit for ourselves. 4. But of course, many of us, would like to have a `COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE' or one up, or an edge. 5. The above would mean that most of us, do not need to do a FS audit and can still prospher. 6. Thus there are some people, who have taken up on `Feng Shui' and have faired worse b…

Dear Mark, 1. It would be nice if we can have a look at the design. But not `compulsory' thou. 2. Where possible, doors should open inwards into the house and not outwards. 3. It is acceptable to have carved doors especially, if the owners like them. There is no `fixed' rule on the type of carved door used. 4. In fact, there are many houses in the `past' where decorative panels are used on doors. 5. Nowadays, the most common (in relation to temple main doors)are the `proud' figures of the two famous door gods one on each side of the door panel. 6. Normally a nice designed door panel is good to have and would not be a `horrible mistake'. As I do not have a full view of th…

Dear AM, 1. Yes, I do agree with you that if one is doing Feng Shui on your own, it would be difficult to apply everything universally. 2. This is because no amount of text-book can address `unique' situations. 3. I remembered some years back when a user of this forum wrote that houses in Sweden have their kitchen in an `island' or pumping which is `contrary' to Feng Shui. 4. It boils down to experience and this is where a FS practitioner or `Master' can make the difference. 5. Your situation is not unsimilar to many condominums where some units have their main entrance door facing `land' while their `frontage' or balcony faces water. 6. So far, I believe no book has full…

Dear Greg, Certainly glad to hear from you again. 1. My advise is to `stick' to three most popular Feng Shui methods: 1.1 Shapes and Form If there is one theory which should be given priority, this is it. In my opinon, if one wants to do minimal Feng Shui and yet yield a quantum leap in `luck' this is the most important single Feng Shui theory to use. 1.2 Flying Star If we are talking about a Feng Shui practitioner and their audits, some FS practitioners with a feel for the `land' can do without this theory. But for those, who do not have a `feel' of Shapes and Form can use this to analyse a building or houses. As the calculations are "visible" to them. 1.3 Eight House …

Dear A.A, In general `proper' Feng Shui is about improving one's Earth Luck. An understanding of one's Pillars and making full use of one's element and strength i.e. to map one's Heaven Luck and then try to `change' things is another luck. It is said that improving one's Heaven and Earth luck would indeed help a person. Please see below: Proper use of the above, can indeed help to improve one's luck and chances. It is good that you also have an initial `impression' on the apartment. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Ching Hsia, 1. To be frank, it is always easier to consult a reliable Feng Shui practitioner to do all the legwork for you. 2. But of course, you can do it on your own but would have to consider all the bits and pieces and like a zig saw puzzle piece them together. There are occassionally, the OOps! I think I have made a `mistake' in one or the other. Mistake may happen such as not considering a fundamental situation and the Oops turn up. For example, the house looks perfect but suddenly, without realising `oops' I forgot to check that the toilet is at the centre. Something like this. Please see below:- Each house has its own birth chart and a 3 year old house or…

Children corner and health corner

Dear Colleen, 1. The best way to enhance a house is not to `pay homage' to a few corners of a house. 2. Like an animal or a human being, it is never wise to `corner' someone at a corner. The human or animal becomes extremely threaten and can become `dangerous' or very dangerous. I mentioned this to illustrate how bad `CORNERS' can affect our lives. This is just an illustration. 3. In fact, if one wants to look at `corners' it is more fruitful to just simply look at it from Shapes and Form Feng Shui. Here, look out for `threats' to the main entrance door or windows. Check to see if the house and interior such as position of beds etc.. conform to good Shapes and Form. 4. T…

Dear Gines, 1. Yes, I have used your layout plan provided to find out the centrepoint of the house. 2. The centrepoint looks like it is at the same location as what you had drawn. Please see below:- Please refer to attached sample showing, North, South, East, West, NE, SE, SW, NW. (every 45degree increment). The easiest is to use a protractor to draw the outline. You do not have to worry if the living room or dining room is `L-shaped'. By dividing as shown in the attachment, it will fit in different sectors. Under the compass school of Feng Shui: Eight House and Flying Star, you need to determine the direction of the main entrance door. Here, it is meas…

Dear Anita, It is good to `properly' examine the `missing corner': 1. Normally, it is not considered a `missing corner' if the area of the missing corner is not greater than 33.3 percent of the entire sector. A sector implies cutting the entire house into 9 equal squares. Within each of the squares, please examine if the missing corner exceeds 33.3 percent. If not, it is quite safe. 2. For a landed property: You can outside of the house, `draw' an outline of the missing corner. For example, using landscaping such as a grass outline or use plants to `create' this border. Normally, at the corner of this sector, many FS practitioners would advise having a lamp to light out t…

Dear Anita, 1. Usually, an item or a `small object' will not have much influence over our lifes. For example, a swarovski crystal, will remain a crystal. This is because, it has no magical properties that can help `change our lifes'. 2. For better part, it dwells more with being a decorative piece or a `belief'. Decorative pieces such as the crystal in my opinion, is similar to any other objects or furniture in a room. 3. If we look at it as a `belief'. And if we ourselves belief that it will benefit us, then, it may change our outlook or even make us happy. Thus, for such objects, it is best that you personally feel that it (in the first place) it looks nice and then th…

Dear Tervino, 1. It is good that you asked this interesting question. 2. As far as `cures' are concerned, it is always `safer' to use objects or items that are certain to `conform' or belong to a specific element:- 3. For example, 6 metal coins is `confirmed' to be a metal element and 6 represents `big metal'. 4. A water fountain or a water position is `confirmed' to be a water element. 5. Fire element is represented by Red, pink or purple. A triangle object is also considered as a Fire element. 6. For earth, pottery, ceramic or clay e.g. vases because of its `earth' contents are earth element objects. 7. Plants or wood based objects usually belong to the wood element. 8.…

Dear Judy, It is interesting to note that Feng Shui cannot be done by `remote-control'. You have to stay in the house in order to enjoy it's influence. For example, if you have another property and it is rented. If it has good FS properties, the tenants will get to enjoy it instead of the owners. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Tervino, 1. Eight Aspirations or Eight Associations or Life Associations. It is based on the interpretation of each of the STATIC Kua trigrams into e.g. SW - Romance sector etc... This is similar to the `Black Hat Sect's ' use of STATIC templates. 2. I mentioned in earlier forum messages that the Eight Associations or Life Associations are too generalised to be of any effect in Feng Shui. For example, in earlier messages, I mentioned that if three of us are trying to `woo' a girl. And if we understand the Eight Association concept clearly, we need to ENHANCE our SW sector. Given some imagination, each of us would try to enhance this sector. Perhaps, the three of us h…

Dear Tervino, I `sympathise' with the "confusion" of the 8house and flying star. 1. For the Flying Star: 1.1 Priority should be given to look at imbalances within a specific sector. 1.2 For example, even in a very auspicious sector, there may be an imbalance caused. Once the imbalance is `neutralised', this would generally under the 20 Year Flying Star period, can range from good to auspicious or very auspicious sector. 1.3 After knowing the above, then you can `superimpose' the Eight House of an indiviual "over this ". 1.4 If it is a very aupicious sector under Flying Star and equally, it is an aupicious sector under Eight House e.g. Prosperity, Health etc... all the bet…

Dear Anna, As a weak earth (assuming that this is your true element), wood is not good for you. Metal (especially strong metal) is not good for a weak earth as it exhausts the weak earth. However, if your true element is strong earth, then this would change what was mentioned above. So if we take the above as your unfavourable element. Thus it means that this period is not a favourable period for you in your Pillars of Destiny. If you translate into events this means that things you like to do may end up not as what you wanted. However, take note that by your reference to a period dominated by strongest metal, I am assuming that you are refering to say the 10 year period.…

Dear Anon, Under the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui, it is best to look at the entire area and the interior of the house. Considerations such as: 1. Not only the creek but in general how is the plot of land. Does it measure up to good Shapes and Form. 2. Where possible, there should not be a water position in the house. This is one of the major `flaws' of the house. 3. In addition, think of the scoring in an `examination'. 4. Here, look out for the frontage of the house and neighbouring houses. Are there any poison arrows? If so, can they be cured. 5. Similarly, are there any vulnerability of the windows facing a poison arrow(s). If so can it be cured. 6. Since you a…

Dear Phei Shen, In my opinion, it would not be advisable to use a mirror for the situation you had mentioned: 1. Mirrors break easily and it would be far worse if it shatters and land downwards especially on a person's face or body. 2. If it becomes to concealed, i.e. pipes etc.. there is no way of knowing that there are small leaks which may turn for the worse. 3. If one uses a false ceiling, it has to completely cover the area rather than turning it into a `beam' effect. Thus, it may not be that good idea to use the `mirror'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Phei Shen, Frankly, there is not much one can do unless you move out of the bedroom. Pay more emphasis or try to avoid where possible, the toilet bowl or any sewerage pipes directly above the bed. Or other water pipes that may be DIRECTLY above the bed. Here it is a case of `not so good' Shapes and Form Feng Shui where not much can be done unless, one moves out of the room. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Yvonne, Feng Shui is a holistic approach. The two major schools of Feng Shui are used to look at a home. The two major Schools are: 1. Shapes and Form 2. Compass Schools: The Eight House Theory The Flying Star Theory You have to ask yourself this question " I want to install many mirrors because I geniunely liked them or is it because I have heard that `mirrors' are beneificial ". If it is `hearsay' information that mirrors are good for Feng Shui to bring Prosperity, then, it may not be the case. The cause for concern is `over-eating'. Even in Feng Shui, we should not try to add more than necessary. Logically speaking, a mirror serves a purpose i.e. to look at our im…

Dear Anon, 1. Frankly, yours is not the only situation where there is a `big difference' between your husband's Eight House and your own. 2. Majority of the time, half the battle is won if one has a good Shapes and Form Feng Shui of the home. In some cases, a good Shapes and Form is all that matter for a Quantum Leap in `LUCK'. 3. The Eight House has its limitations. It is also not used to compare one spouse with another spouse. 4. Proper comparison is by using Pillars of Destiny once each person's element and strenght is determine. 5. Even if the comparsion is unfavourable, it is again not "the end of the world". Here, once one know of one's proper Pillars of Destiny "ma…

Dear Gines, 1. Thanks for the attachment posted. 2. Yes, the attached layout where I had plotted the centrepoint is close to what you had plotted. (The balcony can be omitted.) 3. Overall, the plus point is that your house is a complete rectangle (exclude the protusion i.e. balcony). 4. Looks like the toilet is considered at the centre-point of the house. 5. Frankly, and honestly speaking, I have not found a proper cure for this. The only thing that has been advised is to keep it more yang or bright. Avoid, placing anything surrounding the toilet wall or the passage way. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Colleen, If you have done a Flying Star Chart, most likely, the sickness or misfortune star is in your bedroom or living room. In such a case try to check out and cure it. At the same time check the Eight House intangible force in your bedroom or areas where you spent the most time. In addition you mentioned earlier that you are a weak metal. While your husband is a Strong Fire person. Here, his strong fire will further weaken your metal. Therefore, the binding element is "Earth". Which will help your metal grow. Warmest Regards, Cecil Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Colleen, This has to do with beliefs than Feng Shui. Sometimes it is what we want to believe and if one is `convinced' that it will work, then no harm trying. But for those who have doubts in whether it can or cannot work, it is more of " psychology " or of the mind. If we do not feel good in the first place, than, in my opinion, it usually would not work. Take the case of a FS author asking readers to place 3 coins in their accounts book. In my opinion, there is really "no harm" placing it in the book. Whether it works or not is another thing:) Warmest Regards, Cecil
