Dear Liz, Thanks very much for sharing with us your advise:) Yes, ideally, (if possible), it will help. I remembered also in a recent Feng Shui audit of a house, the toilet bowl (Yes, the toilet bowl) is directly above the main entrance door. The owner also encountered `financial' problems. Fortunately, the house has several toilets and after the toilet bowl was removed and covered up, things did turn up well for the owner. Simple things like this may look trival but important. The lesson here is thus to `plug' the weakness of a home. Or I mentioned that if there is a leak, please plug it first. Many people, have the wrong notion and instead of first curing the `disease',…

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 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 Chan, 1. For a house, it is important to understand that the `overriding' consideration before even considering `directions' is the Shapes and Form of the site and the home. 2. Many people like the orientation of a house i.e. from North to South i.e. the frontage is either N-S or S-N. 3. If you are using the Eight House theory: 3.1 Check how suitable are you (the breadwinner) to the house) i.e. the direction of the front door. If it is at your `death or disaster' sector then, this house is the least suitable house to you. 3.2 Next, find out what are the intangible force affecting both of you in the bedroom. Other than the above, and to `face' a good direction, the E…

Dear Gordon, If space is a constraint, there is really not much that can be done. Some Feng Shui practitioners may recommend placing a windchime to `neutralise' the pointed edge. However, one should also take note that windchimes may not be favourable. You can do a search in this forum for more information of the `effects' of wind chimes (if wrongly) placed. Regards, Cecil

Dear Sandy, It would be interesting for users in this forum to know, perhaps who has mentioned this `concept' that metal bed `draw away energy'. Frankly, in my opinion, there is no concrete proof of this. Nowadays, many beds also have many metal springs i.e box beds .... If we can understand more and what is the reason for saying that metal bed `draws away energy'... more of us can then make our own judgements about it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Tonya, Usually, in selecting the home, emphasis must be placed on several *IMPORTANT* factors: 1. You should try to evaluate each house and their Shapes and Form. It is not good if the facing direction of the door is a good direction for you or your husband but subsequently, there is a major flaw in the Shapes and Form of the house. 2. Flying Star. There is an optional report under www.geomancy-online.com where it will advise you on all 24 directions of the Flying Star in relation to your Eight house. The Flying Star analysis tries to find a house with a good `Birth chart'. While the Eight house is to determine how suitable the house is to you. 3. Thus it is not so s…

Dear Thanh, Please see below:- Step 1: Look through your 20 Year Flying Star Chart. Here pay attention to areas that need to be neutralised. Place all the relevant cures in the house. The Eight House theory although is a valid theory, is less important since it is only the `irritation' sector of your main entrance. More importantly, if you are using the Eight House, check the intangible force in areas that you spent most time i.e. this includes the bedroom location. Here, even if your master bedroom is at your disaster sector, you should give priority to proper placement of the bed under the Shapes and Form Feng Shui. Where the bed is located in a suitable sector…

Dear Meilissa, 1. Under Chinese beliefs, if one notice carefully, figurines comes in `pairs'. 2. For example, Fufu dogs or lions are always placed on both sides of the door. 3. For your situation, so long as the hose is not directly `slicing' the main door, this is not a poison arrow i.e. if you are to stand at the main entrance looking out of the house, it should not be tangent or parallel to the main entrance door. 4. For the animal, it can be any object even if it looks `fierce' so long as it faces out of the house. Animal objects that look `fierce' should not look into a home especially into the window or main entrance. 5. You can if there are any `cartoon' characters…

Dear Emily, 1. I believe that one should not `worry' unduly about the layout in a small room especially a dormitory. 2. All over the world, many students have stayed in a dorm, with just the items that you had mentioned. Plus the rooms are small. Thus, your college dorm is no different. 3. More importantly, it is the quality of life spent to pace yourself in studies and study intelligently and consistent work. 4. Recently, a user has attached a sketch of his layout plan. I have `proposed' a layout plan. 5. If you want to do the same i.e. if you have the time, try to use one of the drawing programs with your PC and sketch the layout. Where possible, you can also draw the i…

Dear Michelle, 1. In shallow terms, Feng Shui does not have a direct effect on love and romance. 2. Feng Shui is a holistic method, to increase one's luck and it is usually, has an indirect relationship with love and romance. 3. This is why we do see that Feng Shui based on the Corner Concept where even famous authors in my opinion, give the wrong impression that one can simply enhance one's South West or Romance corner and wonderful things will happen. 4. If one's `Feng Shui' is favourable or good, it will enhance one's luck and with it, indirectly, romance, love and "wealth" would arise. Wealth need not necessary mean money but raising a family, have children etc... 5.…

Dear Caroline, For now, we can only look at it from the Shapes and Form perspective. 1. The plus point in such an arrangement is that there is no way, you have `bad sha qi' where Qi enters the house and exits it immediately e.g. a back door or back windows or balcony at the other side. 2. As you mentioned that it `blocks' the guest bathroom, this would be acceptable. Although, it would be nice if we do not have a bathroom so close to the main entrance sector. Other than the above, you may choose to do a Flying Star or if everything seems ok, dispense with such an audit. Warmest Regards, Cecil

For the benefit of those who may not understand the relationship of Wind `opposite' Thunder, please refer to The First Heaven Sequence trigram. There is a graphic display of this at: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/pakua.htm Where: Heaven to Earth Water to Fire Mountain to Lake abd Wind to Thunder The above is based on the lengendary FuXi's First Heaven Sequence. Yes, you do have a good way of seeing it:) Warmest Regards, Cecil

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 Rev. Michael, 1. Based on my personal experience, it is best to firstly, follow the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui in determining the best direction for a bed. Here, where possible when one opens the bedroom door, it should not directly face the bed (e.g. the leg portion). Most bedrooms now have an attached bathroom and it is considered not auspicious to place the bed on the same wall as the toilet wall especially on the opposite wall as the toilet bowl. 2. As mentioned above, conditions for `Shapes and Form' Feng Shui has first to be met before using other Feng Shui theories. 3. Next, we can use the Eight House Theory. Here, take it as a bonus if the bed can be…

Dear Caroline, Perhaps, you can draw a sketch as I may not correctly get what you mean. Do you mean that when you walk thru the main entrance, you see the closet? How is the closet. Do one turn and walk in to the living room. Warmest Regards, Cecil

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 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 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 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 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…

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…
