Dear Anon, The size of the diameter circle can be between 2.2 cm to 2.8 cm. For the star, can be slightly larger, from tip to tip at around 3 cm. Need not be larger than the above per `foil'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Water fountains can generally be placed in a living room especially, if one based it on intuition. If based on `investigative' Feng Shui, these are some of the considerations: 1. for the breadwinner who is a weak fire or strong water person, it is advisable not to have a water position in the house. 2. Under the Flying Star analysis, for example you have mentioned a specific sector or compass direction. Ideally, one should look at the elements e.g. water & mountain star plus the base and check to see if it is acceptable to add a water position. The above two concepts are important in Feng Shui. There is another concept called Ba Zhi Feng Shui which Robert w…

Dear Carina, In Feng Shui, the compass direction North or 0 degrees is represented by the Water element. This is the rationale why many Feng Shui practitioners relate the link between water positions and water. `North' therefore refers to the true compass direction i.e. at 0 degrees. North therefore does not mean relative north positions. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Alex, 1. In Japan, the Feng Shui practitioners usually practise `9-Star Ki'. 9-Star Ki is one and the same as Flying Star Feng Shui. The only difference is that because of the way, information has been collated, one should not mix the two together. 2. My recommendation is that you either follow one or the other but not use both. 3. Usually, a holistic approach in Feng Shui i.e. if properly used i.e. to enhance the Earth Luck thru Feng Shui and Heaven Luck thru Pillars of Destiny, may help in this area. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, There are two `issues' here: 1. Usually, we do not look at your element e.g. weak fire or strong water with external water positions. 2. Priority should be given to balance the exterior of the house. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Thanks for your reply. 2. In my opinion, based on what you have mentioned, this should not be an issue. The cactus plant and the purpose why it was placed there does not seem to pose a threat to your home. 3. A threat is usually one where it slices thru the main door e.g. at the middle or if one stands at the door, one can see e.g. a lone lamp post. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Yes, it is good feng shui to have the kitchen share an external wall. 2. It can be the wash basin. 3. `Rooms' that do not share an external wall would imply that they are somewhere in the interior of the house (not necessary centrepoint) but somewhere in the `interior'. This applies to other `four walled' rooms such as a bedroom. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Priority should be given to Flying Star Analysis rather than lessen the `irritation' of the Eight House Theory. The Eight House Theory offers no cure with respect to Feng Shui. 2. Either you sleep further away or stay away from that sector or use the spouse as a `shield'. For example, if that sector is his health sector, he sleeps closer to this intangible sector. 3. In any event, irritation is not as worse off as the `death or disaster sector'. 4. The better method of enhancing your room is not to just look at your personal element and enhance based on this but to look at both husband and wife's element and strength and find a `binding' combination i.e…

Dear Anon, To help you understand better, I have drawn a sketch of two layouts which are considered good staircase layout plans. There are more, but these two are, in my opinion, the most common ones:) Two sample layouts: Layout A and B of auspicious location of a staircase. The advantage of staircase: Layout A is that if one can imagine, a storeroom can be built below the stairs. Secondly, there is a private corridor to go upstairs.

Sample of Three Coins tied with red string. Common advice: Place it in your wallet Further to those who are new to this forum:- In the past, I have posted the following information: 1. Use the 5 elements concept (Ref: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/5element.htm ) Under the destructive element: Example 1: If you are a strong metal person, in order for this person to create wealth, he `destroys' the element wood. If you are a strong wood person, by destroying `Earth' you create wealth If you are a strong earth person, by destroying `Water' you create weath etc... Under the above condition, you must be STRONG in order to destroy the element `in-front' t…

Dear Anon, 1. This arised because a user asked whether to cover the shoe rack. Earlier, I posted that it is of course much better to remove the shoe rack if it is at the main entrance area. 2. The correct way to practise Feng Shui is to manage the entire house e.g. make sure that everything is inbalance first. I merely mentioned that whether to cover or remove the shoe rack is secondary. I believe what you have asked was, can things be changed by removing the shoe rack or covering it. I mentioned that, it is not the most important thing to do in Feng Shui. For example, if there is a hole in a ship. Even if it is a small one, there will still be leaks in it. So, it is in…

Dear Anon, This is quite subjective and there are differing opinions on this. You have added a further `twist' by indicating that it can be seen from the side. If you MUST do it, `try it' and willing to share with us your findings, that will be great. Warmest Regards, Cecil

[HDB stands for Housing and Development Board or Government Development Housing for the masses in Singapore. I believe, 90 percent of Singaporeans stay in these flats]. Dear Anon, 1. Even under Feng Shui, there are priorities and importance. Threats of serious importance are e.g. sharp corner of another building aimed at the house. 2. Secondly, usually, if I am not mistaken: 2.1 These service yards, are not aimed against the door of another apartment. Perhaps, the window of another block's service yard. 2.2 In my opinion, these are `weak' threats or no threats at all. Frankly, I have yet to come across or seen a `neighours bamboo poles aimed at another's main door. Mayb…

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, Feng Shui cannot help you in this area. 2. I heard of other methods e.g. acupuncture etc... Alternatively, if this sounds `scary', perhaps, you would like to find other programs or join a help group on this. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Gloria, 1. Does the cabinet of the TV or any other objects in your room form a sharp corner aimed at the bed? Or any beams above the bed. 2. Under Feng Shui, you can also check: 2.1 The Eight House Theory to see what are the intangible force at this sector of the room. To find out more on this theory and application: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm You can also use the computerized report at http://www.geomancy-online.com to generate the report. 2.2 The investigative method is to use the Flying Star Analysis to balance the house especially sectors that are out of balance. Most likely, there may be a sickness or misfortune star at that sector or other imbalance…

Just to share with forum readers. I recently shifted into my new condo apartment in July 1999. On shifting in, my career did not improve. In fact, took a nose-dive. I was by-passed for a promotion and my boss was snubbing me for circumstances beyond my control. I read a FS book that stated that having a fish tank in the north sector of the living room will improve one's career prospects. I didn't want to manage the hassles of a fish tank, so, I thought of using something more static. I decided to install tiles of fishes on my cabinet that was located in the north sector of the living room just to see if things improve. Surprise! Surprise! six months down the road, I have…

Dear Elena, Thanks for your detailed description of Monet's Nympheas. In my opinion, and my personal feelings that it more appropriate to place it at the couch area (although there is a small percentage of water and it is not within the bedroom area). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jan, 1. Generally, if one is undecided which is color to choose, use a neutral color like white colour. This serves another `purpose' ie to make the exterior `Yang' as opposed to `yin' dark. 2. Other `light' colors are generally acceptable. 3. More importantly, the roof tiles should not be in blue color as this represent water and may suggest `difficulty' for the household. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, One popular Feng Shui principle is "If you cannot see it, it no longer is a threat". For a cure, `if a cure is not displayed it, it no longer works". Hope the above helps:) Warmest Regards, Cecil Lee (c) 2000

Dear Anon, I believe these are `modern' books. We are aware that charcoal can be used to neutralise odour e.g. in a fridge. Perhaps, those who recommended using coal is on the same concept e.g. to `absorb'... something... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. You brought up an interesting question. 2. Honestly, at present I really do not have the answer. This is because, there are very few houses I personally come across with a bedroom at the centre location of the house. Usually, this would either be clear space, the staircase area or the hallway and even toilet locations. More commonly part of the living or dinning area. 3. Another reason is because bedroom suppose to be private area i.e. four walls and windows /door and I cannot imagine a bedroom at the centre and yet, have windows surrounding at least one side. 4. Assuming that you sleep at the centre room, then it is difficult to apply the Eight House conce…

Dear Linda, At locations like the NE (Devil's gate) and SW (Devil's backdoor), it should not be a concern unless: 1. The location becomes too YIN. For example, one grows a large tree. A large tree creates shade and makes that area too Yin. 2. In such a situation, it increases the YIN and more likely, prone to effects of `evil influences'. 3. One can also use the Flying Star chart to check on how much Yin influence is in a particular room such as the North East. If there is too much yin elements plus it is contributed by Para 1, then more cause for concern. 4. I believe, by asking some of these questions, you are `new' to Feng Shui and Chinese Divinity methods. My advise…

Dear Linda, 1. Firstly, Congratulations! 2. If you are in Singapore, or any in the region, it is common to go to any of the temples to get `blessed'. If you are not sure which temple, you can visit more `netural' temples such as the Goddess of Mercy Temple (Quan Yin) at Waterloo street. 3. Items like Buddhas and other religious objects are not Feng Shui so, I do not subscribe to users buying them for such purposes. As it has more to do with religion. And inviting idols etc.. would imply that one may have to pray to these. So this is up to the individual and their faith. 4. More importantly the main considerations are: (In most traditional practises) a. Choosing an auspic…

Dear Anon, If one is not sure, please use the Pie chart method. It is similar to the Eight House `angle' of influence concept: If you can draw a simple diagram to illustrate what you mean, as I am not too clear what u actually mean:) Warmest Regards, Cecil
