Dear Anon, Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. 1. Most of the time, the 8‑pie method is the easiest to use if you have a protractor or a ready-made transparent template. It makes it very simple to find the center point and then quickly sketch or draw the 8‑pie chart on a copy of the layout plan. The 8‑pie method is also very handy if the house has an odd shape, has missing corners, or if you want to do an analysis that extends beyond the actual outline of the house. It works well for circular houses too. Many Traditional Feng Shui practitioners like using this method because, in my opinion, the Water, Mountain, and Base star numbers c…

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, ideally, one should not use a large cactus to neutralize the sha qi. 2. A large (indoor) plant would be a better alternative. It can also be an artificial plant. Also, on a "commonsense" approach, it would not be ideal to place a large cactus plant in a shopping complex or office as someone may accidently brush against it or their bags etc.. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. First of all, one viewpoint of the Grand Duke Theory is that the Grand Duke is actually based on the movement of the Planet Jupiter. 2. As Jupiter is the largest planet circling, thus Chinese astronomers believe that it has an influence (e.g. magnetic influence) on other planets depending on its location. 3. Thus, one view is that the Grand Duke is based on Chinese Astrology readings. Please see below:- Yes, I recalled a real life example of a user in this forum. I believe it was one of the older messages. She mentioned that workers dug earth outside the room which she was sleeping. And she had problems after that. Yes, based on the 3 killings, usua…

Dear Valerie, This has to be approached from two view points: (1.) Using Intutitive Feng Shui (2.) Using Traditional Feng Shui methods 1. If one do not want to dwell further into Feng Shui, can use the intuitive or their 6th Sense. Under this, so long as the house has had no major problems, such as `happenings' like unnatural deaths etc.. Issues like previous "domestic problems" should not be an issue. Such Sha Qi usually dissipates `fast'. 2. For those who go further i.e. using Feng Shui may, use the Eight House Theory to see where is the best placement of the table i.e. generally checking the auspiciousness or inauspicious sectors. 3. Where possible, the office table p…

Dear Anon, 1. If you have the opportunity to avail yourself to the services of a Feng Shui practitioner onsite, much the better. Since you are building a new house, many considerations need to be considered. Other important considerations, is that the Feng Shui consultant can advise you on the best date for `starting' the work. 2. There are lots of considerations to be made and a trained eye would be a better choice. Please see below:- There are a few considerations here: 1. Where possible, the house should be suitable to the breadwinner. The Eight House can be used generally to check how suitable the house is to the breadwinner. Where possible avoid the death or disa…

Dear Anon, 1. Priority should be given to the Flying Star Analysis as it takes into consideration the Time Dimension in Feng Shui. 2. However, we have to ask this question: Although Flying Star Analysis takes into consideration the Time Dimension, what is the duration of the Flying Star analysis using the Time Dimension? For example, the usual standard is to do a 20 Year Flying Star and if the practitioner is proactive, would also do a Yearly Flying Star Analysis. 3. For those who use the report at Geomancy-online.com, a full report would include the 20 Year Flying Star, plus the Yearly and Monthly Flying Star analysis. 4. Normally, you should use the 20 Year Flying Star …

Dear Anon, 1. Star #2 has the `Earth' element. 2. A solid mass may inadvertently represent the Earth element. It is best to be cautious when activating a mountain star at #2 or #5. It may create an imbalance and activate e.g. the #2 causing sickness. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi, I think it's because bedrooms are enclosed by walls which are like mountains. So mountain dragons are considered automatically activated in bedrooms.

Dear Anon, This link has a short write up of the origins of the Japanese Cat:- http://www.bekkoame.or.jp/~ys-trade/CAT.HTM Source and credit: (The above site) The Origin of Happy Cat(Fortune cat) The origin of the Happy cat (fortune cat) dates back to the end part of 1780's in Edo(Tokyo). The happy cats have been considered to beckon and welcome customers to the shops by rising its hand (Please note, in Japan, the gesture such as happy cats do means beckoning somebody forward.) and thanks to this, shop, especially restaurant, must do a goods business with so many customers. On the other hand, at the firm village, happy cat was sometimes placed at farmers house as a guard…

Dear Anon, 1. More important concerns are where a house faces 1.1. A temple or church 1.2. A cemetry Other brutal occurences in the home 2. Primarily, the above are the main concerns as a temple or church is said to be a `depository' of emotions etc... 3. A house next to or near a school, is acceptable. Thus one should not `worry' unduly over this. And not an issue. 4. The concept of clear space is an important consideration and has priority under the Shapes and Form. Thus is it good to have clear space be a park. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Further to the earlier message, this combination of stars is pretty interesting:- If Moutain Star #2 and Water Star #7, the significance is:- "Enjoy good wealth during period 7. However, great wealth will result in possible romance. Beware of someone using kindness or romance to cheat you of your wealth."

[Based on the message posted below] Dear Anon, Frankly, I also do not like to do manual checking and have done away with it. Perhaps, why not try to take up a course/correspondense from any of the websites that provide such a course. Currently, I am still not `satisified' with the current materials on the course at geomancy.net is suppose to launch. Will only launch it when I am completely satisfied with the quality and content. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Click this link to view pictures of the God of Wealth Did you see the various views of a bronze God of Wealth in the above link? Did you see the God of Wealth riding a tiger and holding a tael of gold, ingot? Does the God of Wealth look `fierce'? Dear Dylan, 1. It is quite common to find such bronze statute i.e. of the God of Wealth, sitting on a tiger. 2. Frankly, I do not see any problems with such a statute. Firstly, usually this figurine is small and the main `character' is the God of Wealth. 3. Symbolically, since he rides on the tiger, the Tiger can be considered as `tamed' by him. 4. Although this is not Feng Shui belief, ideally, it should be `accorded' the respe…

Dear Anon, 1. The closest Chinese `theory' that can analyse a child's future is: 1.1. Pillars of Destiny, 1.2. Palmistry. This area is less popular today. But it is still able to `map' out a person's Heaven luck. 2. Pillars of Destiny One must understand that Pillars of Destiny is suppose to map out a person's Heaven's map. However, the `escape' clause is that it can be changed especially by: - interaction with the surrounding e.g. family, - education, - relationships with friends etc.. - technology and advancement in science, such as test-tube babies, artificial insemination, advancement in replacement of organs etc... 3. More importantly, give your child, love and affe…

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, we have to place priorites. 2. Even in Feng Shui, our immediate concern is to neutralise external threats first. 3. Within, the house, there are equally priorities that we must `set'. For example, it is more important to redress issues like placement of bed, ceiling beams etc.. 4. As I mentioned in several forum messages, priority should take care of crucial problems such as under Para 1. Furthermore, if it is the edge of a building, it has a far greater mass than a tiny hi-fi speaker. 5. It is important to note that our life on this earth is relatively short. So, if we enjoy TV shows, why not, have a TV in the bedroom. Or a hi-fi. Warmest R…

Dear Anon, 1. First of all thanks for pointing me to the direction of what the Tansu step cabinet look like. 2. In my opinion, Chinese medicine chest cabinets also have small compartments but usually are of equal height or levels. 3. I can understand your `concern' after looking at it. On one hand, it looks ok to me i.e. even if there are `poison arrows' it seems to point upwards. In my opinion, it is difficult to say since, I have very little encounters with this specific cupboard. Overall, you may have to decide should you want to purchase it. 4. Based on past experience, usually the `worst' threats are those aimed at the main entrance door and windows of a home. These …

Dear Fred, Usually, it is best to leave it to fate for a baby to be born. In cessarian birth, where the date and time can be predicited, this is still possible. Currently, it is possible to generate a pillars for each date (time would have to be predeterimined each day or left out) but, personally, I do not have the time to generate and analyse on this. Perhaps, we may consider doing this at a later date. Our main concern is currently helping quite alot of people with `problems.' Hope u understand our situation. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Based on your information, it is presently difficult to `pinpoint' how effective, Feng Shui can do at this time. 2. One think for certain is that: 2.1 Feng Shui can help to `reverse' some of the Earthly Luck of your home. 2.2 As for the office, as you mentioned that your investment is overseas, it is difficult to do Feng Shui by "remote control." Usually, an audit has to be conducted at the office premises. 2.3 As you mentioned that both of you have present jobs, one way is to `enhance' each individual by using the Pillars of Destiny i.e. looking at the element and its strengths. 3. Currently, between (divided) amongst ourselves we are currently helping many…

Dear Anon, 1. Some Feng Shui practitioners really believe in using lighting with five bulbs. For them, it’s a way to neutralize Sha Qi in a space. In my view, these practitioners are usually more aligned with the Shapes and Form School. 2. Another group, often those who are more mathematically inclined and rely on Flying Star Feng Shui, tends to pay special attention to the number 5, which is linked to misfortune. I feel that these practitioners have a stronger association between the number 5 and bad luck, so they may prefer to avoid using anything related to the number 5. 3. From my experience working with many cases involving the centrepoint, here’s what I…

Dear Anon, There is some truth in this statement. 1. It is best to keep or concentrate pumbing to one side of the house: 1.1. For the developers, it is easier to build. (Although this is not our main concern here). 1.2. Many good houses have the above characteristics. Even many `good' buildings reserve e.g. a corner of the building for the pantry area, the male and female toilet is at this corner of the house. 1.3. The next important characteristics is to have the water position share an external wall. Here, this simply means that if the toilet shares an external wall it can never be at the centrepoint of the house. 1.4. In my opinion, it is not so much of preventing the …

Dear Anon, We live in a real world and if we like in a studio apartment, we should not worry unduly about its effect on Feng Shui. You can still apply Feng Shui concepts: 1. Ideally, if the entire studio apartment is one open area, we can artificially provide sections e.g. between the kitchen and say the living room or the bedroom, have a `partition' such as an eating counter etc.. 2. For the living room, or bedroom, leave a `gap' or a short distance between say the bed and the other `rooms'. 3. It is not compulsory but some actual examples also include the using carpets to have an outline between one area e.g. the living room and other areas. (This is not compulsory) bu…

Dear Anon, 1. No, what you mentioned is not the correct application of Feng Shui. 2. In Feng Shui, we must determine, whether is it personalised for the individual? 2.1 If one look at it closely, even Shapes and Form School analysis is personalised to the individual or the specific home. For example, if there is a corner of a building aimed at your home, the poison arrow is aimed at that specific house. Thus it does not mean that because of the poison arrow aimed at the above house, other houses e.g. a neighbours would automatically get the Sha Qi. Most likely not. If so, it may, instead be at a `T' junction and thus have a totally different poison arrow. If we scrutini…
