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. 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

[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. 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, 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, Further to what was mentioned earlier, it is common for many Chinese to find a Geomancer after the birth of their child. The geomancer looks at the child's Pillars of Destiny. In a very simple example, the child's pillars lack fire element, his can be added with the phonetic sound of `fire'. As each Chinese character can be classified under each of the Five elements, e.g. the strokes of the name is counted which is considered Yin or Yang such as even or odd strokes plus looking at the phonetic sound. I brought up an example a short article: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/names.htm where, my grandfather consulted a geomancy and my elder brother was given a name wi…

Dear Anon, 1. Some Feng Shui practitioners `swear' by the use of lighting with Five bulbs. To them, they believe that it can neutralize Sha Qi at a location. In my opinion, here, the practitioners are usually, more of the Shapes and Form School practitioners. 2. While another school of thought usually those are more `mathematical' and uses more of the Flying Star, because of their `inclination' to look at No. 5 (misfortune). I believe these practitioners have a `deeper' association of no. 5 with misfortune and in my opinion, may tend to `avoid' the use of anything 5. 3. In my opinion, having seen lots of cases of problems relating to the centrepoint, I feel that : 3.1. If…

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…

Dear Jomay, In the heading you used Bath room/powder room. Perhaps, can you elaborate more: 1. How close is the bathroom to the centrepoint? (Where is the toilet bowl) 2. Are there any pumbing in the powder room? Or what is the layout like. If you can, do use the conference: Conference for Attaching Layout and attach a .gif or .bmp or .jpg 3. It is hard for me to comment without knowing the full picture. 4. I must stress that where possible, the Shapes and Form in terms of the site, the house layout and the interior position of the furniture is equally important. 5. It is also `essential' to try to use the Eight House Template and visualise the intangible force at each s…

Dear Anon, 1. In the past, occupations are `clear cut'. One can easily relate it to the type of occupation. 2. Nowadays, because of different functions and multi-skilling, jobs are harder to identify. 3. In my Applied Feng Shui book, I have provided many examples of jobs and the relation to the elements. 4. Under the Pillars of Occupation Report under geomancy-online.com , it shows the `types' of occupation: 4.1. Occupation and Wealth Occupations, based on Pillars of Destiny would most like provide wealth. 4.2. Occupation and Power Occupations that `gives' one power 4.3. Other occupations Examples of occupations are highlighted each for Wealth, Power and Other occupation…

Dear Anon, In such a case: 1. The person having the `spook' should sleep closer to the compass sector while the other party sleeps further away. 2. It depends on `how far' you would like to apply Feng Shui. 3. Usually my advise is to find out more or have a `bigger' picture of the situation. In this regards, you may want to consider looking at other `issues' such as: 3.1. Is the shapes and form of my house `OK'? i.e. Is my main door `protected' from poison arrows (if any) 3.2. The site of my house OK? For example is there a solid backing and clear space at the frontage of the house? Is there a missing corner? 3.3. In the interior of the home, where is the position of the …

Dear Carina, Please see below:- 1. Under Traditional Feng Shui, it is known as The Eight House Theory or the East Group or West Group persons. 2. Quite a lot of information is available at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm 3. If you check back quite recent messages, I have mentioned what: 3.1 What is the purpose of the Eight House Theory 3.2 What are the uses and limitations on this theory. Perhaps you may have to do `some' homework by doing a search for this. As the same question has been covered recently. This is such a `wide topic'. It may not necessary come under Feng Shui. I would consider it as a belief or disbelief. It is natural that dried flowers turn…

Dear Anthony, 1. Usually, for a house at ground level, the following is `acceptable' Feng Shui for a split level house: 1.1 The living room should be the lowest. There can be steps to the dining room. And the staircase to the second storey can be at this level (dining room level). The kitchen can be slightly lower than the dining room. For example a few inches lower to 6 inches. There is no hard and fast rule. But rather more important, is that the backyard should have good backing or solid support e.g. a retaining wall. To act as a `tortise back'. The rationale is that sometimes we need to wash the floor and water do not need to flow into the dining room and subsequentl…

Dear Anon, First, the good news is that the moles mentioned under the illustration at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/face.htm usually refers to `significance' of inauspicious moles. Thus the `good news' is that any other positions are either considered neutral or if wants one to consider acceptable locations. Frankly, I have researched further on the mole you mentioned, yet. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Essentially, Qi force cannot be examined with the naked eye. So far, no one could really map out or see the flow of `Sha' Qi from a slopping ceiling. It is not like a wind tunnel experiment etc... 2. I have ever come across, some innovative people in Hong Kong, who had created a Qi `detector '. Frankly, I have never tried it so cannot comment further. If anyone has come across it and tried it, do let us know. 3. One logic of having a screen or false ceiling is that it essentially distributes the `weight' or `force' (if I can call Sha Qi as a `force'). Similarly, perhaps it could work with water as in a fish tank because water is level and essentially, Qi may…

Dear Anon, So far, Lillian Too has a Chinese Numerology Book. It is quite difficult to digest thou as this is not one of her `best works'. In my opinion, she is better writing books on Shapes and Form books. One can enhance oneself by knowing the a person's birth element and strength. Sorry, I am not sure what is your question as we are usually moving around. Unless you are referring to constantly `facing' a poison arrow. I believe not much unless one try using more Yang than yin. E.g. brighter clothing. I am not sure how effective this is. If so, try to wear clothing that enhances your birth element e.g. weak water person can try to wear a blue clothing/shirt. W…

Dear Anon, Please see below:- It is still acceptable to have water at the East in a very general sense. A more professional approach is to extend the Flying Star of the house, and map it over this area. More importantly check that there are no imbalances with water at the east. For example, if the sector is already `full' of water element, this is no good. Alternatively if that sector needs more water element, then water outside this area is good. But if the sector needs Fire element to cure an imbalance and you have water, as Water diminises fire, or drown it, this would not be ideal. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Frankly, I believe that this is a relatively `difficult' question to answer: 1. There are relatively few experts (if any) on this subject. Many of the work are in books or literature. 2. Basically, the face can be classified under the Five elements. For example, a sharp face e.g sharp chin, the person can be considered having a `fire' face. A more squarish face represents e.g. the earth element etc... 3. Nowadays plastic surgery can alter the profile or shape of the face. One's face can change from a `fire' element to a more rounded or `metal' element face. 4. This area of `study' is less popular than Feng Shui and like palmistry, is not as popular as Feng Shui…

Dear Anon, Thanks for bring up this interesting question. 1. For a better picture, please refer to: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/5element.htm Please look thru, the TEN HEAVENLY STEMS, where: Fire element can be : Lightning vs Burning incense or Sun vs kitchen Wood element : Timer vs Hewn timber or a small plant For each element there is a `BIG' and `SMALL' 2. One should remember not to over `kill' or under `kill' in Feng Shui. The thing to remember is that each element has a `BIG' and a `SMALL'. For example, 6 coins refers to BIG METAL. It is quite acceptable to use BIG METAL to neutarlise a beam. But if it is e.g. the edge of the corner, do we need such a `BIG' metal as…
