Dear Anon, 1. Can you elaborate what you mean by `a poison arrow near the main door'. 2. A poison arrow has to be aimed at the door and not just (missed or) near the main door. 3.The best test is to stand at the main door, looking outside. If the poison arrow does not aim at the main door, it no longer becomes a poison arrow. 4. Depending on the angle or type of poison arrows, I have given advise to use a few different alternative methods: - Either a semi-circular carpet radiating outwards of the main door, - Two plants on both sides of the main door (for e.g. a lone lampost slicing the centrepoint of the house). I called this the `Triangle effect.' These are the two comm…

Dear Anon, 1. The `concern' here is not a poision arrow i.e. sharp corners aimed at your living room window, but rather the garbage dumpster. 2. It depends on the lighting filtering from the living room. One can either use `opaque' film or use curtains or if the smell is foul, close some of the windows. 3. A Ba gua mirror is meant for a. Some FS practitioners with religious inclinations may advise using it to protect against evil. b. While some FS practitiioners, advise the use of it to deflect Sha Qi or poison arrow. If you an see, your living room window or exterior does not `qualify' for either 3a. or 3b. Therefore, my advise is under Para 2. (unless, there is indeed a…

[This message refers to the message posted under Photo Tours with Interest: Chinese Astrology: The metal Dragon or Golden Dragon. This conference attachments can only be viewed by logging into the web forum only.] Extract of a paragraph of the message: "Five tones and six colours should be the way to brighten your house during Chinese New Year, says Mr Tan P K, one of Singapore's flora bosses." Here, if I understand correctly he mentions about colours of the rainbow to brighten the home i.e. within each six colours, the flowers can be of different shades of that colour. What he wants achieved is to brighten the home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, There is too little information to be able to assist you. There could be imbalances in your house that is not cured. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Yes, there is such a thing as an auspicious or inauspicious direction of travel. This is based on the five elements concept and time dimensions of Feng Shui. For example even the Chinese Luopan can be used to check on this. By reading off the Chinese Luopan, one can check if the direction one should travel is auspicious or inauspicious. There will be a module on this site later this year on this. Please note that we should not go to the extend of looking at travel to mean travelling from home to office or for shopping. Travelling a few kilometres or simply travelling on a road to use such a theory. Travelling on a road, we do not have control over the directi…

Dear Anon, The traditional cure for #2 (sickness/earth) and #5 (misfortune/earth) is the use of the 6 coins tied with a red string. (strong metal). A blowing fan can do the job but it has to be a metal fan. (representing metal and replacing the 6 coins). But this is not a traditional cure. Use if if you want to but no guarantees of how effective it is. Nowadays, most fans no longer are made entirely of metal so not advisable to replace this entirely with 6 coins. Can I ask you how are you so sure of your wealth sector. In what way did do you determine your wealth sector? Under Flying Star, near equvalent of wealth sectors are the very auspicious sectors. But this or usua…

Dear Anon, Usually from the frontage of the house, both sides (left and right) should be balanced. So far, I seldom have ever come across a house where (from the frontage) it looks unbalanced at either side unless it is a large building. If so, this should not be a factor. It is not correct to say that the tiger side gets `stronger' than the dragon side. The only factor is that it is ideal condition if the dragon and tiger embrance i.e. Dragon is usually taller and tiger shorter. It can be a hill or landmark (true dragon /tiger) or a false dragon or tiger such such a road etc... Usually, the shape and form of a building should be "whole" and not of odd shape especially i…

Dear Ang Chye, Upon reviewing your message, I would like to inquire about your reasons for wanting to hang a Wind Chime. Is it solely due to the presence of star 5 in the year 2000? Or is it because the imbalance of Star 5 in that particular sector necessitates the use of a Wind Chime as a remedy? Personally, there are more effective cures available than using a Wind Chime, which can often come with complications such as varying element types of rods, different rod numbers, and hollow or solid rods. Additionally, incorrect placement of a Wind Chime may lead to more issues rather than resolving the existing problem. It is advisable to only apply a cure if you are certain…

Dear Anon, Rulers belong to another `school' of Feng Shui or Imperial carpentry. There are rulers for the dead (Yin) and rulers (Yang) or living. Many modern rulers or tape measures sold have both these two measurements on it. There is a sample at: www.geomancy.net/fs/ruler.htm The problem here is that if one finds in the market now, there are more than four different versions of the ruler (based on various different methods to derive the auspicious sectors on the ruler. In terms of importance, what is worse? Not to cure the imbalance or even if the measurements are not considered inauspicious? Priorty should go to curing the imbalance. Usually measurements are more cruci…

Dear Anon, 1. One way to look at it is that if no longer can be seen it no longer becomes a `threat'. 2. This statement can apply to the cards that you carry. If it cannot be seen, it no longer becomes a `threat'. 3. For example, between carrying inauspicious cards or carrying a briefcase of auspicious length, it matters more if one carries a briefcase of good measurements. 4. If I am not mistaken the standard Imperial foot sized brief case used to hold documents has auspicious measurements:) 5. Another thing is that it we live in a practical world. Not all furniture are tailor made for us. So, we may have to made do with what is available or sold in standard lengths. 6. …

Dear Anon, 1. It should not be a problem to keep an object in the garden or pond so long as it does not have an open mouth aimed towards the house. 2. An open mouth signifies, hunger. It would cause illness or problems for the household that it faces. 3. Where possible, the object should not be ambigious or unusal shape e.g. like a `monster' or other unknown figurine. 4. Otherwise, it is acceptable. Unless, it is again, the favourite of the four legged friends (who pass urine over it). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, I like your `new cure':) *Joke* So far, I believe no one has fully tested or tested using a mini tiger. Frankly, I have never `experimented' with a mini tiger, so cannot say for sure if it will work. Honestly, I am not sure. Do exercise caution: A tiger is a Yin animal as opposed to the Dragon (particularly the five claw dragon) which is considered the most Yang of all animals. This may upset your use of mini tigers. Majority of the time, the cure is to use Yang elements instead of adding or "accidently" increase the Yin elements. It is best not to reinvent the wheel or this round use what you can find. The added problem is if either the main door or direct opp…

Dear Angela, 1. Frankly, at a macro level, there should not be an issue on the design of an air regulator `based' on Feng Shui principles. 2. More importantly, it is the product and the shape is designed on the practical aspects of both incorporating it and how easily and cost effectively it can be produced / moulded. 3. For example, a split airconditionering looks almost the same for all models. Rectangular in shape, with removal filters. Air is circulated through the vents at the lower panels. 4. The only Feng Shui consideration is to avoid, where possible posion arrows e.g. sharp cornered objects. Where possible, edges should be rounded. Point no. 4 is the most importa…

Dear Maria, 1. The Eight House Theory is but only one of the Feng Shui theories. It is meant to find how suitable one is to the house and where possible, sleep in one of a individual's good sectors. Beside this, it is good to face a good direction e.g. especially for study and work. 2. It is `not ideal' to have the above, if the house does not conform to proper Shapes and Form. For more on Shapes and Form, there are either many books around to understand the concepts or you can go thru the materials under My Resources (Resources & Articles) on this site. 3. Use the Flying Star analysis to chart out the birth chart of the house. Here, this analysis is to check for any …

Dear Carrie, Accounting, book-keeping, banking and petty cash is related to the Metal element. In the past, this has more to do with the coins and as coins or `gold' are metal, such occupations are broadly classified under the metal element. There is a module on www.geomancy-online.com on occupation. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Cecil, We moved into our new house last April. Two month after, the house across the street was completed with a two-door garage which is on the left side of the that house and has a point roof directly pointed to our front door. I just read a Feng Shui book and learned that roof is so called "Poisoned Arrow". Please help us to know what we should do. Many thanks, Jim

Dear Cecil So glad M Luther asked this question - I've been wondering how macro or micro one should go in analysing the elements in a career. Do you look at e.g. the type of industry the company is in, i.e. manufacturing = water? Within that company, there is likely to be many departments, so you could end up in H.R. (earth), marketing (fire) etc. etc. The manufacturing company may very well produce a product molded of hard polycarbonate plastic (metal). When you want to find the correct career element to prosper or enhance your own element, do you need to look at all the above factors? Kind regards Toni

Accountancy is of the metal element. I personally would consider cartooning to be a form of Art and hence of the water element. Glyn

Dear Ellen, 1. Personally, many years back when I first started on Feng Shui, I was equally concerned about how well the carpet and the flooring `matches' the breadwinner's Ba Zhi or element and its strength. 2. Here, I would try to relate the flooring + breadwinner's Ba Zhi in relation to the Five elements concept. 3. If you were to asked me today, how I feel about it, I would say that, my thinking has been `altered'. 4. Not so much because, I have changed my mind but rather, instead of looking at flooring under the Five Elements concept, look at it more on the Yin and Yang perspective. 5. Unde the Five elements concept, I would `crack' my brains trying to see if there …

Dear Anon, Thanks for bring up this interesting question. I was wondering whether anyone would `spot' this and bring it up. As far, as I am aware, the most important considerations is to choose the date for the piling or symbolic start of the work. So far, I have yet to come across a single case of problems relating to offending the Grand Duke. Some may question the validity of the Grand Duke. But it is better to be on the cautious side. If one wants to ask me for the rationale why I believe that there is no problem for a new house is, if one believes in the Grand Duke Theory, the main thing that the Grand Duke has not resided in the home as yet i.e. he has not been `invi…

Dear Toni, Presently, it is my belief that the two elements that one should be concerned are: 1. Water Water signifies "difficulty" in the I-Ching. Usually water at the centre of the house would pose a problem. 2. Fire (real fire) as in a fire place is the second thing to take note of. The second part is less of a concern than water but more study should be done on this area. Other than that, having a linen cupboard is the lesser of the two `evils'. I believe that this is of less concern. Warmest Regards, Cecil
