Dear Anon, Based on what you had explained, the more common approact is the door which you enter the actual living space and not the door at the ground level before approaching the living space. The rationale is because if one takes the `exterior' door, the compass direction extends outwards and it is hard to pinpoint the main entrance door. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Ever wonder why this lady geomancer never wanted to give explanations in public on the harm teletubbies allegedly bring to children? My guess is it is laughable and not in accordance with fengshui principles. It's pure BS! My children have teletubbies for two years now and they are just fine and doing wonderfully in school. I ain't going to throw out teletubbies just because this person says to do so especially coming from a person who likes to predict the next earthquake but refuses to disclose it until it happens and takes the credit for it.

Dear Anon, Frankly, this is not a traditional cure. I can understand the rationale for using salt to be placed at corners. This practice is done by some "English" priests or astrologers. But lets view it realistically. It is real hard to apply this `cure'. It looks ugly and furthermore, there should be a chemical reaction between copper and salt. It is not advisable to use this combination. If, I am not mistaken, small amounts of electricity could be produced for a short while. (Correct me if I am wrong). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Since you have the inbuilt shoe rack, it should not be a major concern i.e. it is of secondary importance. Where possible, keep the shoe rack clean and once in a while, throw away unwanted shoes. Warmest Regards, Cecil Can I had my enclosed shoe rack in my living room? On top of the rack , I put a vase of roses and a lot of photo frame, can I do that? I cannot remove the rack as it is a built-in rack, is there any way to solve this if the shoe rack is not good to be in the living room? Thanks Dear Anon, Some Feng Shui practitioners advice one not to place a shoe rack immediately outside the main entrance. It is not difficult to guess the reason for it. A…

Dear Anon, If you are applying the Flying Star, do check where the sickness star is located also. Under the Eight House theory, there is really not much one can do other than sleep further away from the death sector (where possible). An optional factor is to use Pillars of Destiny i.e. element strength to fine tune your situation. For example, this would depend on your element and its strength and if you have a partner, to look at both the relationship and one way is to use colours to help balance the situation. It can be the wall colours, the bedsheet or furniture. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Annie, Here are the considerations:- 1. Since you have not mentioned where is the front door, avoid placing the fountain at the right side of the door. I.e if you are standing at the main door and facing out of the house, the fountain should not be on the right side of the house. Usually, the result is `wandering eyes' or illicit affairs e.g. of the husband. 2. If the fountain is small or tiny, its effect is minimal. 3. Can you elaborate about the lamp post? If it can be seen from the window (or tangent or perpendicular to it); this is a poision arrow. To neutralise this, perhaps you can check out the conference: Photo Tours of Interest (with Pictures); Subject: What…

Dear April, 1. The most important consideration is the stove. a. Where possible, the stove should not be under a beam. b. Check that there is (where possible) no water pipe that criss-cross or run along the stove. c. Position the stove with a `support' e.g. a wall. Never place the stove `supported' by a window. d. Where possible let the stove face into the house i.e. facing inside the house (in relation to the main entrance). e. As for the dishwasher, since it is a `water position', it is acceptable to be placed closed to the sink or below the sink. As both are of the water element. There should not be an issue even if it is used. In modern Feng Shui, the main criteria …

Dear Daniel, I don't think it is a good idea to let your car rot since it will make the surrounding chi stale and it might even block the good chi. But then it is just my opinion. Anon

Dear Anon, Usually, the Feng Shui Masters use the I-Ching for prediction. As Feng Shui has limited scope and not a predictive tool. In order to do a computer program, the programmer must be as good or better at feeding it the inputs i.e. garbage in garbage out. Warmest Regards, Cecil

RE: Trigram over a door

Dear Carrie, Thanks for your offer to look into the books. Personally I feel it is not necessary to do so. This is because, traditionally:- 1. A trigram should not be modified but rather based on the First Heaven Sequence Trigram. Ref: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/pakua.htm 2. In my personal opinion, modifying the Ba Gua trigram is a modern invention; perhaps invented by the author him/herself and have no basis in Traditional Feng Shui. 3. For Feng Shui books best to get books written by Traditional Feng Shui authors or if one prefer, 9-Star Ki authors. Where possible not to mix both methods. 4. Try to avoid books written by Black Hat Sect (BTB) authors. Where possible avo…

Dear Anon, 1. For the extension, in order for it to be considered an " extension " of the home, it has to be an enclosed space. Not an open space or `shelter'. 2. It is usually not prudent to add an extension unless it is used to `cover' a missing corner. Avoid a protrusion at the wrong compass direction of the house. If there is a missing corner, one can use instead, landscaping for a landed property. 3. From the many analysis done on houses, the centrepoint should usually be clear space. If not clear space, leaving it or not e.g. using the toilet at all is acceptable. (Not ideal but still better than `using' it). The rationale is because the centrepoint is where all th…

Dear Anon, Please see below:- If the compass direction falls closer to one wall, the mountain star should be placed on this wall. The rationale is that there is a conflict here. The front door should be activated by a water star. e.g. outside the front door, it should be low and clear space. Placing a mountain star inside the front door does not achieve the above purpose i.e. a waste of time and money. In addition, what happens if the solid object falls off and hits the head of someone coming into the main entrance door. Ideally, it should be objects like a paper weight and immovable e.g. without wheels. It can be of any materials e.g. a solid rock object, cr…

Dear Maria and all users, I would sincerely like to point out the `dangers' of Fast Food Feng Shui. I am glad that you asked the question. If one does not know the answer, it is best to check first before `implementing' self-help Feng Shui cures. As I recall, there was this Doctor, who bought books on Feng Shui. He went out to buy a foutain, started to (I believe) read chapter by chapter. At each chapter or what he thought were his element e.g. based on the year of his birth, he found that e.g. he was a Fire element person. He started to paint the main gate with a colour that he though would `enhance' him. Later on, when he used the traditional Pillars of Destiny which an…

Dear Carrie, Please see below:- 1. The Bagua trigram (which includes the Bagua mirror has to be display outside of the house e.g. above a door. 2. As there is another question on the same subject in the next recent forum message, I will touch on it in that message. 3. There is no basis for a Bagua mirror to be placed to enhance a situation if the location it faces is an auspicious location unless to `ward off evil'. A bagua mirror is commonly used for:- 1. To neutralise Sha Qi or poision arrow aimed at e.g. the main entrance door or a window. Here it is place above the main entrance door (at the centrepoint). 2. In Asia, it is very common for Feng Shui practioners wh…

Dear Anon, 1. For the Eight House Template, consider these three main uses: 1.1 To find out if a house is suitable for you. If the “death” or “disaster” line passes through the main door, then according to Eight House Theory, the house is not suitable for you. 1.2 To check which unseen force is affecting your bedroom. 1.3 At work, this theory helps guide you to the best direction to face. These are the main uses of Eight House Theory. Besides these, it has some serious limits. It cannot be used as a cure because it does not use the Five Elements concept. Unlike the Flying Star method, which can find imbalances using the Five Elements and help fix th…

Dear Anon, Under Feng Shui, the Flying Star analysis `superseeds' the Eight House theory. One must first understand what the Eight House Theory is. One purpose is meant that one should spent more time at an auspicious direction. *JOKE* Imagine, if we apply the above theory, that we need to spend more time at an auspicious sector, does it mean that we need to find an excuse for ourselves to go to the toilet. To the extreme, should we create a bookshelf in the toilet etc.. For the East toilet, we should also look at it from a global picture i.e. look at the entire layout plan. For example, it is inauspicious if the toilet is at the East and next to the main entrance door. I…

Dear Anon, 1. The first priority on the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui i.e. the position of the bed. Some important points are: 1. The bed headrest should be against a wall for support. 2. Avoid sleeping with the legs in full view of the bedroom door. 3. Avoid the bed headrest against the window. 2. After having considered above, you can then try to personalise Feng Shui. Is the bedroom exactly at your South West compass point or can you shift it such that it is closer to another compass direction without compromising Para 1. It is best to avoid sleeping at the Southeast as this is inauspicious. If you work 10-11hours and spent less time, in the bedroom, you should …

Dear Anon, Before I elaborate on your question, I like to share with you a little about the Compass School Theory such as the Flying Star theory. In my opinion, I believe that one way of looking at Feng Shui audit lies with the inclination of the Feng Shui practioner. I mentioned in a few forum messages sometime back that some of us are more inclined to being a Left brain while others are Right brained. I mentioned `inclined' because unlike the continuum of Hot and Cold, most of us are somewhere in the `middle'. We are not totally `left' or `right'. Some of us are more artistic, spatial etc.. On the other end, others are `logical', enjoys mathematics etc... To a certain …

Dear Anon, In the past, particularly in China, the best sites were chosen for a city e.g. Canton, Fujian etc... In this case there is not much choice to have houses built near to a volcano. One way to see it is to apply the 33 percent ruleset. The roof is so tiny and it is not going to affect the environment. Even if it is red colour. Rather, it is the threat of the volcano that can change things. Look at it this way, if the volcano is going to erupt, it will with or without the red roof Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Daniel, I strongly encourage everyone to first grasp the fundamental principles of Feng Shui. When discussing two main doors, we are focusing solely on the 'end result' rather than the underlying causes of the situation. It is essential to comprehend the root of the matter; initially, the number of main doors—whether two or three—is not the primary concern. In 'proper' Feng Shui, if a house has two doors, it is advisable to conduct a Feng Shui audit to explore the scenarios associated with using Door A versus Door B. If one door is found to be more auspicious than the other, it is preferable to utilize that door more frequently for our own purposes. Our con…

Dear Daniel, I am glad that you brought up your viewpoints. What you have mentioned in general is what some Feng Shui practioners practise: " Generalised Feng Shui ". One good thing about generalised Feng Shui is that one do not need to explain and analyse Feng Shui based on e.g. The Five Elements relationship. It is so easy to `preach' Feng Shui based on our feelings and to be on the safe side, use a fixed template. Anyone can practise such Feng Shui in hours. Each of us can write a book based on our experiences. To speed up things, one person writes about the Career Sector in the North. Invert the template for the South and this becomes a sensational book on Feng Shui f…
