Dear Sandra, Since you cannot do much in terms of furniture layout, you can consider placing a display small dragon (can be made of glass or other materials) to aim it directly at the edge (or tangent) to the edge of the cabinet. This is a mild form of cure. Other alternatives include placing a fork aimed at the edge or a small toy cannon. I believe you should be able to place e.g. the dragon on the edge of the table such that it can be aimed at the edge and not aimed at your body. I hope this is achievable. If you are unable to have a straight path between e.g. the dragon and the edge of the cabinet, then, it is best not to place one on the table. (If it can `hit' you.)…

Dear AA, There are certain things in life you cant demand. Love is one of them. If you are destined to find love now or in 2000 depends on your heaven luck. I know you have tried every thing possible to find one (that is your man luck). So why don't you do a pillar of destiny chart and see what is in store for you now and also in 2000 and then if they are favorable then you will find love. Good luck. Anon

Dear Elena, Grateful, if you can clarify: 1. "My front door opens to a wall". Does it mean that there is a small open space outside your front entrance area. Where is the fish tank going to be placed in relation to the door. 2. What is the shape of the fish tank. 3. Does it exceed 33.3 percent of the study room area or just small tank. 4. Can you let me have the flying star numbers for the main entrance and the study room. 5. Where best, the breadwinner should not have the element: strong water or weak fire element. 6. If you are standing at the main entrance, looking outside, the fish tank should not be at the right side of house. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Lisa, This is the " tricky " part in Feng Shui. Under the Compass School of Feng Shui especially the Flying Star theory, the traditional method is to find or locate the `exact' compass degree of the main entrance. Once you have determined the exact compass degree, you then relate it to the `birth date' of the house or if a major renovation has been done, relate it to this. Next, a chart based on the `birth date' of the house and the direction of the main entrance door is drawn based on Flying Star calculations. You will notice that the above is the first step. Once all the flying stars have plotted, next you analyse the house based on the locations and an…

Dear David, It is best to read up on Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui also. You can either read up the resources on thie website or any other books written by Traditional Feng Shui practioners on this subject. As you mentioned, it will help you to understand the exterior of your home e.g. the site where the house is on. If you are using the Eight House Analysis, make sure that you use a compass to find the North to South direction of your house and then superimpose the Eight House template onto your house layout plan. Follow the instructions provided under http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm If I am not mistaken, you mentioned the `Fixed' template format. Where you l…

Dear Berth, It is best to attach a graphic file under the conference: " Conference for Attaching Layout " as this is easier to look and understand your situation. By the way, you mentioned that the `west' wall has an entrance but no doors. Does it mean that your bedroom does not have any doors. Thanks and looking forward to your layout sketch of the bedroom. Cecil

Dear Cheui May, 1. 1. As you mentioned, you should use curtains on the large sliding glass back door. 2. Is there a way to place two potted plants on both sides of the steps or at the landing area? 3. Can you draw a simple sketch of the triangle-shaped area or the room you are using now? It is best if the bedroom, kitchen, and living room do not have an odd shape. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sandra, Usually, the main entrance door is the door: 1. Where you have your unit number on. 2. It can also be the door you frequently use. In your case, since you use the door at the "East facing" frequently, this should be considered your main entrance door. What you can do is to check which door is more auspicious to you. The east facing or the North door. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Usually, the "sunken" part or the lower level can be the living room. Quite often, many houses have `split-levels where there are steps leading up to the dining room. Here, it is acceptable for the living room to be at the lower level. Usually, this lower level is level to the house exterior or slightly raised up. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, There are differing views on this: 1. Some FS practioners find it inauspicious to have the face of the clock face into the living room. Here, it is similar to the concept where it is advisable not to have a clock `face out' of the living room window. It is acceptable if the clock is `meant' to bounce an inauspicious poison arrow. 2. As a clock tower is a narrow tower, and if in a child's room, it is located on the right side of the window, this is considered "penmanship" peak where it is auspicious as this represents a child can become a scholar. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sandra, There are two issues here: 1. A mirror facing a window. 2. Whether the wall or the location around the wall is auspicious or inauspicous. Usually, it is best not to have a mirror facing a window. But this depends on how far away the mirror is. The rationale behind this is that if this is the frontage of your house, it is best to allow natural lighting flow into the house. If there are poison arrows outside the house, it would most likely reflect into the house onto the mirror and cause `twice' the problem as a mirror image has been created within the house. If it happens to be an inauspicious sector under Flying Star analysis, you will bounce back twice the `…

Dear Anon, Please see below:- This is the same concept as a full height screen. Some practioners would advise the use of a wind chime in between the two doors. However, one should get proper consultations before placing a wind chime. (Especially if one is placing at the NE, NW and West) locations of the house. A hanging mobile or crystal is not advised. This is because in my opinion, I personally see no rationale for the use of a crystal or a hanging mobile. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mercury, Please do a SEARCH for fish tank. I believe, there are numerous references in this forum where I had provided advice on what to look out for -- a fish tank. You should not have a problem finding or reading in detail what are the do's and don'ts here. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please take note that a mountain star must be an immovable object. The globe should not rotate even if it has a `stable' base holder. It is good to `visualise' that ideally it has to be a solid immovable object. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Here, there are several view-points: 1. Some Feng Shui practioners will `insist' that one should use an immovable object rather than a picture. 2. Some Feng Shui practioners will advise you that one can hang pictures but watch what you hang. Under para 2, the advise is to hang a picture of a mountain scene. Excellent examples are: a picture of Mount Fuji in Japan or the Himalayas. Scenes such as this. Where best, avoid pictures of water scenes such as fountain, fishes swimming. Other alternatives are calligraphy works or pictures of Chinese paintings with a backdrop of a mountain / village scene are acceptable. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Michael, Since you mentioned that almost the entire house has overhead beams; it is thus impractical to place `cures' at all beams, in your situation, you can:- 1. Above the bed location, use 6 ancient Chinese coins tied to a beam. Here, the 6 coins can be used on only one beam to symbollically cover 3 beams. Therefore, you do not need to place 6 ancient Chinese coins at every beam but one immediately above the bed. 2. Using the above guideline, you can place 6 coins at certain locations that you or your family frequent. For example if the sofa set happens to be directly below a beam, than place one set of 6 coins. 3. Where possible confine placing the coins only e.…

Dear Anon, Yes, this is the case. For example, at the main entrance area, where one can activate the water star, i.e. clear space in-front. One cannot possible activate a mountain star at this location. The logic is the same e.g. in the living room where one should not activate a mountain star. If there is a wall and a mountain star is `available' one cannot activate a mountain star and a water star. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Since you have the alternative method, and since the date of birth is available, why don't you check it out for yourself. If I am not mistaken, it should also come to the same `Li' or South trigram. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- The best `cure' is to see if you can have a screen behind your bedroom door or place a linen cupboard before entering the door. A potted plant can be used but in my opinion less effective for a `C' configuration. However, you can try to see if can help. As you can always remove the plant afterwards. Another method is to place a semi-circular mat facing away from the bedroom door and `cutting' or `slicing' the steps of the staircase leading to the room. Do try the above out. Warmest Regards, Cecil

I am a strong fire element with my main entrance and garage on the west which is my death line. My house is at the dead end of the street with the road lead straight to the garage. In addition it has a back door in line with the garage leading out the back yard. Main master bedroom is at a bad location above the garage. I also have my water sprinklers running under the house. I have expose beams running inside the house which I've cured with a flute. I have a poison arrow pointing my front door which I will hang a pakua and a semi circle carpet.I also have a street lamp I can see from the front door.Can you help me find a cure for them. Can you also let me know should I i…

Dear Anon, Based on symbolism in Feng Shui, in my opinion, boxed beds are not considered `inauspicious': 1. It is still considered a `whole' bed i.e. it is not spilt up ned together (two single bed). Not "split up" even if it has two layers. 2. There should not be an issue on whether the bed should have a gap below it. This is because in many countires e.g. Japan, usually sleep even on tatami mats on the floor. 3. It is good to have paqua flooring or "wooden" flooring. This is because ceramic tiles or marble etc.. is `cold' to the feet. 4. Some worry that because of springs in the box beds, this is considered inauspicious. But, I personally believe that there should not b…

Dear Kamariah, Since you are in Malaysia, it is easier for you to find a Feng Shui consultant as I believe there are quite alot in the country. Here, you can get the consultant to provide you a package fee i.e. from helping you to select a plot of land and to do a full Feng Shui audit on the selected unit. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Toilet in the wealth area
by Guest-

Dear Carrie, Under the Eight House Theory, as the compass directiors are sub-divided into 8 sectors, it is best that the toilet bowl is not located directly at the exact South-East compass degree. Under the Flying Star Theory, the compass directions are sub-divided into 24 directions. Again, it is best that the toilet bowl does not fall within any of the compass 15 degree increments starting from 0 degrees, 15 degrees, 30 degrees.. etc... There are two viewpoints with regards to the toilet:- 1. Majority of the practioners felt that this is a `Yin' location. 2. Some view it as a location where water `exists' in a house. And water is akin to a waterposition in the house. U…

Dear Carrie, 1. Ideally, a staircase ought to feature a turning or landing. If I am not mistaken, I observed a straight staircase in one of the layout plans shared in "Audit for Financial/Hardship Cases Only). 2. Should there be a landing on the staircase, some Feng Shui Masters recommend placing a mirror at the landing to deflect Qi upwards. This is optional and not mandatory. 3. Ideally, the stairs should not be positioned at the center of the house. If it is unavoidable, consider placing potted plants at ground level on each side of the stairway. If the stairs are attached to one wall, a plant can be positioned on one side. This is also not obligatory, a…
