Dear Ritter, `Fixed' template or Feng Shui based on Eight Associations or Life Associations on its own is considered too general to be of specific use. Concepts where one must leave the Romance corner "alone" and enhanced is in my opinion like kindergarden teaching in Feng Shui. What happens if SW is the toilet? Does it mean that one must place flowers on the toilet bowl cover and each time when we use it, remove the flowers. Worse still, can we never have romance since SW is in the toilet? The relation flushed into the toilet each time we have one? In my opinion, the above " concept " does not take into account or personalised to an individual. What happens if everyone s…

Dear Ann, There are two methods of determining the placement of mirrors: 1. The most accurate is based on Flying Star Theory. Here, the house is analysed and the sector where the room (wall) is should not have inauspicious stars. For example if the sector of the room has a #2 Sickness or #5 Misfortune Star, placing a mirror at the location (wall) will double the effect. 2. If one do not want to go further than using such tools, would have to depend on one's personal feelings. If one feels comfortable, then place the mirror. As this is `trial and error' Feng Shui, when one place the mirrors avoid doing other `enhancements'. If it is placed correctly, there is no effect on …

Dear Pun, 1. In Feng Shui, the area of main entrance door should be proportionate to the external wall frontage of the house. If say 4 panels of the glass doors can be opened, there is likelyhood that the main entrance is considered larger than the frontage of the house. 2. Where possible, avoid opening the side of the glass doors which are directly facing the gate. More importantly, the glass door should not be on the straight line as the backdoor or open space. Where Qi would take a straight path out of the house. 3. If so, you may need to consider a screen or a display cabinet that does not have `holes'. 4. If your concern is the front yard gate pillar, then if you use…

Dear Anon, 1. If you are considering the Eight House Theory, usually, it is used to find whether the house is suitable to the breadwinner. 2. Please check your compass direction. If your house is between Compass degree = O degrees to 22.4 degrees; then the house is considered a North house. If the compass reading is between 22.5 degrees to 45 degrees then, the house is a North East House. 3. The Eight House is only an indication as to whether the house is suitable or not suitable for you. Other considerations is required under the Eight House. Such as whether the bedroom you are sleeping is also an auspicious sector. 4. The `battle' of whether the house is auspicious has…

Dear Anon, 1. There are some differences in opinion over this. But the differences are not on Feng Shui but rather based on `beliefs'. 2. The belief is that it is inauspicious to hang a carpet especially if it has been `used' before e.g. stepped on. 3. On the other hand, some find it acceptable to hang carpets. Especially `antique' carpets such as the Famous hand stiched Persian carpets. 4. It is my opinion, that there is really no harm to hang decorative carpets on the wall. They can be treated like any other piece of art. (Especially if they are rare pieces). Where best, if they have red background, ideally they should be hung in the living room or in a `special' room. …

Dear Anon, In my opinion, no, halogen lamps are not considered bad. ONly that it has a higher concentration of lighting even if it gives off heat. Many Feng Shui practioners believe that lighting whether it is from a light bulb or halogen lamp is still considered light. To many artificial light is another source of beneficial Qi. Furthermore, there is no impact from its shape because it is small. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Yes, this is one of the concepts of Shapes and Form School in relation to the interior of the house. The best principle to apply is to see if you can cover the bookself e.g. such as cloth or a cabinet with doors. Here, the concept is: `If you no longer see them, they are no longer a `threat' '. Alternatively, try to see if the bookselves can be shifted so that they do not face you or your body. It also depends on how long you spent `facing' the books. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Julie, 1. It is good to first use the Eight House Theory to look at the house in relation to the breadwinner's suitability to the house e.g. what is the intangible force at the main entrance door or any other alternative main doors. Next look at the intangible force at the main entrance door. 2. Under the Shapes and Form School, since you house has four levels, where best particularly the toilets should not be above such areas as the bedroom, kitchen (especially the cooking stove), living room or above the main entrance door. 3. The optional method is to use the Flying Star Theory (which can be applied to all four floors) to check out auspicious and inauspcious secto…

Dear Joe, Indeed you have asked an interesting question. 1. Very often if one is house `hunting' and go look at houses that are not occupied, when we first step into the house (without first opening the window), when we breathe in the air, some how it is `stale' air. In many cases, after new houses were constructed, when I do the audit, I do feel the above. 2. Here, it is my believe that human Qi is equally important within a house or office for the following reasons:- a. Qi around us can consist of steam, weather, gas and force (atmospheric pressure). b. One unrelated but quite important matter is the moon. For example, high and low tides are attributed to the moons in…

Dear Desma, The first thing we need to know is that Feng Shui is about balance. For small objects or items such as a ring, it really does not matter. I usually apply the 33.3 percent ruleset. Where, if the item is not greater than the above either in mass, volume or area, it does not really matter that much. Furthermore, I believe, the sharp corners of the diamond should not pose any problems. A square diamond ring, can be considered of the `Earth' element if we talk interms of its shape and some would consider that it is derived from the earth, it is thus an Earth element. (Square shape represents Earth element). In some other culture perhaps, I am not sure if square dia…

Dear Anon, 1. A house will not only `show' bad combinations but also a mix of both good and bad combinations. 2. In addition to this, I recently mentioned that even if one has perfect house with excellent Flying star, it also depends on external influences. For example, even if the house has not so good Feng Shui based on say the Flying Star Theory, it also depends on the following:- a. The location where one spents time at. b. The individual's Pillars and Luck Pillars. If these are good for the individual, it changes the luck also. Furthermore, especially if the sector e.g. his/her bedroom are in auspicious sectors. c. Shapes and form is another overriding consideration…

Dear Anon, In my opinion, these two I believe are separate issues. If one believes that there is `tree enegry' than it should be tree energy outside. It should be able to `extend' into the house like that. But high lamps, the higher they are when turned on is regarded as lighting or light energy. As we have read in the forum, lighting is one of the other common Feng Shui `tools' frequently used by Geomancers. To many Geomancers, pictures are also considered `enhancers'. But it is difficult to say how effective they. Usually, the recommendation is something pleasing to the eye. This is quite subjective so, here we treat it of secondary importance (for the moment). The ot…

Dear Anon, 1. Wooden Ceiling beam The advise here is to use 6 `ancient' Chinese coins with square holes tied with red string. Here, Metal is used to destroy wood. 2. Cement ceiling beam Use two bamboo flutes to form the top profile of the Ba Gua symbol:- ____ / \ Here, the wooden bamboo flutes is used to destroy earth (cement) 3. Metal ceiling beam Here you can paint the beam red. As Red represents fire element and is used to destroy or control metal. What we are using is based on the Five Elements `Destructive Cycle'.

Dear Madan, Grateful if you can elaborate further on: 1. Please check what is the inauspicious intangible force at the bedroom. 2. Is the room close to two sectors e.g. such as North and NE or North and NW or is it only located at the North. 3. Please take note that under the Eight House Theory, one should be more concern if one spents most of the time at the location. Rather than if the location is an inauspicious sector. For example, if it is the disaster location and you are sleeping away from it and closer to a less inauspicious sector or an auspicious sector. This is ok. The Eight House works mostly on the priciple that it has to be `activated' by the individual or …

Hello Anonymous, If I may contribute something to this discussion... I was reminded of something I saw the other day. It was a large, thriving liquor business with a rather strange shape. The building was mainly triangular, with a very long, sharp-looking corner aiming across the street. I looked across the street and sure enough, the building directly in the path of this pointing triangle was boarded up and vacant. If that isn't a poison arrow, I don't know what is! Hope this discussion clarifies matters for you. Good luck! :o) --Joe

Dear Anon, I cannot blame you for being so confused as to where to hang Christmas lights after reading here and there. This is because, based on what you wrote, all the understanding is not correct. 1. Grand duke theory states that one should not: a. Touch `him' b. Distrub him. I can in general understand one may consider lights `disturbing' him but it should not be the case. 2. 5 Yellow is based on this Year's Flying Star Chart where south = 5 Yellow. Again, this is based on a general assessment that every household must be careful of 5 Yellow. This `theory' is too general to be applied and is not tailored to the individual. I believe, at this point in time since you ar…

Dear Anon, It is very difficult for me to comment as I really need to see a drawing of it. As an indent can be a large area or narrow etc... This is only to determine whether there is indeed an indent. As for cures, these are limited. For indents there are frankly no `miracle' cures for such `flaws'. Cures differ also if it is a landed property or a flat. For example if it is a landed property, one can do some landscaping to create a profile of the missing corner. Or place a light to brighten up the place. For a flat or apartment, cures are limited to e.g. placing mirrors to `extend' the missing corner. If you can, try to give me a sketch the layout and upload to the for…

Dear Chetan, Thanks for your clarifications. It is good for you to read up on Shapes and Form School Feng Shui. It relates to the positioning of the bed. URL: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/bedroom.htm I believe you should spent sometime going thru the materials on Shapes and Form in the above webpages or get a book on Shapes and Form. This is because, it is more important to take into consideration Shapes and Form and give second priority or be concerned whether your bed should be at north west or south east. Other topics on the website includes the kitchen etc... It is also good for you to look at some of the examples of the eight house at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house…

Dear Tam, 1. For the kitchen, even in Traditional Feng Shui practise, there are many `controversies' relating to the location of the stove. And even confusion over the stove or on the entire Kitchen. 2. One of the reasons is because there is (no where in the house) that has the two water and fire elements `close by'. Please see below:- A. Some practioners say that the Kitchen (plus stove) should be the auspicious sector for the breadwinner. Some say that it should be more important for it to be the auspicious sector for the spouse (who uses the kitchen). It is not wrong for some practioners to say that the stove can be at an inauspicious sector as it burns the inaus…

Dear Linh, Congratulations on your new home and thanks for the detailed description. Based on just the Shapes and Form School in relation to elevation, it is good to have the house slightly higher than its `surrounding'. Therefore based on what you had written, can be considered auspicious. Sometime back, there was an example from a Feng Shui author (I forgot which book) but the author mentioned that it is auspicious to have the car drive up to a higher level. The poor thing was that the car was driven above steps and in the result was that the car had higher repair bills. Some Feng Shui practioners asks some to walk up stairs (symbolic of a raise). I leave it to each …
