Dear Anon, Potentially all long corridors have `difficult' Qi flows especially if they are narrow. Usually, if the corridor is reasonably large, plants are used (spaced out) along each side of the corridor. It can be alternated. But in a narrow corridor, some have used pictures or even a display shelf at the end of the corridor. For a toilet, it is best to close the toilet door when not in use and not leave it open. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, In order to understand `better', I like to share with you the fact that in the past, Chinese usually avoid having a toilet in the house! Here, there is totally no toilet at all. Hopes the above `answers' your question. For those who love water or long baths, it is not so good news. In my opinion, where possible the toilet bowl should not be at the true compass points i.e. at every 15 degree increments as this is based on the Flying Star 24 directions. The reason is because, if it so happen to be at an auspicious sector, this is not `so good.' Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. The `squeak' has more to do with `beliefs' than Feng Shui. 2. As for the door that does not close properly or difficult to close, it moves closer to Feng Shui and `commonsense approach'. 3. It is best that such as important thing like the main door not being able to close properly is best fixed as soon as possible. 4. As for commonsense approach, if the door is such that it can easily be opened by a burglar, than fix it fast. 5. In some situations where the Flying Star Analysis recommends that a sector has to be `kept quiet' do invest in a can of " WD40 oil". Warmest Regards, Cecil Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Grateful if you can describe in greater detail as I still not sure what u mean i.e. do you mean that as you enter the main door, there are two walls on each side like a larger main door within the house? Thanks. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear cecil, The pakua mirror I am using is not convex mirror. It is the regular pakua mirror with the early heaven sequence and it comes with a hook attached to it so people wont hang it incorrectly. The poison arrow facing the main door is the neighbors roof and it points directly at my main door almost slicing it. I am not allowed to do anything else since it is rented property but I am allowed to use 1 nail so i used it to hang the pakua. Thanks.

Dear Anon, Yes, some practioners consider this a poison arrow especially if it is above the bedroom door. The result is that it will affect the marriage e.g. separation or divorce. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Other methods include hanging beaded curtains. Or have a side table and placing a lamp on it if say the bed is facing the door of both rooms. 2. Alternatively, place a linen cupboard i.e. it can be a low one inside one of the rooms. The above are the best alternatives. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, I believe your statement is true. I have not fully researched into this aspect but I have do remember coming across a variety of dragons. Cannot really remember off-hand if there are at least 13 but this figure sounds reasonable enough. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, This question covers quite a "wide angle" or a range of thinking and practise: 1. If you have seen the picture of the house I described under http://www.geomancy.net/fs/grandpa1.htm One will see that the original house looks like it has a " head " i.e. the Ba Gua shaped frontage of the house. A closer look and one will notice the body of the house. Locally, some older houses are of this type of shape while others are not. 2. Some older houses in Singapore has a toilet at the North (true compass direction) , a Ba Gua shaped roof at the South (also true compass direction) of the House. 3. Some houses neither conform to the above. 4. Here, there are as many think…

Dear Jane, Unfortunately, this is not directly related to Feng Shui although theories such as Flying Star can help to pinpoint the location related to such influences. It is best that you try to explain to your daughter and not to say too much to the neighbour. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, A picture on such situations would be nice. In general, this is not an ideal situation if the door is right `next' to the main entrance. Another way to look at is whether the frontage can still receive sufficient lighting or is there a constant shadow over the main entrance. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, As each situation differs, one must be physically at the site to access individually. It is very hard to give a general statement for such situations. I hope you understand that it is thus difficult for me to comment on. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. This concept applies more to homes than to apartments. 2. If you are a worried wife, you can sigh in relief:) But there are differences in opinion here. In my opinion, it should come under Para 1. But do not add to this by placing a water position at this location within the apartment. Here, one can try and let the members here know if it is really true. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, One can use lighting or lights to enhance the Qi. But what you have mentioned is in my opinion not practical. 1. The best lighting is during the day it is best to natural lighting. In a home, it is best to allow rays of natural sun light to filter into the house. 2. I am not sure how one can implement the proposal of turning on the lighting e.g. purple or red all the time. 24 hours? In my opinion, it is just like the story of someone who was asked to drive his car over a set of steps everyday he returns home. Is this practical? not withstanding the question of whether it will work or not. On one hand, the power supply company would be most happy to hear of th…

Dear Anon, For fishes, more importantly is the number of fishes kept. Here, there are three common methods:- 1. Based on one's Gua number or or 2. The element of the breadwinner. Here each element has a number. or 3. Some prefer 8 or 9 fishes. Another important point is to avoid using pyramid shaped fish tank. Some of the koi species have red and black markings. These are acceptable. Here, one can add a few other species such as `Tancho' e.g. with a circular patch on its forehead... In my opinion, the red and black markings is no issue. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Sorry can you further elaborate on what you are asking as I not too sure what you are trying to say. 2. If a bedroom is `odd shaped' one can use built in cabinets to create a `room' that is of a `better' shape e.g. a rectangular shaped room instead. An odd shaped room is no good for a couple's marriage. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, This has more to do with Chinese beliefs than Feng Shui. There is therefore differences of opinion between those who choose to keep the birds caged and those who are against it. Keeping even a pair of live birds is to some Chinese, not a good thing because, it signifies cruelty i.e. akin to imprisoning the birds. The belief is that birds should be `born free'.

Dear Anon, 1. This depends on whether the main door is facing your auspicious direction. For example, if the slant is facing your Prosperity sector, this is better than say changing the door to it's original position if the door faces one of your inauspicious sectors. 2. The above is one of the techniques some FS practioners use to re-orientate the main door to an auspicious sector. 3. Some FS practioners even go to the extent of advising all their clients to slant their door if it happens to be facing NE (Devil's gate). Some go further and ask their clients to change the door if it also faces SW (Devil's backdoor). Here it depends and this should be looked into inconjun…

Dear Anon, 1. You do have an interesting point. 2. Since this is "thought provoking" anyone wants to make a guess before, I make my comments? Ladies and Gentlemen, put on your thinking caps:) 3. It would be interesting to hear who has the "most logical" answer to your question. 4. On another issue, I was toying with this idea:- Since this present forum will be 1 year old on the last day of 1999; I was thinking of e.g. issuing a special commemorative Millenium Certificate from Geomancy.Net to e.g. the Top Ten users of this forum &/or the Top Five message posters (other than Robert and myself). If anyone have any feedback or suggestions, please login to the forum and po…

Dear Elena, You have brought up an interesting question. 1. Feng Shui cannot be done by `remote control'. 2. One has to stay in the building/house in order to reap the benefits of the luck `made' under the building/house. 3. If the new house also is `good' and brings one luck, one can still be able to retain the previous (lucky) house and continue to prosper. 4. When the house `brings' a person `luck' avoid making major renovations. 5. The reason is because the house chart period may change e.g. Period 6 house becomes a Period 7 house and may change the `luck' of the house. 6. Someone else who occupies the house may not get the same luck as the `owners' because the house …

Dear Anon, I am not sure if anyone have heard of the Show `Kung Fu' starring David Carradine (I hope I spent his name correctly). In this show, or a series of TV episodes, he is also called the `grass hopper'. In one episode, he had to use his arm to hold up the buring cauldron. When he did this, his left hand was burned with the profile of the dragon and his right arm the profile of a tiger. Usually, these `monks' wear a robe and the markings of the dragon and tiger are not shown. For a dragon ring, it is in my opinion a small object and secondly it usually does not point towards the person. Anyway, it does not really matter being a small object. Looking at it another…

Dear Anon, There are two ways to `decide' whether one should place a decorative mirror. 1. If one does not want to have anything to do with Feng Shui or Feng Shui advise. Then go with one's own feeling. In addition, if there are no effects on one after the lacement of the mirror i.e. hanging on the wall or using a glass/mirror table, then continue to do so. 2. But if one wants to find out further, do an analysis using tools like the Eight House to check the suitablity of the breadwinner's intangible force at that sector. Use the Flying Star to check whether the location is auspicious or not. Where possible if the wall (location) is inauspicious, avoid placing the mirror …

Dear Anon, This would not be a real issue: 1. It is not like the windows slide and causing a `knife' like effect. Even if assuming it does, it cuts harmlessly towards the wall. One should therefore not consider the slidding effect as similar to a poison arrow. It is not. Warmest Regards, Cecil
