Dear Anon, 1. This is an interesting question. 2. I have heard both sides of the `story'. Some practioners say that both sides of the main entrance door must have equal panels. While others mentioned that the door panel can be unequal. 3. So far, based on what I have observed:- a. Most (or all doors) on traditional Chinese buildings be it a temple, a very old house/building or landmark has doors that are of equal dimensions. b. Singapore Housing board flats have a `main door' and grille gate where it fits your description. I know that the Housing Board flats where 90 percent of Singaporean stays have their main doors that conform to Feng Shui ruler good dimensions. Nowada…

Dear Anon, 1. I believe it also depends on the country we live in. Here, locally (in Singapore) and around the region, plants can strive inside the house. It also depends on the type of plants used. In some locations, I believe that it is difficult for plants to grow or subsequently may die. 2. We tend to use the plants as a cross check on a location. Here, it is used as an `indicator' rather as a clear indication that the location maybe inauspicious. One can use Feng Shui tools like Flying Star to counter-check whether the location is inauspicious or not. 3. For offsite audits especially for those who are facing hardships or financial problems, sometimes, I do ask the …

Dear Anon, The Flying Star theory can usually tell that #2 is the sickness star. More investigative work need to be `carried' out and other Geomancy theories would be required e.g. Pillars can analyse a person's element components and even `predict' which part of the body, one would most likely have health problems with. Other causes would also be where a person stays in a house with underground water directly below or near to e.g the bed. If one does not live in a landed property, this would not likely be the `cause'. There are other disciplines that can be used to cross reference the above but currently, they are not directly related to Feng Shui so not followed up. Wa…

Dear Anon, No, one should avoid activating the mountain star at the front or at the main door. The point here to remember that activating a mountain star at the main door, the front or the living room is like `placing' a moutain at our `eyes'. We have to remember that the frontage is best to have clear space or a bird flying freely. The same concept applies in our living room. The mountain star (if there is one) is to activate e.g. inside a wall in a bedroom or at the back door area. The concept of mountain (solid backing) and the water (clear space) in front is what it all means. Warmest Regards, Cecil

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. The most common method is to tie the coins through the centre square hole where all six coins overlap each other either in a single row or a `circular' formation. 2. What I have done (as shown in the Conference: Photo Tours) is another method where the three coins x 2 sets spread are spread over a Red Packet (or Red Paper). 3. You can still bind the coins by placing them on top of each other. This is not the norm but symbolically, they are still 6 coins. 4. Some cautious Feng Shui practioners may if they are too ingrained in using the coins as mentioned under Para 1. But usually, your method should work the same way, unless you do not use 6 coins. Warmest R…

Dear Anon, So far, I not come across any FS practioner use a paper dragon to neutralize the poison arrow. One reason is because objects are easier to use i.e. and can easily be shifted to point to the poison arrow. But do becareful if one is using a dragon because, it should not be in the path of `movement' in the home e.g. placed on a table and aims through the living room to the poison arrow. It has to be placed in such away, that it is nearest e.g. the window (where movement along this line is `rare'). In my personal opinion, as mentioned above, I have yet to come across anyone who uses a paper dragon. Therefore cannot truly comment on its `effectiveness'. Warmest Re…

Dear Anon, Frankly, I am not too sure about the name of the plant. So far, the plant continues to have flower buds and as soon as one set of flowers `die', the new set of flowers bloom all year round. Warmest Regards, Cecil

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 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 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, 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 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 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 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, 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 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 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 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…

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 Chris, The stars are identified by the use of Flying Star theory. Based on the formula and calculation, a base star, the mountain & water star will be worked out. Thus, the main door direction is needed. Once the details are worked out, the analysis for each sector can than be deduced. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

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 …
