Dear Alice, Please see below:- Frankly, this is a "hot" topic. It is best that you make a little effort to exercise your fingers by doing a SEARCH in this forum. I am very sure that you should be able to find the various replies on this topic. For example, why not try SEARCHING for " PERIOD 8". Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. If one has the time, one should understand this time-tested approach. And it originated from the medical field:- Feng Shui Triage Proper trouble-shooting is required. 2. Many other disciplines also have to apply this. 3. In a recent posting; one can see two worked Feng Shui charts. And often "no pain - no gain". 3.1. Often, a chart takes as much as4 hours to prepare, evaluate and provide recommendations. Be it a DIYer or a professional studying and working out the colour details. http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=19&mid=35094&new= 4. The other wayis via another time testedby instincts: if one wants to dispense with the above then…

hi, If the main door is facing East is consider as west group house,hence should be suitable for west group kua. But i'm confuse for e.g kua number 6, main door face east is facing five Ghosts(wu gui) which is no good. So is main door face east good for kua number 6? Thanks

1. Please note that many of the concepts umder the Eight House are considered "Nice-to-have" (NTH) and not a "Must-have" (MH). 2. Under this concept:- First Choice:It is NTH a person "placed" in a good sector of a home. And it is even better if the person can say study facing their good direction. 3. One has to be realistic, if - especially because of the layout of the room, one cannot sit and study facing one's good direction: this is considered as "JTB". 4. What is JTB? Just too bad! (full stop) There is nothing else under this concept that can be used or worked. Apply other concepts like: harmonising her bedroom with her ba zi colours, checking the Flying Stars .…

1. Fundamentally, here, you are applying the Eight House theory. 2. As many of us are aware, the Eight House theory looks at how suitable the house is to the owner(s). 3. In addition, if we have several homes to decide upon, which is better, the other common approach is to perhaps determine, between these homes, which sectors are good or bad vs the other homes. 4. For example, home 1: main door (inauspicious) 2. living room (inauspicious) sector, toilet at husband's prosperity sector; we then compare home 2; home 3 against home 1 to see which home is better. 5. Other than the above, we have to use other methods : Shapes and forms and Flying star Feng Shui, to determ…

Dear Cecil, Thank you for your most informative feedback. I have to admit, I have visited Lillian Too's website a few times and noticed that she now has a "FS jewelry" being sold online. I was flabbergasted when I saw that. I immediately questioned her integrity. FS jewelries, of all things.......what's next, FS make-up or FS nail polish line? What color would give you luck on a job interview????? Anyway, I will look into the books/authors you mentioned. Thank you again very much and hope you continue to share proper information.

Dear Wendy, Based on Feng Shui guidelines, there is a difference between `building' a house and finding a good date or year to build a house. Let me elaborate: You can usually find a good date in the year 2000 as there are 365 days in a year and even if it is in December 1999, you can still find a good date the next year. Another point is that Chinese New Year does not follow the English New year. For those who are very new to Feng Shui, please take note that when we discuss Chinese New Year, in short it is CNY or for this year Earth-Rabbit, Chinese New Year is from 16 Feb 1999 to 4 Feb 2000. Here you will notice that Chinese New Year 1999 only ends on 4th February 2000. …

Dear Anon, If one has both a wet and dry kitchen: 1. Where possible, in both instances, the stove should not also "clash" especially with the wash-basin. 2. Where possible, the stove in the dry kitchen should match the lady of the house's ba zi direction. 3. For the outside kitchen, it would be good if the stove match also Para 2. But not as crucial. 4. For the stove in the wet kitchen or usually "open air" area, it should be kept away from "gusts" of wind. Where possible, both stove must be supported by a solid wall or backing. 5. Avoid placing any of the stove along the NW compass direction of the home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Berna, I cannot `blame' you for being confused with so many " Types " of Feng Shui. Especially since, there are lots of sites nowadays using Black Hat Sect " stuffs ". In my opinion, any other `styles' are much better than applying Black Hat Sect. In Traditional Feng Shui there are principally two major schools- a. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui b. Compass School (Such as Flying Star and Eight House). As much as we would like to apply Feng Shui as fast as we can, it is best to understand the rationale for each School and try to understand the basics. For Shapes and Form Feng Shui, you can tour the resources in this site or simply get a book on Shapes and Form Feng Shui.…

Dear Sean, Under the Eight House Theory, it is good to have a `suitable' front entrance facing one's good side. However, since your home is `mobile' it would suggest that it is quite small. In a small and mobile home, frankly it is quite difficult to apply certain Feng Shui principles. Perhaps, you can let us know what is the size of your mobile home i.e. is it around the size. If the centrepoint of the house is close to all directions, it is best not to `apply' Feng Shui but rather, look at the house interms of the environment i.e. Shapes and Form. One way of looking at the mobile home in relation to the site/land. Warmest Regards, Cecil ----- Original Message ----- From…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I would like your advise as to what animals are friendly towards a red rat? Based on general rat horoscope signs, then you can refer to this link:- URL: http://www.geomancy.net/astrology/astro/crat.htm Which means Rat / Dragon / Monkey horoscope signs should generally be better match. As for the "red" rat, I presume you are refering to a Fire rat? If so, that depends on whether you are a weak fire or strong fire rat. The best element compatibility depends on for weak fire, would be like wood/fire. So when you put together with your favourable horoscope, it can wood/fire dragon or wood/fire monkey for example. While the best element compa…

Dear Anon, There original intention is for monetary use and not for Feng Shui. The larger ones usually have higher monetary value. I hope I have understood your question correctly. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Carla, Carla Rothacker wrote: Here in America, we often have mobile home parks where the homes are set up on a semi-permanent basis. Some are in the form of a single long home of 14 by 70 feet or 16 by 64 feet, while some are made in 2 pieces and assembled on site as what we call a "doublewide" mobile home. Wheels are removed, and the homes in both cases are supported by construction blocks at key points beneath them, sitting upon concrete. Carla Rothacker wrote: Yes, they *can* be moved, but generally are not. It takes a special moving company to do so, and is expensive. These are different from recreational vehicles, which are small homes on wheels, or small c…

Dear Anon, 1. The Flying Star Theory is considered more accurate than the Eight House for two reasons:- 2. It takes into consideration time factor e.g. the age of the building and period of assessment. This was used to the explaination of the rise and fall of dynasties and empires. 3. When we consider the main entrance door, it is not simply the Eight cardinal points of North, South, East, West, North-East, North-West, South-East and South West; but instead, sub-divide each compass point into three sectors. Example For North, you must identify if it is at 0 degrees, 15 degrees or at 345 degrees and then you start to plot a mathemathical model plus also calculate the movem…

Dear Anon, 1. Personally, I feel that the main drawback of a figure eight condominium complex is the shape of the apartments. It tends to circular and not that ideal under `Shapes and Form' Feng Shui. (Especially if the rooms are curved.) 2. It also makes it difficult to place furniture on the side of the curving wall. On has then to try and `correct' the shape by getting custom made furniture. 3. Basically, it is the main synificance of the number 8 that `sounds' attractive. Otherwise, it is like any other developments. 4. One plus point or a demerit depends on the frontage of the house. If the frontage faces outwards, than all the apartments will have in a way water pos…

Hi, Off-hand, it is hard to say what is the best colour for say a building. For a home, the most common colour is `neutral' white if it is the plastered walls. I guess, white is good as it is `better' at deflecting light than dark colours which aborb heats. This also depends on the country you live in. Usually if one is not using white, usualy pastel light shades of colours are acceptable. If one's side of the house is say facing a Yin location e.g. a cemetry, one should try to use a Yang colour to `offset' or neutralise the Yin qi. For a building, if one is using Feng Shui, you may need to consult a Feng Shui consultant to look at the surrouding and recommend a solution…

Hi, This past question posted in the forum and available at this URL: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/ruler.htm will help you to understand the `Imperial Chinese Ruler' and how it is used or not used today:- Question: have a set of antique furniture which was given by my mum. I measured the furniture and it fits the good measures of the Feng Shui Ruler. Is this good? Can you also elaborate more on the Feng Shui Ruler? Yes most `true' antique furnitures (Chinese influence) do have a set of measurements that follows the Feng Shui ruler. As the furniture was given by your mum (to confirm: from her home?) if so, it is OK. For other antique furniture that you want to purchase, wher…

Dear Anon, I believe you are missing the point. Even if a wind chime CAN be used in Feng Shui does not give it an `outright' stamp of approval to be used at one's whims and fancy. The other option is for a person, who is not aware of Feng Shui, liked it and install it. This is based on one's feeling and perhaps six sense. Frankly, this is the last that I will entertain such questions. If you feel that the world perhaps revolves around such objects, please go to other forums that will see the world of commerical products. Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. There are sufficient resources to highlight the dangers of using wind chime(s) via SEARCH feature in this forum.
