Dear Anon, Appreciate if you can elaborate more of why you would want to find out about the element of red coral. Usually, these are considered part and parcel of the contents of a fish tank and should not be an "issue" unless, they have an unusual undefined shape. (Or if they occupy more than 33.3 percent of the floor area (or the volume of the location). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, My frank advise is that if one is really not sure where to place such objects or have no idea whether it is auspicious to do so, try not to place it. It is better to have a `clean', clear and clutter free environment than placing the unknown. On the `commonsense' approach, (other than Feng Shui), how often must one change the water. For those who stay at areas where there is mosquito, will it breed mosquitoes. Here, it is best not to "feel" that I have something I feel useful, I want to `utilize' it. It may do more harm than good. I guess, if one really wants or yearn to place such a configuration, would have to go with one's feeling. Let me elaborate further …

Dear Anon, In traditional Feng Shui practise: 1. The number of claws on the dragon is important. The `highest' order is a Five Claw Dragon. Usually, in a home one should not use more than a four claw dragon. 2. The Dragon is the most Yang of all the `animals'. The traditional advise is that a dragon should only be placed "looking out" of a house e.g. facing a main door entrance or through a window. Personally, I use a dragon in my house overlooking a sha qi. I will try to take a picture of it and a brief description and show in under the new conference for picture attachments when I have the time. 3. As a bedroom should be a yin location, it is advised not to place one i…

Dear Ber, (This is not based on Feng Shui). It is best that you should not bring your 8 month old baby to the wake or funeral. As you have mentioned, there are cases where the baby will cry non-stop after coming home from such occasions. There are a few situations that may help: One is to buy flowers and lime and bring it to a temple to pray. Then use a clean bowl and fill the bowl with water. Add the flowers and lime and pour it over the childs head and the rest of the body. Remove the `waste' flowers and lime and discard it immediately. ----- My personal experience ---- Well, this is not entirely based on the same situation but I recalled when my younger brother was a…

Dear Anon, It me elaborate that the reason some book authors or Feng Shui practioners advise not to place plants or flowers (especially real flowers) that these are considered Yang especially growing plants. Bedrooms normally should be more Yin location. Based on the little information provided, you can either: As for whether it is bad for marriage, in my opinion, this is a question mark. What I mean here is that we have not much information to go on. Usually, for an accurate picture, it should be looked into after considering both partners element and the strength plus what is the Flying Star at the location. This should provide a deeper analysis. All I can say for now i…

Dear Anon, Frankly, this has more to do with superstitious belief than Feng Shui. In my honest opinion, I have not heard of having two or more double happiness symbol equates to more than one marriage. Hmm.. anyone care to try and say... provide us feedback in six months, a year time? *JOKE* Seriously, I am not sure that a symbol can have such a significant impact. Maybe I am wrong. Lets wait for a feedback. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jennifer, Thanks for your description. Presently, what you are using is based on "intuitive" Feng Shui. Although it is one way of looking at Feng Shui, at the current moment, without much details about yourself, it is very difficult for me to provide advise on this information. This is because, in traditional FS, analysis must be done with the proper tools of analysis such as the Flying Star and Pillars of Destiny. You can still map out your house using a more general Eight House Theory. Warmest Regards, Cecil

I can recommend a book for those interested in learning which foods are yin or yang, with an analysis of the 5 elements. "Between Heaven and Earth," by Harriet Beinfield (not sure of the spelling of author's last name). This book may not be available outside the US, however. Hope this helps. --Joe

Dear Anon, It is hard to associate electrical problems to Feng Shui. However, as Feng Shui uses the "commonsense approach", in a broad sense, such things can be associated with or co-related with Feng Shui. Basically, there is no past written information of the effects of electricity on Feng Shui as it has only been invented by Edison in our century. Based on "commonse", I believe, most of us feel strongly that this may be a potential for a fire if the problem is not resolved. The closest to this is that it is considered inauspicious to have the bedroom above a kitchen. The reason is because although incidents such as a fire in a kitchen is uncommon, this would be the mo…

Slanted ceilings in the bedrooms

Dear Jennifer, Please see below:- - Where is the bedroom door and avoid placing the bed where it can be seen when you open the door. - Avoid placing the bed with the headrest towards a window. - Avoid placing the bed on the same wall as the toilet. - Avoid letting any part of the bed face the toilet door. (Remedies can be applied thou). 2. Only after you have considered the above and check to see if the bed can be placed e.g. where you mentioned at the "parallel". If not, you really cannot do much with a slopping ceiling unless:- a. Hopefully the ceiling is high. The higher the better as this will reduce the `sloping' sha. b. Get a poster bed with four `pillars' on e…

Dear Anon, Sorry for the confusion. The Chinese belief of the 7th Month is based on Chinese practises rather than on Feng Shui. Predominantly, you will find most Chinese Feng Shui practioners (in countries like Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Far East) following this practise. Thus you will understand that this practise is not based on Feng Shui. Some Feng Shui practioners e.g. those migrated to Canada or the US may consider this `superstition'. One reason is because their clients may not be Chinese and therefore feel that this is not a `taboo'. Let me elaborate how most of us follow this practise: It is because, most of the time, our clients would not move in to a new house o…

Dear Cecil, Since the wall appears to "cut off" the foot of the bed, thereby "cutting off" my toes, then what can I do? There's no other place for the bed. Any suggestions are appreciated. --Joe

Dear Anon, Most practioners do not take into consideration the covered porch as it is not a `living quarters'. A few persons I understand took it wrongly to mean that this is a `missing' corner or a `protrusion.'. Since you are using a pie chart, you should usually consider up to the Main entrance door area. I agree that using a pie chart, is much easier than using the 9 squares method. What matters most is to be able to know what influences is at each of the sector. From here, you can then better place your furniture etc... Warmest Regards, Cecil

I believe there are a few viewpoints: 1. I am not here to create a religious " row " between Christians and Catholics but let me elaborate what Catholics `believe' and how some Protestants see differently. Catholics mentioned that they have statues of e.g. Mary, mother of Jesus not because of idol worship but as a respect and `inspiration' to them. By the way, I am a free thinker. However, I attended Primary, Secondary and Pre University in a Catholic School. When I was in Secondary School, I always come across a few teachers who passed by the statue of Mary outside our school hall. They would stand there and pause to collect their taughts. They do not use jost sticks to…

Dear Anon, Although may not need to apply Flying Star Feng Shui to the home, we can apply one of te Flying Star concept of the " water star ". For those who are not familiar with " water star ", if we leave out the word star in this case, you can visualise that whenever there is water, usually the landscape is flat. This is the same concept under the " water star " Theory where the location should be `flat'. Contrast this with the " mountain star ". Where, a mountain is equvalent of a wall. The clue here is not to clutter the living room with tall objects. Objects in the radius of the living room should preferably be flat. For example as a guide it should not be taller t…

Dear Anon, For the Jacuzzi, please take note of the following:- 1. It must not be at the centre-point of the house. 2. One wall of the toilet should share the same wall as the exterior wall. This is to ensure that it cannot be at the centre of the house. 3. If the person's element is Strong Water or Weak Fire, best to avoid owning a jacuuzi. 4. The size of the jacuuzi plus the toilet area must not be equal to the size of the bedroom. The bedroom must be bigger. The jacuuzi must not exceed 33.33 percent of the entire `floor area' of the bedroom plus the toilet together with the jacuzzi. Warmest Regards, Cecl

Dear Anon, I agree that some FS practioners may use wind chimes to attract wealth. However, the Buddhist and Toaist call the dead using bells. 1. It is best to avoid using metal wind chimes at West, North-West and North-East. West and North-West are of the Metal Element and Yin locations. North-East is traditionally the Devil's Gate and one may inadvertently attract imps or playful spirits as they may be attracted to the sound of the wind chime. 2. The above is the traditional reasoning or advice to take note. 3. Most of the time, due to human nature, we do tend to `over-eat' or go to extremes to purchase not one but many wind chimes. Normally, using our sixth sense, it i…

Dear Anon, Here symbolism is important in Feng Shui. 1. You need to look at each animal and determine their `looks'. Animals that are on the `prowl' or waiting to snare a victim is considered not auspicious. 2. Animals that looks hungry and " wants " to devour another etc... are best avoided. 3. Any unknown shape e.g. in the shape of a monster etc... are inauspicious. 4. Usually, toys such as teddy bear, goats are acceptable. It is always not adviseable to place animals as described under Para 1 to 3 facing a main entrance or any bedroom doors. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi, Please see below:- A warm welcome:) An alternative method is use this site's Eight House at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm Another alternative is simply sign up for a free account at http://www.geomancy-online.com (Under this URL, you can simply input the relevant details as `asked' by the program and the Eight House Chart is generated online for you. You can save it or print it anytime. It is too superficial for me to answer your questions. To analyse a house, you can be as simplistic or as detailed as possible. Simple answers to whether an apartment is good for you are as follows: 1. Use the Shapes and Form School. If you are new, perhaps, you …

Dear Anon, In my opinion, graphic illustrations are `flat objects'. On a Personal Computer, it lies `flat' on a person's screen. Contrast this with a physical object e.g. such as the corner of a table. The corner of a table is considered a poision arrow. Therefore, unless it is a three dimension object that points directly towards a person, I sincerely believe that the graphic illustrations do not have an impact on a person. Warmest Regards, Cecil Lee

Dear Anon, The more important consideration as you have mentioned is to try avoid having an `L' shape. It is thus better to `break' down the `L' into two square/rectangle shape. It does not really matter here if you have to decide what to call the two `halves'. You can call one the main living room and the other any name. It really does not matter. Warmest Regards, Cecil
