Dear Glyn, In general, the `calculation' of the amount of water is similar to the `calculation' for Missing Corners. This should be less than 33.3 percent of the house. Here we are talking about e.g. pool water. However, FIRST PRIORITY should be given to the consideration under the Shapes and Form i.e. it should not be in the centre of the house, the back of the house etc... Waterfalls with water in storage tanks etc.. are least affected because this is mostly installed by building owners and it usually does not exceed a `small' percentage of their land area. On the micro-level, it would depend on a person's element and how well it goes with water. For example, if a pers…

Hi, Chinese culture is quite diverse and each specific `tool' is used for different things. No, Feng Shui cannot possible make you loose weight. However, you have to move up the chain. What is the Chain? In the structure of Feng Shui, Chinese Divinity, Health etc.. there is a chain and if you cannot find your answers, you can move up the chain. Lets look at a very general overview of the Chain:- Highest Level : Taiji Upper Level : Yin and Yang Middle Level : The Five Elements Lower Level : Specific `Applications' such as Feng Shui, Ba Zhi (Eight Characters), Medicine. If you cannot find a certain thing, you look up the higher chain. For example, if loosing weight is n…

Hi, Currently there are four methods of dealing with a T junction (not in any order of importance):- 1. Change the angle of the door to face one of your best directions i.e. tilt the door to one that faces one of your good directions. This is said to `kill' two birds with one stone. 2. If your main entrance door is elevated, you can have semi-circular steps leading to the house. This is one technique of `radiating' sha ch' away from your main entrance. 3. Alternatively, if your main entrance is level to your external of the house, you could consider a specially made semi-circular carpet e.g. of half of a sun with it's fiery sunlight (spikes) radiating away from the mai…

Further to what I had mentioned, for those who are not aware of the Chinese culture, ringing bell etc... is performed as a `rite' for someone who has died. Chinese monks who perfom the last burial rites use bells etc.. to guide the dead to their burial place. Here like wind chimes, one may inadvertently call some wondering `spirits' to the home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wendy, Apologise for the late response, please see below:- Based on Eight House theories, there is very little change or fixes that you can apply. The only thing which I can suggest is that if you are staying in your bad locations sector, what you can do to minimize it is to make sure that you sleep facing your good sectors, that way, you can reduce the influences. Well, you cannot force someone to believe something. Just make "reasonable" changes especially those with good reasons. You know many Feng Shui advices are normally very environmentally friendly. Well, I guess that is a growing up phase which is cannot be explained by Feng Shui. So long as…

Hi, Grateful if all users can take note when creating a new topic, please try not to use one syllable word e.g. Dowsing. I have changed the wording to: Is Dowsing Important? This is because it is easier for Users here to `pick' and choose the topic they want to read. Thanks in advance. To find out more on what you have mentioned please go to this url: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/under.htm You will find the answer there. Thanks. Cecil

In general, as a balcony is above the ground and not on landed property, you can easily grow almost any plants that can bloom at the balcony. This is because, it is more important that you enjoy your little garden on the balcony then be constrained by what to plant. So long as the flowers continue to bloom, it is considered auspicious. For example, I have two plants on each side of my house balcony. Since the day I placed them, every day, you can see flowers on both plants. When my house was undergoing re-tiling, the plants we placed some other loation. They almost died. However, since they returned to the same location, they are continously booming. Go and see plants esp…

Hi, Not too long before the `Internationalization ' of Feng Shui where FS practioners read more of each other's works:- 1. Hong Kong FS Masters/Practioners are associated with the use of fish tanks to counteract sha. 2. In Taiwan, in the past, the `trademark' is the use of plants. Since most of us are not in Taiwan and Hong Kong: What happened? Most FS practioners all over the world use both! The one of the basic rule of the Shapes and Form School is not to (unnecessaryily) create poision arrows. Since most or all cactus plants have spikes these are considered poision arrows. Most of the time, if we follow simple rulesets such as above, we can in time easily deduce what …

Hi, Generally bird baths that are equivalent of a face bath bowl or the `sink' should not be considered as a water position. But becareful, if it is more than 1 metre and have stagnant water, it is not auspicious. There should be some activity at the bird bath. More... As for birds, there are two situations with regards to birds:- Those that fly freely and those that are caged. A `secret' weapon of Feng Shui is that it is auspicious to have birds flying freely around your house. This means that there are trees around the house to provide a serene environment. Here it is `as good as' having Feng shui enhancers e.g. fountains. For caged birds, for many society and even for …

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. …

Hi, Please read below:- You are welcome:) Actually for Eight House, you don't have to worry so much about proper superimposing. Just use the eight directions and take the center of each level. For Eight House, I find that the Pie method rather than the nine square method is easier to use. The Pie method is to have 45 degree angle for every direction starting from the center. If you use this method, you need not worry about having two sets of layout. Also it clearly tell you the direction whether good or bad. If you have a choice, try to locate in a better room, and try to face in one of the better directions, avoid the death and disaster. But of course, this …

Hi, Please read below:- Under the shapes and forms theory, if you cannot see it is not a problem. So under this theory, I personally feel that you do not really need to worry. However, for safety reasons, I think that you should still make sure it is safe enough to go into the basement without any mishap. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi, I had written this short article in the past: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/pakua.htm 1. We are trying to romanized all words used in the website and the correct term for Pakua is Ba Gua. (Pakua is a Hokkien term - a dialect of the Chinese). 2. Please do not be mistaken an ordinary mirror with a Ba Gua Mirror. An ordinary mirror is considered `Yin'. Too much of the mirror will create a too yin environment. 3. Please read the above article and you will understand the difference between: The First Heaven and Last Heaven Ba Gua and their use. Warmest Regards, Cecil

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…

Hi, Please read below:- Basically, yes I personally agree that circle is very strong shape. However, in terms of Feng Shui, if the building is circular, there is this possibility that you will have missing corners from the shapes and form school. In Feng Shui, the best shapes for houses is rectangle or square shapes, because if you look at it is easier to layout your home furniture in rectangle shape houses rather than odd shaped houses. If anyone has anymore to add, feel free to add to this topic. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi, I like to add a few words on this subject:- 1. As most users here are aware, the tearing down of a building complex to turn it into a public park is a very Feng Shui move. If you can recall, the front of the house or office building should be " flat " ie. under the Four Symbolic Animal concept, the front is the `phoenix' which signifies it flies freely in open space. Similiarly, the Bright Hall is also called another term i.e. Ming Tang. Traditional practise, you will find a pool (not stagnant water) in front of the building. It is usually semi circular i.e. radiating away from the building. This is why sometimes, if you have a poision arrow aimed at your main entranc…

Hi, Please read below:- Again, this is a Chinese religious belief. For the Chinese, there are many "gods" or more appropriate "deities or fairies". You see in the Chinese due to many novels etc, Chinese believe in the various deities or fairies are originally some person who in his life time done something significantly great, thus, in future generations the Chinese began to worship them as a sort of symbol. Kitchen god is one of them. However, I have not really tell you that story, as I have not read on it, maybe you can look it up in the library. But in terms of Feng Shui, the kitchen is often regarded as an important place also, due to the fact that it represents …

Hi, Please read below:- This means that if you are water and fire is your wealth, if you are a strong water and constantly with an environment or job which represents fire, you are likely to be successful and wealthy! But only if you are strong enough to take advantage of it! Deity is like a god which for the Pillars presents some helping stars. It is represented by the 5 elements of which there is a direct, and indirect version of each element. For example, direct wealth and indirect wealth. This means that direct wealth is wealth you obtain from your hard work. As for indirect wealth are wealth such as inheritance or winning lottery etc. Bone is a term use by t…

Hi, Please read below:- Generally, you still can, but not advisable if your situation is such that you have too much of water. What you should try to do is reduce the influence. However, please do not take it the wrong way or go to the extreme. Lets say that even if you are considered a Strong Water, does that mean that you cannot have metal? Remember that Feng Shui is about balance, and it is best to have a little of everything. This means that if in your Pillars you find that you do not have any Earth, then you should still try to create some earth by wearing some earthly colour or use Fire to produce what you lack. Why should you still have some unfavourable elem…

Hi, Not to be confused, usually gardens should have a balance between Yin and Yang. The easiest answer is:- 1. Rocks, stones and anything `hard' is considered Yang. 2. Trees, plants, water point are considered Yin. It is best to have a mix of both and you usually find a good garden have both features. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jason, Please read below:- ----- Original Message ----- From: Listmanager To: Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 1999 11:33 PM Subject: Wealth Elements The element which you destroy is your wealth element. However, although I can generally deduce the element is represented by it, in order to deduce whether it is main wealth or unexpected wealth, you need to refer to the Pillars as a condition is required to deduce it.

I have read with interest the various questions sent to the forum recently regarding Windchimes, Coins, Eight Life Aspirations etc. etc. and would like to tell my story. In 1997 I became interested in FS and started reading whatever books I could get on the subject. I then followed what was said, wind chime here, coins there,plant here, water there and the list went on. To say my family experienced many problems is putting it mildly. I urge fellow forum members to take heed of the advice Cecil and Robert give you in relation to "Fast Food Feng Shui" as believe me, disaster WILL strike. Glyn

Dear Ber, Please read below:- Thank you for your encouragement. Don't need to resent this mail. We have not forgotten it. It is just that we answer mails not based on the time it was sent but rather the content of the mails. If you really want to you may want to do a numerology for the date of birth, that should also give you some lucky numbers. You can download the Free Feng Shui Software from the website, there is a numerology software which analyses the natal number for you. URL: http://www.geomancy.net/software/index.htm Just remember to key in the Lunar Birth Date rather then the Solar Birth Date, as I have no time to put in the conversion module yet.…

Hi, Please read below:- For example of the material of the wind chime is metal, and there is 5 rods, this means that the wind chime is a earth-metal wind chime. Generally, 2,3,4,5 are associated very closely with the inauspicious stars, and if you hang this in location which has a star 2,3,4,5 you are likely to trigger the influence of these stars thus causing bad influences. It is not so much that solid wind chime or even that say star 5 wind chime is not useful. You have to be careful as to where you are putting it. If place correctly, the element influence which you are looking for will remove the inauspicious influence based on the element composition of the …
