Edited by Robert: Please be advised, that usually such placement of like water feature/altar/prayer roomrequire us to do a review of the house flying star etc before we can tell you where it can be placed. Without that, we will not be able to tell you whether or not it is a good to place, as if you place it wrongly, you might have problems instead. So probably my advise here is for you to get someone to assess your home and make the recommendation for you after your home is fully assessed. I am born in 19/11/1955 . I just completed my new house and the main door is facing South East . This is facing a small hill with houses on top that is whyI do have another door &a…

Dear Betty, The most important thing to remember is not to place a wall clock above a door. Preferably, it should be placed at a location of activity e.g. close to the Television set or Hi Fi. (it can be above it). Another thing to note is that a grandfather clock is a better `subsitute' for a windchime. A few days ago, I tried counting my neighour's bungalow house. I counted at least nine different types of windchimes outside the west `wing' of the house (or the back door area). It so happens that this is also the WEST side of the house or the YIN side. Most likely, the lady who stayed there became insane because of the windchime. Personally, I would like to help but the…

Dear Anon, Overall, recently there are quite alot of messages on the placement of `display' objects. Do note that placement of objects is directly related to Chinese beliefs and not Feng Shui. However, as it is relevant to most of us, (beliefs) we have to be clear about it. As a general guide, if it is a `display' piece it should preferably be kept inside a display shelf. This is because usually ox have pointed "horns" and may inavertenly create poison arrows. Keeping the `display' ox in a display shelf effectively contains it especially if it is placed sideways. Most likely, the horns will be pointed towards the support panel of the display cabinet. Warmest Regards, Cec…

Dear Anon, Pigs signify "abundance". Hopefully not abundance of fat on the body making one rounder:) Last week, I wanted to take a picture of two pigs (each pig on either side of a pillar) of a house. Each of the pig figurine on top of the pillar were carrying an umbrella, they were in a comfortable position lying and `posing' for a short. But as I was in a hurry, could not take a shot of it. Anyway, place it at a place you find `suitable' i.e. in the living room. Pigs are `lazy' animals and not guard dogs so they do not need to face a door, the sliding glass windows etc... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Perhaps, it would be more convenient to do a search e.g. under Yahoo.com and type in Feng Shui emporium ... I believe it is much easier to buy it from the internet especially in your part of the country. In my country, there are plentiful shops by the dozen scattered in my locations. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Stephane, From my opinion, the best Feng Shui books are not in English but in Mandarin either written by practising Masters in Taiwan or in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, one needs to know Mandarin in order to read such books. Many of such books are also not translated into English and currently many English educated Feng Shui authors are capitalising on this but many are still no `match' for the `originals' although many English speaking Feng shui authors try to make a good attempt at it. Currently I will not mention the books here but we have found fundamental flaws in the `current batch' of Feng Shui books on theories relating to Pillars of destiny and the Flying star.…

Dear Evelyn, I believe the rationale, here is that the twin goldfish represents the metal element. And metal helps to produce water. In such a situation, it is possible to place the goldfish picture outside the toilet wall - if you want to. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Evelyn, With the little information provided, it is difficult for me to give you proper advise. Usually, if one practises or applies sector Feng Shui; may have to use personal feelings i.e. not because; of `Feng Shui' related reasons but simply because one `fell in love' with an object of decoration e.g. metal windchime and wants to place it. Here, one may have to use personal feelings to see where it can be placed in the home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Normally, 6 ancient coins are used to `exhaust' a bad Five Earth element or to destroy the Wood. I can quite understand the Five coloured beads as these usually represent the Five elements. As for a small bell and the Five Chinese coins (minus the tassel - which is considered `insignificant'), I cannot really comment on these other than if one considers the number 5. Here, I believe, it is more a decorative piece to symbolise the number 5 rather than to represent 5 " Metal ". As a general guideline, if one do not know what to do with it, then avoid hanging it. As the saying goes better safe than sorry. Warmest Regards, Ceci Lee

Dear Santosh, In my opinion, and the many audits done locally, the placement of shoe rack is only of secondary importance or really not a major issue for most of us. Although, some FS practitioners may feel that there is lots of `hipe' in wanting less clutter or felt that `bad qi' if one places shoes/sandals or shoe rack at the front main door. In Feng Shui audits mainly by professionals, assessment is usually based on using the Compass School and particuarly the Shapes and Form of the site and the home. Which is considered the `bigger' picture. Already, within these two schools of FS, there are really so much assessment to be made here. For the garbage bin, especially fo…

Dear John, In my opinion, statues are more like decorative pieces and dwell on beliefs rather than Feng Shui. If one looks at beliefs, normally, it is placed firstly as a decoration at a location you personally feel comfortable with. Some Chinese family run (small) shops do tend to display either a figurine of it in their shops or just a picture of it. In my opinion, you can `play safe' by following the `standard' Chinese beliefs: 1. Do not place it in your bed room. As a bedroom is considered a `dirty' place i.e. you take off your clothes to change etc... 2. Do not place it on the same wall as the toilet. 3. Do not place it side by side with other Chinese deities such as…

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 Carlos, 1. In my opinion, this may not be the correct way to solve your problems. 2. A Ba Gua mirror is often used to either: 2.1 Ward of evil and/or 2.2 Neutralise Sha Qi (poison arrows). (For example, a house located at a `T' junction. 3. Often, it is placed outside the main entrance door or above the window of a house. 4. Otherwise, it is best to check out what is wrong i.e. are there any leaks externally or internally in the home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

I recently bought a Mansionette or HDB EA flat. My parent, my wife and I got different opinion of putting our altar. My altar will be custom make around 2000-2400mm wide, 2550-2600mm height and 500-600mm depth. We pray to Dua Pek gong with wen Wu Pang guan and my ancestor My parent got opinion from er ye bo to put it at the stair facing main road, east south area. My wife got opinion from her brother in law who got some knowledge of Feng Shui. He advised her to put the altar either at the wall facing balcony (north east) or window facing entrance ( south west) My thinking is to put either near stair doing a new wall facing opposite block wall (south west ) …

Currently, my family photo is placed on a wall in my living room which is facing the entrance to my kitchen, which also faces the windows in the kitchen (the windows of a normal kitchen ina HDB flat).

Dear Anon, 1. If one hires a Feng Shui practitioner who practises (Ren Cai) or Human/Man luck Feng Shui, more often, a fountain is placed close to the main entrance door area. 2. But, honestly, the placement of a fountain comes under the following considerations:- 2.1 It is not advisable to have a fountain - especially if the breadwinner is a weak fire or strong water person. As a water position can overwhelm the weak fire or extinguish his weak fire. If one is a strong water person, too much water can also overwhelm him/her. 2.2 What is the actual purpose of a fountain? 2.2.1 If one is living on a landed property, a water position especially at the frontage does help. Th…

Dear John, John Low wrote: Where is the best place to put my small fish tank? The best place to put water feature to activate your water wealth for your flying star would be where your auspicious water star is found. This means that if your house is a period 7, then the sector containing the water star 7 (is your current prosperity for a period 7 house), and star 8 is your future prosperity, while 9 is your future future prosperity. So if a water feature is placed in the sector containing the waters star 7/8, this would be your two best sector to activate your wealth based on your flying star. Generally, in a house the fish tank is usually best placed in like the livi…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Please can you advise me on where to install my water feature. The best place to place a water feature that is auspicious for Feng Shui is to find where your water wealth location is within your house. For example, a Period 8 house, the current wealth is star 8, future wealth is star 9 and future future wealath is star 1. For period 7 house, the current wealth is star 7, future wealth is star 8, future future wealth is star 9. etc. So sectors where these 3 star is located are he better sectors within the house to place the water feature so as to activate the water wealth luck.

My husband loves pointy leaved plants and has a few he wants to be brought into the house. Currently, they are in our greenhouse, but I'm reluctant to bring them in. Is there area, where a large spikey leaved plant would work well? There are no thrones, but the leaves are thin and pointy. "spikey"
