Dear Rudresh, In my opinion: 1. India like China has one of the oldest civilisation. These two countries have some of oldest civilisation. 2. In fact, in the Chinese tale of "Journey to the West"; a Chinese monk of the Tang dynasty was given the task to go to India to obtain holy scriptures. 3. This does show that there is much to be learned from Indian culture. 4. Since China and India are close neighbours, there is indeed much trade and cutural exchanges. 5. I believe, (for now) Indian vasthu is not as contaminated or highly commercialised as " Feng Shui " of today. It is because of the highly commercialised `Feng Shui' what with FAST FOOD FENG SHUI and marketing geni…

1. Frankly, I would personally keep to SW. For three reasons:- a. #1 is the coming prosperity star as you had mentioned, thus SW is still a better overall choice. b. Current 20 year water wealth resides. c. SW happens to be the very auspicious indirect water wealth spirit location under Period 8. Thus a big water position, here is good.

1. I have some clients and apparently they had already purchased unit(s) facing the canal. They purchased before engaging my service. And so happens facing the canal side. One of them is a lecturer in one of the Universities in Singapore.But if Feng Shuied properly can still sustain the "impact" of this issue. 2. Ideally, based on Flying Star Feng Shui, the facing direction of the busier side is Period 8 West 2/3 facing which has double auspicious #8's and a good future prosperity star #1. Thus technically, the west facing (busier Bukit Timah Road side is suppose to have better qi) that is correct. 3. While the canal side or East2/3 has double auspicious #8's wasted …

Hi Angela, Sorry, but didn't see any attached picture. So quite difficult to comment based on your description. Please re-attach the file. Generally, you need to be more concerned about the breadwinner (probably your husband). You need to ensure that the house faces at least one of your 4 good directions and have a suitable bedroom for the breadwinner. If the eight house is quite opposite, then at least house should suit the breadwinner while the bedroom should suit the spouse. Hope that helps.

Dear David, Thank you for the sketch of your home cum office. 1. The large tree outside is still considered a threat to your main door. See if you can use a ba gua mirror above the main door to deflect it. 2. Water position: 2.1 I do hope that the water position is not on the same wall as the stove. As this is inauspicious. 2.2 In addition, if you are a weak fire or a strong water person, then it is considered very unfavourable to have a water position inside your home. 2.3 If the current water position location has bad stars such as #3 or #4 (both bad wood stars) or a combination; 2.4 Then under the productive sequence of Five elements concept: Water helps wood (in this…

Dear Anon, Some information on wind chime(s):- 1. Under Flying Star Feng Shui, six represents "big metal". 2. Thus we often hear advice such as: - hang a set of six coins tied with red string or - hang a six hollow rod wind chime 2. As six represents "big metal", this big metal is particularly used to neutralise #2 sickness #5 misfortune /sickness and #3 quarrels/conflicts/lawsuits etc.. 3. A proper wind chime must not be colourful i.e. especially rainbow colours. 4. A wind chime should usually be made of: a. entirely copper plated (metallic) : traditional looking ones have a pagoda (trigram or 8 sided roof) with a ancient coin hung as the clinger. Some of these …

Dear Marilyn, marilyn o wrote: which is main door? the 1st steel gate of the whole property or the wood main door of the house? Since this is a landed property, then you should take the facing of your house. ie which is the frontage of your home. We do not take the steel gate because depending on the plot of land, sometimes where the gate is isn't exactly where your house faces. So you should focus on the house and which is considered the front of the house. marilyn o wrote: if its the actual door of the house, is it bad to have part of a post (the corner/edge is Not POINTING to the main door, just the side) is this also considered as poison arrow?

These are some considerations:- 1. In my opinion, your question is like ebony and ivory: 20 year or annual (full stop). 2. There are a-lot of considerations even if one wants to say which is more powerful. 3. As mentioned under Para 2, there are indeed ALOT of other considerations. Thus for annual or annual cures, it depends on individual homes and the result may not be similar for every Tom, Dick or Harry. Other factors include: Heaven luck, man or human luck factors, philantrophy, education da da da .de de de da da... 3.1. In theory, of course, based on the most timely stars, logically, an academic would claim that annual is "more powerful". Even so, this is considere…

I am unclear whether the direction of the house is more important than the direction of the main door, or the door I use most often. The books I read do not say. I am suspecting the door has more influence, since as a Kan person in a Li house, I should be doing well, but the door I always use is in my unfavorable Southwest corner. I have been sick since childhood, and I wonder if this may be part of the problem. The other door is in the also unfavorable northeast. Does an unfavorable entrance overrule the compatibility I have with my home? Thank you for your time and thoughts. Carla

These are some considerations: 1. You wrote: The hallway door is facing my nice glass balcony one. 1.1. Without a photo, it is difficult to fully grasp this. As often, unless one is physically at the home/apartment; or at least see the layout out; 1.2. Harder here to understand what you mean. And also, how large is the "nice glass balcony" and whether you open it or slam shut it most of the time. 2. With all the haze around, one possibility could be the frontage could be "facing the street" view. 3. Other considerations include: if you always slam-shut your main door when at home; then this is highly unlikely to be your frontage.

I have an idea now to swop my main door to the gate position (subject to management approval). so my main door will face West then. However, both me and my hb is East goup people (Kua 1 and 9) but my daughter is West group. Is it advisable not to change my main door position (original south facing if gate don't consider)? However, my main door also facing the living room balcony which is also not very ideal.

Dear Susan, In Traditional Feng Shui, the main door is the door where one usually have the house unit/number on the door. If you are constantly using the garage door, one can use the Compass School of Feng Shui i.e. either or both : Eight House Theory or Flying Star analysis to check which door is more favourable i.e. the garage door or the main entrance door to use. In such instances, one may add a unit no. to the garage door. I cannot provide any comments on the Bagua template as this usually refers to the `Black Hat Sect' and this form of Feng Shui is not recognised nor effective method. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Some say that SW is the romance sector. Thus, it was felt that hanging family photos is acceptable, here. 2. Usually when applying Flying Star Feng Shui, one can further fine tune applying paintings appropriate for that sector. Thus, if that sector has a mountain star then, a "landscape" painting or picture is acceptable. While if it is a water wealth location, then common Chinese paintings include the kok or gold fish paintings. Glass framed paintings if possible should not be hung facing a bedroom door or facing the main entrance d door.

Dear Anon, I cannot blame you for being so confused as to where to hang Christmas lights after reading here and there. This is because, based on what you wrote, all the understanding is not correct. 1. Grand duke theory states that one should not: a. Touch `him' b. Distrub him. I can in general understand one may consider lights `disturbing' him but it should not be the case. 2. 5 Yellow is based on this Year's Flying Star Chart where south = 5 Yellow. Again, this is based on a general assessment that every household must be careful of 5 Yellow. This `theory' is too general to be applied and is not tailored to the individual. I believe, at this point in time since you ar…

Hi, This is a good question. What we must understand in Feng Shui is that the " frontage " of the house is very important. This is where natural light enters the house especially through the windows. The test is to stand inside the house and even with some curtains hanging at the windows (at the open position), you should have sufficient light to read in the house especially in the daytime and during normal hours and an average day. Here, you should not be unduly worried if it is a `stormy' day and you see a `dark' house. Alternatively, in the above senario, you should also be aware that this is also the side of the house where it is `presented' to the public ie. it is d…

I reproduce my comments, below:- === START === These are some considerations:- 1. You stay there, I (geomancer) don't! 1.1. Thus it would be very irresponsible for me to give you a one line advice! And you may have to live with such a consequence. 2. Just imagine a bomb. Even a bomb or a grenade when it detonates; has a critical radius. Thus, don't just think that just because the centre of gravity is only a pin prick, it is only at that dot. 3. Just look at the illustration b, I provided. The area is at least larger than the red circle I drawn around the "pin prick" centre of gravity. 4. Thus, what makes one think that by say shrinking the toilet (a little) one's worry i…

Glad that you enjoy the information on our website:- Gary Lim wrote: I have 1 question though. recently, i checked the Chinese Calender (Those with auspicious &inauspicious predictions) and it shows that 16th of december is a good day for shifting house. What you need to remember is that a typical chinese calendar DOES NOT personalise to any one person. So it is a general date that is supposed to be good or bad for everyone. In general, there are two ways to check an auspicious date:- 1. Just do a quick lookup in a Tung Shu or Chinese Alamac, and pick the date that is deemed aus…

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: I heard 2 different things the first one is that i have to allign the bagua to the front door. the second is that i have to use real directions (north, southwest, etc) Which one is true? Actually, when you hang a bagua, the purpose is to help deflect the Sha Qi especially cutting into your main door or frontage. So you do not just hang it there just because someone tell you it is good. So once you understand the purpose of the bagua (ie to deflect sha qi), therefore you place it at the poition to help reflect the sha qi that is affecting you. You don't just place it at the door or at a position. You place it where it helps to delect the s…

Dear Alex, Frankly, I am not familiar with the Feng Shui consultants in Tokyo. Are there in the yellow pages or `word of mouth.' Usually, quite alot of Feng Shui practitioners I understand in Japan uses 9-Star Ki (both popular in UK also). As mentioned, 9-Star Ki and Traditional Feng Shui (or Flying Star is identical). However, the way it is done differs and thus, it is not advisable to `mix' the two as you may get different results. Either you follow 9-Star Ki or Flying Star. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi Cecil, Now that I know where the center of my house. I have a few more questions: 1) Is the direction for my bedrooms related to the house center? Example, my master bedroom is located in the southwest sector of the house and my master bathroom is located in the south sector of the house. Can I assume that my master bedroom faces southwest and my master bathroom faces south? 2) The master bedroom is right above 1/3 portion of the garage. Is that bad and what's the cure? 3) The master bathroom's toilet is right above the front door (which sits in the South "spook" sector and my gua number is seven). I know this is bad, but what is the cure for this? 4) My prosperity sec…
