Dear Anon, I would like to seek clarification from you. I cannot recall having mentioned to keep the stove in NE or SW. Is it that you had read from somewhere? From what I can understand is that NE is the devil's gate while SW is considered the devil's backdoor. In this modern times, it is my opinion that although the stove is still important, there are more important issues to be addressed under Feng Shui. In other words, in light of the many other theories to look at and because houses are quite `compact' especially in the Far East, such as in Singapore and Hong Kong where mostly these are apartments of around 1,400 sq feet ( plus / minus ). In applied Feng Shui, it is …

Dear Jen, Please don't get too unduly worried about this. There are so many theories in Feng Shui. One reference point has to do with these: 1. Spirits - are (were) said to travel in a straight line. The thought is (was) that they cannot negotiate turnings. This is the rationale why, many bridges have curves or even some Feng Shui practitioners ask their clients to tilt their door at the NE. 2. Clue: The idea came about because: NE is suppose to be the location where spirits or ghosts come into our world i.e. the devil's gate. And it would be so convenient; (to enter our homes) if our main door happens to be the first door they see. BTW, they are said to be able to go thr…

Dear Anon, 1. Most of the time, Hong Kong practitioners use the Fish Tank (with goldfish) to neutralise sha qi. Such as to neutralise a lamp post which is considered the wood element (Because if one imagine a tree, it is tall and thin like a lamp post. 2. Usually, most of the practitioners should have an understanding of Flying Star theory. If so, they should be able to advise their clients whether or not, rocks (earth) may or may not be detrimental to a sector. 3. So they should be able to advise their clients when not to place rocks = earth at certain sectors. Because earth, if placed in a `Big Earth' or also called 5 yellow (because Big Earth = 5 and earth is yellow)…

Dear Anon, This is an interesting question. 1. Chinese have many Gods. Many of the `first' class Gods are often placed (if one notice carefully to `guard' the main entrance). Gods such as Goddess of Mercy etc.. are usually placed overlooking the frontage of the house. 2. Since the `kitchen' is usually behind the house, some Chinese also felt the need to protect the back of the house. Here, one can than better understand why the advice is always to have the `first class' Gods face a window or the main entrance door. Usually in the living room when one faces the windows, it most likely is the frontage of the house. Hope this helps to better understand the rationale for pl…

[Note: This message refers to the Sample Wedding Invitation cards, Chinese New Year cards that was posted recently to the conference: Photo Tours of Interest (with Pictures) This conference is not included in the mailing list but rather, one has to login to the forum to see them as it contains pictures etc..] Dear Anon, I agree with you. Why not red envelopes used. Red envelopes are also used. However, the `disadvantage' of using red envelopes is that if one tries to write on it, especially with blue or black ink, it is pretty hard to see. (I believe this is the main reason). Otherwise, red envelopes are acceptable. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Sorry, hope you can clarify futher as to where you had read where the phoenix and dragon are `kept' in the bedroom. So far, as I recall, I have not made the above remarks other than mention that they are symbols that some married couples use (embrodied) on their pillow covers. However, as the phoenix represents the Female and the dragon Male, they are sometimes embroided on pillow covers for `luck'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, I believe, Patalying Jaya refers to the area near or around Kualau Lumpur (the Capital of Malaysia). Malaysia's Cyber Hub is located around this location. Perhaps, this is why you may have heard of it. I am not sure if the spelling is correct or my description exact. But overall you can consider it as a location within Kualau Lumpur. Personally, there is not much significance in the area as compared to Penang, also a `district' of Malaysia where predominantly Chinese stay. You can treat Kualau Lumpur or Penang as equvalent of the definition such as Texas, New York in USA. But these locations are much smaller. If you are staying in Malaysia, perhaps ca…

Dear Anon, Lets look at it closely: 1. " North East and SW are Earth element locations." 2. To determine or check if a location is imbalanced, one has to use the Flying Star analsys instead of simply using the `cure' of "salt water". As you have correctly mentioned, salt water (salt) need not necessarily be the earth element. Perhaps, the author had visualised `grains' of salt as near equivalent to `grains of sand' representing earth element. I feel that one should not place salt water at NE and SW without any reason. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, The `lime/lemon' you mentioned is not the same as the one given as a gift. The one given as a gift is sometimes known as " Kimquat". -----------Again this is not FS----------- Chinese especially the young present two Oranges to the "elderly" during Chinese New Year is because oranges or mandarin oranges represent Gold. In Hokkien (Chinese dialect) Gold is called Kim. Similarly the `lime/lemon' tree you mentioned is orange in colour and represents Gold. On the other hand everything in Tradtional Chinese relates to Yin and Yang. Lime/Lemon is considered Yang as it is sour or bitter. As one should be aware, there must be a balance of Yin and Yang. Yin refers to…

Dear Anon, It is important to remember to display the coins even if they are binded together. They will still show the number of coins i.e. 6 coins. But, if we stack the coins together (exactly) and tie them together, you would only see `one coin' but a very thick one coin. Here, unless one goes closely to count them, it simples looks like ONE coin although it is rather `thick'. This is why, one must string the coins and at a glance, show 6 coins. Furthermore, the red (as in the red string) represents the "fire" element to bind or control "big metal". As some kind of a check (and balance). The red tassle and infinity knot are simply meant as decorati…

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, Thanks for bring up this question. Mr Chetan is a new member to this forum. It is never my intention to propose or publicise as far as possible solutions that involve `paid reports' available in this website. Also Pillars and Five Elements are `more' advanced subjects and is more `difficult' for a new user to digest. It is also good to relook at a relationship not based on Feng Shui as most cases, it is usually communication such as `listening ear' etc.. In my opinion, I believe that Mr Chetan is new, as some users are aware, we have users who `faithfully' login everyday or had read almost all the forum messages. While there are new users. It is difficult to …

Dear Anon, So far, I do not believe that anyone has painted their walls black. Black creates a dark environment. Contrast this with a white wash house that looks bright and clean. Therefore, there is some truth in the statement. Applying the 33.3 percent ruleset, other black objects or items should not be an issue here. For example, IBM products are all black. Their excellent IBM thinkpad notebook PCs, some high end PCs are all encased in black. Robert and myself, do use these black machines without cause for concern. Overall, one can also apply the 33.3 percent ruleset where less than 33.3 percent is not going to affect a person. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Usually these sha qi are `commissioned' without any intention to hurt other buildings. For example, the hanging mobiles I shown under the conference Picture Tour - is owned by Singapore Airlines. It happens to be their Office building. I believe the shape of the hanging mobiles represent the `movement' of clouds etc... It is good for you to point out this information. The morale of this `story' that under the Shapes and Form School, we must constantly scan the environment near us (our home/office etc...) for such threats. Many a times, a new construction next to e.g. your office space may inadvertently (either intentionally or unintentionally) bring sha qi (poi…

Dear Anon, Red is considered an auspicious colour. For example, Chinese wedding invitation cards are in red (usually with a Phoenix and Dragon Graphic/design on the cover). During the Chinese New Year, it is common to find a red cloth banner with auspicious words hung over the main entrance door. Other examples of the use of red include: red fire crackers used during Chinese New Year. Many years back when fire crackers were not banned in Singapore, you will find houses literally littered with the exploded red fire cracker paper all over the compound. In addition, it is common to have the Double Happiness symbol (in red) hung in the house. The "Fu" word with red backgroun…

Water in the west is bad because: 1. The west is a yin location 2. Water will make west even more yin, thus creating an imbalance. 3. During period 7, even if you have #7 water star, water is bad as it can cause loss of wealth. So, during period 7, no water in the west, unless you want to experience financial problems. Glyn

Dear Bri, 1. You can see the interpretation of "missing" corners or protusions under the url:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/building.htm 2. Frankly, it is difficult for me to comment on non-traditional Feng Shui information as mentioned by your message with regards to career wall ... my front door etc... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mac, There are two sides of the coin to this:- 1. Naturally from a Feng Shui point of view - under symbolism, it is not favourable to display animals such as wolves. In the Chinese history, wolves are not revered because these animals are considered as both cruel and greedy. In addition, a wolf-in-sheep's clothing is also considered as a lecter or sex-stalker. 2. However, in many other countries or customs, it is perfectly alright to have (in the past) rug skins. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Usually, changing the angle of the front door is only "temporary". This is because, the entire building "frontage" is fixed. And often, tilting the door may not bring significant results. As ultimately the "frontage" or actual facing direction of the home remains the same. 2. If Flying Star Feng Shui has been applied, usually a Feng Shui practitioner will try to advise on ways to "disarm" especially "loss of wealth stars" such as #5 (misfortune, sickness) and #3 (Lawsuits, quarrels, conflicts, scandals). 3. If there are further opportunities, one may consider placing a water position in the home to tap good wealth or activate a mountain position. SANDHAYA M. wrote: …

Dear Sam Yeong, Sam Yeong wrote: Iintend topaint the walls of my bedroom which is located at the west sector of the house.Can you enlighten meifthe Grand Duke (Tai Sui) will be disturbed? Grand Duke is usually affected by major renovations especially any hacking works etc. Although, paintings are not as major, it still does consider as a renovation. Best thing to do is simply just offer a little prayer to Grand Duke apologising for disturning him before you start work and probably choose a good date also. These should minimise any impact of offending the Grand Duke especially to the owner of the home. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center …

Please refer to my last posting. It is best to check back with the person whom you have consulted. As this involves someone has to make an effort to prepare and analyseone's birth-date etc.. For example, your posting is identical to similar to these:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Feng_Shui_Triage You question is like: you skipped the triage and run in to see a doctor. And the question asked is: How am I? You have skipped: the nurse section where often, the nurse would find out more and do some tests like taking the temperature and/or check blood sugar levels and/or get some blood samples for testing. One can't just skip all these and ask: How I am? My advice is; since …
