Dear Master, Just a general enquiry on door sizes and if there are any concerns. My main door is 7 ft high while I intend to install a sliding glass door separating the dry and wet kitchen. This however is 9 ft high. The location of the main door and sliding glass door is not aligned. However, I did heard that it is best to keep the main door as the biggest. As such, is it advised to reduce the height of the sliding glass door opening to 7 ft, with 2ft fixed glass panel? Or is it ok to still keep the glass door 9 ft high? Thanks and really appreciate the advice.

Dear Steven, For a clear glass or see thru glass, such as those in modern shopping units, can be threatened by a `poison' arrow from a distance. Frosted glass or opaque film, would do the `trick'. Here, if one cannot see, it no longer becomes a threat is `half-true' i.e. half-solved. The treat has still to be neutralised outside the building to take effect. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi, If I'm looking to lease an office in a high-rise commercial building, how do I determine which way the main entrance of the building should be facing and the main entrance for the suite or if I use the office window line? I don't really see anything online that mentions anything about it. I've been just comparing it to a high-rise apartment, but I'm not sure if that is the right way to do it. Please advise.

Hi, For 3 years I have lived in an old hotel that went bankrupt because of lack of customers. The hotel is half way up a mountain, and there are no shops or cafes around. There is a very old building close by which was the main hotel. It looks like a ghost hotel. The rooms have been remade into apartments. After I came here, my career and relationships have suffered. Could this be due to living in a hotel that was closed and made into apartments? There is a feeling of "stagnation". Cheers

Hi, I’ve been having a lot of bad luck (and I guess energy) since moving into this condo. Bad luck with my car, almost a bad accident, pet dog gets injured frequently, body aches, possible health issues, etc. just all very strange and coincidental since moving in here. This unit belongs to my partner and we cannot move out because of this, and structural changes aren’t possible. I noticed today that our balcony door faces right into a long street and coming from a family that believes in feng shui, I believe this is the cause of my sudden bad luck and energy since living here the last few months. Any tips on how to deflect the rushing bad energy into o…

Hi. I am new to this forum and to the idea of Feng Shui. And TBH, the more I read about it, the more confused I am. It just seems that there is no good bed placement in my bedroom. The room is pretty small and narrow, the window is more or less in the middle of the narrower wall and it's facing southeast. The door is placed opposite to the window, closer to the right side of the room. Also my Gua number is seven, so my head bed should be facing southwest but then I would be sleeping right between the window and the door... I just can't figure out what would be best in my case. Please help.

Dear Shifu, I realised that my main door faces the windows. Should I cover the windows completely to avoid loss of qi or the windows could remain closed?

missing SE sector

Dear Anon, 1. If your daughter has often has health problems, and staying all the time in your existing home, proper use of Feng Shui should be able to look at and diagnose the problem. 2. In my opinion, I also had a few cases, perhaps, one may call it a coincidence, but in these two homes, where there is a large missing corner at SE, and where, the couple had daugthers, -- perhaps, I have to say that it is a real coincidence... that it matched your situation. 3. In my opinion, the main concern is the missing corner. And it can be compounded by the wrong stars flying at the sector. Usually, the problem or issue here is the missing corner and it can be difficult to re-dre…

The 2 garage doors and driveway of this house face NE and the main street. However, the main entrance (front door) is on the side of the building, and faces S. Which is the direction of this house, NE or S?

Good day Master Lee, I would appreciate greatly if you can advice if this property is inauspicious. My first impression of this property is that it is on a corner + at the entrance of the cul de sac, and the land has a trapezium shape, which maybe unfavorable in terms of fengshui. Thank you.

Dear Elena, In the living room, it is ideal to activate water star than mountain star. Water star, as the name suggests implies clear space and thus, ideally, when one stands around the living room one should have a clear view of all areas of the room. Water star (clear space) is the opposite of mountain star. In addition, some people who are not aware, even may try to activate a mountain star at their front door! Here, it is like placing an `obstruction' at the front entrance. Usually, some portions of the living room has either windows or glass panels and large open area (which suits water star). One can still activate mountain star e.g. a painting in the living room e…

Hello Cecil, We are trying understand if we need to treat this apartment as two different FS BaGua or as one. They say If it's possible to group the kitchen and living room together, and the bedrooms and bathrooms together, then let this be demarcation. Its not possible with this floor plan. If you could please help or guide as how to treat this floor plan to apply the FS. Thanks.

Hello Master, I’m considering a southwest-facing flat. In front there is a tall building with a thin vertical structure that rises above the rooftop into a triangular point. The structure is flat and thin, with its broad side facing my flat (see photo). It is a little to the side — about two units away — so I can see it from the main door, but it is not directly perpendicular. The rooftop of that building is about the same height as my unit’s floor, while the vertical structure extends taller than my flat. May I ask if this is considered good or bad feng shui? Thanks!

RE: Trigram over a door

Dear Carrie, Thanks for your offer to look into the books. Personally I feel it is not necessary to do so. This is because, traditionally:- 1. A trigram should not be modified but rather based on the First Heaven Sequence Trigram. Ref: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/pakua.htm 2. In my personal opinion, modifying the Ba Gua trigram is a modern invention; perhaps invented by the author him/herself and have no basis in Traditional Feng Shui. 3. For Feng Shui books best to get books written by Traditional Feng Shui authors or if one prefer, 9-Star Ki authors. Where possible not to mix both methods. 4. Try to avoid books written by Black Hat Sect (BTB) authors. Where possible avo…

Binding Elements

Dear Kieren, 1. Ideally, the compatibility of two persons is good: normally one common binding element is sufficent. 2. However, there are many different combinations. As you have given an example: WEAK vs WEAK i.e. weak fire vs weak water. Here, the binding element would have to be two binding elements: wood and water element: where wood is a necessity here. Where wood must be need to strength the weak fire person and to offset the introduction of water for weak water person. With this two elements, it will form a combination flow i.e. water -> wood -> fire (flow). 3. Therefore, any of the permutations of: WEAK VS WEAK WEAK VS STRONG or STRONG VS WEAK STRONG VS S…

We just moved in, and our upstairs neighbors are going up and down the stairs all day in front of our window. I would estimate it's about 5 or 6 feet away from our left front window, which is a very large window. It's an apartment building with an unusual layout from the 1960's, and we were lucky to get one of the apartments with larger front windows. However, due to our unfortunate apartment placing in the building (there's 22 units), we both get the stairs - and being a corner unit - we also have people walking by in front of the other, equally sized rightward window as well on their way to the parking lot. The two front windows and front door take up nearly the…

I have a birch tree in front of my house, more to the South East. One third of this tree seems to be dead and some big branches are falling. Shall I cut it and remove the roots completely, shall I cut just the dead parts, shall I keep the stump hoping it will revive? Shall I plant another tree immediately after removing it? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Flying Feng Shui

Dear Kieren, Please see below:- If your main door is Big Earth, then water is wealth not fire element. However, since you are a weak fire person, it can be quite disasterous for you to apply water here. Unlike a strong fire person, water at this position is favourable. But in your case i.e. weak fire (before, you even try to do the above) you will be affected by the repercussions of "water" element at this position e.g. painting the door blue. In your situtation, you can still use a red carpet for two reasons: 1. Red is always considered an auspicious colour 2. The second reason may not be that effective as adding fire to `fire' although is acceptable; it is not as…

Taking compass direction
by Guest-

- 1 reply
- 801 views
Dear Carrie, 1. If one uses the ordinary compass, one should not be concerned about `holding' the compass at the North or South. What one needs to do is to take a compass reading from the centre-point of the house towards the main door. One should thus take the compass reading from the compass. 2. Your confusion will arise only if one uses the Chinese Luopan i.e. the compass needle is marked `from South to North' i.e. completely reversed from the ordinary compass. So the question asked is are you using a Chinese Luopan? 1. If no, there is no longer an issue here. 2. If you are using a Chinese Luopan, make sure you know how to use it first. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Brenda, Frankly, sometimes it is difficult to change the interior of the house especially the plumbing i.e. relocation of say the kitchen sink. We may have to live with such a situation. I believe that there is nothing more, in Feng Shui that we can do here. Other than, shift it away and make clear space. Warmest Regards, Cecil

FW: This block good?

Dear Ellen, The Kallang River canal seems to be slicing into the area where Blk 124 and the Macpherson constituency building makes this block so, so. Better unit is opposite of the canal. Since you mentioned that the canal will be covered, this is better. Since this is a point-block, where qi can flow all round it, this is a plus point. Overall, I would say that it is an `average' site. (However, still in general ok.) Warmest Regards, Cecil
