What I wondered was, if most of the parts are made of glass (only one metal rod, and the rest are glass squares), does this make it more similar to the water element? Especially since it is in a blue color? Do the six glass squares represent the metal element because of the number 6? Would it be better to buy this style of wind chime in the purple color (fire element) so as not to add too much water to the wood elements 3 and 4 found in this sector? Or is the blue color ok because water and metal go together? If I bought one of the chimes with metal rods but not having the right number of rods (having, say, 3, 4 or 5 rods) what would be the effect of that? What is preferr…

Dear Kaushal, For a wind chime, it is advisable to purchase it with hollow rods rather than solid rods. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Liz, Thanks for sharing with us the information. In my opinion, I feel that what you mentioned is correct and a certain `vacuum' or `pressure' created during the period. I am equally no expert in this but, it is also my personal observation. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, I agree that some FS practioners may use wind chimes to attract wealth. However, the Buddhist and Toaist call the dead using bells. 1. It is best to avoid using metal wind chimes at West, North-West and North-East. West and North-West are of the Metal Element and Yin locations. North-East is traditionally the Devil's Gate and one may inadvertently attract imps or playful spirits as they may be attracted to the sound of the wind chime. 2. The above is the traditional reasoning or advice to take note. 3. Most of the time, due to human nature, we do tend to `over-eat' or go to extremes to purchase not one but many wind chimes. Normally, using our sixth sense, it i…

Dear Anon, Yes, placing too many wind chimes can indeed be an "over-kill" especially if one uses the light weight alluminium type of wind chime. For those using the much heavier copper (hollow rod) with an I-ching coin clinger, this type, in my opinion, makes almost few or no sound at all. (Even in heavy winds). Perhaps, some of these, (for decoration) is not an "over-kill" since they are (nearly totally ineffective in making large sounds). Why not consider planting plants or shrubs on the fence or use "day" curtains. Both are equally acceptable. "If it is not seen, it no longer becomes a threat:)" Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Tammie, 1. You can go the Free report tools at http://myfengshui.geomancy.net to use the Free Flying Star report. 2. Before you do this, you need to find out exactly what degree is your main entrance door direction. 3. You can use this site to find out exactly how to find the compass direction:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-cecilcompass.htm 4. Under the Free Flying Star House Report, it will tell you all the problem areas (if any). You can find out from the report whether there is any inauspicious sectors here. Usually if that sector is inauspicious, majority of the time, there is most likely an imbalance caused by bad earth or bad wood. In some of th…

Dear Yeow Leong, 1. Usually, a 6-rod metal (or aluminum hollow rod) wind chime can be used as a “cure” for Flying Star sectors that have imbalances, such as the numeral #5 or combinations involving it, or other sector imbalances. 2. Thus, I would assume that your FS practitioner has identified that location, or the two sectors (i.e. North and Northwest), as requiring a constant metal cure. 3. Here, the 6-rod metal wind chime represents “Big Metal,” which is used to constantly “hammer” a bad sector. 4. In my opinion, if your house was built in Period 7 (i.e. between 1984 to date), usually—based on my own analysis—the two areas that can use a wind chime …

Dear Alice, A windchime can be used without an attached crystal. A windchime can be used especially if it is used against a bad earth element i.e. #5 or bad earth / bad yellow. A windchime (especially if it metallic) can help to reduce the impact of the #5. If the porch falls under the influence of #5, then it can be used there. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Emily, In my opinion, it is acceptable to leave it there and not to remove the singular windchime. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wasis, Yes, even in the internet, it is very common to find a windchime with silver (hollow) rods of different lengths. Here, the top roof or the top support roof can be made of wood. And the `clinger' can be made of wood. It is best not to have red on the windchime. As you are correct to say that red (fire) will control metal and at the same time increase the bad earth element. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Usually, the significance of a windchime is not related to the Kua (Gua Number). Under Traditional Feng Shui, it is particularly commonly used at locations with #5 (misfortune) sector of the home. Especially if it is made of metal. The generation of metallic sounds is useful to neutralise #5. In your case, if you do rely on the above, can, at your own preference, try to find a place, in your home to place it. Warmest Regards, Cecil Lee

Dear Anon, 1. Often, before, we buy an object (of decoration) for the house, we would most probally searh our `minds' or (visualise) roughly where we want to place it. 2. We should ask ourselves, what is our `motive' of buying e.g. a metal windchime (4 rods) - hollow or solid. If it is for decoration in the home, as mentioned under Para 1, we normally should have some idea where we want to place it. But if it is for the purpose of trying to boost the luck.. frankly, I do not know when to begin .. especially, if it is like a `pot-luck' session and question asked is North South-East. 3. I would have to say that a 4 rod metal windchime is not a normal Traditional Feng Shui c…

Dear Sarah, 1. In Traditional Feng Shui, wind chimes need not necessarily meant to be hang in the north/north west part of the house. It depends. It depends on the individual FS audit done for the home. Usually, this is referenced to the Flying Star chart. 2. If we do not consider Para 1, or use intuition, or simply liked a wind chime and placed it at a location that we personally find suitable, it should be `non-intrusive' or should `fit' the location. A `commonsense' approach is that since the wind chime constantly touches your door, it should normally not touch the door. As this is also considered a `decorative' piece, it should blend with or harmonise with the locati…

Dear Shauuna, The alternative to "such a complicated" situation is to look to the basics of Chinese principles or concepts:. Most of the time, when we start reading books on Chinese principles and concepts, we will always find:- Uppermost level: Taichi Upper (branch) level : Yin and Yang concept Lower (branch) level: The Five elements concept. What you are trying to "meddle" or "fine tuning" is under the Five elements concept. In a "very complicated" case or sometimes we humans make it so..so ...so complicated... that doing something will impact on the other. Such as... "but I'm afraid that will boost the 9 giving fuel to the 5." There are two possibilities:- 1. Wh…

I realise the window is at the northwest side of our bedroom, though facing west.Our bedroom is in the northwest side of the house. From our bazi, I found that my husband, daughter & I (sharing)are in east group.Initially, we have it for the beautiful sound. I wonder will it affect us? Thanks. Yours, Anon

Dear Anthony, 1. Earth predominantly gives off sickness Qi. This is why #2 and #5 are predominantly bad earth elements. 2. If we look at a Chinese luo pan, we will notice that the outer shell is a rectangle. 3. While the inner is a rotating circle metal piece. As many of u know, circle represents Metal element. 4. A luo pan consists of: Outer square piece represented by the earth Inner metallic dial represented by Heaven. 5. In many of the cures, we therefore, see that Heaven Qi or Heaven Metal Qi is used to neutralise bad earth elements. 6. Therefore, metal, is the chief ingredient. Please see below:- To be effective:- 1. It must not those `play, play' type with so…

Dear Melanie, In my opinion, there is really not much one can do in such a situation. Usually, (but may not be feasible) in your case is the use of false ceiling or a poster bed with cloth covers over the top of the bed. Since this option may not be available, hanging a crystal, may make one `feel good' but thats all it can do. In traditional FS, besides this situation, one uses e.g. the Flying Star to analyse and if there are any imbalances, neutralise it to lessen any effects in the sector.

Dear Anon, In traditional Feng Shui, here are the following considerations for the main entrance door:- 1. It is not advisable to have an opened window above the main entrance door. 2. A proper main entrance door should be `solid' and Qi should not be made to come in above the window above the main entrance door. 3. In such a situation, the remedy is quite simple i.e. not to open the window above the main entrance. 4. Some FS Masters would even argue that under the "commonsence approach", a window e.g. without grilles could easily invite a thief to drop by. Although this is not Feng Shui but this is one reason given by some FS Masters. Other considerations: The main door …

We would like to place our bed with headboard facing the South East window wall. We have an idea (please see image) to: (A) use some chest of drawers to 'back' our headboard without having to sleep directly under windows or (B) have bed under window, headboard either lower than / covering part of windows. Both ideas, we will cover the window with wooden Venetian blinds with slats upwards. The windows are 3-panel, sliding, only the left-most panel is usually opened. Can the chests of drawers actually act as 'wall' or 'support'? Please advise A or B, or any other alternatives?

Dear Anon, This is a very good question. Generally, in my opinion, this is very common in the West. Especially, if there is a "lovely" bay-window just behind the bed-head. But locally in Singapore, this is often not a good idea for the following reasons. And these reasons are often "common-sense". In Singapore, majority of the homes are apartments (flats) or high-rise and it is often not too good an idea to have the bed-head against the window:- 1. Unfriendly neighbours! There are occassions where inconsiderate neighbours throw out cigarette butts and sometimes it may fall down into an open window. And if are beds are close to or next to the window, there can be a p…
