Dear Anooja, Frankly, there are many concepts in Feng Shui, so it is ultimately important to understand which one is more important for what situation. 1. Most important for a house is to fix all poison arrows (sha qi) usually the shapes and form concept. 2. Try to balance up all Flying Star inbalances in the house. 3. Try to ensure that colour scheme are suitable to person sleeping in that bedroom, but at the same time colours to be extra careful are like Wood / Earth colours which may inadvertantly activate the bad flying stars. 4. Of course it is ideal to harmonise all the cures, but certain cures takes priority helps you know when to do what. If you follow the a…

Dear Anna, As a weak earth (assuming that this is your true element), wood is not good for you. Metal (especially strong metal) is not good for a weak earth as it exhausts the weak earth. However, if your true element is strong earth, then this would change what was mentioned above. So if we take the above as your unfavourable element. Thus it means that this period is not a favourable period for you in your Pillars of Destiny. If you translate into events this means that things you like to do may end up not as what you wanted. However, take note that by your reference to a period dominated by strongest metal, I am assuming that you are refering to say the 10 year period.…

Dear Master Cecil, I did a search in your forum about Flying Star Feng Shui. Because I was confused about the Period 8 chart vs 2004 chart. My house is facing NW3, however the main door is in the W grid, is this possible / did I chart it correctly??? (The main door is to the left side of the house) My N sector for Period 8 is mount 2, base 4 and Water 4. From this combination of 3 number, it seems that (According to Lilian Too) this will bring disharmony and arguments with spouse and in-laws. Of course I would not want this to happen, but I though the no 4 is the romantic star and the 2 is an illness star, what has it got to do with arguments? Same N sector for 2004 is th…

Hi Edwin, edwin tay wrote: I would like to find out how should I balance the 3 elements of my work desk with Earth, Wood, Water, Metal, Fire? Also, as I'm a weak wood and the fire element in me is quite high, does the'fire' ornament I use to balance my desk increase my 'fire'? One should always rememeber that in Feng Shui, there are always important and least important cures. For example to improve a person luck, the main luck comes from the Home (ie a suitable house element), followed by career (ie sutiable career), and followed by other areas such as colours (of your bedroom, car, clothings etc). As long as you get the above right, even if your work area isn't complet…

Dear Jonathan, In Feng Shui, one can either access one's unit or the entire facing of the unit's block (or frontage). Usually, for a unit such as yours, it is best to look at your main door only and not the building's main entrance. Please see below:- But, if your balcony forms part or is " within " the house, then it should be taken into the 9 grid. You can do a search for the word " condo " and there are many case studies especially under the conference: Photo Tours of Interest (with pictures). You should be able to find several resources on condos. Do use the SEARCH feature in this forum to narrow down your search field. If you have any layout plan that …

You wrote: Nowadays, many apartments (HDB or private development) comes with balcony or planter. Would like to seek your advice if these areas need to be brightly and well lit at night or is it OK to leave these areas unlit at night? These are some considerations: 1. In my opinion, contrary to what you had written; in fact, long time ago as far as 1968 onwards; many apartments do have either a balcony or the many thousands of 1 room and 3 room HDB a COMMON corridor. This includes the HUDC flats and private flats. 2. Especially these common corridor is a "cheaper" form of balcony; but they are still some form of a corridor cum balcony. 3. Even today, many HDB blocks ha…

Dear Cecil, Thanks for being a wonderfully helpful guy that you are! Really appreciate your patience! I do have a few more questions with regards to my master bedroom and my balcony (because of this taiwanese fengshui show that brings up alot of scary stuff). First of all, Balcony. It seems that the balcony is supposed to be the career area of the owners of a house (or something like that), thus one should not make changes to the balcony (or sorts). Question: However (please see diagram below), since ours has kinda been removed into a living room extension cum cosy corner of sorts, is there a problem then? What rectification can we do? Should one really usually…

Hi Kelvin, Generally, even without looking at feng shui, you can easily tell which area in Singapore are better by looking at where most of the landed properties or high value properties are located. These are often the prime areas in Singapore. Every house or apartment is unique at every location, it isn't right for us to make any form of comments unless a full analysis is done to check on the luck of the house itself. I no matter which location there will be some good and bad units. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee GEOMANCY.NET - Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Hi Master Lee, Recently, I have seen many a home or office planting Bamboo outside there premises. Most of the bamboo plant are spaced equally apart. According to some articles you wrote in 2000, you do not recommend planting bamboo tree due to the difficulty to maintain the plant. My question is if this trend is related to the year of the pig ? Would you recommend planting abamboo tree for home. Where are should the tree be planted ? Thanks!! Rgds, Andrew.

Dear Angela, Apologies, if I side-track a-bit... Two years back, after buying my new home, I grew a bamboo tree. The rationale for bamboo tree was that I calculated, within two years, it would be useful. The reason was because my new house has a personal enclosed space. Althought the house is perfectly suited to me i.e. most suitable house under the Eight House and it also has a double `7' flying star in the current Period 7. Although it is considered an excellent house; like my previous home, it can have a fair share of `poison arrow(s)' that may need to be corrected. Just nice, when I shifted in end of last year, this bamboo tree was there to `cover' or protect my livi…

There are various varieties of bamboos. These bamboos were recently planted at the newly T.O.P. condo : Livia at Pasir Ris. Unlike trees that have a single tree trunk; bamboos grow and multiply in clusters. Some matured bamboo clusters are much thicker than the one shown in the photos. As bamboos contain pockets of "spaces" or "air"; just imagine, if the bamboos were not properly maintained, e.g. cut-off partially, it could easily contain or rather retain stagnant water. And thus as a result become breeding points for mosquitoes.. In many situations, snakes.. may take refuge also in the undergrowth of bamboo stocks.. Again, the above explaination; is based purely on: Com…

Dear Anon, 1. Pictures with bamboo as part of the background is quite a common feature. 2. For example a painting with Pandas invariably does have bamboo at the backdrop of the picture. 3. Other pictures such as a scenery of a man fishing and the backdrop of bamboo shoots in the background is equally common. 4. Some other pictures, also contain monkeys, birds with bamboo trees at the background. 5. I am not sure if I got what you mentioned correctly i.e. is the painting or picture soley on bamboos? No other objects or animals within the picture/painting. 6. Each picture or painting should be viewed on a case-by-case basis and it is difficult for me to comment on the short…

Dear Eunice Mummy, EUNICE MUMMY wrote: hi,iheard bamboo is good in feng shui soibrought a pot of artificial bamboo( about 7 feet)and some plants to be placearound it, the exact position i placed is facing the main door.Is that all right ? Please advise Generally, if you see when you stand at your main door looking out, then it may pose as a problem if it the plant is on it's own as it may be like a lone tree/lamppost. However, if the plants you place around it break the shape of the bamboo so that it is no longer a lone lone sharp thin bamboo, then it should be ok. For example, if you placed many many plants together as a group, then even if there is a bamboo, it looks…

Dear Brenda, Usually, the specific sector is looked at before, providing comments i.e. particularly using Flying Star to check on the elements at that sector with the hope that it is balanced. Paying `homage' to a sector i.e. North = career may not be the right thing to do. However, in my opinion, you can at best take it as interior decor for your home i.e. feel nice with the 3 plants at that area? Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. The best method is to plot a flying star chart of a home. And use this flying star chart to analyse each sector. 2. For example, if a sector has a water star #3, then this is considered as a bad wood element and planting bamboo or plants can even further create "harm". As #3 is associated with scandals, conflicts, lawsuits. The above is just one simple illustration to show that it is more prudent to apply Flying star in such a situation. Not withstanding, the dragon and tiger etc...

1. Usually indoor plants are often waxy and darker green colour. These are the most suitable indoor plants. 2. There are at least three very common bamboo plants. The advantage of bamboos are that they are very hardy and some varieties grow very well indoors with little maintenance. 3. Symbolically, to the Chinese, bamboo represents "youth" and when combined with some other characters could mean "longevity". 4. So long as the plants does not have thorns; they are generally acceptable although preference is on the porch and often not found in the interior of the home.

In my opinion, often the "fear" is the reverse. Most good bank practises avoid being e.g. directly below an apartment building. In fact, if the bank does have safe boxes; there were instances in the past where the alarms were set off; until it became too much of a false alarm until during the weekend; someone tunnelled from the top floor into the safe vault of the bank branch. Equally possible for a bank with commercial building above. Otherwise, tell me, what is so negative about it? Unless it is a restaurant ... which is worse?

Hi Bob, 1. There are two views regarding the porch: - It should not be included with the house. - Some other practioners are unclear as to include it or not and `play' safe by including it as part of the home. 2. In my opinion, you should not include the porch to the house. If you do not include it as part of the house and find that there is no longer an indent, then it is fine. 3. Frankly, so far there are few practioners who uses such a technique i.e. placing a Ba Gua at the indent to offset the missing corner. In my opinion, it is ineffective to use a Ba Gua mirror to offset the indent i.e. it will not work. One way to offset the indent is through landscaping if this i…

Dear Siew Foong, The following need to be considered:- 1. Does the Qi flow from the front e.g. window or main door and exits directly at the back? If so, it would be good to place a partition or screen to manipulate the Qi flow to allow it to meander slowly in the house. The above is one of the considerations for doing `interior' decoration in the home. 2. Under Flying Star Feng Shui The following items are looked at:- 2.1 What type of material is one using for the bar counter? Or materials e.g. glass/wine etc... Here, Flyings Star analysis is usually done to check on any imbalances at a sector. For example, if the sector in question is one where we should avoid adding `w…
