Hi Alex, I was told that people living in N-S or S-N houses usually do have the eye-related problem. So far I have encountered some cases including you here. Coincidence? I don't know..maybe Robert or Cecil can enlighten us. Thanks.

Hi Cecil Shifu, Thank you so much for your reply. Your advice has given me some peace of mind. Knowing the pro & con of the partition, I now know what precaution to take if I proceed with it. Our children will have their own room and thus, I can place our own bed slightly further away from the stagnant area and hope to get better air ventilation. Good to have pointed out the bed head in bedroom 2 to me. We will shift it further from the point where we will place our TV in master bedroom.

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: # My sister picked up a small statue of the lion (as in Singapore harbour). But should this actually be displayed in the house? Generally, any fierce animal tends to have very strong yang or sha Qi. If you really like the item as a beautify decorative items, do go ahead and place it wherever it makes the place nice and feel good. However, if you are planning to put it just because of feng shui. Then my advise is to keep it.

Dear Anon, 1. The general consensus amongst the majority of Feng Shui practitioners is as you had mentioned "place our bed,with the headboardpointing at ourfavourable direction ". 2. This is often the most commonly practised method of defining the above. Thus the saying "head first, not legs first". 3. This saying "head first, not legs first" also associated with the Chinese belief that if we need to bring e.g. a person using a stretcher out of a home or bedroom, we should bring his "head first, not legs, first". Legs first implies bring out a coffin or coffin, position. 4. Of course, there are a FEW Feng Shui practitioners who say that favourable direction is opposit…

1. In my opinion, this has more to do with SYMBOLISM then Feng Shui. 2. It origins is that in the past; the deceased would be brought home during the funeral. 2.1. And the body will be displayed such that the LEGS will face the entrance. This is based on pure common sense. As when it is time for the funeral procession, the coffin will be loaded legs first into the hearse. 3. Thus as mentioned above, it has more to do with the "Chinese" thing or Chinese custom or belief to avoid sleeping with the legs facing an OPENING such as the bedroom door or even the sliding window. 4. IF you are not a Chinese, perhaps, and if you are not as supertitious, no need to be TOO concerned.…

Thanks for your advice. But I am still at a loss as to where I am going to put the furnitures. I am a west person, and I am attaching an MS Word file to show you my apartment's layout (pretty much drawn to scale). The sliding glass doors lead out to a patio which overlooks the swimming pool. I was thinking of putting the desk against the kitchen's counter so it has the view of the pool, but that will make me face east, which is the direction of death. Plus, there really isn't much room in the layout so that I could avoid putting the desk in the center of the room. Any suggestion will be very much appreciated.

One has to be careful of the compass marking. As sometimes a sector may straddle between two sectors. In general, it looks more like a protusion. If so, look up at the chart I provided earlier.

1. The holistic method is to maximize the three main luck factors: 1.1. Heaven Luck - the question you asked lies within this area 1.2 Earth Luck - Feng Shui of your home and even office surroundings 1.3 Man or Human Luck 2. What you had mentioned earlier that your five element breakdown shows that you have zero water, zero wood etc... this is often "corrected" by some parents or grand parent going to a geomancy to try to get a CHINESE name balanced to or harmonised to the person. As you are aware some people change their name later part of their life perhaps as their parent did not have the luxury of checking out one for them earlier in life. 3.For a strong yin metal,…

Dear Master, Thank you for your free online tool to help us determine the move in date for a new house. My partner and I would like to move into our new house on 18 Mar 2021. Based on the Chinese 生肖，I’m Chicken and she’s Monkey. We are also both born in the year 1981. From the online tool, we don’t see 18 Mar as an auspicious date. However, due to limitations, may we ask if we can move on this date (I.e. staying over night at our new home). Thank you for your advice, Master.

Hi, There is a graphics of an upside down FU at this URL: http://www.geomancy.net/on/destiny.htm Chinese usually hang an upside down FU symbol on their doors for luck! As for FOOK, this word `translated' in " English " and not the true Romanised form is too generalised to know what the word is. So unable to comment further. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Michael, In my opinion, Traditional Feng Shui Schools do not practise fixed Ba Gua template or `Black Hat Sect' Feng Shui. Try to do a SEARCH in this forum for `Black Hat' and you can find out the answers why it is not applied here or by any other Traditional Feng Shui Schools. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Hurbert, 1. Under Traditional Chinese system:- Ba Zi is used to determine name selection. For example, if a person lacks water... a geomancer may recommend that the person have a Chinese character with the "water or shui" element in their name. In addition, Ba Zi is used widely to determine Ming or Luck and other uses includes logo selection etc.. Ba Zi uses the Five Elements Concept to determine one's element and strength e.g. strong water, weak water etc... In addition, when we look at a home we apply Compass School of Feng Shui: Eight House and Flying Star Feng Shui. 2. Purple star is actually "9" numbers or commonly called "9 Star Ki. It has more to do with…

Dear Danni, Is there a cure for sick houses? 1. It depends on how much renovation has taken place. 2. Since I don’t have a complete picture of the changes from the original layout, it’s hard to say if there’s a cure. 3. In my grandpa’s case, the only solution was to tear down the house and rebuild it. 4. From your description of major work done on the ground level, it might be a similar situation—especially if the top part of the house was changed, made too heavy, or disturbed. 5. My grandpa’s experience clearly shows that “Flying Star” or “Compass School” Feng Shui would not be effective in such cases. 6. For those who rely only on Compass…

A row of bush rather than a partition of trees would be a better choice. If you are using trees, they usually end up growing tall and `beyond control' after 3 to 4 years. And a row of trees need to be planted spaced out at least 2 to 3 feet from each other. Depending on the type of tree, they often leave behind a huge area of shadow below the tree making the area, too yin. Contrast this with lower shrubs or bushes or simply, creepers on fencing which are much easier to maintain. Since the water tanks are covered up often this is no longer a major issue. Warmest Regards, Cecil

This has more to do with common sense (first). In the remote sense that especially if the sewerage pipe leaks; hopefully it does not drip on someone going thru the back door. From my personal past experience; many older homes that are considered Feng Shui safe also have a similar situation where the toilet is just above the middle of the back yard area. But often, the back door, though is not directly below this toilet. The backdoor is somehow to one side of the back yard area. Thus this may be different from what you had described. If one knows how to plot the Flying Star numbers; then determine what are the flying star numbers at this back door area. Thus usually after …

Master Cecil, Thank you for your prompt reply. As I am a male yin wood OX with 5 earth , 3 wood , missing water, fire and metal. As I am not well versed in Feng Shui and I gather from your sample that I can increase my unfavourable elements to compensate the missing ones in my ba zi reading and reduce earth and wood colours . Is that correct ? Thank You Mike .

1. In my opinon, what you mentioned is based on this category of Feng Shui: "Symbolism in Feng Shui'. 2. What is considered inauspicious especially when opening the main entrance door; one can see the staircase.(The main implication is that of the staircase leading DOWNWARDS). 3. Here, it implies that wealth is drained away from the main doorand due to gravity, dain downwards towards the staircase and down, down, down. 4. For this very reason, is wheremany seem to believe that it is inauspicious. 5. Of couse, one can argue that a staircase is meant for going up and down. But, the fact that it "flows" down is the mother of all greviances. 6. There is no hard or fast rule. …

Dear Da Wang, Da Wang wrote: Tell me the difference in the topic title and why the calculation to other website too. Generally, there are two ways to look up an auspicious date. 1) One method is by looking up the Tong Shu. Which is basicallyan alamac of events that is created to let you know generally how the day is in relation to the year. This is general assesment without personalising the dates to any individual. This means that say 10 Jan is determined to be an auspicious date for wedding. This means that the date is generally it is good for wedding for everyone on this planet. However, noteveryone will find that day good, simply becauseindividually, the d…

Thank you, Master Lee, for your reply. I will let you know how it goes. Am getting ready to place new staircase, and needed to know info. I have not used the Luo Pan before, just an ordinary compass (am a skilled forester so can use a compass easily) I was confused because the book had a person standing inside the house facing out the main door holding the compass, then a few page later showed the person standing in front of the house, facing the front door, holding the compass toward the front door! So you can see my confusion. I use your website very much, and also really enjoyed the auspicious day reading. I would like to eventually take classes from your site and gai…

Dear Al, Please see below:- Please note that Eight House cannot be used as a cure as the Eight house does not relate to the Five Elements Concept. There need not necessary be a cure for devil's gate. As mentioned earlier, the Eight House cannot be used to implement changes or `cure' imbalances. Although you have mentioned the #2 and #5 as base numbers, I have also mentioned that #2 and #5 relating to water and mountain star has to be considered. And this has to be analysed in relation to each other. Without, the full picture, and what are the imbalances at each sector, I am really unable to properly advise you. It is not advisable to use Gua (Kua numbers) / E…
