Please see below:- 1. Once a Flying 1. The Flying Star chart is valid (can be applied to this particular home only). 2. If you do not make any major renovations; this same Flying Star Chart is still applicable after the year 2003 e.g. year 2030 etc... 3. Once you do a major renovation: For example in the year 2005; you did a major renovation, then the house comes under the ' Flying Star " of the Period 8. (Currently 1984 to 2003 comes under Period 7), where if you notice the flying star chart, 7 is in the centre. 2. No you cannot use the same chart to assess your office environment unless the main entrance door is EXACTLY the same location as your existing h…

Dear Kay, 1. Placing the figurines in the living room is indeed the most common location. 2. In my vast experience visiting Chinese homes, I have observed that the Fu Lu Shou figurines are typically placed on a display table, often on an open shelf. This practice is widely followed. 3. Placing the figurines under a waterfall is not a common tradition. 4. While some may pour virtual water on the figurines, I personally do not recommend this as it is best to stick to traditional customs. 5. It is crucial to ensure that the figurines are not placed below a beam and to adhere to other guidelines such as avoiding placement on the opposite wall of a toi…

Dear Anon, You can view this actual picture of a building in Singapore that is named Fu Lu Shou. It has the three deities or figurines: http://my.geomancy.net/mypictures/cgi-bin/imagefolio.cgi?direct=Buildings/Commercial_Buildings/Fu_Lu_Shou If you see the pictures carefully, Fu Lu Shou is `displayed' on the external wall from left to right i.e. Shou or Longetivity is on the far left. (This is where you stand in front of the building.. looking at the building). In the same instance, the figurines should be displayed from left to right. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Fu Lu Shou figurines are not traditionally part of Feng Shui, but their popularity has led to frequent recommendations for their placement in homes. 1. They are typically displayed on one side of a cabinet, facing into the living room. 2. Avoid placing them where they face a toilet. 3. They should not be on the same wall as a toilet. 4. Do not place them in bedrooms. 5. Avoid positioning them in the kitchen. 6. These guidelines are rooted in the belief that Fu Lu Shou represent deities and should be treated with respect. 7. Suitable locations include the living room, such as overlooking a window or facing the sofa. 8. If you have an alta…

Hi Master, Will be shifting house soon but had a hard time to decide where to build an altar for Kuan Yin in my new place. Hope can seek ur help in it. Is there anything I need to observe when shifting Kuan Yin to new location? I read in your forum that we need to consume vegetarian on the day of shifting as well as the day before. Another thing is that I have some items of Feng Shui from my current house, is it advisable to bring over to my new place or leave them for the new owners?

Hi Master, I would like to seek your advise in the placement for the altar at my new home. The place I have in mind is the one positioned at A, but understood from other threads that you would advise deities like Guan Gong for main door positioning instead. Could you please advise where is a suitable place that I can place the altar table? I am only intending to put a Buddha figurine. Look forward to your advice and thank you master. James

Dear Master Cecil, is there a guide of such that the altar table is "too far" from the main door that I should build a solid wall in order to have the altar closer to the main door? The altar will be praying to Guan Yin and Guan Yu. Its about 14 feet versus 25 feet. Behind the wall of the altar, other than a bed what else I should look out for to avoid?

1. In my opinion, it is always good to do some research rather than depend frequently on "spoon feeding" info as a frequent forum user. 2. For example, the bigger picture includes the concept of "sum of ten", "pearl string". Which is part of some of these SW1 or NE1 flying star combinations. And the concept that there is no such thing as a perfect home in every way. 3. If you have gone thru some of my past messages, I have also warned of ill but correctable health e.g. for NE or SW homes.

Hi, 1. It is important to remember not to change the Ba Gua during the Hungry Ghost Festival. Off hand, I did not check the calendar but I think for this period i.e. 11 August to 9 September, this is the 7th month or Hungry Ghost Festival. Avoid changing the Ba Gua during this period. 2. To dispose of the faded Ba Gua, one effective way is to wrap it up in old news papers. You should tie it up with a string or rafia or even using scotch tape. This will do. Next, bring it out to the dustbin and throw it away. Warmest Regards, Cecil

As per my last msg; the centrepoint that you had drawn is pretty close to what I had drawn. And the arrow from bedroom 2 seems to be the correct direction of the facing direction. For the rest, you have to work it out yourself.

Dear Master Lee, Could you advise if a house situated on a gentle 'V' shape road is fine? Some say it is best to be on a flat road. Is it fine for a house (not the last unit) to be situated along a dead end?

1. The origin of the FIXED TEMPLATE BAGUA model originated from this infamous person: Lin Yun. 2. You can read this article extract from this website about the Confessions of Lin Yun:- [ URL link no longer exists ] Appended by Cecil Lee in 2020: Apologies, Please understand that this article was written in 2009 = many years ago. 3. The fixed template Feng Shui is considered by many Traditional Feng Shui practitioners as too static a model. 4. This fixed template bagua - does not take into consideration both: Shapes and Forms Feng Shui and Compass School Feng Shui. 5. Under the Compass School Feng Shui: there is the E…

Further to what I had mentioned earlier:- 1. In this real world of today; to make sense; it is best for an individual to focus on the micro-level. 2. There are two levels: macro and micro. 2.1. Macro refers to the industry one is in. 2.2. Micro is about analysing what is one's MAIN or CORE job function one is hired to do. Thus, for a sales executive; the primary job is to close deals or sales = fire element. 3. Otherwise, some wise guy can argue about your job all day, all year long and still cannot come to the conclusion : what element your job is. 4. Anyway, as mentioned in the last message; many perform multi-skilling. And in today's real world, one's element can be mo…

Dear Rich, Please see below:- ----- Original Message ----- From: "pillars-of-destiny Listmanager" To: Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2000 7:21 AM Subject: Bed placement and opposing doors and windows The concept here is to get Qi to meander slowly circulating into the room. The most effective method is as you mentioned is to use a screen closer to the door area so that Qi that comes in thru the main entrance can slowly meander into the house. - Usually this is the best method. The screen in such a situation need not be full height but it should at least cover 3 quarters of the door (height). There are other alternatives like closing this side of the window so that Qi do…

Hi Master Cecil My unit has a layout almost similar to Lawrence's one. In Lawrence case his unit has a balcony whereas mine is a lanai. So it only has windows rather than an exposed balcony. So in this case I wonder if it is discouraged to have the altar place in lanai area considering it doesn't have balcony features? Thank you.

Dear Lindsey, To test whether the power pole is a threat, stand at your main door or the window. And look out of it. If the power pole is tangent to or seem to slice thru the main entrance door or a window, then this is a threat. Else if one can still see the power pole but it does not seem to slice thru the main door (directly) then there is no threat. I.e. the power pole must be seemed to be slicing thru the main door or window. If the power pole is diagonal then there is no threat at all. For the property line, if you have a fence or a bush, then this would be better. Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. graphic illustration of " No threat zone "

Dear Master Lee, Many thanks for your fast and most helpful response. Regards, Soh Peter Yes, the centrepoint shown is correct. 2) I have a fish tank with 8 gold and 1 black fish. Is the fish tank shown at the right location? If not, where is the best location? Locally, some Feng Shui practitioners often recommend that if there is a fish tank, it is often placed; close to the main entrance door. As shown under the attachment Marking A under the file: fishtank.jpg (This is strictly looked at only from a Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. Sometimes, the practitioner may recommend placing it at Marking B (in the living room or around this area). Please note that often, the abov…

Dear Jeanette, Yes, it is preferred that a water feature does not face the main entrance. This is because, this is symbolic of wealth flowing out of the home. If you intend to install a granite wall feature, try to avoid a highly polished granite or marble wall. Since if it is reflective, it is like a mirror. Where under Feng Shui, a mirror facing a main door is not favourable since, it is considered as even before 'wealth" or qi comes into the home, it is deflected out of the home. (Under commonsense approach to Feng Shui, a highly polished granite wall -- is not favourable. Since, once we enter the home, we may --inadvertenly (while in deep thoughts) see an "image"…

In my opinion, this is not recommended. However, it is still allowable for a roof above the altar; much like an enclosed cabinet for practical reasons: to try and contain some of the "stains" from lighting up the joss sticks.
