Hi Cecil, Now that I know where the center of my house. I have a few more questions: 1) Is the direction for my bedrooms related to the house center? Example, my master bedroom is located in the southwest sector of the house and my master bathroom is located in the south sector of the house. Can I assume that my master bedroom faces southwest and my master bathroom faces south? 2) The master bedroom is right above 1/3 portion of the garage. Is that bad and what's the cure? 3) The master bathroom's toilet is right above the front door (which sits in the South "spook" sector and my gua number is seven). I know this is bad, but what is the cure for this? 4) My prosperity sec…

Dear Cecil, Thanks for your reply. Would like to clarify some things: * The trees planted have about 8-10 ft. distance between them. Also, I planted them in the first place because there was way too much sunlight coming in and the rooms facing that side used to get very hot. These trees also do not have dense foliage. Is it still a problem area? Before planting them, do not think I slept any better. Then all that desolate muddy space used to bother me. * The plants inside the halls are small plants - money plants, spiders - in small containers. The bigger plants are outside the hall windows on the ledge. * About the water bodies, if you mean bathrooms, etc., I have tried …

In your opinion, how can we neutralize the threats? As I mentioned, I have bought all your ebooks, I understand it might be much to ask for in the free advice section, and if the ways of neutralization can be found in the ebooks, please point me to the direction so that I can read up on them.

Dear Chris, There are two considerations under "Feng Shui" i.e. 1. Symbolism under Shapes and Forms FS 2. Commonsense approach to Feng Shui 1. Under Symbolism in Feng Shui, it is considered a disadvantage to have a knife or sword hanging or placed or displayed in the living room. As this is symbolic of quarrels or disharmony. 2. Under Commonsense approach Just like guns with live bullets lying in the home. This can be assessed wrongly by young children or a parent or family member who is quick tempered or used by intruders into a home. Generally, as you had mentioned, it is best to keep or display the sword in a specific room e.g. your study room. And if possible, …

Dear Shinta, In real life:- Huo-lu actually is the Chinese word for a stove be it a modern or olden stove. While in romanized Mandarin, there is no such thing as wou-lou. It might have being either wrongly spelt as referred to the above "huo-lu" or are you referring to a "hu lu"? A hu lu is actually known as "bottle gourd". Traditionally used by many practitioners to neutralise sickness stars e.g. #5 or #2. For example, some FS practitioners may require one to place a bottle gourd ( hu lu) next to the bed to "suck away " sickness? Thus of these bottle gourds have a cap some do not. And many have wordings on the bottle gourd(s). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Hoa Luong, This has more to do with commonsense approach to Feng Shui. For example, in Malaysia, it was felt that a corner lot on a quiet side of the street could attract thieves. However, nowadays with modern deterence such as motion sensor lighting, mimic dog barks and alarm systems, it makes it much harder for anyone to violate the property without a warning. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sophia, There are generally three meanings associated with birds:- 1. Longevity Paintings usually with white birds signify longevity. And thus one of the connotation can mean that "100 birds signify living to" guess what age? 100 years! Imagine! even by today's standard, living to a ripe age of81 or 91 years canalready be difficult for majority of us. Not say until 100! Thus, I strongly believe, a painting with 100 birds (usually whitecoloured bird such as cranessimply signify this. 2. The Phoenix 2.1 In many traditional wedding cards; one can find a motif on the invitation card with a Phoenix and dragon motif. The phoenix represents (female - bird or yin), wh…

Hi Cecil, Thank you so much for your FS considerations on water items. I've bought a small water fountain because I just love having one in my living area. The sound of flowing water in the fountain gives me a relaxing feeling and somehow a sense of invigorating energy in the mind. In terms of personal strength, I'm a strong earth person. My wife is a weak water person. I know that earth clashes with water. Does it mean the presence of a water fountain may have some negative affects for a strong earth person like myself and somehow affect my business decision making? I believe that water in FS is an extremely important issue. Therefore I'm reluctant to use it without some…

Dear Cecil Thank you so much for your quick reply. I may have given you the wrong information by attaching a 9-grid chart earlier. In fact, if measuing the main door from the centrepoint of the house, it is still within the NE section. I am attaching a sketch of pie chart for your reference. Based on your earlier reply, if my main door is at East sector, will I still be using the NE flying star chart? Sorry I am indeed very confused. Thanks for your kind advice, I have based on your advice to check on the house leaks. Please refer to my sketch. Are they consider a leak if the main door is opening to a see-through glass wall but not window? What about the mirror in the liv…

Dear Vickie, I am not sure if have read this write-up on Cate Bramble's site at: http://www.loop.com/~bramble/fengshui/confess.html (Confessions of Lin Yun). Within this page there are links to an article devoted to Lin Yun also. One should not place a Ba Gua especially inside a room or office. This will create Sha Qi. This website does not discuss on Black Hat Sect or BTB is an "off-topic" More authentic traditional Feng Shui theories such as Eight House (for personal directions) and other more advanced theories like Flying Star (for the office) and for the individual i.e. Pillars, I believe would help more. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Betty, The most important thing to remember is not to place a wall clock above a door. Preferably, it should be placed at a location of activity e.g. close to the Television set or Hi Fi. (it can be above it). Another thing to note is that a grandfather clock is a better `subsitute' for a windchime. A few days ago, I tried counting my neighour's bungalow house. I counted at least nine different types of windchimes outside the west `wing' of the house (or the back door area). It so happens that this is also the WEST side of the house or the YIN side. Most likely, the lady who stayed there became insane because of the windchime. Personally, I would like to help but the…

Further to what I had mentioned, Does it matter how large the Free Space Is? Another case study of centerpoint with clear space..... Attached, please find another illustration showing "clear space" at the centrepoint or flux of the home: 1. Although the toilet is quite close to the centrepoint (fortunately) IT IS NOT at the centrepoint. The saying goes "a (fortunate) miss is as good as a mile". 2. The centrepoint is clear space. And if we look at the layout plan, it is thus advantages for this centrepoint to be clear space. Where, air-entry points from nearly any windows of the house can bring in or bring out air. Be it from the balcony, main entrance, kitchen, bedrooms …

Dear Anon, 1. This arised because a user asked whether to cover the shoe rack. Earlier, I posted that it is of course much better to remove the shoe rack if it is at the main entrance area. 2. The correct way to practise Feng Shui is to manage the entire house e.g. make sure that everything is inbalance first. I merely mentioned that whether to cover or remove the shoe rack is secondary. I believe what you have asked was, can things be changed by removing the shoe rack or covering it. I mentioned that, it is not the most important thing to do in Feng Shui. For example, if there is a hole in a ship. Even if it is a small one, there will still be leaks in it. So, it is in…

Dear Cheui May, Please see below:- 1. You have to first consider what is the purpose behind being `attacked' by a poison arrow. 2. If there is a pointed object e.g. like a pointed pencil or the edge of a building aimed anyway directly towards the main door, this is a poison arrow. 3. If it is a lamp post, look or imagine it as a knife slicing thru the main door i.e. tangent or perpendicular to it. 4. Otherwise, if you are standing on the main door looking outside and the lamp post is on the right side and does not `cut' the main door this is not a threat. 5. Is there a gate or fencing between the telephone post and the main door. Is there other `blockages' between th…

Anonymous wrote: MAy I ask is it inauspicious if there are lot of trees outside and near our house like mango, pomelo, guava. At the same time the guava tree is almost in front view of our main door although in an elevated position? 1. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, there are two considerations, here:- 1.1. Yin and Yang concept Often, the living room is located at the frontage of the home. And good trimming or landscaping is good, here so that the frontage does not get cluttered. In Singapore, especially in the early 1970's many landed property homes often have a mango tree at e.g. the corner or the frontage of the home. Some have rambutan trees. What happen is th…

Dear Karen, 1. There are many different issues in Feng Shui and Ba Zhi (Pillars of Destiny) and Yin and Yang concepts with regards to determining/recommendation as to the colour in a room. 2. This message would not be able to address all the above. And furthermore, `knowledge sector' is not practised here. 3. With regards to colours, `earth' colour or any other colours, you may have to take it in the context of Yin (darker) and Yang (brighter colours). Since your preference or comfort level is a darker room, it should do. Usually, earth colour is associated with Yellow. I am not sure what is the exact colour i.e. mauve.. if it dark, then, it could instead be `wood' colou…

Dear Jennifer, Palm Grove Condominium Both Palm Haven and Palm Grove share the same developer: CapitaLand. Both are 999 year leases. Palm Haven's lease started from 1/9/1876. While Palm Haven's has a better advantage since it started from 1999. Currently, this area only allows for low rise residential estate. Therefore, both Palm Haven and Palm Grove have low rise units. Each development at 4 storey high. Besides consideration such as the remaining lease time-limit and psf; in terms of external Feng Shui, the smaller development (Palm Haven with 48 units as oppose to 111 units for Palm Grove) has better shapes and forms. If one notice the attached site plan for Palm Haven…

Dear Joshua, Joshua Chia wrote: For me, the eight house report has indicated that NW would be a good location. How do I locate the best facing postiton of my master bed room? Does it mean that my master bedroom door has to face NW. Thanks In general, there should be at least 4 good sectors that are good for you. So get a layout plan of the house, or stand at the center of the house. Determine where is the North direction, and divide the house into the other sectors. So if your bedroom is located at the South, and South if your Heath sector, it is a suitable bedroom for you. If it is South is Spook sector, then it is not so suitable for you. As long as the bedroom is l…
