1. Most likely, you notion of Career sector is based on a "fixed template"? model? If so, this fixed template model is a modern invention. And may not be true under Traditional Feng Shui accessment. 2. Under Traditional Feng Shui, it is best not to have a giant main entrance . As for a giant doorway, generally, it should not be an issue if it is part of the living area or the passageway. 3. Again, this "knowlege sector" is not based on Authentic Traditional Feng Shui. Quote: Three stairs go up through the giantdoorwayto the other side to enter the knowledge sector 4. What you had been applying is the modern invention.

Dear Master Cecil, I started reading about Feng Shui after I bought my flat. Since it is a done deal, I'll like to present my layout as a case study for learning. I have attached a picture of the layout and some placement of screens and furniture. I was borned in 1975 and my kua number is 7. My wife is borned in 1977 and kua number is 9. Will appreciate your advise on the following. 1. Is my way of locating the centre of the house correct correct? 2. There is a major missing corner as indicated by the RED circle. Is this a major poison arrow? How can I remedy this? 3. The bathroom is very near the centre of the house and the main entrance. Is my interpretation correct? Is…

Hi Cecil, I am interested in purchasing a unit at Caspian. Attached is the layout. Would like to check whether the toilet is at the centre of the house? What negative impact does it have when there are some "missing corners" at the left of dining room & right of living room as shown. Thanks! Annie

Dear Anon, Anonymous wrote: Can someone explain the Caslte Gate method of Feng Shui. There are many resources and postings on the forum that most of the answers can be found if you just do an advanced search for Castle Gate Theory:- URL: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=9813 Basically, it is tilting a building (ideally) 45 degrees to the road or if this may not be possible; then, tilting the main door directions 45 degrees instead. As the word `Castle' suggests; it has also has water. Therefore in order for it work, water (not still water) is used here.

yap,ok..now i understand more of the 'white fengshui'. but i still have some things that i dont really understand about hyatt. 1. i notice that the ceiling at the lobby of hyatt hotel lobby is of many 'pyramid' shape, is it design in such a way that it is 'fengshuied'?any reason for being in that shape? 2. there are a few circular items in the hotel lobby like the spiral staircase, the flower pot in the middle of the lobby, the siting area which is infront of the staircase. are all these consider as 'metal' elements?(because you had mentioned before that hyatt is using the combination of 3 elements.) 3.i also noticed that the whole lobby area is actually with timber strip…

Dear Master Cecil, I recently bought a flat at Cavenagh Gardens, 73 Cavenagh Road. Do you have a view on the general fung shui of this development? Does it matter that it is very old (built in 1975)? Does it have any potential negative impact since it's adjacent to The Istana? Thanks for your kind advice. Best, Young Jedi

Dear Anon, 1. If it is a concrete beam then use two wooden bamboo flutes:- http://www.geomancy.net/mypictures/cgi-bin/mypictures.cgi?img=0&search=bamboo&cat=Feng_Shui_Cures&bool=and&x=11&y=17 2. Place the bamboo flute on any side of the concrete beam. 3. If it is a wooden beam (usually if it is less than 3 inches (width) by 6 inches -- there is really not much issue or the supression of Qi is in my opinion minimal. Otherwise, for concrete beam - metal element should be used instead. Warmest Regards, Cecil Lee

In my opinion, the most common colour for a home ceiling is white. There are also trends: for example; around ten years ago; many new developments especially condominium units use barley white for both the interior walls and even the ceilings. There are homes that uses wooden beams and planks especially, those per-war homes in Singapore. Since these are natural wood; they are often brown or wood tone colour. So far hardly ever come across ceiling in grey especially for homes. Some business establishment does use such colours. The adage is if not sure; don't use it applies.

Hi, So far there is no evidence to say that a ceiling fan or light bulb is bad. One reason is because most ceiling fan or light bulb do not have `poison arrows'. Therefore in my personal opinion, both are generally ok. Warmest Regards, Cecil

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Generally from a Shapes and Form Feng Shui point of view, no major issue. 2. Since it is rectangular and not square, most of the time, the edges runs parallel to the ceiling. If it is a squarish design, then avoid the "diamond shaped" figure - please see attachment. 3. As mentioned under Para 1, strictly from a Feng Shui point, no issue. However, human factors can come into play. For example, it takes a relative, parents or even close friends to utter a comment - which may make such of us feel uneasy. Comments such as it "looks" like a beam drooping down etc... 4. Overall, there is no major impact on a strictly Feng Shui …

Dear Aiyoo, Please see below:- Unfortunately, there is not much one can do that is not so obvious. However, under the Five Elements concept, Fire element can be used to neutralise metal. Here, e.g. a red packet with $2 can be hung below the lighting. But this can be quite obvious as it can be seen. Alternatively, if you have a PC monitor, you can alternatively place this on it or on your desk. One should not clutter the table unncessarily especially, if the motive is for `Feng Shui'. But if you do have some interesting or some other decor that you really, really like, by all means. Warmest Regards, Cecil In the past, we use to broadcast as a backup to another …

Dear Anon, For landed properties (with privacy) all round e.g. no tall buildings that can have a view or peer into the home thru the sky light, the use of sky light is acceptable! In ancient Chinese buildings, or homes may homes have an open court-yard akin to letting light into the home or close to the concept of the skylight. The only issue is to avoid placing a single tree in the middle of the home and have a skylight shining down. In the past, I had mentioned that this is similar to the word "KUN" in Chinese and very inasupicious. However, if there is no single lone tree, it is still acceptable. Nowadays, in Singapore, many terrace homes resort to adding transpare…

Dear Anon, In my opinon, as a Feng Shui practitioner and for many users, we normally categorise people who give such as advise as: similar to "the idea that you stay here, we don't" and "you own it we don't. Frankly, in my opinion, I personally find such sayings highly irresponsible. This is because, there are so wide interpretations of numerology - to some, it may seem bad numbers to others it may seem good. Often I encountered practitioners even advising their clients e.g. to close-up the entire master-bedroom toilet! Imagine, some one who just comes to the home for a few hours, provide such an advise, he/she will move on, but we are stuck with such an advise! If I…

Dear Felecia, Usually, the major cause of concern for a landed property is to avoid underground water or sewerage pipes running under the bed. Here, a German study has found that there are high incidence of cancer where beds are located immediately above these pipes running below ground. Frankly, for the Chinese (especially) many Chinese FS practitioners would often, recommend not to buy the site. (Me included). This is because, the graves are at the frontage of the home. It would be better if the graves are (at least) at the back of the home. Given that your husband has cancer, it would not be too favourable to have such a home. For those who are interested in buildi…

Dear Angela, Angela Le wrote: I was wonder how bad is it really to have a bathroom in the center of the house because most floor plans have bathrooms near the center of the home. Also, is it still bad to have the main entrance face a fire place even if the fireplace is at an angle. Basically, once you walk into the house you do see the fireplace, but just a side of it. The fireplace is actually at a corner.Finally, Is it bad for me if my excellent is NE and my husband is SW for us to have a house that indents in the front area.

Dear Regina, Let your fingers do the walking......to.... Please visit this message:- Posted in: Discuss :: Free Advice (General Feng Shui) on Monday, January 07, 2002 08:06 AM Dear Susan, 1. Attached, please find a graphic illustration of the " rectangular " court-yard + the Chinese (mandarin) character for tree. 2. The two combined is called " KUN " or trapped or imprisoned. 3. This is another aspect of Symbolism in Feng Shui. 4. For such a court-yard, it would be tempting to have some trees in this centre-court yard and thus - one has to be really careful of the implication of it. Warmest Regards, Cecil Lee ==== Under this message, one can see a graphic illustration …
