Dear Master Cecil:
I am taught that a house should have an exit besides the front door. Whereshould this exit be?
On the same level (main level)where my front door is, I have an exit to the car garage; but this exit is not in the back of the house.
The other exit is at the basement level. And this exit is in the back of the house.
Does my house have proper exits?

Jen

Dear Master Cecil:
I have been educated by this Forum to understand the following:
If the front door leads directlyto a hallway, there should not be a window or a door at the end of this hallwayin the back of the house. It isone of theprimary causes of"chi" leakage.
Now, I have a wall at the end of this hallway in the back of the house. In order to let natural light comeinside the back end of the house, I plan to install glasses in that wall. As you know, the glasses are not windows. We can open windows; but, we cannot open glasses.
Do those glasses also result in "chi" leakage? Do the glasses must be installed at a height above the top of the front door to prevent "chi" leakage? Thank you for your advices.

Dear Master Cecil:
If you would kindly explain what determines a fortune or a misfortune is gone or still prevalent?
I saw that a sector representing a person's prosperity could be gone long time ago.
1. Does it mean prosperity will never come back to the house?
2. Why only prosperity can be gone? Why "death", "disaster", or "spook"will never be gone?
Thank you.

Dear Master Cecil:
As you know, flower or vegetable seeds must be sown about one inch or one and half inches below the ground surface.
Is it considered to be inauspicious if I loosen soil a little be to put down flower/vegetable seeds in the direction where the Grand Duke sits of the year?
Thank you for your advice.
Warm Regards,

Dear Master. Cecil:
My house (single family, detached) is situated on an odd shape piece of land. Nonetheless, there is no fence, no tree, or anything that delineates the boundary of my land and adjacent properties; therefore, it is not an odd shape "visually". What I mean "an odd shape piece of land" is in accordance with my knowledge.
Does it still mean that my house is on an odd shape piece of land? Thank you.
Warm Regards,

Dear Master Cecil:
Here in the U.S., I often see houses are built on elevated ground along both sides of a street; that is, houses are on a level that is significantly higher than the street level. Does it mean that all those houses have wealth leak problem? Your opinion on the situation is highly appreciated.
With Warm Regards,

Dear Master Cecil:
I understand that the Grand Duke is at 240 degree (SW) this year. And the opposite direction is at 60 degree (NE).
I want to plant an azalea (Du Juan) at about 60 degree in my yard. It is a small azalea bought from a nursery (not a grown up one). Is it safe to dig a hole of that size this year (2004)? Or it is better to postpone the planting? Thank you for your advice.

Dear Master Cecil:
I am afraid that there is too much water inside my house and would like to have your advice.
1. I am a strong water.
2. The roof of my house is covered with "black" shingle. There is no way to change it because every single house in the housing development has a black shingle roof.
3. It is "blue" carpeting on the second floor of the house.
4. On the first floor, it is hard wood flooring (dark brown color) in the foyer and hallway area. It is white vinyl floor in the kitchen and breakfast nook. However, the living room, dining room and family room are covered with "gray" carpet.
5. The color of the carpet in the basement is beige.
6. It is white wall everywhere in the house.
Currently, I do not have the money to change carpet. What is the water effect on the Feng Shui of my house?
Warm regards,
Jen

Dear Master Cecil:
There is a sharp edge remotely pointing at the windows in the "back" of my house. This sharp edge does not fall inside the direct range of my house; nonetheless, I am able to see this sharp edge through windows.
Does this sharp edge pose a threat to my house? Is a day curtain helpful in this situation?

Dear Anon,
Please see attached
illustration.
In this illustration, I had
given two Case Studies:
Case 1: Threats from lamp
posts, trees or the pointed
roof of a neighbouring home
(Here, the threat should fall
within the markings A to B as
shown in the attachment).
Case 2: Threats from the sharp
edge of another near-by
building.
(Here, the building need not
be directly in-front but at
the side of the main door or
window.)
Hope you can see the
difference.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

To check for poison arrows,

simply look straight and not

at both sides as well?
Also, 2 large windows in the

both windows? Can the cure be
also placed inside the house

I have read many articles

Dear Master Cecil:
Thank you for explaining the idea about clear space at the center of the house; especially, an example layout is given to illustrate how chi flows via the center.
The center point of my house is in a wall. It is clear space on both sides (left hand side and right hand side) of the wall. Furthermore, a clear space hallway is about 4 inches away from this center point (i.e. the center point is in a wall and the center point is about 4 inches away from the end of the wall.)
Is the layout described above considered to be Okay for the flow of chi inside the house? Or the layout symbolizes some financial difficulties?

Dear Master Cecil:
I have taken a look at the traits of the houses that are able to suck wealth from neighbors at http://www.geomancy.net/products/po-hunting/po-hunting-faq.htm
I become very confused. It looks like an end house is in a receiving position for wealth from houses ahead of it at both sides. Are the corners of wealth-losing houses poison arrows pointing to the wealth-receiving house?
Please help shedding light to my confusion. Thank you.

Dear Master Cecil:
I saw your reply to Ng: "a home should not only have good or favourable Feng Shui, but it also has the ability to `suck' wealth from it's surroundings or neighbours!"
What kind of traits/situating of a house has the ability to 'suck' wealth from it's surroundings or neighbors?

Dear Sir
After consulting 2 feng shui
master at home (diffent
master)since last year. There
isn't any improvement at all.
First consultation, no result
and thus the second
consultation, things get
worse. Subsequently, I was
told by one of the master that
I need to purchase a $5000
worth of fengshui products
from his shop, to improve feng
shui effectively.
Need your advise on the
following :
1.Can I re-consult Feng Shui
again after consulting feng
shui expert twice??
Here are some considerations:
1. A year ago, this person, e-mailed me,
mentioning that he had his home Feng
Shuied twice.
He mentioned that this lady FS
practitioner came to his home, scribbed
some things (did a lousy job), and asked
him to follow the instructions. Since,
he had hired her, he felt that he had to
follow her instructions.
2. Later, he hired, this Feng Shui
practitioner. the user mentioned that he
did his best, but after the Feng Shui,
he faced more problems.
3. I asked him to scan or fax a layout
and his landscape plan (street
directory) view. I was so "shocked",
because, his block and unit was attacked
by two schools: one a primary school and
another a secondary school.
4. The attack was in the form a the two
schools shaped much like a pistol and a
shotgun respectively. Here, this is
known as `penetrating sha qi'. Cannot
see but can be very bad for the people
staying in the block.
5. This is because, after I had posted
this findings in the forum, 4 more
users, had wrote in to me! Telling me
that they also faced the same situation!
6. Here, no amount of money or buying
whatever figurines can help. And it is
no point taking another look even by any
other Feng Shui masters.
7. In the past, I had drawn an analogy:
If one's house or apartment is
equivalent to a second-hand 600 cc car;
it is not possible to revv it up to a
turbo charged v8 engine car!
8. The saying goes: "Pay for what one
gets". Here, taking another view point:
if one has a family of 8. How to squeeze
into a mini-clubman car? Less we tie two
members on the roof top and squeeze one
family member into the trunk.
9. Here, more likely we have to buy an
MPV vehicle already.
10. I am not saying that your home has
this situation. But, no harm to check
the exterior for threats. - To be safe
or to rule out this situation.
11. Many local Feng Shui practitioners,
in my opinion can be quite "academic".
Some can draw perfect Flying Star
charts, but, do not look beyond the 4
walls of a home.
12. Frankly, one can pathe a house in
gold, but all else collapses outside the
four walls - what is the use?
13. Within the interior, the few things
one can do are:
13.1 Fix as many leaks as possible.
13.2 Hopefully, the two FS `masters' did
not bombard your home with too many
worthless figurines, wind chimes etc...
In a small home such as a HDB apartment,
things if all else can get even worse!
Too many clutter, is not going to help.
13.3 In my opinion, it is not a matter
of whether one can consult another
practitioner but rather: "Is it cost
effective?" Here, one has already forked
out quite a tidy sum paying both.
13.4 And, as mentioned above,
realistically, the key success of Feng
Shui is to firstly, see if we, humans
can harmonise with the home. Especially
in the area of health.
13.5 But if one aims to get instant
wealth after a Feng Shui audit - think
again! This is because, an apartment or
flat has much influence coming from the
Exterior! Of the home.
14. Or the exterior plays the most
important consideration! A `lousy'
exterior or lousy shapes and forms --
means, no matter what, one cannot
squeeze out more than what the house can
or cannot give us.
15. Thus, often we hear the words :
Location, location, location.
16. The rich are different: They often
have the means to get choicest
locations/ landed property etc... And
for many, not only are their homes good;
What this means is that a home should
not only have good or favourable Feng
Shui, but it also has the ability to
`suck' wealth from it's surroundings or
neighbours!
Here, let the neighbours work hard and
one sits there to collect the `spoils'.
This is known as "Quantum Leap" in Feng
Shui. And few can afford this! Or by
luck.
2. Is AROWANA suitable for a
Water-Tiger element?
Under the Practise of Water Feng Shui,
the best success is either thru the
identification of a location that
favours a water position or water star
position. And this can only be looked at
thru the proper use of Flying Star Feng
Shui.
The other consideration is thru Shapes
and Forms Feng Shui.
As to the "Water-Tiger element" -
frankly, this is even proper Ba zi
analysis.
Under proper Ba zi analysis, one should
be able to identify to the lowest common
denominator: The Five elements concept.
For example, if you had mentioned: I am
a strong water or weak water or strong
earth or weak earth. This makes more
sense. The term `water-tiger' especially
based only on the year of birth - is too
superficial to be of any use.
More importantly, a water position can
be a double edged sword: If placed
wrongly, bring more problems. Or worse,
if it is not favourable to one's
element, this is really bad. Arowana or
no arowana. Gold, red or silver arowana,
does not matter. Most likely, (I do not
like to sound cruel) may end up on the
dinner table.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Master Cecil:
In accordance with your advice, there should be some free space in the center of the house for chi to congregate. May I know this free space should be around the center point of the house or in the center grid of the house? And how large is the free space considered to be appropriate?
By the way, the round shape is a metal element in Feng Shui. What about oval? Is oval also a metal element?
Thank you very much.

Dear Master Cecil:
I am unable to upload a sketch of the way of my house situates relative to my neighbors' houses. Let me see if I understand your message. I cannot cover all cases. I simply try to summarize what I observe on the street I live.
Primarily, the street in front of a house determines the direction of the Qi comes from. Therefore, if a number of single family detached houses situated side by side facing a street:
1. The frontage of the houses that are closer to the street collect more wealth.
2. The frontage of the houses that are relatively distant from the street lose wealth to other houses.
3. The frontage of the houses that sort of tilt away from the street, i.e. the direction of Qi comes from, lose wealth.
4. The frontage of the houses that are blocked by other houses or trees lose wealth.
Are the above statements true?
I do not understand "gaps between houses". On the street where I live, there is at least 8 yards distance between each of the two adjacent houses. Does wealth goes away in between houses?

JenQuoteOn 10/20/2003 7:09:37 AM, Anonymous wrote:
Dear Jen,
Yes, in many instances if the
houses are not in the same
alignment, there are gaps
between homes or a slope.
Things like the frontage of
the house being blocked by
other homes etc.. would also
affect the Feng Shui of a
home.
Do you have a top-view simple
sketch of a home vis-a-vis the
other homes and street.

Dear Master Cecil:
My house was built in 1990. I tried the tool provided by the geomancy.net to take a look at the flying star of my house and found that 2, 3, and 5 are at my main entrance. Those are the worst combination of numbers, is it right? What should I do? Sell my house and move? I am very worried. Please help.

Dear Master Cecil:
I apologize for not being clear about the description of the house.
The front door opens up to a "good size" foyer area. There is only one staircase leading up to the second floor. The staircase is on the left hand side of the foyer area. Nonetheless, the staircase is "not" situated in the range of the front door.
The other end of the foyer is (1) a closet (for guests to hang their coats) and (2) a hallway that leads to a room for families to eat breakfast and snacks. To be specific, when the front door opens up, the first view farther to the foyer is the side wall of the closet, which occupies roughly more than 1/2 of the range of the front door. And the second comes to sight, of course, is the hallway that leads to the back of the house.
Over the head of the foyer area, it is all clear space all the way up to the ceiling of the second floor because
there is no bedroom or any other types of space usage directly above the foyer.
I hope that I have better described the house. Is there any problem with the flow of "chi" in the house? I highly respect your opinion.

Dear Jen,
It is better if you have a
sketch; for me to understand
better the situation.
This is because, I still
unable to visualise where the
staircase is leading up to the
second level. Or are there two
staircases on each side of the
foyer leading up to the second
floor?
What is directly opposite the
main door i.e the other end of
the foyer? Is there a room or
just a door or window leading
out to the back area?

Your advice is that barbecue grill should be as far away from the house as possible. Does the direction matter?
For example, is West/SW/NW a good direction for a barbecue grill located? Thanks.

Dear Anon,
A swimming pool at the back is
still sustainable for a home.
I will be commenting just on
Shapes and Forms Feng Shui.
1. Where possible, if it a
boomerang shape, the
boomerang, does not
symbolically `cut' or slice
into your home.
Where possible, just imagine
one holding a side of a
boomerang and throwing it out.
The boomerang shape or the
`external' edge should radiate
outwards.
2. If this is the Southeast of
a home, it is still acceptable
to have a swimming pool. Avoid
having the swimming pool
located at the west or
south-west of the home.
3. Regarding the BBQ pit,
where possible, it should be
at a corner furthest away from
the home. (Sorry, without a
sketch, it is difficult for me
to visualise all the
descriptive words).

Greetings Mr. Lee,
Would placement of a swimming
pool in the Southeast corner
of our backyard be an
auspicious placement? The
pool that we are considering
on building would be a diving
pool (deep) approx. 40 feet
across from the southeast end
approx. 2/3 across the yard.
it will be shaped almost like
a boomerang(though not
exactly) with no sharp corners
- where the diving board side
(which is the shorter portion
of this pool) extends from the
southeast around and out
towards the west side of the
yard - with the longer and
shallow portion stopping about
2/3 across the yard towards
the west side. The west side
will be an open area with some
trees and a dog run; with a
covered patio located there.
the plans include a built-in
BBQ at the end of the covered
patio - front of the BBQ would
face the house - and the back
side of the bbq would have a
eating bar with stools facing
towards the yard. From the
breakfast eat-in area (just
inside of the glass patio
doors)you would see the front
side of the BBQ at the end of
this covered patio. Also, our
front door faces the North,
and as you walk in, directly
across from the front door is
a window, which is located on
the south wall of the house,
which would show a portion of
the pool.
My questions are: is this a
good design (shape) and pool
placement? Is the BBQ in a
good place? This house was
built sometime in 1997 or 98
and our birthdates are
11-16-52, 11:55pm and 7-17-58,
10:19am with children 12-4-92,
1pm; and 8-3-97, 1pm. House
number is 4217. Look forward
to your reply. We need to
approve plans SOONEST. Thank
You!

Dear Master Cecil:
I have been having similar concerns. Depending on the center point of the house, the reading of the house direction can be different. In accordance with what I have read so far, the center of the house can be:
1. The point at which the weight of the whole house balances. This method usually applies to houses with irregular shape.
2. The crossing point of the two diagonal lines. This method usually applies to houses with square or rectangular shapes.
3. The central passage way through which the residents of the house walk to all the rooms of the house. This passage way is where Qi congregates and demanders.
I have a house with rectangular shape. Because it is a single family detached house, there is a central pillar. The weight of the whole house falls upon this central pillar. If I stand at front door and look directly inward, this central pillar is one and half feet away and to the right of the center point (the crossing of the two diagonal lines).
From the front door, there is also a central passage way directly ahead of me. The side of this passage way is half of foot away and to the left of the center point (the crossing of the two diagonal lines).
The center point (the crossing of the two diagonal lines) is in the wall of a closet. The closet is for visitors to put their coats.
I am uncertain where is the center of my house (pillar? center point? or passage way?) And from which the reading of the direction of my house is different. (The facing of my house is extremely close to the dividing line of the East direction and the NE direction.)

Dear Master Cecil:
I do not quite understand "clear space in the center". Do you mean that it should be open space in the "center grid" of the house? Or it should be open space at the center point of the house?
There are walls in the center grid of my house. Do walls block qi from congregating?
Do I have to move all furnitures that are placed within the center grid of the house?

Dear Master Cecil:
There are many time zones around the globe. A certain time on a certain day in China is a different time and possibly a different day in another country. And there is man-made "daylight saving time".
For people were born in countries other than China, do birth date have to be converted to "China Standard Time" and daylight saving time have to be set back to normal time in order to analyze Ba Zi and Feng Shui?

Dear Master Cecil:
Thanks so much for your reply.
According to the way I read it, the back can be a "glass wall" (meaning it is a completely sealed big glass panel, it is not a window or a door) even if there is a straight path between the front door and the back.
Is it considered to be a problem with respect to Feng Shui if standing at the front door area, we are able to see the back yard through this "glass wall"?
Please kindly clear my confusion. Thank you.
