Dear Master Lee: Thank you for your speedy response to my last question. I'm confused. For period 8, which house would be better, the sum-of-ten house or the double 8's house? Thank you very much for the advice. Pam

Dear Master Lee: Thank you for allthe advice you've given me so far. I'm attaching two photos of the storm drain that is in front of this house (the beige one), and it's right next to the drive way. In fact, part of the storm drain overlaps the drive way. Is this bad fengshui? Thank you very much again for your advice. Pam

Dear Master Cecil: Thank you very much for your response. 1) Regarding your response that if there was a water feature in the backyard where the moutain star is, this would negate the sum-of-ten effect. Since the back yardof this house is sloping upward, the builder had installed a "concrete drainageditch" right behind the fence of the property's boundary, so that water comingfrom the higherground above will flow into this ditch, and won't flood the backyard, should there bea big rain storm. Is this ditch considered bad fengshui? 2) The front of the house has a storm drain which is right below the streetsidewalk. This storm drain has an opening about 4 feet wide. This openingis between the driveways of this house and of the next-door neighbor's house. Is this storm drain considered bad fengshui? Thank you very much for your advice. Pam

Dear Master Lee: Does the flying star chart for 2005 become effective on January 1st, 2005 or on the first day of the Chinese year of the Rooster? If it becomes effective on the first day of the Chinese year of the Rooster, when is that? Thank you for your advice. Pam

Dear Master Lee: Thank you for your previous response. If I cannot activate a mountain star in a sum-of-ten house because of the window, will that diminish the good effect of the sum of ten in that location? Thank you very much for your advice, Pam

Dear Master Lee: Thank you very much for your quick response. My husband and I are looking at this new house. Its facing is SW1which is sum-of-ten house. However, thehouse's sectors that have mountain star8 (NE) and mountain star 9 (W) have large windows. This means these mountain stars cannot be activated. 1) Will this (being notable to activate the mountain stars) diminish the good effect of the sum-of-ten house? 2) Should westill consider buyingthis houseeven if we cannot activate the mountain stars? The NE sector is the back of the house where the backyard is flat for a few yards and then gradually sloped upward. 3) Since the mountain star 8 in this sector cannot be activated because of the window and sliding door, can this sloping upward in the backyard be considered the mountain? 4) I'd also like to know if this sloping upward in the backyard has any good effect on the mountain star 8 even if it cannot be activated? Thank you so much for your advice, Pam

Dear Master Lee: Thank you for your quick response. If the corner bend of the road (close and far) is not as sharp as the previous graph, would the house (b) still get the sha quilike houses (a) and (c), which appear to be at the t-junctions)? Respectfully, Pam

Dear Master Lee: Wewerelooking at this new house. I was checking the externalof the house to see if therewere any issues. The only thing thatwas noticeable to mewas the storm drain in front of the house. Actually, it's at the street level right next to the driveway entrance to the garage. It's covered except for the hole where the water goes into. I didn't smell anything when I stood above or in front ofthe drain. Is this bad fengshui? Thank you very much for the advice. Pam

Dear Master Lee: Thank you very much for your previous response. I understand that, in order to activate the mountain star, the location must not have any openings such as windows. However, if I just cover up the entire window withnon see-through materialfrom the inside of the room, and then activate the mountain star. Will this solution work? Again, thank you very much for the advice. Pam

Dear Master Lee: Would you please tell me if this corner house "A" is at a good or bad location (at the bend of the road). The road is a through street even though there is a bend at this corner. It doesn't look like a T junction since the road on either side of the bend doesn't run into the house. Thank you very much for the advice. Pam

Dear Master Cecil: Would you please tell me if the roof of this house is auspicious or not? Thank you very much in advance for the advice, Pam

Dear Master Lee: I'm astrong water and west house person.My husband is west house person also. We'relooking at a new house with good facing, NE1 which is a sum-of-ten house according to you. But the front door is in the East sector (measured from the center of the house), which is my death direction and my husband's disaster direction. Except for this front door in thebad direction, the house has good shape and form. Should westill consider buying this house? Thank you very much in advance. Pam

Dear Master Lee: Please help me clarify this. If my house faces N3, then I should leave it at P7 and not fly it to P8 because P7 is better for N3 than P8, am I correct? Thank you very much for your advice. Very respectfully yours, Pam

Dear Master Lee: First, thank you for your advice. Secondly, would you please tell me if this blue house in the attached photo considered at a T-junction location? Its frontage is SW1 (205-210 deg). Should we consider buying this house? Thank you very much for the advice. Pam

Dear Master Lee: Thank you very much for your previous response. Attached is another culdesac home with great mountain view in the back. This culdesac is a round one instead of the chinese knife shape. There are only two houses on the culdesac, the rest of the space is the park and green belt. Mine is the one on the left. It also has the front door (black rectangle) and driveway facing the culdesac. Is this a bad culdesac location? Thank you very much in advance for your advice. Very respectfully, Pam

Dear Master Lee: Thank you very much for your response. Attached is a sketch of the house that was shown to us. It sits on a culdesac location. Both the front door and the driveway face the culdesac (the black rectangle is the front door, the other is the driveway). It was built in 2000 and the price is reasonable. The back view is great. Would you please tell me if the house is at a bad location on the cul-de-sac and should we buy this house? Thank you very much for your advice. Very respectfully yours, pam

Dear Master Lee: Thank you so much for your response. My P7 home faces SW2 (220 deg). Since SW1 has the sum of ten for P8 (I remember reading about that somewhere on this website), I think perhaps we should tilt our front door back 10 degrees to SW1 (210) and fly it to P8, and forget about house hunting (off course, I'll have to convince my husband about this). Will tilting the front door change the house facing from SW2 to SW1 also? Thank you very much for your advice, Very respectfully yours, pam

Dear Master Lee: Should one AVOID buying a FORECLOSURE house?, even if its "shape and form" seems to be right. It has none of the unfavorable stuffs you discussed in the "shape and form" section. The staircase is 8 inches from the center point (if this is considered bad "shape and form"), otherwise it's clear space in the center. The house's main door faces Southwest 3. You had mentioned in one of your previous respnses that NE and SW are best for this period 8. This house was built in 2000. Thank you very much for your advice. Very respectfully yours, Pam

Dear Master Lee: Thank you very much, sir, for your quick response. We were shown another home at another cul-de-sac location this morning. Myhusband and I had expressed to the realtor that we would like a home with the backyard facing greenbelt openspace, preferably with a mountain view. However, it seems that most (if not all) homes with a mountain view so far are either sloped down in the back or located in a cul-de-sac. I've searched for your responses to all the cul-de-sac questions. There was one questionrecently "culdesac sha qui" with picture of 12 houses around a cul-de-sac street. I 'd say this picture is exactly the type of cul-de-sac that this "Cresthill" house was built on. In fact, it's house no.5 in the "culdesac sha qui"picture. This house's main door is setway back in, but it does face thecul-de-sac. There is a long porchfrom the main door to the cul-de-sac. This house was built in period 7 and NE3 facing. The outside of the housewas painted light yellow. We like this one the best so far because of the backyard facinga large conservation area with the rocky mountains. If webuy this house, we willrepaint the house a light blue color, the driveway grey, the main door red, and put up a red brick wall in the front yard to shield the main door from the cul-de sac (moving the main door to the side is impossible because of the homeowner's covenant). Will this be an acceptable solution, Sir? Also, how high the red brick wall should be? (I'm attaching a photo of this house) Thank you very much in advance for your advice. Very respectfully yours, Pam

Dear Master Lee: Thank you so much for the quick response. Regarding the Gold-dust house which is sloped down in the back, you mentioned in your previous response that we can make the back of this house the front and the front becomes the back. I'm somewhat confused, and this may be a stupid question, but how does Feng shui know that the back becomes the front and vice versa, especially the house number is placed above the garage door? Thank you very much in advance for your advice. Very respectfully, Pam

Dear Master Lee: For all the houses that sitin the cul-de-sac "circle" (excluding those on the parallel street leading to the culdesac), they are homes that "will never become rich" EVEN IF their front doors are on the side(not facing the cul-de-sac) and the drive-ways are painted grey. Is this a true statement? Very respectfully yours, Pam

Dear Master Lee: Would you please rate the inauspiciousnessof the following homes that cannegatively affect the owner's finances or health (with 1= worst, 2-second worst, etc...): a) Home facing a t-junction b) Home located in a culdesac "circle" c) Home that is level in the front and back yards, but sloped down on the side such that if one stands on the side of the house, one can see the front yard is higher than the back yard. d) Any other houses that you can think of besides the above These are the homes that one should avoid when go house hunting. Am I correct? Thank you so much, Master Lee Very respectfully yours, Pam

Dear Master Lee: Thank you so much for your quick response to my previous question. We're back to house hunting again. My realtor showed us two houses today: 1) Woodrose house: this house sits on a parallel street leading toa cul-de-sac so I guess it's not affected by the cul-de-sac. It backs to open space (which we like),but it sits at the bottom ofa smallhill, and its back slopedUPWARD so the builder had to build a little retaining wall in the backyard to keep water from heavy rainabove the hillto flood the backyard. This house faces Southwest. My husband is concerned that if the rain is heavy, it might get into the basement. Is this sloping upward in the back good or bad feng shui? 2) Gold-dust house: this house is on a through street (vs. dead-end). My husband likes this house because it backs to large open space with panoramic view of the rocky mountains(therefore, its view is better than the woodrose house). However, it slightly slopedDOWNWARD in the back with a walkout basement. This house faces South. My husband thinks that we will not have to worry about water coming into the basement with the sloping down in the back, but I told him it'salso bad feng shui. Woulda 6 foot high retainingfencein the backyard neutralize the badness of the down slope? Thank you very much in advance, Master Lee. Respectfully yours, Pam

Dear Master Lee: I'm new to geomancy and have found the photo tours of interests extremely helpful (just like they said "a picture speaks a thousand words"). Thank you for having such a wonderful website. I'm house hunting and came across two beautiful houses. They seemed to have good "shape and form" inside (no bathrooms at the center, next to or above the front door; no stairs facing the front door). However, one is at a culdesac and the other might be at a t junction. Would you please tell me : 1) is the ashwood house at aBAD culdesac location? 2) is the pepperwood houseat a t junction? Thepepperwood street is a two way lane. The frontdoor of this house is setaway from the street and its view is blocked by three bigred brick columns in front of the house. One has to stand in front of thedrive way to see the front door anditis painted red. So is the front door protected if this house is at a t junction? 3) should I consider buying either house? Thank you very much in advance for your advice. With great respects, Pam
