Dear cecil, What are the combinations of the mountain stars and water star which represent wealth. I hope you would provide a detailed answers so that the users can stop searching for the wealth corner in the home since users who have used flying stars can look at their chart and can find out whether their home has wealth star or not and stop wasting their time by trying to place fountain or water in the search of wealth. Thanks.

Dear cecil, In continuation of the above message. 1. The distance between the two doors is roughly 60-70 inches. 2. Yes the doors face each other. 3. The reason they have kept cactus is according to them is that they like cactus and also have lots inside the house. The reason being that the cactus does not require much care(low maintenance plant) and also their cat does not destroy the cactus unlike other regular plants which the cats loved digging the soil out of the pots. But the cat does go near the cactus.

Dear cecil, From the examples like the one the user recently posted "Fishes in the living room" and reading testimonial like this from different books most users expect a lot from feng shui and they feel disappointed when some body tries to tell them otherwise. What do you think about this quick fixes which brings magical result. I find this kind of testimonial quite troubling. Here one users got the positive result but on the other hand we have the user who is experiencing trouble by place waterfall picture in SW. I don't know what to think since it gives false hope to the future users and the novice user of feng shui

Dear cecil, In some of the books I read about using the coal as a remedy. I do not understand the purpose of using coal. Can you clarify this. Thanks.

Dear cecil, You have recommended few users who are new to feng shui to hire a competent geomancer to have a trouble free audit. But where are the traditional geomancer? They are available only in Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong and Malaysia. In other parts of the world they are practically non existent. And I think not every body can afford to fly a geomancer from Singapore or Hong Kong unless one is building a new home. And the few who are practising after taking a course are not competent at all since they lack the keen eye to detect the poison arrow and apply the form school. So I think its a big dilemma for the new users. In this age of the super computers every body wants a super fast solution. I think you have provided good tools for flying star and 8 mansion school but in order to apply these users need at least basic knowledge of feng shui and different schools. I think you need to come up with a better solution for the novice users so that they take advantage of feng shui.
