[Western Guide to Feng Shui]

Dear Wendy,
Based on Feng Shui guidelines, there is a difference between `building' a
house and finding a good date or year to build a house.
Let me elaborate: You can usually find a good date in the year 2000 as there
are 365 days in a year and even if it is in December 1999, you can still
find a good date the next year. Another point is that Chinese New Year does
not follow the English New year.
For those who are very new to Feng Shui, please take note that when we
discuss Chinese New Year, in short it is CNY or for this year Earth-Rabbit,
Chinese New Year is from 16 Feb 1999 to 4 Feb 2000. Here you will notice
that Chinese New Year 1999 only ends on 4th February 2000. Therefore, it is
wise not to offend the Grand Duke up to 3 February 2000 on the East side of
the house.
To be frank, in Singapore or Malaysia, it is easier to find a Feng Shui
Master to look at your project and majority are able to provide you with
professional
advise :
1. the date of starting the construction.
2. the survey of the site, land and layout.
In your case, I am not sure you can find an a true Traditional Expert. The
expert even looks at the type of sand on your construction site etc...
Anyway, what you can do is:-
1. Apply the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui for the site and the land
e.g. using the Four Symbolic Animal concept url:
http://www.geomancy.net/fs/four.htm
2. Eight House theory e.g. where best try to avoid the death and disaster
line on the main entrance or bedroom. But priority goes to Para 1.
3. Pillars of Destiny
4. Flying Star
I am unable to list out more situations. You have to understand that you can
invariably find a suitable date and it does not mean that Year 2000 is a
good or bad year for construction.
To refresh some users memory, do take a look at this url:
http://www.geomancy.net/fs/lunar.htm
What is the significance of seeing this table?
You will be glad to know that we are now in Period 7 and onwards. So you
may ask `what is the big deal' about it?
Period 1 refers to the birth of a new period; Period 2 to 5 are one of the
worst periods because as you are aware, No. 2 and 5 are bad Flying Star
periods and it could account for World wars etc...
What is so significant about Period 6, 7, 8 and 9. In general, these
`Stars' are considered Auspicious because, after all the toll in Period 1 to
5, the generation under period 6, 7, 8 and 9 reap the `so called ' rewards
(in general).
This is similar to some business. For example, the grandfather build a
business, it grows from a retail to a wholesale business (PERIOD 1 TO 5),
the son takes over, inturn, he enjoys the fruits (PERIOD 6, 7, 8 AND 9) but
after his lifetime, his son perhaps overspends and what happens? This
company may go into bankruptcy and returns to Period 1.
The Nine Stars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 goes in a circle.
Therefore, what I am mentioning is that most houses according to the Luo Shu
or Flying Star numerology implies that number 6 to 9 are `better' periods
than 1 to 5. Again this is just a general summary. You still have to be
careful because no matter how, each house will still have to content with
the Flying Stars of 2 and 5 (x2) as the mountain and water stars each have
a 2 or 5.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Robert
Congratulations on a fabulous website.
I am (another) beginner in Feng Shui.
My reasons for learning about Feng Shui is that my husband and I are
planning to commence build a house early in 2000.
My introduction to Feng Shui was the Western Guide to Feng Shui - which
initially excited me, but then worried me because I became sceptical about
simply using the location of your front door to map the rest of your home.
Then I purchased Lillian Too's illustrated guide to Feng Shui (may not be
correct title as I do not have it with me). This book, while a little more
daunting, seemed more authentic. However, since visiting your site, I have
begun to have doubts about this book (ie comments about "static", "applied
Feng Shui" etc)
I would welcome your advice.
Also, could you advise whether the year 2000 is a good time to be building
a new home.
Thank you.

[Bright Hall and installing a huge metal globe]

Hi,
I like to add a few words on this subject:-
1. As most users here are aware, the tearing down of a building complex to
turn it into a public park is a very Feng Shui move. If you can recall, the
front of the house or office building should be " flat " ie. under the Four
Symbolic Animal concept, the front is the `phoenix' which signifies it flies
freely in open space.
Similiarly, the Bright Hall is also called another term i.e. Ming Tang.
Traditional practise, you will find a pool (not stagnant water) in front of
the building. It is usually semi circular i.e. radiating away from the
building.
This is why sometimes, if you have a poision arrow aimed at your main
entrance, I advise some of the users to lay a circular carpet on their front
door radiating outwards. This is the same concept as above. Alternatively,
if the front door is elevated, you can use semi-circular steps.
All these are considered `neutral' or Feng Shui friendly or environmentally
friendly or " White " Feng Shui. " Black " or offensive Feng Shui uses the
Ba Gua mirror above the door. The most offensive is to use a cannon e.g.
same as those olden cannons on the ships to deflect outwards.
I have mentioned sometime back that in Singapore, two neighbour's doors are
within 1 meter facing each other. I was doing an Audit then and I noticed
that one neighbour used the Bagua Mirror and I believe, the other neighbour
used another reflective mirror to deflect the `sha'. As you can see, it is
not equally good for both house holds.
Like magic or sorcery (oops Feng Shui is not any of these!)..... We can
add abit of language in this Forum by calling Environmentally Friendly Feng
Shui -- White Feng Shui and Offensive Feng Shui -- Black Feng Shui:)
I believe, the metal huge globe is to slow down the `disruptive sha' at the
junction. Please remember that under the Shapes and Form School of Feng
Shui, modern watercourses have been replaced by roads which is the equalvent
of water element in modern times.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Sorry, without the details, it is pretty difficult to guess why he

There are many reasons for it, some on Feng Shui and others too.
However, as we don't not know much about it, we cannot really comment on

[What are the best shapes of desks?]

Hi,
This past question posted in the forum and available at this URL:
http://www.geomancy.net/fs/ruler.htm
will help you to understand the `Imperial Chinese Ruler' and how it is used
or not used today:-
Question: have a set of antique furniture which was given by my mum. I
measured the furniture and it fits the good measures of the Feng Shui
Ruler.
Is this good? Can you also elaborate more on the Feng Shui Ruler?
Yes most `true' antique furnitures (Chinese influence) do have a set of
measurements that follows the Feng Shui ruler. As the furniture was given
by your
mum (to confirm: from her home?) if so, it is OK.
For other antique furniture that you want to purchase, where possible check
it's
origin. This is because it is said that furnitures do absorb the Qi from
its surroundings
and for example when we purchase a home, a FS Master would normally also
ask
who were the previous owners especially if the house has been built for
quite some
time. This is the same rationale used to check on the antique furniture's
origin.
For the dining table, one of the best materials is still wood. New
furniture needs
sometime to absord Qi from it's surrounding. Glass and marble are less
favoured
dining table material because of it it's "hard surface" (which is Yang). Do
note that
"plastic " or polycarbyte are also considered " hard " and Yang. Yin
materials is
considered to provide generally a more `cosy' especially for the home.
2. Feng Shui Dimensions and the Feng Shui Ruler
- Under Yin Feng Shui or Feng Shui for the dead, great importance is placed
on
measurements e.g. of the grave tombstone etc... Currently, not many Feng
Shui
Masters know this skill as Yang Feng Shui or Feng Shui for the Living is
`more
widely' used today. This is mainly because of land scarcity and the need to
cremate
the dead. Cremation is said to have a neutral effect on the decendants of
the dead.
Secondly, Feng Shui for the living is `more lucrative'.
I understand that most users will ask this question: Is it important to
follow Feng Shui
measurements?
Lets look at these points:-
In the present day, there are many furniture designers and furniture
makers. It is not
possible to use the measurements on the Feng Shui ruler. Even if som e
furniture
makers are aware of it, they may not believe in Feng Shui.
Most of us are not able to custom design home furnitures. Even if we do, we
may
only custom design e.g. built in cupboards but not possible for every
furniture in the
home e.g. dining table, sitting room table and chairs etc...
So what should we do?
I like to point out there are a few Schools of Thoughts regarding this
matter:-
(1). Some Feng Shui Masters may say... use your six sense or the "
Intuitive " form of
Feng Shui and buy what you like and " meets " your needs. This is a
sensible
approach and the most practical in today's world. Simply go get what you
like. I agree
with this.
(2). Some Feng Shui designers (through their learning of Feng Shui) have
incorporated some Feng Shui friendly features e.g. furniture with `rounded'
corners.
Do note: not "wavy" furniture as in the water element but furnitures that
are `suppose'
not to give off poision arrows from it's edges. I also agree with this.
This is equally acceptable as most of us do read about poision arrows from
nearly
every FS website to nearly every FS books. You can consider the use of Feng
Shui
dimensions as `secondary' importance to Feng Shui.
In fact, today, because of commercialisation of Feng Shui so little has
been paid to
Feng Shui dimensions i.e. what can you earn from teaching FS dimensions?
When we do research at Geomancy.net, we believe as far as possible to bring
up
two sides of the coin and let users be the judge for themselves. No hidden
agenda
on this.
One interesting point: In Singapore, it is a little known fact that the
main doors of
practically all Housing Development Board Flats which more than 90% of
Singaporeans are living have the main door dimensions that fit Feng Shui
dimensions. Most FS Masters do talk about the importance of the `mouth' of
the
house i.e. the main entrance door. As mentioned above, this is considered a
`little
known fact' because of the racial diversity in Singapore. The `worry' is
that this may
offend other races especially the e.g. Malays who are Muslims and may get
the
wrong idea that Feng Shui is a religion.

Actually, all shapes are good shapes, it depends more on who the logo is
designed for. Say for a company the element of the person running the
company is water, then their wealth is fire, thus sharp shaped objects such
as triangle is good shape for it.
So for business logo, it is a little different. Often it has to be
especially designed to cater to the competitors etc.

Luk Fak Sau, or in romanized and more commonly called "Fu Lu Shou".
Fu - Prosperity
Lu - Luck
Shuo - Longevity
It is supposed to bring you prosperity, luck and longevity.
Normally, it normally good to display in the living room or any auspicious
sector (not in the bedrooms) in hope to bring in more good luck and fortune
for the family.
However, it is more of a Chinese symbol of good luck rather than Feng Shui.

[Cross symbol]

Dear Iz,
Thank you for your words of encouragements. Presently, Feng Shui is no
longer so mysterious.
Sometimes, I go abit far to `warn users' not to go excessively into Feng
Shui. Well sometimes this is human nature.
For example, say someone pick up a book on Feng Shui and after reading
between the lines, find that an author says that wind chimes are good.
Here, the `catalyst' begins. Each of us mean well for our family and instead
of purchasing one wind chime, may tend to purchase more. If one is
purchasing only one wind chime, the chances of getting it placed at a Flying
Star inauspicious location is not as great as one buying 5 wind chimes and
as there are 8 sectors, the chances of getting into problems are great!
Green Roof:
When I first started to learn Feng Shui, a successful engineering friend of
my told me the story that his clay roof (orange/red) was covered in greenish
algae. His parents decided to clean the roof and give it the original orange
/ red tiles. He related that overall, their house is in a good Shapes and
Form and the additional green material on the roof provided added good luck.
After they cleaned the roof, coincidentally, the luck declined.
Overall, it is safe to have green roofs. This implies the wood element.
However, in Feng Shui under the Shapes and Form School an expert Feng Shui
Master will look at e.g. the house in relation to others and see what
element your house is in relation to the neighbourhood.
For example, a short while ago, I made some comments on the Feng Shui of
office buildings. In my city, some foreign Feng Shui Masters advised their
clients to built tall buildings in a specific shape. For example, if there
are lots of offices classified as wooden structures, they usually advise
their clients to build e.g. a fire building to destroy the wooden thus
creating wealth. The Bank of China in Hong Kong is a well known case and the
building comprises two elements. It is mean to subdue other nearby buildings
and thus create `wealth'.
This is one example of how the Five elements is used in relation to houses
or buildings.
One useful book I always recommend to understand the Five Elements concept
is a book by Derek Walters called " Feng Shui Handbook ". He has another
book called Feng Shui. If you compare his book with others available you
will notice that he truly understands and practise Feng Shui which is based
on the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. Not unlike some new books written
even by famous authors who are in my opinon is very poor in their knowledge
and the application of the Five Elements. Such authors I feel, give false
hope and I personally feel do more harm than good to anyone. Some of these
authors are best at only coming up with general books and the safer books
are on the Shapes and Forms.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil Lee

Wow!! -- Salud for all the advices I have read so far since I joined this
mail list!!!! Although nothing is yet applicable to me as I am still in the
process of organizing to move out of this place I am now, my mind is
boggling with info I have so far gathered and mean to put in separate
folders for referencing later on after I have moved.
The good thing about your sites and including this mailing list is that you
are not the "greedy" types who mean to extract more business for your own
selves. It will be nice for you advisers here if this is so but you all
come across as the honest and caring ones I have encountered so far and I
don't even know you personally. It will be an honour to even just shake
your hands and you better believe this, y'all!!
For example, houses with blue roofs is never recommended, because it is
like water on top of you, which means you face lots of problems.
Anyway, can I ask another question? -- the place I am moving in has green
baked tiles for roof, what does that mean or will mean to me personally?
'Hope to hear from you, and thanks again for all your wonderful advices not
only to me but to us all members of this group. My only problem is that I
cannot see past the right side of my screen and have to scroll out or hit
the reply button so I can read it all in one page without the scrolling.

[How to improve luck]

Dear Ber,
As I have mentioned that the Chinese saying goes:-
First Destiny,
Second Luck,
Third Feng Shui.
Here you will notice that the common Traditional approach is:-
1. (First Destiny) - Here we can find out the omens of our Heaven `Luck'
and understand it better.
2. Luck....
3. Feng Shui - Is to look at our Earth `Luck'.
By doing 3, you can do something about your Earth Luck. While the Heaven
Luck, you can understand it better and in someways `avoid' certain
inauspiciousness and take advantage of auspicious periods.
Hope that helps.
Cecil

[Advise on placement of a Bird feeder]

Dear Iz,
There are quite alot of controversies in relation to wind chimes today is
because of the following:-
1. Some Feng Shui practioners after auditing a house (most likely want to
earn more income) ask the household to purchase quite alot of windchimes.
Some `victims' fall prey and hang more than 3 or more wind chimes.
2. Recently there are many books on Feng Shui and without understanding
further, many think that wind chimes are universally considered Feng Shui
enhancers.
From the above, you can understand why many who place more than one wind
chime get into problems. As one place a few wind chimes without proper
knowledge, the chances are it may be placed in a bad or inauspicious Flying
Star location.
For a wind chime, it is best to avoid:-
1. Wind chimes with five tines or rods. Five under the Flying Star is
unasupicous. Placing a wind chime with five rods at the wrong location
spells trouble especially if it is an inauspicous location of the Flying
Star. Particularly if there is a star 5 present in the location.
2. Avoid wind chimes with hollow rods.
3. Hanging five or more wind chimes at a particular location can be quite
`risky'. It may result in someone in the family getting a mental illness.
4. Hanging windchimes opposite a yin location e.g. facing a graveyard or a
location with yin concentration: For example, the location is West plus in
addition of having quite alot of trees planted there. Too many trees create
too yin an environment. If there is also too much water in the location, too
much water is also considered Yin.
Here, if you are not careful, hanging a wind chime e.g. on a tree may
inadvertently attract playful imps to the location due to the sound of the
wind chime. In such a situation, one may not have a peaceful sleep and most
likely have nightmares.
The above `obsession' with wind chimes may lead to problems as mentioned
above.
What about placing a single wind chime?
Many people have never heard of Feng Shui and do see a wind chime, buy it
and hang it at a location they like. There is nothing wrong in this. Most
of all, we do rely on our instinctions or six sense. Without relying on Feng
Shui, we thus use our personal `feelings' and naturally (most of the time)
we do not encounter problems such as above.
Sometimes, it is better off not knowing a little of Feng Shui. This is
because, nowadays, many of us simply pick up a Feng Shui book, read in
between the lines and then immediately start to interpret what was said e.g.
wind chimes are good enhancers and start to buy not one but a few. This is
where all the trouble begin. Even when we eat, do we try to over eat? We
should eat moderately. This is the same with Feng Shui.
In your case, if you have not done a Flying Star analysis, you can:-
1. Do not use any wind chime with 5 rods.
2. You can try to place the wind chime as mentioned under a garden arch. But
do monitor the situation. Usually this is acceptable because the impact of a
wind chime is not as bad as having a few around the house. Usually, based on
our six sense (without relying on Feng Shui) is good enough.
Since you are moving house, where possible, my advise is not to clutter the
centre-point of the house. At the same time, never place any fish tank at
the centre of the house. So far, I have known a few instances where: the
male of the house gets into financial difficulties and the female of the
house gets sick and if prolonged placement of the fish tank, may be fatal.
Best wishes,
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Now this reminds me -- I have a blue metal windchime that has a bird feeder
at the top just for smallist birdies. How will this come up with Feng
Shui -- water (for blue) and windchime (for sounds). It is so
beautiful. I used to hang it right in front of the back door under the
verandah and I have birds really going for the seeds I put there and they
make the chimes ring. Where will be the best position for this
kind *if* it is considered a Feng Shui item? I am moving house in about 5
or 6 weeks, so I am in the process of planning some things to put in my
house for best position. The place where I want to put this is
under a garden arch where creeping jasmines now grow profusely on the right
side of the driveway (facing in) at the front of the house.
Will this be all right? My house is a south house, meaning the front door
is facing south if you are facing the front door.
Thanks for any advice you can give me.....

[I-Ching Coins: Can they bring good luck?]

Dear Jason,
I personally feel that in `this line' i.e. Feng Shui, whoever comes up with
a product to sell should provide some justification in doing so.
Likewise, when we reply to a question, usually, it would be best to provide
the reason for doing so.
You have asked a good question because it is not adviseable for any
individual particularly like you have mentioned a weak wood person to be in
contact with the coins. (As Metal Destroy's Wood).
Currently, there is no basis for anyone to carry six -iching coins around in
Feng Shui. I feel that it is more a marketing tool than a Feng Shui
enhancement. Perhaps carrying a rabbit's foot can give one equal luck?
The real idea behind Feng Shui is more to locate beneificial Qi and to
negate Sha Qi.
Lets take a look at this Chinese statement:-
" Chinese value Destiny so highly that it is the FIRST in ORDER of their TOP
priorities, SECOND: Luck and THIRD: Feng Shui. "
Here you will notice that contrary to our expectations and beliefs, LUCK is
`on it's own ' and not directly associated to Feng Shui.
Therefore, what you have mentioned is more of Personal Beliefs than Feng
Shui.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

[Can I use S shape handle for my kitchen cabinet?]

Dear Ber,
For the kitchen, the most important position is the location of the stove
and the various water positions. These are of utmost prority.
As for the kitchen cabinet, other than for those who know the Imperial
Chinese carpentry measurements, it is less important than the above. As for
choosing the " S " handly, it is perfectly ok.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Hi
A feng shui teacher told us that our house had a lot of water and helped us
to arrange
the furnitures. I am renovting my kitchen cabinet and thinking to choose
"S" shape handle for the cabinet. From your site, I knew that "S" shape
represent water. Can I still use "S" shape handle for the cabinets?
Pls enlighten, the renovation is starting on wed. I can still change the
design of the handle before the contractor fix the cabinet.
Thanks

Dear Cecil or Robert
This topic was posted a few weeks ago but there was no answer, and since
I'm very interested in the subject, here goes again...
Can we apply feng shui to gardens (both vegetable and flower)? Would this
be the Shapes and Form? It has been mentioned in the forum that too many
plants and/or trees create an excessively yin environment. What is meant by
too many? If I have my vegetables in orderly rows, does this create yang or
yin energy?

Yes, there are four important theories which can be applied:-
1. The Four Symbolic Animals Theory concept;
This would depend on the gradient of your land and if there are any
`tall buildings' around. If there are tall buidlings around that shade that
side of the house or land, then you have to find out what type of plants
that you can plant there.
Normally, the advice is to plant plants at the East (Rising sun) or the
Dragon side and because of the `heat' in the West (afternoon sun), this is
less ideal especially in Equatorial countries. Most plants may die due to
the intense heat.
2. The Yin and Yang Concept
Another point is that under the Four Symbolic Animals Concept for example,
the West is said to be Yin and for a landed property or even highrise, it is
best not to plant too many plants or trees at this location which may create
too yin an environment which is conducive to `spirits'.
For the garden, it should have a balance of Yang e.g. stones, bricks etc..
and Yin e.g. plants and water position.
3. You can Ba Gua template or plan an " S " shaped garden. What this means
is that garden should be landscaped and avoid straight paths where
necessary. Straight paths creates Sha Qi.
4. A lovely garden is conducive to birds. Birds in the garden is very
auspicious.

Quote

Does the direction of my front door affect my garden plans? (It is
west-facing)
Please read above. Your garden should be proportionate to the amount of land
and flowers that are `low' and do not grow high are acceptable. It must not
grow uncontrolled into e.g. a jungle environment.
And finally, do red flowers attract chi?

In general flowers of any colours are attractive and pleasing. If they
smell, nice, it is even better.
As `cut-flowers' do not last long, it is acceptable to be placed in the
home. It does not `attract' qi but do give one a sense of `calm' etc...
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Hi Cecil,
Is there a fixed pattern flow of chi in & within the house? Does 'chi' only
comes in from the main door or it can also come in from the windows. When I
open my main door, it is quite windy, do this have any relation to the flow
of 'chi'?

Let me take an example of HDB flats where nearly 90 percent of the Singapore
population lives. Many of these houses are `unique'. Especially the older
flats e.g. the 3 room flats with flat roofs and rectangular shape or the
five room `point block' flats.
Many of these flats have more `light' and `air' flowing from the windows of
the living room and this exit out of the kitchen or the rooms. The qi in
such cases is more intense than coming from the main door which can be at
the side of the living room.
Some more `innovative' Feng Shui practioners have taken account of this.
What they do is that would advise the client to `prevent' qi from coming
directly into the living room windows and exit out of the e.g. the kitchen
windows. One simple method is to close diagonal set of windows. This concept
is the same as avoiding qi flowing out of the home immediately.
Qi can be classified into various categories:
1. If one has a store room and if one do go into it, you can feel that you
are `suffocating'. This can be considered as bad. Another qi classified
under this category is `dead qi' which is bad. It is ` stagnant ' and non
moving.
2. Beneficial Qi. This qi can be described as qi coming in from the living
room windows or main door. If it is allowed to meander and flow slowly
around the home, it is good.
3. Sha Qi is any poison arrows pointed towards the home. It can also be the
qi of the ceiling beam `pressing' down or exerting a force.
Here, we do not use the Compass School of Feng Shui but rather the Shapes
and Form School of Feng Shui. Under the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui,
as you have mentioned the `frontage' of the house should preferably be
`bright'. Therefore, for a HDB flat or just any home you also need to
consider the " FRONTAGE " of the house.

Quote

Can I enhance fengshui, just from my bedroom?
Let say if I rent a room or the breadwinner (parents) of the house do not
want to "practise" fengshui.

You can still practise:
1. Yin and Yang concept i.e. you have to ask yourself, how you use your
room?
Do you work? or study? If you work, then most likely you come home to rest.
So make the room more `yin'. If you study you may make it more `yang'.
2. Use the personal best directions under the Eight House Theory.
3. You can do a Flying Star of the sector where you sleep to see what are
the stars " flying " in you room for the period of time.
4. You can use the Pillars of Destiny to understand your heaven luck and by
understanding it, you can have some influence on your life.

Cecil Lee

[Improving Feng Shui]

Dear Suzhen,
Apologise for the delay in reply. Currently I am unable to do any more house
audits for the time being because of my schedule and projects for the
website.
Perhaps, you may want to get assistance from other Feng Shui Practioners in
Singapore. Due to my tight schedule, I am unable to provide assistance in
your case or go thru them in detail.
What you have analysed using the Eight House Theory is not enough to find
out your various `problems'. This is because the Eight House Theory is not a
`diagnostic' tool of Feng Shui. More refined tools that can aid a better
understanding or improve your situation includes the anaysis of your house
using the Flying Star and the individual elements and their strengths for
each of your family members.
Please accept my sincere apologies.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil Lee

Dear Cecil
My husband and my son are North House persons, I'm South and my daughter is
NE.
Our main door faces NE. The bed in our master bedroom is sitting on west
facing East. My young son's single bed is next to ours and is about one foot
away from an overhead beam. According to Eight House Theory, the beds are in
the Irritation, Disaster and Death sectors. We have moved the beds'
position when we consulted a FS practitioner in 1996. It was originally
sitting East facing West. I was the one who is always not well since we
moved in. I was always having fall before I changed the position of the bed
but now I have indigestion and tightness of the chest (which only occur
after I went to bed) and
all kinds of minor illness. Where should I place my bed.My daughter is
sleeping with her feet facing west and her bed is sitting on west. Her desk
is in the spook sector, ajoining the bed. Although her bed is in the health
sector, her head is in the spook sector. Can I move her desk to the wall
facing west which is Longevity sector and she sleeps with her feet facing
East? Both my children always do not perform well in school exams although
they are not below average students. I thought it has something to do with
the FS. My son's desk is in the Longevity sector facing south of another
room. How can I improve on the FS of the house.? After accessing your site I
am confused because the FS practitioner I had didn't seem to do a good job.
My kitchen is worse. Before I had my stove in the East such that I had my
back facing West when I am cooking.. Now the stove is facing North just
below a beam (which I only noticed after reading up on your site) and facing
the kitchen entran!
ce!
. It is in the death sector of the North House. There is no other place I
can place the cooker now., Can you please suggest any cures?
Thank you/Suzhen

[My bedroom door faces childrens]

Dear Chris,
If the doors are used frequently, there are really nothing much you can do.
This is because if two doors are facing each other, it signifies that each
occupants of either room will not be in good terms with each other.
Early this year, one user wrote in to say that his main entrance door faces
directly his neighbours and something like one metre between them. He
mentioned that they are frequently at logger heads.
The only alternative is to see if the doors can be located separately (where
possible) if not, you may try to close the door but it may not be effective
thou.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

[starting to feng shui a room]

Dear Marissa,
Currently, there is quite alot of talk regarding books written recently by
Lillian Too. In the Feng Shui Internet community; particulary the Western
Trational Feng Shui Schools mentioned their concern over what she is
teaching.
If one is new to Feng Shui and having read some of her books, would quickly
come to the conclusion that Feng Shui uses `fixed' templates. For example,
many people after reading her books thought that all Feng Shui is based on
Fixed stations of the Eight Aspirations or Life Aspirations.
In my opinion, some Feng Shui authors resort to capitalize on the ' static "
Life Aspirations by `declaring' that North is career, South signifies Fame
etc... Such theories are harmful especially if we `eat and sleep' using
such theories only. It may prove harmful.
In the last 6 months, many novice Feng Shui users after reading such books,
go into Fast Food Feng Shui and started to place wind chimes, enhancing
their " Romance " corners. Feng Shui is far from this.
Real authentic Feng Shui is more importantly based on:-
1. Shapes and Form
2. Compass Schools: Both Eight House and Flying Star
3. The Five Elements relationship e.g. the element and its strength.
Nowadays, authors who seem to `preach' Fast Food Feng Shui can do more harm
than good to a person.
We constantly ask ourselve, if everything is fixed, can it apply to
individuals? For example, if everyone of your office colleagues start to
place a rose at the `Romance' corner, enhance the North or Career sector or
South = Fame sector can this work for all?
I would recommend that you read instead Derek Walters " Feng Shui Hand book
" with some important topics on the Five Elements. The way to go is to
understand equally the Yin and Yang Principle and the Five Elements concept.
These are stepping stones to understanding real Feng Shui.
All your questions below refers more to the " Life Aspirations or Eight
Aspirations ". As mentioned above, these are too general a theory to follow
in real Feng Shui.
I personally feel that you are better off, using your personal instincts
than to follow such a static theory. This static theory can be `followed'
after you have done all other Feng Shui analysis. Only when you have the
time or have nothing else to enhance, then you may if you want to use it. I
am not sure if it will help thou.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil Lee

i just began learning about feng shui through Lillian Too's 8 easy steps.
but i keep hearing things that aren't included in the book (ex. prosperity
corners). what i've done so far is calculate my kua number which is #1. i
used that to determine my auspicious and inauspicious corners.
1. if south signifies fame and that is an auspicious corner for me, what
is the next step?
2. i am a youngest daughter, which means that i belong in the west of the
house. but my room is in the south and southeast. how does this affect my
feng shui?
3. do i have to divide my room into 8 sections and place something of
importance according to 8-house and put it there?
4. are there any particular color schemes that i should pay attention to.
5. how should i deal with auspicious corners?

[Best colour for west facing entrance door]

Dear Nansi,
Here are the points to note:-
1. It is still best to avoid painting the main entrance door at the West
this year. Although this is not as bad as offending the Tai Shu which is at
the East this year, the West is called the 3 killings.
If you really want to, you can still repaint the West. If you are not in a
hurry, perhaps, you can do it after the next Chinese New Year.
2. The House is considered overall as a Metal House. In such a situation, it
has not much impact on your Strong Earth. The best colour to avoid for a
Strong Earth is Red, Pink or Purple (which belongs to the Fire element).
2.1 Under the Productive Sequence of the 5 elements concept, Fire enhances
Earth and as you are a strong Earth person, try to avoid the Fire element.
2.2 Under the Destructive Sequence of the 5 elements concept, Wood destroys
Earth. Since you are a Strong Earth person, some wood would be good to
control the Strong Earth.
Normally, it is still best that you know the Flying Star numbers at the Main
Entrance to see if there is any impact on it with relation to the type of
Flying Stars at the location.
If not, in general, you should avoid painting the front door pink, red or
purple or any of the range of such colours. Here there are two caution:-
1. Pink, Red or purple are of the Fire Element and is no good for your
Strong Earth.
2. Fire element also destroys Metal element. Here, it would also have to
depend on the type of Flying Stars at the location. Fire may inadvertently
weaken the Metal element i.e. the Main Entrance door position.
The best colours at this point in time, is to paint the wall at the main
entrance: White (Metal element) or Light Green. (Green represents Wood and
it is good as it will weaken your Strong Earth making it more `neutral'. But
I still feel white would be best for a West door location. The ideal door is
for you to use natural wood colours e.g. varnished wood door or brown
coloured door.
Brown or wood is a good choice as it will neutralise or weaken your Strong
Earth.. making it` more neutral '.
For your NW bedroom, you can use neutral White. But if you want to
neutralise some of your Strong Earth, you can paint the room light green.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

[Grave site adjacent to backyard of house]

Dear Felicia,
In this situation, we can apply the Yin and Yang Principle.
Under the Yin and Yang Principle, grave sites and the Church are considered
" Yin ". In such a situation, you need to counteract this with Yang element.
What you can do here is:-
1. If your house has brick walls, natural red brick walls are ideal. Red is
the most Yang of all the colours.
2. If the walls are plastered and smoothed, you can paint this side of the
wall red or any other Yang colours e.g. bright green, bright blue etc...
3. For the window frame, you should also paint it in matching bright
colours.
4. Avoid too many trees particularly large ones as this can harbour the
`spirits'. Please also avoid too many plants. Keep this location trimmed.
5. Where possible use bright coloured curtains e.g. with a dash of red in
it. (If you can). But be careful, try not to make the rooms here dark. Best
to let be `bright.'
If you notice above, what we are trying to create is to increase as much
Yang energy on this side of the house to offset the negative Yin energy of
the grave site and the Church.
There is nothing much you can do about the septic tanks. It is not a real
issue here. At this location do remember to avoid having a pool or water
element as too much water is also considered " Yin ".
Two other points to note:-
1. Avoid too much decorative items particularly ceramic vases or decorations
in the rooms at this area.
2. More importantly, my advise is not to hang any wind chimes in the home.
Certain `wave lenght' may inadvertenly attrack `attention' from unwanted
visitors.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

[How to enhance 'weak earth' ?]

Dear Jason,
There are two ways you can make enhancements:-
- In your home or office.
- Personal
In your home:-
1. Are you staying alone or with your family. If you have a family, it is
best to look at your `weak earth' in relation to your spouse.
For example, if your spouse is a Strong Wood person, as Wood destroys Earth,
you need more of `earth' element then if she is of another element or a
weaker strength.
What happens if your spouse is a Strong Fire element. As Firer enhances
Earth, this is a good relationship. Alternatively if your spouse is a Earth
person, you can benefit by her Earth element.
What I mean here is that in your home and if you are married, you have to
take into consideration, your partner's element and strength in order to
find something that both can benefit from. Sometimes, an enhance for you
i.e. Weak Earth may without proper consideration for your spouse, be
detriment for her.
2. If you are not married, this is ok. You still need to consider where is
the main entrance of the house.
For example if the main entrance door is facing East, this is beneifical to
you as the house element is South (Fire) and you need less of earth element
in the house.
Lets take another example. If your main entrance is facing East (Wood
element location) As Wood weaks Earth, you need more of either Fire element
or Earth element in your home.
Therefore, my advise is to consider 1. the spouse, 2. the home before making
a decision to make enhancements. In addition, you also need to consider the
Flying Star chart of the house. This is because certain locations are
`sensitive' to the flying stars. This is because, if a certain location
cannot have addition of `earth' by adding earth element, it will cause
problems to the person.
(The above approach can also be applied to the office but more towards the
flying star template.)
3. You can enhance your `weak earth' by wearing e.g. clothers colours
associated with Earth element.
There is a free report at www.geomancy-online.com where a person keys his
element and its strength and a report is provided to give advise on what
are the elements favourable to the person.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

[Fountain Search for near outside entrance]

Dear Donna,
Thanks for your detailed information about the various fountains.
Overall, when purchasing a fountain please take note of the following:-
1. Circular fountains are ideal. (Avoid purchasing any fountains with
pointed edges, rounded edges are the best).
2. Avoid placing any rocks that symbolises a creature or some unknown shape
resembling a person, an animal etc..
3. Avoid having an animal or fish or any other objects with their `mouth'
open facing the house. This will create problems for the breadwinner as a
hungry mouth symbolizes a need to feed it. This may bring illness or loss
of fortune to the household.
4. A fountain should not be `cluttered' with figurines and ideally, and has
a clean shape.
5. If you are placing the fountain outside the house, it can be placed
along the frontage of the house.
6. Bear in mind the Yin and Yang Theory i.e. have a balance between Yin and
Yang. Yin refers to anything soft e.g. the grass verge the garden area.
Yang refers to rocks or metal or anything that is hard.
Look for a balance in the exterior of the house and look at how asthetic
the fountain can blend to the house.
Most of all, feel free to select a fountain that both you and your family
and one that you personally like very much.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

What is most auspicious to look for in a fountain? Sidewalk and garden
area beside it in entrance area is actually a missing area of
house...Knowledge and spirituality bagua.
I'm looking at lower fountains with soft sounding waterfall type
sounds/appearance.
One has a lighthouse on tiered rocks. Lighthouse not my favorite but tiered
rocks very nice for water to run over.
One is a large open tulip shaped bowl with a dragon (would be about waist
high).
One is called woodland, with water to run over rocklike area with raccoon
sitting on top.
All these are grayish cement colors.
A very beautiful one is aqua in color. A large bowl on a pedestal with a
flower and a hummingbird above that. It is about 4-5 feet tall and seems a
bit overpowering for my area, even tho the color and the scene are lovely.
I am adding round gray river rock in the area that will suggest a "Rock
Creek", at the end of which I will place the fountain/waterfall. What might
you suggest?

My main door is facing NE. There is a toilet directly above the door which

The only `realistic' advise is to check if there are any pipes that can be
seen above the main entrance door ceiling. In such a situation, it would be
best that it be `covered' up e.g. a false ceiling.
Check to see that the toilet bowl is not directly above the main entrace
door. If this is the case, this would be better.
Otherwise, there are nothing much you can do but to ensure that the pipes
are not leaking.

Here you have to be `careful'. Sometimes, it may not be a missing corner
but instead, a `protuding corner'. One test is to see if there are any rooms
occupying the rest of the area next to the missing corner. If this is the
case, then it is a missing corner.
It can be a protuding corner if both the SE missing corner and the

[Southern Hemisphere]

Dear Shelley,
I glad that you find the site useful. Feel free to use the " Search "
feature on most pages of the website or for specific messages, login to this
forum, there is also a Search icon. This is one of the most easiest way to
search through the vast amounts of information available in this website.
To answer your question:
1. The correct Romanized words for Feng Shui is : " Feng Shui ". The
rest of the spelling are not proper way to write Feng Shui.
2. For more about the North-South debate go to this url:
http://www.geomancy.net/fs/addsites.htm#SOUTH
In general, most Feng Shui practioners (Traditional Schools) like myself
believe that you do not need to alter or change the theory even " down under
". Feng Shui Theories especially the Compass Schools Theory should not be
modified for the South.
Another point to note is that in the above URL, you should also read the
Confessions of Lin Yun of the Black Sect Tantric Buddist or Black Hat Sect
Feng Shui. This school is NOT recognised by Traditional Feng Shui Practice.
Just today, I received an e-mail from a webmaster of a Black Hat Sect asking
to be conferred with the Feng Shui Award (this award is from Geomancy.net
inconjunction with Wind and Water Ring). I commented to the webmaster that
his site is lovely and nice BUT, his site did not criteria for the Award as
it does not practise Traditional Feng Shui.
My advise is also not to read from only one author but as many as possible.

1. In some of the books I have, they give an English pronunciation for Feng

2. As I live in New Zealand, I have wondered if a book suggests that the
south is a favourabe direction, should I translate that to being the north,
as this is were the sun is down here, or is north, north and south, south no
matter where you live, according to Feng Shui?
That's all for starters.

[A good feng shui restaurant]

Dear Chris,
Thanks for sharing with us your keen observations.
I would like to share with you my comments on the Green Dragon and White
Tiger. Most of us have read and heard about the `ill effects' of the White
Tiger. Contrary to popular belief that it is a `bad' animal, it is equally
considered auspicious animal as it is courageous and even considered a
beautiful animal.
Here, you will notice it it is really no harm and we do not really need to
`tame' the animal or provide a quiet environment.
The only situations to watch out are:-
1. In the natural order, the green dragon and tiger is said to embrace each
other. This is where the higher green dragon hill embraces the lower tiger
hill.
In such a landscape, there is harmony between the dragon and the tiger.
There is a unnatural order where the tiger dominates the dragon. This can be
read under http://www.geomancy.net/fs/four.htm
2. As the West is a Yin location, avoid planting too many plants. Too many
plants create a Yin environment. Too yin environment is no good.
3. Under the Eight House Theory and if this location is inauspcious for a
person, certain details or cures need to be looked at closely.
For example, Chinese often like to hang a red cloth over the main entrance
door.
As red symbolises Fire element; Fire destroys Metal (West location) and if
one is a weak metal person, your metal gets destroyed.
The above are some of the main issues relating to the White Tiger.
Under another Feng Shui Theory i.e Shapes and Forms pertaining to water
positions, we are aware that it is auspicious to have a fountain or even a
waterfall flowing outside the main entrance of a business or home. This is
fast moving qi and considered good.
This is one reason why I feel they must have placed a mini waterfall even if
it is the West side.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Hi there,
I wonder has anyone been to the SIngapore Long Beach restaurant at East
Cost. Take a look at the surroundings, you will find it must has gone
through a feng shui analysis. As I did not bring my compass (luo pang) with
me, I could only tell some of the feng shui being applied from form and
shape study.
The restaurant has 2 doors, one in front and the other at the side
(closed). The main entrance is facing the car park, this can be considered
the so-called "ming tan shui" i.e. having "water" in front of the building.
When you enter the restaurant, you will find that the cashier is located at
the right corner of it, which is where the "qi" or energy is consolidated.
Above the cashier, there is an altar facing the main door with a flat "ba
gua" right on top of it. The purpose of the "ba gua" (I think)is to absorb
the good "qi" or energy into the restaurant.
On the left side of the restaurant (looking in from the main entrance) is a
wall with water flowing down. Again, this is to let good wealth following
back to the restaurant.
My question is if you are taking direction with reference to the main
entrance from inside, the right side will be the wall with continuous water
flowing down. From form & shape study, the right side is the White Tiger and
it should be tamed (i.e. quiet) most of the time and having anything active
is not good as it will trigger the white tiger. I believe the direction
where the wall is located must be a good location according to 8 house
theory or Flying-Start theory. Any comments from anyone?
Regards,
Chris Ng

[If Back Door facing North]

Dear Dion,
What is common with the Compass School of Feng Shui i.e. the Eight House and
the Flying Star and if we map our Heaven Luck using Pillars of Destiny are
that they have to be personalized to an individual.
For the Shapes and Form School, it is more generalised Feng Shui.
The Eight Aspirations or Life Aspirations is a " free for all ". Anyone can
write a book about it and say that the romance corner is at the South West
while the Career is in the North.
So, you will realise that if you are considering compass directions e.g.
North, you should look at it under the Eight House Theory or the Flying Star
Theory.
Even in the Four Symbolic Animals Principle, it does not say that the back
door facing North is bad. Under this theory, a water position behind the
house is bad. It does not also imply that a backdoor at the North is bed.
The only thing I like to relate about the North is that it is common in
Europe or the West to consider North inauspcious. The reason is because most
churches lie North to South and in the bible, it was mentioned (somewhere)
that the North is the home of the devil. When rites are performed, priests
usually face the South.
This has also to do with the Northern lights and the ozone problem in the
north. In addition, the Chinese consider North East, the devil's gate. Which
is close to the North.
Well, you should not worry too much about the North. What you need to do is
at the North and North East sector, avoid planting too many trees. I know
wells are uncommon nowadays, but wells at the North, NE and SW are usually
avoided. The reason is to avoid creating a yin environment (too many trees
or too much water) at these locations.
If you do not have the above, it is fine.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

If my back door is facing North, is it bad? How can I avoid it? I heard if
the door facing North is bad, is this true?
Any info will be very much appreciate! Thanks!
