Hi,
Feng Shui should be personalized to an individual to be effective.
The most common question asked is: Can something so general be applied to
everyone of us?
The answer is No.
Similiarly, even a " famous Feng Shui Master " should not say that it can
apply to anyone.
In the Internet or around you, do question any Feng Shui Practioner. Ask
them what is the reason for saying so. Each person who says something should
backup their words with a reasonal explanation or if it based only on their
opinion, I guess, each of us have the right to judge for ourselves.
Another way of looking at this situation is, what was mentioned by this "
famous Feng Shui Master " does not go down well with the Eight House Theory
or the Flying Star Theory. (Both originate from the same Compass School).
For example, even in the Eight House Theory, there are Eight personalized
directions. So each of us belong to one. In the Flying Star Chart for the
house, each 15 degrees of the compass point, provides a different Flying
Star calculations.
I leave you to judge for yourself, if what was said can be applied to
everyone of us.
Another viewpoint is that South-West happens to be the Devil's backdoor!
Please read this short article I wrote earlier
http://www.geomancy.net/fs/gate.htm Furthermore, SW direction is a Yin
direction.
Warmest Regards
Cecil

Dear cecil, I am a new comer and would like to ask whether it is true
that house facing south-west direction e.g 220 & 268 compass direction is
the best orientation as said by a famous fengshui master.

Dear Evelyn,
Frankly, I see no harm in having two small precious stone elephants. You can
certainly display them proudly.
Elephants are revered in India and Thailand and are considered auspicious.
Warmest Regards,

Hi Cecil,
What about displaying small semi precious stones in the form of an
elephant. I recently bought 2 small ones from India and a jade fish. Are
these OK or I should stick to one only?
Pls advise.

Dear Pedro,
Yes, there are a few considerations for any doors:-
1. It should always open inwards into the house. (Avoid having a door that
opens outwards of the house).
2. If it is the main entrance door, the door or doors should be of equal
size. The door(s) should be proportionate to the frontage or area of the
house.
3. If the door is at the side, it should open towards the wall.
4. It should preferably not be in the "middle " of a room but preferred
that it should be at any one of the side of the room. If not the door would
be `hanging' in the " middle of the room. "
Therefore priority must be given for the door to open inwards. It can be on
any side of the room. Where possible, it should be facing one of your
auspicious intangible force.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Subject: Opening direction of doorsQuoteFrom: "Pedro V."
This message is sent from "free-advice" Mailing List.
Hello Cecil and Robert, and Greetings to all forum members.
I am about to move to an old house. This house is being subject to
reconstruction works, and I would like to know if, in a FS perspective, the
direction on which a door opens is important or not. I ask this because
frequently doors open from the left or from the right towards the inside or
the outside of the division. If important in a FS perspective, which of
these four combinations is better?
Thanks in advance

Dear Evelyn,
I strongly belief, there is truth in what you have mentioned. The most
important part of a business is the front and this falls under the Shapes
and Form School.

Hi Monica,
I worded it wrongly, typo error. His business is doing much better now
because we cleared the drain. One of my friends says that it's due to water
dragon feng shui. I'll have to defer to Cecil on this topic.
Sorry about the confusion.

Dear Irina,
Here are the following points to note:-
1. Ideally, the bedrooms should be one of the four auspicious directions
(Health, Prosperity, Excellent or Longevity). But it is still acceptable if
it is the Irritation or Spook directions. This is much better than the death
/ disaster location.
2. The following are useful guidelines when using the Eight House Theory:-
2.1 Where possible sleep closer to an auspicious intangible force (If this
is not possible, then you do not have much choice.)
2.2 Where possible sleep with the head facing one of the auspiciious
directions. But do bear in mind the Shapes and Form School
of Feng Shui. For example under the Four Symbolic Animals Concept
(reference: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/four.htm )
- Avoid sleeping with the bed against a window or directly facing
the bedroom door.
- Avoid sleeping below a beam or allow poision arrows e.g. sharp
corners of e.g. a study desk or a furniture aimed directly towards
any part of the bed.
2.3 The Eight House Theory is simply to find our good / bad locations and
it is not meant to be used to activate a location or finding a `cure' nor
used to enhance beneficial Qi.
3. Under the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui
I have mentioned that you should follow the guidelines of the Four
Symbolic Animals. For example, even in the interior of the home, there must
be a solid back e.g. for the bed and when we sleep we should not be
`exposed' directly to the bedroom door.
In addition, it is adviseable not to have the bed resting on the same
wall as the toilet or kitchen wall.
Do not display `war' toys e.g. cannons, warplanes, swords etc... in the
child's room. They should be kept in drawers. For girls, it is perfectly OK
to display teddy bears, soft toys etc...
4. Yin and Yang Concept.
As your child is growing, the bedroom can be more `Yang' than `Yin'.
Yin refers to a state of rest and quiet. For example, usually for working
adults, when we come home, one location where it should be more conducive
to rest or a state of Yin is the bedroom.
For the child, it is good to create a more Yang environment. This
includes e.g. more colourful bedsheets, walls can be more yang e.g instead
of using white walls, you can give it a `brighter' coat of paint.
Depending on the location a person live in, try to avoid giving children
`warm' rooms. For example, at the equator, we try to avoid giving the child
a room in the West wing of the house (especially if it exposed to the sun).
Such a room will be warm. Even at night, the walls still retain heat. If
the bed is placed here, remember to leave space between the wall and the
bed.
5. In traditional Feng Shui practise,
A Feng Shui Practioner will usually advise the family to paint the room
with `matching' element of the child and avoid a clash with the child's
eight characters or Ba Zhi. Here if the child is of the wood element,
ideally, the bedroom can be painted green to match his element. Avoid white
which will clash with his element. (In a very broad sense, the strength of
the child's element need not be considered here if you do not want to).
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Cecil/Robert,
I am excited about your site.
Please advice me with my new apartment. The two bedrooms that could be
allocated for our son are in Irritation and Spook directions for him. Is
there a way to help this situation without changing the apartment? Are there
any cures to help?
Sorry for my English. I'm from Ukraine.
Thanks a lot.

Dear Linh,
Yes, you are correct with regards to the toilet next to the main entrance.
The two most inauspicious situations are:-
1. Having the toilet next to your home entrance (at either side).
This is because the main entrance is like the `mouth' of the house and is
considered important as it is considered the first location external Qi
comes into the house.
2. Center of the house.
Best is to keep the center clear. This is where all intangible forces
congregate. A toilet in the center of the house will mean a drain in
financial resources.
Other situations e.g. toilet at the East, West are equally important but
weigthage should be given to the above two points.
Any cures?
They are psuedo-cures or cures that would make us happy but unfortunately
the effects can still be felt even if we do things like closing the door
etc...
Warmest Regards,
Cecil Lee

Dear A..... T.....,
Apologies, this message is meant for a user who had sent me message
privately but when I tried to reply, the server considered my reply as
`spam'. So here goes ......
I am not sure if you have generated Free reports from this link:
http://www.geomancy-online.com
For a start, you can find out more about the Eight House Theory at
http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm
There is a Free Eight House chart both in this link or a free one at the
above link.
You can actually generate many free reports on the above links. Later on,
you may or may not want to consider very comprehensive report such as
Pillars of Destiny which is used widely to determine your Heavenly Luck.
Normally the above reports are very comprehensive and you can also later
avail to support from myself or Robert.
As for the question of wooden elephants for the home. In a very broad
sense, it is nice to have decorations in the home. Overall, it is a good
create as opposed to the displaying animals like Lions or Tigers or
leopards. If such animals are displayed, avoid displaying one with an open
mouth or looks hungry.
For the wooden elephant, displaying one elephant is considered OK. But if
you want to display more, you may have to look at your own Ba Zhi or Eight
Characters to see if you are a strong or week wood person as an example. If
you are already considered a `strong wood' person, then you could use less
of additional wood element. The result could be frequent health problems or
competition in the work place.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil -
Dear Evelyn,
I am glad that your husband's business is doing very well:)
Yes, there is some truth in the remedy used as this is under the Shapes and
Form School of Feng Shui which is equally powerful and is part of the Feng
Shui `package' which includes the Compass School methods i.e. Eight House
and Flying Star.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

This message is sent from "free-advice" Mailing List.
Hi Cecil/Robert,
Recently my husband has been been doing very well in his business.A friend
of mine suggested that it was because of the clogged drain in front of my
house. I have since then remedied that. Is there any truth in this?
Secondly, could you suggest some feng shui ideas which I could use in my
living room or perhaps the bedroom to enhance his business luck?
Thirdly, I have a picture of the 'prosperity cat' from Japan which was
given to me. Is this a good picture to hang in the living room.
Thank you so much for your advice.

Dear Debrah,
I remembered clearly when I was young and at that time, firecrackers were
not banned in my country.
Each Chinese New Year, my parents would purchase lots of fire crackers and
fire works. I remembered clearly that without fail, two rows of fire
crackers measuring around 15 feet were hung on each side of my home's
bunglalow house.
It was nice to hear the crackers go off and at the end of it, the entire
compound including the badminton court was littered in red. Lovely sight.
Fire crackers are meant to:-
1. Scare away " evil spirits ".
2. Red symbolises Good Luck.
I guess, you can say that fire crackers are part of the " Culture " or
practises rather than Feng Shui.
Regarding your fake fire crackers. Here in Feng Shui, we have to look at the
symbolism of fire crackers.
1. Fake firecrackers unlike the real ones do not make noise and infact is
considered quite " useless " or in effective in `scarying away ' if you
want to call them `evil spirits'.
Other more effective methods are used e.g. the Ba gua mirror (Pakua
mirror) or the use of Charms.
2. The only symbolic factor is that it is red in colour. Red represents the
Fire element.
It is preferred that the fake fire cracker is not placed in a Yin
location e.g. a bedroom.
3. The other caution is it may have an impact on those who are e.g. Weak
Water person, where fire destroys water making it weaker.
This is one example used in Feng Shui.
4. The other factor to consider is the Flying Star Chart of the house and
whether this element distrubs the balance of the `flying stars'.
To answer your question, I think spirits are equally smart and can clearly
`see thru' fake fire crackers. The Ba Gua (Feng Shui) or the correct use of
a proper charm (Chinese customs) are a much better choice. But in my
personal experience, the best `bet' is not to any how use wind chimes. The
wrong frequency etc.. may inadvertently attract these playful imps.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Would you please advise if there are any negative impacts by hanging

Are they for the purpose of scaring away spirits trying to get into the

Subject: Rest Room next to my EntranceQuoteFrom: "Linh Huynh"
This message is sent from "free-advice" Mailing List.
Hi all, I am living in a house that having a bathroom and toilet next to my
entrance. Someone told me that if I cannot see the bathroom door when I walk
into the house is OK. But when I read some Feng shui book they recommend
that bathroom should be not located next to the main entrance. Someone else
say that bathrooms should be not at the center line of the house.
I really confuse because most houses are designed like that if not the
bathroom will placed in either the wealth or marriage sector of the Bagua.
Could you tell me where is the best location for the bathroom
Thanks a lot

Dear Linh,
Here are the following guidelines on the toilet:-
1. Ideal situations are where the toilet bowl should not be actually on the
following points:-
0 degrees - North, 45 degrees - NE, 90 degrees - East, 135
degrees - South East, 180 degrees - South, 225 degrees - South West, 270
degrees - West and 315 degrees - North West.
Why?
Most likely if the toilet bowl is at this location, chances are it will
be on one of the Eight Trigrams which can be either an auspicious or
inauspicious location.
What is the definition of toilet here:-
Ideally, this exact compass point should not be the location of the
toilet bowl or (sewerage pipe). It is still acceptable for a basin or
shower room.
2. Other locations that are not auspicious for a toilet:-
2.1 Centre-point of the house. If the toilet is at the centrepoint
of the house, your finances will continue to be drained.
2.2 Next to the main entrance either on the right or left.
2.3 If the toilet is on the second storey or (second level), it should
not be above the main entrance or any other rooms e.g. above the bed you
sleep on, the dining room, the living room or the kitchen.
If you follow the above `argument' it is best to locate the toilet away from
the above locations (where possible). Otherwise, you may have to close the
toilet door. This is not a fix but you really cannot do much if they happen
to be anywhere as mentioned above.
In the past, in ancient China, homes " avoided " the above situation by
having the toilet a distance away from the home. I guess, this cannot be
avoided for modern homes.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Monica,
In my personal opinion, this idea of " spare bedroom - bad for children "
is more towards `superstitious belief ' then Feng Shui.
In Feng Shui, so long as:-
1. More concerned is placed on the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui. For
example, the bed is not next to a window or sleeping under a beam for a
prolonged time, bedroom should preferably not be above the kitchen. A
poison arrow e.g. the sharp edge of a table `slicing' the bed.
These are some of the examples to take note in relation to Feng Shui for
adults and children.
2. The other consideration is most Tradtional Feng Shui practioners would
advise that even children sleep in rooms that suit them.
If the visit is temporary and not long term, there is no basis in the above
statement or I have not come across it before.
As your daughter is 22, the room can have a more `yang' feel and it would be
great if it has a radio etc.. to liven the room.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Michelle,
Thank you for your kind words on the forum. Nowadays, this forum has grown
quite large and there are many who have joined the forum from day one and
there are also new users.
Therefore, the best approach is to try to have a " balance " in the
information provided. For those of you who have been with the forum for
quite a while, if you have constructive advice, feel free to share it with
all of us. Learning is two way and it is nice to hear from everyone.
Back to your question.
There are a few practioners who have the view point that:-
1. One should sleep on a raised bed. This is to allow Qi to pass thru under
the bed.
2. Others feel that the above argument may not be implemented and not
important.
Some of us sleep on beds with four wooden supports with `air' flowing
underneath the bed. This group of practioner says that it is essential that
you have air movement under the bed.
What happens when we sleep on boxed bed with four rollers under the bed. The
gap to allow air or Qi to flow below no longer becomes quite possible.
Some of us even sleep on the floor or like `Japanese beds'.
In my personal opinion, most of us close our bedroom windows or door and the
`argument' for Qi to circulate becomes a non issue. Where I stay, because of
the heat, I turn on the airconditioner the whole night. External air
(external Qi) do not come in.
To me, again, having air flow under the bed is either a non-issue but to
applease some FS practioners, we can call it of " Secondary importance ".
Get your Feng Shui `correct' both external and internal of the house and
worry less on such minute details or " non " issues.
Another important factor in Feng Shui is: If you cannot see it, it no longer
becomes a Feng Shui issue. For example, if you have a beam above your head,
use a false ceiling and once you cannot see the beam, it no longer becomes
an issue.
Similiarly, if a poison arrow or a sharp corner is pointed towards your
bedroom window, when you use a thicker set of curtain or blinds; once you
cannot see the poision arrow, it no longer becomes a threat.
In your friends limited bedroom space, it is ok to place things below the
bed. This is a non-issue for the following reasons:-
1. What is below you cannot hurt. Contrast this to placing all the
belongings above you e.g. on an unused double decker bed. Here, it is akin
to a " beam " above your head or something pressing down on you.
2. If all the things that your friend had kept are `precious' to her, it
would be " emotionally " bad to throw them away!
Therefore, what I feel is, keep what she feels is necessary:) If she cannot
bear to `throw' any away, keep all of them:)
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Subject: Stuff under the bed...QuoteFrom: "Michelle Delgadillo"
This message is sent from "free-advice" Mailing List.
I want to take a moment to say "Thank You" for all that you provide to
those of us that are just getting started and to those who know much more.
It is a blessing in disguise. Now, on with my question.
My friend has very limited space in her bedroom. She has a daybed and has
a lot of "stuff" neatly organized "under" the bed, ex: in footlocker,
containers etc.. Is this bad Feng Shui? If so, do you have any solutions as
to what she might possibly do?
Thanks, Michelle

Dear Glyn,
Thanks for bring up this subject.
First of all, for the benefit of those who do not know what is the " Deadly
five yellows ", I will give a brief sumarry of the points relating to it
although it has been covered earlier on in this forum. (For those who want
to read earlier messages can try to use the " Search " feature once you
logged into www.geomancy-forum.com Perhaps search for " Five yellow ".
1. Feng Shui `revolves' around the Five Elements Concept. Here, the
Five Elements is represented by either a name or a number or a colour or a
combination of them.
For example, lets look at the element " Earth ". Under the Five
Elements Concept, Earth is one of the 5 elements and it also represents:
Element, Colour and Number
Earth, yellow and the number Five.
2. From the above, we can now understand that " Five yellow " actually
represents the Earth element.
3. In this `Rabbit' Year, under the Flying Star (base star), the
inauspicious number 5 happens to be at the South. This is also called the
`Bad 5 yellow '.
Generally, this is good for book authors as there is something to write
about for the general public. This was `told' to those who know about it
before the beginning of this year. How is it that so many of us are
unaffected by this?
Well, for one, the Flying Star can be as general as one wants it to be or as
complicated as one wants it to get. In the above example we are only
looking at the base number of the Flying Star. Remember that under the
Flying Star House Chart, there are two stars flying above this base number.
For those who know abit of the flying star or have generated the
computerised report will see something like:-
4 5
5
Where in this particular situation, this topic of " Five Yellow " happens to
be the base number. It is as good as saying that all houses must have
`roofs'.
We must fine tune this and include the other two stars (above the base
star). One of the stairs is called the mountain star (sitting star) and the
water star (facing star) and it's relationship in other to get a better
picture.
Even the remarks " during the eighth lunar month it is doubly bad." is also
a generalised statement. Does it affect everyone? The answer is no.
For two reasons:-
1. We have not done a `personalised' Flying Star Chart. If so, the
`personalised ' chart definitely takes precedence over the above generalised
statement.
2. The Flying Star Chart can analyse a Period, a year, a month, a day, an
hour and minutes. Even the eight lunar month can be subdivided into days of
the month, hour and mintues. Each alternate day is yang, yin and a
particular element govern each day.
Therefore, what I am trying to say is, it is not always adviseable to follow
generalised statements if you have more ` exact ' or personalised details
about ourselves.
I like to leave this thought: " Books or general advice can only be given
to a wide public but it does not necessary hold true for everyone. "
One test is : with so much remarks raised about the Bad Five Yellow at the
South since the start of the year, are you personally affected by it? or
does everyone in your family affected by it? If your answer is NO, then, you
have made the first move in `discounting' such general talk.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Hi Cecil
Would you please explain what the "Deadly five yellows" are which I believe
are in the south this year. I also read that during the eighth lunar month
it is doubly bad.
Is this a general comment. Would not the Flying Stars of this sector in
each individual house have to be taken into account before one can say,
hang a 5 rod metal wind chime in the south or have a water feature in the
south ?
In my particular case I have pot plants and a water feature.
Perhaps other forum members may also be interested in your expert
explanation.
Many thanks

Dear Keat Siang,
I am glad you find this forum useful:)

Subject: My toilet is in an auspicious locationQuoteFrom: "Keat-Siang Goh"
This message is sent from "eight-house" Mailing List.
Hi. Thank you for this wonderful forum.
I have just finished reading some books, and so far, I have determined that
my PakuaLoshu number is 9 because I was born in 1973, so my auspicious
directions are N, E, SE and S. Is this correct?
Yes, based on the Eight House Theory, (male) you are a " South House "
person and you have correctly mentioned that your auspicious locations are N
(Longevity), E (Prosperity), SE (Health) and South (your Excellent)
direction. For more information on the significance of each of the sectors
please go to http://www.geomancy.net/fs/goodbad.htmQuoteAlso, I understand that N is the career corner. Is this correct?
This is based on the Eight Associations or Eight Aspirations or Life
Aspirations concept. It does not take into consideration a person's
individual Gua ( Kua) number.
I have mentioned in an earlier message that it would be best to use:-
1. Eight house theory to find the most suitable house or auspicious sitting
directions. Other than this, don't be mistaken and use the Eight House to do
`wonders' e.g. find a cure etc... The Eight House cannot be used to find
`cures' or enhancements.
2. Pillars of Destiny (Feng Shui portion) to find not only the person's
element but it's strength.
3. The Flying Star or birth chart of a house.
4. The Shapes and Form Feng Shui e.g. looking at the landscape, site and
home.
These four combined will provide one a set of powerful tools to find our
Heaven Luck (Pillars of Destiny) and the Eight House, Flying Star and
Shapes and Form to locate our (Earth Luck). The above is what Feng Shui can
do.
Like I mentioned in an earlier message, only if you have considered the
above, and are `Too Free' or have luxury of time, then do whatever you want
e.g. enhance your career luck e.g. North using the Eight Aspirations
Concept.
Why is the Eight Aspirations Concept so popular with Book Authors?
Unlike the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui, which can be universally
applied, there are not much topics Book Authors can explain and apply to
everyone. So, what book authors do is to capitalize on General Feng Shui
principles (even though they are technically correct), found that the
easiest to `attract' continous purchase of books are to `glorify' the Eight
Aspirations with attractions of enhancing " Career ", romance etc...
Only when we begin to understand the above, can we now understand why so
many people are picking up such books, go out and purchase many wind chimes
etc... This may do more harm than good. (Search for " wind chimes " under
geomancy-forum.com and you will find the many " horror " stories abound !)
Let's put it this way, if something so general as to offer a `cure all' or
`enhancement' everyone by following the above would be very rich by now.
So, why some who have followed the above advise become worse off?
Let's look at another angle: Can something so general as " My career is at
North ", if I activate it (so does everyone else) will it lead to my career
rise? Something so general will not work for everyone. By chance, it may
work for some. Call it 50 - 50 Feng Shui or Fast Food Feng Shui.
What is true about toilet placement is that, I have also mentioned that in
earlier messages in this forum is that preferably it should not be at true
compass directions e.g. North, South, East, West and points like NE, SE,
SW and NW. The reason is that a toilet directly at these locations will
invariably be at one of the compass points of e.g. the Eight House theory or
the Flying Star Theory where compass directions are at 15 degree increments.
( A toilet e.g. " off " these points are best e.g. at 6 degrees
instead of at 0 degrees true North point).QuoteRecently, I signed a lease to rent a studio apartment. It is not very
large -- about 500 sq feet, but has a kitchen section (W), shower/toilet
(straddles NW/N), dressing area w/ built-in closets (N).
Firstly, can the 8 House theory be applied to such a small space?
Yes, the Eight House Theory can be applied to your small studio apartment.
However, the more significant influence for a small apartment is the Yin and
Yang Concept.
Why Yin and Yang Concept?
Depending on your lifestyle or or " perseved" lifestyle. If you are always
working outside and come home at night, then by then you should be tired and
need rest, so, create a more yin environment (cosy, conducive for rest).
If you are at home most of the time and you can create a balanced
environment. In the day time, if the studio apartment is too cosy, it may
encourage sleep or low activity, you can add more yang eg. a Hi fi set,
etc....QuoteIf so, what can I do about my toilet? It is exactly in my Northern sector.
I am afraid that it will flush away my career luck. I am very anxious
because I am starting a new job.
Frankly, you can't do much here other than keep the toilet door closed most
of the time and keep the toilet airy and bright.QuoteUsing 4 Pillars, I have determined that I am of the Earth element (birth
date Nov 19, 1973), but the main door of my studio faces SE, which is Wood.
What can I do about this? The main door is located in the South sector
(even though it faces SE)
You can't do much without knowing your element strength as strong or weak
can go `opposite ends' of the continuum like hot or cold. Best if you are
not sure, is to leave it as it is.
Last question: Does the Flying Star Theory take precedence over 4 Pillars
and PakuaLoshu?
Some Western Traditional Feng Shui Schools on the internet have either
modified the PakuaLoshu but this is wrong. It should not be modified in
anyway. Some even abandon the PakuaLoshu because they felt that this method
is `cheap' only meant for novice Feng Shui practioners.
Recently, many have questioned the judgement of some of these " Western
Tradtional Feng Shui Schools " as to why they abandon the PakuaLoshu. I
think there is still no satisfactory reply. Some of these schools also tried
out their modified versions and some even tried to use the PaluaLoshu and
look at `enhancements' and cures.
Here at Geomancy.net, having studied all forms of traditional Feng Shui both
the `Western' and the Eastern Schools believe that because English is
prevalent in the Internet, many have not heard the `other side' the Eastern
Schools which practise widely the PakuaLoshu. These include many powerful
Feng Shui Masters. If you pick up any Feng Shui books written in Mandarin
you will understand the extend of how widely the PakuaLoshu is being used.
The fact is that The PakuaLoshu and the Flying Star originates from the same
Compass Schools!
Therefore to answer your question, each has its specific use!
1. The Eight house is to look at personal directions and `suitability' of a
house to the person.
2. The Flying Star looks at the birth chart of the house.
Can one be separated from the other? No. Some Western Traditional Feng
Shui Schools ` talk ' all day and night , eat and drink only the Flying
Star. But do they know that what is the use of just looking at the birth
chart of a house without linking this to a person?
The house can be a picture perfect house but if it does not match the owner,
what is the use?
Therefore, sorry about this lengthly message. I want to stress the point is
that don't ever look at things narrowly. The larger the picture the better.
This is why, my aim is to let everyone see the good in each of the various
Feng Shui principles or practises.
Here, I let you decide for yourself, if you want to be narrow minded or
enrich yourself with as many good Feng Shui principles. Most of all you must
know the good of each or their limitations.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Laraine,
Before we address your question, you may have to be aware that there are a
few `levels' of Feng Shui analysis:-
1. Very detailed Feng Shui analysis
If a person is new to Feng Shui, he or she may need to consult an
experienced Feng Shui Practioner to address isues such as what you are
facing. Alternatively, if you know how to use the computerised tools here,
with some help, I am confident you can overcome your problems.
The following are the most crucial Feng Shui Theories:-
1. Eight House Theory. I guess you must have already used this to
find your most suitable locations in the house.
Overall, this theory does what it is suppose to do, find out how
suitable are you to the house. Location your best directions.
Other than doing the above, it cannot do more i.e. find a
solution or cure for a particular `problem' .
2. Pillars of Destiny:
The most powerful Feng Shui tool available under the Pillars of
Destiny are:-
1. Knowing your derived element and it's strength. This is used
to fine tune any cures or enhancements.
2. Luck Pillars `season' strength. For example, if you are a
Strong Wood person and so happens that this period happens to be a
water season. Under the 5 elements concept, water strengthens the Strong
Wood and this period is considered inauspicious. So, one should weaken the
Strong Wood under this period.
(The Pillars of Destiny maps out our heaven luck. Although we
cannot change our heaven luck we can understand it better and try to be in
control of our lives).
3. Flying Star of the house
The purpose of the Flying Star is to chart the birth chart of the
house. (While the Eight house looks at the most suitable house), the Flying
Star chart is used to find out in detail the location of auspicious and
inauspicious stars and the interactions between them at any point in time.
This theory is used in conjunction with the Pillars of Destiny
element strength to either enhance or correct bad influences.
4. Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui
In addition to the above, the Shapes and Form of your external
environment, the landscape, the site and the actual home's environment is
very important.
Only when the above four major factors are looked into, can one really
go into utilizing Feng Shui properly in our lives.
Feng Shui is about manipulating Qi and many are mistaken that just
because, under the Eight Aspirations Concept, the North is defined as the
Career sector, we must than enhance it without considering the above four
major factors of Feng Shui.
Put it this way, only when you have done all four of the above and if
you have the luxury and nothing `else' better to do, then you can if you
wish start enhancing e.g. your Romance corner etc...
The reason I mentioned all this is because, changing the direction of
your cooker is " secondary " to the above four major factors. Although the
stove is important, in terms of ranking under Feng Shui, it is one of the
last `few' enhancements. It is more important than the Eight Aspirations
Theory thou.
As for the direction of the stove:-
1. I have posted a recent message on the stove, where e.g. if the stove is
located at the North of the house, it should not face a water position. But
if the stove is located in a South direction, it can face a water position
to `cool it down '.
For those who are interested in reading this message can log into
www.geomancy-forum.com and use the " Search " feature under the forum and
locate the word " stove ". You will then be able to see a list of messages
with the word stove in it. There is also a date stamp next to the successful
searches. You can also do so for any other topics e.g. search for ` fish
tank ' etc...
2. In your case, your stove can be located at your inauspicious location.
It is good to let it face your good direction. For the stove, you should
take the Eight House template of the `wife' rather than the husband as the
`domain' of the kitchen is the husband's.
3. In a message, sometime back, I have mentioned the reason why a
`pure' microwave oven is considered a Metal element. To find out more, you
can also do a search for microwave oven. A mini grill oven should still be
considered a Fire element.
If possible let the cooker face one of your good directions and not your
husband's good direction.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Subject: Direction of OvenQuoteFrom: "Laraine Duffy"
This message is sent from "free-advice" Mailing List.
Help please. My Pa Kua number is 9, my husband's is 8. My main oven opens
to the North West. I also have a microwave oven and a mini/grill oven also
opening in the same North West Direction This is a direction of good fortune
for my husband, but bad fortune for me. I want to move my cooker so it faces
the opposite direction,South East, but it will then become a bad fortune
direction for my husband. The place I want the cooker is the dividing unit
between the kitchen and the breakfast area. There are only these two
directions for the oven, which are opposite each other with the units for
the sink running adjacent to them. What can I do? Since moving into this
house my personal fortunes have been very stagnant with delays and constant
frustrations especially with a long running compensation case (6 years, we
have been in this house for 5 and a half years) If moving my cooker will not
help or make things worse for my husbands fortune, what can I do?

Subject: Mini fountain show-case in bedroomQuoteFrom: "Stephani Pinto"
This message is sent from "free-advice" Mailing List.
Dear Cecil/Robert,
I 've seen a beautiful mini fountain and wish to buy it and place it in a
corner of my room, which I found out was the wealth sector.
I understand that a water element in the wealth sector can enhance one's
prosperity. However, I've read that it is a 'no-no' to put a fountain in
bedrooms.
Yes, it is not advisable to place a fountain even if it is a mini one in the
bedroom because it generates Yang Qi or Yang energy. Normally a bedroom is
considered a place of rest or Yin environment and the fountain with the yang
energy it generates `conflicts' with it.
However, this " balance shifts " when it now becomes your only room. What is
meant here is that as you are renting only the bedroom, do you mean that all
your activities are spent here? i.e. Is your TV located here etc...
If this is your only room and in the day time, you use it for `day' activity
e.g. it now becomes " mini your living room ", then you can in the day time
turn on the mini fountain and in the later part of the day, turn it off e.g.
at 5.00 or 6.00pm.
If you are using the Eight Aspirations or Life Aspirations or Eight
Associations concept of determining your wealth sector; please note that
this is a very general theory. Unlike even the Eight House Theory which
takes account of your personal Kua, the Eight Aspirations theory is
considered too general a theory.
However, fountains are considered a " sign of prosperity " it is considered
good having one in the `home'.
Therefore, in your case, where you are only renting a bedroom, you must
first determine what level of activity you have in your room. If the rented
room is merely a room for spent your evenings in, I would suggest that you
do not turn on the mini fountain at night.
Depending your life style e.g. if you are an outgoing person or would like
to brighten your room, you can create a `more yang' environment e.g. having
a hi-fi or tv in the room, place some colourful posters etc... Do strike a
balance as you still need rest and at certain times, the room need to feel
`yin' or a place of cosy rest.
Warmest Regards,
CecilQuoteAs I've rented the bedroom only, how else can I enhance this section of my
room ?
Yr advise much appreciated. Thank you.

Dear Suzhen,
As the information on your son is limited, perhaps, you can do an initial
Eight House Template for your son. Follow the steps under this URL:
http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm Alternatively, go to
www.geomancy-online.com to create his Free computerized Eight House Chart.
What you can do here is to see if the room he sleeps in is compatible to
him.

Cecil

Dear Lewis,
Please note the following:-
1. If you are standing at your main entrance door (looking outside the
house), the fig tree should not be seen directly i.e. slicing any part of
the main entrance door. It should be at either side of the house i.e. left
or right side.
2. If the tree can be seen directly i.e. slicing any part of the house, it
must not have a broken stump.
The above two `conditions' is to avoid trees becoming a poison arrow to the
main entrance of the house.
In Feng Shui, avoid planting too many trees on the North-East (devil's gate)
or West (a yin location) or South West (devil's backdoor).
Too many trees or plants especially if they are not properly maintained can
create a `too yin' location and this could result in attracting `yin forces'
or spirits to these location.
There is not much significance in planting a fig tree or any other `healthy'
trees so long as the fig tree do not grow too large at the front of the
house especially at the true North-East (compass location).
Another good thing about have a garden is that it ultimately attract birds.
This is a good sign.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Marla,
If I am not mistaken, you are referring to the fixed template format used by
the Black Sect Trantric Buddhist (BTB).
Black Sect Tantric Buddhist (BTB) appears to have been a modern "invention"
fabricated in the mind of one person: Thomas Lin Yun. It has no no basis in
or connected to Traditional Chinese Feng Shui. BTB is not recognised by many
practitioners of Traditional Chinese Feng Shui. Traditonal practitioners
also consider BTB to be Psuedo-Feng Shui. It is based primarily on a
marketing scheme derived from superstition and profit.
Hear the founder of Black Sect Lin Yun's confession at
http://www.qi-whiz.com/confess.html . (You will be transported to Kate
Bramble's website.)
At Geomancy.net, we choose not to discuss on any BTB topics and will
continue to teach Authentic Traditional Feng Shui.
Frankly, some of the Black Sect Tantric followers are highly qualified (with
Degrees and all) and my personal feeling is that at a point in time, most of
the Authentic Traditional Feng Shui was not available to these people. The
is one reason why, so many pick up the BTB.
I have yet to see a Traditional Feng Shui `person' switch from practising
Traditional Feng Shui to BTB. Instead, I know of a few BTB followers who
have switched to Traditional FS. This is indeed a good sign. The reason is
because more users or consumers are becoming more sophisticated and
nowadays, even in Feng Shui, it is consumer driven.
Personally, I have nothing against any BTB practioners but Geomancy.net
being a Traditional Feng Shui School, wants to have nothing related to such
practises.
To answer your question, BTB and Traditional Feng Shui is available in the
Internet but I cannot say that both can go hand in hand. The rationale is
quite simple, anyone can tommorrow, set up a BTB Feng Shui practise just by
using the Fixed Template method and responsible for people's lives? It goes
agains the grain of my conscience.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Subject: Rooms,DirectionsQuoteFrom: "Marla Blowers"
This message is sent from "free-advice" Mailing List.
When I first started getting interested in Feng Shui I was given a diagram
of suggested ways to decorate each room of a house. There are nine areas,
each area is based on what wall the entrance is at. Since I have been
coming to this site I have not seen anything that mentions this. Every
thing basically fits in the same way but here I hear more emphasis on the 4
directions.
Can you tell me if the 2 go hand in hand?
Thanks
Marla

Dear Rebeca,
There are a few considerations for a fish tank:-
1. Currently there are two methods at looking at the number of fishes to
`rear'.
Method 1:
========
The most common method is based on general good numbers of fish i.e. fishes
should be numbering e.g. 5, 6, 8. (9 is still acceptable).
Method 2:
========
The other method is based on your kua number ie. if your kua is Li or South,
you should rear 9 fishes. If your Kua number is Kan (North), you should rear
1 fish, if your Kua number is Chen or East, then you should rear 3 fishes.
Ideally, this is based on the breadwinner's Kua number
2. A good guideline is to take note of the colour of the stand you are
using.
For example at the North wall, it is adviseable to use a stand that is
Black in colour or blue or grey.
For the East, the stand can be brown or dark green or green.
Use the colours at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/colours.htm as a guide.
3. The shape of the fish tank is important. The best shapes are rectangular
or round. Avoid a square tank or a triangle tank.
In your case, it would be best to follow the guide above i.e. use method 1
in rearing the number of fishes.
There are two other considerations as your fish tank is at the West:
1. The element at the West location is Metal.
2. Under the Five elements concept : Metal enhances Water element.
3. West is a Yin location.
4. Too much water will create an imbalance as it is considered too YIN. But
fortunately not to worry unless it is (estimated) to be greater than 33.3
percent of the entire volume or floor area of the room (depending on which
comes first).
Avoid having a large fish tank at this location. A regular 2 feet fish tank
would do.
I am unable to fully advise you further because gold fishes especially, Red
or orange .. to pink ones are consider more of a Fire element and this helps
to balance the `situation'. If you rear other coloured fishes e.g. black
or dull colours, it would be of the Metal element and further enhance the
water element . Metal enhances Water.
Silvery fishes such as some tropical fishes are considered of the Metal
element and this may further enhance the water element.
However, at this point, you may have to use Trial and Error Feng Shui ie.
First, based on your intutition and monitior the fishes. A tell tale sign is
if the fishes continue to be healthy then all is fine if they die quickly,
then is is a bad `omen'.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Subject: Gold Fish-TropicalQuoteFrom: "Rebeca Rambal"
This message is sent from "free-advice" Mailing List.
I have an aquarium with Goldfish in the health and family area of my living
room, which is on the west of my apartment. I have this crazy idea of having
tropical fish instead of Goldfish, but I'm afraid something might change. I
am craving the speed and color of this tropical fish.
I also have a small aquarium in the Wealth area of my home office, which is
in the north west side, and I have tropicals there.
What would you recommend I do?
I am doing fairly well in my business, although I could be doing better. My
social life stinks, so does the romance department. (Just so you know)

Dear Simon,
suppressed>
Don't worry about it. I understand that you are very young and not the bread
winner (not yet I guess).
For you, empasis should be placed in your bedroom. One important
consideration under Feng Shui is that your Ba Zhi (Eight Characters), for
example, the colours of the room should not `clash' with your personal
element.
You can also take advantage of the Eight House Theory i.e. sleep and study
facing one of your good directions.
Wishing you continued success in your studies!
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
