  1. Dear Rose,
    The `strange' thing about Feng Shui is that from my personal experience is
    that, the more we are conscious of finding the wealth sector, it really
    becomes very elusive and worse still, it becomes `non-exisitent' for those
    looking for it. It is best not to research or focus our thoughts into
    searching it. This is because, if it can easily be found, a Feng Shui Master
    in the past would have written a book soley on it.
    But if we are aware, Feng Shui is vast and it emcompass Shapes and form and
    the Compass Schools. But remember that Feng Shui is about our Earth Luck and
    how we can change it. There is the Heaven Luck that we may not be able to
    change.
    This message is not directed at you but in general that it is better to
    focus on Feng Shui and its objective of harmony of one with his environment.
    Here, we can achieve not only `wealth' but health and happiness.

    Dear Cecil & Robert,
    I have read in a Feng Shui master's website that
    1. the sector with Water Star #7 is the primary wealth sector
    There are many ways of looking at the `wealth sector'. Earlier we see how
    the Five element theory is used in the earlier message.


    Here, if you notice, water has always been considered to bring `wealth' and
    it is nothing new for the wealth sector to be associated with water. For
    example: a waterfall, a fountain. Water is thus regarded as lucky
    especially it is in `front' of us and fountains etc.. are said to bring good
    Qi.

    Quote
    2. the sector with Mountain Star #8 is the secondary wealth sector
    Yes, this is again true. You will notice that we are always concerned about
    our `frontage'. But behind every good front is a good backing. A solid
    backing or support from behind is `hidden' or silent. For example: behind
    every successful business person is a supportive house-spouse.
    Is that "absolutely" true? Or are there any other factors need to be
    considered?

    Other factors are already discussed above and in the earlier message.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    Quote
    From: "Rose Say"

    In your electronic book: 101 Authentic Feng Shui Tips and Fixes, Question
    37-2, it is mentioned that one's wealth sector corresponds to the sector
    that one's main element destroys.
    Eg. for a Water person, the Fire sector (South) is thus considered the
    wealth sector;
    This is a general statement and you are correct to say that it applies to
    those whose true element is `Strong'. However, there are a few factors that
    will affect this:-
    1. Pillars of Destiny - Luck period of a person.


    2. The Flying Star Chart of the House.
    3. The element of the house.
    The above are some of the considerations.
    One `odd thing' about finding the elusive `wealth sector' is that the more
    we want to find it, the more, it gets `evasive'. Frankly, Feng Shui is not
    about simply finding and activating the `wealth sector'. It is a holistic
    approach or the `big picture' of doing Feng Shui correct things which in
    return, will yield wealth.
    If you read the above statement closely, only when you do `everything' or
    nearly everything is in harmony with the environment and provided our Heaven
    Luck is with us also, things will go `smoothly'.

    Quote
    As for my roommate and myself (both Strong Fire), NW or W (Metal sectors)
    is then our wealth sector. Our FS report shows that
    W: BS=9:Very Auspicious, MS=8, WS=1
    NW: BS=8:Very Auspicious, MS=7, WS=9
    NW is also where the main entrance is.
    However, West is my DEATH sector under 8-House.
    Is it advisable to place a fish tank in the WEST sector?

    Frankly it is not adviseable to place a large fish tank at the West as this
    is a YIN location and furthermore it is of the metal element. If the amount
    of water and fishes in the tank are not in balance (fishes are of the metal
    element). If you want you can use a small fish tank.

  3. Dear Joe,
    The main consideration is that the bamboo plant should not be allowed to
    grow too `large' or too tall. If you are planting the bamboo plant e.g. at
    your garden, `proper maintenance' is required as in time, they will expand
    and lots of effort are required to main the plant.
    My suggestion is to plant the bamboo plant in a pot. Here, the bamboo plant
    will be contained.
    Bamboo plant is symbolic of:-
    1. Many Chinese poems are written on sheets of paper with drawings of
    bamboo paintings.
    2. As the bamboo tube is used to house fire crackers or fire works, it is
    symbollic of good luck as fire crackers dispel evil or scare them away.
    3. The leave of the bamboo bends downwards and to the Chinese this is good
    as it signifies an `open heart' or virtue.
    4. Many Chinese are fond of eating the young shoots of bamboo.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    I was given a bamboo plant by a co-worker who is learning feng shui also.
    We don't know what uses bamboo has other than flutes.
    Are the sharp, pointed leaves inauspicious?
    I would like to use the plant in the best way possible. Thanks in advance.

  4. Dear Caroline,
    The staircase you described is an excellent choice i.e. a staircase should
    have a `landing' and makes a turn. A staircase that goes straight down is
    considered inauspicious.
    Preferably the staircase should have 1, 2, 5,10 ,13 14, 17 or 22 steps.
    For one of the bedroom door that faces the staircase directly, there is no
    much you can do other than at the stair case landing place a mirror (normal
    mirror) provided this area does not have glass panelling or is part of the
    external wall / glass area. The purpose is to enhance the qi.
    The last resort is to close the bedroom door when not in use if you are
    unable to relocate the door futher to one side.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    Hello Cecil,
    We are building a new house but unfortunately, one bedroom door faces the
    stairway directly. The staircase does not go straight down, it makes one
    turn. What are the implications of that situation and how can I correct it?

  5. Dear Marla,
    I am not sure if you had read this short article I wrote at this url:
    http://www.geomancy.net/fs/gate.htm
    It refers specifically to the house main door facing the North-East
    location.
    Here, make sure that thre are not many trees outside the NE main entrance
    area or at the South-West (Devil's back door area).
    Where possible to counter the YIN environment, you should `increase' or add
    more Yang into the location.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

  6. Dear Joe,
    Let me clarify.
    Plants are considered not auspicious in the bedroom because they are "
    growing " and thus considered to give off Yang qi.
    However, in real life, Plants are YIN and too much plants or large
    plants/trees are YIN.
    Here, it is because the plants are growing that is why it is not auspicious
    in a bedroom not because it is of the Yang element.
    There are two schools of thought regarding fake plants:-
    1. They are as effective as real plants.
    2. Because they are not growing, they do not give off Yang energy.
    In your case fake plants are acceptable. But do not use fake `poision ivy'
    plants but fake plants e.g. money plant etc...
    Not sure if your ivy plant is a `poision ivy' plant? Preferably use plants
    with rounded leaves.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    Hello...
    I understand from the Forum here that using plants in the bedroom is no
    good because plants are yang and the bedroom should be restful. My
    question: there is a corner in he bedroom that protrudes. I want to cover
    the sharp edge with fake ivy to eliminate any sha. In feng shui, would
    artificial plants be considered too yang for a bedroom?
    Thanks.

  7. Dear Lunar,
    Based on your description, I personally feel that there is not much impact
    on your home with regards to the 2 covered steel water tanks. One good thing
    is that you do have some trees at the `back' and another tall building to
    act as a protective barrier.
    As for the water tank on the roof, it is too far away from your unit to have
    an impact on your home.
    At your end, concentrate on the interior of your home to see if it is `Feng
    Shui' friendly.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    Hi Cecil,
    There's 2 steel water tanks on the ground level and I think about 4 on the
    roof. All of them are covered. I can see the ones on the ground level from
    my kitchen window. The general view from the back area is some trees and
    another tall building which is about 20 meters away from our building.
    Thank you Cecil.

  8. Dear Luna,
    To confirm, when you stand at the Main Entrance of the building, do you see
    the two columns side by side to the main door or is it `blocking' the Qi
    from the door.
    If the column does not hinder or block the main entrance at all, then you do
    not have to worry too much about it.
    This is different from e.g. a lamp post in the middle or anywhere along the
    main entrance `cutting' it.
    Is the colum rounded or square? This does not matter. If there is no poision
    arrow or sharp edges of the column pointing towards the main door, again
    this is OK.
    These buildings are common in countries like Singapore e.g. Parliament House
    when it was constructed in the colonial days. If what you describe fits the
    above, I feel that you need not worry about it.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

  9. Dear Davis,
    To clarify, if there is a fire, fire `moves' upwards and a room above the
    kitchen is not considered `ideal'.
    But as you have brought out for example a safe. A safe in the same situation
    stores things and a room above a safe looks fine.
    In Feng Shui it is inauspcious for example to have a toilet above a bedroom.
    But, not the other way around. Same situation for a store room.

    Cecil

    Something to share with all:
    In the process of curing the seemingly bad Feng Shui of my studio unit (I
    am still helpless though :( ), I have been observing everything closely and
    thinking hard what I have recently done or changed or shifted.
    I have changed my sleeping position about two months ago, after I have
    learned my best directions for my KUA.
    I woke up this morning and noticed that one corner of my wall-height
    wardrobe is directly facing my head when I sleep. I then thought that this
    might be the culprit of "sha qi".


    I believe, that you have found a sha qi.

    Quote
    As Cecil/Robert often says "what you can't see, can't hurt you", I was
    wondering whether I could cure this protruding corner by hanging some strips
    of fake plants along the corner to cover its sharp v-shaped edge. Is that
    effective?

    There is one school of thought i.e. fake plants is symbollically
    representing a real plant. But betweent the two `evil's ' the fake plan
    should reduce the problem.

    Quote
    By the same token, could we do the same to overhead-beams (other than
    hanging two bamboo-flutes to form the top Ba-Gua profile)?

    Yes. If you are aware, the most common remedy is a false ceiling. This works
    because remember: "what you can't see, can't hurt you".

    Cecil
  11. Dear Forum Users,
    Usually, under conditions of YIN, there may be " playfull imps " or spirits.
    They usually mean no harm to anyone but can bad cause "nightmares."
    Medium sized to large trees plus additional things like a wind chime may
    increase the YIN at such locations and attract such playfull imps to be
    around. Too many concentration of trees are considered a too YIN
    environment.
    For the benefit of new members here, my next door neighbour's bungalow has
    at least a minimum of 5 or more wind chimes located at the West or YIN
    location. This means that the likelyhood that one can get `mental problems'.
    True enough, this next door neighbour always carry around a video camera,
    filming our garden area and always try to chase people walking past her
    gate.
    In Asia, it would not be appropriate for us to `interfere' with other
    people's life and futhermore, I do not have the courage to inform my
    neighbour about the effects of the wind chime.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    Hi to fellow forum users
    Thought you all may be interested in the following:
    I moved a metal windchime to the bottom of my garden and hung it in a tree.
    On May 13 Cecil advised against this, stating it would cause nightmares.
    As I always like to prove things to myself, I left the chime as is, and
    said nothing to family members.
    In the past four days my two children age 20 and 13 have reported
    disturbing dreams each night.
    Today the windchime will be taken down and packed away.
    If one ever doubts the power of windchimes, this serves as a good example.

  12. Dear Kenneth,
    Frankly, there is nothing much you can do to minimise the effects of the
    sitting position. The only other consideration is to check that:-
    1. Your table should be against a wall or partition as a support.
    2. The back of your chair should not be against a window.
    3. There are no sharp corners or poison arrows pointing towards your seat.
    4. Where possible you should feel comfortable with the lighting at your work
    area.
    5. Aovid working close or sit opposite the toilet area or sharing an office
    wall with the toilet area or a passageway.
    The above are good Feng Shui practises for the office.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

  13. Dear Rose,
    I have replied to this in an earlier message. However, do take note that the
    water star represents a clear space or open space. Here, in a house there
    are not many locations that you can activate the water star.
    The two areas are :
    1. The front of your house should open to a clear flat space.
    2. The living room area. You still can have display cabinets. Just visualize
    yourself sitting at the couch and seeing TV. The living room should have a
    clear open space.
    Contrast this to a Mountain or `Sitting' star. The Mountain star requires a
    wall and its presence.

  14. Dear Chris,
    Thanks for your information.
    Two weeks ago, I also provided the same advise like your advise as the
    client has a set of window between both sides of the bed. In fact, I asked
    her to close the side of the window, (left window) which is next to the
    toilet area.
    Yes, in my own opinion, you have provided a good advise. This client has her
    bedroom door immediately on the same narrow corridor facing the garage door
    and this is not ideal. In her case, it would be better to close the bedroom
    door.
    Frankly, in your case, I do not see much more advise other than the bed
    should be placed `correctly' in relation to the room layout and other
    considerations like sharp corners and facing the toilet door.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    Hi there,
    Recently, my friend asked me a question about the placemnet of the bed in
    his house. The head of the bed is placed against the wall, which is good
    because it has a solid backing. However, there is a window on each of the
    right and left of the bed. This is against what we call the "can feng ju qi"
    in "feng shui", meaning we will wnat to capture the "qi"so that irt will
    circulate within the house then to flow in and out the house in one
    direction.
    I have advised him to keep one of the window closed at all time, leave the
    other window open (especially the one in the chai qi wei). Do you think this
    is a good advice, what other good advice do yiu suggest??

  15. Thanks Eve, for your good reply:)
    As Eve correctly pointed out that Sin means Star. Mountain Star means
    `Chor Sin' and Water Star means `Siang Sin'.
    Actually, fellow forum members, do not be taken aback by these two words. If
    you relate properly, it goes back to the concept of the Four Symbolic
    Animals Concept i.e. a clean open space infront of the house and a solid
    backing at the back.
    Let me elaborate further:-
    What is Facing?
    In Feng Shui, Facing is similiar to: Open space, `Siang Sin' (Water
    Star).
    What is Sitting?
    Sitting is similar to Mountain or solid backing or `Chor Sin'. Examples of
    `Sitting' area is a high wall.
    Why call it `Facing' and `Sitting'?
    In Feng Shui when you have a facing, for example, the main entrance area,
    you should have open space or (water star). This implies that the area/view
    around facing position should be `flat' and clear. But behind the facing, it
    should be protected e.g. by a wall.
    This is the same principle as when you open the main entrance door, Qi or
    (Ch'i) must not flow directly out of the window at the opposite side. Qi
    must be allowed to meander or circulate around the house. Here in this
    example, while the facing should have an open space, immediately behind the
    facing direction, you should have a Mountain (Sitting position).
    Another way of looking at the `Sitting' position is that behind your
    `sitting' position, it is best to have a wall behind you and not a window.
    Here, you can easily relate the Facing ( The Bird or Phoenix under the 4
    Symbolic Animals Theory) and the Sitting (a solid backing or the Tortise).
    The explanation on the Luo pan works the same way.
    Yes, if you are patient, our Flying Star Course will in fact, give you the
    different types of Flying Star methods for our students to understand and
    have a better picture of all Feng Shui schools relating to the Flying Star
    Course. *As Robert had explained in an earlier message that there are a few
    Schools or methods of the Flying Star.
    As Rose wanted to know why seldom we see the Water star in the Flying Star
    Report is that unlike the Mountain star, which one can activate if there is
    a mountain star found and also satisfy the condition that there must be a
    solid backing e.g. a wall and not a window. A water star is always around
    e.g. at the main door entrance where you should have the water star or a
    clear space to allow good Qi to flow in. Similarly, you should activate the
    water star in the living room i.e. do not have overly tall furniture in the
    living room area. Display cabinets on the walls are fine.
    (Note: As part of our efforts to use proper Romanized terms, we will no
    longer use the term Ch'i but Qi instead.)
    Warmest Regards,

    1. To understand the meaning better, I would like to know the actual
    Chinese character for "Siang Sin" and "Chor Sin". Correct me if I am wrong:
    "Sin" means Star
    ---->Yes
    "Siang" is the Siang in "Ji2 Siang2" (auspicious)
    ---->In chinese language, it is 'Facing' or 'Direction' as in 'xiang4'.
    No idea about "Chor"
    ---->In chinese language, Chor is 'sit' as in 'zhuo4'.
    2. These two secondary stars correspond to the Mountain Star and Water
    Star mentioned in Geomancy-online's Flying Star report:
    Mountain Star = Chor Sin
    Water Star = Siang Sin, right?

    ---->Quote from website: Yes, there are different names for it, we prefer to
    call
    it Mountain and Water as it is easiler to apply the cures. Once you see the
    Mountain, you know just have to use an object with mass. When you seen
    Water, you need to have a fountain, fish tank or open area.

    I am new to Fengshui, so please pardon my obvious ignorance of even the
    basics.
    From the website, I gather that my best direction according to:
    - my birthdate (31Dec73) is South
    - my zodiac animal (Ren Ox) is Northeast or North.
    Please correct me if I am wrong. So, to put it simply, which direction
    should my bed, front door etc point towards?


    There are a few Feng Shui theories and concepts. Here, you have found out
    that your house is a " South " House.
    You should not look at the zodiac animal i.e. NE or North.
    For a South House,
    North = Longevity
    NE = Disaster
    East = Prosperity
    SE = Health
    S = Excellent
    SW = Irritation
    West = Spook
    NW = Death
    Here, preferable that you sleep with your HEAD facing any of the good
    directions.

    And given my details, how should I cure a sharp corner pointed at my bed
    (caused by the rectangular construction of the attached bathroom)? With a
    windchime? Of what material? Of how many pieces? Moving the bed would put it
    next to / in front of a window or a door.

    The best way to avoid the sharp corner aimed at your bed is (where possible)
    shift your bed to a location that is not affected by the sharp corner. If
    you cannot really do so, and it is still pointed at your bed, one
    alternative is that it is aimed at your legs (as a last resort).
    If you shift the bed and it is in front of a window, you should leave space
    between the bed and the window.
    The alternative as you mentioned is a wind chime. But take note of the
    following:-
    1. Do not use a wind chime with 5 tubes.
    2. The tubes have to be hallow.
    I normally do not advise hanging a wind chime unless you have considered or
    done a detailed Feng Shui audit such as using the Flying Star and /or
    looking at your personal elements.
    The question mark remains: Currently, I cannot advise you on the type of
    wind chime used e.g. wood, metal without such knowledge. This is because
    depending on your element strength the wrong wind chime used incorrectly may
    do more damage than simply doing nothing at all.
    Another point is that a wind chime in a `wrong' location or a location with
    high concentration of YIN energy may inadvertently attrack a playful imp.
    But here the only harm is restless sleep or nightmares. Alternatively, the
    use of too many wind chimes may cause mental problems.
    The other alternative is a plant but it is not adviseable to be placed in a
    bedroom as plants grow and give off `yang' energy.
    If you intend only to use the Eight House Theory, then I suggest, you may
    have to use your personal intuition. For example, go and buy a wind chime
    that you like.
    Other than a wind chime there are few cures for the room.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    On the subject of babies born in the Tiger year:-
    At the above (green coloured) gate of the former Convent of The
    Holy Infant Jesus (CHIJ), many
    babies were abandoned in baskets to be picked up by the Sisters
    of the Convent. This was the
    origin of the Home for Abandoned Babies.
    For over 100 years, the orphanage was home to children from
    poor or broken homes as well as
    unwanted babies. The orphanage took in many Chinese baby girls
    born in the year of the tiger - "
    tiger girls " because of the strong superstitious belief that
    they would bring bad luck to their families.
    In 1963, the Mother Superior noted that this practice was
    stopped as there was a marked change in
    this supersitious belief. The Home of Abandoned Babies ceased
    finally in 1983 when the CHIJ
    Convent was relocated.
    If you yourself is born in the tiger year or any family members have
    encountered such experience or competition in school is `extra keen' during
    the Dragon year and `less' in the Tiger year, do let us have your feedback.

    Cecil

    Hi Everyone,

  19. Dear Betty,
    Sorry, can you clarify what you mean by a `Fire' house i.s. I suppose the
    main entrance is South facing? or are you refering to the Roof and thus
    consider it a Fire house.
    A hexagonal shaped fountain is symbolic of the water element and it is
    acceptable to place the fountain on the lefthand side of the house.
    As for the number of kois, 9 is acceptable (even if you are not considering
    the number of kois as equivalent to your personal element e.g. 9 fishes
    represent the metal element).
    In general, without considering your personal element and strength, the
    above looks ok to me.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    Dear Cecil
    Our house is a federation style house and I think it is a fire house. We
    have erected a hexagonal shaped fountain on the lefthand side of our house
    (at front)and we have 9 kois. Is this alright or is there too much water? If
    not what can I do?
    When we moved in family members have presented us with a pair of bronze
    lions (about a foot tall) and a 2ft tall bronze budha. I donot know where
    these can be placed and still have them in the cupboard.
    Thank you for your advice.
    Regards
    BT

  20. Dear Rose,
    Frankly, in my opinion, it does not matter to as the qi flow is `small'.
    How much can th fishes generate qi or water `disturbance'.
    It also depends on the size and the type of fish. For example, rearing
    goldfish, angelfish etc... I personally feel no effect whether it is open or
    closed. But if one is rearing Kois (or carps) or dragonfish, it is
    preferable that the top is opened.
    The reason why, we always mentioned that rearing fish is not considered
    `fast' moving qi e.g. a waterfall or fountain is because here some Feng Shui
    Masters ask this question:-
    1. When we need to maintain or clean the fish tank, we have to remove water
    from the tank. This act is symbollic of pouring away `wealth' or water. You
    do not see this happen with a waterfall or fountain.
    2. What happens when the fish dies?
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    Cecil/Robert has emphasized before that often times fish tank is used only
    as a cure, rather than enhancer. To be effective, is it true that fish tank
    should be "open" to allow Qi to flow into, or it does not matter?
    This concerns me as my fish tank, by design, is a "closed" fish tank with a
    bulb at the top.

    Dear Eve,
    Please note that:-
    1. Fish tank or fishes / water in the tank is considered `slow moving' qi
    (ch'i). This is unlike a waterfall or a fountain with fast moving qi.
    Although fishes are reared as a hobby, in previous messages, I have
    emphasised that in terms of Feng Shui, it is used to `correct' sha qi.
    2. The information on suggested colour of the fish tank is found in my
    first book so as the number of fishes to rear depending on a person's
    personal element.
    For example 9 fishes represent the Metal element and 10 fishes represent the
    Earth element.
    On the area of water, do take note that a house should not have more than
    33.3 percent water. Too much water is considered too Yin.
    Never place a fish tank in the centre of the house. This can cause problems
    for the people living in the home.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

  22. Dear Rose,
    The best shape of a fish tank is either rectangular or round. A hexagonal
    shaped fish tank is associated with the water element and is considered OK.
    Avoid a fish tank that is triangular in shape (fire element) and square
    (earth shape).
    The above information plus the one mentioned by Eve can be found in my first
    book.
    Warmest Regards
    Cecil Lee

    I have a hexagonal-shaped fish tank, with black cover and black stand. I
    wonder that by any chance it is not considered the water element but other
    element (like Fire?) because of its shape / appearance?

    Subject: Where exactly to place the stove.

    Dear Cecil,
    I am going to be completely remodeling my kitchen and am at a loss as to
    where to put the stove.
    My kitchen is a U shape almost fully closed with an island in the middle.
    The wall directly in front of you when you enter has windows and faces


    southwest. My sink is placed here currently.
    A sink at this location is fine or OK! While it is inauspicious to place a
    stove without a proper `backing' such as an open window.

    Quote
    The south/south east wall is diagonally on your left as you enter. I have
    been advised to place my stove along this wall, but it would place my back
    to the entrance of the kitchen which I know is not ideal.

    Sorry, I was reading this a few times but still cannot get the correct
    picture. How about an image map drawn. If it is too much a trouble.

    Quote
    Currently, the only way to face the entrance in my kitchen would be to
    place the stove on an island which I have also been told is not a good thing
    to do.

    Yes, it is preferred to have the stove `flushed' against a wall rather than
    on an island.

    Quote
    On the right when you walk in is a peninsula, open to the dining room.
    This again does not seem to be a protected area.

    Most Western kitchens are like this. Symbollically if you have a `partition'
    e.g. a side table or even a `bar counter' to screen it somehow, it works
    just as fine.

    Quote
    Is having your back to the door such a problem? Is it more important than
    placing the stove in a good direction, or a protected location. I have
    looked through many many books, and read all the info on this site but
    cannot seem to be able to come up with a solution.

    Sorry, I still cannot visualize this portion so, I do not want to give the
    wrong advise.

    Quote

    Is it bad to place the stove in the island? How about the sink.

    Yes, it is not advisable to place the stove in the island. As for the sink
    this is not the norm as it is usually not practical to do so because of the
    piping. Do becareful not to have the water pipe run below the stove or criss
    cross the stove.
    Here are some guidelines as to the placement of the stove and water
    elements:-
    If the Kitchen is located at the South (Fire), East (Wood) and South-East
    (Wood) ,W (Metal) and West (Metal)
    In the above situations, the `fire' in the kitchen will not `die' out and
    even if you have a water position opposite the stove, it is fine. In fact, a
    water position opposite the stove at the above locations can help `cool'
    down the fire.
    If the Kitchen is located at the North (Water), North-East (Earth ) and
    South-West (Earth)
    In the above situation, where there Water and Earth, the fire can easily be
    extinguished, you should NEVER have a water position too close to the stove.
    Especially avoid a water position opposite it in the above situation.
    Hope the above helps.

  24. Dear Rose,
    First regarding the compass I recommended.
    Frankly, many users here do not need to buy such an expensive model if you
    are only doing once a `life time' Feng Shui survey. Your existing compass
    will do. If you do a `proper' compass check, and if you do use the
    alternative methods I proposed, it will be fine.
    In your case, as you had mentioned the compass degree falls on 22.5. For me,
    I would consider it at 30 degrees.
    In the past, when I evaluated a `problem' house chart. For example, the
    house chart under Period 6 was very auspicious. While Period 7 was not that
    auspicious. (The period 7 was due to a renovation done on the premises
    causing the house to become Period 7).
    In your case, do not `discount' both readings. But if one chart shows very
    favourable and the other `inauspicious', and you are currently facing some
    problems, it seems to reason to take the chart which you have a problem. Of
    course, this is subjective.
    Do look at areas particularly, the bedroom and the main entrance.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil
    P.S. If there is still `no light' at the end of the tunnel, maybe you can
    provide me with both info and see which is closer to the `truth'.
    BTW, not to generate too many messages; Bill, glad to learn the stars are
    good:)

    Thanks Cecil,
    I am a bit relieved because I have a 5-2.4in my east sector of the building
    which encompasses most of my unit. I was worried about health problems. The
    stars in the unit itself seem quite good.
    Thank you again. You are so kind.
    Bill

    G'day Cecil and Robert,
    I have taken another reading with Cecil's method 1 (with the protractor).
    This time, my reading says the main entrance falls on 22.5 degree West of


    North, i.e. exactly on the boundary of NW3 and N1.

    Quote

    Assuming that the reading is accurate, what does one do next to determine
    the true natal chart of the unit? Is there some kind of test we could carry
    out to determine it should be N1 or NW3? What I am saying is that:
    for example, say if one of the sector is very auspicious in one FS chart
    while inauspicious in another FS chart, we will then be able to apply an
    element test(?) to the sector to see which FS chart is true.
    regards,
    Rose

  25. Dear Rose,
    Actually, I purchased it quite sometime back (refering to the compass), it
    did not come in a box and I threw away the instructions as it was so easy to
    use.
    So really cannot confirm the model. But if the Malaysian distributor can
    confirm that it has a lens on the side to look at the compass direction, it
    would seem similar. This is because yesterday, when I searched for their
    website, I saw only the newer models that can calculate the inclination i.e.
    two instruments in one. Another one `standalone' model in this same page
    looks almost the same.
    If you can erh... convinence the distributor to take a look at the website
    http://www.geomancy.net/fs/recommendcompass.htm would be better.
    Alternatively print out a copy and fax to them to confirm.
    But anyway, the price looks right to me. It should cost less than US$100 or
    below.
    I forgot to mention that, Method 1 goes well with it incase many users will
    ask me why I view North and then view South. Looking thru the `lens' is very
    easy using it. Unlike looking at the ordinary compass through the compass
    needle.
    Here, you look into the lens and (if you can visualize) you immediately see
    the compass degree. Very simple!
    Do becareful not to place it close to the Luo Pan as the Luo Pan needle will
    be attracted to it. Maybe because of its larger mass. I personally find it
    good because so far, I do not see it being affected by any other metallic
    objects `near-by'.
    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    I have checked out the Suuto homepage and got the distributor info. The
    distributor in Malaysia said they carry the model KB-14/360R and the cost is
    RM325 (~US$86).
    Cecil, is this the same model as yours?
    Rose
