Dear Clancy,
I have a link to several sites concerning the subject of the Southern
Hemisphere.
The url is: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/addsites.htm
=========================== Extracted from the above webpage
==========================
1. Can Feng Shui be applied to the Southern Hemisphere without
modifications?
The general consensus is that there is NO need to modify for the
Southern Hemisphere! Do read
on....
a. Master Joseph Yu of astro-fengshui.com says "Yes. There is no
need to modify
the conventional technique".
c. Ray Harris shares the same view that there is no need to
modify the
conventional technique
His views (from the above article) are as follows:-
The 'Southern' School can be regarded as false for the following
reasons.
1. The climate argument does not apply to all climates of a given
hemisphere.
2. The seasonal associations of the Ba Gua are only coincidental
for temperate
zones in the Northern Hemisphere. They must therefore be regarded
as
incidental and not primary associations.
3. The altered Ba Gua places Li in the position of magnetic and
celestial north,
which is directly contrary to their traditional meaning.
4. The traditional associations remain valid when considered
globally.
5. The 'Southern' School contains logical absurdities.
6. No conclusive proof has been offered to validate the different
'Southern'
theories. They therefore remain mere hearsay.
7. The advocates of the 'Southern' School have not provided a
consensus
system. Each advocate has their own variation, some of which
seriously
contradict each other.
d. Ray Harris article 2 is an excerpt of his correspondence with
Lindy Baxter with
his point-by-point rebuttal over the `flawed' Southern Hemisphere
model.
After you have read his second article 2, Ray Harris states that
he and Master Yu
does not agree with the views given by the two of the major
proponents of the
Southern Hemisphere School. (Lindy Baxter and Roger Green).
========================================================================
Please check out the above link.
Personally, I also do not believe that there is a need to `cater' to the
Southern Hemisphere.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Subject: southern hemisphere confusionQuoteFrom: "Clancy Clancy"
This message is sent from "free-advice" Mailing List.
Hi,
I need to know if the bagua directions are appropriate for the southern
hemisphere or if some adjustments should be made. For example, in the
northern hemisphere, the south side of the home is the hottest one, thus is
appropriate for the FIRE direction. Here in the southern hemisphere, the
opposite is true, with the north being the hot side of the home and the
south being cool and shady.
This being the case, would it be appropriate to reverse the directions?
Are there any 'rules' which would apply? Should the areas be switched
around? ie wealth to the nw rather than the se? All this is terribly
confusing!
I have only one book which makes any reference to this (Feng Shui for
Australians) in which the author, Gerry Heaton, suggests using the direction
of the front door as a starting point, ignoring the compass completely, and
relying on intuition from there on! Not very helpful as the compass is an
integral part of Feng Shui.
I really hope to get some informed advise on this, as I would hate to go to
all the trouble of applying FS to my home only to find later that I'd done
it all backwards!

Dear Kieon
First, let me congratulate you on your new home:)
From your description, a square room is considered an excellent layout.
In Feng Shui, yes, it is unfavourable to have a slanted ceiling as you have
mentioned, this creates unfavourable qi in that area.
There are few cures and only two are available:-
1. A `poster' bed with four pillars and for the `roof' of the poster bed,
one can place a cloth material. This will act as a false ceiling.
2. False ceiling to level the roof.
Frankly, the above are the two `best' cures for this situation. Other than
the above, for the moment, I can't recall any other more effective `cures'.
3. If there is a beam above the slanted ceiling (don't think so here), you
can purchase two bamboo flutes and hang them on the beam.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Subject: Old house, new ownerQuoteFrom: "Joe Sehl"
This message is sent from "discussion-session" Mailing List.
Greetings! I recently bought a house built in 1908. When examining it, I
received nothing but positive vibrations. However I am concerned about a
possible secret/poison arrow in my bedroom. The room is square, with a
window facing approx. south and another approx. west. On the SW corner, due
to the shape/style of the roof, there is an indentation of the wall. The
corner juts toward the bed, and the wall itself slants upward to meet the
ceiling at this area. Unfortunately I cannot place the bed elsewhere as the
room layout will not allow it. I'm unwilling to place the head of the bed
underneath the slanting wall b/because I heard it would compress my chi.
Am I to understand that the indentation part could cause problems? If so,
what do I need to do?QuoteThanks in advance.

Hi,
What you have done is already OK.
If the apartment was occupied by someone who died of old age, there is
usually really no concern. One fine day, everyone has to die of old age.
Unless the death is due to other circumstances. If this is not the case,
don't worry too much:)
Send my regards to your relative:)
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Subject: Directions and Room UseQuoteFrom: "Barbara Haines"
This message is sent from "eight-house" Mailing List.
Dear Cecil:
Thank you for the opportunity to ask a question about the use of a room
in my house. My house is a SouthWest one, the four corners of my dwelling
face N, E, S & W almost exactly, and there are four rooms on the main floor.
My home office is in a room which has its corner in the North (my Disaster
direction). However, the compass shows that it contains much of the
NorthWest (my Prosperity) and a little NorthEast (my Longevity) directions
as well.
My question is, if I use the true North part of this room for storage
(filing cabinets, etc), and keep my desk off the Disaster line, can I invite
the other directions in with use of a mirror at the NW and NE points and
'activate' those parts of my office?
You can place the filing cabinets at the true North. but I do not recommend
use of miror at the NW and NE points as the intangible forces cannot be
activated this way. The only way is to sit closer to the good intangible
force location.
Mirrors if used wrongly can `bounce' back double the bad luck so becareful
here. As I mentioned, the Eight House only looks at how suitable are you to
your home but it does not take into account whether under the birth chart of
the house, it is a suitable location.
For example, if under the Flying Star Chart of your house, and the NW
happens to be your " sickness " location, one would be in serious trouble to
use a `cure' such as a mirror. If in doubt, it is best to consult a Feng
Shui practioner before putting up anything.QuoteIf so, are there any specific cures I can do for the North direction (I'm a
weak wood)? If not, my only option is to move my office into the living
room which faces West, which I am willing to do rather than risk having my
career become a 'Disaster'!!
Under the Eight House theory, if it is the `disaster' location, it is
difficult to avoid it using `cures'.
Since you are a weak wood person, the best elements that help you are:
1. Water element
2. Wood element
3. Metal element (helps water to grow and in turn helps wood to grow) -
Compound help.
If your office is at the North, ideal colours are: Blue, grey or black.
This can be the decor, your dressing etc
Warmest Regards,
CecilQuoteI am looking forward to your excellent advice and thank you again most
kindly.

Dear Emma,
Hope you can further elaborate. Are you referring to the number 2 after
doing a Flying Star chart and you have a 2 influence at a specific location.
Or are you referring to your address 2110.
This is because " house numbering " method to see if a house is auspicious
or inauspicious is not a good method of checking a house's birth chart. This
is because, today, many Professional Feng Shui Masters use the Flying Star
Analysis to find out e.g. the 2 or 5 bad stars are and if they had combined
together in a location.
Here, the difference, we cannot just look at the house number and come to
some `conclusion'. But rather, combine the two schools of Feng Shui e.g.
Shapes and Form and Compass School to evaluate a house.
Although the house numbering system we have for flats or apartments falls
under the Flying Star theory, it is but one small component and less
important to the above.
Hope the above helps.
Cecil

Subject: Feng shui in the bedroomQuoteFrom: "Siu Wong"
This message is sent from "free-advice" Mailing List.
Hi
I am a student, so I run between my parents home and my student house every
week. I spend weekends at my parents and weekdays at university. Which
bedroom's feng shui would affect me the most? Could you please solve some
of my problems. My major areas I wish to focus on are study and
relationships.
Frankly, the application of Feng Shui in the past was focused more on macro
level e.g. the situation of an entire city etc...
Only nowadays, as Feng Shui became `more lucrative' or we would like to be
`comforted' by the thoughts that where we spent our time or at a specific
location, could help us in our studies.
For the young, especially those who are studying, my feeling is that it
really does not matter i.e. to follow advise as where are my good and bad
locations but rather, we should continue to find the best and most
comfortable way to study and create that environment.
In Feng Shui, the only consideration if you really want to follow Feng Shui
principles is where possible sit facing one of your good locations. But if
you enjoy studying on a bed but not on the table, that is equally fine.
What I really mean is that to `go with the flow' or your natural `instincts'
or intuition. This will be a better Feng Shui method.Quote1 My bed at university shares a wall with the bathroom. My bedroom door
faces the bathroom door, the toilet bowl is not visible from my bedroom, but
there is a large mirror facing my bedroom. I have placed a full length
mirror opposite my door to reflect any negative energy away from my bedroom.
Is this correct? Also the toilet bowl shares a wall with my bed. Is this
bad practice?
For one, where possible two mirrors must not face each other. Avoid having
too many mirrors in a small room especially if you can see your reflection
e.g. from your bed. However, if you feel comfortable with it, then it is
perfectly OK.
As you stay in a dorm, you cannot really help if the toilet bowl shares a
wall with your bed. It would be good to leave a small gap here.Quote2. There is also an open book shelf directly facing the bed. I am unable
to move both the bed and book shelf. Is there anything I can do to stop
these daggers directing onto my bed?
Here, you can easily use a `cloth' book cover. For example, a floral design
or some nice curtain material. This can easily be washed when it gets dirty.
Depending on your `lifestyle' more inclined towards being extrovert or
introvert. If you more outgoing, than, depending on your taste, you can
paste a poster of whatever you like. If you are introvert, you can place a
picture frame of your loved ones etc....
You can play around with the Yin and yang concept. Yin is also known as
state of rest. While Yang, more lively e.g. have a portable radio, walkman
etc...
Good Luck in your studies.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil Lee

Dear Jody,
I feel that currently, because of the small size of the tree, it will not
pose too much of a `threat' to the house.
At this stage of growth (of the tree), you may seriously want to consider,
replanting it away from your main entrance area as it will one day bound to
grow bigger. Although it is not a `threat' today, but it will be one day.
When it grows taller, and if you do not decide to re-plant it, then I
suggest, you may have to consider a `cure'. For example, placing a
semi-circular carpet at the main entrance door area radiating outwards.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Garance,
There are three Feng Shui emporiums in "The Feng Shui Awards" Page. If you
have the time, check out these emporiums.
I have a link at this URL: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/award.htm
I am sure, you can find your Luo Pan. I am not mistaken, in the above award
page, check out " Roger Green's"
site, in the past, I remember him selling an English version but I
remembered it was quite expensive at $4xx.00USD
(Cannot really remember this).
Alternatively, you can buy a Plastic Feng Shui kit by Kwok Man Ho, I have a
link in the books section i.e. http://www.geomancy.net/books/fs.htm
Another alternative is to get the book Feng Shui by Derek Walters. Click
here to see the cover of the book:

Subject: Tree In front of front door and other problemsQuoteFrom: "Jody Leo"
This message is sent from "free-advice" Mailing List.
1. I have a small cherry tree which is directly in front of the main front
door. I understand this blocks the chi from entering the house. Have you
any suggestions of a cure to this?
1. When you stand at the main entrance door, do you see the tree in your
view or is it on the right or left of the house?
2. Can you also let me know how tall is the tree and how thick is the tree
trunk.
3. What is the estimated distance between this small tree to your main
entrance door.
The above would help me further:)Quote2. I also have a fish tank against the south wall of the house - does this
clash with the fire element?
On paper, it does clash with the south wall. However, I have very little
information about yourself. Are you a Fire element person for example.
Without much analysis of a person's information e.g. how strong your pillars
of destiny element, where is the main door located... these are very useful
information to tell whether it suits you and your home.
For example, if you are a strong Fire element person and so happens that the
main door is also at this south wall, this water helps to `cool' you down.Quote3. my bedroom door faces the bathroom door, and the living room door faces
the kitchen door. What can I do to cure the fengshui?
For the kitchen, more importantly make sure that the stove or any metal
utensils particularly, cutlery e.g. knifes, fork etc...
are not in `full' view of the main door. The refrigerator is acceptable.
Where possible, if you have a low partition or a `divider' e.g. seats
between the living room door and the kitchen is ideal.
For the bathroom door, the only thing you can do here is to close the
bathroom door when not in use. This is particularly so if you can see the
toilet bowl when you open the bathroom door. Where possible the toilet bowl
should not the first to be seen when you open the toilet door.
Warmest Regards,
CecilQuote

Dear Gerald,
I am not sure whether are you working or studying.
Normally for a bedroom or a studio apartment, it should be more Yin or
`state of rest'.
Therefore the type of environment would depend on what you are currently
doing i.e this
depends on whether you are studying (plus your study habits) i.e. in a
dormitory or you are working and returning home to rest.
Other than the above, check the lighting in the room. The type of light
could affect the environment around you.
If you are a student and often study in the room, it is good to have a small
hifi or portable radio in your room. Music does create a `more yang
environment'.
Here the essence of a small studio apartment is to create either:
1. a more yang environment
2. a more yin environment
but overall, there must be a `balance' of both because you also need rest or
sleep.
Yang environment would suggest, bold colours, music, activity, bright lights
in the house or natural lighting, hanging of colourful posters etc..
Yin would suggest a quieter environment e.g. lower lighting conditions,
pale colours, placing a picture of loved ones, soothing sounds etc... etc...
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Sarah,
Hope you can further describe `how level' is the house in relation to the
surroundings?
For example to the Chinese, an inverted `wok' (those found in the kitchen)
is an ideal way to represent a good `site'.
Your site should be where possible higher or level the surrounding land.
Hope you can describe more in detail for me to fully comprehend and make
`better' judgement.
Perhaps, you can describe to me what you see on four sides of the site e.g.
the back, the front, the right and the left.
I hope this is not too much to ask but, I feel the more details the
better... erh.. don't want to give wrong advice:)

Dear Eve,
Further to my earlier message, I forgot to mention the most important point
is that is the Year Chart mentioned earlier is only using the Base ( Luo Shu
Sqaure ) for this year only.
However, the personalised Luo Shu Chart of a house takes into consideration
two stars above the number. For example, as we know that this is currently
period 7, and from the example below (not a real one but a sample):-
5 3
7
Here, there is a base number and on top of it, No. 5 and No. 3. In the
personalised Flying Star Chart, we need to compare the `mountain' and
`water' star with each other. When there is a good match, and depending on
the interpretation of the two stars, this is an auspicious, very auspicous
or a location where we can `activate' say the mountain or water star.
Therefore, it is a question of going into indept analysis, the `deeper' the
analysis and the shorter the `time' of analysis e.g. a year as opposed to
say a month or a day or an hour or minute do make a difference.
Warmest Regards
Cecil

Subject: Re: Flying Star Charts. Which to refer to?QuoteFrom: "Cecil Lee"
This message is sent from "flying-star" Mailing List.
Dear Eve,
If you are using the Flying Star method, here are some useful guidelines
for
more accuracy:-
1. A personalized Flying Star chart takes into account:-
a. The date of birth of the home/building
b. owner's particulars
2. The shorter the time period for doing a Flying Star report, the more
accurate it is. For example, a Flying Star Report done for a month e.g.
April 1999 would be more accurate than one done for the whole year. But the
trade off is that it no longer is valid after that month.
We can consider Flying Star Reports like any other business reports, the
more details plust timly information, provided and used, the more
accurate,
the report it becomes.

This message is sent from "discussion-session" Mailing List.
Dear Cecil
Is it not true that there is a difference between the form/shape school
and the compass school in their methods for finding the green dragon and
white tiger?
Yes, I agree with you. Recently, there are quite alot of correspondence on
this. I understand that it is rather confusing to follow. One minute, it is
this and another minute another interpretation.
Let me elaborate further:-
1. First forget what we have understood of the differences on this subject.
The reason for using this model e.g. a dragon, tiger, tortise or
phoenix is that it is easier to explain things using a
picture or a `pictorial model'. The saying goes: " A picture tells or
paints a thousand words ".
To me, I feel that this is why, there are so many different uses for
the above Four Symbolic Animals Concept.
This is why, some like me prefer to add the word " Symbolic " into this
model.
In the recent Applied Feng Shui course, I even listed a third use of
the 4 Symbolic Animals Concept and during
the last forum message on this, one user also brought up another usage
by an author .. whose Chinese Surname is Wu.
Due to the simplicity of a picture `within' a picture, this will explain
why we can be confused with the same model used
by e.g. the two schools e.g. Shapes and Form and Compass School Feng
Shui.
Actually in the Applied Feng Shui course, I gave a further distinction
to the students so that in the future, if they were
to graduate or go into practise, they can use what I have suggested both
in writing books or in their practise:-
If we are only refering to it under the Shapes and Form School,
Simply call them (without their colours) e.g. Dragon, Tiger, Tortise
and Phoenix or Bird. (by the way there is a centre
animal called the Snake).
But if it is applied under the Compass School, do call them : GREEN
Dragon, WHITE tiger, BLACK tortise, RED Phoenix.
Why is the distinction?
This will answer your earlier question. Under the Five elements concept,
each colour represents a direction.
For example GREEN = EAST, WHITE = WEST (true cardinal point) etc...
Here, you will now see the distinction. When we simply use the words,
dragon, tiger, etc.. under the Shapes and Form
School, we no longer see that there is a colour `profile' attached to the
words and thus I hope, we will no longer be
confused that e.g. RED must be the South etc.... Therefore, since
there is no longer a direction attached to each animals under this method,
some one like an author can then put forth a clear meaning e.g. the Phoenix
represents `clear space' and should be at the front and the tortise,
symbollic of "solid support "
Hope the above helps you to understand better.
Warmest Regards,
CecilQuotei.e. I've read that for the form/shape school, you stand at your front
door, facing outwards and the green dragon is on the left and the white
tiger is on the right, regardless of the direction your main entrance is
facing. Then is it true that the Compass School would find the green dragon
to the east and white tiger to the west as per the compass readings (also
regardless of which way your main entrance faces.) After all, not
everyone's homes face South.
Just when I think I have a handle on this concept, something else confuses
me.
Please comment.

Dear Elizabeth,
As a guideline:-
1. The aquarium, most not be placed at the centre-point of the house.
2. Preferable that it should not be placed in the dining room.
As you mentioned, it is acceptable to place the aquarium in the family room
and on the `surface' it looks a sensible location to be placed.
Where possible, if your house has an `L' shape configuration, symbolically,
or through use of partition to `change' it to a square or rectangle shaped.
This configuration is still the best.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Subject: Position of the AquariumQuoteFrom: "Elizabeth Canare"
This message is sent from "free-advice" Mailing List.
We are planing to build a house. As I have received your previous
e-mail. We have picked a lot that was facing west. We are trying to decide
which part of the house should we put the aquarium.
The dining room is located at the south east side of the house. On the
north east side is the family room with a fireplace on the north east corner
of the family room. In between the family room and the dining room is a
breakfast nook and the kitchen, which is right next to the dining room. The
family room and breakfast nook is divided by a half wall. I am planing to
put the aquarium on top of this half wall which is about 3 to 4 feet high.
Is this a good place for it?
Thank You advance for your reply and advise!

Dear Jon,
Please note that the example provided in under
http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm is only an example.
Here are some guidelines:-
1. Always take a reading from outside the house. E.g. on a vacant plot and
take a compass reading.
2. Remember not to wear jewellery. And even if you take a reading on a
vacant plot, remember that there may be some metallic objects buried under
it. So best to move around the area outside the house and take several
readings.
3. What happens if the readings differ slightly, you should instead use the
readings taken outside the house. In my own experience, as I use a rather
expensive surveyor's compass, it is quite unaffected by metallic objects
inside or outside the house.
After you have taken a reading, you should by now know where the North to
South orientation of the house.
4. Next superimpose our template on the layout plan with the North to South
orientation.
Currently I am writing from an e-mail client, if you have correctly uploaded
the image, it will be in the Forum. Will check it out soonest.
5. As for a terrapin, here you may have to use `intuitive' Feng Shui based
on your personal feelings as there as not much information for me to work on
as you have not done a `real' FS assessment at your end to advise me on the
`readings' etc...
But frankly, such a small `pet' has not much impact unless you are having a
large aquarium in the house.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Subject: Compass OrientationQuoteFrom: "Jon Tan"
This message is sent from "free-advice" Mailing List.
Hello,
I am trying to get the compass barring correct for my apartment. The online
example has the building plan horizontally to the North, however, my
apartment plan is slightly tilted to north. Please correct me whether my
attach drawing is drawn correctly? Or should I move my center to vertically
facing North?
Also, I intend to keep a terrapin in the NW balcony (see diagram). Is that
the best location?
Thank you always.

Dear Eve,
If you are using the Flying Star method, here are some useful guidelines for
more accuracy:-
1. A personalized Flying Star chart takes into account:-
a. The date of birth of the home/building
b. owner's particulars
2. The shorter the time period for doing a Flying Star report, the more
accurate it is. For example, a Flying Star Report done for a month e.g.
April 1999 would be more accurate than one done for the whole year. But the
trade off is that it no longer is valid after that month.
We can consider Flying Star Reports like any other business reports, the
more details plust timly information, provided and used, the more accurate,
the report it becomes.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Subject: Flying Star Charts. Which to refer to?QuoteFrom: "eve"
This message is sent from "flying-star" Mailing List.
Dear Cecil/Robert:
Re Flying Star Topic. How do we decide which 'chart' to refer to? For =eg.
the house natal chart(based on year of 'birth' of house); there is =the
'main door facing' chart(based on the compass facing of the main =door); and
then there is the yearly chart(based on the year in question =i.e. 1999 this
year), and there is the 'owner-occupier' chart based on =the a person's
birth details, plus many more as in hour and day and =month and so on. All
these charts churn out different 'stars' for =different sectors, so, which
shd one refer to ? Is there a system?
Many thanks.
Rgds

Dear Eve,
Placing a partition or a low cabinet within the house (inside the house)
does not alter the original door facing direction.
The purpose of this is to let qi meander gently into the house and it is for
this purpose only. However, if one tilts the main entrance door to a
specific direction, one then has changed the direction of the facing of the
door.
No, the South = inauspicious is considered a `text book' assessment for
everyone. Unfortunately, this is too general unless one does a personalised
Feng Shui assessment specific to their own house and their personal data.
Otherwise, it is in my opinion too general to be used by everyone. In fact
it is less `accurate' even if we consider the Eight House as even the Eight
House theory takes into consideration of a person's Gua number.
In this Yearly Flying Star chart, there is no `ownership' of the model or
personalised to anyone.
I tend to think that it is the equivalent of the Eight Aspirations or Life
Aspirations theory.
I cannot blame a book author because, it is difficult to write a book
personalised to suit an individual. That is why you often see the authors
writing profusely about the South West e.g. romance corner, North e.g.
career corner.
All these general readings are more and my feeling is one good thing about
them is that they are simple to understand and thus be able to get "
beginners or novice " users interested in Feng Shui and then more and more
when their `thirsty' of more knowledge develops. These ideas are not
appropriate to many who have advanced further and now using eg. the Flying
Star Theory or its numerlogy.
For your login account, let me check it out and e-mail you privately on it
.....
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Subject: Main door facingQuoteFrom: "eve"
Dear Cecil/Robert:
1)When a door facing has been 'altered' as in putting a low cabinet or
=partition, does it then mean that the orignal door facing direction no
=longer applies? i.e. one shd use the altered door facing for any
=calculations henceforth?
2)As I'm a weak earth, south2 facing being of 'fire' shd be good for me.
=But, as 1999 South is 5Yellow, which is inauspicious, does it mean that
=South is generally 'bad' for anyone?Quote
Many thanks.

Eve.
PS: BTW, I've not been able to log onto the forum page within your

Hi,
Based on the four symbolic animals concept, water should not be behind the
house. But see the good news below:-
There is one major principle of Sha Qi (bad ch'i) that is if it cannot be
seen, no longer becomes a `threat'.
In your case, your property is "exceptional" because it is huge. As
mentioned above, if you cannot see the `threat'
under Feng Shui principles, it no longer becomes sha qi in your case, it is
further helped by the barn.
In your case, I personally feel that there is no need to build a fence.
The only point I like to bring to your attention is the short write-up I
wrote on dangers of underground water. If you have the time, the url is :
http://www.geomancy.net/fs/under.htm
As your property has a pond, and it would be best to take note of the above
article and if you have a geology study done, check that underground water
does not flow through (below) your house. In the short article, one tell
tale sign of underground water flow is the incidence of sickness (leading to
cancer cases).
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Subject: Can I block negative energy of pond in backQuoteFrom: "By Thefire"
This message is sent from "discussion-session" Mailing List.
I read that water should never be at the back of your house. I am on a 20
acre lot, rectangular shaped, running long front to back, wide open space.
My house sits back from the road about 250 feet then the property continues
about another 1350 feet. The pond is at the very back left corner of the
property, the house on left as well.
There is a barn in between. Is the barn enough of a block or should I build
a fence?
Also is distance a factor? The pond to me seems far enough away not to pose
a threat. I cannot see it from the house.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Dear Chris,
The way to do it is to make use of the Flying Star which is able to generate
the charts for the monthly, hourly and even up to every minute.
That is the supposed way to go about finding a good day.
I understand, that you have also posted several questions on the Flying Star
theory, this topic are all based on advanced concepts and frankly too
complexed to be explained in an e-mail or several e-mails therefore, I would
not want to confuse the users in the forum.
There are several ways you may want to find out more yourself:-
1. Go for a seminar on Feng Shui or take up a course on this subject. You
have to find out more from the various Feng Shui Schools teaching the topic.
This is because, I understand how you feel because, currently most Feng Shui
books unfortuntely are not adequate enough as I feel, most books fail to
teach the subject or teach in a very complexed way.
2. If you have the patience, within two months time or earlier,
Geomancy-U.com will have
soon be launching a Flying Star theory course available soon.
You can find out the vision and mission of the new University here:-
http://www.3dmail.com:8080/public/code/html-cs-generic?tpl=fsbasic
3. There will be a computerized version for the calculations pertaining to
day hour and minute under Geomancy-online.com at a later date this year.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Hi there,
Many "feng shui" master have recommended to place the "feng shui" items
at a specific auspicious day and time. I have tried to read the "tung shu"

Dear Luna,
1. Firstly, I like to establish that the NW and South you are referring to
is not on the same topic as the Grand Duke.
2. What Lillian Too is referring is based on the Flying Star Theory.
3. The period referred to is this Lunar year and it starts from 16 February
1999 to
4 February 2000 (and not at the end of 31 December 1999).
4. What she has done was to draw a Flying Star Chart for the Year 1999 (Year
of the Rabbit).
This is what the Flying Star Chart she is referring to:-
North = Star 6, Average location
North-East = Star 4, Good location for studies and romance
East = Star 8, Position of Grand Duke (do not distrub him for the
whole year)
South-East = Star 9, Good and signifies promotion
South = Star 5, Very inauspicious or bad.
Star 5 is the Earth Star and as Earth = yellow
colour, some practioners
or books like to call it Five Yellow (Five = Star 5
and yellow for Earth).
South-West = Star 7, Good and signifies wealth. Some people would enjoy
this
when they hear " wealth ". So, for those who wants
to find your
elusive wealth, using the Flying Star method is
another way of
finding your `wealth'.
Please note that this chart is a YEAR, Flying Star
Chart and overall,
just to tell you generally, for the whole year,
this may be the locations
of such stars. BUT do note that, a Flying Star
Chart can go as far
as a Monthly, Day, hour... chart.
So, for those who are wanting to chase after wealth,
go do countless
Flying Star Chart i.e. by the hour and then chase
after the wealth
location.
Sorry, the above statement is not directed at you
personally Luna,
as it is erh.. meant as a *joke* because, for the
past year, I do receive
countless one line e-mails not from regular users of
the Forum but
from strangers who would a quick and easy way of
finding wealth and
sent me typical statement like:-
Please tell me my wealth sector.
I guess, the above, went into my head and at every opportunity, I hope that
users here are not so naive and go into this `trap'.
But, if you ask a Professional Feng Shui Master, the most correct way is to
do countless Flying Star chart, the more accurate being a hour to hour
chart.
Can we do this?
Frankly, I could do it as I have a computerized system at
geomancy-online.com but think about it, it is rather crazy is'nt to do a
hour to hour chart.
I rather spent more productive time either doing my own things or helping
others with their problems in this website. Alternatively, one can do a
manual calculation.
Truly, sorry for going off-track as I want to emphasie a point to regular
users of this Forum not to go chasing after the elusive `wealth corner'. A
true `wealth corner' is not so easy for us to chase. If so, everyone would
be million or billionaires by now.
What we can do is to treat Feng Shui as a total `holistic' method. I think
this is a better option.
Erh... lets continue:-
West = Star 3, signifies legal entanglements
North West = Star 2, Very inauspicious or bad. Some like to call this Two
Black
Centre location = Star 1, Average
As I mentioned earlier, what Lillian Too did was to draw a Flying Star Chart
for the whole Year for everybody and thus it is a general chart of the
entire situation. This is thus a general guide and does not consider
individual flying star chart of each house.
For example, each house has a specific location of the main door and
inaddition, each Cardinal or sub-cardinal point has a compass direction.
Therefore, if your main door is facing south it can be South1 = 165 degrees,
or South2 = 180 degrees or South3 = 195 degrees. After this, you should then
draw your Flying Star chart.
What I am trying to elaborate here is that her Flying Star Chart did not
take into account the location of your main door i.e. it has not been
matched to the location of your main door.
Therefore, I hope you could note the about and my advise is that until doing
so, this Yearly chart, thou has its merit is too GENERAL as it is has not
been personalised to the house or the breadwinner. Other factors include the
date of birth of the house which is required in a `true' personalised Flying
Star Chart.
I do not want to elaborate further, but this is what I feel about the chart.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil Lee

Subject: Afflicted NW & S This YearQuoteFrom: "Luna Ghobar"
This message is sent from "flying-star" Mailing List.
Dear Robert,
According to Lillian Too's book, the NW & S corners are afflicted areas
until the end of this year. Her advise is to move out to another bedroom,
or stop using the entrance all together if the main door is located in the
NW or S, Or go on holidays "for a whole year ?!" I think this is very
extreme. My bedroom happens to be located in the NW and my main door in the
S. Its impossible for me to move to another bedroom or use another door. I
would like some input from you as what possible cure I can use other than
moving out !
Thanks for your help.

Dear Airvrm,

Subject: Yin & Yang Feng ShuiQuoteFrom: "Airvrm Teo"
This message is sent from "discussion-session" Mailing List.
I read the book "Feng Shui WorkBook" by Wu
Xing.In the book on page 18 & 19 it is stated that for a house - the yang
domain the
left dragon and right tiger is seen as standing from outside the house
looking at the main door of the house
And for the Yin domain the left dragon and
right tiger is as see from the Grave looking
outwards.
Lets look at the explanation:-
1. Under the Shapes and Form School `concept';
The dragon is always on the Yang Domain. This is because, the dragon is
always a yang `animal'. And in fact the most Yang of all animals. Here, by
right, it should not be considered as under the Yin domain.
This is because, under the Five elements concept, it is Green and Green =
East, a location of rising sun which is a Yang location.
Contrast this with the White Tiger. If we look through the colour `chart'
White is located at the West.
Therefore, in theory, we see them fit under this condition.
2. However, what I understand what Wu is trying to do. He is using the Four
Symbolic Animals `loosely' as an overall template where it does not matter
about the position of the four symbolic animals but listing them in order of
their `positions'.
Let me illustrate, if he placed the Dragon at the West, the Tiger now is
located at the East. The Black Tortise is at the back and the Red Phoenix at
the front.
I think a few users here will get further confused because I mentioned this
model but overall, do take note that the Four Symbolic Animals represent a
few concepts and the reason why it is so widely used is that it is a
`pictoral' illustration and pictures are much easier to visualise.
Under Wu's `method' the objective; I believe what he wants to do is to check
the position of the four positions in relation to a site. In this case, it
does not matter whether the Dragon is at any of the four true compass point.
I do not want to confuse you or many users here further as there is another
concept, and this has been explained clearly in the Applied Feng Shui
certificate course.
To conclude, just remember that since it is so easy to refer to things in a
diagram or picture, the Four Symbolic Animals concept is widely used in
different concepts to explain relationships and things. I hope you get a
picture of what I am saying:)
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Christiane,
This is a tough one, really as frankly, I do not know of any effective
remedy against this other than not to stop work all together.
For us Chinese, we would as mentioned above, stop work and pray at the
location and `ask for forgiveness' for our ignorance. The problem is that
the effects may unfortunately last for more than a year.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

if renovations have already been done on the east, how do you counteract
the bad effects of that?
Need urgent advice... hell is breaking loose in my life!!

Dear Carol,
So far, Feng Shui has not come to the dogs yet. In the olden days, priority
of Feng Shui goes to searching a site for a community e.g. a large city.
This would also apply to a site or a building or a home.
Therefore, in the past the emphasis of Feng Shui is not like what we are
doing, looking for `cures'. As for pet dogs, there is currently no mention
of this anywhere on the best place to place them in cages. I guess dogs used
to roam around and the Chinese (unfortunately) enjoy eating them. (I hope
this statement is not offensive or replusive, as I do not mean any harm. If
so, I sincerely apologise as I am stating the fact of life that some Chinese
people do eat dogs).
Warmest Regards
Cecil Lee

I would like to know if there is any particular sector of our house that
our pet dog's cage should be place. Currently, his cage is in our kitchen
nook close to the intangible Disaster line for my husband.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Carol,
The correct method is the head should be facing the good direction. For
example in your case, if North is auspicious. you should have your head
facing North.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

I would like to know which direction to place the head of our bed if my
husband's good direction is SW and mine is N. Some people have told me that
we should point out feet not heads in the direction of the wife's good
direction. Please advise soonest.
Thank you.

Poison Arrows and crystals

Thank you for sharing with us information about yourself:)

Dear Val,
In my personal opinion, for a newbee, I recommend that you can apply the
Bagua (Eight House Theory or East Four / West Four Group) as this is one of
the most popular Compass School technique:
1. The purpose is to look at the suitability of the house to the individual
and
2. Sleep, work and study.. facing a good direction.
This technique takes into account your personal kua (individualized for a
person). The only thing is that some more advanced Feng Shui Practioners
would use the Flying Star Theory. The difference is that the Eight House
Theory does not take into account the date of birth of the house when
`evaluating' a house. But, this is a very practical theory, which has it's
own use as shown under Para 1. and 2. (above).
If I were you, try not to practice `too much' of the Eight Aspirations or
Life Aspirations or Associations as this does not even take into account a
person's kua number. Most Feng Shui writers, continue to write on Eight
Aspirations but this is too basic a theory to apply and if you notice, it is
applied to every one. Here, we have to question: Does it really make sense
to apply so generally to everyone?
So, you should pay attention to these Feng Shui Schools:-
1. Shapes and Form School (Theories, some commonsense and intuition)
2. Eight House (when you are new but remember, its purpose is to find a
`suitable' home)
3. Flying Star: Looks at the birth chart of the house.
The above are without question the three most popular `Schools' of Feng Shui
and to be effective, you should apply all three schools.
It can be quite subjective. But in my personal opinion, if the furniture is
large, a `rounded slightly' edge is still considered a `threat'.
The `ideal' dining table is considered to be made of wood. This is because,
other materials e.g. glass and even plastic can be considered a metal
element and not as ideal for a dining table.
Here, you have to be `careful' with the word crystals = earth element. This
is because, Feng Shui is also about Symbolism.
Let me take an example. If your crystal is in the shape of a pyramid, some
FS practioners will now consider the crystal has taken a shape and consider
it a `Fire' element because of the pointed triangular shape.
In the Far East, most Feng Shui practioners quote a fee for consultation and
do not add extras. For example, a fee of $588 to do a FS audit (without any
hidden costs or extras). I understand, in other countries, some FS
practioners will charge a fee e.g. $488 but `hidden behind' this cost is an
arsenal of Feng Shui products that they sell. Here you have to be careful.
Some may simply ask you to hang a crystal or a metal windchime and then add
the costs to your Feng Shui audit fee. Most likely in the above case, you
will end up paying more and you may not be sure if the crystal is REALLY
needed or not.
In my opinion, where best, don't because a book says to place a crystal, we
must place it in every room. This is because if you have done a Flying Star
Analysis, (by the way, this is the most powerful Feng Shui method) as it is
based on numerology, it can be used to locate a mountain star or a water
star. If you have a mountain star at a location, you can then activate it.
I will not go further on the Flying Star as you can search for this
information on this website.
Do take note that most of Lillian Too's books are good because she can
`impart' knowlege easily with both graphics and are well summarized. But a
few Feng Shui practioners/teachers have voiced out that in their opinion,
some of the materials in her books may have been `invented' by her.
Nevertheless, if you are a newbee, feel free to continue to read good books
but always have an open mind and my advise is also to read as widely as
possible.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
