Dear Sir, Noted. Thanks a lot. Sincerely, Anne

Dear Sir: Thank you very much for all your assistance. I would like to inquire about having a kitchen in the northwest sector. Most feng shui books warn on having kitchen on northwest sector because it signifies "fire at heaven's gate"however for an eastgroup house northwest is one of the inauspicious sector. For a south facing house the northwest sector is at the inner half of the grid. Then in the period of 8 flying star feng shui, northwest sector have a5 mountain star and2 water star with a base number 9 which makes it inauspicious but can use fire.At the other 2 inner sectors under period 8 flying star feng shui,NE is afflicted with 7 mountain star and 9 water star based # 2 and N is afflicted with 9 mountain star and 7 water star based # 4 and for both sectorsfire is a danger. It is really confusing.I am trying to combine 8 mansions withperiod 8 flying star feng shui. Pleaseadvise on whatwould be the right thing to do when one faces this type of situation.Can I have kitchen at the Northwest sector with the stove not facing northwest? Please assist. Thanks a lot. Sincerely, Anne

Dear Sir: I understand what you mean. Till then. Sincerely, Anne

Dear Sir: I would like to seek clarification about flying star feng shui? You've mentioned in one of your articles that flying star feng shui for a plot of land, it is analyzed usually with a built up area. However, I suppose we can do some planning in advance, am I right? Let say if one have a lot and plans to build a house.Would itright and better to design the house-to-be-built by incorporating the flying star feng shui for the period 8? Let say, I plan to build a house this year which belongs to the period 8 house facing South 3 andbelong toeast groupperson and facing south is an east group house.. As I could see in the flying star feng shui chart for period 8 for South facing house, (please see attached file for the chart)the sectors whichsupposed to be the auspicious sectorfor East housesuch as E, SE, Nare inauspicious due to the presence of the inauspicious stars. The Westsector and SW which is an inauspicious sector became auspicious. (I hope my understanding is right.)Does this mean that the meaning and presence of the flyingsupercede orgives more weight than the classification of the auspicious and inauspicious sector ofEast and West houses? For example,for an east house group west is an inauspicious sector and buildingcommonly you build a toilet in your inauspicious sector. However in the period of 8, west became auspicious due to the presence of 6 and 1 flying star. Does this mean you have to place your bedroom in this sector instead of the toilet? I amconfused on which meaning gives more importance because I initially understand through my reading of books that there are auspicious and inauspicious sectors of the house based the house gua and interrelate it toa person's gua. Thenafter learning these I came across the flying star feng shui. I became cautious on its presentation for this flying star numbers (mountain star and water star)have precise meanings andoccupies the sector aside from the base number which have the same auspicious and inauspicious meanings. Can you please help me understand which gives more weight.In this way, lot owners can at least able to design their house to where they want to locate their bedrooms instead of placing symbols or metal cures to deal with the problem stars. Thank you very much. I really learn a lot from you. Through your simple explanation, you inspire me to readagain and again the books I have. More Power to you always. Sincerely, Anne

Dear Sir: Once again, thank you very much for all you patience and time to replyall my queries. I am very happy that you had given me time for all my queries from simple to complicated ones and I do respect and highly regard all your opinions and advices. This time I would like to inquire regarding septic tanks. As what I learn, septic tanks are to be placed in your most inauspicious location based on an individuals Gua. For example, if your inauspicious area is in the west and you build yourseptic tank in that area, can you place a metal water tank onthe topor above the cocrete floor of the septic tank inorder to press down the bad or negative energy? If not, where is the best place to place a metalwater tank outside the house? Also for plastic water tank since there are also available nowadys in the market, where is the best place to place it outside the house? Your reply is highly appreciated. Thanks. Anne

Dear Sir: I hope you wont mind me asking again. I would like tosimplify my query. Can you build a south facing house for an east group personin an east facing lot? I hope this time you would be able to give some feedback or comments on this. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Anne

Dear Sir, Thank you very much for all the clarifications. Everything now is crystal clear to me and I hope everyone will be able to learn and benefit from my queries and your explanations.At first I was so hesistant to write to you so I read anything I can about this topic and still I felt so unsatisfied with what I read. The more I seach in the internet the more I get confused because it's vague, undetailed amd of different concept such as the odd numbers scheme and the vaastu way. I'm gladyour website is friendly and open to such detailed inqueries as mine I read all the related topics posted in your website about the staircase and you had explained them very well with illustrations. I am now clear on everything and I can layout my drawings properly. You made me very happy. Again, thank you very much. I hope that if ever I encounter any confusions on my drawings, I hope you will be glad to answer my queries once again. I do my drawings by myself before I instruct my classmate and friend during my highschool days whonow an architect to finalize it.He is not so knowledgeableto feng shui detailsthat is why I have to draft and layout everything I like first based on my readings and myexisting furnitureshere at home beforehand.The house that I want isjust a simple practical rectangular house forour family of 5(my husband, myself, my son, my mom and my unmarried aunt) which we can simply afford to build it slowly. I wish and hope through my simple efforts I would be able to complete our home. Sincerely, Anne

Dear Sir: Thank you very much for your immediate response and clarification. Your explanation and illustration is very clear and easy to understand and I appreciate it so much. I now understand clearly specially when you mentioned that regardless the landing be long of short it forms part of the total number of steps. Therefore, it is in the total number of steps we see if it is auspicious or inauspicious. I would like to ask another question. Since we based the auspicious steps on the total number of steps, can the landing be placed at any number of the steps? Or should I follow the auspicious number of steps when ends in a landing then whenadding them up it totals to the auspicious number? (Please see attached for illustration)With my illustration, can you please help me to understand the correct placement and usage of a landing? Which of the illustration is correct? In this way I would clearly understand on where to locate the landing whenever I would place a landing along the total number of steps or staircase. Also please clarify if both are correct and the landing's location has no effect to where it would be located as long as the total number of steps is auspicious. Thank you very much. I hope to hear from you soon. Anne

Dear Sir: I just want to seek advice and clarification on matters regarding the number of steps on the staircase. I have read your replies on inquirieswritten here and have been browsing related topics about this in the internet but only your siteexplained in more detail how to identify the auspicious number of steps. I understand that there are auspicious number of steps such as 1,2,5,10,13,14,17,22, etc. Firstly, my apologoies if I would be comparing it with the book I have whichwas written byProfessor Charlie Chaoentitled Practical Feng-Shui. I just want to seek clarification with regards to landings. I am currently doing my own layout plan of my simple house. I got stuck, confused and kept on erasing when I have to consider the steps of my staircase. Then finalyy I found my misplaced book of Prof. Charlie Chao. In his book he mentioned the auspicious number of steps the same way you did mentioned here. However the difference betweenboth of you is that he wrote, I quote, "To observe this as to the auspicious number of steps for the staircase, RECOUNT steps where there is a landing along the staircase." Therefore as per my understanding, I made my drawing (Please see attachment). In my readings of your replies, I found one illustration on how to count the steps. I now got confused because you included the midway landing in the total number of steps. You didn't recount therefore I now don't know that what I did is right. If I would include the midway landing then the total number of my steps will be 20 and it would no longer be auspicious. I learn that having a midway landing is good for the chi flow and it would be convenient and untiringfor my mother to walk up the stairs with a midway landing. Can you please help me clear up my confusion? Do I have to revise my staircase to 22 steps? I can't reduce to 17 steps because the distance of my floor to ceiling is 3.5 meters and 17 steps would make the height between steps high and inconvenient. How do you define a landing to be able to recount the steps when it comes to stairs inside the house because your reply on your previous discussions focus on outside staircase wherein you can change the designs of the steps to be able to recount. Thanks and I hope I would be able to hear from you soon. Anne .
