Dear Sifu Lee,
I recently had our home renovated, the space in the backyard was turned into a storage room and kitchen. I found out that upon making the new house lay-out, I discovered that the center of the house is directly under the family altar (ancestral, Buddha and otherdeities).
Is there a implication to this Master? As altars are Yin elements. What contingencies can we do to neutralize the elements?
Have a fine day.
Regards,
N.L. Lam

Lee Sifu,
Traditionally, Chinese of Hokkien heritage revere the sugarcane, most likely a during the Lunar New Year. As it symbolizes sweetness as it goes on the top, there is a legend that the ancestors of the Hokkien people were saved by the sugarcane field by hiding inside (the field) as their enemies burned their village...they found no one's in the village so the attackers left the place without killing someone.QuoteOn 2/22/2011 10:48:31 PM, Anonymous wrote:

Dear Sifu Lee, greetings of peace,
I would like to ask for possible protection measures for my 5-year old, weak yang Earth Rooster (strong fire, weak wood) son. In this year of the rabbit, the rooster is one of the less lucky sign.
He is somewhat experiencing weak health despite our good parenting. Please, kindly shed some light in this matter. Thank you and more power.

I cant' help but to laugh...
Thanks for making my day light Master...how I wish it would continue til Lunar New Year...
APPENDED BY CECIL: FOR Sure! If you ask the US of A, what is their wish? They would definitely say let's have another holiday named or known as "WIKILEAKS".
Cheers!!!QuoteOn 12/30/2010 9:27:11 AM, Anonymous wrote:

Although the Koreans do celebrate

Master Lee. Out of

western new year and the lunar
new year since we live in a

it would not

Greetings Master Cecil.
Master, can I ask
what are the good practice to do this coming new year's eve? What
particular fruits for display would be in favor and what to avoid?
Can we do general cleaning on the day of new year's eve (tomorrow), or is it wiser to schedule it today?
Thank you so much and have a happy new year ahead...

About the Jars being a hiding place for spirits is prevalent belief in where I live as well as those hiding inside bamboo poles.
Thanks master Lee for the detailed advice. More power to you and your endeavors.
-
Thank you Lee Sifu, but as you have said regarding the vases, I am planning to purchase earthen jars that I'll use for storage purpose, sooner as I am looking for reputable potters around.
Do they harbor in ghosts or negative forces of some sort?
-
Dear Lee Sifu,
My concern is, August is the ghost month and our home has its main door and windows facing the Northeast direction but we seldom open it except when welcoming guest or bringing in heavy objects like appliances.
Any advice in overcoming the strength of the Hungry Ghost month?
Thanks and warm regards.

Yes Master, I agree with your statements, I know many Fukienese in our place which were much, say, laid back than us of Cantonese descent...as they are more versatile in business.
The HSBC Tower designed by I.M. Pei, for me isn't really blending with HK skyline...many people protested its construction...say the architects name and the building itself has ominous overtones. I also hear of mirror and ba-gua wars in HK and Guangdong. I also consider myself obsessed with Feng shui, as in taking it literally and with caution.
Thanks Master for the time...looking forward to be enlightened again.

Thanks Master, I had installed cabinet lock where they were kept. It somewhat cause concern regarding isitors might tempt to touch them...My kids are accustomed with the swords.
I had encountered before, displays such bladed weapons and canons are as effective as the ba-gua in counter/block sha qi or their sources. How true isthis Sifu? Or it is just a textbook feng shui approach.

Dear master Cecil Lee,
Master, I have inherited samurai swords (katana)with their rest standand found them asan artistic pieces suitable for display in living room..
The problem is, their sheaths or coering were missing and they were exposed, when resting in their stand, they were blade-side up. Because I believe in Feng Shui, their display might cause poison arrows, but I want them to be maintainedas an aesthetic and familial historical piece.
I made sure the swords on display never pointed towards any door or corner, and instead confined them inside a wood and glass cabinet...Does this made them neutral? Any advice whether to keep them permanently, but I don't want them inside the bedroom.
Thanks you and warm regards.

Thanks Master Cecil. My follow up question is, is leaving them upside down from inside the home (inside the main door)causes a leak in fortune?
I have the idea that the Chinese word for 'arrive' and 'upside down' is "Dao," so it is kind of clever pun, the idea of"Luck and Spring has arrived." So Master is this OK, or stilltheir physical symbolism of turning them right-side upis better?
Warm regards...

Dear Master Lee,
I have placed yellow calligraphy of Cantonese words (Fuk) Fortune and(Cheun) Spring onred, wooden squares. Fortune was hanged frominside themain door and Spring on the backdoor (from the inside).
It somehow feels good to know "When leaving (the house) receive blessings, and when coming home receive freshness."
Master, my question is, how come they should be hanged upside down and in diamond shaped manner? Any advice or precaution regarding the matter.
Your earnestfollower,
Lam Ngan Lung

Many Thanks Master Cecil. I think it is all clarified now.About your statement number 5...No need to worry, we live in a place where people do not even have a slightidea about Feng Shui principles...Few Chinese people live in our locality and every amulets (cures) we hang or place in our vicinity were thought of as mere ornaments.
I'm a believer of white Feng Shui and hard work...I try to be at one and in balancewith our surroundings.
Morepowerand many blessings always...

Dear Master,
The shadow causes me concerns since it is like a sword blade figuratively slicing through our home...Figuratively it somewhat cause divisiveness within us. When you peek out at the window, you can see the pole when looking on the left side.
Sifu, is hanging a Ba-guaabove the windowhelps? More like a placebo, it may help me ease worry about it...Will it make any implications?
Your earnestfollower....

Thanks Master Lee for the prompt reply.
I am sorry, I failed to mentionthat the shadow being cast is the Antennae's main support(made of bamboo pole), the shadow islong and thin and hits the windowexactly in the middle.
Theantennae's shadow therefore hits the roofing.
Thanks again...

Dear Master Lee,
We have transferred to a new residence and one day upon surveying the surrounding, at about 8:00-o-clock in the morning, I noticed that our neighbor's T.V. antennae casts a shadow on our east-facing window. The shadow moves direction as the sun gets higher.
Is there anymalign effects on us? And please recommend us effective cure to prevent inauspicious effect that might arise thereof.
P.S. Master, the east window is where we get our natural light during the day. And to mention, East is one of my favourable Kua direction.
Many thanks...

Thanks again Master Cecil for your reply. I think I've got what I need to do...

Thank you very much Master...At least it is good to know it's OK.
Somehow your feedback eased our worry.

Dear Master Cecile Lee
We've just recently occupied a residential space and the place of the stove concrete stand has a window on its right side (when facing at the stove) and we've traced that the bathroom's small drainage pipe run across underneath the concrete stand but it's covered by concrete. Is there any "sha qi" generated from the concealed pipe? And is the drainage pipe (water) not conflicting with the stove's (fire) stability?
(By the way Master, the concrete stand is about 4 feet tall from the buried pipe and the stove knobs are facing the SW direction.)
Thanks for guidance.

Appended by Cecil: Please check theFREE advice report again: http://dates.geomancy.net . The report comes "AS-IT-IS". It does clearly states no auspicious timing is given.
Dear Master Lee,
Can we ask some advice what (range) hours would be auspicious to move in our new home on July 7, 2009? We have checked that July 7 is the most auspicious day for the whole family to move in.
Looking forward to your guidance.
Thank you very much.

Thanks for the prompt answer Master Lee.
As you'e said, NE facing isn't really that bad. The overall structure is best though, except for where it faces, also, I failed to mention, upon opening the main door from inside, you can see a water tower in a distance, most likely in the east but is a bit far and cannot cast a shadow. Are there any effect on us?

Dear Master Cecil:
Is it auspicious to plant bamboo grass with medium height on the front of the house, on the white tiger side (right side of property from inside) and on the rear-right side (southeast or the wealth corner of the lot).
I am planning to plant these as ornament, utility, and most of all...to bring in good fortune. Any insights on other lucky ornamental plants.
Thanks.

Happily to say Master, all you mentioned below aren't present with our situation today. At least, we're worry free now and the reverend figures are not offended.
Thanks and warm regards,
