Dear all, Have any one read the book: Complete Idiot's Guide To Feng Shui (2nd Edition)? What do you think about it? I also want to know if Cecil's printed book has been released. Thanks in advance. Regards, Wasis

Dear Cecil, br> There are several versions of Void/Evil lines (Kong1 Wang2) ??`. Some masters say that the 4 cardinal points - True North, East, South, West (i.e., 0, 90, 180, 270 degree) are the worst Kong Wang, some masters disagree. But what all masters agree are the 8 Kong Wang at the boundary of 8 Gua4 (Trigrams): THE BAD EFFECT/SYMPTONS: When you find that after moving into a house, you wish to proceed on, you don't have the drive; When you wishes to retreat on a business deal, you can't as you are too involved. The other symptons include: stagnancy, dithering, undecidedness, lack of drive, unemployed, and other like heavy and frequent quarrels between family members, sickness etc. The 8 Void/Evil lines are: 337.5, 22.5, 67.5, 112.5, 157.5, 202.5, 247.5, 292.5 which are the intersection/boundary of the 8 trigrams. Some masters say even +/- 3 degrees within the 8 Void lines are also to be avoided at all costs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks in advance. Regards, Wasis

Dear Cecil, I understand that 8 Trigrams are too general. It is like finding the wealth corner. The reason I asked you that matter because I am interested in a topic in a fengshui show on a national TV. Once, the topic was water. Water as source of life cannot be hampered. For example: well. If it is not used any longer, it cannot be closed without ventilation nor heaped up. Then 2 audiences called. One said has a closed and unused well in north west. The problems are pain around waist and the breadwinner died recently. So, the master said North west = waist, father. The remedies he suggested are installing non-stop lamp above the well or a pipe so that the well can "breath." Next, the other called in. She said has quarrel problem. The master said she must have an unused well in East. That leads to family and throat problems such as quarrel & slip-tongue. She agreed with him. Another example: Fire represents enthusiasm, energetic too much fire in south = hyperactive too less fire in south = surfeited Thus he suggested not to place water in south As far as I know, the remedies that master suggests are simple: mirror, non-stop lamp, pipe, etc. He never asks to place figurines or something like Black Sect. Just like you: fix the leaks first. Do you agree with his method? Thanks in advance. Regards, Wasis

Dear Cecil, I found an interesting article from the internet: "It is very important to understand where the energies on this Earth promote us best. Also from the zi wei birth chart, we can find out what country, what state, which city or region is strongest for us to do our business. For example, depending on who you are and when your birth date/time is, Los Angeles may not be the best place for you to establish your business, so no matter how strong you promote it and how good the Feng Shui is, you may find it hard to reach your full potential." Does it mean that we need to know the birth cart of the place? In other words, we have to know the true element of the place. If so, what kind of information is required? Thanks in advance. Regards, Wasis

Dear Cecil, I see in the Career Report that Banking, Finance, Investment are part of metal element. However, it leaves me a question behind. Financial industry has many products and its derivatives such as forward/future, spot, options, bonds, margin, FX, stocks, commodity contracts. Some use paper and many others use electronic data transfer. This is caused by Information Technology so that we don't have to use real money. Transactions are like flows of data. So, it is allowed if we can consider such financial products belong to water element? Thanks in advance. Regards, Wasis

Dear Cecil, Could you please explain about Evil Lines? Are these lines must be avoided? At what degree are those lines? Thanks in advance. Regards, Wasis

Dear Cecil, For security reason, I plan to install a visitor chime. This appliance generates voice when someone is entering a room (usually used in shops or banks). The place I am going to install it is in North East. Is it safe - considering it is not a windchime but still generates voice? Thanks in advance. Regards, Wasis

Dear Cecil, I'd like to ask you the human organs belonging to each trigram. For example: Waist = North West, Throat = East. I've heard that East can symbolize Family also. Is that correct? Also, can you please mention the symbolization of each element? i.e.: Fire represents Energetic. I am asking you this matter because I've heard that balance of five elements in a particular sector can affect our health, family member and attitude. For example, if we have too much water in south area we may feel surfeited easily. On the other hand, too much fire means hyperactive. Thanks in advance. Regards, Wasis

Dear Cecil, Just now, my father eventually told me that he had not chosen a good date when our family moved in to this house. As far as I remember, when I and my mother were picked at the airport in 1985, we just knew that we had just moved in. In this case our (I and my mother) move in date is different from my father's. Suppose one moved to a new house on a bad date. What would happen? And what should our family do then? Thanks in advance. Regards, Wasis

Dear Cecil, hanged above doors. Also the practitioner asks us to eat vegetarian food on every 1st and 15th of lunar month. And pray at a temple. Regards, Wasis

Dear Cecil, My house is devided into 3 areas: main area (guest room, bedrooms, dining room & living room), garage area and kitchen area (kitchen, laundry, storage). The kitchen area is behind the main area and the garage is beside the main area. The height of the roof of the kitchen area is lower than main area's. In other words, front is higher than back. I have heard that back should be higher than front otherwise one will suffer financial problem. The remedies are: a. make the back roof higher than front roof (major renovation) b. install a post at the back so that the back is higher than front So, I plan to move my antenna pole to the back. However, a new problem occurs. It is said inauspicious to have a lone post in the back area (1/3 portion of the whole area) because occupants can easily be deceived and suffer mental disorder. Do you think attaching the antenna pole the back wall (make the pole as part of the wall) will be ok? Thanks in advance. Regards, Wasis

Dear Cecil, A local practitioner says that the soil in my house is too wet. This leeds to feel dizzy, pain around the waist, easily got flu and maids cannot work longer. We think his comment is true considering what have happened to us. Then, he suggests to hang some "Hu" (charms). If we agree, he will make some for us. Do you think his remedy is acceptable? Do you have any idea about other remedy? Thanks in advance. Regards, Wasis

Dear Cecil, I just generated Flying Star reports. It is surprising 2003 Flying Star report suggests to use metal cures in all 9 sectors. And 20 year Flying Star report suggests to use metal cures in 6 sectors. Do you think I still have to use them in all 9 sectors, provided the breadwinner's element is strong water? Thanks in advance. Regards, Wasis

Dear Cecil, Please see below: FYI, the famous pendulum clock maker is Junghans, but expensive. Regards, Wasis

Hi, Have you heard about Metronome? It helps pianists to practice the tempo. It has a pendulum inside the case and generates metal sound "tick tock". You can see the picture at http://store3.yimg.com/I/catamuse_1728_5347407 There are many kinds of metronome such as pocket size. Mine is traditional one with metal pendulum inside (just like the picture on the URL). The frequency can be set. Can be it used as a metal cure? Thanks in advance.

Dear Cecil, How about if the company is a public company? Meaning everyone can be the owner by buying some share through stock market. Thank you. Regards, Wasis

Hi all, Well, I think we should consider one thing before we hang a windchime. NE is devil's gate. SW is devil's backdoor. I'd like to ask Cecil. In my flying star report, the recommended cures for #2 & #5 are mostly wood. Whereas you usually recommend metal in this forum. The breadwinner's element is strong water. Do you take account of this factor too? Thanks in advance.

Dear Cecil, Thanks for your comments. Please see below:

Dear Cecil, I just came back from Hong Kong and China. I would like to share my observation during my journey. 1. The trend in Hong Kong now is wearing a crystal bracelet. Or one could wear more than one. Black crystal is said to bring luck/fortune whereas yellow one to counterfeit bad luck. Those bracelets cannot be touched by anyone else except the owners. And before a seller hand over one to a buyer, he/she must say a mantra (or pray, I'm not sure). When I asked my cousin how to differ that kind of crystal among other common crystal, she said that kind of crystal has some "eyes" inside. The price is more than HK$ 100 depending on the size. I have seen a man wearing one with the size of each crystal is bigger than marble. My cousin said it was recommended by a fengshui practitioner. 2. There is one more product, crystal cave. It is said to capture fortune. The price could be more than HK$ 16000. I'll find the picture on the internet. It can be easily found at many crystal shops. 3. In Beijing and Guangzhou, many banks place a pair of male common lions made of brown fiberglass, instead of stone Chinese Lions. At the CCTV Tower, they place a pair of dragons. 4. Some restaurants attach capsized "fuk" character on their windows. This kind of character is copied from Prince Gong's Palace. 5. Many hotels in Beijing use semi-circular design such way like to retain wealth. For example: Grand Hyatt, Sheraton, Swissotel. 6. When I attended electronicAsia exhibition, I saw an interesting product: electronic windchimes. No need to worry about no wind because it generates virtual wind. But the company doesn't produce 6 rod windchimes yet. I already suggested to produce that one. Could you please make some comments based on my observation? Regards, Wasis

Hi, What makes the problem for this house: the slanting windows themselves or with the roof too? Thank you. Regards, Wasis

Dear Cecil, After reading your article: Interpreting Intangible Forces and considering the breadwinner's Gua number is 8, I made new arrangements of my furnitures. In living room, I switched Freezer & Refrigerator to desk's position, and vise versa (NE and E sectors). In my room (SW sector), I switched computer desk and wardobe. Please see before.jpg for the previous positions. I did it because the electronics appliances were on NE and SW lines. You may see the current positions at after.jpg. We don't find any problems (so far) with the arrangement in living room. In fact, we feel we get more clear space. The problem is in the SW bedroom. I feel I get less clear space there. It looks as if too many furnitures in the room and looks messy. In addition, if one enters the room, one can looks many messy computer & power cords very clearly. Please notice there is a wardobe on the left of the computer desk. If one sits in front of the computer desk, one will feel entrapped. Also, the sharp corner of the desk is pointing at the bed (red arrow). In your opinion, what should I do then? Rearrange back to the previous position or still using the current one? Thanks in advance. Regards, Wasis
