For practical reasons, nowadays in modern times, we should not be too concerned with which direction one is moving. For example, if you have to move in the east direction, one has to move to that direction! Our free auspicious dates are for the next 30 days at: http://dates.geomancy.net

Beware of bringing home dubious antiques. By chance, one may accidentally bring home something in addition of the antique.. Dear cecil, I read somewhere that it is bad feng shui to keep antiques at home. Is it true. Thanks.

In many instances, even if we try to build our perfect dream-Feng Shui home; there are often compromises to be made. Often, for convenience, we have toilets that are located at no longer choice location in the home. Or that kitchen stove could be viewed from the main entrance door. Thus we can try to build a near-perfect Feng Shui friendly home. But not always 100 percent perfect!

1. Numbers are like : one man's meat is another man's poison. 2. Numbers are very subjective. In fact, I know of many Chinese who are not superstitious of the number 13. While some others are very fearful of this number. 3. For some westerners 13 is an inauspicious number. But generally, many Chinese don't care too hoots about living on the 13th floor or a house number with 13. 4. For example, Singapore Airlines business class has only cabin numbers that are 12 and they skip 13. Thus, you can only find seats that are 12A, 12B, 12C, 12D etc.. and 14A, 14B etc... 5. Frankly, some Chinese also have no adverse "reaction" to the number 4 or 4 or 444 or even 14. 6. Common sense: 6.1. Doors facing road bad? 6.2. More to do with common sense. Can a run-amok vehicle plough into the home? More likely a vehicle plough into a home then side-swipe it. Thus a home at a T-junction "pose a slight if ever risks of such a thing".

Common sense (Cs) 1. The concept of "Common sense" takes precedence over Feng Shui in various aspects. For instance, the visibility factor plays a crucial role. Leaving the toilet door open may not be considered appropriate as it can be unpleasant to see inside a toilet or toilet bowl. However, some individuals, particularly young boys and men, may not mind it. The scenario changes if an attractive girl is using the toilet with the door slightly ajar. Common sense & more Cs 2. Another common-sense consideration is the direction in which the toilet door opens. It is recommended for the door to open inwards, while sliding or folding doors are also acceptable. 3. In cases where the toilet door opens outwards, as well as any door facing the stairs, it is essential for safety reasons that they open inwards. This precaution helps prevent accidents where someone exiting the toilet inadvertently pushes another individual down the staircase.

1. In my opinion, this has more to do with common sense. 2. Can search for "dangers of underground water" 3. More importantly, it is always not adviceable e.g. to stay close to locations where "fumes" can emit. 3.1 For example, it is not ideal to stay next door to a petrol station. Why? 3.2. Common sense says that fumes be it from people pumping petrol into their car-tanks or from underground storage beneath the station can emit fumes. 4. A key ingredient of Feng Shui = Wind and Water = "steam" (or gas). And such locations may produce too much (emit) too much of such unhealthy fumes). In addition to higher probability of an explosion vs staying next to a church. 5. Thus, in your case, just beware of fumes from gas such as methane (sewerage) etc...

Applying Feng Shui be it by a geomancer of D.I.Y. is the same as an orchestra conductor....

Only if one has done a Feng Shui Triage (investigations) can then determine whether the home is a unpolished gem or a sour grape....

Some homes are like a scooter. No matter how much one tweaks it, it will still remain as a scooter....

Yes, I either forgot to switch off the power-mains and to fix-the-leaks.

1. Some homes are like an unpolished gem. Some enhancements go a long way! From a small saloon car to a Ferrari! 2. But some homes are like a 100 cc scooter. No matter how much you use Elastoplast (Band-Aid) it does not matter! A lousy house is a lousy house!

Is the poison arrow in the form of a lone lamp post slicing into your main entrance door? Can I help you, here?

In my opinion, especially Tai Chi is a slow but (calculated to strengthen) since it has always been one of the most popular activities especially for the "aged"; I feel that it is OK. (Subject of course to the caution: that some who have certain health concerns; check with their personal doctor, first.

From a Feng Shui point of view: Eight Aspirations is static. And in the past, and even under the Lin Yun era of Black Hat (Tantric) sect; was very popular. Where you had mentioned North = Water etc... But the Eight Aspirations is a "fixed" model and does not consider TIME DIMENSION as compared to the timely stars of the Flying Star Feng Shui. In the 1970'sespecially1980's: a hiredgeomancer who proclaims that one needs a water position at North would not be questioned. But today, a client who is reasonably versed in basic Feng Shui would seriously question such a judgement or rather no brainer geomancer!

These are some considerations: 1. You are moving towards the right direction (in your analysis). 2. In the past and even today, a simpleton geomancer would determine that a person is say a weak wood person. 2.1 And then require their client(s) to feature more wood in the entire house. 3. Since 1980's with the opening up and relevation of Feng Shui thru the use of both Shapes and Forms and especially an appreciation of the Compass School: Eight House and Flying Stars. 4. Nowadays, many now know that even if they are say a weak fire person like yourself; 4.1. Each human being has a birth chart. And can be analysed thru Ba Zi. 4.2. Every home also has it's own birth chart. Thus this is why you have determined that home to belong to Period 7. 5. Thus placing a water feature at one's home can now be determined by what are the stars at a specific sector. 5.1. For example, a sector with the current prosperity Water star #8 should be the correction location for a water feature provided; this is not the toilet, a bedroom or somewhere inconvenient or odd for a water position. 6. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui: 6.1. Ming Tang (Bright Hall) and clear space to "accumulate" and allow good qi to both collect and come into a home. 6.2. Here, 70 percent of the time, even if one's home or building frontage does not have water stars; but if one were to place a water feature at the frontage; often, there is no issue, here. 6.3. The rationale is because, when we place a water postion, nothing can be built on-top of this water feature, thus allowing CLEAR SPACE. 6.4. Based on Shapes and Forms: CLEAR SPACE is one of the secret weapons. As clear space can allow a BRIGHT HALL effect. 6.5. While especially in the 1970's; in Singapore and with a reasonably sized landed property garden, Mango and Rambutan trees were popular. And once these trees esp. Mango trees reach 8 or more years old, they cast a large shadow below the ground. 6.5.1. Thus creating a dim and no longer BRIGHT HALL effect. 7. Placing a water feature or a fish tank and applying Flying Star Feng Shui: 7.1. From a practical point of Feng Shui; under the 20 YEAR Flying Star Feng Shui; especially if the water star #8 is found at the frontage or alternatively SW is at the frontage; having a water feature at the frontage e.g. at say the living room balcony is fine or OK. 7.1.1. Here, one don't really need to look at the annual Flying Stars to see where this water feature e.g. fountain can be shifted, year to year. In fact, how to? Often the water feature or fountain is pretty huge and only meant for e.g. the living room balcony! 7.2 Again, placing a water feature at the living room balcony is (I suspect) akin to Para 6.2, above. 8. If the annual star #8 happens to fall at one's living room balcony or a reasonble location that can "accept" a water feature, then as you had mentioned, we can then place a water position for that YEAR. 8.1. As I had mentioned earlier, often a reasonable sized water feature is pretty heavy and one can't simply place it on a set of wheels and start rolling it around our house! 8.2. Please note that the more effective water feature is defintely not one of those small table-top water feature. Frankly, such water features are simply? Useless. And furthermore need to constantly add water to it. As it is small and water easily evaporates from it. WHy become a slave to such a water feature, I wonder?

These are some considerations: 1. Three main purposes of a ba gua mirror:- 1.1. If a poison arrow e.g. another neighbour's roof or lamp post is aimed at a home or a home is at a 'T'junction; then aba gua mirror may be used. Here, a conVEX mirror is used to deflect sha qi or such poison arrow(s) if any. 1.2.If there is a missing corner at an important sector or if facing a beautiful scenery, a conCAVE mirror is used to "suck" in. In the case of the missing corner, to "suck" back wealth. 1.3. Protection. Cars got air bags to protect.Often a bagua mirror with the 8 trigrams is used in conjunctionwith a middle convex mirror for the dual purpose of 1.1. and against "evil" spirits. 2. Inyour case, very hard totellfrom the photo ifyour situation is similar toa 'T'junction or not. If so,Para 1.1 may be used e.g. in your photo the smallest TOP middle photo. 3. Note: a ba gua mirror is not a cure all. Sometimes, there are more leaks in the home.

Two important traits of a successful business person: 1. Determination and 2. Competitor For this person, he/she is not that competitive. As competitive means, don't want to lose out. Try to be at the best in one's field ie. always try to exce to be 1st or 2nd..or even 3rd ranked.

Many products are sold in the name of Feng Shui.

Some companies should look at their core products, first before thinking that Feng Shui MAY help...

The concept of grand duke comes about because planet jupiter has the greatest mass. With greatest mass, comes a strong gravity. Strong gravity can affect various planets and the earth. Can a brick be affected by gravity?

1. In my opinion, based on eye-ball method, the toilet is not a the centrepoint of the apartment. 2. If the main door is closed most of the time, (yes) it looks like this is not the mouth of the apartment. (Most probably it is as you had mentioned "NW"). 3. All streetdirectories even electronic ones such as from http://onemap.sg has the North marking stated on the bottom left frame or rather 0 degrees is alaways on the top. If one ones one's apartment in relation to the block plan, one can easily accurately determine the exact compass bearing with a protractor.

Good News! 9 out of 10 times; some use scare tactics to PLY their trade....

These are some considerations: 1. Haunted home 1.1 Often the clues are the eyes and surrounding eye area 2. Moles on the face Depends on specific location 3. Health considerations Things like a pale face and especially when someone glimse at the fingers (cuticle area) 4. Bull-shit I can still recall this incident: sometime in the year 2003; I was driving up the multi-storey car park. And this person was walking aimlessly. When I parked my car; this person wearing a turban: he came up to me and say "your face is".... and he can help me. I told him off! Just be wary of this last category.... who often prey on the innocent by trying to instil fear. And after that a CON job is waiting for the VICTIM.

Many taxi drivers say that they are not machines and cannot work prolonged long hours without feeling the effects of health issues later on (besides the danger of fatigue).
