These are some considerations: 1. A FLAT / APARTMENT This may be aa catch-22 question if it is an apartment or flat: as the facing direction can be interpreted in "many" ways: some geomancers say: stand inside the main door looking outwards; others the facing of the building or stack and/or the "face' is where the most yang energy comes in. If so, for an apartment: sometimes even the main door or front door may not necessarily be the facing direction. Thus, changing the main door may not be correct. 2. LANDED PROPERTY 2.1 For a landed property; in my opinion; majority of the time (especially in Singapore) where homes are back to back; it is highly unlikely that the "face" of the home is the back of the house. 2.2 However, in some other countries especially out-skirts away from the city centre; some homes may even have their facing direction; say at the back of the home e.g. a beautiful patio, dinning area looking towards a beautiful lake etc... 3. Thus, one has to make sure where is one's "facing direction". And as pointed out above; may not always be at the frontage. 4. NOW: Assuming, the main (front) door is the frontage; in my opinion, a Feng Shui expert would say; tilting the main (front) door is only TEMPORARY. Ultimately, it is still the traditional facing direction i.e. most likely standing inside the house looking out of the front door (irreguardless) whether you had tilted the front door or shifted it to the side of the home. 5. The key success factor in getting the Flying star facing and sitting direction correct is about : where the most "yang qi" comes into the home. And this is the key reason for the Flying star. 6. I repeat: Flying star is about determining where is (are/was /were) the opening or openings where "air or wind" could come into the home. And from this; we determine the Flying Star. 7. Thus, what you mentioned; changing the facing direction and then "pretend" to or "pyschologically" changing the Flying star to fit what one want's to hear is = NOT REAL. This is unfortunately; not the way Flying Star Feng Shui is / was / were designed for. 8. Thus, overall; this is like in the wildest dream: getting the earthquake to shift one's home so that the orientation SEEM's good on paper. This is frankly, akin to bluffing one's self! This is only self-defeating.

Based on the broad view of the google map; indeed your home from a MACRO level seems to fit the typical home at a T-junction. This is a fact. It is certainly good news to hear that on a MICRO level; the traffic flow is very minimal. And that your home is set back .... etc... Thus all these are added news. We don't have the privy of such an information earlier. Frankly, it is often not about very minimal flow of traffic. But rather; it's that the one unlikely chance that someone could be drunk or simply loose control of a vehicle and steam towards... kapum! ......that's all. Again, looking at your interior layout plan;will solid wall and gate; again a plus point. For example many homes in the US; only have a road kerb to deter a wondering vehicle. Left-hand and right-hand drive road also ... da da da di di di...

Other considerations: 1. Three-Chinese-coins EACH 1.1. Drawing a parallel; often, we hear of geomancers giving advice to tie three-Chinese ancient coins like those with wordings: Zhao Cai Jun Bao (Invite wealth - Bring in Treasure); 1.2. A common advise is to place this set of three coins into one's purse. &/OR 1.3. Stick these three coins side by side onto say a calculator &/OR 1.4. Place the string three coins into the cashier's drawer &/OR accounts book. 2. This is no different from placing the three-coins (of course without any string) just placed side by side; onto the floor. Thus if one steps on it; one is stepping on wealth. As opposed to the 10 emperor coins. 3. In the past, whenever a foundation e.g. a bridge or even some buildings are done; one hears that a child has gone missing. Most likely, the skull would end up at one of the "pillars" of the foundation. 3.1. Thus burying the Five Treasures is simply; e.g. if one has a rectangular plot and the building is rectangular in shape; coins or "treasures" are laid at all four corners of the rectangular plot plus at the centrepoint of the rectangle. 3.2. Cantonese dialect group considers the "Five spirits" important e.g. the five spirts are: that of the North, South, East, West and Centre GOD. 4. Toaist also uses the Treasures concept. Such as the "Eight Treasures". And often, the eight treasures are often displayed : 4 by 4 on each side of a Toaist temple. The five treasures is also one the ideas or symbolism. 5. Placement of coins - thingy is more of symbolism and/or belief. Then say scientific form of Feng Shui.

These are some considerations:- 1. Symbolism:- 1.1. A set of three-coins EACH 1.1.1 Under the Flying Star association: number #3 represents wood element 1.1.2 And as the coins are suppose to be made of metal (copper); 1.1.3 Thus a set of three-coins EACH symbolises wealth : where metal destroys wood to create wealth (under the Five Elements concept). 1.2. A set of 10 Emperor coins 1.2.1 Thus a single row of 10 Emperor coins are often buried e.g. below the wooden door of the main door. Here, please refer to Part 2: showing a sheet containing the names of the ten emperors of the Chinese Qing (Ching) dynasty. 1.2.2. Thus when the coins are buried in a row; it symbolises continuity e.g. 10 emperors of the Qing dynastic implies a long reign by them. And it also symbolises: a continous string of wealth and longevity (long reign via the Qing dynasty). 2. Thus, based on the above argument, it is not prudent to separate them out into7 emperor coins and 3 others (a set of three coins each). Thus, best to bury the 10 coins at the main entrance. 3. And a set of three coins EACH can be buried (in any multiples of three.) Here, again there are no rules set in concrete. 3.1 As STEPPING on three coins each represent wealth; often, immediately after the main door;a set of three coins EACH (more no issue) is buried into the floor before the tiles are laid. The idea, here is that when we step into the house, and say if we step on a set of three coins (placed side by side) it symbolises stepping on wealth - coming into the home. 4. The concept of "Five treasures". Again the set of three coins can be placed at all four "corners" of the home and one set in the middle of the home. For example, much like the boundary of a country, a home usually should have "four corners or more". Thus, one corner is the far end of say the living room corner; the other end is the master bedroom and it's furthest corner; and other corners. This represents placing wealth at "North, South, East, West and Centrepoint". Each room can if one wants to; place the "five treasures". 5. As I have emphasised earlier; there are no hard or fast rule; some get help to identify the 10 emperor coins and then bury them (standing outside of the house) looking inwards from the 1st Qing emperor placed on the right most to the last Qing emperor to the left most. Here, it coincides with the traditional way of reading text from left to right. Again, if random order; still ok. 6. There are more rulesets. Best to seek advice from your geomancer.

These are some information:- 1. Do take note that all the coins that we purchase in most of the shops are considered as "replica" coins. We can say that the coins are non-geniune. 2. Majority of the coins are considered as "replica-ancient" Chinese coins and metallic in nature often containing copper and some other mixed alloy e.g. bronze etc.. 3. When purchasing such "replica" coins; best to purchase coins with metallic content such as those mentioned under Para 2. There are some coins which are made from plastic. Don't buy these for coin laying procedure. 4. Other civilizations mint coins that usually have a sidewith the head: such as an emperor or even a king or queen as in the UK coins - currently with Her Royal Highness Elizabeth Regina II. 5. Thus, such coins can easily be differated with : Heads side = the side with a figure head on it. And the reverse is automatically called the Tail-side. 6. All Chinese ancient coins have: ONE side = Wordings. And the reverse side = scripture / picture or even the Eight trigram. 7. Technically, we may call the wordings side perhaps = HEADS. My argument is that in a specific dynastic; the wordings would signify the emperor's reign. So, call it heads. 8. In my opinion, automatically, the reverse with either pictorial scribbings or eight trigram = "flower side" perhaps should be called the Tail-side. 9. Chinese ancient coins have many designs. Some of the photos; can be found under this forum when I had visited the Shanghai museum a few years ago. 10. Usually wordings on the Chinese coins either refer to the reign of an emperor or is carved with auspicious sounding phases like: Zhao Cai Jun Bao = Invite Wealth; Bring Treasure. 11. Attached, please find the wordings on a sheet where ten coins representing each of the 10 Qing dynastic emperors - were suppose to be attached to the sheet. By the way, a few years ago this 10 set of coins sell for SGD $2.50. Today, you bought it for SGD $3.50. Blame it on inflation! To be continued.. Part 3... Good day mr lee, I read through the article u posted on location to bury the heaven coin is best to be at center of the main door. Am I right? And actually I bought total 10coins from bugis for 3.50. Can pls advise where else it it's best to place the remaining 7 cOins? Is it corner of kitchen? Dining? Living? Or bedroom? Or my weakest direction? Thanks so much for ur valuable advise.

1. Other considerations include information from this link:- http://forum.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-under.htm 2. For example, it is never wise to have a bed directly above a sewerage pipe. 3. Thanks for your picture. Frankly, of course, in a perfect world; one should'nt even have a sewer pipe cum sewer junction / man-hole at all! 4. But we all live in a real world. In Singapore, like every other country; often sewerage man-holes are either at the front or the back of the home. No choice as these are put in place by a developer. 5. Of course it would be perfect or nice if it runs behind the home. 6. In this real world (not make believe); do check how the sewerage pipe runs into the home. Hopefully, it does not run along areas where one may be lying down e.g. on a floor or directly above the living room flooring or a guest room at the ground level. 7. Otherwise, even if one say pray to GOD, the man-hole cover would not disappear. I believe "I dream of genie" girl will also say.. sorry... "too bad".. NEXT....

These are some of the considerations: 1. Placement of coin(s) is an in-exact science. And there are no right or wrong technique of doing so. 2. The core idea is that of symbolism in custom (not Feng Shui). In that of "PLACING WEALTH" into one's home. 3. Thus, some Geomancers will advice a range of "ideas": 3.1. Some Geomancers say, simply scatter some coins in a random manner into the home. For example, prior to laying the top most level tile or flooring some coins; e.g. need not be "ancient" Chinese coins; can even be "left over" or "spare change" such as one cent coins or five cents or even larger denomination. 3..2. Another more systematic method is to lay coins at "specific" locations; in an orderly manner in a home where the tiles /flooring has not been laid yet. 4. Thus, if some one were to tell us that this method is wrong or not right is either egoistic or has only a one track mind. 5.As mentioned above, there is really no ONE correct method of the placement of coins. Just remember: it is the act of "literally" laying down or throwing coins into one's home: i.e. the concept of PLACING WEALTH into one's home - that's all. Nothing scientific or rocket science or must only be done a specific way. Part 2..... to be continued in the next message

A major key success factor is to apply Holistic Feng Shui. Such as http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Concept_of_Maximizing_Marks Applying proper Feng Shui is not about taking short cuts nor looking at or staring at the main door for an answer.

In my opinion, it is not necessary to say anything when sprinkling salt.

Always remember: Can a run-away car run amok and smash into the premises (garden) home and pose a problem?

Reference: http://geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/fortunes-2011.htm Sickness Star this year is at South Misfortune/Sickness Star this year is at East Disputes/Quarrel Star this year is at North Education/Romance Star this year is at South-West Grand Duke this year is East, 90 Degree. - Avoid sitting facing the grand duke or disturbing him by having renovations. Location in Conflict is West. - Avoid having renovations done opposite the location in conflict. This year, homes sitting west facing East must take extra precaution. The trigger or fuse is to do major renovations at East. If so, dire consequences such as calamity and ultimate bad luck could occur for East facing homes. Sitting East facing West; should equally be concerned especially terrace homes.

Yes, always #5 (misfortune, sickness) and #2 (sickness) ; unless under Period 5; #5 is good while under Period 2; #2 is good. Unfortunately, tilting main door is often temporary: Ultimately, it will still be east. If there are areas in other parts of the home e.g. patio that has #8 or double #8; and if that sector is a location such as the living room; then spent more time or activity at that area. Another concept is; if there are other openings that are auspicious or better; then can close the main door when not in use.

Further to what I had mentioned; the chief concern really is if a run-away vehicle : should it plow thru into the home; what damage (and calamity) it may cause. As there is a higher probability of such a thing happening e.g. a runaway Toyota vehicle with stuck gas paddle or a drunkard. Thus, this is one of the reason for avoiding a direct path of "qi" towards the home such as from a T-junction.

Thanks for fixing the link. Now I can see it. Yes,in general, this may be considered as a classic case of a home at a T-junction. However, it also depends on a few major considerations: 1. Just imagine a run away car that slams into a property. Things like a left-hand or right-hand drive country; 2. Where is the main gate; 3. How large or small is the garden to the main door or face of the home; 4. Any openings directly facing the T-junction 5. Any road humps to slow down the car when approaching the T-juction etc....

1. Reference on the stove: Kitchen Stove & Moreor http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Kitchen_Stove_%26_More 2. The kitchen is the domain of the woman of the house. And under the Compass School, it should best sit and face one the the woman's best direction (if possible). 3. However, if based purely on Shapes and Form's Feng Shui; then what you mentioned is a key cardinal rule of having the stove against the wall: not only to prevent splatter but also avoid "wind vortex" that could cause the flame to spill towards one's clothing (if it is placed on an island) or even worse, extinguish the fire.. and let gas built up. 4. If a stove is to be placed on an island in the middle of the kitchen; then best to consider those electric ones or induction ones where flames does not come out of a hob. 5. A stove facing a refrigerator is OK. As a refrigerator is considered as belonging to the metal element. But avoid having the stove face a water position such as a sink. 6. In addition, it is best that the stove is separated by at least 12 inches from the sink. 7. Yes, as for the drain line, best not to have the stove sharing the same wall as the drain pipe. Allowing the sink to be there is fine.

Recently, I got lots of misses.. as they say a "miss (missed oportunity) is as good as a mile!"

Sorry, I thought exams are fixed by the examiner and not the other way around. In my opinion, if one has studied (smart) and well prepared for an examination; the date is not a major issue. Really; this is the first time I heard this kind of "self-select" exam date. A first for me! As for your feel that your husband may be cheating on you; you should perhaps consult your immediate family e.g. parents or very close friends to discuss what you could do. Often, direct communication with spouse could help to improve the relationship. When it comes to such a thing; best to consider professional help - don't keep everything inside of you.

For your first question, so long as the steps leading to second storey is not directly seen from the main door, what you describe is generally acceptable. However, some may feel or rather be more conservativ and may want to play it safe, thus to cover it. For the second question, it has to do with commonsense. As often who wants to see the toilet when eating.

1. In my opinion, it is difficult to comment with the limited information; available. 2. Often, when it comes to the question of : Should I move? For many, the question posed is: will my new home be better or worse than the current home. 3. For many (unlike yourself); perhaps have stayed in a home; not much fantastic Feng Shui luck; but still can scrape thru. What happens if the next home has worse Feng Shui; or similar to what you may have encountered? 4. However, in your case; I am not sure how detailed the "Feng Shui" analysis and cures that was done previously. 5. On your question of "how extreme to have to move": Currently para 4; is a real question mark; and you have indicated that it is beyond cures. And that you are facing many issues (tons of issues). Yet, you have mentioned that it is too extreme to move. 6. In such a situation, it is always right to discuss amongst yourself especially with your partner (perhaps before things get worse); to decide on the future: stay put or move. If move (often, how bad can it perhaps be when compared to current situation?). Thus, you have to work it out and see what is best for you and your family.

In my opinion, there is no precedence for selecting a business name unless it is in Mandarin. The rationale is that all Mandarin (Chinese) characters have specific number of strokes (based on the Five Elements) and also each character or combination of character (wording) symbolises something if possible auspicious sounding or phonetic sounding or a good word. Unless one converts and uses an auspicious Chinese company name or name "plate"; having it in any other language is a non-precedence. Furthermore, nowadays, in many countries, even if one selects a name, it has to be checked with the registrar of business to see whether has it being currently used.

Reference: http://www.geomancy.net/info/initial-opening.pdf Under the procedure (the last Para 8.), it mentions that it is best to leave the items for 3 days or more. Thus if the procedure is done on a Tuesday, best to leave the items till Thursday, And should be removed only on or after Friday. But for instances where one has to start renovations immediately, then often it is left for at least 1 hour after the procedure is done. The items are eaten or THROWN away never given out to strangers - whatsoever; as this is symbolic of giving away one's wealth. For new homes or apartments, sprinkling slat may not be ideal especially for brand new condo units. As salt and later water may inadvertenly spoil the flooring especially parquet wood floorings. Frankly, there is no hard and fast rule nor rocket science associated with the procedure. Thus normally, it should be done after spreading the rice. And often, salt could/should/may be spread especially in areas like the toilet and kitchen. But again, do remember that too much salt is acidic and can discolour marble and wood ..... Imagine this: If I do add "salt" into the procedure, there are always some who do not know the consequences - and even mistake sprinkling salt into new homes! Here, as I mentioned, try sprinkling salt onto parquet flooring.. and behold... one may get white spots on parts of the flooring...

Sorry to hear about your situation. 1. It is best that you feedback to your existing local geomancer. And ask the person for further advice as it is not like posting a few lines of text and then "worse-still" expect a miracle to happen. 2. Even if you have been reading resources; it does not mean that it can be "wholesale" applied towards your situation: The saying goes: "a little knowledge is dangerous".

Human or man luck or feel good factor usually far outweighs others: Many of us don't have good Heaven luck (born with) nor Earth luck (Feng Shui of the home). But those who have good human or man luck; will go far. FEEL GOOD, please!
