In my opinion, the concept of evil eye differs greatly in many cultures. And the use &/or beliefs in an "evil eye" extends from the early Romans, the Greeks, Israelites, Tibetian, Turkish, Iranian, Muslimand a dozen or more countries BUT not the Chinese. The closest the Chinese have is the twin door gods to protect the home or the use of various types of ba gua mirror(s). The evil eyehas more to do with beliefs and culture or astrology. China or Chinese culture does not use nor featureprominentlythe "evil eye". So you asked the wrong question in the wrong forum. As I said, earlier to each, their culture. In Singapore, we do also have a predominantly Indian community and be it Indianhindus or muslims seldom if any practice such things.

1. Really sorry to hear about it. (The constructions coincide withthe two of the worst sectors for this year 2010) 2. In the meantime, the best that can be done (crossing fingers) is to place "metal" between your home and the "offending" construction(s):- 2.1. Temporary purchase those aluminium foil and if windows or bay window areas at waist height face the construction then consider temporary placing aluminium foils. And for open areas (without damaging the fixtures) try to hang wind-chime to "counter" partially the issue(s). 3. As for shifting to another home:- 3.1 One major concern is hopefully the next apartment is a better one than this one else, it goes back to square one or a catch 22 senario 3.2 The decision to move (other than Feng Shui) is of course - any penalties assuming if it is a rented area - if any. 4. Feng Shui wise, it is good to take note of sectors to beware of for next year:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/fortunes-2011.htm Take note the following sectors for 2011 (next year):- 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. 5. The last resort is to consider Para 2.1 and "sit out" until after the next 15 days of the coming Chinese New Year which is roughly 5 months time.

Frankly there are more important considerations in Feng Shui than the fittings in a home or office. For example, if one talks about strong metal; as glass or tempered glass and or bullet proof glass is equally as solid; it is also considered as a "metal element". And nowadays, many buildings / shop fronts even many condominiums e.g. in Singapore : The Quartz and Varsity Park have quite alot of such glass. So do we so actively say that these buildings have strong metal. Feng Shui is about the big picture and not how many brass door FITTINGs one has on a WOODEN door. If you want to talk about metal fittings; there are many buildings even in Singapore and the newly TOP landed property homes around Sembawang that not only has so brass fittings but literally, the doors are made of solid metal. And, all new generation Singapore Government flats have a household shelter aka bomb shelter. In Feng Shui, when we do a site review; we ain't gona count how many fantastic brass fittings in that home. These things are peanuts. This is not Feng Shui, but if one has brass fittings; of course, it is best to maintain it. But rust free? Frankly, this is the first time that I heard brass fittings can get rusty. Real quality brass may oxidise but not rust. Feng Shui is about the big picture and not about "peanuts". In some improvement courses: users are asked to THINK BIG, not think peanuts. For example, we don't go around counting how many brass toilet fittings in our home even if we have 10 toilets.

Frankly, if it was done, it WAS done (full-stop). Thus, if one was suppose to repaint a car red; but somewhere along the way the car was repainted black - tell me what should you do: 1. Since it has been painted black, just leave it be 2. If got tons of money then repaint the car RED (full-stop) Such things where got "alternative" remedies!

Will it be because of Dong Tupls advise

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Frankly, even amongst Geomancers; some have even considered artifical plants as acceptable. As symbolically, a pot of artifical "green" plant to some experienced Geomancers is equally acceptable. Here, symboilism plays a large part in Feng Shui. No need to have the "real deal". 2. Some geomancers argue that as plants are growing: thus they consider it "yang" or alive or with activity and not suitable for a "yin" or suppose to be "yin" = rest location such as a bedroom. 3. In general logically speaking wood element in nature consists of:- 3.1. Real wood. And as everyone knows; there are so many varieties and colours of wood: From maple wood, pine wood to teak wood, sandal wood, cherry wood, oak wood. And these wood alone has colour tones that range from light yellow (pine) slightly greyish (maple); teak wood is browish, cherry wood is browish-reddish and oak or walnut is dark brown colour. 3.2. It is natural that since wood colour ranges from light yellow to the colour of some earth or sand; some geomancers would classify this large range of brown or brownish colour as belonging instead to the "earth " element. 4. Because of this, some geomancers are divided in whether to classify "brown" as wood element or earth element depending on HOW they see it. For me, I would classify or fine tune it further as such:- 4.1. Wood element ? = Wood or wood tone or brown and 4.2. Wood element ? = also green colour 5. Frankly, since green colour is unique; and one of the primary colours; no one should get it's element wrong. Thus, GREEN or green plants should be considered as wood element. 6. Under the Flying Star Feng Shui, at sectors where there is especially (depending on the Water and Mountain star) interaction; if there is a bad wood #3 (lawsuits, scandals and conflicts) then many geomancers would advise their client to refrain from using GREEN colour.

These are some considerations:- 1. In the past, especially in the 1970's to 1980's where many geomancers practise using the following tools:- 1.1 Basic to Advanced Ba zi 1.2 Basic concepts to Advanced Five Elements concept 2. During those donkeys years (1970-1980's) and unfortunately, some still practice this kind of Feng Shui; 2.1 Such practitioners are too simplistic: thus if say one leaks wood element; then as what you had mentioned below; some of these geomancers would give advice such as what you had mentioned. 3. Today, many of us understand and read widely about things like Flying Star Feng Shui. In the flying star concept; just because one needs wood element; does not mean that the entire home needs "wood energy" or element. 4. Look at it from another way: 4.1 Even in the US, majority of homes were constructed with mostly wood: Wooden frame structure, wooden or plywood panels etc... 4.2 So that it mean that if one is say a Strong fire or strong wood person, should not live in a home with everything wood or the so called wood energy! 5. How about a home that is made of bricks or concrete or reinforced steel cum concrete? Does the same logic imply that if one is a strong earth person; living in a fully concrete home is bad due to the so called "earth (concrete) energy".

No major issue. In-fact, this proposed location; the study table is even further away than your actual Proposed Layout 3, if you can check back.

Some of us have specific qualties to look for in our future partner. This lady's specifications are based purely on compatibility in the Chinese Horoscope! www.lovesigns.net

Advice for men: Never, never allow the kitchen to be of equal size to the living room or even bigger! Else, your partner will dominate you "like hell!" You don't want a situation where, she becomes the boss of the home. Just imagine! Your wife becomes the Minister of Finance and Defence at home! And YOU? Well, a Minister without any portfolio! Hanpecked? Well, make sure that the size of your home's kitchen is as small as possible!

In my Chinese horoscope, I am a rabbit! And based on the CHinese horoscope, my worst pairing is with a rooster! We rabbits are not compatible with the rooster, that's for sure in this caricature!

Yes, I have a secret affair! Not that kind of secret affair! But a secret affair with the Feng Shui emporium! You see, I love to buy all sorts of (rubbish products) from? From the Feng Shui emporium! My wife recently found out as I left a paper trail.. max all my credit cards.. and the rest is history... bills, bills, bills and bills!

1. The larger window area is no major issue. Just that some morning sun would "come-in" to the bedroom. Fortunately, this is the "morning sun" and not the afternoon sunlight - which is OK. 2. Actually the standing fan is not an issue. 3. Just make sure that "things" or items closer to the window would not inadvertently be "splashed" with any rainfall (depending on the shelter or no shelther for the windows). Don't want a situation where the rain can splash and damage say any items like notebook pcs or the fan core mechanism - causing electrical short).

Finally, this man can rejoice! As his Geomancer called him into his office. And told him that he can finally be allowed to get married! Let's hope this man's joy-stick is still in good shape! Cheers!

In my opinion, based strictly on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui; the attached proposed revision to Layout 3, seems a better option. As the standing fan is movable; I am not too concern where it should be placed.

Such geomancers are worst than Satan?

Ba zi has indications of how competitive a person is. What is competitor under the Ten Deities of the Ba zi? The higher this number; implies that the person is highly competitive in nature. For example, a high score of 5 means that this person always try not to lose out to others. And would like to be either 1 or 2 or 3 place or ranking.

Some of us consider our home: PERFECT! However, in Feng Shui, few if ever do we find a home that is 100 perfect in terms of Feng Shui or Fung Sway! Most or all homes will sure have some Feng Shui faults or other. These faults can be ranked in terms of how bad the "leak" or "leaks" are.

I followed my Geomancer's advice. AND one better! My Geomancer told me to place 9 roses at my romance sector at SW! I thought I could be better off! So, I placed 999 roses, instead! AND THE REST IS HISTORY! I sat, there, and HOPE, HOPE, HOPE! But my neighbour, simply utter a line to this beautiful girl: "Are you free this Sunday evening, I have two tickets to a show" YES, THE REST IS HISTORY! History for me, but a new beginning for that guy ! SUCKS !!#*#*(#($(

As much as we like to get guidance from "our charts"; but ba zi is only about our Heaven Luck. And under the holy trinity of Chinese Luck; ba zi accounts to only 33.3 percent of all the luck:- Chinese Holy Trinity of Luck: ====================== Heaven Luck (via bazi) or born with Earth Luck or Feng Shui Human or Man Luck or our relationship with others We can still squeeze out luck from the other two areas : Earth Luck (33.3 percent) and Human (33.3 percent). More importantly, by the time the lady is 35; frankly might as well not get married as most of the time her biological clock would haveor close to "shutting down". If the Geomancer says, marry after 26 at least not sobad;but to recommend marriageon or after 35; is beyond comprehension! Assuming that she isstill young and was told to do so. All of us have to take acalculated risks in most of the things we do. BUT DO AVOID: 1. Listening to other's religiously 2. Avoid Auto-suggestion 3. Self-fullfilling prophecy!

Hey! Who is THE freakin guy who developed the Eight House concept?

Tell me, tell me! Who does not want: HEALTH, WEALTH $$$$$ & HAPPINESS!

Further to what I had mentioned; these are some interesting points: 1. There are many cases where as a result of a tragic death; the person who had dead; does not "know" that he/she has died. And in many situations; could return to his /her favourate place. 2. For example; this is a true story in 1930; this lady had a wonderful time with a new found boyfriend. And tragically, she died nearby in a car crash. 3. During the session where she was asked whether she knew about it; she said that she had no knowledge that she had died. And "strangely" she had walked and no one even "paid attention" to her. 4. This lady returned to the hotel suite that she last enjoyed very much when she was alive with her male companion. And she had remained in that hotel suite "ever since". 5. For those who have seen the blockbuster "The Sixth Sense" starring Bruce Willis; such things in real life does really happen: Where he acted as a person who did not realise that he is already dead. 6. Again do note that many of such spirits; meant no harm to humans. And would be more happy to "co-exists" in the same place although from a different plane or dimension. 7. Such spirits can be classified as "low ranking" or often non-evil where their souls were simply "shocked" and "not realising" that they were dead. "Low ranking" in the sense that they don't possess superior powers like the devil. 8. Hauntings occur, sometimes when inadvertently someone does some renovation and "affected" the spirit's hiding place or disturb them in that sense. 9. And often the "evil one" does occur especially thru a family member as a channel or "portal" of sorts. 10. And it is those "devils" that once awhile if they in a place; would then be able to control these "low ranking" spirits. 11. Thus, as mentioned these low ranking spirits often don't want to cause any problems and they would be more afraid of us then otherwise.

1. Yes, cremation is neutral. And even if someone dies of a tragic death; bringing in an urn contain that person's or family's ashes is again neutral. 2. In my opinion, should not be a cause any other misfortunes (if any). 3. Thus, keeping status quo or sprinkling the ashes into the sea is equally acceptable. 4. As we grow old; one day we may not have control of how the urn is "disposed". And perhaps, sprinkling the ashes is some form of a healing, then go for this option (if you are not looking at another option of placing his urn in a niche/place. 5. Best ofLuck! Mika H. wrote: Thank you so much for your advice. I have just one more question. It is about keeping the ashes of my husband's father. I researched this subject in your forum and you said the ashes are usually "neutral". My father-in-law died of a tragic accident happened in the snow mountain nearly 20 years ago, due to the lack of clear signage--severe neglect by the government. After his death, his sons went into a deep depression and my brother-in-law is still quite depressed. Right before we got married, we got hit by the huge government bus which totaled our car. In this case, do you think it's still OK to keep his ashes? We are also thinking about spreading his ashes on the mountain he loved. Any comment will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for the generosity of your time in reading this and writing comments.
