1. Please note that there is a difference between NEGATIVE stars and EXCESSIVE Yin stars. 2. For example, EXCESSIVE Yin stars may not be Negative stars. But think about it, Negative stars may or may not be Yin stars. Please go thru the two statements carefully before jumping the gun!

This toilet is on the ground floor. Just peer into the picture and one can literally see the shower head and bath-tub! A totally full clear glass (exterior) toilet! And this development has lots of it at all levels!

1. Snakes is prominent as one of the 12 creatures of the Chinese Zodiac sign. 2. Chinese myths both deplict it as both good and bad. 3. For many us, we sprinkle sulfur powder to deter snakes. Since your apartment is in the basement; it is a tendency of snakes to like cooler areas. 4. Perhaps, do get pest control people to help you deal with it. Julie G. wrote: Hi - I live in a basement apartment of a nice old 2-story home in verygood shape. Since last summer I have occasionally found a snake inmy stairwell near my door (my only entry point). This spring the snakeswere appearing much more frequently and on 2 occasions I found a snake in my bedroom. Lots was done to control this and we finallyfelt that the points of entry were identified and sealed. Soon after sealing off their entry points outside and inside I nearly stepped on a dead snake immediately next to my car. This happened again a few weeks later. It has been nearlya month since this last round - and just today another snake appeared in my stairwell. I would like to know if there is any meaning in the world of Feng Shui that could be applied to a situation like this and if so - are there any remedies? I truly love myapartment but have not been able to fully relax here in many months. I really don't want to move I just want the snakes to find a new home. Interestingly, I had a Feng Shui consultant into myhome a number of weeks ago. It turned out that both areas that I hoped to improve (prosperity and relatioships) also happened to fall - according to the Ba Gua - inthe exact locations each of the snakes were found. Any thoughts or meaning or recommendations you have would be greatly appreciated as I am quite discouraged at this point in how best to deal with this situation. Many thanks, Julie

1. Please refer to the attachment to this message. 2. This report is for a Period 8, North 3 facing direction. Lenus L. wrote: My house is built in Period 8, sitting S3 and facing N3. The east sector of the flying star chart has 5-6-2 combo which I read can attract ghost especially if there is a door. Is it true? 3. Only two sectors have "Excessive Yin" stars. And these two sectors are North and North-East. 4. Thus what you had mentioned is not true for the east sector of this Flying star chart. Thus, North and North-East have clusters of flying star numbers that are all yin stars. 5. For these two sectors at North and North-East; yes, it is best that the rooms does not become store rooms with a door. Else it can attract ghosts or a portal of such sorts. 6. For example, there are so many English shows that shows hauntings related to store-rooms.

A1: Since this is a bedroom, the best method to activate #8 is to open the window to allow qi to "flow" in and circulate in the bedroom. A2: Use Yin water e.g. colours such as blue bedsheets in that bedroom. Curtains can also be considered. A3: Fire element is preferered. Anonymous wrote: Dear Master Cecil Lee, I've read quite alot of posts on Fengshui online and have learnt quite a bit about Flying Stars for home Feng Shui. However, I still have some doubts about the application in different element sectors. Hope you could answer these questions: 1) This year, the Annual Star #8 flew to my bed room whichfalls partially in SouthEast and partially East Sectors. I would like to activate this #8 for wealth and health but read that water features cannot be used in bedroom.What FS enhancement/placement can I do to activate this Annual#8. The other stars in the SoutEast/East Sectors of the bedroom are m5-b6-w9/m6-b5-w8 . 2) How to counter triple #7 stars in a bedroom(SW sector)which also have a #4 base star ? 3) I understand that it is not appropriate to place water feature to activate a base star#8 in a NW sector( main door in this sector facing SW) as water exhausts metal.Is this correct ? if I can't use water here, what's best for activation of the #8 here ?By the way, the other stars here are m3-w2-y1 Thanks. Would very much appreciate your comments/advice.

This is one of those charms to ward off evil on a typical Chinese person's door.

1. All your questions are centered towards: 1.1. Culture In the past, the Chinese and most cultures consider the toilet "dirty". Thus, toilets are never found in the home. Much less so "open" and so full of glass. In fact, yesterday, just walking along the latest Executive Condo: The Quartz and saw many toilets literaly boxed in full glass even the exterior walls! In the past, toilets only have a single door and even there are openings, they are top rung small ventilation windows that's all. Thus things have changed. 1.2. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui; it is preferred that when we immediately enter into "something" e.g. main door we don't immediately see a toilet door or a toilet bowl. Thus, opening a bedroom door only to see the toilet door and things like toilet bowl etc... has more to do with this concept. However, this is a plus point in that the attached toilet door will never face the bedroom bed -anymore since it is facing antoher direction. BUT beware! if this is the case, avoid placing a bed next to the wall of the toilet - especially if the toilet bowl sewerage pipe is sharing the opposite wall. 1.3. Commonsense approach Having the glass piece of the toilet facing the bed is as common as a wardrope with glass doors that have some reflection. Or a plasma tv screen facing the door. Technically, it is still fine. Except that if you have one or two unfavourable comments eg. from relatives, friends that it looks inauspicious... then one starts to be feel concerned ...Otherwise, some of us can have mirrors or reflections all around our bed and we still sleep very well. But there are those who feel uncomfortable, most likely from personal "fear" or comments that it is unfavourable. Anonymous wrote: Hi 1) Is it ok tobuild a glass wall instead of the concretewallsuch that the master bed room / bed will have the view of the toilet. 2) With the glass wall, the toilet bowl will be facing the bed. Is that bad for feng Shui? If so, is there any cure? or can i place a bathtub at the glass wall so the toilet bowl will be block. 3) There is a huge full width mirror . It is at the height of the basin. I heard that having a mirror at the side of the bed is bad for feng Shui. Is this layout bad for fengshui? Any cure? 4) The back of the masterbed room door is facing the toilet door is that bad for feng shui? Thanks a million and looking forward to hearing from you.

A full Feng Shui audit is a holistic approach and covers something like:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Want_to_build_your_dream_home%3F It does not involve colours alone. And D.I.Y. (do it yourself) is not for the novice. You may want to consider Professional Feng Shui help.

1. Frankly, many or all the objects carried or to be carried are modern commercial products. These products should first and foremost be treated as mere decorative pieces. Much like the trinkets or items carried. 2. Even in traditional China, no one carries specific "tools" to ward off these issues. Frankly, it is all in the mind. As good as carrying a rabbit's foot. 3. Anyway, what you had mentioned dwell more into human factors - psychology, feeling good, security blanket type of stuff! Psuedo effect. Just like given a cup of water and a dummy drug made purely of sugar. 4. Perhaps, if you have the time and energy, go deeper into the study of proper Feng Shui and Feng Shui principles. 5. For example, each of us have our birthdate. Every home or office also has it's own birthdate (the date - it was built and constructed and when human activity starts from that site). 6. One of the most useful tools of Feng Shui is the Flying star chart. And specifically, sectors that may have #3 = scandals, conflicts, lawsuits and work related issues can easily be disarmed e.g. by "fire energy" such as a light at a strategic location etc.. This is one example of: one does not need to carry a "tool" which is not the precedence but diarming such bad issues can be done via the earth luck or Feng Shui of the home.

1. The good news is that such things as Pi Xie are modern commercial products. 2. The only purpose is to enrich the seller. Often, it is the same Feng Shui master that sells these products in the name of Feng Shui. 3. You can find out more of such commercial products under this URL:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Commercial_Products 4. In fact, the only real Feng Shui product has to be this special ring! http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=29&mid=23346&new= 5. These are purely modern commercial products and should be treated equally as what one does with interior decorative items. What happens when we broke a piece of an interior decorative item : Yes, just wrap it in a piece of news paper and throw it away in the dust bin. As these things does not have any magic in it.

Further to what I had mentioned:- 1. The Chinese culture of considering e.g. red as an auspicious colour; white usually associated with death... Has nothing to do with say in the name of "Feng Shui". 2. In addition, all the information provided under this link:- http://www.geomancy.net/info/ For example, all the procedures listed below has to do with Chinese culture and believes by various dialect groups: Cantonese, Hokkiens, Teochews etc.. House Related [ PDF ] - Getting Keys for the First Time / Initial Opening Door Rituals [ PDF ] - Move-In Rituals Wedding Related [ PDF ] - Modern & Traditional Wedding Procedure In my opinion, therefore, the thing especially about black covering, two white towels is based on Human factors (beliefs - good or inauspicious) and not Feng Shui. In addition, some people don't like others to tap on their shoulders when they are gambling. To them, it means that they are going to loose their luck. What has this and others to do with Feng Shui?

1. In my opinion, Feng Shui is about Earth luck. 2. Most of the "activities" dwell more with "Customs and Beliefs" than Feng Shui. 3. For example, digging a hole on the wall of the presidential suite and especially covering it with a black cloth has more to do with Chinese concerns that black and the white towels are generally inauspicious colours. 4. Therefore most of the "activities" are related to Human factor i.e. human culutural beliefs than Feng Shui. Perhaps only the "digging" of a hole - has to be examined in the context of whether it has "offended" Tai Sui or it could be the three killing sector or the #5 yellow - sector -this is not mentioned. 5. Thus, in my opinion, as Feng Shui is not a cure all, it is neither also a blame it all on - or in the name of "Feng Shui". Casanova W. wrote: There are some common feng shui taboos among Taiwanese gamblers, such as bringing a hair brush to a gambling table as "brush" is a homophone of "lose," the report said. 6. For example, what has the above got to do with Feng Shui? It is more of human factors - or considered inauspicious via culture. And not a "Feng Shui taboo". Many of the Feng Shui principles are both an Art & Science. Again the above is a belief. Believes are not Feng Shui.

1. In general, many people perceive a temple as a "depository". For example, it can be a depository of hope i.e. people go into the temple to pray or seek help from the gods... Agnes C. wrote: Dear Master,myhouse is located beside the temple then someone commented that my house fengshui is not good.....pls.master advise me 2. Frankly, it takes one or two comments by others be it friends, passer-by or family members to make us feel very uncomfortable. 3. Commonsense Feng Shui 3.1 Pollution It was reported recently that some Singaporeans developed lung cancer from frequently breathing in incense smoke, daily from praying to their gods e.g. Guan Yin etc... Thus, if the temple is full of smoke, and if the smoke frequently blows into one's home then it is a REAL health concern. 3.2 Clean or dirty temple Some temples may be unclean as some unscrupulous temple people dwell into things like mediums "Tang Ki" etc.. And especially for a Geomancer, carrying around our luo pan, may see activity e.g. the spinning of our luo pan compass. 3.3 Often, it is the feel good or feel bad factor that gives up the mood ...... Thus inauspicious comments by others.. may make us feel very uncomfortable living next to the temple that we don't feel happy. If our human luck factor is "down" then it comprises 33.3 percent of the holy trinity of Chinese Luck. The other two factors being Feng Shui and born with (Heaven Luck).

1. More importantly; it is good to spent time or have family activites especially located at a double #8 location. 2. It does not mean one has to purposely stand in the sun or that nature. But good to have human activites. 3. On a roof, thou, the water feature is not compulory, but it adds to the so called ambience of the home or the roof top area. Often, for practical reasons, each area in any location be a home etc.. has a certain structural load or threshold. Having a large water feature - means the per kilo newton loading of say a support should not be breeched. Especially if other things like water reservior is on the same area of a building. 4. Otherwise, the key success is more about having activities in a double #8 sector - provided if it is feasible to do so. We don't want to see a family at night all tanned and when the family smiles, some people "literally" gets a shock! Ebony and Ivory!

1. Usually, for those who own a landed property, should activate a water position on the ground floor. 2. At the attic, unless it is "sheltered" or some form of acitivity upstars e.g. a nice garden, outdoor "coffee area". Otherwise, if it is on it's own and fully "unsheltered" not the best.

1. If you are asking about whether this home is at a 'T' Junction - the answer is No. 2. A home at a T junction is where physically cars or vehicles move towards (and away) from the home. This is technically no a 'T' Junction home as it is separated by a big drain.

1. Usually it is difficult to guage what kind of problem or issue as it also depends on the height of the pyramids, whether it is a full pyramid or simply it looks like a partial pyramid like Conrad in Singapore. And the distance to it and/or is any of the sharp points pointed towards your office window. 2.One can apply the concept: "If it cannot be seen it no longer can become a threat. " If so, often most or all offices uses some kind of a blind - close the blind as a possible "solution" to the "problem" if any.

1. For those who do not know what Pian Cai is; it refers to a person's hidden wealth. It range from "lottery luck, bonus and promotion, luck". 2. For this sample Male, his next best Pian Cai luck is in 2011, 2016, 2026 etc... 3. In this example, this person should better work for others instead of going into his/her own business. 4. As usually those who work for others have higher category of numbers under the highlighed "Yellow" fields:- His Zheng Cai (Earned wealth)= 4 Zheng Guan (Authority) = 4 Zheng Yin (Main Funds) = 5 5. This person is less suited to doing his /her own business. As a business person often have higher ratings or numbers under the "PINK" fields.

But i try searching the whole web, i just cant find it. also can i ask, for job scope related to design and medias are belonging to which element?

1. Some use ba zi to check whether a period is good for them i.e. financial gain or loss or be careful of purchasing of a home. 2. Others look at auspicious dates for negotiations. 3. There are others that feel that the Feng Shui is good before buying a home. 4. Many of us have our motive for purchasing a home and other factors include ability to obtain loan, bank evaluation of the home etc.... Overall, discuss with your immediate family and always bring along the whole family to view a home.

1. For novice, suggest that you get a competent Feng Shui practitioner to review your home. As what you are asking even the first question is focused on your children's personal ba zi elements and other considerations like Flying Star numbers etc.. 2. If you have working knowledge, then, you may consider DIY. Otherwise, it may be an uphill task to do-it-on your own. Anonymous wrote: What is the good color wall for kids study room ? Bedroom ?

1.As a strong fire person; your good elements are: earth, metal and water. 2. Your wealth element is metal. This type of career is suppose to lead to greater wealth. 3. Your power and authority is water. Thus a career associated with water is considered favourable for you. Can reach higher position of authority.

For Chinese, ROM is just a formality (in the eyes of the law) and I believe, still today, many older folks still feel that only after one has gone thru the traditional Chinese customary wedding especially where there must be a tea ceremony can then; be considered as truly "being married".

1. In my opinion; based on your pictures, the two cars are parked parallel to the frontage. Frankly, I don't see a real T junction. 2. A house facing a real T junction is one where the road directly faces, say your unit. Here, it does not seem to be so. 3. The major consideration usually is the flow of the water in the river from either left to right or right to left of your apartment. But this has to be looked at from further investigations. 4. Thus, from your pictures, your home, does not seem to be a threat from "facing a T junction". 5. It is more of a commonsense - that some people say that it is no good to place a wedding photo behind the bed. There reasons could be:- 5.1 Imagine if the wedding photo is large and heavy. And often when we have a child, the young child loves to stand up and grap anything even try to grap the photo. And if it falls on the child.. dangerous 5.2 Some wedding photos have a piece of glass covering it. And again, it may be dangerous. Or the glass is like a reflection. Some people feel uncomfortable with reflection facing their bed. 6. At lower floors e.g. 1st floor or 2nd floor, many don't like to place a wedding photo, also close to window "openings". As passer-bys can easily peek at the photo.
