It is always good to "visualise" roughly where - if possible the closest point to or the exact location of the "centre of gravity" of a home. If one is totally not sure, then, try to paste a copy of the layout plan on a cardboard. Then cut-out the outline of the entire layout plan. Then try to balance the entire layout plan onto a piece of nail. (If one can visualise, your original centrepoint in my opinion, will most likely not be balanced on a pin or nail point. Quote: Anonymous wrote: Thank for your prompt reply. Based on your suggestion, you have ignored the contributing factor of the BEDROOM 3 into the determination of the centerpoint. May i know when we should include protrusions and when they should be included in our centrepoint determination? Thank for your advice .

Yes it is possible to use water in a sector with water star #8 and base #5. Quote: Anonymous wrote: my house is a period 7 house with SE1 facing. This year, the east sector has 1m 8w trigram no is 5 with annual 8 My question is would it be appropiate to put a table top rolling ball water feature to activate the water star 8 despite having base 5 in this sector? Thanks!

1. Definitely, one has to use the most accurate birth date or our "real birthdate". Frankly, after so many years, in this line, I have yet to come across, such an (obvious) question. 2. Frankly, this is very common; especially in the past: Singapore, Malaysia and many other countries. Many elderly said that they were born on such and such a date. But, as they live in rural area, their birth was registered e.g. at a police post a few days or even months. Quote: Katrina L. wrote: According to my mom, her real birthdate is January 11, 1939 BUT her birth certificate was burned along with other birth certificates in the city hall of her province. When she applied for a new one - she applied for it when she was a teenager; she put 1940 as her birth year. So since then, her new birth certificate states january 11, 1940. In fact, all important documents from passport to bank certificates etc. state her "new" birth date as january 11, 1940. My question is, for purpose of feng shui and computation, shall I use her real birthyear which 1939 OR shall I use her new birthyear which she has been using for several decades now - which is 1940

1. Attached, please see the proposed centrepoint. Which I believe would be "closer" to the centre of gravity of the home. Highlighted in Yellow are considered protrusions. 2. Yes, one way is to close the main entrance door when not in use or close some of the window planes. However, if or should the main door have excellent qi such as double #8's then, sometimes, it would be good to let qi come in thru the main entrance area. Again, this depends on the type of flying star numbers at either the main door or directly opposite window(s).

Traditionally, this "clash" does not affect one's wealth. Especially if both neighbour's and your main entrance does not face each other directly. It may be considered to affect relationship with the "neighbour". Thus, if your company does not have any direct dealings with the opposite neighbour, then, no major issue.

I know that gates facing each other is not very lucky, what do we do? Should we put a wall instead? But if we do put a wall, then we would have no garage. Help.

No, as it is covered up. The test is usually, from inside the compound of the home, can one see the drainage. For all landed properties, often, there are two exit points that "will bring wealth" depending on whether water flows to the left or right of the house. And often, a third exit point can bring "power and authority" to the home owner. If not sure, try to seek expert help from a Feng Shui professional.

No, the amount of renovation done may not be considered as being flown to Period 8. Katrina L. wrote: Cecil, This year: 1.we changed some part of the roof since the roof is old and we have been experiencing leaks from the rain. 2. changed the kitchen floor tiles and painted a new color on the walls of the kitchen 3. painted new color on the walls of the master's bedroom which we now turned into gym room 4. painted new color on the walls of the living and dining rooms. So, would you consider our house newly renovated and now under period 8? Or is our house still under period 6? Please advice. Thanks!

Frankly, if you are so interested especially in Flying Star numbers, please go and take up a course on it. Katrina L. wrote: Cecil, What does each base star number represent? I only know that base star number 1 represents water. How about the other base star numbers? What is the significance of each base star? How does it affect each sector of the house? Is it less important than the mountain star number and water star number? I know these are a lot of Qs again. Hope you can further explain to me. Thanks much.

1. Planting an orange or lemon tree has more to do with modern western "practises" than traditional Feng Shui. 2. In addition, especially during the communist take-over of China, many Chinese fled to either Hong Kong, Taiwan, or Far East. 3. In the far east, especially in Singapore and Malaysia, the climate is too warm to support both orange and lemon trees. 4. You mentioned:".... it said something about husband will have a roving eye when you placewater feature on the right side (your inside looking outside)." I believe if you do a SEARCH in this forum, you can find lots of articles or past forum message(s) on this topic and/or check out some of the "preventive" measure(s) available. For info, some of such messages are as recent as late last year to this year! Quote: hi, i read from a book that if you want to activate your wealth luck, you could plant an orange or lemon tree in the front of your house. would like to find out if this is true. also, in the same book, i would like to find out if the placement of a fountain outside the main door important?it said something about husband will have a roving eye when you placewater feature on the right side (your inside looking outside). just want to make sure i placemy fountain correctly. best wishes!

1. It is good to hear u have an airconditioner with the ion cluster (often the settings include "shooting out" all negative ions, or " a blast of positive plus negative ions). 2. Try to go for the modern method. However, if one is concerned with aircon bills, then there are relatively good "air-cleaners". No point having an aircon, with such a feature and if the aircon is rarely use. 3. Imagine, how wonderful it would be like if one can stay near the vicinity of a water-fall such as Nigara falls or Victoria falls. (Not so much of people jumping down them to commit suicide; but rather) the idea of a waterfall is that such "furious" water frictions with the air to create negative ions. And such negative ions, are charged to attract the "bad" positive ions. And for those who have visited a water fall can relatively feel the coolness and in particular the nice smell. 4. Thus, having a air cleaner that dispenses negative ion is the next best thing. 5. All the past messages that you had digged up are really "old symbolic" concepts. Why dwell with the past, "low tech solution" when there are better ones evolving - that are scientific and proven vs.. old sentimental ones... 6. For example, we have using the computing power of servers to generate complexed ba zi ... rather than spent the "stupid " time working them out.. But yet not even close to begin to analyse them! 7. I appeal to you not to drag up all - old and very old stuffs... If you read in-between the "lines" messages in the early 2000's technologies such as hepa cleaners etc... have already being emphasised more and more. And don't waste time buying "rubbish" fake commercial "in-the-name" of Feng Shui products.. inclusive those ridicious "Feng Shui jewellry " and "god given products... "

Please refer to my most recent reply to your last message. In modern times, with our knowlege of what positive and negative ions can and cannot do. And with the common use of silver nano technology - found in some high end washing machines and even can be found embedded into plastic containers... ain't these a better bet than relying on "older" Feng Shui cures? Katrina L. wrote: Hello Cecil, I am wondering if we can use the salt cure to suppress the #2 illness and #5 yellow star? Thanks.

1. The most common method today to supress #2 is as mentioned, below Para 1. 2. For #5 or if that sector has a #5 with #9 with/or #2 or any two or more of these combinations, Para 1. may not be sufficient. 3. Nowadays, hepa cleaners e.g. those quality ones by Honeywell or Sharp with their plasma ion cleaners are even better security against #2 ; #5 respectively. At the time of writing (those donkey years ago as far back as 1999 or earlier, such sophisticated cleaners are often meant only for hospitals or clinics costing as much as $988 dollars. Nowadays, many of these "cleaners" are reasonably priced and even come as part of or built into air-conditioners. 4. Thus it is more worthwhile to invest in these "scientific proven" units than many past practises. 5. As mentioned in several past messages, if one's bedroom is directly above the kitchen or garage, it is better to invest in smoke detectors than hanging say a set of coins. The detector, can safe life as it's siren can hopefully wake one up. While a set of coins, can only melt together with the entire family or person in that specific room. 6. Thus, with the event of better and cheaper "proven" technology, we should try to engulf or use them instead of the old traditional "symbolic" methods. Feng Shui also has to change with times! Quote: Katrina L. wrote: Hello Cecil, I've been reading the really old threads and you mentioned that one cure for the sickness star and five yellow star is: 1. place 6 ancient Chinese coins tied with a red string on the wall on that sector. 2. a `simple' 6 coins arranged in two rows x 3 coins is scotched tape onto a red envelope and placed on the curtain (mid-point of the window. http://www.geomancy.net/resources/slideshow/ss-6coins.htm So any of these two ways of arranging the 6 coins will suppress the illness star and five yellow star? Please advice.

Yes, definitely, as you have already noted, the significance of each #number is different under Period 8. Quote: However, in the past 5 years, I've been sickly. I wonder if this has to do with period 8 which started in 2004 and will end in 2024.

You can still use the proposed centrepoint and extend this to the family room.The rationale is because your "extended" room is tiny compared to larger spaces. However, if your "extended" room size is larger than 1,000 sq feet, then you can determine the centrepoint separately for this room.

Further to what I had mentioned, in a case of a middle house or even shop-house, but if this middle shop-house is facing a T junction, then it will be affected by bad qi. Please see picture, under the url below:- http://www.geomancy.net/events/ExxonMobil_FS_Talk/em_talk_1_slide_21.htm

1. Please refer to the example, below:- http://www.geomancy.net/events/ExxonMobil_FS_Talk/em_talk_1_slide_34.htm 2. It does not matter if the house is in the middle or at the side (or end). What matters is the shape and forms of the entire development. 3. In the above example, the corner unit home is entrapped by a higher "hills". Such a house can come to no good. 4. The bungalow house, at the lower, benefits from the entire terrace house due to the slope. Thus here, everyone in the entire row, may have their wealth drained towards the bungalow, house. 5. Thus the morale of the story is that there is no hard and fast rule as to what you had mentioned. 6. In fact, some of the principles of Shapes and Forms, has described the way a set of three homes on a plot of land in different configuration and the consequences on one or three of the units. Some consequences leads to "death" of the breadwinner. Some of these info, I remembered posting as far back in this forum as 1998. In one of these forum messages, I had cited a home sandwiched by two other homes at different levels. And a user, here also claimed that death had occured in such a home... 7. However, usually if all three homes are on the same level, same row and same height, have to look at qi in front of and the back of each plot for a valid assessment of concerns if any. Usual concerns include, T junctions, lamp posts, street signages - slicing the main door/gate or windows etc... etc... Quote: Anonymous wrote: I just heard from a neighbour that it not good feng shui for a middle house as it bears the burden. For terrace houses in a particular street, is it refering to the middle house of that particular road, even though there are lanes between the blocks? or is it refering to the house in the middle of each block?

1. Frankly if the sector only has a lone #2 not withstanding other stars which may already reduce it such as #6 etc... 2. #2 can be neutralised easily with one or two items. No need to overkill with so many "metallic" objects, there. 3. In case I forgot, to neutralise a sector especially with just one #5 (again not looking at the other two variables : Water / Mountain or even Base star) a modern analog "metallic" look clock can help to neutralise it say on the wall.

1. Please attachment to determine the actual centre of the home. This centrepoint corresponds also to the 2nd storey. 2. Although a proper assessment should be made to determine whether the water fountain is acceptable. However, under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, this water feature at the frontage of the main entrance is considered auspicious as it creates a "BRIGHT HALL" or "Ming Tang" at the frontage. 3. Such a "clear space" or bright hall is particularly good for qi to congregate at the frontage of the home. Thus from a Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, it is considered very good. Good homes always have some clear space at the frontage to "collect" qi. Quote: My questions are as follows: 1. Due to the unique floorplan, the extension of the garage, master bathroom, and the courtyard, I am not quite sure how I can determine the actual center of the home. 2. Also, there is a large decorative water fountain directly in front of the main door in the courtyard. I've denoted this on the floor plan as a grey circle. Is this bad feng shui?

1. Frankly, #2 is a lesser problem than #5. BUT still would try to avoid Yellow or Red. 2. Since you mentioned that it is costly to change the Yellow, then it is best to remove the RED painting. 3. To redress the imbalance caused by having the Yellow, then, try to see if you have any painting that has "metal" colours in it e.g. a bronze piece or painting with "gold" or silver colours within it - in addition with blue, or black or grey added would be good.

1. Please note that there are two types of sickness star(s): #5 misfortune/sickness while #2 = sickness. 2. Sometimes, it may be further fuelled by an additional #5 or #2 or even fuelled further by #9 fire (fire inflames #2 and/or #5). 3. If this part of the home is NOT a bedroom; for example if this part of the home is an area such as the living room or patio or dining area or open space (excluding study) then "moving metal" is the most effective (in general) to cure #5. 4. In this sector, if possible try to avoid: BRIGHT YELLOW colour. Or worse still if the sector has #2 with #5 and or #9 then avoid both BRIGHT YELLOW and BRIGHT RED at the same time.

Thanks for the help!

Further to what I had mentioned earlier, you should do a SEARCH under this forum, amd you should be able to find this latest set of correspondence under the conference: FENG SHUI TIPS & GUIDELINES with this set of threads: Number Of Steps On Staircase ( 1 File) by: Anonymous Aka Mary Anne Macaraig (myfs_133973, Maryanne@pldtdsl.net

1. Robert had posted the final results of the combined steps. 2. Please refer to the most recent reply to you, where I had attached the full "picture" of the count. Please take note of it.

1. Appreciate, if can do a SEARCH under this forum for "steps". 2. As one forum member had posted a query and I have clearly posted some illustrations to her forum thread messages. 3. I believe the info should be clear enough.

1. OIC, it is a copper bowl (either medium or large). 2. Usually in general favourable dates to Chinese are either 15th day of each lunar month or 1st day of each lunar month if you do want to consider "activating" it. 3. Alternatively, you can check out your personal good dates for the next thirty days for free at the following URL:- dates.geomancy.net

1. In general, it is best to get a unit furthest away from the MRT line especially for units between 3rd to 6th storey. As the MRT train noise may penetrate thru some of the walls of apartments. (Noise pollution). 2. Usually in all developments, there are often good units and not so good units.
