Dear Larry, There are two ways to go about under Feng Shui: 1. By personal feel In general, if you and your family members have "positive" feel about it, I think it is good enough to place these lamps at specific locations. 2. By Flying Star Feng Shui Under Flying Star Feng Shui, in particular; sectors that for example have good "mountain" sectors or sectors that need "fire" would be suitable locations for the lamps that are lighted 24 hours. As light from the lamps represent the fire element. And any sector that lacks fire element can have such a lamp introduced to that location. While the salt lamps is considered as mountain objects and can be used at locations where there is say a mountain #8 at that sector. (Not withstanding other star numbers in that sector need to be further analysed). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Becky, To be honest, if you are referring to the "House-number" report, it is meant more for high-rise apartments. This house number report is based on "Vertical-flying" Star Feng Shui. As the term "vertical" suggests, it has to do with buildings or apartments on different floors. This method is very popular especially in Hong Kong with high density of population living in flats or condominiums. And it is said that a high rise that is on the 6th floor or storey would differ in qi with another same unit on the lower or even upper floors. Thus, if yours is a landed property, this "House-number" report should not be used. But rather, one should, if one knows how to construct a Flying Star Feng Shui chart do a "Horizontal" Flying Star or what is commonly known as the 20 Year Flying Star chart. For landed property, many Chinese especially the Cantonese dialect group does not like house number(s) with number 4, or multiples of 4 such as No. 44, or No. 444 as it symbolies "death" in the Cantonese dialect. Thus for landed property, house numbers would rather be associated with numerlogy than Feng Shui. And numerology is so wide and with so many differing interpretations. Frankly, it is anyone's guess, here. As some people e.g. find 13 inauspicious, but some find it OK. Since Feng Shui is NOT Numerology, one must strictly separate the two as distinct. Furthermore, there are so many types of numerology, some based on Indian, Chinese, Western and much more .... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Usually, or ideally or nice-to-have, often, if possible we try to avoid having the stove facing the bathroom door. Especially directly facing the toilet bowl. 2. In commonsense Feng Shui, whenever we flush the toilet bowl, the water spray or minute droplets would spray out in all directions and may "spray" onto the stove location. Thus, it would be a good idea to close the toilet door when not in use. Quote: The stove faces the bathroom and I kept the bathroom door close most of the time. There is kitchen top gap between the stove and the sink. I hardly cooks other than occasionally instant noodles. I uses an electric kettle to boil water.

Dear Anon, 1. Exposed water pipe: Depending on where it is, it can be inauspicious especially if the boss, sits down and immediately can see the "exposed" water pipe. This is symbolic of "wealth" draining out... 2. The best position for the boss is usually based on the Eight House concept or Ba Cai Feng Shui; where in the example, below:- Example of a Male born on 28 May 1962:- Your 4 Good and 4 Bad Direction North-West (Metal) Longevity North (Water) Death North-East (Earth) Prosperity West (Metal) Health East (Wood) Disaster South-West (Earth) Excellent South (Fire) Irritation South-East (Wood) Spook Your BEST sleeping position Between: North-West (292.5 to 337.4) = Longevity West (247.5 to 292.4) = Health Your BEST Working position Between: North-East (22.5 to 67.4) = Prosperity South-West (202.5 to 247.4) = Excellent For this person, ideally, or nice to have him seating facing NE or SW in his office. However, we also need to look at whether the office room or where his office door is in relation to whether, can he sit in any of these good directions. If these two directions may not be achievable to seat at; then may consider trying to seat facing NW or West. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, To be honest, like you mentioned, joing the NPCC is only a CCA and not a permanent job or something like that. He the key thing is that he is a student and CCA comes second. Thus, in my opinion, really not a big concern. Look at it this way, when it is time to do national service; many of us do not have any control as to which uniform group we would be posted to: Navy, Airforce or Army. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: My son who is in Secondary 1 this year belongs to the Weak Water element and he has chosen NPCC, i.e. the Police Cadet, as his co-curricular activity (CCA).

Dear Elizabeth, Thanks for the sketch. Based on your description, below, if your bed is a single bed, it looks OK to have the bed between bedroom door and closet door. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: One of my best directions to sleep in is South or South - East. If I move my bed to that direction, is it ok if the bed is between the bedroom's door and the bedroom's closet door and a window?

Dear Anon, I believe many of us really sympathise with you on your situation. However, I sincerely belief, Feng Shui has no answer to this. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please refer to the following link:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/fortunes-2008.htm Take note the following sectors:- Sickness Star this year is at North-West Misfortune/Sickness Star this year is at South Disputes/Quarrel Star this year is at West Education/Romance Star this year is at North-East Grand Duke this year is North, 0 Degree. - Avoid sitting facing the grand duke or disturbing him by having renovations. Location in Conflict is South. - Avoid having renovations done opposite the location in conflict. For 2008, avoid both North and South as mentioned, above. This year 5 yellow also happens to be at South. Thus, especially for North and South, avoid renovations at this two locations. Quote: Anonymous wrote: 3.

Dear Amelia, Sorry, not sure what you meant that you should have your dining table at the centrepoint of the home. A dining table need not necessarily be or (must or even nice to have) located at the centrepoint of the home. In many homes: for the living/dining room area: we first need to locate the actual location of the living room. After doing so, the next area to allocate is the dining table.Again, it may not be atthe centrepoint of the home. In Commonsense Approach to Feng Shui,the toilet: Whenever we flush the toilet bowl,minutewater droplets or sprays will fly all over the place. (Usually it containssome germs). Thusif we have the toilet doordirectly facing thedining table, we try not to enrich our food with such"unseen" minute water droplets from the toilet. If one intends to place the dining table next to the toilet door, the best approach is to close the toilet door when not in use. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Amelia, Gua [Kua] numbers (or commonly known as Eight House or Ba Cai Feng Shui belongs to the Compass School of Feng Shui.

Dear Elizabeth, Is it possible for you to draw a simple sketch of the proposed layout of the bedroom. In terms of Feng Shui, it is best not to sleep with one's legs facing the bedroom door. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jacquie, Please see attachment. Not sure, if you have explored this possibility. Frankly, have not checked to see if it faces NE or not. Warmest Regards, Cecil

The most popular method is to check with the individual which is their "writing" hand. Majority are either right or left handed. But there are some who when young writes with their left hand but were "forced" to use their right hand. For these people, should or may consider their left hand instead. The rationale is that if we are right handed, this is most likely the hand that will reveal our characteristics, health etc.. While the left hand will be the hand that "shows our desires, wishes... etc.." Since your EX has a deep line, and several small ones... most likely his involvement with you was "deep". However, the lines often change (especially) add on.. in a few years as these lines don't always remain the same.

Dear Karen, The kindergarten method is to place a crystal at the SW = romance corner (of a room or house). Sometimes, by coincidence this matches the "romance" sector of the home. Under Flying Star Feng Shui, in general, and specifically the 20 Year Flying Star Feng Shui:- MS # WS # Base # If you seek help from a Feng Shui practitioner, most likely the practitioner will advise to activate MS # especially if is #8 or #9 Where MS#8 = networking, relationship luck. The above example is very general but give an idea as a proper Flying Star analysis of a given sector includes looking at all the relationships of MS# with WS# with base #. Here, there is a higher change of getting romance, by applying the 20 Year Flying Star Feng Shui, vs trial and error or kindergarten Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Welcome to the forum! To be honest, crystals are modern invention. For us Chinese, just imagine a generation earlier or a few generations, back! There is no such thing as crystals! In general, man made crystals only appear in my opinion, in recent times (may be 30 years or later). Under the Holy Trinity of Luck:- a. Heaven Luck - Is based on when we are born and our luck or our destiny from that day b. Earth Luck - Feng Shui of a home or office c. Human Luck - In the past, human luck does not really costs any monetary value. But, with so many people, using our feelings to get us to buy products in the "name-of-Feng Shui". Usually most products are cheap to produce and have very high mark-up! So guess who earns most of our hard earned money. Thus, if one wants to purchase a crystal, do it, for the "feel good" or for some decorating a dull room for example. But logically, if your room is already dark, I cannot imagine how a normal crystal can suddenly turn into a glowing crystal or reflect light unless there is either a natural source of light or artificial ones that concentrates light into the crystal to bring all sorts of rainbow colours. Truly, if you feel great about, it will boost the human factor and enhance your room. I believe another alternative is to use flouresent lighting which nowadays, can brightly light up a dark room. Thus, in conclusion, buy a crystal if you like it but not for the sake of Feng Shui. As these are commercial products, that's it. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: Hello!

I will only clarify a few points. As this is not what the purpose of the forum is about. 1. For a Strong wood person, the existing green logo on it's own is considered not suitable for a Strong Wood person. 2. However, a squarish logo represents Earth element. And under the Productive Cycle of the Five Elements concept: Earth supports or help Metal (in particular weak metal grow) 3. In addition, for a Strong Wood person, I don't see what's wrong with using a squarish logo. As Square logo represents Earth. And imagine a strong tree with strong roots; which digs into the earth to get nurishment. 4. Orange under Chinese culture belongs to the metal element. As the phonetic sound-like "gold". For example, Cantonese dialect group call mandarin or an orange " Kum " and in addtion the Hokkien dialect group call it "Kim" which in Hokkien is gold. Thus, soon, when the Chinese New Year comes, many youngsters would visit elderly relatives or their parents home by bringing a pair of "kum" or "kim". Two or a pair is considered auspicious and orange since it is considered as gold - should be considered as belonging to the metal element. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Shaunna, To be honest, thanks for effort to try to describe the landform. As you had wrote somewhere, below ".. I can't really figure out...

Dear Anon, Most likely, your friend or friend's family don't have any elderly in need of aid such as wheelchair bound or walking stick! In addition, some elderly or even those who may have some illness such as diabetes that may need to go toilet often. Tell them to "enjoy" walking up and down the home. In addition, for us Chinese, we do cook alot : lots of wet ingredients. Tell it to us, to first bring up our marketing items.. hopefully prawns don't leak it's contents on the walkway etc... Later, need to dispose of it. Don't get me wrong, I like the "idea". But. as especially for the Chinese, many of us live with our parents, especially to look after them. Not to "torture" them! Thus, perhaps, for some cultures, where no elderly stays with them (or even babies that one day will crawl - between 1, 2 to 3 years old). From another point of view, it is good ifone does not intend to have the elderly interect in the living room.They will be much confined to their four walls!Is this good? Let's imagine!

Dear Lip Seong, 1. Sorry to learn about your situation. 2. Your landed property seems to be a terrace "type of home" where qi enters from either North "backyard" area or South "frontage". 3. In general, based on my quick look at your layout plan:- As qi comes into your home from either North or South, unfortunately, under current Period 8, this North sector or the back of your home is influenced by :- MS #7 with WS #7 and Base = #3 In general, Flying star is based on qi flow and unfortunately, there are double #7 which under this current period is "theft-loss of wealth" sector influenced by bad #3 = career / romance / issues 4. Thus, to "plug this leak" coming from the back, try to use constant metal e.g 6 hollow rod windchime at the back yard of the home. This constant metal will help to neutralise the bad double #7 with bad #3. 4. Usually even with a Period 7, home, one can still benefit with water position at SW sector (which is the indirect -wealth luck - water wealth location) But have to control "roving eyes" issue, here. 5. Even if you have the stove moved away from the NW = Fire at heaven's gate, try to check that under this Sector in particular avoid placing items such as conventional ovens or toasters at this sector. As this NW under the ba gua is the Heaven's tigram and NW = head of the house. 6. In particular, you also have I belive extremely bad MS#5 with WS#9 and Base #5 at the East or the staircase landing area. If possible try to use another constant metal e.g 6 hollow rod windchime or a chiming clock close that area. 7. Other common problems include, where the drainage exits from your property towards outside drainage. These are some of my initial observations.

Dear Keith, In my opinion, it "the bedroom above a garage" may not necessarily be the main cause of the problem. The rationale is that not looking at other diagnostic tools such asthe use of Flying Star Feng Shui etc... there are existing owners who do have a bedroom or even a master bedroom above a garage. Usually, the main reason why it is considered inauspicious has to do more with "Commonsense Approach" to Feng Shui. For example, the main rationale, in addition to what you had mentioned, some people use another reasoning or both: what you had mentioned and also that in (the unlikely) event that the car at the porch catches fire, and the bedroom is directly above it. Thus, some feel that because of this rationale, it is inauspicious to have a car parked just below our bedroom. (Fire travels upwards). Personally, I feel there may be more issues, then the eye can see! Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Keith Bailey wrote: Help!

Dear Anon, Frankly, if you DIY one should preferably look at what are the combination of stars in each of the sectors even if the sector has #5:- For example, logically before jumping into conclusions, we need to really find out what is the current 20 Year Flying Star in a specific sector:- E.g. If South sector has #1 with #6 and base #8 . And if #5 fly's in no issue, here. For one, there is #6 = big metal etc... Sensibly just monitor the situation, first. I believe, this forum already has mentioned several types of cures relating to star #5. In terms of colours, try to avoid: BRIGHT YELLOW and if the room has a combination of #5 (earth = bad yellow) fuelled by #9 (fire = red). IF #9 and #5 appears in that sector, then also try to avoid: BRIGHT RED items or colours in that bedroom. P.S. Please - don't post your star numbers, here.

Dear Sophia, 1. To be honest, there are many "holes" in your questions. Or there are really limited information to providea good answer. 2a. This is because, in real life, when we provide professional advise, we have to analyse a home based not only only Shapes and Forms of the home, even where the drainage exits from a home. 2b. To other factors, like what Flying Star Period and even the direction of your home. Thus to give you a simple example, if one is staying in a Period 7, Flying Star; North-West home; the current water wealth star #8 is at the centrepoint of the home. And usually such a home has already "SMALL LUCK". 3. Even if one's Eight House prosperity sector is not in the toilet, but in a bedroom, already based on Para 2b, the home already have "SMALL LUCK". 4. Again, this reminds me of a recent sad case in the Singapore newspaper! Where the maid, accidently knocked (quite hard) a baby against the toilet bowl while bathing the baby! Later on.. I think the grand parent felt something wrong with the child.. sent the child to a hospital. Most likely the maid, too scared to say out.. may or may not have saved the child -- may be if they are aware of head injury.. the child could have been saved? 5. Thus, many of us, in real life.. read too many Feng Shui books or too many sites telling us to buy this product and that product!. (The people who benefit) are the sellers! And the silly fools just buy and buy the products.. the idea is "Fix the leak, first!" No point in pathing the home with gold and there is a leak somewhere in the home!

Dear Aloysius, 1. In practise, taking a que from Management Principles: for those who had study or read management principles; just note the key word: 2. "Situational Approach" So what is this "situational approach?" : It simply means "Most of the time, no two situations are the same". 3. Look at it from another point of view (via Logic): "There is no RIGHT or WRONG answers"! 4. Flying Star Feng Shui comes in two forms:- "Horizontal Flying Star" and "Vertical Flying Star"! 4a. What is horizontal Flying star Feng Shui (or chart)? This is the common Flying Star chart where we either draw a pie or a grid method. 4b. What is vertical Flying star chart? This is more recent. And for those using this website's free Apartment or unit number input to check how auspicious your apartment is, then you have already used or tried out it out. Thus, what it implies is that even in a block of flat or apartment, qi is considered different at different floors or storeys. Thus, say an address: Block 56, unit #05-66 is said to have different qi from another unit in this same block. Thus unit #6-66 may have different qi although they are at the same block. 5. In the past, it is more common for a Feng Shui practitioner to evaluate bigger plot of land and if so, in general, a pie chart is the best choice in most circumstances, here. 5.1 Just think about it. Why call it "horizontal Flying star?"; thus the clue here is the larger the piece of land, the most convenient method to analyse MACRO Feng Shui is to use a pie chart. 5.2 Situational Approach If your unit is generally squarish in shape then, logically, a grid is easier ot use or analyse. And some Feng Shui books, prefer to drawgrids, as it is one of the easiest way to produce anddisemminate information! 6. In general, many of the Traditional Feng Shui practitioners use the pie chart. Again, logically, for drafting andproducing reports for our clients, a pie chartfits nearly all types of units orlanded homes or apartments. Here, one good thing about the pie is that we can immediatelyafter determining the centrepoint of the home or "center of gravity" and thenplace the entire layout. 7. Thus, as you can see in a REAL world environment where, for me, I have to work on lots of layout plans every day, it makes sense for me to use the pie. 8. Don'tget me wrong, here, Inever say grid is no good!Again, I emphasise that the few Traditional FS practitioners who do make an effort to give clients report after report, usually use the pie. For the above reason. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Aloysius Chia wrote: I would like to know in reading Flying Star Chart what method would be most accurate or rather easy to understanding as in 9 grid chart or the pie chart.

Dear Benny, 1. It is best to seek professional Feng Shui advice especially if one wants to utilise Feng Shui. 2. On a self-help basis: Usually, if possible, knowing whether one is an East or West Group can help. 3. Besides this, since the piece of land is from east to west, try to position critical areas such as bedrooms, living rooms or critical walls in any of such rooms within the "afternoon sun" or west. Imagine, working or sleeping in a west room .. especially even after 7pm if the wall of a bedroom faces the afternoon sun. It will literally soak in the heat! And subsequently release from the wall. Thus turning on a fan does not help. Unless one turns on aircon to cool down the place. 4. Often, in general, many people prefer a North-South home because only radiated light comes into the home. And such homes especially if bedrooms, living rooms are properly away from the influence of the morning sun and afternoon sun. 5. Thus for a east-west facing home, if we are not careful, in the morning, direct sunlight may come in and in the afternoon we face the dreaded afternoon sun! 6. For darker skinned persons, morning to afternoon sun although may be a concerned if exposed too much but for fair skinned persons, just imagine, your bedroom window is directly facing say the afternoon sun! For children, if we place their study table against the window, here, sometimes, even if we do use darker curtains, UV or ultra-violet light would still shine in! Some tinted windows even have zero UV protection! If the child is exposed too long to UV light.. one day.. we may see the child getting "darker.. and darker" i.e. suntan... ! Just carry on imagine.. more.. I d'ont need to further elaborate, further. 7. In addition, for a landed property, under the water dragon classics, a good Feng Shui practitioner can advise you where to "exit" the drainage for the home to maximise good Feng Shui qi! For example, usually every Feng Shui facing direction has three good qi sectors: 1. Great Wealth location 2. Great Power and authority 3. General overall luck and wealth Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: I have a piece of land 700m2 (18meters north to south and 39 meters east to west) in the middle of the ricefield in Bali.
