Dear Anon, For this year, if possible (not just the 7th month) avoid painting at North-West sector or the Gand Duke of Jupiter's location. For example, he does not like people to touch (e.g. avoid painting) or disturb him (e.g. avoid drilling or renovations) at this sector. If possible, also avoid painting at West or the yearly #5 sector for this year. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: I am thinking of re-painting the whole house. Is there any constraints like 7th month cannot do painting? Can we paint the ceiling for the tasui room for this year? Will re-painting our house give us luck? Thanks in advance for your answer.

Dear Norhaidah, Usually, for us, we look at two critical areas under the Ba Zi report:- 1. Attachment file: Illustration-1.pdf Under this sample person: Male born on 7 Oct 1973 at 1pm to 2.59pm, shows an indication that his "Big luck" is against him during this period 2004 to 2013 (Age 31 to 40). For yearly and six monthly luck one can the file: Illustration-2.pdf 2.

For a salaried worker, usually we look at: 1. Earned Wealth = 3 2. Main Funds = 2 while his 4. Unexpected wealth = 0 5. Unexpected funds = 0 6. Determination = 1 7. Competitor = 2 Note: a. Authority = 6 (Equally applies to both a salaried worker and business person. While determination and competitor although applies to both a salaried worker and business person but these traits are better for a business person). b. The higher the number, the higher the "traits" or "luck". In the above example, this person is considered better off, as a salaried worker given that he has higher numbers for earned wealth and main funds as opposed to weak numbers for a business trait. His only largest number is 2 for "competitor" while the rest are either zero or 1. Each of us is said to have "suitable careers" and since this sample person is considered as a Strong Fire person, his career related with wealth is associated with Metal element. While his career related with power and authroity is associated with water career. As you are considered as a strong earth person, water career is suppose to be your career with wealth. While wood career is your power and authority. Most likely, you may not have a business person's chart (not seen your chart) but rather perhaps, more as a salaried person? If so, if this is a good luck period for you then water career or wood career are favourable. BTW (by the way) many MLM's is banned or illegal in Singapore.

Dear Anon, Most of the time, our office orientation (sitting) is constrained by either the layout of the office and the use of system furniture where we are not able to tilt our table. Only those who "own" a room may perhaps change their directions. Again, often if the furniture i.e. cabinets, sidetable and table are fixed, also difficult to change, here. However, Eight House Theory or 4Good & Bad directions has limitations, in your situation. There is no magic cure for this. Since you cannot do much, here; have to consider other situations like looking at home Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: I am currently facing my 'Death' position in the office. I cannot change the orientation of the sitting. Pls advise how I can counter this very bad situation.

Dear Cheryl Usually, it is best to determine what type of wealth "corner" or sector this is. In general, if you have applied Flying Star Feng Shui; the numbers have different connotations:- 1. Mountain Star #8 = relationship, networking, luck = or auspicious mountain star. Activated with a "mountain". 2. Water Star #8 or #1 = water wealth location. Activated with a water feature 3. Base Star #8 = similar to Para 1. However, these stars must not be looked into isolation. Thus, you should have knowledge of MS#, WS# and Base# at each sector inorder to properly balance or enhance each sector. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: Dear Sir, my wealth corner is located in my death direction (NW) and my front door is located in my irritation direction (SW). What must I do tocorrect this situation? Please help. Thank you very much.

Dear Sophia, Yes, there is no issue with placing the Kwan Kong facing outwards towards the main door entrance area. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Sophia Chia wrote: 'Kwan Kong' is to place facing out towards the main door. Does that mean no doubt the 8 House is spook and 3 killing is located and no harm placing it.

Dear Jian Rong, Yes, the common approach is to place "Kwan Kong" facing (out) towards the main door. Since one is not going to pray to it; it is not necessary to "paint the eyes" anoin it. Not compulsory. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: jian rong chen wrote: Kwan kong is being place infront of many shop and houses facing the out to main door. I am thinking of getting one to place near my main door facing out. Is putting windfall deities facing out door (like a security guard) construed as irrespectfull?Do you think it is necessary to send to temple for anointed?

Should we convert a home from Period 7 to Period 8? My advise is to try to chart out your home under both Periods: 7 and 8 charts. And then analyse room by room to see which is a better chart.

DearJian Rong, It may not necessarily be true that all Period 7 homes should be converted to Period 8 to enjoy better qi. For example, if your home is a North 1 (337.5 to 352.4 degrees or 345 degrees, home; You have to study your layout before committing to changing to Period 8. For example, lets say your bedroom happens to be at the North-West sector of the home. Under Period 7; NW:- MS1 WS4 B8 = Auspicious stars in particular #1 = future prosperity with #8 current prosperity. Mountain star can be activated for relationship, family luck and networking luck But under Period 8; NW:- MS4 WS3 B9 = Relationship issues: quarrels and lawsuits. Overall stress for both husband and wife! Thus, try to follow my above example, by analysing room by room and comparing the flying stars of each sector: in particular try to analyse stars at the frontage and bedrooms. Quote: jian rong chen wrote: Is it good to convert the period 7 house to period 8 so that the house will enjoy better qi? Do search for past forum messages on how to fly to Period 8. For removing the roof tiles, one need not remove all roof titles. But removing around 8 tiles and replacing it after 100 days. In addition, try to have three or more celebrations.

Dear Aloysius, This is not the first choice location is still acceptable provided it is "shielded" from the sun and rain. The altar should be placed with a solid backing. As to whether it is to be placed on the right side or left side of the balcony, so long as immediately facing the altar - we do not see any "ugly" objects e.g. drying of clothes or shoe cabinet. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Aloysius Chia wrote: Is it a good location to have your Altar place at the rectangle balcony on a 10th floor HDB flat, especially on theright side of the balcony wall.

Dear Bail, Thanks for the two pictures Quote: Bail Lim wrote: I just want to ask if it is good to put computer in between the two beds?below is a link of my bedroom picture. Yes, there are two issues with such an arrangement: 1. the edge of the computer tableis a form of a poison arrow aimed towards the bed. 2. usually not ideal to place an older CRT monitor next to the bed-head especially if it is turned on, when we are sleeping. Once, turned off during sleep, should not pose an issue. Quote: Another Question is that if it is good to have the kitcen stove facing the door of my bedroom? I live in an apartment by the way.please click the link for the picture. Yes, this is equally not good in Feng Shui. Especially also if objects like knives, fork and or scissors can be seen from your bedroom door. In your case, since it may not be practical to remedy the situation, you may have to resort to closing the bedroom door especially if your bed is facing the stove. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, For really bad stars #5 combined or inflammed by #9; it is good to control this with "moving-metal". "Moving-metal" is particulary useful since you mentioned that in addition to these two bad stars, there is a further #3 = lawsuits, quarrels star. If the bedroom is not a bedroom, then one may consider using a six-hollow-rod windchime at that specific sector. Or a chiming clock around the wall of that sector. A clock that makes mechanical movement is also acceptable. Other traditional Feng Shui cures include:- a. the placement of a hulu or bottle gourd e.g. placed at the bed side table. b. for severe cases: get a jam jar (sized bottle). place 6 copper coins into it. Add two spponfuls of salt. Add water until 3/4 full. Stir the ingredients and place it close to a window (nearby). Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: I keep hearing how bad any combination of 5 and 9 is. In my house my bedroom is in the north region, which is also not a good region for me (spook area). The mountain star is 5 and the water star in 9, base is 3 in period 7. How do Icure this? I have tried searching for explanations or solutions on the website, but have found none. I am also a strong fire. My house does face my prosperity area of SW2.

Dear Anon, Feng Shui is about earth luck. And usually an investigation using Flying Star can help detect any issues with regards to health in one's home. The tell tale signs of health issues are especially: 1. bad star numbers e.g. #5 with /or #2 with or #9 combined or in isolation 2. These stars fall either in the bedroom or frontage of the home. For example, for wealth wise, a Period 8, SW1 has good $$ prospect. But such a home potentially has to "take-care" of health issues/problems. For example: Period 8, SW1 :- Frontage SW has M5 W8 B5 Back NE has M8 W2 B2 As the frontage and back of the home are equally important, such a home has to control in particular bad stars #5 x 2 at the frontage and #2 x 2 at the back of the home.

Dear Anon, If possible try to see if you can plot a Flying Star chart. If so, check to see if: #5 misfortune / sickness and/or #2 sickness and/or #9 fire fuelling sickness are in the room or not. The cure depends on the severity of any of the above and or combinations of them.

Dear Sophia, You should consider North as the facing direction in this instance since this is a 9th storey. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Marisol, Indeed, when performing Flying Star calculations, it is advisable to utilize the expansive terrace that offers a pleasant view as the front of the residence. This is because Flying Star Feng Shui is primarily concerned with the movement of qi into the home. Furthermore, this orientation appears to possess yang qi. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Marisol Colon wrote: I have a huge terrace that overlooks a huge amount of mountains and I can see the sea from 3 directions.

Dear Sophia, Quote: Sophia Chia wrote: The whole estate is up grading lift landing. Does that mean the estate change to period 8. I had read somewhere in your forumif the lift is up grading the house will change to period 8.Sometime 2005 we had our whole house paint,open house during Chinese New Year and performed lion dance. Does that mean it is still period 8 house. Usually, if the whole building can be "white-washed" the better inclusive of the lift upgrading.

Should I place the entrance door 6 coins with hulu and how about the centre room? The house chart is base on 20 years. The 5 killing is at NE (main door) it seem that there noises and grilling affected our house. Yes, it is best to neutralise the various sectors that have bad stars. As the 5 killing is at main door, it is good to place metal i.e. 6 coins acceptable, there. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Trish, Frankly, without a sketch, it is quite difficult to figure out your exact room layout plan. Firstly, what are you trying to achieve. From your second last paragraph, you mentioned that pointing west is good for you. However, does it look not only feasible but "comfortable" for you. In other positions are you trying to avoid aiming your foot towards the bathroom door? Generally, if there are no other better placements, this is quite acceptable. Most of the time, to be honest there are limited configurations for placing the bed /bed-head. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Trish Perry wrote: My question has to do with bed positioning. My bedroom is the master bedroom and there is no way for me to put my bed that it won't be in a wrong position. Three of the walls are slanted, and the one I have the bed against now is a straight wall, butthe angle of the foot of the bed is toward my bathroom door and my closet door. The bed isn't directly in front of these doors, but the end of thebed forms an angle to them both.The only wall that may be possible at all, is the wall that contains the bedroom door on it but that is a slanted wall and is also the wall that separates the bedroom from the living room. The bed would then point directly West which is very good for me, and there would be no angle to any other doors in the room. What should I do?

Dear Anon, A. In addition to Para 8, please see below:- 8) In addition, at the KITCHEN, place FA GAO x1 and ORANGES x3 on the stove. - with an ang pow with 20cents or 2 dollars or even number notes/coins will do. - Do not sweep the floor on the three days of placement. For example, if placed on Saturday, only sweep the floor after Monday i.e. from next Tuesday onwards ONLY. - After this date, all the ang pow money can be used to purchase sweets or sweet-drinks for own family consumption. B. In many instances - for homes especially many Housing Board flats that come "bare" without living room floor tiles done; i.e. only cement screeding; most likely after three days, often the fruits "may not be fit" for consumption. In such a case, it is best to get a disposable rubbish bag and throw the entire "offerings" e.g. fruits, grown-green beans away. For homes that have been completed e.g. most condos, newly completed terrace homes etc... often, it is OK to throw away all these offerings after the 3rd day. Especially true, if there are ants, roaches, lizards that had touched the food. We never know. Thus ideally, throw these offerings away. We don't want to fall sick, do we? Note: Avoid giving any of the "offerings" or fruits to contractors or contractor's workers. This is like giving some of our wealth away. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: I readyour procedure on 'getting key-initial opening of door'.

Dear Paula, In my opinion, from a Feng Shui point of view the use of platform bed has more to do with "Commonsense Approach to Feng Shui". In fact, it is literally - Commonsense under Feng Shui:- 1. Is sleeping on a platform, bad under Feng Shui? In many parts of the world, many people do sleep either on the floor or on a platform. In particular, the Japanese, for example sleep on the floor which is quite similar to sleeping on a "platform" or flat-bed. Thus, generally there are no issues here since nearly a very high percentage of the Japanese population sleep on a flat-bed. Besides this "rich" country many less well to do countries also have citizens sleeping on flat-bed. 2. I was told that we must sleep on a raised bed so that qi can circulate under our bed? Is this true? This has more to do with "commonsense" then Feng Shui. One good thing about a raised bed or a bed with e.g. 4 legs is that we can easily clean below the bed. Nowadays with lots of nasty virus or issues with them; it would be nice if we have the opportunity to be able to clean below ourbed.This will avoid or eliminate dust mites and other forms of virus. Imagine having a platform bed. Most platforms are fixed and cannot easily be removed for cleaning. And if there are small gaps in the wood or say we shed our skin etc.. and these fall below into the bottom of the platform, we may not be able to clean them. Thus there may be a host of mites e.g. dust mites and other insects, crawing all over below the untouchable (below our bed). Thus, as one can see, there can be an issue with having a platform in the long term. Even more so, if we carpet the platform. It is so much harder to maintain the carpeting or ensuring again no dust mites etc... crawling all over the platform. Worse if we have young children. They can or may urinate orthey could seep thru the bed into the bottom of the platform which is out of reach. Childrenmay also eat sweets, spill drinks etc.. Thus, if we have simply a four legged bed, it is much more practical, should we want to ensure that the room is clean. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Frankly, the situation you face is very common for many of us. As Feng Shui is not based on just one concept, alone. Thus, in order to have a more balanced view of how well your home "perform". Under Feng Shui, try as much as you can to use a holistic approach to find out the "health" of the home. For example, how is the "Shapes and Forms" like for your home. How can you benefit from Flying Star of your home etc...

Dear Anon, 1. If possible, you can follow the sample format, attached. For a signage, it is best to go for length i.e. odd number and for the width even numbers. As odd number represent yang while even number represents yin. Thus such a signage is considered, balanced i.e. yin and yang in harmony. For example if you use cm, then length can be89cm while width can be 42 cm. Alternatively if you use inches then lenght can be59 inches while width can be 28 inches etc..

So the staffs will be standing behind the menu. From what I can see, there is no major issues with such a light box. In fact, in my opinion, it seems quite a good idea. When you mention that the staffs will be standing behind the menu, do you mean that literally, the staff standing below each menu will serve that specific food? Or both can serve the combined set of both menu food? This is the only sticking point that perhapsmay lead to confusion if you do not intend to serve different food. And perhaps a KFC type of menu could be better, here?

As for the cash register, usually a Feng Shui assessment can often determine the best location for it. However, in your case, it is best to check the operational work-flow. Whether the cash register is in the middle (operational ease?) or security? (against the left wall) is best to be decided as mentioned on the work flow of how your staff are going to serve/ operate.
