Dear Anna,
Sorry for the delay in reply.
In general, if you have a small studio apartment, you can do the following:-
1. You can still use the Eight House Theory and divide your house into eight sectors.
2. Try to proritise or place your bed to confirm under the Shapes and Form School i.e. avoid having it facing the door a toilet etc...
3. See whether your bed can fall within one of the 4 auspicious sectors of your house.
Once you have arranged your bed, then the rest of the `furniture' will fit in naturally.
Where possible, use your instincts and place them where you like. For the worktable, place it against a wall.
If you do a SEARCH in this forum for "studio " you most likely will find quite alot of advise given previously on the Studio Apartment.
An octagon shape, although not ideal is still acceptable.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

I am temporarily living (until

with irregular walls(some
parts are kind of like like an
octagon). What would be the
best way to arrange my
furniture? All I have is a
queen size bed (just a
mattress and a boxspring), a
square wooden night table, 2
small bookcases, a round green
plastic patio garden table
that my computer and printer
sit on, 4 plastic green patio
chairs and a small square
green plastic coffee table.
Where would be the best place
for me to put the TV, VCR and
small CD player? Isn't the TV
not supposed to face the bed?
I have some file boxes and
cardboard storage boxes too.
Does it matter where I put
these? I have some wind chimes
but don't know the best place
to put them. At the moment,
they are hanging from a
ceiling lamp. The front door
does open inward but there is
not enough of a wall for it to
even rest against the wall. A
large closet with 3 sliding
doors is immediately to the
left of the front door. Not
directly in front of, but sort
of to the diagonal, is the
kitchen area. I can't move
anything in there. The sink is
to the left and there is a
microwave on the counter next
to the stove and the stove is
separated from the
refrigerator by part of the
kitchen counter. I have a
pink/peach beaded curtaining
hanging in the kitchen
entryway. To the right of the
kitchen is a semicircular
cement bar area. Directly to
the right of that is the door
to the bathroom. To the right
of the bathroom is an open
space with one regular flat
wall to the right. It sort of
faces the door. Then there is
a little step underneath a
large rectangular archway
which leads into the other
part of the apartment. If you
kept turning right (which
means your back would be to
the door and the door would be
behind you on the right hand
side), you would be facing two
sliding glass screen doors
that face the parking lot. A
regular wall would be to the
right and to the left.

Dear Dekay,
A Warm Welcome to the Forum.
This is symbolic of " stepping on Gold ". Try to get the Chinese coins or copper coins i.e. those that look like `gold'. However, this is a very general concept.

Dear Ber,
As Joe correctly pointed out where best, try to avoid mirrors especially large ones in the house.
1. Mirrors are of the YIN element.
2. Mirrors located at a " wrong " location can bounce back twice the bad luck.
3. It is common for the Cantonese (A dialect group of the Chinese) to install a large mirror in the dinning room in the hope that it will bring them auspiciousness.
But as I mentioned above, becareful where you install it.
4. It is not advisable to have a mirror in one room, `shine' towards another room as we do not know what we are bouncing unless one does a Flying Star chart to analyse further.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

cure for this? Please help.

Frankly, there is no known effective cures for this.
For the toilet:-
1.The best you can do is to keep it bright and dry and close the door when not in use.
2.Avoid placing any mirrors close to the centrepoint of the house as it will a disturbance of Qi as light is deflected.

My bedroom occupies the south

SW sector and also faces SW.
My bed is located in the SE
sector of the bedroom. Will I
encounter a lot of
difficulties in this case. My
kua no. is 8.

The Eight House cannot be used to determine or analyse in detail. Under the Eight House, the only best thing to do is to sleep closer to e.g. the Prosperity line.
This takes second or third priority to Shapes and Form with regards to the bedroom. For example, try not to have the bed facing the bedroom door. The proper tool to analyse a house is using the Flying Star.

Quote

Is it more important to have
the main door face a good
direction or for it to be
located in a good sector.

For the main door, priority should be given for it to face a good direction. Here, if it faces your Excellent location, for example this is good.
Usually, when your main door faces a good direction, usually this is also a good sector unless your door is `slanted' at a large degree to another direction.

Quote

Also, is it more important to
get the main door face a good
direction or for the bedroom
to be located in a good
sector.
I find that it is really
difficult to find a perfect
house unless you build it from
scratch.

Yes, I agree with you in this situation. As we cannot buy a perfect house, we can try to minimize buying a really " bad " house e.g. full of missing corners or toilets in the wrong locations.
We should bear in mind that if a house chart is considered " auspicious ", however, if its shape and form is really bad e.g. toilet above the main entrance, blue roof etc... This is bad.

Dear Toni,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
Since the religion is predominantly Christian, in general, even if there are spirits, usually they are quite harmless.
First of all, avoid any metallic wind chimes or any metallic fliers or anything that makes metallic sound.
Keep the room bright and introduce a more Yang environment:-
1. In terms of interior decor, use bright colours. Avoid dark colours.
2. Avoid having ceramic vases or any display items e.g. wood scuptures etc...
3. It is good if the office can have some music e.g. soothing sounds or even tune in to offical radio channels to increase the Yang element.
4. Ideally, your partner element strength should be " Strong " and not weak. If weak, may need compensation to increase the strength.
A person of `weak wood' may need some control or help to increase the wood element particularly in a Yin environment.
As I do not have more detailed information of your partner's element and strength, I am unable to comment further i.e. the strongest Yang environment for your partner's office is in the range of Red .... Pink... Purple. But not sure if there is any impact on his element and strength. For example, if he is a weak fire, ideally he can introduce pink, red or purple in his environment.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Ber,
In general, it is OK to plant a few pot of plants.
For plants that flower, after you place the plant do " monitor " the plant to see if it flowers. If it does, generally, this is auspicious.
Potted plants are quite safe:-
1. If you do not have many but a few e.g. two or three is acceptable.
2. In a pot, they cannot grow `wildy' or grow too large. This is good.
3. Bamboo plants are acceptable also.
Again in a very general sense, if you have a few pot of plants placed moderately, this is OK.
4. Do not plant them directly `cutting' the main entrance door is fine. Placing them around the house is OK.
At the West, avoid large trees or untrimmed trees that can grow like a jungle. I had mentioned that too many trees create a too yin environment and try to avoid it at the West location.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Hi,
Here, you must note that there is a `Ranking' or `Priority' i.e. it is more important to be at a good sector of influence rather than face a good direction.
For example, if you are constantly sleeping at one of your auspicious/good sectors, this is considered good. It would be better if you can sleep in a auspicious/good sector and also face a good direction.
Contrast this to sleeping in an inauspicious sector but facing your good direction. It will not do much good here.

Cecil

This is the same problem faced by many in Housing and Development Flats where part of the Kitchen is behind the altar.
Due to lack of space, you can place it with the kitchen wall (behind) it. However, it should not be directly behind the kitchen STOVE.

Hi,
It is acceptable to have a coin in the mouth and this signifies a " close mouth. "
As for the dragon figurine(s):-
1. The Dragon is considered the most Yang of all animals.
2. If one's main door falls under an inauspicious sector of the Eight House one can still use a pair of Dragons (one is still ok) aimed at the main door).
3. Where possible avoid using a Five Claw dragon as it is too yang for the home. It is best to use a four claw dragon.
4. So far, a dragon with an open mouth is acceptable. In fact most of the dragons have open mouth for them to `shoot' fire. Contrast this is a hungry tiger figurine which is inauspicious.

Cecil Lee

Hi,
In my country, we are not accustomed to keeping python, spiders and other snakes as pets.
However, it would depend on the custom of a locality or country. Normally, such animals are not kept in a bedroom. There is no written document in the past on the above so looks like it is `new territory'.
Overall, one can still apply the Yin and Yang concept and classify such animals and relate it to Yin and Yang. From the looks of the creatures, they are in my opinion generally considered Yang insects and reptiles. Here, one should have a balance between Yin and Yang. In the bedroom, again depending on who is sleeping there i.e. if it is a child, a more Yang environment is acceptable as it promotes growth.
In Chinese symbolism, spiders are considered one of the most dangerous insects. (This is just a passing remark).
In my opinion, if it is common in your area, then it is ok.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Usually, the author would provide some information on their School. If it is BTB (Black Hat Sect) my advise is to avoid these books.
From the description of the book, most likely it is on the Shapes and Form. In general, it is easier to apply the Shapes and Form as it is more general and can apply to most homes.

Hi,
Feng Shui is based on priorities and purpose.
In terms of priorities, one should look at the 20 Year Flying Star Chart of the overall sector.
If it is auspicious, this is good. The Yearly Flying Star Chart does not look at the two stars but simply the base number and a star number. This gives a feel of the yearly chart.
Now, since you are aware of the Flying Star Chart, as you have mentioned, you looked at your Eight House Chart. Since the sector is not auspicious for you, you should avoid spending too much time at the sector. But one good thing is that it is a good sector under the Flying Star i.e. it may be a good sector for another person.
Applying and analysing Feng Shui correctly is never easy. Why?
This is because, one cannot simply apply Feng Shui to one person and forget the other party i.e. the spouse in most situtations.
Let me take a simple example:
If the husband is a strong Water person and the wife a Weak Metal person. And the room has a Flying Star 5 for example. Here, one should not strengthen the room with Earth element.
In a simple straight forward analysis, the best `gel' for the two partners (Strong Water and Weak Metal) is Earth element.
By understanding that under the Flying Star, there is a Bad 5 or 5 Earth at this location, one cannot introduce earth element.
The above are what a Feng Shui Master constantly looks at.
That is why in an earlier reply, someone wrote that he is facing difficulties and is trying to D.I.Y. Feng Shui.
It is not so simple to go get a book, go running to buy `cures' and placing lots of enhancements here and there.
The final result is that the Feng Shui Master not only have to look for a `cure' but worse off, to undo the `wrong' things that were done. Is it the office? or the Home?
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Jason,
When we learn Feng Shui, we need to learn it in a `complete' package.
For example, when one is given the direction of how to do a survey to determine the main entrance door, one has to follow the steps `completely' given by the particular School or person.
For example, what I have devised, the method is meant for all modules for determing the main door at Geomancy.net.
What I hope to do is to make it as simple as possible for everyone.
This is because many if not all users are not familiar in using the Chinese Luo Pan. The twist is that the method mentioned to you is based on the use of the Lou Pan.
When you face the door and reading the direction, you must know the Sitting and Facing direction and how to look at the main door. Furthermore, the compass is oriented from South to North. I sincerely hope that you have taken the proper readings.
For example, under the method you have mentioned, it is correct to face the main door but after this, you must know how to read the Facing direction and Sitting or the Mountain direction.
Frankly, any method, if used correctly and provided one follows the direction of the person correctly, will yield the same result particularly if it is from a traditional `Master'.
What is the reason for placing 6 ancient coins?
This is to `cure' Star 5. If I am not mistaken, Star 5 is present at the SE. As star 5 is a bad star, it is also of the Earth Element.
The 6 coins is to `exhaust' the 5 Earth or Bad Earth element.
Overall, placing 6 coins is a better proposition to neutralise the 5 Earth. The reason for saying so is because, I also have a client who I had advised yesterday evening after looking thru the house chart which happens to be at the SE location. (However, there are 3 SE positions so.. hopefully it coincides with yours at SE3 at 150 degrees).
At the same time, the base number is 9 and there is a 5 Earth present at the SE3 for 1999.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil Lee

that my front door is facing

the compass direction of my

is totally different from what
you have advise. If I take the

using the center of the house,
it will be under the SE

Further to what I had mentioned, for those who are not aware of the Chinese culture, ringing bell etc... is performed as a `rite' for someone who has died.
Chinese monks who perfom the last burial rites use bells etc.. to guide the dead to their burial place.
Here like wind chimes, one may inadvertently call some wondering `spirits' to the home.

Dead Qi / Suffocating Qi. Feng
Shui tries to address mainly
Sha Qi (poision arrows) and
enhance beneificial Qi.
Feng Shui is used mainly to
redress Sha Qi and enhance
beneficial Qi.
If you are new to Feng Shui, I
sincerely suggest that `drop'
books on BTB or its practises
and learn Traditional Feng
Shui.
If you go through the messages
and replies in this forum, you
can see a constant mention of
the 5 Elements and Yin and
Yang Principle.
For example, I have in a few
earlier messages mentioned
that Derek Walters had written
books on Feng shui. Frankly he
had written TWO books on Feng
Shui but both are classics:
Book 1: Feng Shui Book 2:
Feng Shui Handbook and each
topic he writes relates to Yin
and Yang and the Five
Elements. Unlike new authors
who out of the blue advise one
to use a fountain etc...
without full relevance to the
above.
The only point to note is that
under Book 2 of Derek Walters:
The Feng Shui Handbook, his
Eight House Model is a
combined personal Flying Star
and Eight House. Frankly, the
Eight House should not be
`mixed' with the Flying Star.
The Eight House is
specifically used to determine
a person's good / bad
locations thats all.
Otherwise, I advise all new
users to have a solid
foundation in Feng Shui. Not
Fast Food Feng Shui.
You will understand that like
houses, there must be a solid
foundation and what better way
to do so is to learn Feng Shui
correctly.
For example, if a Feng Shui
book asks one to place a wood
in the toilet, this cannot
work for some and infact may
do more damage if the person's
element clashes with the wood
element.
If you can relate every
enhancement to Yin/Yang and
Five Elements, you are on your
way to learning or applying
proper Traditional Feng Shui.

Hi,
Currently there are four methods of dealing with a T junction (not in any order of importance):-
1. Change the angle of the door to face one of your best directions i.e. tilt the door to one that faces one of your good directions. This is said to `kill' two birds with one
stone.
2. If your main entrance door is elevated, you can have semi-circular steps leading to the house. This is one technique of `radiating' sha ch' away from your main
entrance.
3. Alternatively, if your main entrance is level to your external of the house, you could consider a specially made semi-circular carpet e.g. of half of a sun with it's fiery
sunlight (spikes) radiating away from the main entrance door.
This is the same concept as " Ming Tang " where it is common for buildings to have a semi-circular pool of water outside the building. Radiating outwards.
4. Hang a pakua above the main entrance door. To find out more, please go to this URL: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/pakua.htm
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Hi,
There are a few factors to consider:-
1. There are many situations where a house has `perfect' Feng Shui based on the Flying Star or Xuan Kong Fei Xing calculations. But unfortunately, the house is simply not suited to the owners. For example under the Eight House Theory, it is the death or disaster line of the owner. Perhaps, he/she is sleepin g in the room with the disaster etc.. bad influences.
2. Sometimes, it is true that the House has bad Feng Shui especially under the Shapes and Form e.g. T or Y junction etc....
My advise to those who are not Feng Shui experts is perhaps to get a qualified Feng Shui Practioner to look over the house and provide an assessment.
As each situation differs, we cannot discount all repossessed houses bad.
Hope that helps.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
