Dear Jill,
Most importantly, if a new condo has been developed (and nearly ready) e.g. waiting for TOP and if we are allowed entry , it is best to bring all family members along to view the unit. Especially try to view the unit in the afternoon e.g. 3 or 4pm to check whether it is affected by the afternoon sun.
Do note that because of the earth's axis tilt, there can be a slight shift in the sun's rays every six-months.
Units that "soak" in lots of heat ... are practically "unliveable" as it may result in frequent quarrels and also it is not practical or cost effect to turn on the air-con unit all the time.
The "rule-of-thumb" usually sets in. Often, needless to say, the more expensive units (with or without Feng Shui) are often the more expensive ones.. Such as those facing the pool or little or no obstruction.
If possible avoid an apartment facing directly a temple etc... also...
In most developments, there are always good and bad units. Strangely, often than not, even in a development's launch, we often can see a whole block that is taken up while literally, another block is left "unsold". Most likely, people go with their feel and many of these unsold blocks often in one way or another either has poor Feng Shui or "soaks" in the afternoon sun.
In Singapore, never buy units facing or "soaking" in the afternoon sun, directly as it is the most unpopular "buys". Even if in the future, we want to sell it, it is a problem to market these units.
Generally, units that are North-South facing tend to be better. But under Period 8, the best units are those facing NE or SW (but bearing in mind the afternoon sun - impact - if any)

Dear Anon,
Usually, the consensus of many FS practitioners is that so long as the house or apartment has not been occupied even if it was constructed under Period 7 (1984 to 2003).. but when humans start occupying the home, one can easily consider the homes as under Period 8. As this is where yang activity takes place....

whether renovation can cause
the house to move to Period 8.

Dear Ed,
Generally, this can still be done especially if you find that this is one of the better or best positions within the bedroom.
From a commonsense approach to Feng Shui, so long as one draws the curtain (for privacy) or if one has young children, avoid letting it be opened as children may climb over it.

Dear Anon,
Usually, your office would have installed blinds. Simply draw the blinds and this is good enough : " if one cannot see it it no longer becomes a threat.
As for the sharp corner of the pillar:-
1. from your illustration, it does not seem that the front pillar slices into the person. So should not be an issue.
2. furthermore, for a sharp corner in an office, usually after approximately 1 metre distance away from it, the sha qi is pretty weak. Even the two sha qi at the back of you should not be an issue. In addition, if one has a high chair, the two sha qi at the back is a non-issue.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Hi Master Cecil,

There is a corner of the

buildings diagonally facing
me, thus, the corner faces me

Dear Anon,
Thanks for the sketch!
The "overhead" beam that you had mentioned (illustrated) is very common situation.
If one looks carefully, with a pillow, the head will (never) be under this beam. If so, there is no issue at all!
It is not the same as having an overhead beam right across one's body or the overhead beam is in the middle of the bed. If so, this is a concern. But in your illustration, to be sure, one can even pull the bed head further out or leave a few inches gap between the bedhead and the wall.
If so, there is no issue in neutralising it. Yes, you are correct, traditionally, all the methods you had mentioned are to neutralise a beam. While the red cloth is in my opinion, unconventional.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear May,
It is good to avoid the "coffin position" where the legs should not face the bedroom door.
If so, best to "change position"; at least with the head facing the bedroom door is (not ideal) but acceptable).
If you need some privacy; it would be good if the bed has a bedhead. Else if not, then something like a clean bath towel placed on a "open-hole" bedhead is acceptable.
For rooms that may have #5 or #2 avoid bright yellow or bright red in a bedroom. As a safeguard to avoid the sickness stars.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Wee Wei,
Centrepoint Developement's Cote D'azur is just TOP, also.
In all condo developments, there are always good Feng Shui units and not so favourable ones...
For Lakeholmz, it was quite active last week with 4 units sold.
In all developments, it is always the "first-mover" advantage that is the best! (book first! -- during early launch) to get choice units.
Since the MRT track runs parallel to Lakeholmz, units next to it would have "penetrating" (irritating) sound throughout the operating hours of it.
In addition, try to avoid units that have walls that soak directly the afternoon sun.
Frankly, sometimes if we realise, an entire block /unit is often left unsold. This is another indication that "something may be a miss" These units should be further investigated. Most of the time it is due to the afternoon sun!
Even if the units suit west group persons, however, better to give it a-miss! Imagine, currently with the abnormal hot climate, we cannot already "tahan" or stand the weather. If we or our family choose to stay in a west "affected" sun home; it is like imposing a life of torture! We pay so expensive for a house and yet, get literally cooked! Not withstanding the lousy resale value later also.
For west group persons, good to consider NE or SW apartment bearing in-mind what I had just mentioned above.
Wishing you good luck in your house hunting!

Dear Chee Kheong,
It is a strong consideration to move the stove.
Since we are just going by description, it is good for you to see the feasibility of this inconsideration with:
1. in the new position, where best the stove does not face the toilet bowl or basin
2. hopefully the new position does not clash with the wash basin or
3. is there a secure solid wall behind the stove
4. how about windy days? Does the postion allow fire to "move-around" or forced-out of the front ... which may cause hurt to the body etc...The above are also some of the considerations before implementing any change. I can only think of the above for now.

Dear anon,
No this would normally be not enough to fly to the new period.
If possible, once some of the tiles are removed, leave it (perhaps, use a clear plastic sheet) to cover the missing area but generally one may have to place it back around 100 days later.
Usually the morepromising thing is to do a major renovation. Thus, in my opinion, it is really a waste of time and money changing the main door since the frame is not changed at all.
Besides this, a celebration or inviting a lion dance etc... would help...

Dear Anon,
Small plants should generally be treated as part of the interior decor.
For larger plants etc... it is good to look at each sector under the Flying star Feng Shui.
For example, if the location has say an auspicious #8 either mountain star or water star or both; it is not favourable to place large plants at these sectors. Since wood (imagine it's roots crushing into the earth)

For water star #8, it can be activated with water to improve on wealth. An auspicious water star #8 does not mean that this earth will fall into water especially under Period 8.

Dear Samantha,
Based on your description; if you are to remove your roof tiles from existing area, then looks like your home will be flying into Period 8 already.
But if you are adding new roof (without removing existing home's roof) by extending it, then your home would remain the previous period 4.

Dear Cecil, Can you give me
advice on a few things abt a
house that I'm considering ?
1. the house is a nice
rectangle but the land is more
triangular (see picture), is
this bad ?The triangle profile is not the best but neither is it significantly inauspicious. Fortunately, the "triangle-base" at the back is significantly bigger than the narrow frontage and not the other way around. Thus is still OK.
2. the main door is
facing north-west, is this bad
?If the home is a Period 7 home than this NW facing either NW 1 2 or 3 is not good. The home should fly to Period 8 especially for a NW 1 home. If the home is a NW2 or 3, based on Flying Star Feng Shui, it is not very good - if compared to other facing.
In addition, this home suits more of a West group person.
However, from a Shapes and Forms Feng Shui point of view, it is acceptable as most of the side of the home will not be afftected by any afternoon sun.
Quote3. it is located on the
curve of the cul de sac (there
are 2 houses located on the
curve, this is one of them)So long as the main door is not in direct alignment of the main gate, it should be quite safe.
4.
the house number is is 14A, is
this bad ? Thanks.
This has more to do with individual preference and also it's effect is more towards future resale value of how others may view the number. (Rather than Feng Shui)

Dear Sable,
Please note that if the kitchen is at the South (side) or compass direction of a home; there is no issue of a stove facing a fridge location.
The most adversely affected location is where the kitchen is at the north compass direction of the home. Since north = water, a stove facing the fridge could affect wealth.
Traditional Feng Shui practitioners would recommend the placement of a mirror or a reflective film on the side of the fridge to reflect back the warmth of the stove. Bottle gourd is not used, here.
To be truly honest, a blind is OK. But often it is OK BUT... BUT not practical! Since the stove is often at the level of our hip area, it would mean that the blind or cloth has to be hung pretty low to shield it from the fridge. And it is also not practical for movement such as opening the fridge etc.. In addition, the cloth or blind can easily get stained with oil very easily! Therefore, don't seem a viable solution.

Dear Anon,
Some practitioners may consider the apartment asSE facing because the main entrance is located facing SE.
If so, since SE facing is wood, it is not suitable for a Strong Fire person.
On the other hand, the alternative view is that it can be SW facing i.e. earth element. Thus, would be suitable to a Strong Fire person.
Usually, without an onsite visit, I believe many traditionalist practitioners would consider your apartment as a SE facing one as the defacto facing direction of the apartment.
Often, a more accurate assessment is needed e.g. onsite to view the surrounding buildings, garden, open space and to locate the qi flow coming towards the unit eithervia main entrance or the PES area etc..

Dear Anon,
In the past, in the 13th century, this ruyi is actually a blunt sword in the shape of the Lingzi mushroom. It was believed that taking linzi mushroom could bestow immortality or long life to a person.
The ruyi actually symbolises "as you wish, what you want to do..."
The sword was actually meant to guard against bad intangible forces or bad forces of the dark or unknown.
Since this is considereda sword (even though it is blunt); it is still preferred to place it e.g. as a decorative item in a display shelf.
Often, it is placed facing a window, also.

Dear Anon,
So long as the unit is not directly facing the frontage or the main entrance area of the Hindu temple; it is acceptable for the unit.
For the two bedrooms; the test of whether there is sha qi or not is to stand at each of the bedroom windows.
If the antenane seems to slice thru the window, then this is considered as a sha qi or poison arrow.
Often there are two cures to this:
1. Reflective tinted glass
Tinted glass or reflection from the glass is acceptable, here.
2. Day curtains or blinds
Alternatively, one could use any of these to block the view of the antennaes.
The concept is: "If it cannot be seen; it no longer becomes a threat".
Warmest Regards,

Dear Anon,
Yes, this is a Chinese belief. As it was felt that attending someone else's wedding soon after our own wedding is considered a "clash" and thus inauspicious to do so.
One should wait until at least six-months after one's wedding before attending other people's wedding.
This is part of the "older-Chinese-generation" belief.
Since your parents are fully against both of you attending your friend's wedding, it is best to follow their instructions.
As to whether something bad ... is another matter which according to the "clash" if possible, try to avoid doing so.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Jennifer,
Since the basement apartment is at the back of the home. What is the view like from this back of the house?
Most likely, the facing direction of your apartment is either facing the front of the house (if it is blocked by it) then most likely it could be the back as the facing direction.
Or, in your basement apartment, are there windows? In particular, if there is a window in the apartment and it has a very nice view, then, this could instead be the facing direction.
In my opinion, the most misunderstood issue on the bagua mirror is that one should not simply place it. As mentioned by many western Feng Shui sites or Feng Shui shops.
Many of the western Feng Shui sites think that placing a ba gua mirror or (in actual fact) I believe the motive, is to sell as many ba gua mirrors without due regard to the actual purpose of placing it.
For the Chinese, there are two main purpose of placing a ba gua mirror:-
1. To ward off -evil
2. To deflect sha qi (convex mirror) or "absorb" (concave mirror) a missing corner.Warmest Regards,

Hi! I am about to move
in to a basement apartment on
a farm, which is at the back
of the house.
Approaching the apartment, you
have to enter through a
screen/stormdoor and
down a short brick hallway,
then on the right side is the
formal door to the
apartment. Should I
consider the outside screen
door the entrance and
therefore align the bagua to
that, or should I use the
formal door that actually
leads into the
apartment? And if the
formal door is the entrance,
can I use a bagua mirror there
or is it dangerous because it
is not fully outside?
Can I use the bagua mirror at
the screen door even if it is
not the entrance and mouth of
chi to the home?
Thank you so much for any and
all suggestions!

Is there a meaningpaper
gold money (heaven paper
money). Hope you understand
what I mean.By
placingbuddha/deity
sitting the paper gold
money.Orby putting
three gold coins (s'pore
coins) under the buddha sit.There is relatively no harm doing so. Under Flying star Feng Shui, 3 represents wood and since the coins are made of metal; metal destroys wood to create wealth!
Can dragon fruit pray to the
deities. What is the meaning
of the fruit.This red fruit is a new commercial product originated from Vietnam. Since it is red in colour (an auspicious color) for the Chinese, other then it's soft external "thorn" like structure, it is relatively Ok.
When praying, it is usually the thought that counts.

Dear Anon,
In my opinion, usually, suggestion 2 and 3 are a better solution than suggestion 1. This is because actual water is harder to maintain e.g. algae growth and it could be a hive of baterial growth if water is not changed frequently.
And furthermore, since the kitchen is a balance of "hot" (fire) and "cold" (water) such a water urn could also create an imbalance at that sector.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
