Hello Master Lee
I found your website yesterday
and am thrilled to have done
so. I have now spent several
hours browsing and learning
alot more than I thought I
would.Glad that you found the forum useful
I have a question which
pertains to the placement of a
bed in one ofmy
bedrooms. I have read the
information listed at the site
but cannot determine the best
placement due to circumstances
which exist in the room so I
appreciate your assistance.
First off the room is located
in the NW sector of the home
and it has 2 glass doors which
do not open into the room but
open to the outside of the
room. Which is the best
wall to place the head of the
bed since the North wall has
windows and theS wall is
actually a area leading to the
bathroom. Currently the bed is
facing towards the door
of the room on the West wall.
Thanks you for your help.
Usually, a sketch would help better understand the situation, better.However, even when we are trying to apply Feng Shui, the first concern is whether there is any afternoon sun affecting the bedroom. Since this bedroom is at NW, do check whether any of the wall(s) or windows is affected by afternoon (heat if any).
Placing one's feet facing the bedroom door is also inauspicious in Feng Shui as this is known as the "coffin" position.
For individuals sleeping in the bedroom, one can study his/her Eight House chart to see which is the best bed-head position. One can use the free Eight House / Best Sleeping position report under geomancy-online.com to further see if one can sleep facing a better direction.Warmest Regards,

Dear Cindy,
When Flying Star Feng Shui is applied i.e. S2; and if your home was born or had a major renovation done between 1984 to 2003, then one should consider the various important numbers:-
#8 - Current prosperity
Actually, the mountain star MS#8 is directly at South while WS#8 is at the SW sector. In some homes, the gate is on the side of the home and often the front could benefit (instead) with a wall and a water postion could be determined to see if it can be at SW sector.
#7 - Past prosperity but #7 became nasty in 2004. Because of the double #7's at the back of the home; if the home continues to remain as a Period 7 home, than, it would benefit from a water feature at the back of the home to neutralise the double 7's. Otherwise, good to see if the home can be changed to a Period 8 home.
Thus, if we are applying Flying Star Feng Shui, some concepts relating to Shapes and Forms may not be appropriate. This is because Shapes and Forms DOES NOT consider time dimension in Feng Shui. Previously a double #7 is considered favourable prior to 2004, and a solid backing at the home was advantages at that time, but now, one has to deal with this two nasty #7's. One way is that since #7's are weak metal x2, water element is the best "cure" to draw out metal.
Some other charts like NW2 and NW3 or say SE1 (Period 7) are Peral Sting charts that should take advantage of a "mountain" at the frontage and "water" at the back of the home. Again, this will not match what you had mentioned below.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Sophia,
Although the altar looks crowded, I personally find that the arrangement is still OK. If you still want to retain the extra Guan Yin, it is OK.
The ruffled extra prayer table, looks like there is an evidence of a lion dance prior to taking the photo.

Dear Anon,
1. Feng Shui encompasses various aspects, including the environment, the site, and the interior of the home.
2. All of the aforementioned factors have an impact on Feng Shui.
3. In my view, there is no problem with airing shirts and pants, especially if they are not excessively soiled. This is a common practice in the real world.
4. Given that not all of us live in an ideal environment, as long as a room is adequately maintained, I personally do not see this as an issue.
5. Many of us have read Feng Shui books that advise against placing a TV set facing the bed, as it is considered inauspicious. The rationale is that when one sleeps, the spirit may see its reflection on the TV screen and be startled.
6. However, what if the spirit is an extrovert and wishes to view itself before roaming?
7. Nowadays, modern TV sets have minimal reflection. For instance, it is difficult to see one's reflection in a matte black LED monitor screen such as an IBM PC.
8. Another consideration is the tolerance level of individuals. Some can handle spicy food, while others cannot. Similarly, some can sleep comfortably in a room surrounded by mirrors, while others cannot. People also have varying stress tolerance levels.
9. We have a relatively short time on this earth and should be able to enjoy our environment and live comfortably without being restricted by unnecessary limitations. Otherwise, we become slaves to our environment.

Dear Anon,
In the living room area, see if a water feature can be activated here to drown or dissolve double #7's.
It is still possible to fly to Period 8, but this can be a slower process i.e. repainting the entire ceiling at one go, having celebrations at home etc...

Dear Sophia,
To clarify, what I mentioned is that they can share the same altar table, but separated or segmented.
The elephant deity if it is immediately next to Guan Yin, should be lower height (if there is a stand) than Guan Yin sitting on her lotus leaf flower.

Dear Sophia,
Feng Shui is about Earth Luck. But most of the time Human Luck is equally important.
Human luck often relates to family ties / family bonding / relationships and yes, hobbies.
Since this is your husband's past-time or hobby, like many others, it is perfectly all right to collect them as this brings a good sense of feeling for him. Is also indirectly good for the family.

Dear Anon,
In the past, the most common is the wood Hulu or original wood dried ones.
However, in modern times (last few years) it is also common to find brass (gold looking) ones which represent the metal element.
These two are if one wants to consider -- the two most "authentic" ones because of the following:-
1. It is often used or placed at locations with #2 or #5. Both are strong earth element.
2. Thus under the Five elements concept:
ref: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-5element.htm2.1 Under the productive cycle, metal destroys earth. Thus, many of those used to at #5 or #2 are made of metal such as brass / copper which resembles gold colour.
2.2 Under the destructive cycle, wood destroys or control earth.
Thus, both wood (real wood, wood tone, brown or green) are considered under Para 2.2. And under Para 2.1, metal is the first choice element.
Henry Ford saying goes " You can have any color, but it must be black".
Thus, it can be any hulu but it must either be metal or wood.
The size really does not matter.
Anything else e.g. crystal hulu, black, purple, red etc... should not be used as a "cure" unless it's color fits the sector under the flying star MS#, WS# and #Base numbers.
Otherwise, it is best to stick with either "metal (gold)" or "wood".
For a hobbist, there is no issue buying a whole collection of hulus for display mainly to enrich the seller of such products i.e. line his/her pocket.

Dear Anon,
Applying Feng Shui is also very similar to taking an examination.
For example, many of us can remember having to take say an examination that requires us to answer 4 questions out of 10 questions.
Here, many of us would recall our teachers teaching us examination techniques. And the advise by our teacher is to try to attempt to answer all 4 questions instead of only 3.
For example, in the past, how many of us do not allocate time for each question. Thus in a 2 hour paper, and if we need to answer 4 questions, this means that we should allocate 30 minutes for each question. How many of us do not do this and as a result, managed to answer only 3 questions and totally give up on the 4th question.
Our teachers would advise us that the above is not productive. If possible, do try to answer all four compulsory questions. By answering all four, we should have a better chance in passing our examination -- for those who often scrape thru their examinations.
It is the same as Feng Shui. What you had mentioned is only one part of the Feng Shui examination i.e. the Eight House theory.
But what about: the Shapes and Forms and Flying Star Feng Shui?
Thus, instead of unduly worrying only about the Eight House/Gua / Kua numbers, we should try to maximize our Feng Shui luck in as many other areas as possible!
As they say "No point in crying over spill milk! It does not do any good).
In addition to Feng Shui, (which is Earth Luck) we should also try to improve other areas such as Human or Man Luck.
With so many areas to improve on, we should not just give up hope on one factor -- only.

Dear Sophia,
What I meant is that one should not display 6-of-them on the same table or pair them up together.
But rather, there is no major issue if they are not ALL figurines but if there is a picture of them and a set of three figurines.
Thus I am talking about 2 sets of Fu, Luo & Shou. Much like identical twins : Fu Fu, Luo Luo & Shou Shou.

Dear Sophia,
So long as the altar table is of sufficient length (often proper altar tables fit the Feng Shui ruler measurement); there should not be an issue as to how many deities are placed on the table.
It also depends on the size of the deity and usually, as mentioned previously all of them should not be placed on the same height or level.
The rule of thumb is that one should place a reasonable number of deities one worships but bear in mind that there should if possible no two identical type of figurine such as two Guan Yin's etc... (Other than buddha figurines since there are lots of various buddha's so having a few buddha figurines is not an issue)
The most busiest time is the 1st and 15th lunar month at the Guan Yin temple; although these two dates are very auspicious, however, the temple can be very crowded especially on the 15th lunar month. This two days are good days. (But, try to be extra early on these two days).

Dear Sheila,
Since traditional Feng Shui has two schools: Shapes and form as well as Compass (Eight House & Flying Star); it is best to apply both to the home in relation to other factors like Grand Duke of Jupiter (Tai Sui).
If one is renovating or going to renovate the entire house, it is best to find an aupicious date to start renovations - this will do. And after the renovations, try to avoid any more work to sensitive sectors like NW, West and East. Therefore, this is the only consideration towards what not to do after a major renovation.
If one is going to do minor renovations and it happens to fall within any of the above three sectors, then, see if one can postphone the renovations only after the next Lunar new year - 2006 onwards.
Therefore for Grand Duke, the above are the most logical advice on it.
Warmest Regards,
CecilQuoteOn 2/13/2005 3:03:30 AM, Anonymous wrote:

Dear SP,
1. Before we go into the interior of the home, let us not forget that what is more important is the external Feng Shui of the home.
2. This is because the most effective Parent-String for the exterior: because there is a MS#8 at the facing of the home and that there is a WS#8 at the back of the home, if it is a landed property ideally; there is another landscape e.g. property that is at least 1 storey high facing the home to act as the mountain. And, if it is possible to have a water at the back of the landed property e.g. a swimming pool.
3. However for a condominium or apartment it is equally good if say the apartment is at low floor and at the facing direction, we can see another apartment of similar height as this apartment. Here, MS#8 is most effective.
4. However, for your home, if it is an apartment, one can still activate a symbolic mountain e.g. at the balcony e.g. stone landscaping but avoid a water feature, here. And in order for the parent string to be effective, where possible, the centrepoint of the home should not have a toilet and if possible also a parent string can be activated automatically if the home is more or less rectangular and not odd shaped.
Warmest Regards,

1. West - thisyear's location of Grand Duke or Tai Sui
Do notdistrubTai Suiat this location : Do not paint the walls or drill holes or hack the walls, here.2.East -avoid doing any renovations at this location. Every year, it is always the opposite wall of the Grand Duke i.e. if Grand Duke is at West, then one should avoid renovations in the East. And if say, Grand Duke is at North, then we should avoid renovations at the opposite side i.e. South.
3. North-west - This year, #5 or bad yellow star is located, here and best not to "distrub" the earth at NW given that #5 is at this location. Also check that if this is a bedroom, try to avoidBRIGHT YELLOW or BRIGHT RED in this room.
But do take note that isa general caution and the Flying star numbers: MS#, WS#, Base(Palace) # should be looked at before jumping to the wrong conclusion. For example, if the sector hasMS#6 with WS#6 and Base#1 as an example,#5 at this sector is a non-issue.
However, if any other star numbers like #5, #9 or #2 arein-any combination at this sector(NW), then dotake caution to try to cure it - especially ina NWbedroom or main entrance which is the mouth of the house also.

Hi
I am about to undertake a
commission of mosaic mirror
for my sister-in-law.
{She is renovating their new
home in accordance with Feng
Shui).If she is truly renovating in accordance with Feng Shui and not just any other terms in the name of Feng Shui, it is best to:-
1. Apply Flying Star Feng Shui in relation to the best color scheme at each specific location. And since she is renovating a specific toilet at a specific compass direction, then the color scheme should harmonise with the Flying star numbers taking into account also how much lighting is at this sector to determine whether it is appropriate to use darker or lighter colors.
QuoteThe bathroom has an easterly
aspect and the dominant colour
she has chosen is apple green.
My questions are:
1. Is there an issue if
the green tiles being used in
the mosaic are of a calibrated
nature or should they be
uniform? (there will not be a
dramatic design, more a
calibration with the grout
also being an ehancement to
the tiles in that it will be a
very pale green)Without applying proper Feng Shui, one might as well throw a dice or use one's feeling to see if the color suits that location.
There is no other way of reference given that there is zero knowledge or guideance from Flying star Feng Shui.
2. Is there a restriction in
the size of the work: ie.
mirror size + frame size = ?
Usually, the size and frame dimension is not a major issue.
Alternatively, there is equally no harm if the mirror size + frame size both conform to Feng Shui ruler measurements.
Therefore, I hope you don't mind me saying so, one think to quote "in the name of Feng Shui" but yet, non of the work carried out is truly in the traditional-way-of-Feng Shui does not gel at all. It is no wonder that many don't seem to get things right and often put the blame on "Feng Shui" which may give it a bad name.

Dear Anon,
Since Grand Duke resides at the West, this year, best not to as you had mentioned not to antagonise the Grand Duke, here.
Majority of normal homes don't often use "red dragons" to guard the home. Using dragons to guard the home is thus not common place.
Best to avoid placing one at the West entrance.
In terms of which elements to use at a specific sector, it is best to use the Flying star numbers to deduce whether a sector can or cannot use red rather than assume that because West = metal = white = tiger, then red = fire to be used here to control metal. Frankly, not too good a method to use.

Dear Mr Teng,
Usually, this is considered as an issue but in an apartment as you had mentioned below, not possible to relocate it.
For Feng Shui problems, often, there are two or more major flaws within a home to cause us problems. Thus on it's own, it is still acceptable. But if there are more issues in a home, it will add to the problems. Try to make sure that there are if possible, no other major issues in a home.

Dear Kathy,
For the purpose of drawing a Flying Star chart under the Compass School of Feng Shui, your home's facing direction should be considered as North. If the compass direction is exactly as drawn in the attachment, then it should be considered as Flying star chart N2 (352.5 to 7.4 degrees) or this is also a N2 0/360 degree home.

Dear Alex,
1. Actually, what it means is that for example: if one has a new home completed on or before 2004; but had only moved-in after 2004, then we can consider it as a Period 8 home.
2. Thus, it is not like someone else had moved-out of the home especially if it was built prior to 2004 and when we move it, it does not mean that the home is now a Period 8 home. This "old" home is still considered a period 7 or 6 .... etc.. home.
3. Therefore, it applies to homes that had being completed prior to 2004 and no one had yet stayed in it. And when we purchase and stay in it from 2004 onwards, we can than consider it a Period 8 home. Butit is not a period8 home under Para 2, above.

Dear Anon,
In
addition, how
does the
interior
look like? Did
the
previous owner
also did
any
renovations within
the
home?
Usually, by removing
the
roof,
the home would often
be
a
candidate of change to
a
new
period. But since it
was
done
8 years ago, your home
is
most
likely a Period 7
home
(1984
to 2003) instead of a
Period
8
home.
A home is
considered as
under
Period 8 if
the reno was
done
on or after
2004.

Hello, we
have
recently
moved
into a home
which
was built
in
1952 making
it a
Period
5
house,
however,
our
neighbour
just
told us
that
the
previous
owners had
put a new
roof
on
the house
approx. 8
years
ago.
They
replaced the roof
on
the
house
and just part
of
the
garage
(which is
attached
to
the
house). Does
this
change
the
period
of
our
house?
Thanks for
your
reply.

Dear Sophia,
So far, Guan Yin does not ever has a twin. So, looks like it is not that favourable to place two on the same altar!
Equally, so far, no one has yet to place 6 Fu Lu Shou together nor place two Guan Kong etc.. together.
Prior to the purchase of Guan Yin, usually, how one buys the type of statute depends on one's ba zi.
For example, if the person is a weak water person, then, it is highly recommended that an all white Guan Yin is used at home.
Or if a person is a weak wood person or a weak fire person, Guan Yin made of wood is favourable etc...
One Guan Yin can be placed next to a Buddha but both should not be on the same height or level. Since Guan Yin sits on a lotus leaf, it is best to place her higher than the buddha figurine. If there is an ancestor altar, the altar should be at the lowest level (thus lowest ranking) and not of equal height as the Guan Yin or buddha.
The elephant deity is of Indian origin and should be placed below Guan Yin or buddha figurine.
If one of Guan Yin has not has it's eyes dotted, there is no issue in keeping it away. But if one of the Guan Yin has it's eyes dotted, then best to sent it to the temple.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Sophia,
I must truly
say that you do
have extraordinary
items in
your home.
Honestly, I
have yet to see a
Kuan Yin figurine
in the pose
you had mentioned
below.
Yes, symbolically, it does
not
feel good to see Kuan
Yin
sitting with her leg
pointing
out. From a human aspect
i.e.
it does not feel good to
see
her leg sticking out!
Worst
still if she "encounters"
a
dirty old man or lecher
trying
to peep into her
"internal
garments!".
Yeah, best
to cover her legs
with a robe. Looks
more
decent!
