You can still use the proposed centrepoint and extend this to the family room.The rationale is because your "extended" room is tiny compared to larger spaces. However, if your "extended" room size is larger than 1,000 sq feet, then you can determine the centrepoint separately for this room.

Further to what I had mentioned, in a case of a middle house or even shop-house, but if this middle shop-house is facing a T junction, then it will be affected by bad qi. Please see picture, under the url below:- http://www.geomancy.net/events/ExxonMobil_FS_Talk/em_talk_1_slide_21.htm

1. Please refer to the example, below:- http://www.geomancy.net/events/ExxonMobil_FS_Talk/em_talk_1_slide_34.htm 2. It does not matter if the house is in the middle or at the side (or end). What matters is the shape and forms of the entire development. 3. In the above example, the corner unit home is entrapped by a higher "hills". Such a house can come to no good. 4. The bungalow house, at the lower, benefits from the entire terrace house due to the slope. Thus here, everyone in the entire row, may have their wealth drained towards the bungalow, house. 5. Thus the morale of the story is that there is no hard and fast rule as to what you had mentioned. 6. In fact, some of the principles of Shapes and Forms, has described the way a set of three homes on a plot of land in different configuration and the consequences on one or three of the units. Some consequences leads to "death" of the breadwinner. Some of these info, I remembered posting as far back in this forum as 1998. In one of these forum messages, I had cited a home sandwiched by two other homes at different levels. And a user, here also claimed that death had occured in such a home... 7. However, usually if all three homes are on the same level, same row and same height, have to look at qi in front of and the back of each plot for a valid assessment of concerns if any. Usual concerns include, T junctions, lamp posts, street signages - slicing the main door/gate or windows etc... etc... Quote: Anonymous wrote: I just heard from a neighbour that it not good feng shui for a middle house as it bears the burden. For terrace houses in a particular street, is it refering to the middle house of that particular road, even though there are lanes between the blocks? or is it refering to the house in the middle of each block?

1. Frankly if the sector only has a lone #2 not withstanding other stars which may already reduce it such as #6 etc... 2. #2 can be neutralised easily with one or two items. No need to overkill with so many "metallic" objects, there. 3. In case I forgot, to neutralise a sector especially with just one #5 (again not looking at the other two variables : Water / Mountain or even Base star) a modern analog "metallic" look clock can help to neutralise it say on the wall.

1. Please attachment to determine the actual centre of the home. This centrepoint corresponds also to the 2nd storey. 2. Although a proper assessment should be made to determine whether the water fountain is acceptable. However, under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, this water feature at the frontage of the main entrance is considered auspicious as it creates a "BRIGHT HALL" or "Ming Tang" at the frontage. 3. Such a "clear space" or bright hall is particularly good for qi to congregate at the frontage of the home. Thus from a Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, it is considered very good. Good homes always have some clear space at the frontage to "collect" qi. Quote: My questions are as follows: 1. Due to the unique floorplan, the extension of the garage, master bathroom, and the courtyard, I am not quite sure how I can determine the actual center of the home. 2. Also, there is a large decorative water fountain directly in front of the main door in the courtyard. I've denoted this on the floor plan as a grey circle. Is this bad feng shui?

1. Frankly, #2 is a lesser problem than #5. BUT still would try to avoid Yellow or Red. 2. Since you mentioned that it is costly to change the Yellow, then it is best to remove the RED painting. 3. To redress the imbalance caused by having the Yellow, then, try to see if you have any painting that has "metal" colours in it e.g. a bronze piece or painting with "gold" or silver colours within it - in addition with blue, or black or grey added would be good.

1. Please note that there are two types of sickness star(s): #5 misfortune/sickness while #2 = sickness. 2. Sometimes, it may be further fuelled by an additional #5 or #2 or even fuelled further by #9 fire (fire inflames #2 and/or #5). 3. If this part of the home is NOT a bedroom; for example if this part of the home is an area such as the living room or patio or dining area or open space (excluding study) then "moving metal" is the most effective (in general) to cure #5. 4. In this sector, if possible try to avoid: BRIGHT YELLOW colour. Or worse still if the sector has #2 with #5 and or #9 then avoid both BRIGHT YELLOW and BRIGHT RED at the same time.

Further to what I had mentioned earlier, you should do a SEARCH under this forum, amd you should be able to find this latest set of correspondence under the conference: FENG SHUI TIPS & GUIDELINES with this set of threads: Number Of Steps On Staircase ( 1 File) by: Anonymous Aka Mary Anne Macaraig (myfs_133973, Maryanne@pldtdsl.net

1. Robert had posted the final results of the combined steps. 2. Please refer to the most recent reply to you, where I had attached the full "picture" of the count. Please take note of it.

1. Appreciate, if can do a SEARCH under this forum for "steps". 2. As one forum member had posted a query and I have clearly posted some illustrations to her forum thread messages. 3. I believe the info should be clear enough.

1. OIC, it is a copper bowl (either medium or large). 2. Usually in general favourable dates to Chinese are either 15th day of each lunar month or 1st day of each lunar month if you do want to consider "activating" it. 3. Alternatively, you can check out your personal good dates for the next thirty days for free at the following URL:- dates.geomancy.net

1. In general, it is best to get a unit furthest away from the MRT line especially for units between 3rd to 6th storey. As the MRT train noise may penetrate thru some of the walls of apartments. (Noise pollution). 2. Usually in all developments, there are often good units and not so good units. Quote: I would like to know if the How is the feng shui for Yew Tee Residence coming up very near to the Yew Tee MRT.

1. Bigger picture where qi is suppose to come-into the home: Then under Flyng Star Feng Shui, one should determine where is the most "yang" qi that enters into the home. 1.1 Here, it may either be the main door i.e. standing inside the main door taking a reading out or usually it is the row of windows often with the most rooms where often again, the living room windows are. 2. For the interior layout plan, one should if possible look at some of these considerations: 2.1. Try to avoid kitchen especially the stove at North-West compass direction. Here, it is the centrepoint of the home, taking a reading towards NW direction. 2.2. Eight Mansions / Eight House to find homes with suitable facing directions /master bedroom sectoretc... 2.3. Try to avoid missing corner(s) especially at NW (affect career of Head of the House / Heaven Luck - and also affect husband's mood and less likely for flower of romance out of marriage) or SW (indirect water wealth spirit) 3. The best homes if happen that the balcony is at SW. A water feature, here, can bring fantastic results ($$$$) 4. Some homes have "bad" layout such as opening main door can see thru into the kitchen (without doors) etc... Quote: Just a quick check, for facing direction of a HDB flat, which is more crucial, the direction of the main living room window and door or the location of the Kitchen, Master bedroom, etc...? The reason i'm asking is that i'm choosing a flat soon and i'm not too sure which aspect is more critical as it will influence the decision to choose the flat. Also, to verify the direction of the place (for ex. kitchen or master bedroom) in the flat, we should take reference from the center of the flat using a compass right?

1. Based on the layout and exterior such as pool, family room at the South sector of the home; one should take advantage of this "facing" direction. 2. Here, based on your compass marking on the layout plan, if this home is a Period 8 (2004 onwards) home, it should be a S2/3 Flying Star home. Where the homecan really benefit from the double auspicous #8 at the South compass direction. 3. In additionthe pool is located at South / South-West sector of the home. Again, if the home is a S2/3 it can benefit with real waterthat straddles these two sectors. By the way, water at SW = indirect water wealth sector. 4.Thus, it does not matter that your home's main door is "East" facing. Even if oneuses this door, it is only temporarily, I mean the qi flow will still come either from the North or South. 5. If you are an "East" facing person then more so for you to benefit greatly if the home's qi can be at South. As mentioned above, South homes have better qi then North homes. 6. The idea, here is to make all your family's activityarea centred around the family room - instead of the location of the living room is. Thusmake full use of the patio, dining cumfamily room for all family activities. 7. Perhaps, the living room can be "converted" into a study or a "family" room and vice versa. 8. The number 436 can be interpreted via so many methods of numerology. And depending on the numerology method, the outcome can vary vastly. Quote: Can you guide me on some clarification, I understand that my front door needs to be facing East. The front door floor plan orientation faces East but the orientation of the house itself is North to South. The number of the house is 436 will this have an effect? Also comment what ifI move into a house with a North or South facing front door what effect will this have? Can I justorganise the internal rooms as it where a east facing house for good sectors?

Challenge 1: Yes, there are currently ready made altars that has both a roof and side panels and sufficient depth to shield the altar from the winds. Challenge 3: In addition, such an altar already has space built in below it for an "Earth god" Alternatively, one can get a carpenter to built a custom altar with the specific dimensions:- Standard height for any altar: 125cm to 128cm. If a piece of glass is to be placed on the altar, then go for 125cm. Width depends on your needs: 18cm to 23cm or 40cm to 43cm or 59.5cm to 69cm Length: 41cm to 43cm or 59.5cm to 69cm or 71cm or 89cm or 107cm or 148cm Challenge 2: Since, the entire wall at location marked B is pretty long, areas closer to the main door can be incorporated with shoe cabinet (further away from the altar). No major issue placing chair(s) on the same wall as the altar. Alternatively, revert to the next best option. Quote: Challenge 1: How can we remedy this? Is there a design for altar that 'blocks' the wind or should we get something to shield the candles or "you deng" and the spiral incense? Challenge 2: Due to the space constraints, may we place chairs against the same wall. Must we keep the wall clear of things? We were thinking of building a rackfor shoes and going-out stuff, behind the door on the same wall. Challenge 3: If we want to invite the 'Sky' and 'Earth' gods in too, will we be able to use the same position for 'Earth god'?

1. Frankly, the information provided is quite superficial. 2. If we are trying to apply the Ba Cai or Eight House concept, try to extend it further: 2.1 Try to draw or sketch a template of all family member's Eight House description and superimpose this to the layout plan:- 2.2 For the male and female breadwinner, check the influence in such areas as the master bedroom e.g. it is a good sector or extremely bad sector i.e. master bedroom is say your "death" sector... where are the toilets 2.3 Within the home, common but "fatal" concerns such as hopefully the kitchen or stove or sink is not directly located at the NW sector (Fire at heaven's gate) 2.4 Are there missing corners in the layout plan .. as missing corner(s) at specific areas have their significance. 3. There are more than the above to consider. 4. On the exterior, try to check or imagine whether is the house /apartment affected especially by the "dreaded" afternoon sun .. such as.. which room(s) are affected. (Morning sun can also be considered but this is not as - bad as the afternoon sun). 5. In general, for an East group person, and especially taking into consideration all and many more other factors; may consider a NE or SW home; since (in general - again) such homes are suppose to have some of the best qi under Period 8. Quote: Anonymous wrote: I'm a east group person in which these directions are not good for me as SW is a spook direction for me and

1. Locally, in Singapore, as we have 4 major religious groups; especially for multi-nationals and small to medium sized businessess; if these business deals with the "public" at large, often if not, such a figurine is never displayed in an office. (Perhaps also due to the respect of other religions e.g. Muslims, Hindus, Catholics/Christians, etc.. 2. In Singapore, such figurines are often displayed within a home e.g. the living room.. and seldom in an office as mentioned earlier unless the office itself deals with such objects or figurines directly. 3. These are some of the considerations when placing a buddha figurine in an office:- 3.1 Usually, it is large, it should be displayed on a display shelf on it's own or that this figurine takes centerstage of say a display table, with perhaps, a light shining above it. 3.2 Avoid placing the figurine, sharing the same wall as the toilet or pantry nor face it "looking" towards the pantry, toilet or store-cleaning room. 3.3 Avoid placing it facing your mum - directly (oppsite, facing her "seat") 3.4 Check that there is no beam above the figurine. 3.5 Avoid placing it with one side of it's body (e.g. shoulder) next to the corner of a wall. These are some of the considerations to take note. 4. In a predominantly western culture or country (city), there are perhaps more openess to display such an item than in the Far East, especially in cities like Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and even in Hong Kong.

In general, a professional commercial pilot should be considered as a "Wood element". Source: http://www.geomancy.net/talknotes/talknotes.htm Mon D. wrote: Good day gentlemen. I just have a simple question. What element would you classify the profession of being a commercial pilot?

1. Given the limited space in the living room, the best options are :- Ranking 1 (Best location): Either B or E Here, marking or location B is considered as the altar "sitting on a mountain; facing water (looking out of the window". For marking E, it is like having a "security post" just immediately "outside" all our bedroom (door) area Marking or location E can still be moved slightly further towards the "toilet area". But, you are correct not to place it or sharing the same wall as the toilet(s). Good choice. 2. Marking "C". If one have a "top-down" view, one can see the entire partition slicing the living room in half. It is like a knife cutting the living room (exactly in half). Considered inauspicious under this layout plan. For other layout plans, where it does not slice the living room or dining table, then it can still be considered. This marking "C" arrangement is very commonly found in Malaysian Chinese homes and quite alot of local Singapore (typical or known as "ah beng") Chinese homes. I believe, this is where, many Chinese get the idea from a temple. Where usually at a temple, we walk into the temple, and the gods are central, and facing the entrance door. However, there are many more Chinese who feel that for a home, if we do face the altar looking at the door, we are like employing security guards (in the form of a god or gods) to look after our house or condo unit. Thus, if we use this argument, then, it would seem "bad manners" to do so. 3. Markings A and D are last resort, as for practical reasons, should we install curtains, and if the altar is always lighted or joss sticks, it may accidentally cause a fire. Luckily, there are windows at either side of A and or D. If not, an altar should not be "cornered" where part of it is at a L shaped corner - not auspicious ie. one side is blocked by an 'L' or wall.

1. In general, it is acceptable to have a SMALL fish tank in the kitchen. 2. However, try to avoid the following:- 2.1. If the kitchen is at the North compass direction of the home; then it is best not to place the fish tank. 2.2. Try not to place the small fish tank directly opposite (facing) the stove. 2.3. Try to keep at least 1 feet distance between the small fish tank and the stove. Quote: Hi there! Would like to know if having a small fish tank in the kitchen is okay?

Quote: Quote: I am born in 23rd September 1982 at around 1pm. Using the online bazhi calculator, it indicates that I am a strong earth with 4 earth, 3 metal and 1 water elements. I do not have any fire or wood element. 1. The above area has more to do with your Five Elements Breakdown at the time of birth. Here, when young some parents or grand parents visit a geomancer bringing along your date and time of birth to the geomancer. 2. The geomancy will do an analysis and if done properly would come up with the same conclusion as the above. The geomancer will then try tofind good names for that person. 3. As the Chinese believe, from the start (new born), we can influence our life or the baby's life by giving that person a good name. 4. Thus, as I have mentioned, the above Five Elements breakdown traditionally has more to do with finding a good name. 5. In addition, each element is linked to specific parts of the body. Thus for example, too much fire element may suggest that when at old age, may lead to heart or brain problems. While lack of water may lead to kidney and sex organs. 6. Some people, do check and change their name (if they find that it is not very good). But caution: if one does not use that name onwards, does not make much use. For example, if one is constantly called: Dick, changing a new Chinese name does not help if it is not used. Quote: What will you advise to boost my career and wealth luck? Is a career in advertising, marketing and communication suitable for me? Should I increase fire and wood element since I lack of them? In general, a strong earth person's career choices are: 1. Metal career 2. Wood career 3. Water career No as mentioned earlier, the first section above deals more with Five Elements breakdown at birth. Thus increase of fire is not beneficial to a strong earth person. The "increase of fire" should have been considered when chosing abirthname or future selection of name. You may consider increasing : Metal and Wood element. Water is also acceptable

Yes, one will be affected especially by the m5 at that sector also. while w7 has more to do with "loss of wealth". Hopefully, your office uses "cool daylight" lighting above your work space. If it is "warm daylight" then, check to see if it is possible to "change" it. In addition, avoid bright yellow and bright red items such as file folders etc at your work space. Try to hang a set of six coins in your cubicle. And if possible, purchase one of those bronze hulu and place it at your work table. I just started work at a new office which is NW1 facing in Period 7. TheNW sectorthat I sit in has the following flying star: m5, w7, b8. In June, I fell very sick when the yellow star #5 flew into this sector, probably also aggravated byillness star #2as the annual star. Does the m5 and w7 have an impact as well? What cures can I put in place to control both the #5 and #7 stars in this current Period 8? Would be grateful for your advice.

In general, based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, it is favourable for the whole building to have "clear-space" at the "frontage" and a solid object or mountain, behind it. Of course, another building can be the support. However, this is a general statement and does not mean that all buildings of such a nature may begood. Quote: Based on the design of the whole building,can we consider that the unit have a good backing aka mountain? Or does the "mountain" needs to come from another entity e.g. another building?
