Dear Arlia, Can u attach the layout plan, as it was not attached earlier. I will comment basically on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jen, Thank you for the detailed information. Based on your information, it looks like a geniune: non-issue. So long as your main door and windows are not `threated'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Utpal, Please see below:- Under Ba Zi, if one is a weak water or strong fire; it is best not to have too much of the fire element. Nowadays, there is too much commercialisation in Feng Shui to the extent that even pyramid objects which was one used by another ancient civiliation : Egypt and Maya's. In China, we do not seem to see a pyramid. And because of this, it was felt that products such as a pyramid `cure' or `enhancement' is more of a gimmick. Please do not mistaken it with a Pagoda. In the past, Pagoda's are often placed above water veins especially lower down the river to neutralise (underground water) sha qi. It should not be construded as a pyramid shape. There is a distinction between `Earth Luck' Feng Shui and `Human Luck'. Feng Shui is specifically used to enhance beneficial qi or neutralise sha qi. All these things about placing e.g. 9 roses or 99 or 999 or 9999 roses are more of `man or human' luck. Perhaps to make us feel good? It is like a baby sucking on a baby teet or comforter. All these has nothing to do with Feng Shui or earth luck. Many people also like to `believe' that their homes MUST have a specific wealth corner. Some would feel discomfortable or even distressed if their house has none of such corners. The easiest way in the past or from the 1980's onwards is for an author to write stores about sectors such as Romance = SW, Career = North etc.... It so so easy for anyone to write such books and make money! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, You can convert it to the format used by our system. For example: Determine which floor / storey; your apartment is. If it is located at 2nd floor than use input #2-46 with (B) where B should be converted into a number. For example: A = 1, B = 2, C = 3. Therefore, you should use:- #2 - 462 Input this into the field of the above report. Another Example: If the address is: 8 floor /storey, 46E; then the converted address should be #8 - 465 Where E = 5. In fact, the " Vertical Flying Star " concept is said to have originated, first from your country: Hong Kong. Which has a higher density of high rise as compared to Taiwan or Singapore ... very much earlier than these countries. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Choon Leng, 1. This is not Feng Shui. 2. Under numerology or the science of it; there are many varied interpretations. 3. And it is very diffcult to say for sure which numbers are considered `auspicious'. 4. Given the fact that many years back, in Singapore, I do remember telephone numbers with 4 or 5 digits. Nowadays, HP numbers are 8 digits etc... 5. In modern times, with today's HP, we do not really need to remember a family member or friend's telephone/hp number. For example, anyone sending us an SMS or call us, we can simply `copy' this information into our HP's address book. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear All, 1. Attached please find another sample of the pie-chart method. 2. Under this example, one can clearly see each sector is `labelled' showing the sector of influence. 3. Overall, I personally prefer to apply the `pie-chart' method over the 9-grid method. 4. For example, one can even prepare a pie-chart frame and print it on a transparency. And this transparency can be placed on-top of say an A4 sized layout plan. - Very effective! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kelvin, 1. There are two methods:- The `9-grid' that you had mentioned or a `pie-chart' method. 2. For your case, it is much easier to apply the pie-chart method. 3. In the attached illustration: 3.1 At the East cardinal compass direction, the sector for the pie-chart at East (E) should be as shown: Where blue coloured X to Z is = (equal) to Z to Y. And the exact compass direction at East (E) is at the mid-point of the pie. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Can I clarify the following points: 1. The neighbour's mirror - facing your property: Is there perhaps a lone tree growing in your compound that seems to slice thru the window or second floor of your neighbour? Or alternatively, is there a private street lamp within your compound that slices into the second floor window of your neighbour? 2. When you stand at the main entrance, looking outside; can you see the mirror? Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear All, 1. Further to what I had mentioned, please do a SEARCH under this forum for " cul de sac ". 2. Please go thru the correspondence on cul de sac under this topic:- Conference Name: Free Advice Forum A series of correspondence under this heading:- House curve to a cul de sac Several correspondence between 5/14/2002 to 5/22/2002. In the above correspondence, I had attached some illustrative sketches on cul de sac and possible `cures'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Emily, 1. If you have a sketch, feel free to upload to the forum for confirmation. 2. Often, this is not a major issue since most (former 3-room flats) have their toilets at the `back' of the house) - Usually one attached to the master and the second toilet sharing the same wall and close-by. 3. 4 sets of such toilets does not necessary mean that it is inauspicious. 4. Often, the benefit of the older HDB flats are that it is mostly rectangular - a good shapes and form. As well as the exterior of he building is a `stable' earth element shape. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. In a past posting on this forum, I had posted some sketches showing some homes around a Cul De Sac need not necessarily; be bad. 2. Often, the Cul De Sac can be tamed with the right angle or position of:- In addition, it is acceptable to use red front door especially if your main door is under threat. This is where under the destructive cycle of the Five elements concept: Fire destroys or tame metal. (Metal being the top-view shape of the cul de sac). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Ceci, Yes, nowadays, many of such clocks such as the Seiko, Citizen, Hosenki brands use a plastic decorative pendulum that is spray painted `gold'. Given that some of these makes sound, Ipersonally feel that these type of `pendulum' clocks and the slient ones that makes noice are not really appropriate. Can consider them as decorative items. For the `cuckoo type' of clock; more is need to understand if they can help especially to neutralise bad yellow earth #5 or a combintions of it with other bad earth. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Alan, 1. In my opinon, this edge has minimal impact. 2. Even if there is an impact zone, I strongly believe the `impact' zone is approximately 2 feet from the edge. 3. If you do not move the bed slightly away, it is still OK. But if you want to, can move it further by a few inches (as shown in the attached illustration. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Yes, very often it is very sad to learn that one has to borrow money to do it up for the sake of " Feng Shui ". Nowadays, Feng Shui in it's name sake has come to a very sad state of affairs. Often, these people, simply don't care about others; other than to make a quick buck. Nowadays, majority of FS practitioners are only concerned within the 4 walls of a house or apartment. In fact, Feng Shui is not just about the interior, alone. For example, if the exterior form is not favourable, no amount of enhancement within the house can do wonders. 1. If our house / apartment is like a mini car; no matter how, it cannot seat say 6 adults. If so, we have to buy an MPV. 2. As practitioners, we also have to put ourselves in the shoes of the owners. 3. More importantly, first look out for `leaks' both external and interior. 4. Personally, I totally agree with you that it does not make sense to spent so much. The attach caricature, tells it all about borrowing... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear All, 1. Symbollically, it is not favourable to have stripes that run vertically towards the main entrance door. It is like two lines slicing towards the main door. 2. Since this is uncommon, and there are not many cases to fall back on i.e. to confirm that it is inauspicious; why not be on the safe side? 3. To find out whether the number of steps is auspicious or inauspicious, please do a SEARCH in this forum for " stairs ". Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Yes, a flat mirror with appropriate dimensions are often placed on the advice of temple priests. If your door is within 1 to 2 metres away from your neighour's this can be a threat to your home. Do try to estimate the size of the mirror. Often it is 8 inches by x inches. Sometimes, it can be very large i.e. 17 inches by 17 inches (43cm by 43cm). Please check: 1. Do you have an altar? If so, is it currently facing outwards of your main door. Such that when one steps into your home, (main door) it is in full view? 2. Is there any poison arrow coming from your home. For example an arrow-head signage or main door with arrow-head grille gate? 3. Any perceived poison arrow coming from your unit `aimed' towards your neighbours? 4. Have you or your family - at logger-head (or had quarrelled with your neighbour? Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Further to what I had mentioned, please see attached example. Do take note that it is not necessary for SOME homes to use screens. And the attach picture should be considered a general example or broad example. 1. Purple line - manipulation of qi flow (or symbolic qi flow towards the centrepoint or the heart of the house. 2. Red - proposed location of screen. Please take note that ideally, the screen should hug or be around the same level as one side of the corridor as shown by a straight blue line. 3. Here, a half height glass panel is acceptable since, it can help to difuse light towards the main door area. 4. Since the master bedroom door is at the end of the corridor, the screen should not be seen to cut into the master bedroom door. 5. Please refer to attached examples: 5.1 File: general-placementscreen.gif This file shows a generally acceptable position for the screen. 5.2 File: general-placementscreen1.gif This file shows an example where the screen should not be placed. As it is symbolic of slicing into the master bedroom door. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- It is good to be of full length. But if this is not practical ($$$) or not possible, then at least, it should be up to the height of the level of the main door. Yes; it can have open shelves on one side for display. But at the lower half, if it is a cabinet, avoid placing shoes here. Yes, half glass is often used especially if the main door is furthest away from light source. Another important point is that a proper location should be chosen. For example, try to make the living room and dining room into two separate "entities". Avoid it `slicing' into a bedroom door - especially if it is placed exactly at the middle of a corridor. Try to, where possible `hug' a wall or level to the wall closest to the dining area. Or if the living room is quite large, then, it can hug the level of the corridor wall closes to it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Dominique, Please see below:- You can find the information at the following url:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-colours.htm A good example is the " Finding a Good House Report " at http://www.geomancy-online.com It looks into three dimensions:- 1. A 360 degree overview of the Flying Star or Xuan Kong Feng Shui at every main entrance of each of the 24 directions (mountains). 2. In addition, the Eight House directions is also compared with Para 1 and Para 3. 3. Personal Ba Zi of the breadwinner i.e. element and strength in relation to direction of the main entrance. 4. Overall, the best house is one where all 3 (Para 1, 2 and 3) are favourable to the breadwinner. 5. If this is not possible, then at least, Para 2 and 3 are suitable or mildly suitable. 6. Often, for Para 1, it can still be cured i.e. Xuan Kong Feng Shui - bad influences can be neutralised. 7. The main objective is to focus on the exception. For main door direction, we base it on:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-cecilcompass.htm Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. If we look at the foundation or basics, even sites like Geomancy.net applys the five elements concept to the website. 2. For example, the main page or home page of this site is designed to fit our Ba Zi. 3. Even the logos are tailored to our ba zi. 4. Geomancy University's logo is also based on the combination of Metal with water combination. 5. Our Free resources or learning resources are in Green or wood element to symbolise growth. 6. In fact there are many more examples, even within this website. Colour schemes are also blended to harmonise with the various Five elements - element combination. 7. Although, this is not a proven area - of use, since the internet is relatively new; there is relatively NO HARM trying to experiment or apply the Five elements concept. 8. This website has been on since 1996, and we have been designing our logos, pages etc... since then based on the Five elements concept. 9. Therefore, there is really nothing new nor a secret. That, Five elements are or has been used here or may be used by other websites. 10. Looking back, overall, we have been quite successful. But here, it is difficult to place it on Five Elements or other reasons. 11. If one looks carefully, on the productive sequence of the five elements concept, the colours starting from Metal (white / gold), next Water (blue, black or gray) and Wood (green or brown) - quite closely resemble an interior decorator's harmonising colour schemes. For example white often go with blue. Earth tones, often goes with red pink or purple etc... In some of the past messages on this forum, in-fact, this question had been asked as far back as 1997. In fact, if one search "hard enough", many of the questions recently asked are already available. This is why, for the most often asked questions, I have asked users to try and do some homework themselves. This is not much to ask since it is simply clicking on SEARCH and typing in a few key words. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Utpal, 1. Although, a `solid' or actual pyramid can be used, it is often not practical to do so. 2. This is because, the pointed tip of the pyramid is not exactly ideal -- if it is facing locations like the sofa or seating location. 3. A crystal pyramid can be used if it has light or light shines below it (upwards). light represents - fire. 4. Actually a simplier solution is that if you need to introduce the Fire elment, why not e.g. use red / pink coloured curtains or walls painted pink / red or purple. 5. However, as you have only looked at your home based on just the Gua, there can be a possible double edged sword if Fire element is wrongly introduced:- 5.1 It is unfavourable if you are a weak water or Strong fire person. 5.2 Under Flying Star Feng Shui, there are say #5 and #2 (strong BAD earth elements) Under the productive sequence, introducing Fire, may inadvertently fuel more bad earth. And there is additional probability that a sector may also have bad wood elements such as #3 and #4. If there are and incombination of #5 and #2, adding Fire element can help bridge this bad wood and earth gap. And cause more problems: Wood (bad wood) -> introduce Fire element -> fuels additional Earth (bad earth) A recipie for disaster! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. If you can try to provide a sketch. 2. Firstly, a screen is not just about blocking qi (although) it is one of the reasons. 3. There are two other reasons: FIRST:- A.1 For an `L' shaped living cum dining room, it will give each rooms additional rectangular form. A.2. Even if the living cum dining room is elongated, it will also try to make it `more rectangluar' i.e. two rectangles. SECOND:- A.2. If properly positioned, it can help to further `meander' qi or seem to encourage to flow towards the centrepoint and often on to the `other side' which is often the bedrooms and vice versa. I am very concerned about your statement below:- I like to clarify that what I had mentioned cannot be taken as a blanket cover for all homes to use screens. It has to be based on individual homes. As no two homes are alike. If in doubt, please sent in a sketch of one's home to confirm. The reason for saying so is: In your `fix' you used a screen. If the main door area is already dim. And if the screen cuts out further light to the main door; sometimes it may not be favourable to do so. Sometimes, panel glass can be used to allow light to flow towards the main door area. At times, if the screen is placed wrongly, it would seem as a knife `cutting' into the room door(s). The maxim is often true: " Too much knowledge is (or maybe) a dangerous thing.

Further to what I mentioned, we should not succumb to two situations:- 1. Auto-suggestion If we were to scold a donkey "stupid", the animal would not have this thought. But if we were to scold a child, often enough that he/she is "stupid" one day, the child may take on this unfortunate circumstances. 2. Self-fulfilling Prophecy If we think too much or fear too much, as a result, we may become as it is or `like that' or everthing can go wrong, it will! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Janna, Please see below:- The key to understanding the Grand Duke is:- 1. Do not touch him. Therefore, in particular the wall, it is best to avoid - touching him. For example, repainting this wall. 2. Do not disturb him. Here; for example if the garden is just outside this location, it is best not to dig earth. Or in the interior of the house, at this sector, not to hack wall or floor tiles. Or do substantial drilling at this spot. 3. Otherwise, moving furniture or couch or sofa, can still be done. For example, two reasonable adults should be able to move the furniture. 4. If not, go to any of the handy fix or D.I.Y. store and purchase `friction' free e.g. circular leg supports that allows one to slide the furniture effortlessly. 5. We should not be or try not to be too worried about being at the location of the Grand Duke or do any other normal activity at his area other than those mentioned under Para 1 and 2. 6. The rest of your information is too much for me to digest. Please see the guideline under " Samples that were not replied to ". 7. Please take pity on me; as these raw data, needs lots of processing. And, I love to live a fruitful and productive life:) 8. More importantly, I reply only to pre-analysed information. 9. If you have a query please make sure that it is properly worded highlighting the exception. For example, please see recent sample of questions posted by another forum member " Dominique Nguyen ". The questions posted are to the point and focus on exceptions. Or clarifications. Warmest Regards, Cecil
