Dear Sor Lan,
Please see below:-QuoteOn 4/8/2003 6:27:02 AM, Anonymous wrote:
Hello Master Cecil,
I've read the reply from you
to user Anon earlier on with
regards to bedroom
feng shui. My case, I'm
sleeping in a room with my
daughter. She is
sleeping on a double deck bed.
Her bed is parked against a
wall with a her
sleeping position facing the
window and her legs when
sleeping, facing a
cupboard.
Before touching on with your question, in the past, I have mentioned on two issues:
1. double decker beds
=====================
Previously, there were some concerns that double decker beds are unhealthy for the young.
But, in my opinion, and also that many (many) people have actually slept in a double decker bed, there is really no issue here.
Some FS practitioners spell out the notion that the person sleeping at the lower decker is like having a beam above their head.
I personally do not agree with this argument. This is because unlike a beam (concentrated) at the specific spot, the upper bed is relatively flat and does not exert an unequal press below it.
As mentioned above, there are lots of healthy adults who because of space constraints, had successfully, grown up healthy.
2. a bed must be raised
=======================
Some FS practitioners `swear' that one should sleep on a raised bed to allow qi to circulate below the bed.
Again, this is simply speculation. Many responsible parents, prefer that their young e.g. of 1 year to 6 or more years sleep on a simple floor bed. Here, the child can simply walk to their bed. And it also minimize any falls from the bed to the ground.
In fact, based on your description, lots of children also sleep in this similar position. And I personally feel that there is no issue here.QuoteFor me, I'm sleeping on a
third slide floor mattress.
My slide floor
mattress is parked against a
wall but for my sleeping
position, my back head
is facing a door (door is
closed at night) and my legs
are facing the
window. May I ask, whether
this is bad sleeping direction
for me? How
about my daughter, is her
sleep position good/bad for
her?
This position is ok. So long as the legs do not point towards the door. If so, this is considered inauspicious or `the coffin position'.
Many Feng Shui practitioners especially the traditional school of Feng Shui `requires' that the bed be positioned such that the head face the health or longevity sector.
This advise is common amongst all East/West Group (Eight House pratitioners).
However, as most of us are aware, a small child often toss and turn and their head can face all sorts of directions in any given night. Who is so cruel as to tie their own child down facing a good direction! This is indeed very cruel - the least. Perhaps, if there is a society for the prevention of cruety to children, one should report the parents to this society!QuoteMy room shape left me with no
choice that I need to sleep in
this
unfavorable position. Any
remedy for my sleeping
position? I've read
before that if one sleeps
without headboard, there will
be no support for
the person. Can you explain
what kind of support that they
are referring to
in feng shui?
It would be indeed nice to have the head of the bed against a wall. This often means that the bed is in a good position where the persons on the bed can often see who is coming in or out of the room.
Often there is a wall prior to the windows above it. And in such a situation, there is often a support already.QuoteI've also read that according
to feng shui, if one
children's room is placed
opposite the parents' room,
the children/child will tend
to be logger
heads/very in a not good
relationship with parents.
May I ask is it true?
For me, seems like quite true,
my seven years old daughter
tends to be
logger head with me, she
seldom listens to me and she
tends to make me
angry. Any remedy to enhance
our relationship? But my
husband is sleeping
in the master bed room right
opposite facing my daughter's
room. But my
daughter likes my husband a
lot, this doesn't quite tally
with my earlier
saying. Hmmmmm, I'm confused.
Yes, I have often encountered such a situation. Last year, there was this house where the bedroom door of the parents room is facing the teenager (son's) room. Often, the son is rebellious against the father. Maybe this is coincidence.
But under symbolism in Feng Shui, there is a `cure'. This is where the door knob key holes are painted red. Where, then these two doors close, it is said that the `red eye' will ensure that parties from both rooms look eye to eye or (agree with each other).

Dear Mr Low,
One has to take extra care when using water positions in the home:
1. If the breadwinner's ba zi is weak fire or strong water element, water in a home can cause more problems.
2. Specifically, one must understand the two major purpose of the use of water:
2.1 In a real life water fall, it is because of the friction of water with air that brings beneficial results.
2.2 A water feature is useful to provide clear space for the frontage of a building. This is because, nothing else can be built above the water feature or pond i.e. providing clear space.
3. Normally, when placing a water feature outside of the house, check to see if the property is sloping or not. And shapes and forms has to be reviewed.
4. Your situation is akin to trying to work out solutions to beautify the deck of a leaking ship. What is not `seen' is the leaks that may cause such a problem.
5. Given that you and your neighour's home face the same frontage, most likely, the clue can be gotten from Flying Star Feng Shui.
6. I strongly believe that your home has major imbalances with the #3 and #4 (both belong to the disputes /quarrels / legal entanglement stars. And these elements belong to `bad wood' elements.
Under the Five element concepts, adding water (either real water or virtual water e.g. blue black or grey) may seriously inflame these stars. Thus, becareful where you place water.
Since under the productive sequence of the Five elements:
Water supports or fuel Wood (bad wood).
At locations that have #3 or #4 or multiples of it, one must therefore, be reminded not to fuel further bad wood by adding water. Neutralising agents include the metal element e.g. white or fire element (provided there is no bad wood of #2 or #5 at these sectors.)

Dear Cecil,
Thank you for answering my
previous question. I have
another question that hope to
hear your advice. How can we
minimize the negative effects
delivered by hostile neighbor
using feng shui? My neighbor
places lots of sharp
equipments on the shared fence
where the sharp points are
directly pointed at us. Does
this have bad chi flow to us?
I understand that putting yang
water near the wall share with
the neighbor will help. How
many yang water I should put
and where can I put them i.e.
in living hall? master
bedroom? car porch? The next
door neighbor is one who
purposely like to invade and
take advantage on our
property. I have been
tolerating and just wish to
put a stop on this stressful
situation. I also have had
advice from my lawyer that I
have 100% winning chances. If
I get involved with legal
preceding, would this render
my house and family bad feng
shui for the future? As I
understand it is better we
don't get involve with legal
sues.
Thanks

hi i would like to ask a few
questions.
1)can a personQuotesleep with his head pointing
towards the door
1. It is not preferred to do so. The worst senario is to have the legs face the door. As this is considered as a `coffin' position. As Chinese (dead body) is often placed facing the main door. And during the funeral procession, it is carried out of the down (legs first).
2. As for the head pointing towards the door, this is still as bad. Other than, the concept that one cannot see who enters the room. (Symbolic of a thief coming into the room holding a knife). This second point or para 2, dwells on a commonsense approach.Quoteand under a
window?
Often, to fully utilise the bedroom, the bed can be placed against a wall and the head pointing towards the window.
This is acceptable as often light filters into the room. And for those who love to lie on the bed to read, this light source is comforting to the eyes.
The only `drawback' is based on commonsense approach i.e. if one lives in an apartment: and if there is no safety grille, a bed next to or close to a window can be dangers to a young infant child who could have climbed it and fall out of the window. Otherwise, this is not a major issue.
2) i have read thatQuotesitting with your back facing
a window is bad because it
means lack of support. the
remedy given is to cover the
window using a shade. however
if there is no shade, can i
just close the window?
Recently, I heard from a friend that, this senior officer of a company, who feared that he could be retrenched seeked a Feng Shui practitioner to look at his office.
It was really shocking to learn that the practititoner advised him to block the back (windows) and infact surround his entire room will `walls' i.e. high partitions. The only remaining space happens to be the door into this room.
This is quite ridiculous senario, just because, he has a back row cabinet and a window behind his desk.
Guess what == not long after he followed the advise, he was retrenched anyway!
Often in a house, there is still a wall followed by the window. And one still has backing of such a `wall'. No issue.
And often this layout makes sense because, natural light filters into the room, making reading or work more comfortable. What could be worse if one's study room faces west. And it is akin to wearing a pair of sun glasses to work.Quote) if
i am 'big wood', sleeping in a
room full of electrical
appliances is better or
sleeping in a room full of
metal shelves?
Often this is not an issue. We are on this earth for a limited span of time i.e. 60 to 90 years old. And, why not enjoy all the creature comforts?
Many of us have our tolerance level.
For example, it is often said that when we sleep, our spirit leave our body. If it sees a mirror, it will get a shock! But what happens if the spirit, leaves the body, wants to `comb' hair before going off?
This is like the tale of - not allowing a TV set in the bedroom. So far, we have not read that someone or known cases of people dying just because a tv set was placed in-front of them.
4)i have readQuotethat it is not advisable to
sleep with a mirror facing or
near me. does a computer
monitor consider a mirror? if
yes, can i remedy by using a
cloth to cover it?
As mentioned above, this is all about tolerance level.
5) isQuotethere any 'harm' done if i sit
with a fan mounting on a wall
behind me blowing across the
room?
If a room has lots of electrical items, the room can be quite warm. It is fine to have a fan circulate in the room.
However, for the Chinese, it is often said that one should not have a fan continously blowing against one's body. No good (or wind). But having a fan circulating in a room or house is good. In fact, this is a key success factor in a home.
This is where, one can perfectly place our furniture etc.. optimum based on Feng Shui but if there is no `air' circulating in the home, many of the locations become dead qi.
This is why, some of the richer people, do turn on aircon. With proper maintenance of aircon, the air circulated by a well maintained aircon can help circulate qi all around a house.
Perhaps, more importantly, I would say " taboos are around us everywhere. It is what we choose to make out of our lives is more important ".
I often have a distaste of people, buying all sorts of figurines etc... for example, 3 legged toad, laughing buddha etc... more importantly, it does not cost anything or (much) to hug one's child, or have a friendly family atmosphere!

Cecil

Dear Anon,
Here are some considerations for a patio:-
1. The best form (shape) is rectangular or square shaped.
2. The side wall or railing of the patio should not be fully clad with stone. Preferably, made of wood and to allow air to circulate thru it and into the home.
Circulation of air in a home is one of the keey sucess factors for a home where qi can circulate into the home bringing in fresh air.
3. In particular, avoid a pond (especially a circular one) at the west corner of the patio especially if this is the west compass direction or known as the white tiger location. A pond here is symbolic of the white tiger's open mouth - ready to gobble down it's prey - thus inauspicious.
4. For the support structure such as the column, stone is acceptable. But it would not be favourable to have it made of total stone i.e. inclusive of the railing or deck.
The rationale is because, if the patio is west facing, and if there are no trees or neighbour's house to block direct afternoon sun, the stone structure can easily be heated up.

Dear Anon,
1. If you can, try to close the window with the day curtain.
2. Often, some people, hang an open scissors at the window grille (symbolic) of `cutting-open' it or not caged.
3. If both your house and the neigbhour's house is in close proximity, then for the moment, it is still better to:
3.1 First choice hang a convex ba gua mirror facing the `threat'.
3.2 An alternative is to hang a mirror but often this mirror should be rectangular 8inch by 8 inch mirror.
Until the neighbour remove the scissors, then it is best to protect your home. (No choice!)

Hi Cecil,
1. Need your advice on the

2. Understand is bad to have
tiolet in the center of the

No, it is not necessarily true that all new HDB apartments have toilet at the centrepoint. There are many which have a bomb shelter at or close to the centrepoint.Quote3. Is it really so bad, even
if 01tiolet have got 1 wall as
the external wall and the

Thanks.
Often, a toilet at the centrepoint is considered as one major leak. It is akin to having a fractured arm even before moving into the home.
It is because of such a leak plus additional leaks such as the house is not suitable to the breadwinner etc.. that will give problems later to the breadwinners.
I must stress therefore, that often; it is not just one leak but several leaks that cause a problem.

Dear Master Cecil:
I have read the web page at

very helpful in determining

I need your expertise in
analyzing the unique situation
of my house.
1. Interior Feng Shui Qi of my
house, which is a landed
property:
From the center point of the
house, the frontage of my
living room is in the NE
direction and the middle point
of my front door falls exactly
on the dividing line between
NE and East (I know how to use
a compass and a protractor to
get an exact reading). I am
indecisive to tell whether I
have a NE house or a East
house.
For your information, my
living room is on the front
side of my house. Only one
side of the living room has
windows. The windows are
again at the front side of my
house.
2. Exterior Feng Shui Qi of my
House including the Plot of
Land:
My house faces the round
circle part of a cul-de-sac.
Your instruction says that the
facing of the house should
take from standing at the Main
Gate of my house looking
outwards to the "road".
In my situation, I should look
outward to the cul-de-sac? Or
I should look outward to the
road that comes to the
cul-de-sac?
3. My four good sectors and
four bad sectors are
influenced by the interior Qi
or the exterior Qi? Which Qi
has the dominant impact?
Thanks for your guidance.

Dear Carla,
1. Frankly, first and foremost, check your business model. Often, Feng Shui is not a cure all for many of our woes (or business problems).
2. Instead of concentrating on using material things to enhance or give us a psychological boost, it is time to sit down and re-look at your business model, first.
3. Please see below:-QuoteOn 3/31/2003 7:15:17 PM, Anonymous wrote:

Often, the bamboo flute is placed over a concrete overhead beam to neutralise it. This is where, wood element (the flute) is used to crush or destroy or neutralise concrete/ or earth.
For a slanted ceiling, there is no much one can do here other than to see if one can move away from this location.Quotehave a treasure toad on my

Frankly, Feng Shui is not a cure all. Many of the items that you have referred to is felt to be that belonging to " Man or Human " Luck.
For example, many of us would want to believe that our home has a `wealth corner'. This is to make us feel more comfortable or give us hope or (Man Luck).
If you have placed your desk facing your auspicious direction; already, and see no result, as mentioned above, try to relook your business model and marketing strategy.

Dear Anon,
1. It is good to hear that all the tables are already setup. This is the key issue. Since, it would not be good if you actually see your partition torn down and see your table move over to the new location.
2. As your new table is ready, wait for your colleague to move-out. For your move. If you do not have much items, simply place it into boxes such as the paper copier empty boxes. And bring all of them at one go to the new work-top. This is relatively no issue as compared to Para 1.
3. This portion is not Feng Shui but more of a belief:-
When you do begin to move; just stroke your back a few times and mumble to yourself ie. "to your child" that we are moving to a new and better work-table.

In such a situation, you can

What you can do is; pack up
all your personal belongings
into a box, place it at a

move/removal of the table) but
once ready, then occupy your

Hi Cecil,

I've just started a new job 4

weeks when the fetus is
forming). Is that true ??
I am in great dilema ......
First, I can't announced my

I do, I couldn't possibly ask
not to move out of the current

Dear Utpal,
Flying Star Feng Shui uses the common lowest denominator: The Five elements concept. (Yin and Yang is higher up under this pyramid).
Pillars of destiny also uses the Five elements concept. Often, it is crucial to find out what is one's element and strength e.g. weak wood person.
If this has been determined: for a weak wood person:-
Favourable elements are: Water (blue, black or grey) and Wood (green or brown).
Unfavourable elements are: Fire (red, pink or purple) and Metal (white or gold).
The wealth element of a weak wood person is: Earth Earth (yellow, cream or beige). But take note that this wealth element is not favourable to a weak wood person. It is good for a strong wood person.

Dear Wasis,
It is best to scan the entire home to check on:
1. White
If the walls are white in colour (white represents metal) no additional cure is needed.
2. Water element
If there are water positions at a specific sector. Or if there are relatively large amounts of blue, black or grey at a sector that has particulary lots of #3 or #4 (bad wood)
Or where the year has bad #3 or #4; since water helps wood, it is best to see if we can avoid adding water element here.
If there is too much `water' element here, then, additional cure should be used to control the bad wood #3 or #4 or multiples of it.
3. Wood element
At a location that has bad #3 and #4. In addition to water, we should not have too much `wood' at the location. If it is a simple plant, tnen remove it.
Although adding wood to wood is not as bad as water, too much combination of these at a sector with #3 and #4 will not be good.
If it cannot be removed, then a set of six coins should be used at the location to balance it.
4. Fire element.
At locations with bad #5 and #2 bad earth, it is detrimental to add fire. Since fire will help fuel further especially the #5.
In addition, if the sector has the Earth element, check to see if there is no additional combinations of Fire element and Earth elements at a location that has a #5 or #2 or multiples of it.

Dear Anon,
1. Hopefully, the red string does not stain or release red colour. Else simply rinse it with soap and water and leave it to dry.
2. In my opinion, although 3 represents wood and under the destructive process of Five elements concept:
Metal destroy wood, often, this have very little success.
It has more to do with `ren chai' or human luck. We want to believe in feeling lucky, that's all. Equivalent to the notion put to us by many Geomancers' that all of us have a wealth corner in a home. It is only to give us a sense of satifaction.
For those who have watched Chinese period dramas or shows - and see the furniture arrangement, have anyone yet to see a show with an owner telling us that they have a wealth corner?
Real Feng Shui or earth luck has to do more with the external environment, site, land and building rather than all these material goods.
I have often mentioned that instead of buying figurines, it is even better to use that money to invest on one's children or hug one's children more. Human relationships is much better than all the material goods that we buy, and go dusty.

Dear Anon,
There are two dimensions when looking at the placement of a fish tank:
1. Shapes and Forms
Often, the advise is to place it on the same wall along (but not close to) the main door. (Around the main door location)
Avoid placing it at the centrepoint of the house.
2. Flying Star Feng Shui
Under Flying Star Feng Shui, locations that has #7 and or #6 (PLUS) also that this is a water location e.g. the living room area - can be considered acceptable for a water postion.
But under Flying Star, becareful not to place a water position at locations which #3 or #4 or multiples of these bad wood element.
The rationale is that such a water position can `inflame' bad wood further and cause more problems.
3. A fountain...hmmm..
Nowadays, fountain is highly commercialised object. And at such a high mark-up.
The real rationale for a fountain (a large one) is because, of two senarios:
3.1 for a landed property, water or water fountain would mean that nothing can built up above it ... i.e. giving clear space.
3.2 a real fountain or waterfall is different from a tiny fountain:
What makes a real waterfall significant is the friction of water with air. It is said that such friction would produce a positive result or good ion charge. And these ion charge e.g. negative ions can attract bad positive ions.
3.3 Imagine a small tiny house fountain? Can it generate such an activity? Worse still, this may cause high humidity levels if the house is all closed up. If there is lots of sunligh there can also be algae growth.
3.4 For those who are living at a high floor already should be enjoying virtual water or clear space.
4. Where ever possible, a fountain should be placed outside of the house e.g. at the balcony area.

Dear Yang Ming,
Under the Eight House theory:-
1. How suitable is the house?
Often, if `death or disaster' sector is at the main entrance for the breadwinner, this is already considered like the breadwinner having a `fractured' arm.
2. If the house also has a toilet at the centre of the house; then these are more leaks.
More leaks translate to something like: a fractured arm to an `amputated leg'.
3. It is thus more important to understand all these.
4. In addition, under the Eight House, it is better to sleep in a good sector and nice to have sleeping with the head facing a good direction.
5. Other than the above, there is nothing magic about the Eight House. It has it's limitations.
6. Very often, it does not necessarily mean or automatically mean that when we sleep facing a good direction or sit facing our good direction, this is the `end of the success story'.
7. Far from it. As mentioned above, things like: location, location and location is very important. Even if the house is beautifully decorated but all else crumbles outside, this is really bad. No amount of sleeping at a good direction or even a house fitting us can help.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Master Cecil
I need to choose an auspicious date for shifting house.
I am trying to buy the
auspicious date report from
your website.
May I know whose date of birth (profile) should I specify? The
breadwinner?
However, nowadays both husband
and wife work and earn so both
are important
breadwinners. Is there such
thing as putting profiles of
all family
memebers and determine the
auspicious dates in a month?
Pls advise
Thanks

Dear Anon,
More importantly, one try not to move the bed or furniture in the bedroom.
In your case, this is unfortunately a business decision. And seems that you have to move table.
In such a situation, you can still move your table but - avoid seeing the entire move.
What you can do is; pack up all your personal belongings into a box, place it at a corner and (do not see the move/removal of the table) but once ready, then occupy your new table. (Do not see the entire process). Better still is if your new table is ready. Bring your things there.
Warmest Regards,

Hi Cecil,
Need your advice badly.
I've just started a new job 4
weeks ago. The cubical I'm
sitting right now is a
temporary one and it belongs
to another department.
Just last week, I found out
that I was 6 weeks pregnant
with my second child. It's a
joy ........ BUT yesterday, my
boss told me that I'll have to
move out of the cubical next
week 'cos the other department
needs the cubical for their
new staff.
You see, I've not told my boss
about my pregnancy as I'm
still in my probation period.
My last job contract was
terminated when I announced my
pregnancy. I am afraid that
the same thing may happen
again. Moreover, my husband is
out of job now.
I heard that it is not good to
shift places and things during
pregnancy as it is not good
for the pregnancy and the
fetus (especially in the early
weeks when the fetus is
forming). Is that true ??
I am in great dilema ......
First, I can't announced my
pregnancy to my boss. Even if
I do, I couldn't possibly ask
not to move out of the current
cubical. I can't possibly ask
everyone to accommodate to a
new staff like me, right ??
What should I do ? Should I
tell me boss about my
pregnancy ? Should I request
to stay put in the current
cubical ? Should I move or not
? I don't want anything to bad
or regret to happen.
Please advise ........
Best Regards

Dear Anon,
Stand at the window(s) to see if the tree trunk slices into the home? If no, this is not a threat to your home.
This can be seen as a "commonsense" approach.
Often a dead tree is prone to rot / termites (if any). And because of this issue, it can be considered unhealthy.

Hi everyone,
In addition, these are additional dates for the various years ahead:-
1. Year 2006 - 7th month (Hungry Ghost month)
Unfortunately, under Year 2006, there is an intercalary month or a double 7th month for this year.
Given this situation: the 7th months for this year are:
from 25 July 2006 to 23 August 2006 and the start of the 2nd 7th month is from 24 August 2006 to 21 September 2006.
When we read the above information, it simply means that the 7th month for Year 2006 is from 25 July 2006 to 21 September 2006.
the 8th month for this year only starts from 22 September 2006.
2. Year 2007
For the Year 2007, 7th month starts on 13 August 2007 to 10 September 2007.

Dear Mr Low,
Overall, the earth element has only one main colour i.e. yellow or shades of it such as: cream or beige. (No other colour represents it).
A safe element is often:-
1. White (metal) element. Or
a combination of water element and gold such as the colour of the wrought iron gate / grille where often: the background is black and gold is splashed onto it.
Ideally, one has to take extra care of using fire (red, pink or purple) at such sectors. As fire may inadvertently fuel bad earth #5 or #2 if they are present at that sector.

Dear Anon,
1. For 2004, the 7th month or Hungry Ghost month falls on/between 16 August 2004 to 13 September 2004.
(In addition)
2. For 2005, the 7th month falls on/between 5 August 2005 to 3 September 2005.
3. Another inauspicious date for marriage or moving-house is the Qing Ming month or often April.
For this year, Qing Ming falls on 5 April 2003. And it is best not to move house in April 2003.

Dear Anon,
Since, the tree slices into the house (thru the main entrance): this is considered inauspicous. Or a threat to the house.
The cul-de-sac is an added `burden' to the house.
Thus, this is two bad / bad situations.
No, it does not mean here that the cul-de-sac metal slices into the wood tree.

Dear Master Cecil:
Please advise if "metal cuts

situation:
A house faces the circle of a
cul-de-sac (metal), and there
is a medium-sized tree in line
with the main entrance. It is
bad that the tree slices into
the main entrance.
Nonetheless, does metal cuts
wood in this situation?
Or I completely mess up with

Dear Sandra,
Often, house number is not a major issue under Feng Shui.
It has more to do with one's culture. And numbers mean different things to different races and even dialect groups.

Dear Anon,
Frankly, there is no harm in placing a cross on your door.
Often, when we read about Feng Shui, often it is not good to have two doors directly facing each other. This is because, there may be a possibility or a high probability of logger-heads between the two parties.
For example, small things such as shoes strewn along the main enterance or noise coming from the neighbour. Even uneasyness of lack of privacy if both parties open their doors is considered unfavourable.
Given all these, there is therefore a high chance of neighours being irritated with each other.
A Lose-Lose situation?
A lose-lose situation is when each party view the other with concern. For example, if the neighbour or we (ourself) first hang say a ba gua mirror, the other neighbour may not have a choice but also (instead) have to hang a mirror to neutralise it.

Dear Anon,
1. A key ingredient of Feng Shui is qi flow.
2. Given that there is an upgradig of the grounds and facade. And also the roof has been modified or enhanced, this is very strong grounds for qi change. And thus, most likely, will affect your house period.
3. It is very interesting to note that, currently our life span is relatively short e.g. 60 to 80 or even 90 years.
4. Since one Flying Star chart is based on 20 years each, many Feng Shui practitioners that are alive today, cannot really provide an exact answer. Anyone claiming to be 100 percent sure - should be looked at with a pinch of salt.
5. Here, for example if a Feng Shui practitioner is say 58 years old, most likely, assuming that he practices Feng Shui, he can at most have gone thru only one period change i.e. the 1983 Period 6 Feng Shui.
6. A Feng Shui practitioner who is 80 years old may probably go thru 2 of such periods. Even if they had gone thru these two periods, many have yet to look at the type of change that has gone thru these periods, clearly.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
