Dear Anon,
The Finding A Good House report has three dimensions:
1. Breadwinner's Eight House (East/West group) or Gua analysis
2. The specific Flying Star chart of an apartment.
3. Ba Zi of the breadwinner.
Here are some important considerations:
1. Where possible, the ideal `house' or main door is where: in all three cases:
Best choice is where all the above THREE CRITERIAS (Para 1, 2 and 3) is auspicious to the breadwinner.
2. What happens if it does not?
Then, it is best to use this advice:
1. Eight House Analysis
1.1 DEATH OR DISASTER AT MAIN ENTRANCE?
1.1.1 Where possible, the main door SHOULD not be the DEATH or DISASTER to the breadwinner.
1.1.2 If so, this is already ONE handicap before, one ever sets foot into the house.
1.1.3 In many of the thousands af cases we had encountered so far globally, it is a combination of this 1st handicap with other `leaks' that may result especially in breadwinners facing financial problems after moving in for 2 or more years.
1.2 SPOOK OR IRRITATION AT MAIN DOOR
2. FLYING STAR FENG SHUI (CRITERIA 2 or Para 2)
2.1 If one is chosing a house, it would be good or advantages to select a house with good 20 year Flying Stars located at the main entrance.
2.2 The best combination of stars under Period are e.g. #7 mountain #7 water with base #1.
But sometimes, the main door may not be as auspcious. If so, then, go more for CRITERIA 1 and 3 - under Para 1 and 3).
Later on, one can still neutralise some of the bad effects of bad Flying Stars.
3. BA ZI FENG SHUI (CRITERIA 3 or Para 3)
If this is not possible, for all three critera's i.e. Eight House, Flying Star and your Ba Zi, it is still acceptable to have SPOOK or IRRITATION at the main entrance door (breadwinner).
The BEST match is where, the main door is suitable to one's BA ZI.
For example, under Ba Zi, if one is a WEAK FIRE person, if the main door is facing East, this house, overall can be considered as a Wood element house (East represents Wood).
Under the Five elements concept:-
http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-5element.htm
Wood helps to produce Fire (element)
Statements like "the East is a "good house" refers to a situation e.g. East is Wood element.
4. Conclusion
4.1 Overall, it is more important to weight the results:
Para 1: Eight House - try to find a house that is good e.g. Prosperity, Health, Excellent or Longevity.
If unable to do so then at least: Irritation and Spook.
Para 3: Ba Zi, should at least be favourable to the breadwinner.
For example if one is a Weak Water person, a metal house (e.g. West main door) is favourable or `good' for the breadwinner.
Para 2: Flying Star, if possible, this is favourable. But if not, at least, we can still neutralise it.
Above all, we shall not forget Shapes and Forms. This is ultimately, one of the major key success factors.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Master Cecil:
According to the Flying Star,
the East is my disaster sector
and I should forget about an
East facing house.
Nevertheless, the "Finding A
Good House" report says that a
house that faces the East is a
"good house" for me although
this sector represents
misfortune and illness.
Do you know where the conflict
is from? Why East is a good
house although it is not the
very auspicious house?
Thanks for you clarification
in advance.

Dear Anon,
It should be noted that Feng Shui or other divinity method is always relevant because:
1. Lowest Common Denominator
All Feng Shui, divinity methods, medicine, food etc... uses the Five Element Concept.
2. Yin and Yang
This is another major form of Feng Shui.
3. Compass School readings on Earth Luck
4. The Chinese always use the magnetic compass for their compass school Feng Shui.
5. And as we all know, it is based on the magnetic North anywhere in the world. This magnetic North can change; but if it does, the readings always follows the South-North marking. And these readings are taken on the planet earth and not on the planet mars, moon or jupiter.
6. Compass School is just one of the methods used in Feng Shui. In fact, for some practitioners, they can do away with Compass School and rely on Shapes and Forms. Especially when evaluating large pieces of land by looking at the sand and surrounding scenery.
7. Majority of the time, a FS practitioner locates Qi flow: beneficial and sha qi.
Sha qi comes in various forms e.g. poison arrows, dead qi (e.g. in a store room) etc...

Dear Master Cecil:
It seems that Feng Shui
particularly addresses the
front of houses. Are there
important elements in the back
that are potential threats to
houses? What are they?
In general, water positions behind the house is not ideal.
And also, the main entrance door should not open to a house that is literally built on a slope. For example, the living room etc...
Warmest Regards,
CecilQuoteIn accordance with the Feng
Shui in Japan, the North East
is the front ghost gate and
the South West is the back
ghost gate. They think there
should not be protrusion or
omission part of the house in
those two directions. In
addition, trees should not be
planted in those two
directions. Do those elements
exist in Chinese Feng Shui?
1. Feng Shui originates from China. And it was imported to Japan. Many Japanese practitioners apply 9-Star Ki which is one and the same as Flying Star Feng Shui.
2. A large tree is `dangerous' as it was felt that a spirit may hide in it.
3. Therefore, a large tree e.g. at a specific location in front of a house, may be inauspicious.
4. Even in Singapore, there was a case, where a major bank has a Regional building at their Tampines centre. There is a missing corner at the North-East.
4.1 This section was empty for quite sometime. Later on, when this section of the office was occupied; a senior manager and an officer happened to came early in the morning around 6.30am to work.
4.2 Both of them saw `someone using a computer'. And later, they determined that it was not a living being.
4.3 And from this day, whenever, one switches off the PC on that table, it turns on again without any explanation.

completely renovated (a couple
of walls stayed, roof stayed ,
but all windows and many walls
came off and a third story was
added, This renovation took

to the second floor where
living room & dining room are,
leaving the other floors (1 &
3) intact. I have a feeling
that his will alter the Xuan

advisable?
Yes, this will defintely alter Xuan Kong. If the house is completed before Lunar 2003, then it will still remain a Period 7. Else, if the renovation is completed after Lunar 2003 i.e 2004, then, it will take no Period 8's Xuan Kong.
If possible, try not to `chop off' the `head' of the house. If so, usually the breadwinner will have to `go' somewhere never to come back to earth.
If the owners want to make alterations, always look at the top-down view of the proposed house: Is the house become too clumsy or obese? at the centre etc....QuoteThis house has a large radio
antenna, crossing the street.
Can a convex mirror help?
If it does not slice into any windows or main door there is usually no issue on this.QuoteA large wall with 2 garage
doors surrounds the house, and
there is a gate giving access
to the front door. (Front door
is made of all glass and back
walls of house are all

front of either the gate/ or
garage doors, there is a light
pole and a large pine tree. Is
a bagua recommended in each of

Dear Anon,
Please refer to (C) Geomancy.net's Flying Star report input template.
Since your house is located at 160 degrees, then select 165 degrees since your house is considered as between the compass direction 157.5 degrees to 172.4 degrees.
Your main door is located at the south.QuoteI did not understand the
sentence "the flying star
requires 15 degrees
deviation". What does the
sentence mean?
If one looks carefully at the attached template, one will find that each sector is based on 15 degrees each.
For example North 1 is at 345 degrees, North 2 is at 0 degrees etc..

Dear Yasmin,
1. Usually, and most often, decorating a home or doing all the planning and shifting to a new home can be `taxing' considering that, one has to get on with our lives e.g. work, family commitments.
2. If one is applying Feng Shui and choice of colours, it should not be an issue; since, a proper reading can tell which colours are best for both parties e.g. binding element: best colour for the master bedroom, and colours for the living/dining and even colour scheme for other family members.
3. Otherwise, any other type of application of Feng Shui is akin to `throwing' a random dice.

1. A main door can still be at the middle of the rectangular. If so, check for external threats. And internally, it should best not be too close to the centrepoint of the house.
2. And, where possible, qi should not leak directly out of e.g. the back window (if any).

Dear Anon,
1. Appreciate if you can clarify whether you meant 160 degrees to the North (to the right) or 160 degrees to the North - to the left).
2. Usually, a protractor is an addition. We must need to use the magnetic or ordinary compass first to find the exact North-South bearing. And make a confirmation using the East-West.
3. Next, we need to determine the centrepoint of the house.
4. Only then we can use say the protractor to look at the layout plan.
5. Please take a look again at the sample protractor. It has an outer ring: starting from clock wise, we start from 0 degrees, to 90 degrees to 180 degrees to 270 degrees.
6. Once we align the protractor's North-South, we can easily read the direction of the main door by looking at the outer ring of a protractor. (The protactor is very useful because, it has smaller markings making it easier to comprehend e.g. 175 degrees or to exactly a few degrees deviation.
7. Since Flying Star only requires a 15 degree deviation for each sector, one should not have any problems finding exactly where our main entrance is (especially if we had got the North to South marking done).

Dear Mimi,
Sound economic sense previals over Feng Shui with regards to setting up a business:
1. What is the pedestrian traffic flow to the shopping centre?
2. Is this shopping centre meant for a specific type of business e.g. electronics plaza? health/health science related shopping centre?
3. What is the business model / business plan i.e. is the business viable? Or is the business based on hope or a fad?
4. For example, three to four years back, I often receive calls from `businessmen' who wanted me to Feng Shui, their (Taiwanese) model of `bubble tea' outlets.
5. These bubble tea is roughly the equavalent of something like the western " milk shake " business. These drinks are really unhealthy because many of the ingredients use lots of sugar. And it has only a short `catch on' period i.e.
Many born between 1940s to 1980's really did not have such drinks when they were young. And this is a passing fad, because, the young will eventually get sick of it.
6. Personally, I refuse to Feng Shui such business and their outlets.
7. The rationale is clear: commonsense would tell us that such business has low entry level and nearly every other `tom, dick and harry' are opening an outlet.
8. I personally feel that it is thus a COMPLETE waste of time applying Feng Shui! And I would not want to spoil my reputation, in the short-run, taking fee auditing these places.
9. Recently, I do receive many calls from people trying to open a business selling " the drain fish " or popularly known as the Luo Han fish.
10. Often, I do receive calls, requesting to Feng Shui a shop. I normally would frankly ask them what type of business they are going into. If in my opinion, either the location is not good (based on commercial reasons and not Feng Shui) or their business model is unsound, I would flatly refuse to do an audit.
11. Well, I am not discouraging entreprenuer ship. But, facts are facts. And we cannot run away from it.
12. For your relative:
12.1 Try to look closely at the business model.
12.2 Study closely to see what are the key success factors (if any).
12.3 Look at the pedestrian traffic. If the business needs a good shop front, then usually, rental is higher; but is it feasible as compared to another unit that has less traffic etc...
13. For a business, the most important thing is about cash flow, good business model etc... Feng Shui comes last!

1. Yes, any smell that filters into your home is not auspicious or even hygenic.

Dear Judith,
1. It would be best to see what type of dragon design is on the calendar.
2. If it is a simple cartoon dragon with body `flying' around, there is no issue.
3. If it is a fierce looking dragon especially with 5 claws, it is best that the room has at least a window. Avoid placing it in a room without any windows.
Overall, if it is just a piece of outline art with the monthly calendar superimposed on it, usually there may not be an issue here.

Dear Users,
1. Nowadays, based on my personal observations: 8 out of 10 Geomancers are more of a Human (man) luck practitioners.
2. What is Human (Man) Luck?
Unlike Feng Shui which deals with Earth Luck; Human luck practitioners can loosely be described as people like counsellors or for church goers; having a senior e.g. pastor giving broad advice.
3. In my opinion, many of the Human Luck practitioners sell lots of `stuffs' or have `connections' to the sale of such objects or alternatively advise their clients on the `benefits of such objects':-
3.1 Some of these items include:
3.1.1 SALE OF FOUNTAINS
The lucrative sale of fountains at high prices e.g. $388 to $988 depending on the size. (Actual cost price to manufacture may be as low as $50 excluding the pumps etc..)
3.1.2 SALE OF WIND CHIMES
This is the most popular. Since, logically, it sounds `right' to hang one or several wind chimes. (Much easier to convience clients (victims) to buy them
3.1.3 SALE OF MISCELLANOUS ITEMS
Common to see the sale of the 3-legged toad, crystals, Keiloon etc...
3.1.4 PROVIDE ADVICE ON WEALTH CORNER
STRONGLY ADVICE CLIENTS that he / she alone knows exactly where OUR wealth corner is.
Often, after a few months, if things does not work, the advise is that: e.g. your fountain is too small etc...
STRONGLY ADVOCATING PLACING A RED PACKET IN THE OFFICE DRAWER or SPECIAL (WEALTH CORNER)
Year after year, the client, is at a lost, of perhaps, what to do with last year's money. Since, this year, they had to renew the placing of these money.
Perhaps, clients are told to buy something valuable this year with last year's money, and this year, place a specified amount to `activate' luck at given times.
Statistically, all these does not make sense.
It is like my past statement of SW = romance sector. It does not mean that if a person places 99 roses on the SW, he will definitely get close or even marry his dream girl. What happens if others also place 99 or more on their SW sector.
If the focus is on Feng Shui, than, it is best that we try to differentiate:
1. Heaven Luck (Ba Zi) from
2. Earth Luck (Feng Shui) from
3. Human (man luck) from
4. Beliefs from
5. Superstitions
If all of us can differentiate this, especially for those who are keen to study Feng Shui, then, there is a higher chance of success.
For example, Man (Human Luck) focus mostly in the interior of the home. (Feel nice) but not external threats if any.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil -
Dear Anon,
When confronted with such issues, we can logically:-
1. How long have u stayed in this house?
2. If one has stayed in the home for more than 6 months and do not encounter obstacles especially financial or health, then, the tree is not a major problem.
But if it does, than, it is a potential threat to the breadwinner.
3. It is true that if the tree `mysteriously disappear' *JOKE* or has been removed, then there is no issue.
4. If it does not slice thru your main door directly, then usually this is not a threat to your main door.
5. If despite of Para 4, one faces problems, then, try to check for other leaks (either several minor leaks) or a combination of one or two major leaks that may perhaps have caused personal problems.

Dear Anon,
1. Yes, I know of some FS practitioners are selling them.
2. Frankly, the eight rod wind chime is a modern invention.
2.1 The reason why I call this a modern invention is because, the Chinese dialect group Cantonese, likes the phonetic sound of `8' or Fatt, or prospertiy.
2.2 Because of this connotation, the trend or fad for the eight rod wind chime started or originated from Hong Kong.
2.3 Locally, I believe some FS practitioners also `catch' on with this. Not so much of its proper use but rather, in my opinion, a profit element.
2.4 Imagine, the cost price of such items can be as low as a few dollars. (Especially if they are manufactured in bulk and with low labour costs in China).
2.5 These `Feng Shui' wind chimes are currently sold close to 100 percent or more profits.
2.6 Since, it has Eight rods, it has been touted as an auspicious number. And some FS practitioners may unfortunately take advantage of this by saying that it brings good luck. Thus, some even advise to place it e.g. on their main entrance door.
3. In my opinion, if one has the money, no problems.
4. Actually, 8 stands for weak earth under Flying Star Feng Shui. And, since this is weak earth, it is not as bad as 5 which is a strong bad earth.
5. Use it if one wants to. But, don't hope for any significant `wealth results'.
Excuses, Excuses and a load of rubbish....
For those who had bought it from a practitioner: may often get the advice:
5.1 please wait (but wait how long) or
5.2 perhaps the blame is that the wind chime one is using is `too small'.
or
5.3 It is unfortunate that it should be placed at the external door. But, this may not be appropriate since, it may get stolen.
5.4 One must becareful of too many practitioners who are too engrossed in `Man' (human luck) i.e. making some of us feel good after having purchased questionable items.
6. There are nowadays, lots (lots) of people who use the name of Feng Shui to sell commercial products.
We should take the cue from World Wild Life conservation: "If the buying stops, the killing (endangered animals) can!"

Dear Jen,
1. Attached please find an illustration of how one can use a protractor to find the main entrance door.
2. A protractor can either be a 360 degrees one as shown in the attached. Or even a 180 degrees protractor is still possible to use.
3. In my opinion, a protractor similar to the one in the picture can easily be purchased in a book or stationery store. And such a protractor costs between US$1 to US$4 or less.

Dear Jen,
AS IT IS
1. It does not matter if the centre of NE is 45 degrees or N = 0 degrees or East = 90 degrees.
2. What is more important is which is the actual compass degree at your main door.
For example, if the main door is at NE; most of the time is it not possible to be exactly at 45 degrees.
Then, what is the degree?
The degree should be the actual degree at the mid-point of the main door.
For example, if a reading may be taken, it could be at say exactly 37 degrees.QuoteWhat if the facing of the
house is in between 60 degree
and 75 degree? Do we strictly
divide the zone by two? And
thus, under 67.5 degree falls
into the NE and above 67.5
falls into the East?
Sometimes, we are unable to
accurately measure the
difference of one degree or
0.5 degree
It is best to invest in a protractor. For example, there are many brands e.g. Saintograph 360 degree protractor.
The easiest is to JUST find the North to South marking (degree). And an additional confirmation of the East-West marking (degree).
No one is expected to use an ordinary compass to find the difference in one degree or 0.5 degree. As it is impossible, unless one buys an expensive Surveyor's compass.
After one has superimposed the North to South and East to West compass direction of the home, simply use a protractor as mentioned above to locate the EXACT compass direction.
Anyway, even if one is applying Flying Star 24 direction's analysis, the deviation allowed is 15 degrees tolerance per direction. And not 1 degree or 0.5 degrees tolerance.
The other option is, you know of any friends who are engineers or even children, children's friends that are studying engineering or even engaging a surveyor who can at the last resort help out to determine the compass direction of the house.
However, I seriously think that it is not as complicated as it sounds.

Dear Master Cecil:
Thank you for your reply. I
am still unclear about the
direction of a house in terms
of the magnetic "degree". For
example, the NE is centered at
45 degree; therefore, degree
30 to degree 60 would
definitely be considered as
the NE direction (am I
correct?). The East is
centered at 90 degree;
therefore, degree 75 to degree
105 would definitely under the
influence of the East
direction.
What if the facing of the
house is in between 60 degree
and 75 degree? Do we strictly
divide the zone by two? And
thus, under 67.5 degree falls
into the NE and above 67.5
falls into the East?
Sometimes, we are unable to
accurately measure the
difference of one degree or
0.5 degree.
Is there an answer to this
kind of question? Thanks a
lot.
With Warmest Regards,
Jen

Dear Vijay,
1. Usually, we have to be pragmatic when applying Flying Star or the Eight sectors.
2. If our house or apartment is small to medium sized e.g. 800 sq feet to 3,000 sq feet, usually we do not need to subdivide the house into various sectors. Especially if we own the entire house.
3. In a house environment, if we are using Flying Star, more important considerations are the frontage and the back of the house.
4. However, I would agree with you, that in some cases, it would be good to do sub-sectional Feng Shui for offices. This is because, many individual offices do have their own internal floor area and their specific main door.
5. For a home, I would recommend what you had mentioned if: one is too free, or has nothing else better to do: but to eat and sleep on Compass School Feng Shui.QuoteBecause the readings of the
rooms may be different from
the centre of the house ?
As mentioned above, we have to be pragmatic. If each room is small e.g. 100 sq feet, taking a few steps can reach one end to the other, is'nt it practical to divide the rooms.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Master Cecil
Please advice about taking the
readings of the house and
rooms. If one wants to place
the Lo Shu Magic square-on the
house then centre of the house
is the point. But what about
the centre of the individual
rooms. One has to first find
out the centre of each room
and then place the template.
But how to take the readings ?
Is it advisible to energize
the corners of the room ?
Because the readings of the
rooms may be different from
the centre of the house ?
Please
clarify.
Warm regards

Dear Vijay,
1. Please check whether are u staying in a landed property or in an apartment.
2. Usually in an apartment, it is not as necessary to have a water position since, one already has virtual water position.
3. In general, even if the location is South, usually, when we determine whether water can be sustained here is to look at it using Xuan Kong or Flying Star chart.
4. For example, if the frontage has a #7 x 2 for example, then, water is beneficial for this location even if this is the South etc...

Dear Mr. Cecil Lee
My front door faces NW
direction (217.5 degree )
which comes under the disaster
direction if follow the 8
house theory. Before renting
the house I had no idea about
this aspect of Feng Shui.
Please advice, if I can
install a water fountain in
front of the main door to
energize the water/career
luck. Will it not contradict
with the engergy of the fire
element from South.
Best regards

Dear Joe,
1. It is not quite like `Star Wars' where one comes to the `dark side':)
2. Under the Five Elements concept, there are various senarios with regards to more yin, more yang or `totally' yin or yang.
3. Some of my ebooks have covered this topic.
4. Overall, if one's chart has too much yin elements; it implies that there is a major imbalance in the chart.
5. I personally have known several persons who became very successful with such charts. As the advantage is that these people are truly very determined, has excellent attitude etc...
6. In fact, if one's chart has e.g. many yin elements; on the contrary; too much yin changes to Yang and vice versa.
7. Please note that there are three types of luck: Heaven (your ba zi chart), Earth (Feng Shui) and Human (man luck). Thus the equation can easily be changed by any of these variables. Nothing is impossible:)
Perhaps, sometimes we need to watch more of the older series of Mission Impossible?
Warmest Regards,

Dear Cecil,
I was once told that I was
born in a "yin" month, "yin"
day and a "yin" time. As "yin"
represents the dark part of
the yin yang balance, does
this mean that I have a dark
destiny? Is there any cure to
this?
Also, I have tried the ba zi
analysis in your website and
it says I have a generally
hard life. is this related to
above matter?
You can be truly frank with me
as I still believe in doing
the best you can and no giving
up in life no matter what.
It's just that I am very
curious of what the charts
have for me.
Thanks.

Dear Jen,

Dear Master Cecil:
The North is my death section
and the East is my disaster
section.
I used a compass outside the
main entrance of my house to
identify the direction of the
house. The direction is North
73 degree, which is right at
the border of the NE zone
(centered at 45 degrees from
the North) and the East zone
(centered at 90 degrees from
the North). My measurement
may not be accurate. By
tilting a little bit, the
direction of my house (say,
between North 75 and North 80)
could be closer to the East
zone.
Please re-check with this url to confirm if you had taken the readings properly:-
http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-cecilcompass.htm
Does it mean that I am
doomed to disasters?
As I have already analysed, several thousands of cases so far, the characteristics of such a house is as follows:-
1. If the house is considered very unsuitable for the breadwinner: especially death or disaster sector:
1.1 This is already ONE HANDICAP to the breadwinner.
1.2 As the breadwinner stays in the house for several years and if there are many leaks either several minor + even 1 or two major leaks may cause financial problems.
1.3 As we are aware, if we continue to have financial problems; things can deteoriate e.g. health, marriage problems and this leads to a vicious cycle.
Therefore, please don't get me wrong that just one senario e.g. the house is very unsuitable is the `end of the world'.
I have seen many cases, where, fortunately, the Shapes and Forms is the saviour. And this has significantly pulled the luck up. Inclusive of proper use of Ba Zi or Ba Zi Feng Shui.QuoteThe corner of my house (which
is sort of in the NNE) and the
North of my house are blocked
by the side of my next-door
neighbor?s house (The North is
my death section). Should I
put a convex mirror at "that
corner" of my house to reflect
my neighbor's house back?
It is difficult to comment on this statement. Please provide a reasonable sketch.
Else, it is very dangerous to comment on what u had mentioned. This depends on the distance of the neighbour's side of the house, where it `hits' your home, whether, there is fencing or plants that shield the house, whether the neighbour's house is double or single storey etc.... I am afraid, I simply cannot answer this without such inputs. A picture (if possible would be nice, thou).

Dear Kayte,
1. It is advantages for you to plot both the Period 6 and Period 7 Flying Star chart especially if you had already stayed in the house for at least a few years.
2. Firstly, look at it this way: "No harm". Why?
3. This is because, if one had stayed in the house for sometime, one can see which charts are more accurate.
For example, if any of the bedrooms are in the East or South, or especially at the East, and if family members had being staying in the `East' room for sometime without any issues on health; then, the chart closely mimic that of a Period 6 house.
4. It does not matter, therefore, if one is advised to use Period 6, 7 or even later period 8.
5. When we do charting of homes especially if the house spans a history as far back as even the 1940's; and if we have some facts or historical records, we should continue to chart objectively relying on past data to guide us (if possible).
Warmest Regards,

Dear Cecil,
I did not hear from you with
regard to the self-analysis
which I uploaded to the forum,
but I wondered if you could
just help clear up some
confusion for me with regard
to which period I should be
using to fly the primary stars
for my apartment (mountain,
water, time)? I did the
flying stars based on period
6, since my apartment building
was built in 1971. A
consultant that I met told me
I should have used period 7.
Which one is correct, and if I
should be using 7, why is
that?
Thanks in advance for clearing
this up for me.

Dear Maree,
In my opinion, once a body gets cremated and resultant = ash, this material is considered `neutral'.
From my past experience, there is no ill effects in keeping it in the home. However, it is best to place the container in a `respectable' location. For example, on a high table (not within reach of children).
And try to place it:-
1. If there is a specific table just for it; this is ok.
2. On this table, a bouquet of flowers (artificial) also can.
3. Avoid placing this table facing the dining table.
4. Avoid having it's back against the same wall as the toilet.
5. Avoid placing the jar in the kitchen, kitchen cabinet or in the store room.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Ginny,
Actually, the preferred shape is the "Earth" element: rectangle or square. Oval, is not the best shape.
