Dear Barbara, In my opinion, under Feng Shui, `L-shaped' houses are not unlucky. More importantly, if one is trying to audit or access an `L-shaped' home, then, one has to try to find the centrepoint as well as one can further sub-divide the house into two `symbolic' rectangles to access the home. Therefore, rest assured that an `L-shaped' home does not necessarily mean inauspiciousness. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- In my opinion, this has to do more with `beliefs' than Feng Shui. Perhaps, I need to side track abit:- Overall, the most popular `bird' is the mystical bird i.e. Phoenix. In Chinese culture, a wedding card will inevitably have a phoenix (representing) female and dragon (male) symbol representing this union of couples. The other more popular symbolic birds are: the egale, pheasant, swallow, crane and magpie. Now coming to `birds'. Sorry, if sound crude but the Mandarin worn for bird or `niao' is `penis'. (Once again, apologies - but this is true!) There was a time when Nissan cars came up with a model called " Blue Bird ". Here, many Chinese especially call this car " Lan ciao " or Blue penis (blue bird). This model was thus not very popular or had fewer sales than Nissan's " Sunny ". Once again, please accept my sincere apologies on this real case study. Overall, unless one is a bird lover, therefore, birds are not ideal pets. Especially since they are kept in cages. And to many people, seemed a cruel thing to do. In fact, some Chinese do buy e.g. doves and set them free. Grand Duke (represents the planet Jupiter). It is said that such a large planet has a large magnetic field. For this horse year it is located at 180 degrees (SOUTH). Here, Grand Duke is sitting South facing North. The idea is not to `disturb' or `touch him' at South. Since the animal sign Horse (South) is loggerheads with Rat (North); the North is considered as the 3 Killings location. And at the 3 killings location (North), this year, it is best not to do any renovations here. The most important consideration is based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui (exterior: landscape, site, land). After this, then see where each family member fits. And also, eqaully important the shapes and forms of the interior The main consideration is the plot of land and try to make it as rectangular as possible. Feel free to check out reasonably priced International Off-site audit (for more information) at:-http://sg.geomancy.net/consultation/consult-home/offsite-consultation.htm Yes, the main door can be at the side of the house. And it is common to have it at this location. But, the main consideration is that everything should fit in nicely. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- - In my opinion, in general, it is best if one can not to purchase the house. - Perhaps, you can also ask the existing owner what is the rationale for them selling the unit. 1.What is your view on the effect of the station & the lane and the unit??s overall feng shui and it??s cure? Frankly, it is NOT practical to `cure' such a Yang effect coming from the Fire station. Not practical because, one has to literally close the curtains or close the main door most of the time. 2. Will it benefits a breadwinner of weak earth element perhaps needing more fire? This is to do more with which direction the main door is facing and whether it matches the Ba Zi of the breadwinner. For example, the bright Red coloured wall of the Fire station is considered a Sha Qi. And frankly, I do not see how it can co-exist with one's element. Even if one needs `fire' this is not exactly the type of `fire' one wants. There is a difference between personal enhancement and Sha Qi. 3. What about the effect on the other family members of strong earth and strong wood elements? As mentioned above, we are talking about two different issues. It is not possible for Sha Qi to work advantages for us. - Frankly, it is difficult to comment on this unless you can draw a proper sketch. As such a judgement involves many factors. This includes the distance between the blocks, the distance between the gap etc.. - Being a west life and a weak earth person, the door faces SE, unfavourable Liu Shai and wood. However, the living, dining and master seems favourable in NE, Nien Yen-Earth, NW, Sheng Chi-Metal and SW,Tien Yen-Earth. Since the maindoor leads to a short passage way and where activities are limited, are the unfavourable effect limited and may not be even of upmost important in this case? I have heard of geomancer that advise on checking on the window facing rather that the door if both the door and window that do not align, please confirm? The easiest way out is always to use a Luopan and point it to the location with the brightest light that comes into the house. This is where, it is relatively easy to find the `facing' and `sitting' direction. However, if one really takes a closer look at the Flying Star chart i.e. a 24 degree increment, one still has to find out exactly the compass direction of the main door. Taking the easy way out, this is simply based soley on the Luo pan readings. However, if one wants to take true compass directions, one has to find out the centrepoint of the house. And from this centrepoint determine the exact compass degree of the main door to plus or minus 15 degree increments. It is fine if the Geomancer provides you with his/her advice based on the luopan. But if one uses a Flying Star chart with the mathematical formulas on it, one would have guessed that it requires a precise determination based on the compass direction. For example, take the case of the Eight House Theory. Here, the advise is to take the compass readings from the centrepoint. Reference: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm If one notice carefully, the centrepoint is usually the location where the centre of gravity is located. And both Eight House and Flying Star are compass school Feng Shui. As mentioned earlier, some geomancers, for their convenience, read off from their Luo pan and provide advise (or rough) advise based on it. Some even do not provide you confirmation with tools such as Flying Star chart. The forum and other resources in this site, can provide some clue as to their use. But it is diffcult to list out the exact order. As no two situations are the same. However, roughly, the order is as follows:- THE HOME/OFFICE 1. Shapes and Forms (external, site, building, home) 2. Eight House Compass School (birth chart of the house) PERSONAL SELF 1. Eight House 2. Ba Zi 3. Ba Zi Feng Shui In the forum, I mentioned that there are three easy steps: 1. What is the purpose of each theory 2. What are its strenghts 3. What are its weakness - If one is applying Flying Star Feng Shui, then if a house is built under Period 6 or Period 7, the house will continue to remain as e.g. a Period 6 or Period 7 house. There is really nothing new here. For example, under this current period, a Period 6 house has continued to remain as a period 6 house. (Unless there is a major renovation that changes this to a period 7 house). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- If you have seen the various examples i.e. not only Meyer but references to other `Receive positions' under this url: http://www.geomancy.net/consultation/consult-home/home-househunting.htm You will notice that the one primary concept of Shapes and Forms is to `Receive'. However, the fundamental thing is that NOT ALL SITES are the same. The above gives a CLUE as to what to look out for in ADDITION to other Shapes and Form Feng Shui. It would be silly if one based on my suggestion to buy this type of house and happen that the house is on top of a badly eroded hill. Or any other unfavourable Shapes and Forms. As mentioned above, "It depends". No two homes are alike. What I have mentioned is a glimse of what we may consider as potential sites worth looking for. The situation here is that even for "excellent homes" or homes that are considered excellent, they nevertheless are not perfect. Some or in-fact many excellent homes may still have poison arrows aimed at them. This is where, in a second article, I felt that one should also look out for leaks. http://www.geomancy.net/consultation/consult-home/leakinexistinghome.htm It would be fool hardy not to take note of leaks even if they are excellent homes. If one reads carefully the article on Meyer condo, there is also a leak in the form of the roof that needs to be cured. Therefore, what I had written is just a guideline in our many of our quest to search for an elusive excellent home.
