Dear Isabel,
Thank you for your clarification.
1. Yes, you should stand at the centrepoint or use the template from the centrepoint of the house.
2. There are some resources at this URL to further help you how to do so:-

Dear Cecil:
Thank you very much for
answering me. I was referring
to the eight house theory. So
I have to apply the Ba-Gua to
the center of the house taking
the orientation of the main
door as my starting point.
Thanks again and best of
lucks,

Dear Susan,
1. Attached, please find a graphic illustration of the " rectangular " court-yard + the Chinese (mandarin) character for tree.
2. The two combined is called " KUN " or trapped or imprisoned.
3. This is another aspect of Symbolism in Feng Shui.
4. For such a court-yard, it would be tempting to have some trees in this centre-court yard and thus - one has to be really careful of the implication of it.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Christina,
1. The reason why sometimes we cannot `find' an answer to our `luck' is because Feng Shui should be considered a holistic method.
2. Good Feng Shui analysis normally would help in problem identification such as yours and if done properly would result in good fixes to increase one's luck.
3. What you had mentioned, is more of a case of micro Feng Shui.
4. Here some of the interesting questions are:
4.1 If one is staying in Singapore, a good example are locations. If one pass by good locations or considered auspicious locations generally they are locations where there are many landed properties. Or a constant renewal of new homes and condominums built on these land.
4.2 For example: One excellent site in Singapore is the " Seletar " area. If one drive past this seletar area (along Yio Chu Kang Road) one cannot help notice the number of landed properties and (few if any) government housing boards in sight.
4.3 Why is this? If one drives along Yio Chu Kang road and travel down some of the roads leading to such excellent " Seletar " estates; one notice that the roads are somewhat on a `hill' while these estates are gradient and lower than the Yio Chu Kang Road.
4.4 The secret here is - Does one's property or home sits on a location that can `COLLECT WEALTH'?
4.5 Usually, these locations are lower and somewhat may be described as (if one looks carefully) in a basin.
4.6 As one knows, a basin can collect .. (something). Here, it can be considered as Wealth.
4.7 If an other development happened to be on the fringe of this `basin' and it's wealth seems to drain into the basin, here it is considered " Your wealth is drained towards another or beneifiting others ".
4.8 Such a "basin" is under Shapes and Form Feng Shui considered ' YIN ' but rich in habitat like insects.
5. Thus one can without proper Feng Shui advise, do a million things to enhance one's house but for many years, simply ` no luck'. (Feng Shui refers to our " Earth Luck " which is the luck of our house - land or earth)
6. If luck in the above senario can be cross reference to Destiny (Pillars of Destiny) or `Heaven's Luck' this is even more potent and the combination of this is called " Ba Zi Feng Shui ". A proven and effect method if analysed correctly.
7. Thus, we should not be simply "myopic" or just pay attention only to our interior of the house. The sayings goes " We can do everything for your home but if the surrounding crumples... then... it is all the more worthless to do so. "
Warmest Regards,

Dear Susan,
1. A rectangular shaped court-yard represents the Earth element.
2. Quite a coincidence that you had asked this interesting question.
Let me relate a past story. This is a true story. I had one client who had lived house similar to what you had mentioned i.e. with a rectangular court-yard.
Before he consulted me, he was in financial difficulties and further more had a serious car accident (nearly lost his and family's life) and lost money in his business.
3. Furthermore, the main entrance door of this house (with rectangular court-yard) faced north direction. (Later under Para 4, this was found not suitable to the breadwinner who is a "weak earth" person.
4. I was asked to analyse his house and I found the following:-
4.1 His Pillars of Destiny element is " Weak Earth ".
4.2 As mentioned under Para 3, his main door faces " North " (water element).
Since he is a weak earth person, although water is suppose to be his wealth BUT to a weak earth person IT BECOMES a financial burden to him.
4.3. I had thus asked him to change the door of this house to South (Fire) where Fire element will help his weak earth grow.
4.4. He had placed a tree in the court-yard and several plants.
This is considered highly `inauspicious'. Symbolism is important in Feng Shui and the tree with the resulting outline of the earth (rectangle) over it represented = Mandarin character for " Imprisonment ".
All these spelt bad news for the owner.
5. After, I had advised him and since the changes made by him; he has turned around all the early problems and I understand that he is doing well now.
In my opinion, I would strongly advise you not to do so or if you want to do any of these, do try to consult a competent FS practitioner to help you in this area.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Alan,
1. The first approach is to use the Eight House Theory.
This theory is quite interesting because:
1.1. It is used to find out " How suitable a house is to the breadwinner ".
1.2. Next, we look at the layout plan of the house and where the location of the bedrooms are for each person i.e. Husband, wife and children.
For example, we try to find out what are the "intangible forces" at each bedroom.
Thus, it would be advantages if the sectors in each room e.g. Master bedroom (Husband and wife) and other bed rooms suit each indivdual members of the house.
2. The various reports which you can generate under: http://www.geomancy-online.com are totally Free.
This includes the:-
Free Eight House Report
Free Sleeping Position Report
and there are many other Free reports relating to the above.
3. There is another specialised report called the " Good House Report " under http://www.geomancy-online.com
Sometime back, my elder brother wanted to choose or purchase a new house. We were rather late in helping him to choose the `first' house that he liked.
What happened that, because of this `missed opportunity'; together with Robert Lee, we designed a tool to help him secure a new home.
The Good House Report, provides a full 360 degree analysis (based on the 24 directions of the Flying Star) to quickly aid him to look at and purchase the house - almost immediately.
In Singapore, during this time, condominiums are always snapped up and we used the report with good effect to locate a good home suitable for him based not only on the Eight House but rather the more powerful Flying Star analysis. This report was originally tailor-made for our use and I use it to search also for my own new home and subsequently for many of my clients.

Dear Isabel,
Thanks and Seasons Greetings!
1. I am not sure whether are you referring to the application of the `Ba Gua' i.e. the Eight House Theory or The Flying Star Theory.
2. In fact for both the Eight House Theory and Flying Star Theory, these two concepts are based on Compass School Feng Shui.
3. And in general, it is based on the location (determination) of the main entrance door.
4. The logic here is that there is only one main entrance door. If so, for a house with 2/3 or more storeys, it is determined by looking at the direction of the main entrance door from the centrepoint of the house. Therefore, the " Ba Gua " map as you mentioned should be applied for both ground and upper levels taking into consideration the centrepoint of the house.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Charles,
It is best to look at two charts and see which is the better chart.
As the Flying Star or the birth chart of the house differs in each door direction.
Yes, if you are `changing' the door or using a backdoor to become a main door, then, you can do so.
1. However, this existing backdoor should not be smaller than your present main door.
2. It should open inwards,
3. If the main door has two doors (left and right) - it is best to have this configuration.
4. The new `main door' should also have the house number placed on it.
5. Preferably an auspicious date be chosen for the work to be carried out.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Bam,
1. Frankly, I have not read any books from Terah Kathryn Collins. But it the `Feng Shui' is based on fixed template then, it may not be relevant to authentic Feng Shui.
2. Nowadays, the market is flooded with (many, many) books on Feng Shui.
3. If you are in a book shop, take the opportunity to browse thru the books. It is preferred that one should purchase books that make us `learn' or understand.
Rather than many books that `sensationalises' Feng Shui. For example, books that may cause more harm then good: where the author, says .. play 3 coins in the accounts book or ehance the SW or romance sector.
4. It is because of such books, some published in the early 1980s that give the `wrong' signals and unfortunately give Feng Shui a bad name.
5. Two years ago, I read in a newsgroup; that a husband posted on the internet. He said that his life was ruined because, his wife, `kept' the secret of her FS consultations - as she had unfortunately consultated those who use a `marketing' ploy and inject some mysticism on the use of FS. The end result is, she spent a considerable sum on FS and the family got into financial difficulties.
6. Recommended Book authors:-
6.1. One good way to look at books are how many books did the author publish? Especially for one topic.
One classic book author, I would recommend is - Derek Walters .
7. Author: Derek Walters
For Feng Shui books, as far as I am aware, he wrote only two books:-
7.1. Title: " Feng Shui "
Perfect placing for your happiness and prosperity
In this richly illustrated and highly informative account, Derek Walters unravels the mysteries of traditional Chinese geomancy and presents simplified version of the ancient Chinese compass or Lo P'an to calculate fortunate locations and placings.
7.2. Title: " The Feng Shui Handbook "
This book gives a good understanding of the Five Elements Concept.
7.3. Although these books are written sometime back (one of the first books) on authentic Feng Shui, nevertheless, they are in my opinon `classics' for the beginner.
7.4. I like to caution that these books (really) teach or makes good grounding. If one is looking for " Fast food Feng Shui " or spoon fed tips, then these books are not for them.
8. Dr Evelyn Lip
Her books are always academically correct and has rich illustrations and most importantly ... facts and facts.
For those who are doing research for e.g. school projects on FS, can look up several of her books.
Titles like : Chinese Geomancy and other titles.
However, her books are (in my opinion) although contain history and facts, these books are more for reference. But if one reads them carefully, there are some good materials.
By the way, what led Dr Evelyn Lip wrote her first book was for her thesis when she first studied architecture in university.
9. Some of the `older' Lillian Too's book like " Basic Feng Shui " is acceptable especially for the understanding of Shapes and Form Feng Shui. But, I am not too keen to recommend other books as some of them do not really teach but as mentioned earlier, "sells" tips that may be too general and may ultimately cause damage.
10. You will not have a problem finding other FS books especially from authors who do not have associations with Lin Yun.
11. Nine Star-Ki
It is said and many confirm that Feng Shui started in China. There was a time where, Japan, which was close to China adopted another `holistic' method ie called Nine Star-Ki.
Today, Nine Star-Ki is popular in Japan and in the United Kingdom.
Essentially, Nine Star-Ki and The Flying Star Feng Shui are one and the same. As they use the Luo Shu Square.
But, Nine Star-Ki can be seen as a holistic `package' that looks more at personal " Flying Star. "
Unfortunately, it is difficult to `mix' Traditional Feng Shui e.g. The Flying Star FS with Nine Star-Ki.
So, it is best to learn one or the other.
If you decide to go for Nine Star-Ki then some of the authors include:
Jon Sandifer
and Simon Brown
12. Since you have alrady bought a few books on Feng Shui, I personally feel quite bad about it.
If you like to, please e-mail to Robert-Lee@geomancy.net so that we can give you a complimentary FREE download each of my two books:
a. Fun with Feng Shui and
b. Applied Feng Shui (which is derived from the course here). Gives a solid grounding in Feng Shui.

Dear Users,
I promised to post the pictures showing the type of wind chime used in Feng Shui as a cure.
Description of wind chime:
1. The 6 rod (brass) metal wind chime. This wind chime is used particuarly as a cure for #5 (misfortune stars).
2. If you carefully of some of the pictures (especially - bottom up) you will find that each of the 6 rods are hollow.
3. In some of the pictures you will also find the i-ching coin hang at the bottom of the rod. Look carefully at the pictures....
3. The rationale for using the 6 rod (brass) wind chime is for the following reasons:
The number 6 represents - " Big metal " or `strong metal'.
Brass (made of metal).
The rods are HOLLOW and not full metal.
This wind chime uses rods of various lengths.

Dear Bam,
1. In my opinion, Black Sect Tantric Buddhist (BTB) appears to have been a modern "invention" fabricated in the mind of one person: Thomas Lin Yun. It has no basis in or connected to Traditional Chinese Feng Shui.
2. BTB is not recognised by many practitioners of Traditional Chinese Feng Shui. Traditional practitioners also consider BTB to be Psuedo-Feng Shui. It is based primarily on a marketing scheme derived from superstition and profit.
Hear the founder of Black Sect Lin Yun's confession. (You will be transported to Kate Bramble's website:)
http://www.qi-whiz.com/confess.html
3. The above article will certainly share light in the `marketing ploy'.
4. You are `correct' to say that BTB can be considered as a `western version' or rather western `invention' as the founder of BTB, has been populating this BTB in particular in USA.
5. For those who are staying in Asia, in particuar, Hong Kong; China; Taiwan and Far East i.e. Singapore, Malaysia, I can assure you that as far as I know, I have yet come across a BTB practitioner in such countries.
6. Thus, how can it be that, so many countries in Asia, does not even come close to such `teachings' or un-Feng Shui practises. This is thus a strong `signal' that we should not follow such methods.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Cheli,
Thank you for bring up this interesting question.
Many of us may become quite confused with `differing' concepts or theories.
Usually, a concept or problem need to be redressed (without first taking into consideration - personal self).
Let me take a parallel:-
In Flying Star Feng Shui, if a location has bad #5 (misfortune) and further more the year chart also has this #5 - we need to really redress this problem (no matter if the sector in question is considered "unfavourable" to the individual).
Here, there is a real need to neutralise the problem at this sector. If the requirement is to use a metal windchime, then, we need to use it. Using a wooden windchime - is no solution to the problem. Once this sector is neutralised, it thus considered as neutralised.
Similarly, if under the 3killings, there is a real need to use metal windchime, do use it rather than find another "alternative" such as wooden windchime.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Per,
In my opinion, for a small that is shared for livingrm cum office cum bedroom, more importantly the placement of the various furnitures. And avoid `clutter' where possible.
Under Feng Shui, the most appropriate concept used here is the Yin and Yang concept. Where, there should be a `balance'. In moments of rest (sleep), a more conducive yin environment is good. But while working, too conducive of such a yin environment is not favourable.
I believe, that your room should have a window. And, depending on the direction also i.e. if the window area faces directly west, then, it may be quite hot (depending on your country - season).
Overall, try your best to balance your environment.
Warmest Regards

Office Warming (like Home warming) is considered an essential part in bringing good Qi and luck for the occupants in the new premises.
Another major consideration (or superstition) is to `ward' off evil spirits.
1. First, an auspicious day and time is chosen for the move. If one does not consult a FS practitioner, than a good date is usually the 15th day of each lunar month. up. (Full moon).
2. On that day, all windows, openings, grilles or opening in the walls and if there is skylight into the building, it has to be be covered up e.g. with black paper. The duration of this `black-out' is for an hour before the Office Warming Starts.
3. Make sure that all electrical lightings and power (power-points) are switched offered during this time.
4. Often, the tradition of a red cloth banner is hung over the front door.
Here is the interesting part:-
5. When it is nearing the time for the office warming, the owner or the manager would start the charcoal stove by lighting it up ..the coal and make sure that the charcoal is burning hot. This symbolises " boom " in business.
6. At the precise time (that was chosen), the owner has to place the stove at the centre of the main entrance. He has to walk over the stove with his left foot first, then followed by his right foot. His employees follow him behind and do the same.
7. The owner opens the main entrance door and takes down the red banner.
8. The black paper covering windows etc.. are quickly removed to welcome the `light' coming in.
9. Now, the power or lightings are switched on.
10. It is the belief that during this ceremony, all office employees stay around and should not leave the premises - symbolic of maintaining harmony.

Dear Cecil & Robert,
Happy new year and thank you
for all your help and efforts.
Although I find the theories
and application of feng shui
sometimes frustrating and at
other times "less"
frustrating, but for sure very
interesting. When I tell my
friends about feng shui they
ask me questions that i find
confusing to answer, I wish
you can help me in finding
answers. How would any kind of
element/color affect people's
luck?
Basically, Feng Shui and all other divinity methods has a single purpose - to try and increase one's luck.
In traditional Feng Shui, the common denominator is based on the Five Elements concept i.e. the elements of: Water, Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal.
This common denominator can be related in many of the concepts - in particular i.e. ' Flying Star Feng Shui and Pillars of Destiny.
There are many Feng Shui practitioners and in my opinion, I feel that some of these practitioners may not `live' up to the standard. Thus, the end result is that many people become disillushioned with it.
In addition, I personally feel that many people are also to be blamed. The rationale is unfortunately " greed ". I can understand money is important but, when we depart our hard-earned money to buy or enhance a sector, this can become worrisome. Or to buy e.g. a three-legged toad.
For example, I understand, that such objects costs money. And, we cannot automatically say that when we spend $XXX dollars of money, we can get back that amount or even more.
In order for Feng Shui or Pillars of destiny to work properly, this is usually done in a holistic way.
Thus, if one is a weak wood person, it would be nice to enhance one-self further with say water element. Since blue/grey or black represents water element - for personal self, one can enhance oneself with e.g. wearing a blue shirt. However, this does not automatically imply that one will get well off.
It is like taking exams, and the purpose is to score as much marks as possible in all areas rather than place it in one basket i.e. try to make sure that there is no poison arrows aimed at the home etc.. are some of the precautions needed.QuoteHow can for instance
metal coins suppress the
affect of certain numbers in a
house?
Yes, in particular under the Flying Star analysis, there is a bad #2 or sickness sector; traditionally, 6 metal coins is used to suppress this bad #2. Where 6 represents "big" - metal. Metal is used as a cure for this bad #2.
Alternatively, #5 would usually require `moving' metal eg. wind chime or a brass pendiulim clock.QuoteIs it safe to say that
those born on the same
year/day/hour have the same
character or luck?
No, this is not true under Pillars of Destiny.
The explanation given under Pillars of Destiny is that although one can be born on the same year/day/month/hour; we each grow up in a unique environment. This environment or (education) plus our personal experiences is what makes each individual different.

One must correctly understand the purpose of the Eight House Theory:-
1. In general, it can be used to find out how suitable a house is to the breadwinner.
2. It is good to have good intangible force in the bedroom.
If the sector is not as auspicious to one spouse but good for the other spouse; the spouse who has the "better" intangible force sleeps closer to that sector (shielding) the other partner.
Thus if North (bedroom) is an auspicious sector for the husband e.g. his health sector; while it is the disaster sector for the wife; then the husband sleeps closer to this sector.QuoteIN SUCH A SITUATION MY HOUSE

Dear Josephine,
1. Presently, from my personal observations, so far, I do not recall or find anyone, who was directly affected with books facing them.
2. However, based on the concept of " If one no longer sees it, it does not become a - threat ". One option, if you still want to cover the bookself is using e.g. a cloth or something of that nature or install cabinet doors.
3. Is the pillar pointed at the bed? If the pillar is not pointed towards the bed (but parallel to it this is OK. Not much one can do otherwise (to extend the "wall" or pillar such that it no longer becomes a pointed corner).
Warmest Regards,

Dear Anon,
In my opinion, this is not really a Feng Shui practise. Therefore, I am unable to comment further on this.

Dear Mimi,
1. It is best to look at the Flying Star charts for the two periods i.e. Period 6 and Period 7.
2. For speed and ease of identifying the problems, please e-mail robert-lee@geomancy.net with your : My Feng Shui " account so that he can give two Free Paid Flying Star Reports - for you to generate one chart under Period 6 and another Chart under Period 7. He will provide you with a Paid Pillars of Destiny report. (To determine her element and strenght. And also do look at the current 10 year luck period for any imabalances within the analysis).
3. In particular, try to look at both charts:-
Usually, the influence is caused by the `worst' chart i.e. I have seen many cases where, as you mentioned a Wang Shang Wang Shui house (which you had implied were good sectors).
In situations for example where if it happens to be a Double 6 or in your `implication' a Wang Shang Wang Shui house, then, we should not look any longer at Period 6 house.
In my opinion also, I feel that it the characterists of what you mentioned should come under the influence of a Period 7 as usually a Period 6 house (and should it be a Double 6) do not have - as far as I can remember those problems faced by your friend.
However, once you get the free paid report from Robert, try to look at both charts.
You should normally able to see from the chart, which is `worse-off'.
Try also to look at the three # number combinations i.e. #mountain # water with base #. Are there any imbalances. If not, advise your friend to cure these.
Also do take note of the Eight-One combinations interpretations of your friend's home chart.
If you need further advise on her chart, do let me know.
Have a nice HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Warmest Regards,

Dear Cecil,
I just did a reading on a
friend's house 256 degrees
Keng facing,Period 6. It is a
Wang Shang Wang Shui house.
(It had major renovation in
1991, they did replace tiles
on roof but did not take
actual roof off) Will this
affect the period of
construction?
Also, this house being
initially a Wang Shang Wang
Shui house, with a pool in the
back, constructed in 1977,
offset the energy of this
house? The histories of
different people living in
this house shows financial
difficulties, legal and
marriage problems...This
friend is recently separated
w/ 3 kids trying to make it on
her own...
What are your thoughts on this
house?
Thanking you in advance and
wishing you the very best New
Year,
Mimi Casavantes

Hellow Cecil,
I really appreciate your
website and your kindness for
all our questions.
1. What element is the
computer software programming
and computer engineer?
2.What element is courier
service?
Nowadays, it is much harder to `discern' the type of element related to a career. This is because of the element of `multi-skilling'.
It it common nowadays; for one to be `multi-skilled' not only in our job but in a wide spectrum of a job. For example, some of us may be an accountant, while others may be in PR, Marketing or Administration. Common usage of computers and other related equipment is very common. Thus, we are today - more `multi-skilled' than ever. And it thus much harder to define a job or relate it (totally) to one specific element i.e. water, wood, metal, earth or fire?
I would, in the above context, view say Computer programmer as " water element ". It again depends on the scope of job in general. As programming is much related to a `flow' of process. Much like the flow of water.
For a courier service, I may consider the job closer to the earth element. Since, in my opinion, he is quite close to the `earth' i.e. moving around. In some ways, a courier service support staff or Marketing/sales people may be closer to the `fire element'. (This is just an example).
Frankly, I feel that you may have a different opinion and this is quite fair. So long as we can somewhat justify what we feel or describe a situation, it can certainly hold true.Quote3. Do you go for a profession
that your element produces or
the element that produces your
element?
In Ba Zi or Pillars of Destiny, there is a particular module known as or something like " What career suits me ?"
Based on a person's Ba Zi or Eight Characters, Ba Zi or Pillars of Destiny theory/concept can classify each person as:
A. Career with Wealth
B. Career with Power and Authority
C. Suitable career.
In fact, at Geomancy.net, http://www.geomancy-online.com, the module name is : " What career suits me ? " and provides an analysis of the above based on one's element.
For example, is a Strong Wood element person:-
His career with wealth:
Earned wealth is Earth element
Unexpected wealth is Earth element
Since Earth represents the person's wealth, this means that a job representing this element would bring this person wealth.
It also gives the type of career relating to earth element e.g. civil engineering, clothing, construction, customer relations, farming.
Career with Power & Authority
This is also highlighted. And it is interesting to note that in the past, the Chinese are already aware of a career that creates wealth and a career that brings in Power and Authority for the person. For example, of power and authority could be the CEO, General Manager or other high positions. In Ba Zi this can be descibed as coming under Authority and determination. Thus for say a person with Strong Wood element such a career is represented by Metal element. Such as a carrier in entertainment, finance, hardware, investment, jewelry, loans, management consultancy, mechanical engineering, etc...
I will not go further into it.
Warmest Regards,
CecilQuoteTHanks a lot and Happy New

Dear Cindi,
1. Yes, in my opinion, one can certainly have a single mattress i.e. and keep it away daily the next morning.
2. This is secondary to Feng Shui and I feel that this is a practical approach in the use of limited space within the home.
3. I have heard that some FS practitioners are (quite) concerned with sleeping on a single mattress (within a bed post).
As some of these FS practitioners (feel) that a bed should be `raised' so that Qi can flow under the bed. In my opinion, this is again of secondary or not as important as other FS concepts or theories. For example, it is more crucial to check for poison arrow(s) aimed towards a home or thru the windows.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Donna,
1. Please refer to my earlier message. In general green represents growth and it is one of the recommended colours.
2. However, I personall feel that Feng Shui is not a `cure' all. It helps to enhance Qi. But in terms of human behaviour and interaction, this is more towards other disciplines such as Ba Zi (Pillars of Destiny).
In your environment, since there are so many individuals, it is not practical to try to use Ba Zi as it involves many people and their `interaction/cross-interaction' with each other.
In my opinion, this is why, we often hear that once a person gets to be 18 years or especially 21 years of age, it is pretty difficult to `change' someone. It is best in your situation to try to apply other "methods" such as those studied in Universities e.g.
Organisational Behaviour (some what close to such subjects).
Wishing you all the Best!
Warmest Regards,

Dear Christina,
Thanks for the detailed information.
If you have contacted a doctor and most likely he/she has confirmed that everything seems OK, if properly applied Feng Shui can help. Especially using the Flying Star Feng Shui to look at the overall situation.
Other disciples includes analysing you and your husband's Pillars of destiny to improve on the " Heaven Luck ".
Currently, the Horse Year is not favourable in particular especially to the Rat person. Who is born in the years - 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984 and 1996.
In the Chinese animal signs "zodiac" from the attached picture, it is interesting to note that the animal opposite each other has the `greatest' mismatch. For example, in the Year of the Horse, this is considered `bad' for a person born under the Rat year and vice versa.
You can read the general Forecast for Year of the Horse (2002) - 12 Feb 2002 to 31 Jan 2003 at this URL:
http://www.geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/forecast-2002.htm
Yes, bedroom should be properly analysed to increase the chances of fertility.
In my opinon, for your case, there is a very high chance that Feng Shui, can certainly help you in both conceiving and improving the luck of the family in the Horse Year.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
