Dear Anon, In Traditional Feng Shui:- 1. The main door is important as it is like the `mouth' of the house. 2. The main important thing here is that the main door, must be "protected". "The mouth must not be hurt". For example, if a sharp corner of another building points to the house, it is known as Sha Qi or poison arrows. Other common arrows include, a single lamp post that slices the main door (tangent to it). Here, if one stands at the main door and looks out of the house, the object e.g. a lamp post should not slice the main door. 3. Besides, the main door, the frontage e.g. windows, should also be `protected' from some of the harm as mentioned above. 4. Traditional Feng Shui does not use `fixed' template theories. Thus, the mention that the main door energy gets confused ... etc.. is difficult to `prove'. 5. Shapes and Form Feng Shui is important, from the point of view of the external of the house and (later) position of the furniture. 6. It is best to `give' up the idea of career sector, relationship sector... 7. As mentioned above, and also the fact that how much we would want to go into Feng Shui. 8. If one simply only wants to use the more `basic' Feng Shui, go for Shapes and Form Techniques. 9. Even if the main door is closed or has a second door, outside, e.g. a grille, this is still acceptable. Here, one do not expect to open the door all the time: Yet, how does Qi comes in? 10. Thus the frontage of the house or other windows, does allow Qi to flow in. It is the nature of windows etc.. that Qi can also come in. 11. For more advanced techniques at looking at a house, the Flying Star theory is still the most important. This `magical' mathematics, is still the most accurate for identifying problems and providing `enhancements' (if there are such as activating the water or mountain star). 12. Thus, it is best to differentiate `Kindergarten' Feng Shui such as `Fixed Templates'. These theories can be discounted totally. Some have no basis in Feng shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Should I wear a hard hat for safety reasons?

Dear Steven, Generally, it is very difficult to comment based on a few characters of the English language, as there are many variants or terminology used. Perhaps, if you can later recall, some of the characteristics, this may help. Some Chinese Feng Shui methods, may not be accurate because, in the past, it was said that a certain Chinese emperor, planted falsehood, while selfishly kept the `real secrets' with him etc... Thus, not all literature, even in the past may be used. Warmest Regards, Cecil Thank

Dear Anon, Apologies, are the hands pointing towards the sky (vertical upwards) or level i.e. horizonal position? Warmest Regards, Cecil

This chap, got a job just by wearing a hat:)

Dear Carolyn, Then this is acceptable especially if you have a reasonable sized plot of backyard:) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Usually, it would not be inauspicious, unless it is particulary, at the sector, diagonal to the room i.e. if there are road works carried outside the house, it may create some `disturbance' e.g. health problems for some. This is particularly, more evident, in cases where the Grand Duke location has been distrubed. http://www.geomancy.net/fs/duke.htm Warmest Regards, Cecil
