Dear Anon, Overall, yin and yang cannot be really `seen'. It has different meanings such as bright and dark, hot or cold. It is easier to imagine what it is like. For example, in a room, one can make it more yang or more yin. More yang, would mean brighter colours or putting up bright posters etc.. Maybe perhaps, you could elaborate more, if I truly missed the point. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. It would be better if I could see a scanned image. 2. As you have described, it does not look `ideal' especially if there is a tilt. Frankly, I still not sure how much is the tilt or curve etc... Therefore, unable to give you a fuller analysis. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, You can find the pictures under the conference: Photo Tours of Interest.

Dear Anon, By any chance, is your bedroom door and your sister's facing each other (directly?) Thanks. Cecil

Dear Daniel, There are different ways to determine the best colour of carpet: 1. If one considers determining the colour under Feng Shui, it would involve finding out the person's element and it's strength. For example, if your element is a weak water person. You can consider a blue or green carpet (which represents) water element. A weak person need more water to balance him. Alternatively the productive element for water is wood. So go for a green or brown carpet. 2. If one considers two persons e.g. husband and wife and wants to find a binding element, can make use of the Pillars of Comparison at www.geomancy-online.com (for members) to find the binding element (colour). 3. If one finds Feng Shui (or above too troublesome) or complicated, then use personal feelings to buy what you like. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Karen, I believe that water leaks should be the pumbing of the house and not related to `omens'. Frankly, for now it is difficult to associate leaks with `Feng Shui.' It is best to have the pumbing fixed as soon as possible. For accessing the home, it is preferred that one uses the Flying Star theory to check for imbalances. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Elena, 1. Yes, you are quite right. Money plants comes in small, medium or large plants. Small plants merely have roots and can grow in a small bowl filled with water. Smooth rocks are placed to hold the plants. Here, the money plant does not look like it has vines. 2. It is more a western concern, I believe that plants do not have vines rather than Chinese belief. I believe there is no issue. Perhaps, you can let us know who mentioned the statement or perhaps, the author or the book. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Carrie, We have been looking into this issue for quite sometime. Initially, we were toying with time zones but based on the work done by Robert and myself, we prefer to take the season or time of influence from China. Let me explan why:- 1. Countries like Singapore is exactly on the same time zone as Beijing China. Hong Kong, Malaysia and Taiwan are equally within the same time zone. Even Perth Australia is exactly on the same time belt as Beijing. The rationale is because Chinese hour is two hours and not one hour. 2. Some western FS practioners use the time zone but did not take into account both the longetude and latitude. Bearing in mind these two influences, for the moment, we will stick to the influence from Beijing. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Fraser, Thanks for sharing with us your unique abilities. 1. It would be interesting to find out what is the full component of your Pillars of Destiny i.e. how many Yins and how many Yangs do you have. To see if there is a correlation i.e. whether for example you are more Yin or more Yang. One unique feature of Pillars that if one has more of the other, in total, too Yang may also change to Yin. 2. So far, I have yet seen anyone determine such a mix i.e. heaven to earth luck. I believe in order to find out, or even see if there is a correlation, a critical mass of at least 100,000 thousand to a million people need to be examined. The more, the better. Certain theories or majority of the Feng Shui theories e.g. Flying star is trying to look for imbalances or neutralising such imbalances. While others more proactive ones include placement of mountain and activating water star. Well good luck. Perhaps, it is never too late even in our life time to gather these facts first. One option is to ask users to fill in a survey. Hopefully honest answers. However, the questions has to be drafted properly (if possible). Get as many people to fill in. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Glyn, Yes, I agree with you that the mountain star #7 and #9 can be looked at especially if it can be located in the bedroom. You have posted this sometime back. Later, this info can be added to the computerised report to highlight this. My main concern is because, in the past, I do not have that many success with this recommendation i.e. only 2 out of 10 cases with fertility problems as mentioned by you worked. So the `odds' did not work that well for me. Usually, because of the advance in science, the couples instead (I am aware of), went to the doctor. The success rate here is I believe much better than Feng Shui. But your efforts are commendable. This why, I am quite hesitant to give `false' hopes pinned on Feng Shui. I am not sure if the weather has anything to do over here:) *Joke* as I read even wearing tight clothing and heatness could affect.. the males:) I hope we can do more research into this area. Warmest Regards, Cecil

The attached article re-enforce my sentiments that external factors may have more to do with fertility problems then `simply' relying on the `hope' of Feng Shui as a `cure'. Click on the attachment and read on... Warmest Regards, Cecil

You have heard the most recent term Kindergarten Feng Shui, another interesting description is called Credit Card Feng Shui. I refer to this interesting term as " Purchasing " on credit. In Feng Shui instead, it is like wanting to get auspiciousness or good luck on CREDIT. Does this sound familiar? Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, The element strength is not calculated under the free report. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Long Le, I have posted photos of money plants under the conference: Photo Tours of Interest (with Pictures). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Enclosed please find pictures of money plant. --Cross posted from Free Advice Forum -- Dear Longe Le, 1. A money plant leaf looks like `heart shaped'. I like the pattern of light green, sometimes white, beige colour on the leaves. 2. Frankly I have seen table sized money plants to huge big plants (leaves). 3. Will take a photograph for you to see. 4. Money plants are easy to grow and little maintenance required. Do note that although it is called a money plant, it is only a name and does not automatically signify that you will get `money'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Grateful if you can further elaborate on the extension. For example is it an `external' extension for a car park or an internal one. If internal, what is it used for. In addition, anyone who is familiar with the history of the house. This is because, beside the new extension, we could perhaps, `back-track' to see if any events match the flying star of the period. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, The first thing that strikes my mind when I read was message is the Lotus seed plant which can grow on water. When I have the time we can look at this topic of `water plants'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Fraser, To be totally honest with you, I have really do not have the "answer" to your question. Personally, I am not sure, also about the right mix. Even if I do know, it would be a very rough guess. One rationale is like the Management Theory " Situational Approach ": where it is said that no two situations are the same. "It depends". Some FS practioners would say that the 60 to 70 percent of Heaven Luck can be changed. Perhaps, we should consider what is the purpose for trying to determining the mix. I personally feel it is quite difficult to answer and not as relevant (to me). As more people want results rather than hypotical figures that they are not able to relate to. But if you are trying to look at a `bigger' picture of Feng Shui, this is fine:) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Dan, I am very glad that you have captured the essence that so many of us have missed! Yes, I totally agree with you that `Wealth' does not necessary only mean $$$. You can see why sometimes I may get "frustrated" when someone comes to me and simply ask me for their `wealth' corner. Great job Glyn! Wishing you and your family Health, Wealth and Happiness Always! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anne, True Feng Shui is not like `Credit Card' Feng Shui. One do not need to `purchase' something in advance in the hope that spending such money would get one riches. If one is not sure of where to place a picture of a waterfall, one should try not to place it. The other method is if one feels comfortable about it and really like the picture and have to `urge' to place it at a location. Ideally, pictures of water falls should not be placed in a bedroom. The more professional method is to use e.g. Flying Star to check if a sector has balance or imbalance. This theory can be used to check if there is or do not have an imbalance. If there is an imbalance and it is caused by too much water element, one should avoid placing it. Professional Feng Shui practitioners use this analysis for a more accurate picture. Off hand, I am unable to tell for sure if it is good or bad. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Daniel, I have posted a simple diagram showing the head facing a good direction under the conference: Photo Tours with interest. Please check out the picture in that conference. Warmest Regards, Cecil

First of all, let me apologise for this ugly drawing. I know it is no good. But I hope it makes it easier to understand for Dan. Enclosed please find a simple diagram showing what I mean by `Head facing a good direction'. Please note that this picture refers only to sleeping positions. Where when one sleeps (on a bed), one's head faces a good direction. One cannot expect to sleep upright and sleep with the head facing the `sky'. *JOKE* Below, Message cross posted from `Free Advice':- Dear Cecil, when you say your head should be facing your most auspisious direction, what do you mean? Your head should be in that direction, or you should be looking at that direction? Thanks Dan. -- End of message --

Enclosed please find ten motifs of the same Chinese symbol: Shou which means longevity. These symbols are commonly found on just anything. For example you can see the symbol on Chinese `antique' chairs, cushion covers, wood carvings on doors, panels. This symbol is also found on bedsheets, pillow covers etc... You name it, it is on the objects or items.

1. These pictures showing elaborate Chinese dragon motifs commonly found on Chinese vases, plates wood carvings. 2. In some pictures, you may have to `stare' hard to find the profile of the dragon. While in some photos, it is quite easy to spot the dragon. Hope you can locate the dragon! Happy dragon hunting! P.S. please ignore the second picture. As it is a duplicate of the first picture. Wrongly uploaded twice.
