Hi,
This is not a real issue because under the Eight House Theory, one aspect is that it is advantages or good to have the `kitchen' location where the spouse or " woman " of the house have the good intangible force in that sector despite whether there is a oven or a microwave in the location.
Warmest Regards,

Dear cecil,
My oven is located on the
prosperity line(W) and
microwave is located on the
longevity (NW) line. I read
that the appliances should be
kept near death and disaster
line. But in my
case it is on good line. Is
there anything
I can do. I can move microwave
but it still
going to be prosperity line.
Please advise me. Thanks.

Dear Viviana,
Hope you can elaborate what you mean by "carrier zone." Are you refering to " Career ".
Presently, there is no known effective cures for a staircase at the centre of the house.
You may consider:-
1. One or two potted plants at the ground level.
2. This is optional and you may need to monitor but one can place a mirror a the staircase landing. (This is a traditional `cure').
Warmest Regards,

Hi,
It is ok to have marble on the floor.
Murals for decoration are fine. Provided it is not a water scenery covering the entire mural or of `hungry', prowling animals.
It is quite uncommon in most regions to have murals on the ceiling. Frankly it is also new to me so at this point unable to comment further.

I needed to what is the

We know what it is from the

It is explained in the website. Perhaps, do a SEARCH either in the forum or at http://www.geomancy.comQuotewhat about water star. How it
is activated
and where it is activated.
What is the significance of
water star. Thanks.
Water star is automatically activated if there is a clear space at the location. For example, immediatley outside the main entrance, you should have a clear space. Alternatively, if it is the living room, for example, the `centre' portion should have clear or flat space.

Hi,
The Eight House Theory applies to a person's auspicious sector and direction. It cannot `determine' if one can place a fish tank at the location.
If the purpose is to `drown' the death sector then this is wrong. The Eight House cannot be used to analyse a situation.

Dear Anna,
Sorry for the delay in reply.
In general, if you have a small studio apartment, you can do the following:-
1. You can still use the Eight House Theory and divide your house into eight sectors.
2. Try to proritise or place your bed to confirm under the Shapes and Form School i.e. avoid having it facing the door a toilet etc...
3. See whether your bed can fall within one of the 4 auspicious sectors of your house.
Once you have arranged your bed, then the rest of the `furniture' will fit in naturally.
Where possible, use your instincts and place them where you like. For the worktable, place it against a wall.
If you do a SEARCH in this forum for "studio " you most likely will find quite alot of advise given previously on the Studio Apartment.
An octagon shape, although not ideal is still acceptable.

they are hanging from a

large closet with 3 sliding
doors is immediately to the

directly in front of, but sort

kitchen area. I can't move
anything in there. The sink is
to the left and there is a
microwave on the counter next
to the stove and the stove is
separated from the
refrigerator by part of the
kitchen counter. I have a
pink/peach beaded curtaining
hanging in the kitchen
entryway. To the right of the
kitchen is a semicircular
cement bar area. Directly to
the right of that is the door
to the bathroom. To the right
of the bathroom is an open
space with one regular flat
wall to the right. It sort of
faces the door. Then there is
a little step underneath a
large rectangular archway
which leads into the other
part of the apartment. If you
kept turning right (which
means your back would be to
the door and the door would be
behind you on the right hand

Dear Dekay,
A Warm Welcome to the Forum.
This is symbolic of " stepping on Gold ". Try to get the Chinese coins or copper coins i.e. those that look like `gold'. However, this is a very general concept.

Dear Ber,
As Joe correctly pointed out where best, try to avoid mirrors especially large ones in the house.
1. Mirrors are of the YIN element.
2. Mirrors located at a " wrong " location can bounce back twice the bad luck.
3. It is common for the Cantonese (A dialect group of the Chinese) to install a large mirror in the dinning room in the hope that it will bring them auspiciousness.
But as I mentioned above, becareful where you install it.
4. It is not advisable to have a mirror in one room, `shine' towards another room as we do not know what we are bouncing unless one does a Flying Star chart to analyse further.

Dear Robert and Cecil,
I read that the center of the
house should not have a
staircase and toilet. Sad to
say, my house has both a
staircase and a toilet located
in the center. Is there a
cure for this? Please help.
Frankly, there is no known effective cures for this.
For the toilet:-
1.The best you can do is to keep it bright and dry and close the door when not in use.
2.Avoid placing any mirrors close to the centrepoint of the house as it will a disturbance of Qi as light is deflected.QuoteMy bedroom occupies the south
sector (disaster) and half the
SW sector (prosperity) of the
house. The entrance of the
bedroom door is located in the
SW sector and also faces SW.
My bed is located in the SE
sector of the bedroom. Will I
encounter a lot of
difficulties in this case. My
kua no. is 8.
The Eight House cannot be used to determine or analyse in detail. Under the Eight House, the only best thing to do is to sleep closer to e.g. the Prosperity line.
This takes second or third priority to Shapes and Form with regards to the bedroom. For example, try not to have the bed facing the bedroom door. The proper tool to analyse a house is using the Flying Star.QuoteIs it more important to have
the main door face a good
direction or for it to be
located in a good sector.
For the main door, priority should be given for it to face a good direction. Here, if it faces your Excellent location, for example this is good.
Usually, when your main door faces a good direction, usually this is also a good sector unless your door is `slanted' at a large degree to another direction.QuoteAlso, is it more important to
get the main door face a good
direction or for the bedroom
to be located in a good
sector.
I find that it is really
difficult to find a perfect
house unless you build it from
scratch.
Yes, I agree with you in this situation. As we cannot buy a perfect house, we can try to minimize buying a really " bad " house e.g. full of missing corners or toilets in the wrong locations.
We should bear in mind that if a house chart is considered " auspicious ", however, if its shape and form is really bad e.g. toilet above the main entrance, blue roof etc... This is bad.

Cecil

Dear Toni,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
Since the religion is predominantly Christian, in general, even if there are spirits, usually they are quite harmless.
First of all, avoid any metallic wind chimes or any metallic fliers or anything that makes metallic sound.
Keep the room bright and introduce a more Yang environment:-
1. In terms of interior decor, use bright colours. Avoid dark colours.
2. Avoid having ceramic vases or any display items e.g. wood scuptures etc...
3. It is good if the office can have some music e.g. soothing sounds or even tune in to offical radio channels to increase the Yang element.
4. Ideally, your partner element strength should be " Strong " and not weak. If weak, may need compensation to increase the strength.
A person of `weak wood' may need some control or help to increase the wood element particularly in a Yin environment.
As I do not have more detailed information of your partner's element and strength, I am unable to comment further i.e. the strongest Yang environment for your partner's office is in the range of Red .... Pink... Purple. But not sure if there is any impact on his element and strength. For example, if he is a weak fire, ideally he can introduce pink, red or purple in his environment.

Dear Ber,
In general, it is OK to plant a few pot of plants.
For plants that flower, after you place the plant do " monitor " the plant to see if it flowers. If it does, generally, this is auspicious.
Potted plants are quite safe:-
1. If you do not have many but a few e.g. two or three is acceptable.
2. In a pot, they cannot grow `wildy' or grow too large. This is good.
3. Bamboo plants are acceptable also.
Again in a very general sense, if you have a few pot of plants placed moderately, this is OK.
4. Do not plant them directly `cutting' the main entrance door is fine. Placing them around the house is OK.
At the West, avoid large trees or untrimmed trees that can grow like a jungle. I had mentioned that too many trees create a too yin environment and try to avoid it at the West location.

Hi,
Here, you must note that there is a `Ranking' or `Priority' i.e. it is more important to be at a good sector of influence rather than face a good direction.
For example, if you are constantly sleeping at one of your auspicious/good sectors, this is considered good. It would be better if you can sleep in a auspicious/good sector and also face a good direction.
Contrast this to sleeping in an inauspicious sector but facing your good direction. It will not do much good here.

Hi,
It is acceptable to have a coin in the mouth and this signifies a " close mouth. "
As for the dragon figurine(s):-
1. The Dragon is considered the most Yang of all animals.
2. If one's main door falls under an inauspicious sector of the Eight House one can still use a pair of Dragons (one is still ok) aimed at the main door).
3. Where possible avoid using a Five Claw dragon as it is too yang for the home. It is best to use a four claw dragon.
4. So far, a dragon with an open mouth is acceptable. In fact most of the dragons have open mouth for them to `shoot' fire. Contrast this is a hungry tiger figurine which is inauspicious.

Hi,
In my country, we are not accustomed to keeping python, spiders and other snakes as pets.
However, it would depend on the custom of a locality or country. Normally, such animals are not kept in a bedroom. There is no written document in the past on the above so looks like it is `new territory'.
Overall, one can still apply the Yin and Yang concept and classify such animals and relate it to Yin and Yang. From the looks of the creatures, they are in my opinion generally considered Yang insects and reptiles. Here, one should have a balance between Yin and Yang. In the bedroom, again depending on who is sleeping there i.e. if it is a child, a more Yang environment is acceptable as it promotes growth.
In Chinese symbolism, spiders are considered one of the most dangerous insects. (This is just a passing remark).
In my opinion, if it is common in your area, then it is ok.

Hi,

Usually, the author would provide some information on their School. If it is BTB (Black Hat Sect) my advise is to avoid these books.
