Can I place TWO (2) Pi Xiu in my home? As the seller sold them as a pair. On 28 November 2018, an elderly client wanted to get rid of her single Pi Xiu. As she wanted to declutter her home. I told her simply wrap it up in a used newspaper and discard it in the bin after placing it in a plastic bag. When I told them that it is not ideal to place two in the home... she exclaimed: “ Two Pi Xiu(s) are meant for the gravestone!” Ha! Another good reason not to have them.” For information, the way to tell if the Pi Xiu is a me or female is to look at the crown. If there is something resembling a shoe ? be it one or Two shoes ? ? then this is a male Pi Ciu!

Your eyes are your intel. For the rest of us.. it is like the blind leading the blind...

Frankly, it is difficult to comment on just short sentences. “A picture paints a thousand words”. If in doubt skip it.

Today, 28 Nov 2018 paid a visit to The Terrace

I have written a booklet on the proper method for taking compass readings. If you do not use the correct technique—whether with a Luopan or a regular compass—the readings within a home can vary widely. This is because concrete homes contain steel bars embedded in the floors, support beams, and sometimes in precast concrete elements. All of these can affect compass readings, even within the same unit or in units above and below. The saying “A bad workman blames his tools” applies here. It’s understandable if this isn’t your area of expertise. Even experienced Feng Shui masters have asked me for advice on this topic, as they too find it puzzling when taking readings.

You wrote: 2. I have heard several contradicting information on placing the altar (see plan). Would like your advice. For A1, some said it is good but some said that it is no good as the back of Altar is to the main door - fear back-stabbing. For A2, some said it is the best place (buddha looks after us as we go out) but some said that it is no good as it faces the lift lobby and another neighbour's unit (worry that bad energy absorbed). For A5 & A6, some said not so good if in bedroom, somebody is sleeping with feet towards living room. Reply: All these areas were covered sufficiently in past forum messages. And there are aplenty. The fact that you are checking with A, B, C etc... will have no end in many different opinions. Thus do a search for "Altar" or "Guan Yin" in this forum and you can read many, many previous replies with similar configurations for the altar. For example, this single thread has lots similar configurations, as you can see from this thumbnail layout in the link As the resources in this forum is extensive and date back to 1998, please make an effort to use your fingers to do the searching..... For landed properties or the concept of altar facing a dining table = can? There are lots, lots more...

You wrote: 3. I have also heard some people saying that if the facing direction is 237 degrees, it is very no good. Is it true? If so, how to overcome. Reply: Concept of "Devil's gate" falls under SW1, SW2, SW3 and NE1, NE2 and NE3 The compass degree of 237 degrees falls under SW3. Please do a search in the forum for "Devil's gate" and one can understand the rationale for the concern of an altar facing NE (1,2, 3) and SW (1, 2 & 3) as shown above. Where SW3= 232.4 degrees to 247.4 degrees. Under this topic in the above link:-

Sloane Residences formerly known as Sloane Court launching soon developed by Tsky, a joint venture between Tiong Seng Group and Ocean Sky. Sloane Sloane Residences is a small, high-end condo in Singapore’s prime District 10. Basic Facts - Type: Private condominium (boutique) - Address: 17 Balmoral Road, Singapore 259803 (District 10) - Tenure: Freehold - Storeys/Units: Single block, about 12 storeys, ~50+ units (commonly cited as 52 units) - Developer: TSky Development (joint venture involving Tiong Seng & Ocean Sky) - TOP: Projected around 2022; effectively completed/ready by around 2022–2023 Unit Mix (typical) - 2‑bedroom - 3‑bedroom - 4‑bedroom Boutique layout with a focus on larger, more premium family units rather than mass-market shoeboxes. Location & Connectivity - Area: Balmoral / Bukit Timah prime residential belt - MRT: - Near Newton MRT (North–South Line & Downtown Line) – usually a short bus ride or ~10–15 min walk depending on exact route. - Road access: - Fast access to Orchard Road, Bukit Timah, and the CBD via Scotts Road, Bukit Timah Road, PIE/CTE nearby. Schools (major draw) The Balmoral/Newton area is popular for families due to branded schools. Within roughly 1–2 km you typically have (check exact distance for enrolment): - Anglo-Chinese School (Primary / Barker) - Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) - Singapore Chinese Girls’ School (SCGS) - St. Joseph’s Institution Junior Plus many enrichment centres and international schools a short drive away. Amenities & Neighbourhood - Very close to: - Orchard Road shopping belt - Newton Food Centre - Balmoral Plaza, and various F&B along Bukit Timah / Scotts - Area profile: Low- to mid-rise private condos and landed homes; quiet, upmarket residential feel rather than heartland-style bustle. Design & Positioning - Boutique luxury concept: - Small number of units → more exclusivity, less crowding at facilities. - Modern, understated façade, with facilities like pool, gym, function areas (scaled to the project’s size). - Target buyers: - Owner-occupiers wanting a **freehold** prime address near Orchard/elite schools. - Investors looking for a freehold District 10 boutique asset with potential tenant demand from expats and families. Investment / Market Angle (high level) - Pros: - Freehold in prime District 10 - Near top schools & Orchard Road - Low supply of new boutique projects in the immediate Balmoral area - Trade-offs: - Boutique scale means fewer and smaller facilities vs large mega-developments - Price PSF usually at a premium due to freehold + prime location + low unit count Street map of 2007 shows Sloan Court and at 2O’clock ACS Barker Road The 1966 street map also shows that the area around Balmoral has stayed pretty much the same. And ACS Secondary is still at the same site.

I suggest you read this article https://www.geomancy.net/forums/topic/16637-an-in-depth-understanding-of-the-frontage-of-a-home-is-it-always-the-main-door-who-are-the-conservatives-the-modernist-what-lead-to-the-conservatives-use-of-the-main-door-only/ Sound logical in e explanation

Most EC and condo units usually keep the main door closed when not in use. This helps reduce issues related to stars 5-2 or 2-5 in the master bedroom, if present. Additionally, a remedy can be applied here if needed. For those who are not familiar with the term "frontage," you can read this article for more information:
