That direction is facing the lift / lift lobby area, I hope there are no conflicts. 1. It is always good to share more information. As my earlier advice was simply based purely on a 2D layout plan and "best placement". Since that direction is facing the lift/lift lobby area, then there is indeed a conflict i.e. in this instance, may not be appropriate to place it there.

I understand that ideally a fire/water applicance should be in L shape located to each other, but there are only 2 L shape corners to my kitchen. Or does it mean that as long as the water/fire appliances are a certain distance from each other, it's fine also?Or is there any other rule of thumb to follow? Frankly, quick one glance at the above... and that's it!Imagine, try to apply a job with the same technique......

1. Some Geomancers consider "water" in the bedroom as:- 1.1. Some defined water as a Yin element : thus to them water is not suitable to be used in a "yin" location e.g. such as a bedroom. Here, it is a "static" painting, and not real moving water. 1.2. There are some who consider a painting of a water fall, as "moving" water ... so to them their interpretation is that since a bedroom should be for rest "yin"; then moving water = Yang is not suitable in a bedroom environment. 2. Frankly, these are the two most common interpretations by different Geomancers. Again, there is no right or wrong answers. See which or both appeal to best to the lay person. 3. What is really the definition of Yin Water and What is Yang Water? The proper definition is as follows:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=15024&new=

1. Flying Star Feng Shui and Ba zi has a Lowest Common Denominator (LCM) i.e. all it's components can be further analysed under the Five Elements concept. 2. As mentioned, in my previous msg, what I need to say has already being said about the Eight House concept. You can also read up this link:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Three-Step-Approach

1. Both Eight House and Flying Star Feng Shui belong to the Compass School of Feng Shui. And compass school Feng Shui considers compass directions. 2. For the Eight House concept: there is "no cure" other than say not spent time at a sector - sometimes impractical especially if this is the location of your bed. 3. While, what you mentioned, below; if it is based on Flying Star, depends on exactly which flying star facing direction e.g. South 1, or South 2/3 and even the Period this home is in.

Not sure how true it is or is there anything I can do to make things better? 4. On your question, below; this is not the first time nor your unit is one and only one in the whole of Singapore or the world that has this layout plan. 4.1. For example, in this attachment, even the lastest larger units at Pinnacle at Duxton, also has such layout plans. And these flats are 50 stories high with many units of the same layout plan. 4.2. One advantage of such a layout is that the main door does not directly face an open window or balcony.. this is a plus point.... 4.3. Many other older HDB flats also has this kind of layout plan... thus the sayings goes "no big deal".

1. Very small items no issue such as USB thumb-drive. 2. Usually photos on their own - no issue. But it is kept in one of those especially A3 sized bulky album then the best is to remove the photos and throw away the album. 3. For the camera:- 3.1. Check if it was his favourite camera or not? If it is one of his favourite camera and/or 3.2. It is roughly the size or equivalent to todays' Sony Alpha series e.g. DSLR-A230; then it is best to avoid keeping it. Anything smaller, such as equal to today's portable camera is OK. 4. Usually, you will "know". If afterwards, no more bad streak; then these things don't have residual "value". 5. With modern technology; the other thing to watch are photos that are A4 sized and above! Sometimes, these hold residual "value" ...... one way is to scan the image and then tear the photo(s) away.. never burn them. And dispose accordingly - if string of bad luck occurs.. Most unlikely; but do monitor the situation. Philip O. wrote: Thank you so much Cecil.

The saying goes: "Take no for all answers!" Even if move-in rituals were predominantly a Chinese thing; "You have to squezee out some procedure for us NON-Chinese, you know!" It is not good enough that you provide free combined auspicious dates: "It must be for ALL MY Family members, you know!" Luckily.. not many are like this...

I do hope that you are not practising one of those "fixed template" ba gua sort of thing. Where incredibly one lays a fixed template with things like North = Career etc... onto a layout plan.

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Remove it during Yang timing especially best with natural daylight. Thus if you are at home; the best time to remove it is between 11am to 1pm and not later than 3pm. (3pm onwards is yin timing). 2. The most common method of disposalofitems (if it is "clean")is to warp it up in clean used newspaper. Place it into a normal plastic bag and throw it into the bin. 3. In fact, the rationale for your previous master's writing is to protect the ba gua mirror with a charm. Thus it seems puzzling that such a mirror can offend "yin" energies. 3.1. Frankly, this ba gua mirror and charm is suppose to be effective for "Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese and even Malay (Indonesian) entities. Perhaps, the main suspect is that other than to "cure" sha qi or poison arrows; it's the other half usage i.e. offering "protection" from yin entities may not be as effective say in a different cultural environment such as Australia (the natives of Australia and especially the past British backwater country. 3.2. Only if an item has been "possessed" by an entity; the safe-guard is throwing it into the sea. This is a common "effective" practise. 4. Sometime back, Chinese family, brought home a "Japanese entity housed in a Japanese casket object. Initially, the lady was given lots of luck e.g. winning lottery... but there was a shelf-life.. it later took the lady's soul. And the only way to dispose of such things is to the sea. 5. Thus, avoid burying the ba gua mirror - especially if it is picked up in the future by some innocent persons. Also never intentionally or unintentionally burn such things. One may accidentally create a portal. It is even worst to bury it at NE (as many cultures have felt that it is the gate from Hell) and SW the (devil's backdoor). 6. On the commonsense approach to Feng Shui; even in Singapore; where there are many different religions; the market value of a home can even be affected by visual appearance! For example, Singapore does have a sizeable Christian population. And even before Christians step into a home to view it; seeing a ba gua mirror is often a turn-off for them ... 7. As to your current Geomancer's suggestion: to sell the home. Did you sound out to the geomancer that you intend to sell your home? Or is he who suggested it. If you have been "happily" living in the home with relatively no issues ... even if life is mundane... then you better think twice. 8. Frankly, in my opinion, not many Geomancers have a "third-eye". Caveat Emptor: Let the "buyer" beware... 9. Another concept to consider: If it ain't (seriously) broken.. don't (sell) fit it! applies 10. In my opinion, something as small as this hardly can be "possessed" or "active" especially if it has a mirror : be it a flat or either convex or concave mirror on it and the mirror is not blurr. Thus - in most instances disposal under Para 2 is acceptable. Carolyn G. wrote: Dear Master Lee We have been living in present house for past 10 years and after we moved in, a fengshui master wrote some chinese words behind our bagwa mirror and this have been hanging outside eversince. 3 months ago another fengshui master (he can see energy 'yin or yang' with his eyes) who visited our house suggested we should sell and also commented that the mirror has offended some 'yin' energies into our home and is stopping us from selling or moving out. We're thinking of removing the mirror and dump into the bin. Would this be the correct method or respect 'it' by burying in the ground? Some masters recommend throwing it into the sea. Pls. advise. Much appreciated.

These are some considerations:- 1. Feng Shui cannot be done by remote control. For example, moving to a new home say in US; does not affect things that happen in Singapore (sorry to hear about your brother's demise). 2. Feng Shui or one of it's major schools: Compass School comprising the Eight House and Flying Star are both compass based. However, in real life situations; some other forms of magnetic influence can over-ride the Feng Shui. 2.1. For example, in real life situations, there are indeed cases of hauntings. Where, part of a geomancer's occupational hazard is to meet such things once a while. For example, our tools like the Luo Pan with it's compass needle will spin around... 2.2. Around 8 years ago, one gentlemen called me up and asked me to Feng Shui his home in Haig Road: one of the blocks and he was staying at 2nd storey. His flat was converted from 3 rooms to a 6 room flat by the government. And this flat was vacant for around 1 year. The old owners left two green Chi Lin (Two Fu Dogs figurines) and one Quan Yin (Goddness of Mercy) figurine in the home. 2.3. This new owner had no heart to throw these three figurines away ... and decided to house it in a display cabinet looking towards the main entrance door area. 2.4. He has young children. And he said that when he moved in; his two children often got dreams of being suffocated (or suffocation). And his eyes ... have those "dark rings" ... not those cosmetic ones but those having had a house posessed sort of thing. 2.5. Originally he thought that it was due to someone commiting suicide and falling down and hit the head against the concrete railing just before his main entrance door area. 3. Actually, it was someone who had died at a funeral at the void deck; and this person; chose to live in the vacant home (1 year vacant). And this family of four came to "trespass" in his new home. This entity hid in the Quan Yin figurine. 4. In the past, I have mentioned that there were other situations where such entities does hid in vases etc... 5. If in doubt never bring home any antique furniture - if we don't really know it's history or especially photos and glass crystals. 6. Drawing a parallel from what you had written; although the items are of sentimental value of sort; unless one is able to "check" these items to see if they are clean or not; it is very hard to guess whether if any such objects bring bad luck or not. 7. In the past, another case in mind was: government wants back the land; grave had to be exhumed; the grave digger found skeleton and a black button. The grave digger gave it to the grandson who is only 5 years old and was present at the grave... After doing so; the grandson cried continously.. and ritual was done .. and everything went back to normal. .. 8. In your case; to reduce the string of problems; the most common Chinese custom is:- 8.1. Seriously consider not holding at all any belongings of your brother. Best method is to wrap items in clean newspaper and dispose of the items in the regular trash bins. Best not to give these items away. 8.2.Purchase assorted flowers and if possible 3 limes - cut in4 quarters(last resort is lemon x 3), gete.g. a plastic bowl.For all family members especially yourself and your partner; after bathing, pour the water with the assorted flowers and 3 limes EACH.You can collect the items and discard them. 8.3 Avoid going into the bathroom for the NEXT THREE hours. 8.4 Best is that the male breadwinner do it one say Day 1; and then female person next day or at least 5 hours later if the same bathroom are used. 8.5 Best timing for this activity is between 7am to 9am and 11am to 1pm. If working do this on a non-working day especially Saturday or Sunday. (Not necessary for your son or daughter). 8.6 If need be, repeat this flower bathe one more time - one month later. 8.7 This time round - it would be nice if the flower bathing activity (NICE-to-do) on a full moon day or on the 1st or 15th lunar day of the month. 8.8 Hopefully when your brother "passed away"; he was not hand-cuffed by the police. (Even after death). It is good that relatives in Singapore could approacha temple in Singapore. In my opinion; by far the better temple is the Quan Yin temple at Queens Street -(Godess of Mercy). Family members there should direclty buy the flowers and lime from that temple to do this flower bathe exercise in Singapore. Of course - this option is not applicable given the distance between US and SGP. 9. For those who have an altar at home; a Chinese Luo Pan can be placed "hidden" below the altar or altar drawer immediately below the figuirine (but the needle alignment unfortunately should be done by an expert). Some place the luo pan vertical but again - must seek advise from an expert as it is far more trickly with the vertical placement.

In my opinion, the problem has more to do with noise pollution: depending on the operational hours of the MRT trains e.g. 6.00am to 12.00pm. The Metropolitian 6 Alexandra View (S) 158746 Late last, year when this condo TOP, I was at a client's unit - facing and parallel to the MRT track. This unit is at #08-xx. Even with suppose to be better built quality and double glazed windows (closed) the noise can still be very irritating. HDB Woodlands, 688B /688C Woodlands Drive 75. (S)732688 Around 6 years ago when these flats were newly completed. Clients home was away from the MRT track parallel to these blocks: 688B and 688C. Even in my clients flat facing south... the noise is very evident. Modena and also Tropical Spring 35 Simei Street 4. (S)529869 Tropical Spring is a U shaped block and around 2003, a client had a unit just next to the mrt track. The unit is facing the pool but only a wall separates the unit from the MRT track (running parallel) to it. Each time the MRT trains pass thru.. there is a roaring sound... However, it is different if it is an LRT track as these trains run on rubber tires .. no sound at all. Therefore, the issue lies with "noise pollution". And for future resale... the major headache is that many will shun buying the units - noise, noise, noise... very irritating... Note: MRT track running parallel to a block of flat will not pose or create a poison arrow even towards flats at the same height as the MRT trains. Only tracks that curve inwards towards the specific units would be a concern.

1. When we make a decision; the minimal decision is the need to look at - at least three VARIABLES. 2. For example, the 20 Year Flying Star chart has three variables: the Mountain star #, the Water star # and the base or palace star #. 3. With this "minimum" - better still with the 81 combinations; then one can make a PROPER decision. 4. As I mentioned, your statementsimply say "I want to disarm the No. 3 star." Majority of the time; or in general: no. 3 can be disarmed by light or red colour which is technically correct - but do not forget to consider the other two variables or even if this is the annual star; the other three variables under the 20 Year Flying Star Feng Shui should be considered. 5. The French word to note is : Triage.... http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=24431&new In the above link, Para 5.1 ...... and also under Para 6.1. Again, I had quoted another example:- The senario is like this:- This man walks into a 24 hour Accident and Emergency clinic. He immediately by-pass the triage (mursing diagnostic questions and check-up or screening by a nurse). He enters the doctors room: "Doctor, what iswrong with me?" I DEMAND TO KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME??? The Doctorsaid to him "I won't know! Youdid not even go thru the screening.You are being unreasonable to ask me what is wrong with you. Without even me looking at your case file, blood tests and or x-ray information. " GET THE HELL OUT OF MY ROOM! And be reasonable! Go now.. and get a number and wait foryour turn! -- End of quote -- Anonymous wrote: Dear Cecil, Regarding cures, I asked about the light because I wanted to disarm the No. 3 star and read a previous forum exchange regarding red lamps plus inactivity. I was thinking however, by leaving the light on, is it not the same as making the area active? From the chart however, I saw that red carpets will do. Thanks for your gracious reply.

How to earn pocket change during Chinese New Year! 1. The ingredients:- 1.1. Fixed assets: a Chinese drum and several other musical instruments. 1.2. A full Lion head and costume and some flags 1.3. Gather a group of family members and friends: usually 5 to 6 persons 1.4. Provide them standard co-ordinated performing uniform (prior to this : best that they are all Chinese (or Chinese look); two members must know how to do a lion dance or the motion of the lion dance. Two or three members must know how to play the drum and other nosiy instruments 1.4. Loan or rent a panel van. 2. Go around Singapore e.g. Dry and Wet Markets (to each individual stalls) by getting the Lion to greet them. Can also visit standalone shops and shopping centre shops. 3. Automatically, those whom "agree" to be greeted; will give "you" a Red packet containing $$ or $$$. Usually amount can range from $20 to $120 even. 4. Within this 15 days; go to as many places as possible. 5. Counter the supernormal profits (non-tax) and split it amongst all your members. 6. Depending on your hard work; you may even earn as little as $1,000 each to as much as $5,000 or $10,000 each... from such "work". Wow! I can see your eyes wide open .. and your mouth salivating....

The picture shows a variety of incense burning containers found outside the main door of many Chinese homes. These incense burning containers are to contain paper offerings to the GODs especially during every 1st and 15th day of each lunar month (full moon days)...

1. This huge lantern must have been made from labour of love and thousands of Chinese New Year (CNY)Hong Bao (Red packets). Red packets are envelopes where money is inserted and given out during CNY 2. Each individual ingot was made from several of these Red packets. 3. This "master piece" is truly a labour of love... location: Redhill Lane Market...

1. Early, I am referring to real water. 2. Another form of "water" or some refer it as "yin" water is possible. Yin water can be considered as colours or e.g. wall paint &/or curtains &/or bed sheet. 3. Water element in terms of colours: Blue, black or grey or shades of them. It can also be wavy pattern. 4. You might want to use colours instead or "Yin water instead". But definitely not REAL water especially an aquarium in the bedroom. 5.In this modern commercial times; where everthing is "in the name of Feng Shui"; frankly, many have the idea thatsuccessfullFeng Shui isabout enhancing wealth and thinks ways and meansto try enhancing their home not knowing that some homeshave literally "JUNK" Feng Shui. 6.For example,of course there are some homes that are like unpolished gems. And luckily for such homes; just activating a proper water feature e.g.at a wealth location and it happens to be at the correct location e.g. a water postion at the balcony. 7. However,majority of the time; some homes are like a 10 YEAR OLD, 1,000cc car.No matter how one try's to enhance "wealth" for such a lousy home... cannot be dreaming andhope that this house can turned into a brand new Ferrari. Htng H. wrote: Well, Singapore is a place where houses are built not by us and I would presume at least 50% of the wealth spots are in bedrooms, study rooms, kitchen, toilets, store-rooms, dining rooms etc... 8. More likely, the key success factors for such homes are:- * Fix-the-Leak, First! * The Concept of Maximizing Marks

These are some considerations:- 1. Many proper books or geomancers will say this "It is a waste your water wealth falls in your bedroom". 2. One read of the above "It is a waste...." should give the hint clearly, already.. no need to elaborate further. 3. Some Geomancers mentioned why water position is no good in the bedroom. Usually, their concern is that water (or still water) is considered YIN. And a bedroom is already yin (for rest) thus; water is not harmonious for a bedroom. 4. If it cannot be seen, it no longer is effective. Thus if one becomes creative and wants to place a water bed.. it is not proven that it is = activating water wealth. 5. It is very common to hear... "what a waste... the very auspicious Double #8's are wasted in the kitchen etc... 6. Drawing a parallel: if one has a family of 8 (7 adults and say 1 child); goodness me... if one owns a saloon car that can sit 5 persons the most; how in the world can we squeeze all 8 persons into this saloon car? FULL STOP. If you really want to do so; go get a Multi-purpose Vehicle or van! There is no if's or buts, here. 7. If the toilet falls in the wealth sector: Can I make this into my study or bedroom..... Well ... no one is stopping "YOU" right? Hasta la vista baby! Go make my day!

1. Frankly, there are many types of cures. And most importantly, a sector should be looked at in terms of at least the 3 variables under the 20 Year Flying Star Feng Shui. 2. It cannot be that only wind chime is used to disarm #5 as an example. #5 can also be disarmed using say a water position provided all the 3 variables: MS# WS# and Base# stars "look rite". Tess C. wrote: Dear Cecil, To activate good sectors we make it more yang with movement and lights. However, when we come across bad stars like the No.3 we introduce lights as fire element cure and with No. 5 we hang wind chimes which has movement. My question then, are we not activating the sectors by the cures? Tess C. wrote: Another question, which member of the family will be affected by the bad stars in a sector? Example annual star 2 in the North with 6ms 8ws 3base occupied by the eldest daughter with personal kua no. 7 . Whose health would most likely suffer in this scenario? The occupant, the middle son because North is his palace, the father (6), the youngest son (8), the eldest son (3) or those with personal kua of 6 and 8? Thank you very much for your time. I enjoyed reading your replies in the forum. 3. Please see example: attachment. 3.1. There is such thing as Eight-One Combination: 3.1.1 Combinations are fixed detailed description of different combinations as the numbers of the stars comes together. It provides short explanation of the combination effects. 3.2. For example in the attachment: 3.2.1 INFLUENCE OF A SECTOR TO A SPECIFIC FAMILY MEMBER(S) 3.2.2 North-East : [9] & [7] - Heart illness. Thus the implication is if this is a bedroom; and whoever sleeps in this bedroom can be affected by Heart illness. 3.2.3 While at North direction: [7] & [9] - Internal Intestine illness. Thus again, whoever spends time at this sector can get intestine problems. 3.2.4. Spent time at e.g. West:- [1] & [6] - Power and Authority (Especially good for police or uniformed personnel). Good for an adult. Or if it is a living room; applies more to an adult e.g. the breadwinner vs a young child. 3.3. ACTIVATING A SECTOR FOR OVERAL LUCK ESPECIALLY TO BENEFIT THE BREADWINNERS South direction: [8] & [8] - Prosperity, good wealth. 3.4. THE BAD STARS ARE IN A GENERAL SECTOR E.G. THE LIVING ROOM AND BALCONY AREA In this example, if the qi coming thru a balcony or window into a living room at NW; has [2] & [5] - Stars 2 and 5 meet. This spells trouble. Star 2 will mean sickness in the family (especially your mother). Star 5 would mean some outdoor accident or troubles. Often for such cases, usuallyit can affect any family member. 4. In general if the MS #8 is not at the same place as WS #8, each of these sector(s) can be activated separately. 4.1. For example correctly activating Mountain Star MS#8 is meant for: Networking, relationship, lottery, bonus, promotion and general health of family members. 4.2. Activating Water Star #8 has more to do with career luck... Frankly, all these are kinda of an "automatic" response especially for those skilled in charting out the Flying Star chart; interpreting and formulating enhancements or cures. It comes naturally much like a doctor using a rubber mallet to test out the nerves of the calf of one's leg -- the leg always "shot up wards" under such a response. I really don't know about layperson who may not be too family on such matters.. Not that they are spastic or anything like that.. just that they may be groping in the dark or "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing". Just like many Catholic priests especially those well read and even had to study latin to understand the bible - whom take at least 10 years or more of thourough studies. On the other hand; I have ever encountered before some Christians who just go for a few study lessons and start preaching (actually cursing other religions - Catholic included). Sub-standard yet, think they know it all. My god.
