If each candle denotes 10 years, it means that you are 10 x 3 or 30 years old!

1. Generally, it is considered "a real pity" that the double auspicious #8's are "trapped - or for some - directly burned by the stove". 2. Overall, thus the gist of it is " what a pity! ". 3. The most natural thing is always good to have double auspicious #8's at the frontage e.g. the living room area - where natural flow of air (and good qi can come in). 4. One may try to activate the mountain star - but to activate a water position, is a double edged sword ina kitchen area. Hopefully, the compass cardinal points is not directly at "wealth loss" locations such as the bin (dustbin chute area) or the washing machine. It is much worse if the wealth sector is directy within the rubbish - dustbin - chute or as mentioned the washing machine. As the "shaking" of the washing machine is considered bad for "wealth luck".

1. Frankly, the number of pillars and glass is more symbolic or based on cultural preferences like Cantonese dialect group seems not to like 4 etc... 2. Other considerations include having an auspicious width of the partition. Most of the time, for government Housing Board flats, if the main door is immediately next to a side of a wall, then often, an optimium width of the partition is between 106 to 109 cm and if more exact, it could be 107 cm. Some partitions can be longer approximately 127 cm thereabouts.

1. Usually, both Shapes and Forms Feng Shui and Compass School Feng Shui is used to properly determine whether a location is suitable for the placement of a water feature. 2. Thus, it may or may not be left or right side of the door. 3. Compass School Feng Shui prominently uses Flying Star Feng Shui to detect water wealth location. While Shapes and Forms, has a bit of commonsense, as it would not be practical to have a water feature at the entrance if it blocks or hinders movement in and out of the home. 4. What you are asking is close to "trial and error" or something like - might as well as flip a coin = 5. Thus, Feng Shui is about making an analysis to determine, yes or no, left side or right side. If proper extensive Feng Shui is so easy, then .. this is not the way to do so. Paula K. wrote: What is the proper placement of a water feature in a home's foyer, to the right or left of door?

1. As this year the #5 misfortune /sickness sector is at North, it is strongly advisable to see if one can delay installation of the grille and windows until (if possible) after Chinese New Year, next year. 2. The #5 has often to do with health issues and sometimes unexpected serious accidents. 3. Hopefully that the compass readings is done correctly as this year also, Grand Duke this year is North-North-East, 30 Degree. Which is very close-by to the North sector. 4. Yes, if you really need to, select a good date for the "dong tu".

Is it not advisable to do so? If we really have to do it, what do we need to take note of? Just select an auspicious date based on our ba zi and do the "dong tu" knock wall procedure? I have attached the floor plan for your reference. Thanks much, Jo

As far as I can, I have tried my very best to give you a graphic illustration of what is : the Chinese Holy Trinity of Luck! Good Luck!

All Chinese are very particular about getting married on an auspicious date! In fact, 99.99% of all Chinese do check that their wedding date is auspicious (or not).... Some even placed a string on their finger "Don't forget....."

Please note that:- 1. It is good to use frosted glass or sand blasted glass "side" facing the main entrance door. 2. Contrary to popular belief, a partition need not be "air-tight":- 2.1.Need not reach towards the ceiling 2.2. Some people try to avoid "four bars"or even for "strips of vertical " glass or beams. Especially the Cantonese dialect group view it as inauspicious as it represents = 4 = "death".

Only good Feng Shui companies... place this signage in their stores!

Ideas, can be "borrowed" or "robbed!". In this example, a creative advertising company, decided to "circulate" the same advertisements for all their clients! Makes the graphic work simple as they do not have to create new ones... As well as, they can produce the advertisements cheaper! See how the company do it, below:-

To save on advertisement, this former "pills" vendor decided to change to selling Feng Shuiproducts......

Many are simply content just hoping to buy commercial products to "beautify" their home. BUT forgot that there are "wealth" leaks that are more crucial and need to be fixed-first! Are you one of them?

Further to what I had mentioned, I will be more concerned if it is 100 bats "flying" away as unlike birds (which is not highly regarded unless it is the stork - long life), the bats are reverered - and highly regarded. As the phonetic sound of bats is that of good fortune and often denotes happiness! And often 5 bats symbolises "five blessings" in life!

Let's get married, fast!

1. Frankly, this question that you had posted is relatively new, as I have yet to come across such a question. 2. Let's look at another painting. Some feel that a painting such as those famous horses, may face both ways! Some felt that horses (especially) those wild horses should be running "out of the home". To these people, they consider it good as these "wild horses" should be running "freely" instead of running into a home. While there are paintings also of even 100 or 1000 horses and some felt that they should be facing inwards (towards the home) not facing a door or a window for that matter. 3. For birds, many Chinese felt that one should not cage a bird. And there are those who felt that having a caged bird in a home is considered "inauspicious" as it is like having these birds (caged) as a prisoner at home. 4. I believe a few years back, there was this advertisement where the famous male actor (of Lady in red) for now can't recall his name used his visa card to help pay for the purchase of 100's of birds to be released by a "poor" countryside girl! 5. I would feel very happy to have such a painting of yours having the birds "released" (symbolically) throw the window! As birds (doves) are suppose to be flying freely - not caged in i.e. facing inwards into one's home! For me, this is my personal interpretation! I believe many have your own ideas! Frankly, there is no right or wrong answers, here!

Have no control over how others determine your ba zi element. However, can assure you that you should be a weak metal person. There are many reasons. For example, some do not consider the House of Life and House of Conception in their analysis nor take into consideration many other factors. Thus, we don't control how others do their analysis.

Frankly, under the Chinese "system", there is really no precedence on your situation. But feel free to have a "good" feeling about it

What is the reason for "closing" some of the toilets & keeping opening hours for toilets? Did you get an advice from a geomancer?

2 stoves = 2 wife 4 stoves = 4 wife 6 stoves = 6 wife no stove? = no wife!

Just because it looks like a wealth position, may not mean that it is indeed a water wealth position!

"Rob Peter to pay who? (Paul!) "

Further to what I had mentioned, even if you become the "King" of Feng Shui and try to outlaw 6 coins, what happens? 1. There will always be people selling a set of six coins tied with red string. 2. Many Feng Shui practitioners may recommend the placement of six coins, and some even asks their client(s) to place a row of six coins above the main door. As these practitioners perceive that Feng Shui has time dimensions and there is bound to be #5 or #2 or even #3 "flying" to a certain sector be it in that month, day, hour or minute. 3. In the past, when China closed it's doors to exports, what happened? Many trades person migrate overseas e.g. towards Thailand, Malaysia to set up kilns to make the famous Chinese pottery overseas! So, even if you are King or Queen and make decrees to ban "6 coins" no use! It will not work, since you may not be aware of what others may see of it. 4. Furthermore, a little knowledge is considered a dangerous thing!

1. Please note that we live in a practical world! 2. Although moving metal such as a wind chime is "GREAT" for #5! But one has to be looney or crazy to place such an item in a bedroom! 3. Thus the clue here is that although moving metal is an excellent choice! You can't simply use it for many locations! Furthermore, the most effective use of a wind chime are locations where there is wind. Although symbolically it does not move MAY be acceptable! 4. For heaven's sake, you are "practising" Feng Shui in a real world real environment! Thus, if some locations may not accept other cures, 6 coins represent = big metal. And can if necessary be used as an alternative or even used for even #3's! 5. So, it is not simply to say... "then what are the 6 coin in row used for since".. Furthermore, please be "warned" that certain combinations of #5 with #2 requires that SECTOR to be "quiet" cannot using moving metal. Thus 6 coins may be used here. 6. There are always certain items that may be used in a certain way. And just because you find it "not useful" does not mean that you are "correct". Please don't jump into premature evaluation. It is unhealthy.

1. Some Feng Shui practitioners apply the "Five Elements Concept" too religiously! 2. These are the same practitioners that often practice "one type of kindergarten" Feng Shui! That of South = Fire element, North = water element etc... 3. And many such practitioners often have a poor grasp of many of the other concepts of Feng Shui! And to these group of practitioners often, seeing that "earth" exhausts fire, they then perhaps begin to spin a story that as the kitchen is suppose to have the stove = fire, earth such as granite will harm or "exhaust" fire element! 4. Frankly, all these are superficial Feng Shui. To the educated, it does not make much sense! As another way of looking at it is that many of the items that help to control "fire" is earth e.g. and very useful products such as earthen ware to hold "hot - heat" items. 5. How often we use corning ware, earthen pots for some asians and many other "pottery" or earthen items? 6. Just because granite = earth, and earth exhauts fire means that granite is no good! 7. Furthermore, where in the world is there any proof that granite or even marble emits some form of "radiation?". In fact, granite is vastly used in many good quality homes and development especially for there good properties such as those found for kitchen tops! 8. Even my home, I have two granite stone grinders! 9. Many homes or developments come with granite flooring! 10. Furthermore, granite table top surface area is small as compared to the vast majority of kitchen wooden cabinet and /or vs the size of the kitchen. 11. The granite comes directly from our earth.. not that it came from outerspace of something like that nor is it brought over by aliens from another planet. Granite is simply a hardy earth material tempered by heat from earth's core.

1. Realistically, one of the key ideas of the Eight House or East/West Group is howsuitable the home is to the breadwinner. 2. Once you have purchased such a home, you asked a question:- "how is it possible to have my main door to face East?" You already know the answer. Not possible! It is not you can get the earthquake to shift your "west" facing home to a east facing home! For example, if you have a family of 8! You cannot be expected to purchase a saloon car that sits 4 + 1 the most! Unless you are going to tie some family members on the bonnet; leave two family members in the trunk! For goodness sake, if you have a family of 8! and need a ride! GET a large MPV! 3. The Eight House or East/West Group does not have a cure for this type of situation. You have maximize your Feng Shui luck as mentioned under this concept:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Concept_of_Maximizing_Marks Kah Yew C. wrote: Hi Cecil, Question 1 I'm a East Group person, with gua wood 3 chen. I thought I should live in an East Group house, preferably of the same trigram - Chen. I just bought a house built in period 8, facing W2, hence a double facing Chen house. But the house faces West, how is it possible to have my main door to face East? Question 2 The double facing house has both the ruling stars (mountain and water) in the West section. But isn't the West section the "Death" direction to a Chen person? Important sections of the house like living area and master bedroom are usually in the same section as the Main Door? I would be most grateful if you could enlighten me on this matter. Thanks. Regards, Kah Yew
