1. Frankly, what you are asking is : I post this layout with my compass direction and you tell me where is it best for me to place a water feature. 2. Please note that this is a Free General Advise forum. 3. Your layout and compass directions are so specific to your case only. 4. Little wonder that no matter which website you try to find your answers, it has to be tailored to your layout and specific compass direction. There is no two ways about. 5. Imagine, if everyone post a layout plan, and expect specific answers... this is not the agenda of this forum. (Newbie or no newbie. There are other avenues including finding your Feng Shui practitioner - if you want to do so.) Alternatively, the cheapest way is "go with your own feelings" - aka Trial and error Feng Shui.

1. Frankly, it is best to check with your friend further as it is difficult for me to comment on just a few sentences. 2. However, often tilting if it is the main door can only be temporary - unlike tilting the entire home say 7.5 degrees towards another facing direction. 3. Thus, since your friend is in the know, best to check with him further. 4. If you are or your friend is based his advise to "tlit" based on Compass School of Feng Shui, then, make sure that the exact compass readings are taken. I hope it is not like a novice taking a compass reading and then finding that it is "wrong". There are proper ways to take a reading and it should be adhered to.

1. Further to what I had mentioned, in the past, Feng Shui is about the "big picture" or macro Feng Shui. 2. Where should be site the back (backyard) of the home. And not just micro Feng Shui i.e. interior of the home. 3. Thus, in this BIG picture, if the back of the home as a mountain star, better still

1. No, one of the places that is symbolic of a mountain is the back of the house. 2. I was giving you the above as an example because you mentioned an shelving and I mentioned that if it is an open shelf, it should not in general be considered as a mountain. But if the shelf is placed against a wall, then this is the mountain. Thus, where did I say that only the back of the housecan only be or activate the mountain? 3. Thus, please don't anyhow put "words into" my mouth

1. No. A shelf e.g. those Ikea open shelving should not be considered as a mountain. 2. But if it is behind a full wall, yes. The wall is considered a "mountain". For example, in the past, many of the messages would convey the idea that a mountain can be activated especially if this is the back of the house. Even a back-door can be considered a mountain. 3. Contrary to popular belief, a mountain need not be made of "gold" or the common highly marked up "purple amertyst stone" that looks like a real mountain. A mountain can be as simple as a piece of brick, or smooth sea-side stones as large as a person's heart.

1. After a home has been built, it is much harder to change the location especially of the sewerage pipe connected to both your WC. 2. Of course, if a proper Feng Shui analysis has been done; normally, it would be recommended not to have both the WC's on each side of the main entrance door. But, after the home has been built, either have to live with it or do corrective actions. 3. Corrective actions may not be needed if there are no further "wealth leaks" in the home. And some homes can still sustain toilet(s) at the frontage and still survive. While some homes may face problems especially related to both wealth and career issues. 4. The second issue of the "top" of the stair-case facing the wash-basin is tine. More to do with psychology then Feng Shui.

Honestly, you may to use some of the following key success factors in maximizing the luck of your home:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Main_Page#Key_Success_Factors_in_D.I.Y._Feng_Shui

1. Frankly, this is not directly linked to any major Feng Shui theory, other than perhaps symbolism and human luck factors. 2. Under symbolism, of course, water draining out is like luck going out of the door. And if one feels not too good with this "omen" then, your human luck factor drops further.

1. Under Commonsense Feng Shui, definitely, it is considered not ideal to have the master bedroom directly above the kitchen. As it is believed that there is a higher incidence of a "fire" starting in a kitchen. Thus, this has more to do with "safety" aspect than of Feng Shui. However, in modern times, things like smoke detectors / fire alarm sensors / panels maybe in the master bedroom can help in such a situation. As fire travels upwards and such things can help. 2. Under Symbolic Feng Shui:- 2.1. Yes, the stove direclty below the toilet bowl is a major concern. Often, again one aspect is based on commonsense Feng Shui as often the sewerage pipe is thus directly above the stove. If there is a choice, not withstanding other Feng Shui concerns like "fire at heaven's gate" e.g. moving the stove may mean that the stove could be under the dreated NW compass direction. Would also be a double edged sword. Under Symbolism, some Feng Shui practitioners just ask the client to hang a wooden bottle gourdaround approximately 3 inches between the pipe and the stove. - Symbolism at work. 2.2. Yes, the main door facing the staircase door is a well known Shapes and FormsFeng Shui problem. As it symbolises wealth leaking out of the home e.g from the sloping staircase towards - out of the main door. This has a higher weightage asit can be considered as a majorwealth leak. There may be other wealth leaks - which is not covered, here as it involveslots more Feng Shui investigations. Anonymous wrote: Dear master Lee, I have two questions, and am hoping that you could give me some advice. 1. My house has two floors, the kitchen is located on the first floor, and the master bedroom is on the second floor. My master bathroom is located directly above the kitchen, and the toilet (bowl) is almost directly above the stove. Is there something to be concern of, and is there anything I can do? 2. Entering my house at the front door (where the living room is), the stairs that go up to second floor is right in front of the front door. Does that mean "money comes, money goes"? Besides using a screen to block the stairs from being seen from the front door, is there anything else I could use? The area is kind of narrow to use a screen. I do feel that I have a hard time saving up money since moving in. Please advice. Thanks!! Carmen

1. Overall, under Period 8, the better neutral colour that you may consider is light cream or beige. 2. Under Period 7 (1984 to 2003), the best neutral colour was white. Today, 2008, the best neutral colour is as mentioned under Para 1.

1. If one purely consider the shape, then the first is a "longish" oval, may be considered as belonging to the metal element. As most rounded / oval shape is close to the metal element. 2. While it may be different if the shape still retains an oblong (rectangle) but the sharp 4 corners of a rectangle is slightly rounded. This shape should be considered as belonging to the earth element (squarish / rectangular) 3. If the material especially is made of glass, then glass is considered also as the metal element. 4. The star comes closer to the Fire element. The two rationales are: because the star has pointed edge (sharp and pointed). And symbolically, a real star gives out light = equated with light.

1. Frankly, as ba zi was never designed for any gay couple readings. So there is no ruleset or any reference that we can use to say for sure if you should follow the standard rule or make modifications. 2. However, as ba zi compatibilty can also be used to check for compatibility between two persons (not just male&female), such as for general compatibility issues between family members(sibling relationship of same or different genders) or between business partners etc. Since it can be used to check any two persons even of the same gender.We do not see a need to really make any changes to analysis for gay.Therefore,as for now, our personal views are thatitshould be reviewedas per normal without any alternations.

1. It is Ok to have a water feature at the water wealth position at NE2 sector. 2. It is recommended that the water feature has some of the characteristics found under this link:- http://fountain.geomancy.net (Please go thru para 2.1 to 2.12 under the above link) 3. Only under certain conditions that one may be concerned with the devil's gate is where certain sectors are afflicted by all YIN flying star numbers. And this is a "dark" room. That is why if one sees many of those "western" films, where many "happenings" are found in areas like a closet or a store room. These rooms are not only "dark" yin but often they are plagued by YIN flying star numbers.

1. Usually this is not a major concern unless the WC pipes are directly opposite (behind) the stove and vice-versa. Otherwise, there is no major concern or issue. 2. Under Traditional Feng Shui, some Feng Shui practitioners (symbolism) may advice placing a hulu (bottle gourd) e.g. inside the kitchen cabinet between the two walls. Anonymous wrote: Please help. My kitchen shares the same wall as the bathroom, and the stove shares the same wall back to back with the toilet. I know it's totally bad, and what can I do to minimize the damage? Thanks!!

1. In fact, to be honest, Geomancy.net even in Singapore is one of the few or the only one that is not selling commercial products. 2. Why sell commercial products? 2.1 Commercial products "in the name of Feng Shui" is highly marked up! Using commonsense, many find it more lucrative to sell such products! 2.2 To them, they don't care too-hoots where you get your hard-earned money from, but these people, don't have a conscience and like all "cheats"; simply wantus to depart with our hard earned money! 2.3 Imagine, profit margins are as high as even 500 to 1,000 percent! Unheard of! Yet, people are gullible to purchase them for the sake of .. "greed"! 2.4 Frankly, if I were to sell such products, one can make really tons of money! BUT, cannot stomach such an avenue! 2.5 In the past, if you read some messages, there were cases where the wife, call on so call "Feng Shui Masters" and these masters "cheat" them i.e. purchase tons of products.. And many of these housewives paid with their credit card! And later on... husband divorced the wife! Thus, Feng Shui or bad Feng Shui can even cause direct family separation, imagine! 3. Unfortunately, there are more people being "fooled" to purchase products everday vs our campaign of "If buying stops, the selling can!" This is indeed an uphill tasks! So, please spread the word! Don't let these people burn a "blackhole" in our pockets... P.S. Many Feng Shui practitioners, started off, doingFeng Shui. BUT, many found selling products more lucrative! And easy money! Thus the easy way out to earn money is selling products at Huge profits! Why work when, you can live off other people's fear and greed? "In-the-name of Feng Shui"!

Frankly, this is not necessary.

This position of the sink is generally OK. As the most important consideration is the stove, first.

Please use the SEARCH feature in this forum and you get many "hits" like this thread:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=30&mid=20432&new=

1. The origin of the FIXED TEMPLATE BAGUA model originated from this infamous person: Lin Yun. 2. You can read this article extract from this website about the Confessions of Lin Yun:- [ URL link no longer exists ] Appended by Cecil Lee in 2020: Apologies, Please understand that this article was written in 2009 = many years ago. 3. The fixed template Feng Shui is considered by many Traditional Feng Shui practitioners as too static a model. 4. This fixed template bagua - does not take into consideration both: Shapes and Forms Feng Shui and Compass School Feng Shui. 5. Under the Compass School Feng Shui: there is the Eight House (East/West Group / Ba Cai). 6. Even if you are applying the Kua (Gua) you have to consider the full spectrum of the Compass School Feng Shui and not just Kua (Gua). 7. Now, you are trying to practice some kind of "half-cooked = half-baked" Feng Shui considering how to either try to combine Kua (Gua) with fixed template and scatching the head to see which to drop. 8. When applying Traditional Compass School Feng Shui, one should consider applying both the Eight House and Flying Star Feng Shui and also Shapes and Forms. 9. Usually, as you had found out that the configuration of your room only permits certain (optimium) placement of things like table etc... thus Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, is usually the major consideration. 10. And things like Gua (Kua) is considered as NICE-TO have and not a MUST-have. But the fixed template bagua should be totally discounted, thou. Think of Lin Yun and his confession.

Further to what I had mentioned, earlier, please check out this two links:- Even a child has this to say about the Froggies.. http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=29&mid=23159&new= Is this the GREEN Frog you are referring to? http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=29&mid=6724&new= Happy "eating" Frog Legs!

1. In my opinion, it is best to treat it more as a decorative item, nothing more. 2. Commercial Products: When the buying stops, the selling can! 3. Imagine, even my logo for this special message has a version of the toad (this one is the three legged toad). What does this tell you? http://www.geomancy.net/say-no-products.gif 4. Frankly, it makes no difference whether one places it facing the door or throwing it away in the rubbish bin. It is not going to help in $$$ matters!

Cleaning up after the bull-shit!

1. Yes, it is just an expression. 2. Fu Lu Shou is never meant to be "prayed-to". Symbolically, it should be placed facing where-ever one seats. Thus, if one sits at the living room, ideally, it should be facing "you". And it is very common to be placed on a table facing the dining table. 3. Best to place it at the Living Room. If it is placed at the dining room area, the table should preferably be (nice-to-have) 49 inches to not more than 50 inches tall (based on auspicious measurement - of the Feng Shui ruler). If the table holding the Fu Lu Shou is too low, it is like when we eat, these deities are salivating... all over... 4. Never place it facing the main door. You don't want the three of them to be "guarding your door" nor perform "guard duties" there..

1. Frankly, unless one is too free or nothing better else to do, then start to apply monthly or even there is such thing is daily, hourly Flying star! 2. We still hear of applying yearly Flying Star but monthly onwards is not common. 3. Yes, cure for 20 year may be moved to the yearl star position.
