In general, a crane symbolises longevity. And also the phoenix. During weddings, one can often find the wedding card with the dragon (male) and phoenix (female) diagram in an embrance. Otherwise the tiger-crane combination is more unique to the Martial Arts. And thus no major significance when combined together unlike the dragon - tiger or dragon - phoenix (crane) combinations.

I made a mistake and put dragon and tiger in the subject but explained in the message text that I have learnt a the tiger-crane combination, not dragon and tiger and want to have a tattoo of both animals, perhaps one on each leg. (I am a dragon in the Chinese horoscope - sorry to confuse you. Kindly advise Respectfully Tina

1. Other Traditional methods: Since this is a "metallic" "beam", then another option is to draw a small thin red line where this air-duct is just above your head or use scotch tape or masking tape and place a thin red string with two ends with the tape. The red string runs above your head. 2. If you do it properly, very hard to notice the red "line". This red line represents fire element to curtail the "metal". Hope the above helps.

In Feng Shui, we call the Dragon and Tiger as the "Green Dragon" and "White Tiger". Here for the external Feng Shui, the dragon is on the east or left side, while the tiger is at the west or right side (if we stand inside the door looking outwards). Nowadays in Singapore, few will get a tatoo where the dragon and tiger embrace. If so, often, the tatoos are on the arms and not the legs. This is because to be "harmonious" the dragon and tiger should be in an embrace. Unless if the tatoo is on the legs, it is felt that where we stand, the dragon should also be in embrance with the tiger. In the early 1970's David Carradine played a disciple of Shaolin Martial Arts. And when he graduated, he placed his two arms around a large Chinese urn and carried it. Here, the dragon and tiger image was burned into his arms (not tatooed). If you managed to get the show, can check to confirm which armed was "burned" with which symbol.

1. Frankly, both facing and sitting are equally important. 2. The purpose of sitting and answering questions in an examination is to try and maximize our marks: http://www.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Concept_of_Maximizing_Marks 3. In real world Feng Shui, isn't it better if both sitting and facing directions are equally important. 4. For example, even if we have an excellent facing direction, but behind the home is a fast "moving water" canal, this is already "bad" Feng Shui on it's own. 5. To begin with, NW sitting or SE facing or vice versa plot of land is really not that fanastic under Period 7 or 8 Flying Star Feng Shui. All these will add up to subtract the Feng Shui luck. Or leading to too many "leaks". Anonymous wrote: I do appreciate your free advise as well as a lot of us not too familiar with feng shui. I would like to ask which is more important when looking at the lot. Where the lot is facing-direction or sitting direction? I have a Kua Number of 8 and the lot is facin g SE and sitting NW. According to the chart, NW is good but SE is not. Please enlighten me. Thank a lot and more power! Hope to hear from you soon!

1. All hospitals have a Morgue. Where dead patients are moved over to this building for coroner's investigations and "deposit" and "release. 2. Thus, do check that the unit and block you are interested in is not next to or facing this building. 3. Alternatively, avoid the unit or block if it is the A and E ward or a ward for contagious disesase or during an emergency, this ward caters to those who have unknown or unidentified, ailments. 4. Thus, if the hospital has any of the above, try to stay as far away as possible! Even 500 metres or more... 5. For other buildings in the hospital, the higher the unit you stay in will be better. Thus even if the hospital is 50 metres away, your unit which has height should "overlook" or high floor to avoid too much "air flow" (depending on high or low pressure) coming from the direction of the hospital!

I just view a apartment on the 13th flr.This is the 5th unit from the corner,and the side of this corner flat is facing the hospital,about 50 meters away across the road. Appreciate your advise.Thank you. Regards, Jane Lee

1. Thanks for the two photographs. However, I am still not very clear whether the house is entirely one or from the second picture, is there another house door facing your new home door? 2. From just the two pictures, the glass wall is perhaps or maybe a "double edged sword". Removing it is not a possibility as I believe in the second picture, there is another identical glass wall similar to yours for another unit? 3. The main door seems to be situated oddly behind the guard rail and concrete that is semi-circular. Since the door is a permanent feature of this house, and if you are looking at the Feng Shui, then, you may have to consider other factors or applications of Feng Shui concepts and guidelines. 4. Generally, one good thing is that the "court-yard" is good as it helps to "congregate" or "collect" qi. It is always good to have such a bright hall (close to the main entrance) making it "bright". Quote: I was wondering ifanyonecan give me an insight on whattodo about thefront door in a house we?re supposed to move in to in a few months. There?s a glass wall right in front of it !!!, that was built in an attempt to reduce noise from the garage entrance.The house and front doorface SE. I?m attaching a couple pictures and I would really appreciate any help!

1. Frankly, this needs some analysis. 2. In many instances if the problem lies with the home, Feng Shui may help to "fix" such "leaks" and also improve the changes of conception. (Nothwithstanding other husband-wife - "medical" problems or age factor).

1. Firstly even if possible, normally tilting a door only brings temporary changes - and often not the best method. 2. The better method is to "tap" qi coming from good sectors e.g. if the qi coming from a specific sector e.g. a specific living room window, then it is good to constantly allow qi to come in from this window. And for some window(s) that has poor qi, then open them less often (provided these are not critical windows such as a bedroom window). If so, the window should still be opened to allow air to circulate. (opened but not fully).

Many of the good units in The infiniti (if u are referring to this development). Many units face NE or SW. But the worst ones #9, #17 etc... face a noisy highway!

Frankly, it is just a general statement. For enhancements or cures, the holistic approach to Feng Shui like application of Eight Mansions (Eight House) or Flying Star would be good enough. For Flying Star Feng Shui, usually areas affecting relationships are the sectors that may contain #3 conflicts/quarrels.

Traditionally, Feng Shui practitioners may advise their clients to place the sink slightly higher than the stove. Today, this is still done. But, in Singapore, there are now at least over more than 2,500 condominium developments with at least over 30,000 units. And majority if not all condo kitchens have the stove and sink at the same height or level! As those who stay in a condominium are considered as "middle income or higher" this is a consideration for not following "past" tradition.

1. #29 will be affected by afternoon sun (Living room/bedrooms). 2. NW facing apartments don't seem to have OVERALL good luck as many sectors in the home needs to be disarmed. 3. In my opinion, for a East group person(s), it should be their LAST RESORT. Really, really (no choice - die die must get)... type of situation. Even for West Group persons, not the BEST choice!

Every few months, some Chinese temples releases "life" from birds to...erh.... latest.. cockles???

Are there any Feng Shui considerations in purchasing Antique furniture or items? Yes/ No/ May be? There are instances where some people have purchased questionable antiques and after their purchase, these home owners mutted:- "How come there seems to be another entity in our home" "I can feel the presence of someone in our home" "Oh dear, I seem to constantly get nightmares... " "I heard someone... talking downstairs" "Dear! This is the unteemp time you forgot to close the toilet door!" " Middle of the night... heard: creak, croak, creak, croak, creak croak....

In general, how many hobs is better for a kitchen stove? Tell me, tell me!!!

Symbolism is important in Feng Shui. When someone passed away, often, at the wake, three joss-sticks are (were) lighted up and presented to the person paying their respects. A row of three parallel or same-height lamps..is symbolic of this at home.

Symbolism is important in Feng Shui. "I made sure that my entire house (kennel) is painted RED. As RED is suppose to be the most YANG element or colour! " "Yet, strangely, this water position directly in front of my home looks so ghostly!" I understand that a swimming pool or pond should have curves for best Feng Shui. But cannot be like this design? I am puzzled, confused, scared! Will my Feng Shui wealth drain away?

In the past, when someone dies in a home, the person is carried out with his legs, first out of the bedroom door / entrance door......

Please, please, don't ever let my wealth drain away from my landed property, plse! I beg you!

For every landed property, usually there are THREE very favourable sectors where drainage flows OUT of the home. Normally TWO sectors symbolise Wealth and often ONE sector signify the owner will have POWER and AUTHORITY e.g. in politics or even become the Head of the company....

Not only two doors, but rather, no more than TWO entrances or exits. Please don't bargain with ME!

For any office, it is STRONGLY recommended that your office does not have MORE than TWO entrance or exit points.

Let's arrange marriage for our children on 08.08.08! Even Chinese who have been under Communist Rule no longer feel or belief that marriage in the Chinese 7th Lunar month is inauspicious!

The best water feature is natural! A real waterfall is good because when water falls, water frictions with the air to create negative ions. Negative ions, will bond and neutralise positive ions..... Nothing beats real water-fall...

1. Generally, trees are only a poison arrow if it is aimed directly at the main entrance or a window. 2. If it has a tree trunk aimed at a window, this is easier to neutralise. From the side view, it does show the smaller tree trunk (may or may not slice thru the windows). One option is to install day curtains can be installed. 3. Trees are acceptable as it provides much shade especially from the afternoon sun. And one of the "secret" weapons is the ability to attract "birds" in the area. (Of course now adays, some people condone birds due to the concern of "bird flu" virus.
