Dear Anon, The easiest way to classify is to focus on two things: 1. The Industry and it's element 2. Job Scope and it's element 1. The Industry 1.1 For example, as you have mentioned, car industry can be broadly classified as "metal" because majority e.g. especially most car's outer shell is made of steel or alluminium and majority of cars have a high percentage of metal parts. Even tempered glass, because of it's high density is considered as a metal element. 1.2 Generally, the industry that BUILD's ship is also considered under the METAL industry especially for ocean or cargo or oil tankers or freight carriers. Since many of the commercial ships are made largely with steel hulls, etc... 1.3 But a specialist ship builder of some luxury private ships may contain hull made of wood and many interior designs largely of wood. With equal amount of metal. Thus, this builder can be considered as belonging to the Metal-cum-Wood industry. 2. Job Scope: 2.1 Since you specialize in handling car shipments, thus your KEY strengths are: 2.1.1. Wood 2.1.2 Fire Co-ordination, planning and scheduling has much go to do with the wood element. This would be the main job scope. Partially, you may also be doing "selling or marketing" when you handle clients needs for shipping cars. 3. A ship on water does not mean directly that it has to belong to the water element unless one can find a link, here. If the ship has a bar or beverage outlet selling water or drinks than the person working as a bar tender may be considered as the water element. Quote: I am thinking of setting up a Nail salon.Beauty line is under Water, does it mean Nail bar/salon is also under Water element? 4. It is not wrong to consider say Beauty INDUSTRY overall under water. In some beauty industry that is selling botttled mixtures of beauty products may even be considered as Fire element as these beauty products contain specialised chemicals e.g. face whitening gel etc... 5. If your MAJOR job scope in a nail salon is to create beautiful art on the fingers or "heal" the fingers nails etc.. then you can still be considered as the Wood element. 6. Actually I should not be "talking" so much! GO WITH YOUR FEEL! For example, many people have started as a hobby and made it their livelyhood! For example, last year, this person, in Singapore mentioned that she started an organic store .. for "health" reasons... and so forth! If we treat our work as a hobby, work and play is so much fun! For business, one has to look at it from a business perspective! If the business model is no good, no matter how one wants to make a livelyhood.. also cannot. For example, in Singapore, several years back, some FOOLs asked me to Feng Shui their "Lohan" fish shop... I told them forget it... selling such fishes are a fad.. Again, several years back, many people opened "Bubble Tea" shops in Singapore! Again, I told don't waste my time! Anyone with some capital can set up such shops. And in Singapore, there is no habit to drink such sweet and cold drinks! For those who want to start up a business, good to read up Michael Porter.. and his "Five Forces" concept... etc... Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: Hi, I got a list from a fengshui consultant with me but am confused abt shipping. I am in freight forwarding company and I specialize in handling car shipments. I am under the weak fire element. According to the list, I will benefit from jobs under Wood, Fire and Metal. a) Car industry belongs to the metal element. Transport belongs to Wood element but shipping which is associated with ships on sea be under WATER element (which is really bad for me)?? b) I am thinking of setting up a Nail salon.Beauty line is under Water, does it mean Nail bar/salon is also under Water element? c) Is clothings,shoes and bagsboutique business good for me?

Dear Xenia, To be honest, with limited information available, it is difficult to comment based strictly on Feng Shui concepts/principles or issues with it. In general, for a large bedroom, a sink is acceptable (especially nowadays, many modern homes have an attached bathroom but in addition, these larger homes with larger bathrooms have a wash or powder room type of area. In fact, it is very common to find even single storey homes with the bedroom at the frontage area of the home. Try to make the home as comfortable as possible for yourself and family members! Usually, for an old home, a fresh coat of paint, would be nice to refresh the home. And avoid too much clutter, also. Warmest Regards, Cecil Xenia S. wrote: I am going to move house soon, and apparently it is a very old house, the bedroom I will have to use is quite large, and it contains a sink! I am worried about the effects the sink may have on my health and wellbeing according to feng shui, as it would seem to be ?draining? energy. What can I do, or what cure can I use to fix this problem?

Dear Ang, Please take note that even for a Period 7 apartment or home. Where some books may say double 7 is good in Period 7. However, we are now in Period 8 (2004 onwards). Thus under Period 8: #7 = PAST prosperity #8 = Current prosperity ( usually between 0 to 2 years luck period) #9 = Future prosperity (usually between 2 to 5 years luck period) #1 = Future, future prosperity (5 to 10 year luck period) For info, the double #7's are past prosperity. AND #7's has turned bad i.e. "theft of luck - robbery star - or simply luck aways pass-by". Thus a Period 6 home with double #6 is also, forgone prosperity or past prosperity. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anthony, Like mathematics, the 20 Year Flying Star has three variables, quickly it is the Mountain star, Water and Base star. And primarily when we engage a Feng Shui practitioner to look into the home, he/she will work out the Feng Shui qi based on these three variables. Since it makes sense that even for a Period 7 apartment, the qi will be based on this 20 Year Flying Star. Since the home is still considered as a Period 7, one has to use this as a BASE. If you are able to look at it under the Year star, then in general one should be careful of sectors like South (where the annual Five Yellow) is. In general, so even if South has good 20 Year Stars, as you have mentioned such as Mountain Star 1,Water Star 8, but you did not mention what is the star for base. You still have to look at all these three variables. Supposing if the Base star is another 8, and the annual star is #5: the more concern is the monthly star also in that sector. Thus 20 Year MS1, WS 8, Base 8, Annual 5 but monthly star is #6 you don't need to do anything. But if the monthly star is also #5 in that sector than one can place a cure for #5 for that sector. Thus, Annual star along is just one variable. The 20 year has 3 variables. The monthly is also another variable. For those who are Flying Star frantics may also consider the Day star or (to be abit crazy - consider the hourly star). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear San, 1. Sorry, I could not view the link despite cut-paste the link. 2. Actually, it is very common especially for landed properties to have bed-head resting against the window. 3. Locally in Singapore, it is also common to find some people sleep with the bedhead against the window in particular if it is landed property especially if the window bay is well shielded especially from the rain. Or shielded from heavy winds during heavy rain fall with strong gust of wind. 4. Thus, try not to be mistaken that it is "no good" to sleep with bed-head against the window especially if it is a bay window. 5. The concern is meant more for high rise living. For example, in Singapore; both private and public housing: there are many instances where: inconsiderate directly higher floor may throw down a cigarette or the danger of placing a bed so close to the window; and the concern of a young child climbing out of the window. In addition, many of these apartments do not have good window ledge to protect the room from strong winds. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. It is best to simply cover the big statue (if you can) rather than building a podium. 2. A simple solution is to use any clean bedsheet to cover it from top to bottom. 3. It is good to have a clean and bright room. If your room has a window, it is best to allow as much natural light into the house. 4. Usually, by moving in, for a few days, the vibes of the old tenants should be cleared. Unless, there are very old antique furnitures. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, So far, so long as the specific site has properly converted mother's western date of birth to lunar calendar, you can then use it to "predict" a baby's gender. However, there is a question mark - personally have not fully reviewed the accuracy of the model as to whether there is a need to further fine-tune your date and time of birth towards Beijing time or not. In such a situation; could result in either baby being considered as a boy or girl. Thus the two major considerations are: 1. Convertmother's date of birth to lunar. 2. Have to guess whether or not to fine-tuneone's date of birth. If so, again there are so many variations. As it is not so simple to covert time based on GMT timing. For example, in Singapore, previously a few decade ago we changed our GMT timing to follow Malaysia and it happens to coincide with Hong-Kong-Beijing timing. In US, there is also the day-light hours etc.. In this modern age; best to consult own doctor... and use methods like ultra-sound etc... instead Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Yes, since 5 represents the floor level, you should enter it as #05-xxx. If your unit happens to be#05-01 (where 5 represents the level) and each of the units in a block are : 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07 then should enter the numbers thus as #05-01. Alternatively, if your unit does not follow the above number arrangements then you may have to enter it as #05-501. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Boniface, Yes, 17 steps based on the formula from this website is considered auspicious.

However, appreciate your understanding that the objective of this forum especially is to clarify or as a form of a catalyst to the proper understanding of Chinese methodology: Ba Zi, Feng Shui etc... but free advice, does not mean working out a specificentire case.

Dear Anon, 1. Traditionally in Feng Shui, a work or study direction(s) depends on one's date of birth. For example, Male, Mr Sample Ficitious Person born on 19 December 1975 at 11.30am:- Work Position Report This report is generated for: Sample Ficitious Person Gender: Male Conversion of Date of Birth: Solar Calendar: 19 Dec 1975 between 11.00 a.m. to 12.59 p.m. Lunar Calendar: 1975, 11th month, 17 day, between 11.00 a.m. to 12.59 p.m. Please check that the above details are correct before proceeding. Otherwise, please correct it before reading the analysis. About Work Position This report is based on the principles of Eight House, and it helps you identify the best study position for you. These are analysis which suits you. This report is usually used in conjunction with a more comprehensive theory using 24 directions (Flying Star Report) that helps you access any potential problem which might exist in this sector. Your BEST work position Direction: North-West Exact Degree: 292.5 to 337.4 Description: This is your Prosperity direction. Direction: West Exact Degree: 247.5 to 292.4 Description: This is your Excellent direction. Your GOOD work position Direction: North-East Exact Degree: 22.5 to 67.4 Description: This is your Longevity direction. Direction: South-West Exact Degree: 202.5 to 247.4 Description: This is your Health direction. Your BADwork position Direction: South Exact Degree: 157.5 to 202.4 Description: This is your Spook direction. Direction: South-East Exact Degree: 112.5 to 157.4 Description: This is your Irritation direction. Your WORSTwork position Direction: North Exact Degree: 337.5 to 22.4 Description: This is your Disaster direction. Direction: East Exact Degree: 67.5 to 112.4 Description: This is your Death direction. 2. In the above, example, it is "NICE-TO-HAVE" this person facing NW or West as his best work or study directions. Quote: Also the desk has an attached shelf on it, which can be dettached if necessary. I read that having a shelf over the desk is not good in fengshui, would like to know if having shelf on the desk is ok or not in fengshui. 3. Some Feng Shui books say that open bookshelfs with books in it is like knives or poison arrows. 3.1 In fact, in "Commonsense Approach" to Feng Shui; many of us, when young do have open bookselves or simply books even placed on our study table. But many of us don't have or cannot recall having any issues with it. 3.2 More importantly, open bookselves encourage us to quicky pick up a book to read or refer to. 3.3 I would strongly encourage, those who have young children to have open bookselves especially just around arm's length. This is especially true for school going children; where often, their "semester" books or reference books are within their finger tips. Make it more conducive to study; then to have to open and close a cupboard or slide a cupboard door. 3.4 As mentioned, above, many of us have done it : have open bookselves". Not just because, someone writes that it is bad to have open shelves, we then don't keep up with it. 3.5 Fine, for books that we hardly refer to, if you want to keep it in a cupboard that has doors - go ahead. But for frequently accessed books or materials open bookshelves are fine. Quote: Considering the bagua map, the computer desk is placed in wealth and prosperity area of the living room(fame and reputation area of the house). But the desk is in straight line with the main door of the house as shown in the attachment. I read that the desk should not be placed across the door, would like to know if the above mentioned placement could cause any problems. If there is a poblem,is there any simple way of rectifying like placing something between the desk and the main door. The only other option i have is to place it in the relationship area of the room(as well as the home). 4. Sorry, the "fixed" template type of Ba Gua is not used in this website. As it is not authentic Feng Shui. Such as "fame and reputation" etc... 5. Under traditional Feng Shui, it would be nice for (in this example) this person sits in a west group location and if possible face the west group directions. For example, it would be GOOD if this person, sits in a NW or West or NE or SW location in a home and again nice to have him face a good westerly direction especially NW or West since these two sectors are his : Prosperity / Excellent directions. Quote: I read that the desk should not be placed across the door, would like to know if the above mentioned placement could cause any problems. 6. Thanks for your layout plan. So long as the computer table is not placed with one's back against the main door, this current position, under Shapes and Forms is still OK or acceptable especially if one does not have another better location than this. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mr Ang, In this sample report (broken into two parts); you will get a glimpse of how in this sample illustration a person: Male, Mr Fictitious Richard Peterson who is a west group person, actually is house hunting. For him, he is considered as a west group person and he is house hunting for a Period 7 home (1984 to 2003). In this sample report, under Part 1, you will find a sample of Flying Star direction and how suitable is that direction to Mr Ficitious Richard Peterson. In the second part, (SEE BELOW) you will see a break down of recommendations for him or Excellent homes, Auspicious homes based on the facing direction and his being a west group person. Excellent directions are: NW2 (307.5-322.4) , NW3 (322.5-337.4) , NE2 (37.5-52.4) , NE3 (52.5-67.4) , SW1 (202.5-217.4) , SW2 (217.5-232.4) , SW3 (232.5-247.4) , NW1 (292.5-307.4) Please see attachment for Part I. In part 1 you will notice e.g. NW2 home : there is some significance under Flying Star for that sector. IN ADDITION: The clue is that based on Flying Star, this home is not auspicious. But since MrFictitious Richard is a west group person, well this homeSTILL suits him although the flying star is not as good Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Hurbert, 1. Under Traditional Chinese system:- Ba Zi is used to determine name selection. For example, if a person lacks water... a geomancer may recommend that the person have a Chinese character with the "water or shui" element in their name. In addition, Ba Zi is used widely to determine Ming or Luck and other uses includes logo selection etc.. Ba Zi uses the Five Elements Concept to determine one's element and strength e.g. strong water, weak water etc... In addition, when we look at a home we apply Compass School of Feng Shui: Eight House and Flying Star Feng Shui. 2. Purple star is actually "9" numbers or commonly called "9 Star Ki. It has more to do with Flying Star Feng Shui as Flying Star uses the 9 stars. 3. The origins of Purple star or 9 Star Ki came from China and went to Japan in ancient times. And the Japanese widely pratice 9 Star Ki. 4. In recent times e.g. 1980's you get British practitioners who learn 9 star ki mostly from Japan. For the Chinese, we use bazi to determine one's name. But do you hear of any British or Japanese use 9 Purple to select a name? Especially a Chinese name? Yes /No? 5. Thus Hurbert, please do consider where Ba Zi originates and where Purple star originates. For you to make your own conclusion. Authentic Traditional Geomancy sites, like Geomancy.net practises STRICLY Traditional Chinese methods and origins. Do consider where 9 star ki " purple star" arrived in and adopted by some country e.g. Japan and practised by Westerners especially the "Englishman." In my opinion, 9 star ki is one and the same as Flying Star. Yet, Flying Star is not even one-half of our Chinese traditional ba zi nor zi wei tou shou or astrology. I believe, in the past, manyJapanese and Westerners may not be too conversant with Yin/Yang and Five elements but9 star ki seems so..soo easy as it based purely on numbers 1 to 9. Under the Holy Trinity of (Chinese) Luck: 1. Heaven Luck 2. Earth Luck 3. Human Luck Ba Zi falls under Heaven Luck. Thus even for a new born Chinese, it is critical for some parents to get the baby name correct based on one's bazi. Earth Luck or Feng Shui. Based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui and Compass School : Eight House and Flying Star. Human Luck. Family relationship, relationship with parents etc... You decide for yourself... i.e. you want to adopt or apply something that is directly comes from ancient China or something that comes in a circle : originate from China to Japan and now (UK)? Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, The most effective placement of such stones (which are object of mass) can be at locations where The Flying Stars are Mountain Star #8 sector(s). Or especially if the sector has mountain star #1. Not ideal to place it at sectors that have Water Star #1 or Water Star #8. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: I bought5 beautiful stone ignots from Mongolia, each representing the 5 elements.

Dear Shauuna, The alternative to "such a complicated" situation is to look to the basics of Chinese principles or concepts:. Most of the time, when we start reading books on Chinese principles and concepts, we will always find:- Uppermost level: Taichi Upper (branch) level : Yin and Yang concept Lower (branch) level: The Five elements concept. What you are trying to "meddle" or "fine tuning" is under the Five elements concept. In a "very complicated" case or sometimes we humans make it so..so ...so complicated... that doing something will impact on the other. Such as... "but I'm afraid that will boost the 9 giving fuel to the 5." There are two possibilities:- 1. Why make it so complicated? Thus try to look for an answer "one level" or "branch" higher i.e. Yin and Yang concept. If you have a "low consumption" bulb or light at that sector, turn it on especially in the night forroughly 6 or 8 hours a day. This is to make the sector more "yang" qi. 2. Is it possible to introduce all 5 elements at this sector? e.g. in terms of colours or objects. For example, if you have a painting or poster that hasmulti colours e.g. Black, Blue, Green, Yellow, Red and White or metallic... would equallybe good enough. Either para 1 or 2 above are acceptable in such a complicated "mess". Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Given that the sector has #5 misfortune /sickness (strong erth) and an additional #2 sickness (strong earth); first priority is to fix the problem, first, then to enhance. Thus, try to see any other sectors that one can enhance instead of getting into - more complications. What about water star #8, if another sector has it and if it is possible to enhance this, then concentrate more on the other sector. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: Dear Master Robert Lee, I have the following question: In the year 2008 we have the year star #8 (Earth) in the East and I would like to enhance it because it is an auspicious star.

Dear Anon, Orange colour because of it's close resemblance to literally an "orange" or a "mandarin" orange is considered as "gold" colour. And gold belongs to the range of metal elements. Thus, painting it orange, would be bright and colourful! More importantly, many toilets are in enclosed area and often not well lit. Thus, especially if we do have elderly at home or youngsters, it is still good to go for light pastel colours in a toilet. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: Is it advisable to paint the bathroom orange if it is in the NE sector of the home? Is it OK to use the enhancing color of orange in the NE earth sector when it is the bathroom, or is it best to use the destructive cycle when choosing colors for a bathroom?

Dear Anon, Once we (personally)find that a name has a "flaw", we should try to skip using the name unless it was given to us (usually) by our parents/grand parents. Thus, there are so many Chinese characters and it is always easy to find a name that may "suit" us. Quote: Anonymous wrote: What kind of meaning name "sinan" may have? As far as I know Sinan means "missing south" in Chinese.

Dear Suzanne, 1. Under the Five element concept, it is true that fire produces or fuels earth element. If we take just this two element flow. 2. However, this is not the "end" of the world. Earlier on, you are just looking at what is known as a "TWO-ELEMENT" flow i.e. Fire give rise (or fuels) Earth (full stop). But it does not end, here. 3. One can look at it from a wider spectrum i.e. move into or apply a three element flow i.e. FIRE - 6. To get around the concern of: not able to introduce say Red, or Green or some other colours because of one reason or the other, we can instead, introduce the entire "range" of the Five elements. This is simply known as FIVE-element-flow or simply the Productive cycle. 7. Forinstance, children's bedroom. Often, we notice that these bedroom(s) are colourfully decorated with Mickey mouse and other cartoon charcters and these cartoon characters have a splash of black (water element); red (fire element), green or brown (wood element), yellow (earth element)and blue (water element). These splash of colours are often found on children's bedsheets. Once we have so many multi colours, we are already introducing the full five elements flow. And do not need to be too concerned of one colour even if that specific colour is "bad for the room". Such as what you are concerned now i.e. Red would inflame bad #5 yellow. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jude, The key word is: Location, location, location. What is most important are both the external and interior Feng Shui of a home. This involves: Shapes and Forms and Compass School of Feng Shui. The Compass School of Feng Shui is based on both the : Kua (Gua) and Flying Star Feng Shui. Currently, what you are looking at is just the Kua (Gua) of a person. And the directions you mentioned are considered very "simplisitc" as it does not take into account Flying Star Feng Shui. Where under Flying Star Feng Shui, directions are equally important not just the Kua (Gua) of a person. What you are doing therefore only takes into account directions based on persons with no relation to directions based on the birth-chart of the home i.e. Flying Star Feng Shui. Quote: I will be placing my bed headboard in the northwest but according to the pa kua of the house the bathroom is in the career place & kitchen in the friends place Proper application of Feng Shui is like taking an examination. No need to tell many of us how to pass examinations as the key essence is to try to maximize as much marks as possible. For example, if we are suppose to answer 5 questions out of 10. And each question carries 20 marks. And if we already know that "pa kua of the house the bathroom is in the career place & kitchen in the friends place" it is not like we can get the earthquake to shift our bathroom to e.g. North etc... And even if we try to "pathe - the bathroom in gold" we are not going to maximize marks, here. Thus, the idea is not to look or try to squeeze as much luck if this is not possible, here but to look elsewhere to achieve more marks. Feng Shui is about trying to fix as many leaks as possible and enhance sectors that have good qi. For areas, that it is nearly impossible to improve on... don't crack your head on them! And yield very low returns. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. To be really (really) frank, such objects does not have any "magical" properties. 2. In recent years, many of these products are purely commercial productions... Somehow, many of us seems to be taken in by sales talkinto buying these products. 3. To be honest, these commercial products are widespread because, they can be manufactured cheaply and sold for a "bomb". And many of these products don't come with a guarantee of making the owners rich! Once sold, caveat emptor! " Let the buyer, beware!" 4. Look at it this way, during my parents time or grand parents time or even my great grand parents time, many of such products have never been produced .. only just recently in modern times especially from early 1980's onwards. Such products ... in the name of "Feng Shui" were produced.. 5. Frankly, look at all the rich people, both Chinese and non-Chinese. They do have decorations or decorative items but these are merely decorative items. Not in the name of "Feng Shui"... this and that! 6. If see many of the Chinese period costume shows of the past eras, the martial arts master don't place such things as a pi xiu! 7. The rich get richer, because they are able to get good advice into purchasing a good property with "excellent Feng Shui". Excellent Feng Shui does not mean placing all those "silly" objects all over the home! Goodness me! 8. I pity many Singaporeans living in small crammed Housing Board apartments. Just take a few steps and we reach the end of the living room / dining. Yet, these homes are so cluttered with "laughing buddha", fish tank, many altars and all sorts of "rubbish" in-the-name-of-fake-Feng Shui products! Why despite placing all these products.. these people don't get rich? 9. Roll-over-credit Pity some people are already in serious credit card debts... and yet... some of these sellers keep on asking these poor souls to buy these decorative commercial products! 10. Instead of reducing their debt, these people, hope that "money literally" fall from the sky after placing things like the three-legged toad etc... (Pity.. because such products are manufactured very cheaply and sold at a huge amount. Guess who earns your hard earned money? 11. Usually, even when we want to place nice decorative objects, for example, those or some, would place a well rounded lions with similing faces on their entrance gate. And these lions are plum and prosperous looking. 12. In recent years, in China, some people don't use a pair but just single decorative e.g. pi xiu. So again, a pair of pi xiu is modern "decorative" items. 13. I would rather save my money for the rainy day or with that money save for children's future or just bring family members out for a nice meal. Rather, than waste such money on commercial products... 14. Quite alot of people, end up, a few months or years later, allow these items to gather dust, and some chuck it away or literally threw them away! 15. Where do we place these items? Treat them as : Decorations, decorations, and decorations! And a dusty collecting item. Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. I was surpised thatwhen we purchase a 3M floor mat costing only Singapore $29.90 , it comes with a TWO year guarantee! Why don't ask the seller of very expensive items like a S$688/- or more togive you a guarantee card.. that withine.g. 14 days afterpurchase, money will drop from the sky! Human Luck factor: Some gullible persons, unfortunately thrive on hope; and for some of these people, perhaps, an indirect benefit of buying such objects is : hope... This is the only reason, or argument for purchasing suchcommercial products! Frankly, this site would be very rich if we chose the wrong ideals of selling such commercial products! But it is against our principles to do so!

Dear Anon, It is best to check to confirm that you are a "weak wood" person after you have entered your time-of-birth, under the url below:- freereport.geomancy.net - Thus, STRICTLY from the Five Elements concept in relation to a weak wood person, a "fire" career is considered inauspicious. You have used your own intutition and feltthat you may not be keen to go into the plastic injection industry. Frankly, it is best to consult family members also for their opinion. Given that you are not that young born in 1966 and in Singapore, may not be considered "young" labour force anymore... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Deoyani, 1. To the Chinese, we are very particular about feet facing the main door (or bedroom door). This is because, we call this the "coffin position" where, some still practise bringing the coffin into the home. And when the time is up for funeral ceremony, the coffin is moved with the feet first out of themain door. 2. For other races, if the above is not practised, this is not so bad. 3. Based on Commonsense approach to Feng Shui, many of us may not like (e.g. in an apartment or landed property) if we were to open the main door, let others view our entire body since our leg is facing the door. 4. The last resort is (if no choice is to) close the bedroom door when we are sleeping...

Dear Anon, To be honest, over a few sentences, it is very difficult to pin-point what is the issue. Generally, if everything else remains the same and then when we shift to a new home; issues come-up. Most likely there are "wealth-leaks" in your existing home: For the home Feng Shui, the leak(s) could be due to Shapes and Forms: do stand inside the main door looking outwards... check for any "poison" arrows such as lone lamp posts etc... or any pointed roofs of neighbours aiming either towards the main entrance door or the windows. The other concern is how suitable the home is to the male breadwinner and other Compass School concerns and if possible the knowledge to neutralise these. Frankly, moving home sounds simple, but can be a double edged sword: for the lay person, how are you going to know whether, the new home is better or could be worse off than the present home. For things like Feng Shui etc.. better to seek professional help, if you can in your area. Warmest Regards, Cecil
