Dear Aloysius, 1. In practise, taking a que from Management Principles: for those who had study or read management principles; just note the key word: 2. "Situational Approach" So what is this "situational approach?" : It simply means "Most of the time, no two situations are the same". 3. Look at it from another point of view (via Logic): "There is no RIGHT or WRONG answers"! 4. Flying Star Feng Shui comes in two forms:- "Horizontal Flying Star" and "Vertical Flying Star"! 4a. What is horizontal Flying star Feng Shui (or chart)? This is the common Flying Star chart where we either draw a pie or a grid method. 4b. What is vertical Flying star chart? This is more recent. And for those using this website's free Apartment or unit number input to check how auspicious your apartment is, then you have already used or tried out it out. Thus, what it implies is that even in a block of flat or apartment, qi is considered different at different floors or storeys. Thus, say an address: Block 56, unit #05-66 is said to have different qi from another unit in this same block. Thus unit #6-66 may have different qi although they are at the same block. 5. In the past, it is more common for a Feng Shui practitioner to evaluate bigger plot of land and if so, in general, a pie chart is the best choice in most circumstances, here. 5.1 Just think about it. Why call it "horizontal Flying star?"; thus the clue here is the larger the piece of land, the most convenient method to analyse MACRO Feng Shui is to use a pie chart. 5.2 Situational Approach If your unit is generally squarish in shape then, logically, a grid is easier ot use or analyse. And some Feng Shui books, prefer to drawgrids, as it is one of the easiest way to produce anddisemminate information! 6. In general, many of the Traditional Feng Shui practitioners use the pie chart. Again, logically, for drafting andproducing reports for our clients, a pie chartfits nearly all types of units orlanded homes or apartments. Here, one good thing about the pie is that we can immediatelyafter determining the centrepoint of the home or "center of gravity" and thenplace the entire layout. 7. Thus, as you can see in a REAL world environment where, for me, I have to work on lots of layout plans every day, it makes sense for me to use the pie. 8. Don'tget me wrong, here, Inever say grid is no good!Again, I emphasise that the few Traditional FS practitioners who do make an effort to give clients report after report, usually use the pie. For the above reason. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Aloysius Chia wrote: I would like to know in reading Flying Star Chart what method would be most accurate or rather easy to understanding as in 9 grid chart or the pie chart.

Dear Benny, 1. It is best to seek professional Feng Shui advice especially if one wants to utilise Feng Shui. 2. On a self-help basis: Usually, if possible, knowing whether one is an East or West Group can help. 3. Besides this, since the piece of land is from east to west, try to position critical areas such as bedrooms, living rooms or critical walls in any of such rooms within the "afternoon sun" or west. Imagine, working or sleeping in a west room .. especially even after 7pm if the wall of a bedroom faces the afternoon sun. It will literally soak in the heat! And subsequently release from the wall. Thus turning on a fan does not help. Unless one turns on aircon to cool down the place. 4. Often, in general, many people prefer a North-South home because only radiated light comes into the home. And such homes especially if bedrooms, living rooms are properly away from the influence of the morning sun and afternoon sun. 5. Thus for a east-west facing home, if we are not careful, in the morning, direct sunlight may come in and in the afternoon we face the dreaded afternoon sun! 6. For darker skinned persons, morning to afternoon sun although may be a concerned if exposed too much but for fair skinned persons, just imagine, your bedroom window is directly facing say the afternoon sun! For children, if we place their study table against the window, here, sometimes, even if we do use darker curtains, UV or ultra-violet light would still shine in! Some tinted windows even have zero UV protection! If the child is exposed too long to UV light.. one day.. we may see the child getting "darker.. and darker" i.e. suntan... ! Just carry on imagine.. more.. I d'ont need to further elaborate, further. 7. In addition, for a landed property, under the water dragon classics, a good Feng Shui practitioner can advise you where to "exit" the drainage for the home to maximise good Feng Shui qi! For example, usually every Feng Shui facing direction has three good qi sectors: 1. Great Wealth location 2. Great Power and authority 3. General overall luck and wealth Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: I have a piece of land 700m2 (18meters north to south and 39 meters east to west) in the middle of the ricefield in Bali.

Dear Anon, In a real world situation, lets be practical: in a human situation, there are two main parties involved: the Feng Shui practitioner and their clients. Thus, there will always be different situations: where a Feng Shui practitioner may either practise Feng Shui WITHOUT religion especially if the practitioner is a free-thinker or in the west, some practitioners some how or other may be e.g. a born Catholic or a taoist etc... Even if the practitioner is non "religious" but like you had mentioned, the client has a religion, a good Feng Shui practitioner has to provide advise to both non and religious clients. Especially if the clients "insists" or have an altar. Thus, we really live in a real world situation. If say the practitioner perhaps is non-religious or even if he is religious but does not mix the too, somehow.. the practitioner cannot simply tell the client : Hey! stop! No altar please! Does not make sense, here. The practitioner "earns his" pay from the client and not vice-versa! Logically, a "mountain" in a home is usually a "solid" wall or some good backing. So sensibly, thus the best locations for an altar is at a "mountain" location! and usually this mountain position may face a "water" position i.e. clear space - not literally actual water! Therefore, thru logic, especially for many older layouts of the HDB apartment units, many of the centrepoint is usually: 1. close to the centrepoint of the home; 2. this location directly faces the living room window And this location is one of the "cleanest" location in a small HDB apartment. Where it is taboo to place the altar with it's back to a toilet andalso it is not good to face the bedrooms. Therefore,if one analyse the above closely, one can understand,logically as what you had mentioned: "For example I came across that they place the alter at the mountain star 8 sector to represent big earth. Is it true that it has impact." After what I had mentioned, above, please draw your own conclusions, here. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Dear FS Master, Does applying flying star fengshui has a link to religion as some FS Master do look into consideration. For example I came across that they place the alter at the mountain star 8 sector to represent big earth. Is it true that it has impact.

Dear Leigh, In my opinion, many traditional practitioners of Feng Shui strongly believe that we should not reverse the readings for the southern hemisphere. I am not going to comment on the use of the "fixed template" or the placement of a "fixed" bagua onto a layout plan as this is a modern invention. And not widely practised by Traditional School(s) of Feng Shui. The example of water draining out of the sink the opposite site which differs clockwise or anti-clockwise between the North and South hemispere is often used by those who reverse the readings. There are lots of arguments against this such as the Five Elements Concept: Metal - Water - Wood - Fire - Earth certainly does not have impact whether one is in the North or South hemisphere. Many other concepts in Feng Shui also are affected by this North-South .. thing. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Leigh Catt wrote: Could you please tell me how to place the Ba Gua over my house plans in the Southern Hemisphere? There seems to be so much debate over whether North and South are reversed etc. My main entrance is in North, so is my relationship area in South-West or South-East? Thankyou.

Dear Michelle, In my opinion, this concern of mirror facing our bed is very interesting as there are two different view points, here: 1. It started with some Feng Shui books, commenting that when we sleep, these books mentioned that "our spirit" will float and if our bed is facing the mirror or a tv screen that has highly reflective glass.. our spirit will get a shock when it sees it's own image! Perhaps, the spirit froze to death? 2. Another side of the argument is that what happens if - indeed when we sleep, our spirit really float and sees itself in a mirror... Perhaps, it is a blessing in disguise as now this spirit, can personally look at his/her appearance to check whether he/she is good enough to wander off! ie. nicely combed hair etc... 3. We are on this earth for such a short period of our life! So, having TV set facing us is to many of us advantages, in that we have our personal space, comfortably seated in our bed viewing wonderful pictures on our TV set! 4. So, why, because someone says that is not good to have a TV (or mirror) face us and just because of this "silly" argument, deprive us of having a TV set in our bedroom much less have to cover it every now and then. 5. Millions people, right now (different cultures) like you and me have a TV set in our bedroom. To be frank, personally I also have a

Dear Anon, Fundamentally, (or the good news) is that one should not be too concerned in your situation:- " Weshould not plan any renovations at these sectors and must try not to disturb these bad stars via renovations. " For info:- Grand Duke this year is North, 0 Degree. - Avoid sitting facing the grand duke or disturbing him by having renovations. Location in Conflict is South. - Avoid having renovations done opposite the location in conflict. From the above, the good news is that South happens to have bad stars that if we do not do renovations, there.. no issue. Thus, it is still perfectly fine to face South. Try not to confuse South = location of conflict with Grand Duke. Thus as mentioned, above, South : just happens to be the conflict location, this year and avoid renovations at that spot is key to the issue. Since Grand Duke is at zero degrees north this year; especially for those sitting in a meeting room or doing sales; if possible try not to face North directly (again if possible). In fact, for you on the contrary, based on what you had mentioned, looks like you are facing South! Which is good as Tai Sui or Grand Duke of Jupiter is behind or supporting you at North! Hope the above clarifies your concern. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Anonymous wrote: Should I be changing facing direction to avoid a bad star? Unfortunately the only other direction I can face is SW which is an unfavourable direction. So which is better? (a) Avoid facing South and risk facing an unfavourable direction; or (b) Continue to face South but risk the flying star 5 and 3 killings? What other cures can I put in place to protect myself in 2008?

In an office environment; yes, there is distinction between using Kua (Gua) or the Eight House Theory vs Flying star (Compass relating ot the birth-chart of a location) Feng Shui - in short. 1. We should look at Kua numbers -- in short we should try to maximize our sitting position by : sitting facing our "Prosperity" sector. 2. In the following example, a person who has Kua type 7 - Dui:- In his4 Good and 4 Bad Directions North-West (Metal) Prosperity North (Water) Disaster North-East (Earth) Longevity West (Metal) Excellent Sample Gua analysis East (Wood) Death South-West (Earth) Health South (Fire) Spook South-East (Wood) Irritation HisBEST sleeping position Between: North-East (22.5 to 67.4) = Longevity South-West (202.5 to 247.4) = Health HisBEST Working position Between: North-West (292.5 to 337.4) = Prosperity West (247.5 to 292.4) = Excellent 3. In the above example, if the person is doing business, try to position his work station or sit facing (if possible): 1st choice: North-West (292.5 to 337.4 degrees) which is his Prosperity sector. Next best choice is West facing. In general, it would be good or excellent if his office main door is facing "West" = his excellent sector. 4. Flying Star Feng Shui Both Kua (Gua) and Flying Star belongs to the Compass School Feng Shui. As mentioned under Para 1 and examples given under Para 1 to 3; Kua is simply finding our "dd-mm-yy" birthdate to determine our kua. Thus is it "personalised" to an individual. Flying Star Feng Shui is used to analyse "qi" of a particular location. Such as an office. And each individual sector(s). 5. In simplicity, one can say that as (for e.g.) if a person is a West Group person; does not automatically mean that he or she should sit in the office at NW or West or NE or SW sector. BUT, no matter where he/she sits, (if possible - or nice ot have) try to seat facing his/her "Prosperity" sector. The rationale is because, we have yet, to determine which sectors in a specific office have good qi vs other sectors. Thus, for those who are family with Flying Star Feng Shui, sectors that may have some of these examples may be bad sectors:- For example, you intend to sit at "SE" sector of a room or office, but it has nasty stars like: #3 (either mountain / base or water ) = in business means Lawsuits, disputes, quarrels. #5 misfortune/sickness = and if there is also #9, in this sector, further inflaming this bad sector. Thus a person sitting at such a sector - particularly the CEO would be plagued with "wealth loss" and if this sector also have #3, he not only have to content wth "weath loss" but also "lawsuits, quarrels, loss of contracts" etc.. Good Luck in your venture! Warmest Regards, Cecil Iam in the middle of a major office rennovation for my business and confused in trying to use Feng Shui. I am trying to understand where I should place my office and in which direction my desk should be facing. I am using the Kua Number and the Compass to determine if I made the right choice. Right now, I have chosen to put my office and desk on the SouthEastusing the compassbecause I heard it is good. However, if I use my Kua number 8, South East is not good. It should be Southwest.Hope you can clarify this. Perhaps I am mixing the purpose of the Kua Number and Compass? Many thanks in advance.

Dear Tomas, In general, when we first open door; symbolically we want to "deposit" wealth into the new home or apartment. Start of renovations is often done. Here, the most simple procedure is to bring a hammer or a screw driver if we do not have the hammer and before starting renovations, usually say in mandarin " To all the gods, apologies, as I or we are starting renovations on ..... such a such a date." Afterwards, just knock three times on the floor or some on the wall. Usually Hokkiens practice more "simple procedures". Many Cantonese on the other hand, have the concept of 5-ghosts or spirits i.e. spirit or god of North, South, East, West and Central =5 ghosts (not bad ones but they are"ghosts" = gods). Thus, someCantonese may wantto knock all4 corners: North, South , East and West and on thecentrepointpoint floor = centre and place 5 types of fruits (or pray with them). As there is the Hokkiens, there are the Cantonese, there are the Teochews, Hakka etc.. That is why there are somany differingprocedures. For example, for the 1st time open door,throwing in pineapple usually by the Hokkiens/ Teochews aspineapple sound like "ONG LYE" or prosperity come... Therefore,frankly there is no right or wrong procedures! If we analyse carefully, as mentioned earlier.. open door = usually try to deposit some wealth be it throw a pineapple etc... In this modern day, many couples new purchased their home and really have no time to do all the procedures! The best that they may do most of thetime are:- 1. Open door procedure 2. Start of renovations (sometimes, delegated to contractors) 3. End of renovations(nowadays.. in modern times.. for a tinyapartment.. usually not done - Many couples find it "time wasted" just to take leave to perform this.) 4. move-in. Frankly, if we don't do para 3, still won't "die" or have dire repercussions. In fact, for every 1 person who does para 1 to 4, there are at least 5 more who don't even do the above procedure. Thus, if one is so particular about wanting to do the above procedure, best is to look for your immediate family members : elders be it parents, grand parents or uncles or aunties to check what procedure could be done based on often one's dialect group. I would normally recommend para 1, 2 (skip 3) and go for 4. 1 and 4 can be found in this forum. As for para 2, I have elaborated a simple procedure, above. Some even go as far as burning joss papers, light up joss sticks / candles.. No right or wrong answer... Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Tomas Ka wrote: I just got a resale flat.

Dear Anon, Frankly, the hardest room to move-if any is a bathroom because of it's fixtures/sewerage piping etc... Thus, many of us have to "live" with it. In general, there are two "COMMONSENSE" approach in the name of Feng Shui: 1. If our bathroom door is fronting the stairs.. the best alternative of not seeing the toilet while moving up and down is simply to close the door. 2. Whenever we flush to toilet, especially the toilet bowl, the water coming from the toilet bowl area usually "flys" out. This is why we often here that toilet is not clean or dirty. Ordinarily, many of us are healthy individuals and a bit "dirt" does not kill us! For example, in a toilet, anywhere, we place our toothbrush, and when we flush out toilet bowl, some germs would be deposited on it. Again, many of us are healthy human beings and thus a litte germ is acceptable! The "scary" thing was one day.. while driving this "joker" advertise to buy his "disinfection" tablet to disinfect our toothbrush! Here, next time for Singaporean say going to places like Thailand or Malaysia and patronise road side vendors may not be say tolerant to unclean food etc... no immunity...

Dear Anon, The common "cure" is to place a red circular "dot" (e.g. using a permanent marker, or a circular red sticker the size of a hole-pucher hole or the use ofa "girls" reddish nail varnish. Just simply place the "dot" on the key hole area or just above the keyhole of the doorknob. Place the same "dot" exactly on the same area of the other door. Here, symbolically, the RED dot is like an "eye". And it goes " we look eye to eye with each other Anonymous wrote: the 2 bedroom doors of my apartment are facing each other what can i do with this?

Dear Anon, 1. Firstly, is there any other better alternatives then to place bamboo strips? For example, if it is a window, so long as you have closed the window or it is part of the balcony the balcony glass is on the side facing the main door such that qi cannot flow out directly. 2. If the above alternative is used, then no need to consider bamboo strips. 3. If you still have to use bamboo strips, then the "test" is so long as we humans can "see thru" the bamboo strips to our main door; then equally, it is fine to place it at the location mentioned. 4. As for the frosted glass so long as it is not reflective (like a mirror) it would be acceptable especially if it is sandblasted or "matt finish". However, if it is shiny then best not to have it if you can. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Fundamentally, what is Qi? Qi is invisible and cannot be ordinarily detected by any instrutment (although in Hong Kong, they do sell some of these products purporting to be qi detectors) Anonymous wrote: In my neighbourhood, the Govt has started roof repairs to HDB flats and soon an entire block's external facade will be repainted. Walls of common areas eg corridors, stairwells, lobby, etc will also be given a fresh coat of paint. Will these measures be sufficientto changemy flat from Period 7 to Period 8 especially if I do not renovate my unitor repaint myunit's ceiling in one session? However, many of us have learned or read that we can beneifit by activating or neutralising bad qi. Thus, Flying Star Feng Shui is thus widely used as one of the means of working out the qi flow. In my opinion, many FS practitioner still feel that although a fresh coat of paint of the block's external facade has been repainted, but to many practitioners, the building does not automatically fly to Period 8 on this basis particularly unit or cells or apartments in such a block. Take for example, true change of qi occurs (predictably) for say Funan Centre and even now going to reopen later Gina Plaza. Here, several years back, Funan Centre went for a major face lift and internal change and update. Same goes for Marina Square. Thus, for commercial building; most of the time, it is: 1. All tenants vacate the premises (TOTALLY). 2. Major renovation works: floor tiles, partitions ceiling , even many rooms or offices have been re-organised. However, looking back at your HDB BLOCK, did such a thing happen? If so, it may only occur individually. For example, in your block there may be say 100 units/apartment. And not possible for ALL units to undergo Major renovations. Thus, there is hope for change of Qi is when you (if u do not hack the floor tiles) try to have a fresh coat of paint , plus repaint the ceiling etc.. Thus, your home would not automatically change to P8 just by having what you had mentioned.

For such a sector; especially with the bad #5, here; safer (not to be greedy to try to activate #8 ) in the expense of inflamming or enlarging #5. Thus, instead try more to see if u can activate: another sector that has mountain star #8 and or water star #8, instead. And in addition, under P8, if SW is in the balcony or living room, we should try to activate water here (as SW = indirect wealth spirit location) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Chris, You should use the Personal Ba Zi for the design of your husband's logo. As the name "Personal" suggests that it is specific unlike the general Chinese horoscope. Therefore, since your husband is considered a weak metal person, in logo design, best for him to use:- 1. water = blue, black or grey and/or wavy shapes or designs 2. metal = white, silver or gold and/or circle Any of the above two combinations are good for his company logo. Furthermore, if the industry is music; then para 1 would be good since music comes under the water element i.e. blue, black, grey and waves...(wavy) logo Good Luck! Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. I am unable to advise you based on " sector " unconventional non-traditional Feng Shui. 2. This type of unconventional " FS " is a modern invention. 3. It has no merits in Traditional FS and is only popular in US. Perhaps, at best it provides `false' hope. 4. This type of " sector " thing; can be highly commercialised and one may end up spending money lining the pocket of the unsuspecting " FS practitioner " and shops that benefit by selling a person items. 5. There are a few more of such recent messages and if you do not see a reply, then one should understand that it is not worth the while pursuing these concepts. 6. These concepts are in my opinion worse off than even " Kindergarten Feng Shui " and if one examines carefully, it is quite `silly' paying homage to a corner or corner. Furthermore, these "sector" ideas, imply that it can be applied universally to everyone - too simplistic... a model. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Yes, some Feng Shui books often indicate that when we cook, we should be able to see who is coming into the kitchen. This is a commonsense approach: 1. Not often, we will leave the entrance door open. But, sometimes, when we cook, the noise may drown e.g. a bell or someone calling us at the main entrance. Especially so if it is any of our loved ones ... especially the very young children who may have just came back from school. 2. Should someone have left the entrance door open, we may see "an intruder" come in ..eg towards us.. (Most unlikely.. but this is what some of the book(s) say... Frankly, most of the time Para 1 and 2 does not happen. As often, we roughly know when our child is coming back; and we may infact.. be waiting, instead at the front door. Ideally, when we stand at the main entrance door, we should try to avoid seeing the stove directly. As it is akin to symbollically "getting"burned when we,just stepped into the home. Therefore, it is better not to hang a mirror; if we can. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Usually the air-conditioner rotary unit should be placed at a "sensible" location even if it is one's excellent sector etc... 2. Under Eight House theory, one should not be too worried about such issues. If the back area is the best location for air-con then just do it. 3. More importantly, the Eight House theory is more about which direction is more suitable etc.. Rather than if we place such a such an item at our Excellent or Prosperity sector... 4. For a fish tank either go by personal feel or if you do know how to draw a flying star chart then; for example; one can benefit from water feature in a Water Star #8 (current prosperity - Overall career luck area) or Water Star #1 (coming prosperity) sector. Alternatively, one can benefit with a water feature at a location that has nasty #5 misfortune or #2 sickness location i.e. the "water" can help drown these bad stars. However, it would not be favourable to have a water feature placed at the Mountain Star #8 (current prosperity - networking, relationship luck). Try to imagine... this location is suppose to be a "mountain" and imagine you did a lake (fish tank) and the mountain fell into the lake.. Alternatively, this 20 year, #9 is a fire element and is also known as coming prosperity. A water feature particuarly at the Mountain Star #9 is also not very favourable as water drowns fire!

Dear Anon, 1. "The spice of life is - variety". 2. Thus an object usually may not necessarily fall into just one category of the Five-Elements. Thus since this is a green garnet, more likely as what you have mentioned; the primary element of this stone is the Wood element. However, since it is physically made of stone /gem, it can equally be considered as classified asan earth element. However, as often the colour previals, we can generally say that it is green = wood element. Again, there is no right or wrong answers. Just make sure that each of your answer(s) seems reasonable.

Dear Anon, For the Chinese, in particular, when one is pregnant, one should not move one's bed. This is a taboo. More importantly, don't move your current bed especially before giving birth. Therefore, if possible, try to avoid moving any furniture (if any) inside your bedroom (master bedroom). As for other rooms or hallway furniture, for practical aspects, you should not participate in moving the furnitures. If possible, should there be a need for furniture to be moved at all, for yourself, try not to be around when they (it) the furniture are moved. We live in a practical world, and as mentioned earlier, don't touch your bedroom furniture... is good enough.

Dear Anon, For the ground floor, since there is a garage, best to close the garage door when not in use. Once this is done the middle door can still be left open without further issue.

Dear Andy, An event's manager may be considered as a wood element. While a nutritionist especially if you do provide frequent advise to people can also be considered directly as belonging to the wood element. As wood element is about "growth/ nurturing", teaching, training andin thecase of an event's manager co-ordination. If so, if we strictly based on the FiveElements concept, metal destroys wood to create wealth. Thus without considering your personal traits or preferences, both are suppose to acceptable to you.

Usually, the most obvious concern of this home is the 'T'junction that you had mentioned. In particular, the most vuneral part of the home is to check whether the main entrance or windows are "exposed" to this 'T'junction. If the main enrnace door or windows are exposed towards the 'T'junction, a cluster of bushes may not be as effective. Usually, the most effective is a "solid" wall or fencing would be better or safer. So long as one does not as yet stay in the new home, anytime of the year is OK to start renovations. However, if one has already moved-in; best for this year to avoid renovations especially at the NW (Grand Duke location which is the main door) and West (5 yellows) location. Usually, for the Chinese, we perform an "initial opening ritual". Please see attachment, below. As for the creek, usually, best to apply Flying Star Feng Shui to check how suitable is this "water position" in relation to the home. Warmest Regards, Cecil
