Within this link, you should be able to understand this word: LIMITATION The Three-Step-Approach In many instances, limitation simply means: either you face your good direction or....................... under this concept....

Looks like this may be one of the last few ECs before the government make some changes to the EC scheme. This Saturday is the start of the option to purchase....

These are some considerations: 1. It depends! 1.1. In a neighbourhood school and within a non-streaming class; if we were to grade the students in a class, it would form a "Bell curve". 1.2. Thus, even within various condos whether they are in the NE or other parts of SGP; in many instances, also, each stack and even in some instances, different storeys would also often take the profile of a "Bell curve". 2. Frankly, there are two approaches: 2.1. In the past and current; common sense says that bring along all family members to view the place. Thus, if one does not want to get a specific Feng Shui service like Can or cannot buy; then continue to view based on personal feel. 2.2. It may not be possible to get the correct information as to why the owners or subsidiary proprietors want to sell their home? It is nice to know the surrounding reason for the owner selling the unit - if possible. 2.3. Some would narrow down to a unit and before placing an option to purchase or prior to the purchase, may consider getting a geomancer to advice on whether : Can or cannot buy. 3. Often, if the unit is not as suitable, then, some geomancer would advise what to look for. And this is a good learning curve = which helps (you) to further narrow down on the facing of the unit to look for. 4. Location, location and location. Thus what is the use of a geomancer telling you that The Florida is fantastic but unfortunately, the unit that one selects may be one of the worst and may even be worst off then the condo he/she ranked as last resort. 5. If you have the time, you may want to consider reading some of the resources on Can or cannot buy http://geomancy.sg Which holds some clue as to the various flavours of such a service. 6. Finally, there is often no such thing as a perfect home (apartment). And often, an apartment can be ranked along the Bell curve: Excellent, Good (Polished gem or unpolished gem) to a 10 year old run down 1,000cc car and even to the equivalent of a LEMON.

In this extract of just one of the past cases; go to "LOOK HERE". [8] & [8] - Prosperity good wealth wasted at the back of the flat. This is fact of life for this apartment based on Flying Star Feng Shui. Unfortunately, such Feng Shui is not about either make believe, or pretend that sleeping over night and the "problem" disappears. Thus, banging one's head against the kitchen wall ain't going to help. Have to find other areas to improve or reduce "leaks".

1. Please note that there is no such thing as a perfect home. Even if we were to built our home, there are often still - some flaws be it minor or major. 2. Don't over-eat concepts like Eight House (4 Good/Bad directions) as what is most important STILL is personal feelings which is strongly associated with Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. 3. For example, even if one's good direction is directly facing a window or glare from the sunlight; after a while; even if it is a good direction, one may get headache from the glare! More... You wrote: 2) I plan on using the second bedroom as a office. I can face directly South near the far corner with my back against a wall. It is on the 3rd floor, but my back will face a window ever so slightly. We have read different things about this. Some say this is fine, because it is a home office. Others say that I should drop drapes in front of the window.. What are your thoughts on this? Most important thing is where is the natural light filtering into the room. So, what's wrong with one's back face a window? Could be if one is no offense surfing an illegal site or doing something sensitive and afraid of the whole world spying through the window(s)! If not, why should one care? Common sense says that this is an acceptable position since light filters into the room and lights up just behind us. Thus some do not need to open the window. In countries like Singapore, NY and major cities, I am sure, many bosses have their own rooms up sky high in a skyscraper. And how often is their backs against the window? Plenty of times! And many buildings even have a RED triangle marking right behind the boss window for fire-fighting access if any. So what is the big deal, here? You wrote: 3) My girlfriend wants to set up a dining room table as her office on the 2nd level (first residence level). She would face South, without a wall behind her or in front of her. She would face the kitchen. Would this be okay? Frankly, don't make Feng Shui into some kind of "religion or rather taboo". Such writing can be considered as being too myopic or rather too looney tunes. It is like when we are a student. So the excuse for not doing well is because? Teacher, I don't think I will do well as I am facing WEST! You wrote: 4) In terms of the stove, the knobs face west. We read that we can use a portable stove that faces north or south. Do you agree on this? This is not going to harm anybody. For example, some people asked, must I select an auspicious date for a new home e.g.. start of renovations / move-in. This are considered NICE-TO have and not a MUST-have. You wrote: 5) We are unsure of the where the toilets are specially, but we could send you a floor plan if that would help. This is only a General Advise forum. And there are no guarantees as to whether it will be answered especially if it gets more and more personal.

You wrote: 1) It is a 3 story apartment. The first story is really non existent except that the front door opens to a very small (couple feet) walk-way which goes directly to a staircase that goes upstairs. We read online that this can be bad. We read on your site that it might be okay. Is it okay to have the front door open to a staircase that immediately goes upstairs to the apartment? This is based on symbolism in Feng Shui. Contrary to what you are thinking; it is not the idea of "that the staircase that goes upstairs" but rather; the symbolism that wealth from the upper floor (gravity) flows down the stairs and OUT of the apartment. Thus, it implies wealth flowing out and out of the home .... This is based on SYMBOLISM, that's all. And not due to some hocus pocus or some Voodoo Feng Shui concept. If one can accept it or if there are considered not more than 3 or more major "leaks" it is achievable.

In Feng Shui you are right to use that term or one can equally say "it is a pity the wealth location is wasted at the kitchen." Whatever description, am I correct to say, it ain't good to hear about it = inauspicious. Don't expect a miracle cure ON THIS subject matter. Please re-read my previous postings on this thread.

These are useful resources on facing direction: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=32493&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=15673&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=15672&new= As for how do I determine the year build; there must be either some record of when the EXISTING building was built and 1st or initial occupation. May be can check with the landlord. For Flying Star Feng Shui, it is slotting the home into one of the 20 year flying star periods i.e. 1983 to 2004. And one do not need to know the exact date e.g. 5 Jan 1985 10.55.55 secs type of thing.

Majority of the time, it is acceptable to have a water position at the FRONTAGE. The main reason is based on pure common sense. Whenever we have a pool of water or a water position: it simply implies that nothing else can be built on-top of or above this water position. If so, it allows for unobstructed view or clear space = bright hall effect. Which is advantages for the "collection" or accumulation of qi or allowing simply for better flow of AIR.

1. Shapes and Form vs Flying Star 1.1. From a Feng Shui point of view: the key essence is " Form prevails over substance " or rather bear this in mind "THE FORMS DETERMINE THE STARS, THE STARS DETERMINE THE FATE OF THE PEOPLE LIVING IN A HOME." 1.2. The above statement implies that Shapes and Forms prevail over Flying Star. 2. Bright Hall effect (clear space) + Water classics (determine water directions and positions) 2.1. In many instances, garden Feng Shui has more to do with the bright hall effect + water classics. 2.2. For example: Water classics would be a better choice to determine whether a water feature is needed or ESPECIALLY how the drainage WITHIN a property flows OUT of the home (EXIT the home). 2.3. In 70% or more cases, usually it is still acceptable to have a water feature at the frontage ( irregardless of the STARs - Flying Stars). 2.3.1 Thus even if the stars are "bad" or inauspicious for a water position, even if we place a water feature, often the Shapes and Forms would supersede this.) 2.3.2 As often when we do have a water feature, nothing can be "built" above this creating a BRIGHT HALL = clear space effect. 3. Thus, as you had mentioned, in an OPEN area; Flying Stars is less effective. 4. And given what I had wrote under Para 1: "the stars determine the fate of people living in a home" It isGOOD/BETTER/BEST to apply Flying Stars WITHIN A HOME. 5. Therefore, don't try to apply Flying Stars when it is the least effective (outside) of a home. One can still apply but Para 2 supersedes it tremendously.

These are several considerations: 1. Compass versus Flying Stars 1.1. It should actually be stated as: Compass School of Feng Shui: Eight House (4 Good/Bad) plus Flying Stars. 1.2. The Three-Step Approach You mentioned: My situation involves my bathroom and toilet being located in the North-West, which corresponds to the Health location according to your reports (8 House Chart). However, my son is associated with Death from this location. 1.2.1. One must possess a proper understanding of the 8 House concept. 1.2.2. Here, I regret to say, you are overlooking the main point. 1.2.3. The essence of the matter is that if an individual does not spend time in that sector, how will it affect them? 1.2.4. Therefore, if your son is not sleeping in the bathroom, which is designated as his "DEATH" sector, how will it impact him? 2. You also stated: To my knowledge, if the toilet or bathroom is situated in the NW, it is inauspicious to increase the metal. However, your report on flying stars requests the enhancement of metal due to stars 5 and 2 for a duration of 20 years. 2.1. Once again, Flying Stars is distinct from Flying Stars. The general concept that NW equals metal or North equals water or South equals Fire represents two separate ideas. 2.2. If one is studying basic Feng Shui, then perhaps the instructor would generalize that North equals Water, South equals Fire, etc. 2.3. However, at advanced levels, such as Diploma or University level, the instructor would teach "Higher" Feng Shui, specifically Flying Star Feng Shui in this context. 3. It is essential to ensure your facts are accurate. You are comparing basic studies where N equals water and S equals fire, and then attempting to align this with the study and application of Flying Star Feng Shui. 4. Furthermore, in a DIY context: The Three-Step Approach, if not properly comprehended, proves to be ineffective.

Frankly, all these have to do with personal believes than Feng Shui. In my opinion, it is best not to be too concerned with "other people's logo" especially since one does not have full control over it. If one really fancies a car, then based on ba zi; could go for one's favourable colour(s) for the car. For example in a conscripted army like Singapore uniforms: green = army white = navy blue = air force If a person is a strong wood person. Can this person requests to go into the navy (white) instead as green is considered inauspicious? What you mentioned, therefore is utopian way of thinking. Then there will be others who will say: THREE pointed stars (Mercedes) logo is inauspicious or BMW's logo shaped like a propeller is also inauspicious. All these can be classified as "peanuts". As there are even more important considerations.

Too much fast food Feng Shui can be detrimental.

Can Feng Shui back-fire?

THIS IS A CARICATURE. NO HARM INTENDED, PLEASE. Do check with the source.

1. Please take note thatthis development only has "facing" directions (standing inside the living room looking outwards) that are North or South. Thus for CityLife EC, there are totally no West Group facing units. 2. Block 51, stack 02 is closest to the road : Tampines Ave 9. While block 59 #17 is at the "busy" junction between Tampines Ave 7 and Ave 9. Thus DO expect "noise pollution" coming from vehicles and motorcycles using the road. 2.1 Thus those units having a suffix A (in the earlier ranking exercise plan) denote : "Expect some road noise = especially for LOWER floors and some noise even at higher floors". 2.2 Compared to pool facing, majority of the pool facing units are not affected by road noise either from Tampines Ave 9 and or Ave 7. Q) Under Feng Shui, is this EC has good shapes and form? 3. Frankly, it is very hard nowadays to find a perfect site that has excellent Shapes and Forms. 3.1. One plus point is that there are parks such as Sunplaza park (to the right of Tampines Ave 7) and unblocked view after Tampines Ave 9 (currently the heavy vehicle car parks). 3.2. However, major drawback is that Tampines Ave 9 is a conduit for vehicles entering or exiting the TPE and Pasir Ris thus during peak periods can be a busy and noisy road. Similarly, Tampines Ave 7 is one of the major artery roads from both directions on TPE towards Tampines Regional Centre. Thus again, this is no minor road. Q) Does Feng Shui take into consideration block and unit numbering? or only the layout? 4. One can use this "Is your unit number auspicious?" to subsequently check which UNIT number is auspicious:- http://geomancy.net/reports/reports-list/hselist-houseno.htm 4.1 For block numbers so long as they don't sound inauspicious especially to the Cantonese like Block 44 or Block 14 or some don't like Block 13. This will only affect the subsequent resale value should one try to resell these to those who are superstitious that's all. 4.2 In addition, the above unit number analysis does not take into consideration inauspicious sound like #13 or #14. In fact, to some others, this may be neutral. In addition, traditionally, Chinese prefer high floors as compared to low floors. Thus the above free report should only be used as a guideline only. Q) For the 4-bed room, bed room 4 is between the master bedroom toilet and common toilet. Is this bad as this might affect our decision to go for a 3-bed room instead. In my opinion, this is not a major issue at all provided a home should not have 3 or more major leaks.

Such things need a proper:Feng Shui Triage You said "one master suggested painting them burgundy. why?" Please check with that master. And ask him why?

1. The two stars #3 and #4 are associated or share the same significance. 2. Thus, not only just the annual #4 but also #3. 3. Common sense says that if one's water feature or position is of a certain size; it is not practical to shrink the water in such a feature too drastically. For example, if one has a fish tank. It is not practical to half-the water in such a water position. 4. Under the Five elements concept; so long as the water feature has all the five elements: then there is balance. For more information of what makes a well balanced water feature comprising all five elements: Resource: http://fountain.geomancy.net Para 2.1 to 2.12

In the past, all developers would release all stacks/units during their VVIP Preview launch. Not today. Developers are playing it smart. Often, on their VVIP Preview launch sale; they would only release specific stacks. And learning their past mistakes, the developers would hold back some CHOICE stacks. And very often, in today's highly regulated sales curbs; often, one could obtain bargains right to the last minute especially for less than popular developments liked'Leedon.

When reviewing layout plans for a home with more than one storey: 1. Always compare the second-storey layout with the ground-floor layout by superimposing one over the other. 1.1. For the ground floor, make sure that toilets on the second floor—especially the sewerage pipes and WC—are not located directly above important areas such as the main entrance, dining table, bed, kitchen stove, or altar. 1.2. On the second storey, always check the position of the ground floor stove in relation to the bed above.
