Hi, Cecil. Thank you for your answer. I believe, though, that the way I described the screen was ambiguous. I meant hat the vertices of the panels of the screen were pointing at the dingin table where we sit. Do you see what I mean? \/\/\/\/\screen ____ |____|table I also wanted to ask you: sometimes, blue is said to be wood and sometimes, water. Sometimes,brown is said to be wood and toerhs earth. Which is it? I read that water fourntians in the center of a home can be harmful becasue it drains away qi. SI this true? My final question: There's a building in Hong kong that sits on a hill and has a big square hole through the center of it. It looks like this from the front ________ | _ | | |_| | |hole| |_______| they said it was for qi to pass through it better. is this right?

Or both `left and right' sides should be balanced. Equally important is the shape. The best shape is still `an Up' outline e.g.:- ^ / \ / \ | | If the front of the house looks like the above with pointed arrow facing other houses, much the better to this occupant. Many people are more concern with their homes than others. And, although it may not be favourable to the neighour (if their main door happends to be directly facing this `arrow' sha qi. Flat roofs are usually not preferred for homes especially in the equator. As hot air cannot rise up adequately. And if there is no insulation, direct sunlight can heat up the roof. Many of the homes built in the Far East, has a Ba Gua shaped balcony or family room area especially at the South (fire sector). And some of these have their toilets at the North (water) position. An example is `The Meyer Place' condo. Do a search in the forum for more details of this development. Usually, leaf edges are not a real threat. The real threat is usually thru the tree trunk (not covered with leaves). Have to really see it before, I can fully comment on it. But in doubt, no harm to screen it out. It is best to use Pillars of Destiny (Ba Zi) in such a situation. Especially if there are two or more persons e.g. a couple sleeping in the bedroom. Professional level Pillars of Destiny does not only take into consideration the Year of birth but much more than that to determine your actual element and strength. Only after finding it out and looking at the `binding' element of both e.g. husband and wife can then proper elements e.g. colour scheme be taken into consideration. We offer free service on this. And if you have a layout plan, can either, fax to us, e-mail us a scanned image. Or simply attach a scanned image to this forum (message). And I can help to determine the centrepoint for you. Frankly, proper and sensible food intake. And most important - will power and determination -> to gradually loose weight over a period. Many times, most of us, try to do it at `one go' and later put on more weight instead. Many quick `fix' programmes may not be appropriate as some let you lose `water content' rather than sensible weight. Sometimes, too drastic a program may lead to health problems or lack of minerals/vitamins. Warmest Regards, Cecil Copyright 1996-2002 Geomancy Network, http://MyAdviser.Geomancy.Net.
