[Symbolism in Feng Shui]

Dear Cecil,
I am reading all over the internet about symolisam in feng shui. How much the symbolisam is important indeed? Mandarin duck for example - true, long-lasting love... For me, it is very foolish and have comercial role. What about pictures on the wall? For example, pictures of autumn in the west corner?
thanks in advance,
Dragana

[carpet for son's bedroom]

Thatk you for your answer. My building is built in 1975 - period 6 and the FS for my son's bedroom (bedroom is on the West sector)are: 4MS/8BS/8WS. In that combination is yellow carpet OK for him (weak earth person)? You said the red (fire element) is more a acceptable. I know, but how much red I have to put in his room? 33,3% of whole room, or some details will be OK? Like you see, the bedroom is on the West (metal element), Metal exhaust Earth... I have a blanket for his bed in yellow/dark-red color combination...
Dark-red - is that still fire element?
I am sorry to bother you, but it is very important for me.
Thank you in advance,
Dragana

Dear Anon,
Usually for a weak earth
person, the best element that
can help him is the fire
element. As fire helps earth
grow.
Adding earth element is like
adding earth to earth.
Although still favourable is
acceptable.
The only concern about earth
element is that if your house
is currently a Period 7 house
(built, renovated between 1984
onwards), take extra care of
compass directions East and
South. Especially if this is
his bedroom. As there are
usually bad earth stars at
these sectors. At these two
locations try to avoid having
too much `fire' element or
earth element at these two
sectors.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Cecil,
I have two quations:
1. my son is weak yang earth
person. He sleeps in bedroom
on the West (4MS/8BS/8WS).
West is my personal "love
direction". His room has white
colored walls, enough wooden
furniture (brown). Because, he
is weak earth person, I bought
yelow (exactly ochre) carpet
and bed-cover
(ochre/yelow/teracot color).
But still I think, something
missing there. I think to put
on the windows blue-metalic
screen (I do not know english
word for that, but it is not
like ordinary curtain, that
peaple use in offices...). Did
I something wrong?
2. Teracota color (bordou) is
it earth element,or fire
element?
Thanks in advance and regards,

[weak or strong/cures]

Dear Cecil,
when someone is weak element what he/she must do? Weak element can not use wealth element, but strong element must make balance too. What that mean? How someone can make a balance, with what? With more color of missing element in his/her interior, with more material of some object which represent missing element...
And the second quation, I got on present a decorative chimes (delphins, shells, sea stars...). Is that in the same range with feng shui chimes? Is it a cure for something?It is from plaster cast material or something similarly...
Thank,
Dragana

[Room or Home?]

Dear Cecil,
please explain me something:
1. My love sector is "West". On the West in my house(apartment) is my son's bedroom.Should I take care about that room, or I should take care about west corner in my bedroom? It is important, because my son is a weak earth person, I am strong metal. E.g. I put there yellow carpet to enhance his earth, but for me it is not suitable.
2. Shall I look at SouthWest corner of the house generally - like a "love sector" or every house has their own "love sector" (the time of built)?
3. Shall I look on all west corner (wall)of my apartment like my "love corner"?
Thanks,
Gagi

[9square or pie chart?]

Dear Cecil,
I wish to know what is the better method, 9 square format or pie chart format for someones floorplan? I ask that because if someone have rectangular apartment or room, there is much differences in thise two metods. You know, one corner is too big, and the other is to small...
I realise that 9 square format is easier, but is it rightly?
Thanks in advance for answer and thanks for such a good web site.

[Toilet in SW sector of house]

Dear Cecil,
I saw somewhere that if we have Toilet or Bathroom in SW sector, we should not energize this sector. Is that corect? I am strong metal person, Kua No. 8 and SW is my auspicious sector.
I have toilet apart and bathroom in SW corner. What that means?
Thanks,
Gaga

[Pie chart]

Dear Cecil,
I am still not sure in something. Well, I saw in one book (exactly, I saw that in many different book): when somebody's door look South (for example), he put that direction in the middle of the pie (or Lo shu square-grid)without taking care that door are totaly in the right corner of the apartment.
I thought that I should put South direction in that corner, and then I go with SW, W... Simply, does door direction always go in a middle on the bottom (with their own compas direction)line of grid or pie?
Thanks in advance,
Dragana

[feng shui cures]

Daar Cecil,
thank you for your first reply. I want to know, if I do not have real object of feng shui cures (for ex. mandarin ducs)can I put a picture of pair mandarin duck in a love corner of my house? Or can I use something alse?
Second, you said that you are consider becouse my toalet is in the same room where is my entry door and wealth corner. I must say, I had a mirror across the door. When I started reading about feng shui, I put it away immediatly. Well, what shall I do with my door of toalet? I can not put the mirror on them or paint them in red. I just can not do that, because I do not feel well just when I think about that. The door is on the left side of the entry door when you go in the apartment.
Thank in advance,
Dragana
