Dear Ken,
Please see below:-
-- Extract from a recent e-mail on auspicious measurements --
Further to what I had mentioned;
For the surface area of your `Feng Shui friendly' tables or for anyone wanting to manufacture Feng Shui friendly tables can use this explanation:-
(One Feng Shui foot is nearly equal to an imperial foot. One Feng Shui foot is roughly equal to 43 cms.)
Description of tables with multiples of 17 inches (lenght x width):-
THE MAGICAL 17 INCH FACTOR
"One Feng Shui foot was derived from the side of a square, where the length of the diagonal of a square is the square root of two. In the West, this is known as the `magic square'.
Thus multiples of 17 inches will translate to several square foot of the optimium auspicious width. "
-- End of extract --
1. Ideally, the minimum length of your screen should be 17 inches or multiples of 17 inches or approximately multiples of 43cms.
2. Usually, if the main door is too close to the screen; for example 1 to 1 1/2 metre distance, it is best to use a full screen that can cover the entire door.
This is because, it is not auspicious to open to half a `wall' (symbolic half-screen) and face a void. Here, the main door is considered out-of-balance.
For public housing flats, (this is not made known) but in the past, the government had the HDB (housing development board) flat Feng Shuied and if one checks the dimensions of the door and it's outer-frame, these are auspicious measurements. Thus, a screen following the measurement of the door or door with the outer frame are auspicious.
In your case, since the main door is quite a distance from the screen, YES, you can use `half' the measurement or the best is to go for 43 cm or multiples of 43 cm for your screen.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Master Lee:
Please help me with some
questions on flying
stars.....I've been reading
and researching your advice to
others for several days and
there are still so much more
to learn....I'm confused
about:
I would strongly recommend new users to use the SEARCH feature in this forum.
We have purposely allowed anyone to SEARCH freely into this huge resource.
We have not considered, archiving it, nor charge anyone for the messages which are written by real people on real issues.
Like examinations, the key success is to read thru some of the essence of the messages.
We have never dreamed of charging anyone for the information. And will continue to leave it available.
For those who, find the information useful, can help support us by other means.Quote- Which is better: "control"
or "weaken" the bad stars ?
Each has it's merits and demerits.
Frankly, there is no ONE right or wrong answer to this.
For example, if a room has bad #5 or #2. Since these are bad earth elements;
Under the Five element concept, seemingly: Wood can be used to crush or destroy bad earth i.e. control it.
But this can be a double edged sword if: Fire is introduced say in the room. As a result; the introduced WOOD, would help fuel FIRE which will inturn fuel more bad earth.
Given this; it would be in such a situation - better to use Metal. Since it can help to weaken Earth.
Thus, on a more cautious side, I would say, METAL is a better choice.Quote- The living room is where
you relax to watch tv and
listen to music...but is it
consider yin or yang area ??
This is not as important as:
1. How much natural light filters into this area?
2. If there is no natural light (quite dark); one can compensate it by turning on artificial light.
Frankly, this is not a major issue here. Although it sounds interesting to `bark-up' this tree; this is not the main concern in Feng Shui.Quote- Does one compare the
interaction of the Mountain
and Water stars or do you
place more emphasis on
Mountain star if the location
is a bedroom ?
If one is proficient with Shapes and Forms, frankly, one do not really need to rely on Flying Star or numerology of it in Feng Shui.
This is because " Water stars " or activiating it is as easy as making sure that at the frontage e.g. main door or living room or balcony area, there is clear space.
However, for mountain stars (if found), under Flying Star, it can only be activated at the `back' or a solid wall or a symbolic wall or support.
As much as we like to wishfully activate a mountain star - it would be silly to activate it at the main door. For example, isn't it silly to place a rock above the main door?
Commonsense tells us that law of gravity can effectively bring down this rock dropping it on someone's head - if they are unlucky enough.
Similarly, why place a mountain to block our water (clear space) at the front? Symbolically, it is like giving ourselves `difficulty' each time we step into the house.
Therefore, mountain star(s) can be activated only on set conditions. And even if it is found at the frontage - it is fool hardy to activate it.

GRAND DUKE
I saw your reply to one of the
members. You said should not
repaint the
wall where the Grand Duke is.
However, if I am moving to a
resale flat and
need to repaint the whole
house ie. all the walls, then
what happens? Am I
disturbing the Grand Duke?
Is'nt it funny to leave one
wall unpainted?
1. Frankly, this is not an issue.
2. When one takes over a new house/apartment, one has not being considered as moved-in yet.
3. Yes, it is very unrealistic to leave a wall or flooring untouched. It is very impractical - and seems `silly' to do so:)
4. This is why another key sucess factor in Feng Shui is the selection of auspicious dates.
5. The two most important dates are:-
5.1. Selecting a good date for start-of-renovations.
5.2. Selecting a date for move-in.
6. After selecting an auspicious date for start-of-renovations, the contractor can start work even at the Tai Sui location.QuoteMAIN ENTRANCE DOOR
I found that my main entrance
door is facing Northwest which
is an
unauspicious direction for all
of our 3 members of the
family. However,
directions of other rooms are
suitable.
So do I say this house is
suitable for us or not?
1. The key to understanding this is to look at it from this point of view:-
2. Especially for the breadwinner; if a house / apartment is unsuitable; and depending on the degree of unsuitability i.e. death or disaster or irritation or spook; it is akin to having a `fractured arm' when first moved-in.
3. If one also has te toilet at the centrepoint and toilet next to the main door; it is akin to having a leg amputated when first moved-in.
4. Usually, these are known as `leaks'. The more the leaks, the more or higher the probability that it may lead usually first towards finance problems.
5. Therefore, if one has such a home, it is more evident to avoid - ADDITIONAL leaks.
6. Going forward; often, problems arise because of one or more such leaks.

Dear Wasis,
1. You have posted an interesting question indeed.
2. In my personal perspective; public companies are often run by a majority shareholder. Often, the shareholder is an `influential' shareholder.
3. To be honest, we do get many corporate heads especially the Chairman / CEO / MD who requests to look at the designs submitted by the concept artists or Marketing head.
4. And without much funfare and with much secrecy, the birth chart of e.g. the Chairman is looked at to see if the logo harmonies with them.
4.1 It is with these influential parties that make a request - that it is transparent to the rest of the rest of the shareholders.
4.2 Ultimately, we say " they call the shots ". I know of many Chinese bosses and many stakeholders of companies often go by this not so visible route.
4.3 Likewise, we often meet the bosses in the evening after most or all their staff had left or on a Sunday or Saturday to analysis the sitting positions.
Many facets of Feng Shui for these people are often not seen by the masses. Thus, such is the confidential arrangment for a FS practitioner.

Further to what I had mentioned, for most homes especially flats and apartments, the key success in analysing a home is to find the centrepoint.
For those who are more inclined towards Shapes and Forms:-
Try to imagine the centrepoint as the `heart' of the house.
Often taking reading from the centrepoint is the better solution because: we are trying to encourage Qi flow from the main door or even balcony down towards this centrepoint or flux - much like a train station exchange where qi (invisible) air moves towards the rest of the house especially the bedrooms etc... and vice versa.
For those who are more inclined towards mathematics - applying Flying Star Feng Shui (Xuan Kong Feng Shui):
This same method is used - and more importantly, it is translated to numbers where these people can easily understand these numbers.
The dynamics of Qi flow - penetrating Sha qi, stagnant Qi, dead qi (especially the storeroom); beneficial shen qi etc... is infact are most important.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Guest,
1. Please take a look at the attached file: flux.gif
2. Potentially, there is a leak from the main door to the windows & vice versa.
Even if you do not open the main door often, this is considered a wealth leak.
3. The advantage (please see the red line) is to use a screen that covers the entire main door.
3.1 This screen should be at least up to the height of the main door and `air-tight' i.e. it does not have pigeon holes. It can be a rattan screen that allows some air - still ok.
3.2 What is the purpose of the screen?
Two main purpose:-
1. It will help to make the living/dining into two `smaller' rectangle shape.
Note: Rectangle shape is a good form or multiples of rectangle shape or symbolic multiple shapes are ideal in a home.
2. If we imagine the `flux' or centrepoint of your house, what we want to do is to have air that can flux or meander from the living room area to towards this flux into other rooms.
3. The key success in a home is to see Qi flow that can constantly move around freely and clearing stagnat qi within the house.
4. And imagine this: if one lives on an island or even a land mass, there is always water positions especially the sea. If one studies geography, one can imagine that in the day time, the sun heats the land mass, while the sea is cooler. And air constantly from from land to the sea and vice versa.
5. Depending on the house, in the day time sometimes air can blow in from e.g. the living room balcony / bedroom while at night it may come from the opposite direction.
6. We should take advantage of air to circulate freely in the home.
7. An alternative, for the rich, is to turn on air con all round. This circulates the air.
8. It is the constant moving of air or qi that is indeed the invisible `key sucess factor' and can significantly bring up the `luck' of a home.
9. Missing Corners
9.1 Given your layout plan, try instead to concentrate on allowing free movement or air from the living/dining via the centre to the bedrooms and vice versa.
9.2 Mirrors are a double edged sword. If placed at wrong locations especially for a period 7 house i.e. at the East wall and South wall - this is not ideal. As one may inadvertently create twice the `bad luck'.
9.3 Based on your layout, and looking at the flux, I do not see the missing corners as a real concern.
9.4 In fact, if your window is the casement type i.e. that has a window that swings outwards, this is advantages and it can collect more air (qi) into a comfortable and airy house. As oppose to a sliding window, which often, one has one panel that cannot be opened.
9.5 The good thing about your layout is the compensating factor of the windows at the missing corner - as opposed to a solid wall. This can work to your advantage if air can be trapped within this area - much like the palm of the hand, catching wind.

Dear Janna,
1. Let me give an example:
2. It is interesting to note that often the advice given for those `playing' majong a 4 player Chinese; for the player to sit e.g. at 210 degrees facing other players. (Frankly, I don't play majong - so cannot say for sure what are the odds like - here).
3. In wars, it is always said to be advantages to have the Grand Duke behind the troops.
4. Overall, Grand Duke is all about the largest planet in our galaxy. With such a large planet, it is said that the magnetic influence it welds is great. We can, reasonably say that Tai Sui aka Grand Duke relates to the influence of such a force.
5. "Sitting" at Grand Duke's location is not akin to like sitting on him or disturbing him, if I read your message correctly.
6. But it is often best not to distrub especially the walls - repaint or touch the Grand Duke at 210 degrees. - This is more realistic then, `fearing' moving around this location in the office or home.
7. Personally, I feel that it is ok to have the office or work area at this location.
Warmest Regards,
CecilQuoteOn 2/24/2003 10:08:00 AM, Anonymous wrote:

Dear Mr Chin,
In my opinion, it is best to look at career change from a strategic point of view. first.
Today, in Singapore, especially if a person is around 35 and close to 40 or more, it is quite risky to change job nowadays. Since, employers may prefer to hire younger workers.
It is best to discuss this option with your immediate family members. Often, it is safer under this present bad economic downturn to `ren' or be extremely patient.

Dear Robin,
1. The best approach is to try to find a company logo that fits the owner (if it is a self-proprietory) and if say there are two partners, then it is preferred that a logo can match or harmonise both partner's ba zi.
2. The above is preferred over the definition of elements or colours based on one's business model. This second paragraph can be considered : NICE TO HAVE. But not necessary as important as the first (under 1st paragraph).

I have a question about

In Hong Kong where I live,
there's no mention about the
Chinese zodiac Dragon in
conflict with Tai Sui.
Chinese astrology is too general. Last year, Tai Sui was exactly at 180 degrees or South (Fire Horse). Under Chinese astrology, the main `conflict' of the Horse is the Rat.
In general, overall, it is said that the Rat would not have as good year in the Year of the Horse.
Chinese Astrology, frankly (in my opinion) is too simplistic as many take into account only the YEAR of birth.QuoteHowever
I saw a poster at the Siong
Lim Temple (Kim Keat -
Singapore) indicating that it
is. So I offered prayers on
behalf of my son (born in
1988).
Posters are man-made. Perhaps, it is to encourage the offering of prayers (with or without substance) - erh..my opinion only.
Perhaps, to me, I draw a parallel to a poster that says " Brushing teeth to prevent decay ". And children in school do so together.QuoteCan you explain the disparity?
What happens if "Dragon" is
not in conflict and I've
offered prayers? What are the
implications?
Frankly, I do not see any harm since physcially at home; Grand Duke has not been distrubed or touched in any way.

Dear Dominique,
1. Most importantly, what is the gravity or seriousness of the imbalance.
2. If it falls more into a room especially a bedroom than the second bedroom; then, often I set of cure is necessary. Especially if the other room is say the wardrope area.
3. But if the stars are pretty bad. For example, if the house is a Period 7 house; and the second bedroom is sandwiched between say East (often bad stars here) and South (sometimes bad stars); then the most productive is to paint say this room white (metal).
If the room is in beige, cream or yellow which belongs to Earth, this may inadvertently fule further bad earth and thus cure would be required.

Dear Dominique,
1. The key success factor is all about `balance'.
2. Under the Five Elements concept; balance is important.
3. Under the higher form i.e. Yin and Yang, balance is equally important.
4. Even in our daily lives, balance is good.
5. Thus it does not necessarily mean that placing dozens of six coins would mean that it is good. It can instead become an `over-kill'.
6. When determining e.g. a `cure' under Flying Star Feng Shui, we need to look at the strength or balance at a specific sector. Often, we need only 1 set of six coins at a specific sector.
7. If the situation demands another stronger cure, than it is better to use the next best alternative.
8. For example if it has been determined that 1 set of six coins is not enough, for example: at a specific sector there are just too many #5 x 3, then another cure should instead be used such as a pendulum clock or salt water in glass jar.
If not sure what they are, again, please try to do a SEARCH for " pendulum " or " pendulum clock " or " clock ".
If not sure what is the salt water cure is then do a SEARCH for " salt " or " salt water ".

Dear Master Lee:
Could you explain the
reasoning on the use of
6-string coins ?
In fact, this information is widely documented under this forum.
Please try to use the SEARCH feature located in this forum and type in words like " 6 coin " or " 6 coins ".
I believe, you can be able to see a long (very, very long) list of what is is used for.QuoteIs it used
to cure bad sectors or can it
be used to enhance a sector
such as wealth ?
If you do the above SEARCH, you should have no problem understand that for most part it is used as a cure.
For enhacing wealth sector:
1. Please try to take some effort to understand the Five Elements Concept.
2. For those who are new, the easiest to understand is the Productive Cycle:
2.1 Here, if one look carefully at the productive cycle - Metal SUPPORTS Water.
2.3 Thus, Metal is often associated with water.
For those who are new to Feng Shui should spent some time to go thru in particular this resource:-
http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/arowanafish.htm
Please go thru Q1 (question 1) and in particular Q2 (question 2).
Q2 will give one a clue how metal (6 coins represents Metal) element is used in Feng Shui.
3. Under Flying Star Feng Shui, if a location has Metal stars e.g. #7 or #6, then in general we can add water to a location to enhance `wealth'.
4. Conversely, if water positions are located or placed, we can use metal to enhance it. As shown in the above link.
A good example is the Suntec City fountain where the circle represent Metal element. And the circle ring is actually made of metal.
Another good example is a circular ball rotating on water. Here, circle also represents Metal element. And water is often used to lubricate or mix with it.
Under the destructive cycle, Metal destroys wood to create wealth. Please do some homework and try to do a SEARCH for any of these and understand their use.QuoteDo the coins have to be a
certain type of coins....I've
seen I-ching coins, coins with
dragons on 1 side and Chinese
writings on the other side and
they also come in different
size...
Often, try to use uniform sized coins from the same era e.g. Ching or Ming dynasty type of coins. They are often imitation coins - which is ok. They do not need to be decorative dragon ones.QuoteCan you hang more than 1 set
of 6-string coins such as 6
sets ?
I have only one advise here: Please ponder over this " Greed begets Greed ".
Furthermore, many of us do not care about fixing leaks. All we care is to forget that they exists. And the simplistic method is always... How do I create wealth? If so, this forum is not U.

Dear Ken,
1. Yes, since you feel uncomfortable, it is best to remove it as soon as possible.
2. Other information:
2.1 Often, since a bedroom is (more for rest), it is overall considered a yin location. And it would be better that bedroom lights should be balanced with more yang.
2.1.1 Yang is represented by 1, 3, 5 and 7 or odd numbers.
2.1.2 Thus since a bedroom is more yin, it would be better at the ceiling to use lights either 1 e.g. circular at the centre of the room or if one has cornice: lights as 3, 5 or 7. Often in an average Housing Board (public housing flat) 7 lights is already quite adequate.
3. Often, a crystal set of lights is more favoured in a living room as it's dispersion of light or perceived dispersion of light can sometimes to some of us create a more yang environment that could `unconsciously' threated our security or rest. But, often, this has more to do with one's tolerance than anything else. (Please see Para 4 illustration).
4. Sometimes, we hear of people removing TV sets from their bedrooms - because the heard that it was `bad' Feng Shui.
The most common `excuse' here is that when we sleep, our spirit leaves our body; and may get a shock seeing itself in the mirror.
But look at it from a different angle: But what IF? the spirit, is immune to the mirror and `loves' it. Perhaps, it would like to comb it's hair first (looking into the mirror) before `going somewhere'.
5. Locally, some of us can endure or even enjoy very hot chillies (here we call it chilli padi) - fresh small but very hot chillies much like those bottled as Tabasco sauce. But because it is fresh, it can truly `burn' one's lips... But some people are so immune to it.
6. Thus, perhaps you and I may not feel comfortable with the crystal light in the bedroom. But there is always someone out there who has no issue with it.

Dear Janna,
Usually, the type of cure will depend on the number and type of # number at a sector.
Since the sector already has 7 x 2 (small metal); followed by a #2 (sickness), then one set of 6 coins would be appropriate at the specific sector.
Please try to determine exactly where the North is?
The door closes to this North --- the six coins placed here.
Do try to check whether NE or SW has also any other #2 or #5 within these sectors. If so, and if your other doors falls close to it, and IF these sectors e.g. NE and SW are equally out of balance especially if there are further #2 with any other #5 or #3 or #4 then these sectors are candidate for additional six coins each PROVIDED:-
1. If NE or SW do have sufficient or has #6 or #7 or multipes, then, depending on the year stars are there also any #2, #3, #4 or #5?
2. Since you mentioned that at North, the Year #2 has flown into this sector; then with #7 (mountain) 2 (base) and #7 (mountain) - it is still ok or better safeguard to place one set of 6 coins since the year is also #2; since the probability of
additional #2, #3 or #4 or #5 (especially a monthly or even daily or hourly #2 or #5) can fly into this sector can be very high.

Dear Marina,
Please try this - hope this will work for you:-
1. Buy some flowers especially either rose or crysantenum and some lime.
2. If you cannot find lime in your country then, at least lemon.
3. Step 1:
3.1 Cut the lime into 4 pieces or quarters. Often cut 2 full lime into 4 x 2 pieces.
3.2 Cut away most of the stalk of the rose flower. Often 3 or 5 roses.
3.3 Try to use a clean bowl (wash basin). Or go buy a cheap and new bowl (wash basin plastic bowl).
3.4 Place the flowers into this bowl. And the cut pieces of lime into this new bowl.
3.5 Pour regular clean bathing water filling up the bowl.
3.6 Place this bowl close-by before taking a shower. Get ready a waste basket or plastic bag.
3.7 Shower yourself (or bathe yourself) e.g. with shampoo and body soap.
3.8 Once you had bathed yourself, then, with two hands hold the bowl (you may close your eyes) and pour the contents (bowl water, flowers and pieces of lime) above your head. Until the bowl becomes empty.
3.9 You may then collect the flowers and lime from the floor. And place them into this plastic bag, dry yourself and get out of the toilet.
4 After everything, close the toilet door and avoid entering the toilet (you or your family) for at least 3 hours.
5. Please note that the above is NOT Feng Shui. But is a COMMON ritual or practise used.
6. Again, I emphasie that this is NOT Feng Shui. Since this `ritual' is non religious, but often, it may help some of us, do give it a try: As it does not costs much also.
7. If you have a wife, then, she can similiarly do this `action' (I prefer to call this action rather than as mentioned earlier i.e. ritual - as it is better sounding).
8. I sincerely hope the above do help you!
9. The other alternative is to say a short and simple prayer of `forgiveness' to The Grand Duke (Tai Sui) by facing him. This year, he sits at 210 degrees or SSW.

Dear Anon,
Thank you for your attachments.
Although, it would be interesting to comment on religious buildings; it is prudent to understand that:-
1. Authentic Traditional Feng Shui is not a religion. Everyone be it a layperson or even religious preaches have their own right of view of such things as Feng Shui.
2. I have a strong regard and respect each religion.
And as mentioned above, it would not be prudent to comment even on the `house' which the church sits on.

Dear Anon,
1. Feng Shui is not like the latest US predator remote control plan or using Laplink file transfer. Or it cannot be like the use of PC anywhere or Carbon copy softer. Nor telnet or weblogin.
2. Your earth luck will be determined by where you stay most of the time. In your description, this is in City B.
3. In another example: If one owns two cars, the car that one drives will `influence one'.
An Illustration: Volvo or Skoda?
================================
4. For example, if a person happens to own a Volvo and another car e.g. Skoda; and happens to drive the Volvo at that time. Fortunately for the person, he was lucky as he survived e.g. a serious accident but got away scott free in this car.
Perhaps, in another car, he may not be so lucky.
5. From this illustration, it is very clear that whatever one is `in it' be it a home etc... one's influence comes from or (surrounded) by it.
A miss is as good as a mile
===========================
6. As the saying goes "a miss is as good as a mile".
If a person bought a sweepstake or lottery and had just missed the winning number by even 1 or 2 digits, here, the current ticket cannot benefit the person. He MUST actually have or `own' the sweepstake drawer ticket - to be able to cash it.

Dear Anon,
In pratical Feng Shui, practical because many of us do not personally design or develop the house ourselves.
In traditional Feng Shui, there are lots of houses which follow this strictly. For example, in many of the old houses (and even in Singapore) we can see toilets at North and a Ba Gua shaped balcony at the south (with a pointed roof).
However, since many of us cannot simply with our wimps and fancy change the placement of a toilet bowl and even the shower/entire toilet.
Given this situation, it is preferred that the toilet (at least) shares one external wall. Here, it means that the toilet is no longer at the centrepoint of the house.
What is equally worse-off is the toilet next to the main door.
Otherwise, usually, a toilet at South, not ideal but can still be liveable - especially if the house has good shapes and forms both external and internal.

Dear Anon,
1. If you have the time, please go thru this resource:-
http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-cecilcompass.htm
2. If one is applying Compass School of Feng Shui, if one looks a it carefully, for example if you house or apartment or many others that belong to Period 7 (1984 to 2003), most of such houses / apartments has bad influence at the East and South.
Given this very general idea/information, most of the time, even if we take the door direction `wrongly' - this is very subjective: all the time the base # number plus the yearly and monthly base # will remain the same. The only thing that change is the #mountain #water.
3. Overall, and very generally, most of the time, the answer is nearly almost the same e.g. East and South - inauspicious sectors.

Dear Master Lee,
Need your advice on the
"facing direction" concept.
Anyway, I remember I read a
book some time ago and it
stated
that, the facing direction of
a house is not necessary
be the main door of a house.
It can be a window,
or even the back door -
depends on "what" or "where"
it faces.
For instance, if the back door
faces a busy main road
and the main door faces a wall
or jungle (somehow),
then, the facing direction
will be measured from the
center point to to the back
door. (and not the main door)
How true is this statement?
For my case, I am staying in
HK and most of the people
here stays in flats. The main
door either faces the
neighbour's door
or a wall. But, however,
normally the balcony or
windows of the living room
faces directly to the sea,
another block and the busy
main street.
Does that mean the facing
direction of the house is
measured differently
i.e. not to the main door ?
Secondly, regarding the
sleeping position. When you
say the
sleeping position is West,
does that mean the arrow of
the compass that points right
towards the back of our head
shows WEST ? (after adjusting
the arrow to points to north
?)
i.e.
^
NORTH
-------|o --> WEST
leg head
And at my working place, when
I sit on my chair and
place a compass on my table it
shows WEST.
(after adjusting the relevant
arrow to North)
0 ---> WEST
|_ ____
| | | (my table)
Is "WEST" my work position or
is it "EAST" which is at the
back (just like the sleeping
position ?)
Thank you in advance.

Ken

Dear Michele,
1. There is no conflict here.
2. Based on the Eight House Theory and your Gua (kua) number:-
NE is Excellent
SW is Prosperity
(Equally both Your West = Longevity and
NW = Health are also ok)
3. Both NE and SW are equally good directions for you. So no issue, here.
4. The rationale for this can be found in history:-
5. Please refer to the attached graphic file ne.gig
5.1 In the past, most houses or landed property are of a single level or often occupy one floor.
5.2 Here it is preferred that the main door is located at NE. Since, usually, this opens to the living room area, the rest of the areas such as SW, W and NW are often the location of the bedrooms.
Thus for a single storey house, one can take advange of e.g. main door at NE and locate the bedroom behind the house say at SW.
It is thus preferred that for the breadwinner, the main door and bedroom should be favourable to him/her.
Warmest Regards,
CecilQuoteOn 2/20/2003 4:26:00 PM, Anonymous wrote:

Dear Michele,
1. In general, water is not favorable at the back of the house. However, this is not always true!
2. In fact, what is more important is `Qi' or qi flow in the surrounding and around the home.
Here, pools of water even if they are quite a distance away, often at the `back' can be considered favourable.
3. Depending on the layout of the house, sometimes the possibility could be that:
3.1 To take advantage of (if the creek view) is better, the `facing' or frontage of the house can be oriented to face it.
3.2 Or simply creating a patio or garden facing the creek is another consideration.
It would be better if you can attach a simple sketch of your house vs the creek. As there is a difference in the outline of the creek, its current flow vis-a-vis the house.
Things like whether is the creek straight, how it `connects' or flows around e.g. the back, the relative distance from the house.

Dear Cecil
I have some confusion about
water behind a house being
good or bad. Much of what I
read says that as long as one
cannot see where it leaves the
property, it is okay. But,
water flow direction is
important, only I can't seem
to figure out which direction
is good or bad. Here is the
situation. Our property is 11
acres, bisected at about 2
acres across by a seasonal
creek. We plan to build our
home in the front two acre
section, with a west-facing
front door. The creek
direction flows south to
north, so as you are looking
out the front door, the water
would be flowing behind you
from left to right. Is this
good or bad? Further, I
should say that this creek is
only running in the summer
months through water rights
for irrigation off the river,
which is about 1/2 mile from
our property. The rest of the
year, this creek bed is dry.
It is lined with trees.
Thank you in advance for your
reply. Michele
Question on numbers
in General Help
Posted
Dear Dominique,
If one is using the count based on Flying Star Feng Shui:-
1. The maximum count is Number 9. Or we call this 9 purple.
2. The other way of using these numbers are the 81 interpretations based on the combinations of 9 leading to 81 interpretations.
3. Flying Star numbers is also used in house numbers or apartment house numbers. One can check out the free report: House Number for apartments or Flying Star (Xuan Kong vertical Flying Star charts). Go to http://www.geomancy-online.com
4. Feng Shui is about earth luck.
5. There is another Chinese divinity method called I-Ching or Yi-Ching.
In fact, it was recorded fact that the following discoveries were based on it:
5.1 Computer binary number was invented based on this hexagram.
5.2 Gnome or human map was discovered based on it. Etc...
Even Confucious, the Chinese sage, said that if he had another 50 years, he would like to devote to understanding it.
This link has a flavour of what the Chinese divinity method I-Ching is about:-
http://sg.geomancy.net/resources/fst/fst-iching-intro.htm
It is also known as " The Oracle ".
6. This is another evidence that:-
6.1 If one is interested, it is best to know what is the purpose of the concept; it's strengths and weakness.
6.2 What other methods cannot provide, we should see if other methods can be used. For example, if we do ask the right questions or form them correctly, we can use the I-Ching method to give "an answer".
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
