  1. Dear Anon,


    If we compare this plant's thorn's they are considered as "pussy-cat" thorns that are real soft and nothing quite like those of the cactus or rose etc...


    In terms of Feng Shui for a landed property; plants with thorns are actually quite common place especially at external wall windows or at corners of home to deter thieves from climbing into the home.


    Thus the thorns of the aloe vera seems so mild as it is part of the skin covering the white liquid gel contained within. In my opinion, pose no harm at all.


    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    Dear Cecil,

    Many people said that plants

    such as cactusis not

    auspicious to be placed inside

    the house as it has a lot of

    "poison arrows" that can

    brings bad feng shui. What

    about Aloe Vera? This sort of

    plant has a bit of thorns on

    them but they are really good

    in healing and usually used in

    cosmetics. Will it be

    auspicious to keep them inside

    the house?

    Need your advice.

    Dear Linda,

    For the purpose of applying

    Flying Star Feng Shui, one

    should consider "Where is the

    frontage or the mouth of the

    house is?"Thus often, in many

    circumstances the frontage is

    usually the location where

    there is a road leading

    towards our "frontage" of the

    home. And it is not influenced

    by where the main entrance is.

    For example, if the main

    entrance is not directly at

    the front of the house but at

    the side of the house, this

    may not be the frontage of the

    home.

    Under Flying Star Feng Shui,

    the frontage is like the

    "mouth" of a person where we

    take in "air/oxygen" and talk

    and not where the main

    entrance is.

    Previously, I had written

    clear information of what is

    the "Mouth" of the house. Try

    to do a search for two parts

    of this article in the forum

    to have a better understanding

    of what is meant by the mouth

    of the house and how to

    determine it.

  4. Dear Rose,


    If one is applying Ba Zi to look at how suitable a job is, then it depends on one's birth element and strength.


    Ba Zi will determine e.g. weak or strong earth


    Then with this information, it will come out with:


    Career associated with wealth
    Career associated with power and authority
    Careers that are suitable, but not leading to great wealth


    These are the guidlines that a ba zi analysis can provide on the above.


    Since no two person's ba zi are identical, it thus depends on one's element and strength: strong/weak : metal , water, wood, fire, earth element(s).

    Cecil

  5. Dear Anon,


    Your question reminds one of the state regulations in Singapore. Where, we are only allowed to display the national flag prior to national day and must take it down within a reasonable date after the national day is over e.g. 1 month, later. Unlike in the US, where one can display the a reasonably good condition flag all year round.


    In your question, it would certainly make or sense to celebrate Chinese New Year (CNY) with the decorations. But after 15 days or slightly longer, it would not make much sense to display the decorations -- other than some Chinese continue to hang a red banner "Ang chai" all year round above their door.


    Once CNY is over, it is best to take them down. And anticipate the arriving of the next CNY with jest!

  6. Dear Anon,


    Frankly, there is no hard-and-fast rule, here.


    So long as the object is still in good or reasonable condition, they can always be reused at another location. No issue.

  7. Dear Fenger,


    1. The design of a company logo is based on the Five Elements concept.


    Reference:
    http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-5element.htm


    2. Number of colors for the logo:


    Ideally, based on the Five elements concept, the company logo should have three colors. This applies to the company signage, also


    Here, three means progress. While two (colors) represents stagnation


    3. Often, if the business is in an industry; then the company logo should preferably be designed to suit the industry. But often, it started off by designing a logo that suits the "person" or partnership.


    4. For example, when you mentioned that you are an earth element: one has to be specific:


    If one is a strong earth person, then a harmonious company logo can consists of:


    metal with water with wood


    If one is a weak earth person, then a harmonious company logo can consists of:


    fire -

    Quote
    earth (and when designing a company logo; since these are only two elements, we need three colors. thus the colour of the logo could consists of fire (red, pink) with earth (yellow). Or fire (red) with (yellow and cream) to form 3 colors.

  8. Dear Anon,


    It is true that not all homes at a Cul-de-sac is all that bad.


    I personally know of clients who have done well staying in homes at a cul-de-sac. The most important consideration is where is the home in relation to the "curve" of the cul-de-sac.


    In addition, homes at the cul-de-sac should not have exposed main entrance door (NOT main gate).


    Under Flying Star Feng Shui, homes facing certain good directions are also pretty advantages.


    As your diagram is quite "square" don't have the real prespective of how the full cul-de-sac is in relation to the main entrance door. Hopefully if it is protected, it is still reasonable -- acceptable home as mentioned if flying star FS is applied to the home.

    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    Example 1
    (file name: water-entry-exitpoint-A.gif)


    This file illustraion will show:-


    1. House is facing SOUTH
    2. Water enters this SOUTH facing housedirectly from SOUTH.
    3. Water must not exit out of this house from NW


    (The idea here is tomake sure that under the First Heaven Sequence Trigram, the waterentering a specific trigram must be noted. For example the trigram stands for "HEAVEN". Under the 2nd Heaven Sequenc Trigram, check where the "HEAVEN" trigram lands. It lands on NW. Thus water should notEXIT NW)


    Example 2:-
    (file name: water-entry-exitpoint-B.gif)


    1. Where is the house facing direction? House is facing SE

    2. Where does water e.g. drainage, canal, storm drain enters the home? SW (the trigram here is WIND)


    3. Under the Last Heaven Sequence trigram, SE is WIND. Thus water MUST not exit, here.

    Dear Pam,

    Thanks for the pictures.

    From the looks of the storm

    drain, there should not be an

    issue since it is at the front

    of your home and the only

    visible point is the gap where

    the water flows into it.

    More importantly, this is

    known as the "entry" point

    (even if water does not flow

    into the home.

    Given this senario, do check

    your property for any other

    water exit points.

    For example, please refer to

    this

    url:http://www.geomancy.net/re

    sources/art/art-pakua.htm

    You need to determine the

    facing direction of your home.

    Let's say for example, your

    home is facing SOUTH.

    Please refer to the above

    hyperlink. If so, water entry

    point is "SOUTH or Heaven

    trigram" of the First Heaven

    Sequence.

    Next look at the 2nd template:

    the Last Heaven Sequence

    template. Where is the "Heaven

    trigram"? It is at NW.

    Thus, on your property, water

    should not EXIT out of NW.

    This is a loss of wealth under

    the water Feng Shui classics

    theory.

    Hope you can understand the

    above.

  11. Dear Anon,


    In my opinion, there is really no issue with the red stain.


    Symbollically, instead, one should not use a cracked &/orchipped Hulu.


    Thus what you had mentioned is perfectly OK. Can still be used.

  12. Dear Anon,


    Frankly, I am not too sure how indepth the practitioner had advised your friend.


    Most commonly, both Shapes and Forms as well as Compass School Feng Shui is applied to a home.


    Thus Shapes and Forms Feng Shui does not involve time dimension. So does Eight House Theory of the Compass School Feng Shui.


    Usually, if Flying star Feng Shui is applied, the majority of practitioners would apply firstly the 20 Year Flying Star chart for a given home.


    As the above name suggests it is a " 20 Year Flying Star " of a home which consists of three variables such as Mountain#, Water# and Base #. These three total 3 variables to balance overall for a home.


    And a 20 Year Flying star chart is often "fixed" for a long period unless there is a major renovation and this so happens between periods such as 1984 to 2003 and 2004 to 2023.


    Thus in general, if one had called a Feng Shui practitioner to assess a home, he would have considered the entire home Feng Shui for quite a long period of time.


    However, some FS practitioners purely practise only YEARLY Feng Shui. If so, this "YEAR" practitioner would advise based on the YEAR alone. Such as #5 falls in the NW sector for this year. Thus, he may implement a cure for that sector for that year (he may or may not take into account the 20 Year flying star).


    If so, this type of "drastic" Feng Shui measures or Feng Shui done for that year may need adjustment since next year e.g. the #5 would fly to a sub-sector etc..


    Generally, most of us see a FS practitioner once for a new home and if done correctly, do not really need yearly assessment. The rationale is that if the FS practitioner fees are very high, he would grow in wealth every other year given that more and more have to consult him.


    For the majority, just take note of where the #5 and #2 flies to each year in relation to the 20 Year Flying star chart would be good enough.


    It would be good if the FS practitioner provides one with a hardcopy report on his audit and simply take note of where the yearly star flies in is sufficient for most people.


    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    Hello Master Lee

    I found your website yesterday

    and am thrilled to have done

    so. I have now spent several

    hours browsing and learning

    alot more than I thought I

    would.

    Glad that you found the forum useful


    I have a question which

    pertains to the placement of a

    bed in one ofmy

    bedrooms. I have read the

    information listed at the site

    but cannot determine the best

    placement due to circumstances

    which exist in the room so I

    appreciate your assistance.

    First off the room is located

    in the NW sector of the home

    and it has 2 glass doors which

    do not open into the room but

    open to the outside of the

    room. Which is the best

    wall to place the head of the

    bed since the North wall has

    windows and theS wall is

    actually a area leading to the

    bathroom. Currently the bed is

    facing towards the door

    of the room on the West wall.

    Thanks you for your help.

    Usually, a sketch would help better understand the situation, better.


    However, even when we are trying to apply Feng Shui, the first concern is whether there is any afternoon sun affecting the bedroom. Since this bedroom is at NW, do check whether any of the wall(s) or windows is affected by afternoon (heat if any).


    Placing one's feet facing the bedroom door is also inauspicious in Feng Shui as this is known as the "coffin" position.

    For individuals sleeping in the bedroom, one can study his/her Eight House chart to see which is the best bed-head position. One can use the free Eight House / Best Sleeping position report under geomancy-online.com to further see if one can sleep facing a better direction.


    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil



  14. Dear Cindy,


    When Flying Star Feng Shui is applied i.e. S2; and if your home was born or had a major renovation done between 1984 to 2003, then one should consider the various important numbers:-


    #8 - Current prosperity


    Actually, the mountain star MS#8 is directly at South while WS#8 is at the SW sector. In some homes, the gate is on the side of the home and often the front could benefit (instead) with a wall and a water postion could be determined to see if it can be at SW sector.


    #7 - Past prosperity but #7 became nasty in 2004. Because of the double #7's at the back of the home; if the home continues to remain as a Period 7 home, than, it would benefit from a water feature at the back of the home to neutralise the double 7's. Otherwise, good to see if the home can be changed to a Period 8 home.


    Thus, if we are applying Flying Star Feng Shui, some concepts relating to Shapes and Forms may not be appropriate. This is because Shapes and Forms DOES NOT consider time dimension in Feng Shui. Previously a double #7 is considered favourable prior to 2004, and a solid backing at the home was advantages at that time, but now, one has to deal with this two nasty #7's. One way is that since #7's are weak metal x2, water element is the best "cure" to draw out metal.


    Some other charts like NW2 and NW3 or say SE1 (Period 7) are Peral Sting charts that should take advantage of a "mountain" at the frontage and "water" at the back of the home. Again, this will not match what you had mentioned below.

    Cecil

  16. Dear Sophia,


    Although the altar looks crowded, I personally find that the arrangement is still OK. If you still want to retain the extra Guan Yin, it is OK.


    The ruffled extra prayer table, looks like there is an evidence of a lion dance prior to taking the photo.

    In some of the past forum

  18. Dear Sophia,


    Under Flying Star Feng Shui, looks like the new location is also considered as the facing direction of the home: thus often a non-issue.


    In some of the past forum messages, there are some who "tier" their house numbers to form something like an "UP" direction.


    For example:-


    3
    2
    1


    Hopefully one can see that the numbers "rise-upwards" symbolic of progress.


    The above is not compulsory. But this is how some people place their house numbers.


    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

  19. Dear Anon,

     

    1. Feng Shui encompasses various aspects, including the environment, the site, and the interior of the home.

    2. All of the aforementioned factors have an impact on Feng Shui.

    3. In my view, there is no problem with airing shirts and pants, especially if they are not excessively soiled. This is a common practice in the real world.

    4. Given that not all of us live in an ideal environment, as long as a room is adequately maintained, I personally do not see this as an issue.

    5. Many of us have read Feng Shui books that advise against placing a TV set facing the bed, as it is considered inauspicious. The rationale is that when one sleeps, the spirit may see its reflection on the TV screen and be startled.

    6. However, what if the spirit is an extrovert and wishes to view itself before roaming?

    7. Nowadays, modern TV sets have minimal reflection. For instance, it is difficult to see one's reflection in a matte black LED monitor screen such as an IBM PC.

    8. Another consideration is the tolerance level of individuals. Some can handle spicy food, while others cannot. Similarly, some can sleep comfortably in a room surrounded by mirrors, while others cannot. People also have varying stress tolerance levels.

    9. We have a relatively short time on this earth and should be able to enjoy our environment and live comfortably without being restricted by unnecessary limitations. Otherwise, we become slaves to our environment.

     

     

    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    Dear Master Cecil,

    Is it auspicious to have

    clothes hanger being fixed

    right behind the door? I've

    seen quite a lot of people

    hanging their shirts,

    pants...etc behind the door of

    their bedroom. Will there be

    any feng shui issue for the

    "good chi" to flow in and out

    of the bedroom?

    Please advice. Thanks alot in

    advance.





     


  20. Dear Anon,


    In the living room area, see if a water feature can be activated here to drown or dissolve double #7's.


    It is still possible to fly to Period 8, but this can be a slower process i.e. repainting the entire ceiling at one go, having celebrations at home etc...


    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

  21. Dear Sophia,


    To clarify, what I mentioned is that they can share the same altar table, but separated or segmented.


    The elephant deity if it is immediately next to Guan Yin, should be lower height (if there is a stand) than Guan Yin sitting on her lotus leaf flower.

    Dear Master Cecil Lee

    I'm abit confused as you

    mentioned the elephant deity

    is of Indian origin and should

    be placed belowGuan Yin

    or buddha figurine. Is it what

    you mean that I can place the

    Elephant deity together with

    the Buddha/Guan Yin altar

    tableor to place

    the elephant deity another

    altar table.

    Thank you

  22. Dear Sophia,


    Feng Shui is about Earth Luck. But most of the time Human Luck is equally important.


    Human luck often relates to family ties / family bonding / relationships and yes, hobbies.


    Since this is your husband's past-time or hobby, like many others, it is perfectly all right to collect them as this brings a good sense of feeling for him. Is also indirectly good for the family.


    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    figurines eg. Fu Lu Sau,

    Smiling buddha, cats (Japanese

    cat maneki neko/with the paws

    andeight mortal faires.

    Encourage him to give away

    some of it as there

    isn'tany space to

    display in the display cabinet

    card board. Is it alright for

  23. Dear Anon,


    In the past, the most common is the wood Hulu or original wood dried ones.


    However, in modern times (last few years) it is also common to find brass (gold looking) ones which represent the metal element.


    These two are if one wants to consider -- the two most "authentic" ones because of the following:-


    1. It is often used or placed at locations with #2 or #5. Both are strong earth element.


    2. Thus under the Five elements concept:

    ref: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-5element.htm


    2.1 Under the productive cycle, metal destroys earth. Thus, many of those used to at #5 or #2 are made of metal such as brass / copper which resembles gold colour.


    2.2 Under the destructive cycle, wood destroys or control earth.


    Thus, both wood (real wood, wood tone, brown or green) are considered under Para 2.2. And under Para 2.1, metal is the first choice element.


    Henry Ford saying goes " You can have any color, but it must be black".


    Thus, it can be any hulu but it must either be metal or wood.


    The size really does not matter.


    Anything else e.g. crystal hulu, black, purple, red etc... should not be used as a "cure" unless it's color fits the sector under the flying star MS#, WS# and #Base numbers.


    Otherwise, it is best to stick with either "metal (gold)" or "wood".


    For a hobbist, there is no issue buying a whole collection of hulus for display mainly to enrich the seller of such products i.e. line his/her pocket.


    Warmest Regards,
    Cecil

    Dear Master Cecil,

    I noticed there has been a lot

    of crystal Wu Lou that comes

    in various colors,sizes

    and other combinations. I've

    seen white, black, green, blue

    and even clear crystal Wu Lou

    selling at some of those

    shops. Are there any

    significance as to what kind

    of color and size that one

    should buy? There's also

    crystal Wu Lou that comes with

    other combinations such as

    those with ancient coins as

    well.

    Has it got to do with our Kua

    number when choosing the

    color, size and

    combination?

    Need your professional advice

    on this.
