Hi Master,
Previously, I have asked about
MS stars with 2,5, here I
would like ask another 2 Qs.
Q1: Sector with MS star 2,5
should be bestkept
"non-moving". What happen if I
have my air-cond ledge in this
area? (Considering the
rotating fans of the air-cond
always moving, will it be
bad?)This is a good question. Given that most of us turn on the air-con, realistically, there is not much choice, here. The most sensible is to avoid further issues such as hanging of windchimes etc...
Q2: If the MS star 2,5 sector
falls in an extendedNW
area which have strong metal,
will it be a "natural" cure?No, although NW is an area belonging to the strong metal, what is more important is the base # of the flying star. One therefore should not just look at NW but rather the importance of the balance of the MS # with WS# with the Base #
For example, it would be excellent if the base is #6 since this is strong metal.
In another example, it would be detrimental if the base star is #9. Since 9 represents fire element and fire would further inflame or fuel #2 or #5 (both earth elements).
Thus, it is best to watch (out) for the base # in relation to the Five elements concept.
In another example, if base = #1, this is acceptable since 1 = water and can partially drown earth elements (#2 or #5).
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

If one is applying Flying star Feng Shui, (without being at location to access the qi); but from your description, looks more like the "mouth" of the home comes from the facing of the pool/club-house rather than the lift landing area.
Therefore, based on the preliminary information, tapping the Flying Star numbers based on the facing of the pool/club-house would be the best choice.
However, are there any other facing besides the pool or the main entrance door? Usually, most condos have three "openings" or locations where either there is the main door, windows facing one side and another side. So far, the only buildings that have two sides with windows/doors are terrace homes that are sandwiched together (other than the corner unit of a terrace house).

Hi
I just move into a new

believe the main "entrance" of
the house is the porch doors
opening to the road as that's
where you can the most
activity and the most light.
The porch doors open into a
hallway with rooms on one side
and the toilet and bathroom on
the other side. At the end of
the hallway is my room.Yes, for the purpose of doing a Flying star analysis, the porch door (area) should often be considered as the "mouth" of the home instead of the side - main entrance.
Now I
have a mirror on my door. Is
that good? Should I remove
it?As a test, the mirror should best avoid facing any of the proch door(s) directly. If so, it can be a double-edged sword since qi can inadvertently be deflected out of the home.
If however, the mirror does not face the door directly, this is still OK.

Dear Anon,
In my opinion both cases you had mentioned below are non-issues especially for the fire hydrant. As often, it is quite low and does not pose any "poison-arrow" issues.
In fact, from a non-Feng Shui point of view, this is often a blessing in disguise as it is right in-front of one's home
As for the electricity sub-station, there is also no issue since it is quite a distance away. And often, even if one lives close to one, there is no known bad effects from it.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Emily,
Given that the mountain star is #8, water is not a good idea here, since firstly water at an auspicious MS#8 can drown or "drop the mountain into a hole(water)" thus making it inauspicious.
If you have a landed property or if your is a landed property, then landscaping with rock garden would be favourable to further enhance the mountain star #8. In addition, neutralise the #6 - strong metal water star. This is provided the base star is also considered.
Here, you have not mentioned what is the base star number. As it should be considered together with the MS and WS.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Chee Kiong,
Actually, the clue has to do with the "strength" of your element.
For example, there is a difference between a "weak" fire person and a "strong" fire person.
Under the Five elements concept; the idea is that if one is weak, one should increase one's element. While on the other hand if one is strong, one should try to decrease it. Here, in both instances, what we try to do is to become "balanced" i.e. a "balanced" fire element that is neither too weak or too strong.
In your case, since you are a strong fire person, water is favourable to you as it will help to reduce the strong fire. The opposite is true for a weak fire person. Water will further help to extinguish his /her element.
Try to understand the above and hope it makes sense for you.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Anon,
To be honest, there is very little information to go on to assess whether it is OK to place the fridge close to the main door entrance.
Usually, in a compact kitchen, often a fridge do happen to face a stove. This is especially acceptable if the kitchen is located in the south of the home. It would be best to avoid such a situation i.e. stove face a water position (in the north or if the kitchen is at the north).
See if the new location feels more comfortable to both of you or the earlier location.

Dear Alvin,
There are two major considerations, here.
Firstly, as you have mentioned: that you are a weak fire person. Therefore, on a hobby level, it is not that advisable to rear fishes given that water can inadvertenly extinguish your weak fire element.
However, another major consideration is the "luck" factor of the home.
Here, each of us is an individual with our own distinctive date and time of birth. Equally, each home has it's date of birth.
Senario ONE
1. The fish tank was placed correctly at the water wealth sector. For example sectors that may have water star #8 (present water wealth location - under Flying star Feng Shui) and sectors like #6 where there is a strong metal location etc...
2. Even if one is a weak fire person, but has correctly placed a water feature (be it a fish tank or a water fountain correctly) either : To enhance wealth or to neutralise sha qi.
3. To enhance, I have given a specific under Para 1. Sometimes, a location may have sha qi or a fishtank had been used to correct a poison arrow suchas a lamp post slicing towards the window of a home. And a water feature has been placedfor this purpose.
Senario TWO
4.The fish tank was placed at a wrong location. Such as a mountain wealth location. Here, "water inadvertenly drowns themountain." Ora water position has been wrongly placed at a#9 mountain wealth location. Where 9 = future prosperity. And 9is the fireelement. Water at this sector can drown the "future wealth prosperity".
5. In another senario, where there is a mountain star #8 (current wealth location - pian cai or relationship or lottery luck sector, water again could wrongly drown this luck!
Therefore, from the above two senarios that:
ONE:A water position placed correctly within a homecan boost one's wealth without MAJOR regard to whether one is a weak fire or strong water etc...
TWO: A water position placed wrongly in the home can be a double edged sword: It is already not auspicious for aweak fire person.Yet, one further AGGREVATE the situation by making it worse by "destroying" the home's wealthalso. Like they say, here: Everything went wrongly for me! I am in a vicious cycle of poverty and never seemed getting out of it!
The above two senarios show that it can go "both ways"!

Dear Anon,
Frankly, traditional Schools of Feng Shui specifically use two major schools:
1. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui
2. Compass School: The Eight House (Ba Cai) or The Flying Star Feng Shui
Thus fixed template "Feng Shui" or adapting the Eight Aspirations or Life Aspriations concept of the Eight Trigrams is common today. Although it looks very easy to apply, it is considered too general by Traditional Schools of Geomancy or Feng Shui.
In addition to the above, the Ba Zi or Pillars of Destiny of individuals are also used by Authentic Traditional Schools.
It all boils down to another major concept: known as "The lowest common denominator or LCM" or everything revolves around the Five Elements concept.
The Five elements concept is thus like a gel that holds all the major theories of authentic traditional Feng Shui together.
If you really want to apply proper Feng Shui, it is best not to use the "fixed template" model of e.g. Career = North; Romance = SW etc....

Dear Anon,
For the bedroom, it would be best to avoid any water scenery painting or poster in the bedroom.
Otherwise, often, other types of painting or poster has to be looked at individually.

Dear Tim,
Actually, there can be some "misunderstanding", here with regards to the statement: "qi would enter the house through the main door".
Frankly, this is just a simplistic explanation to quantify that qi exists.
However, qi can enter a home from any directions if there are any openings be it a window, the backdoor or any crevice or holes or any openings - vents in any home.
For the purpose of applying Flying Star Feng Shui, often the "frontage" of a home is located. And for the purpose of Flying Star Feng Shui, once this "frontage" or mouth is determined, it can be used to plot the flying star chart to determine where the best qi to e.g. place a water position etc...
Quoteif the depth from the main
door to the direct wall is
deep enough.Apologies, but frankly, not sure what type of theory this is? This is the first time I hear of "thinning a wall to enhance qi. In this case, might as well not have a solid home. But perhaps one made entirely of cardboard box?
No offence, but in my opinion, this is a wrong way to work on "enhancing qi".
From what I read, you mentioned the need for a "remedy". But in the first place, what is there to remedy if the door is a perfectly normal set of entrance.
It is not good to place a mirror wrongly i.e. such as facing the main door directly.
Even if it is good Feng Shui in the first place, in commonsense approach to Feng Shui or purely on commonsense; for example, if we are in deep thoughts and the moment we open the main door and immediately see a shadow of a person, some of us may get a "shock!" thinking that someone else is at the home.

Dear Hung,
If one applies the Compass School of Feng Shui: Eight House (Ba zai) and/or Flying Star Feng Shui the basis of this School has to do with the magnetic compass and not geographical compass.
Thus, for any home / office /building /site investigated via the Compass School of Feng Shui, a magnetic compass has to be used to determine the magnetic north and other cardinal points etc...
For the purpose of evaluating any site / building or interior, one has to determine the "center-of-gravity" or the centrepoint of say the layout plan of the interior.
Quotethe magnetic north, or is
north the side of the area
with the door?Thus, from the centrepoint; if one wants to know, perhaps, where the kitchen is; and if it happens to be at the east compass direction, then in relation to the layout plan; the kitchen is said to be at the "east" compass direction of the home. On this basis, we try to relate the compass direction e.g. if the living room is in the SW, then we say that the living room is in the South-West direction.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Anon,
Frankly, in the past most of the "Feng Shui" of a shopping complex is done-up either based on intuition or via Feng Shui advice on the construction i.e. type of external design of say a shopping complex.
Here, if a geomacer is tasked the job, he will do an environmental scanning of the surrrounding buildings andadvise on the type of structure. For example, if the neighbourhood is made up of largely of earth buildings or buildings that are squarish or rectangular in shape, a geomancer may advise that the owner build a building is in the form of a wood element e.g. tall structure e.g. like a trunk.
For example, for those in Singapore, good examples are:
1. BANKS: DBS (Development Bank of Singapore) LTD vs UNITED OVERSEAS BANK (UOB)
The HQ of DBS bank or Shentonway Tower 1 and 2 is in the shape of a rectangular type of building or known as earth element building.
UOB's HQ building is in the form of a tree or wood element.
Imagine the roots of a tree crushing into the soil or earth.2. The Merriot Hotel (formerly Tangs) at Scotts vs the neighbourhood
Most of the surrounding buildings near to this landmark is of the earth element type e.g. Wisma Atria and other buildings nearby resemble earth structures.
The above is to illustrate that more importantly, the external environment is the most crucial for Feng Shui. Such as the frontage, water positions outside of or within the complex (office or shops).
3. In the past, it is very rare for retail outlets to have water positions SIMPLY because of the limited real-estate space to sell! And, most of the time, water position within this retail space may not be able to tap on good feng shui because that it is simply too small.
4. Nowadays, here: the idea is "YOU ASK, YOU GET" type of responses.
5. In the past, when buildings are constructed, some developers consult geomancers. Nowadays, even small retail shops get geomancers. And because there is not much else to do, these geomancers would thus recomend fish tank etc.. since, there is relatviely nothing much more (visible) or invisible that can be said to be "Feng Shui".
6. The morale of the story is that what is more important is the location, location and location PLUS business model.
So, do you think placing a fish tank in a retail will work?

Dear Anon,
In my opinon, the best units are at #20 or #23.
Units that are facing the highway such as #22, #30 etc... can be quite noisy and parts of their balcony/bedrooms is affected by the afternoon sun especially for higher floors.
The unit that you are considering is OK especially for high floors since there is a very auspicious double 8 at the balcony area(facing direction).And in fact, what better scope is that there is aswimming pooljust outside of it.
Furthermore, because the unit is South-Northdirection, most of the unit(s)will not be affected by the afternoon sun. Only the very high floors will be affected (e.g. master bedroom)i.e. may be affected by the afternoon heat.
This apartment can be auspicious especially for East group breadwinner.
Other than Feng Shui point of view, what sets this leasehold condo apart is that it is a 2 to 3 minutes walk to the bus interchange and the MRT /LRT. And the nearby LOT1 shopping complex/banks. This is not Feng Shui, but truly one of the "gems" of staying in this condo. In addition, overall, the quality of build by the developer MCL for most of the units there are quite well built. For example, no where-else can one find a very solid balcony sliding doors. Good quality, indeed. Other than the little imperfections of some units.
If I have stayed in Choa Chu Kang area, would certainly consider some of the units, here.

because the house is facing
more to North and little bit

ask :
1) Is this house
consider facing north?One has to really use a compass or a luopan to get the exact Flying star direction. For example, North 2 = 352.5 to 7.4 degrees, East 1 = 67.5 to 82.4 degrees. Somewhere inbetween lies the NorthEast quardrant. For example NE1 = 22.5 to 37.4 degrees.
2) The level of the right
house is higher (if I see from

this mean that the white tiger

But I also understand
thatgreendragon is

ground is east, does this mean
thatgreen dragon is on
theright and white tiger
is on the left. I am a bit
confusedShapes and forms is easy to understand but difficult to apply. The green dragon or white tiger can also mean further away not just so close-by!

Dear Niteka,
Since you are a weak fire person, in terms of the 5 elements concept: wood element is your support element.
And one way of looking at acting is that it belongs to the water element. Thus in terms of the 5 elements concept, water element is your "Power and Authority" career.
Or a career that brings you "power and authority". However, since you are a weak fire person, you have to be supported by wood element.
Thus, if I look at it this way: wood is about growth or constant upgrading of skills or honeing of the skill set for acting; a water career such as acting thus is not that bad; since on a personal level, I am sure, you have have the opportunity to "grow" your talents.
However, usually, for a weak fire person, one would thus perhaps at a later stage in life, more contented with a career associated with wood element.

Dear Anon,
The Flying star apartment report is based on the idea that each floor or storey has a different qi flow. And this Flying Star analysis is known as "Vertical Flying Star Feng Shui".
However, it has to be used in conjunction with "horizontal Flying star Feng Shui" or the regular 20 Year Flying Star analysis.
Since you now see him more often, try to make the opportunity to be togetherness.

Dear Fran,
At a location which you had described i.e. mountain #8 with water #8, then this is known as a double #8. And under Period 8, this is considered an auspicious combination:
1. Virtual water
In certain situations, for one reason or another, some may not be able to activate water at this specific location. For example, if this is the front door and on the exterior, it could be a lobby shared with other subsidiary proprietors or tenants.
Here, since the main entrance is at the frontage with double #8's no real water - is acceptable.
2. If one stays in a landed property, one can have a pond, as you had mentioned, right in front of the house.
Ideally, the water feature should be (if one stands inside the house facing out: 1. directly outside the main door or on the left side). Since water at the right side is not good i.e. may lead to "flower of romance" or illicit affairs by either party.

Dear Anon,
From your description, looks like the back of your house is instead the "frontage" of it.
As under Flying star Feng Shui, what matters is the "mouth" of the house orwhat you have describe best fits the description of the seaview as the frontage.

Dear Eli,
Yes, I do concur with you that often artificial flowers do really make a place look nice - without the hassle and costs of frequently changing real (dying flowers).
In fact, many will agree that artificial flowers especially single colour or multi-coloured ones often uplift us or make us feel good - factor.
I believe, many Feng Shui authors also did mentioned that artificial flowers or plants to them are just as good for the "feel-good" factor. Which is very important for many of us.
The only bad name about real flowers is where in Singapore, there are those who approach flower shops to purchase a reef of dead flowers to sent to their ex-lovers or ex-husbands: to spite them! This kind of behaviour is bad.
In addition, for the unromantic, it is never a good idea (at all) to give or buy your loved ones artificial flowers e.g during valentine's day! Else, that will be the last valentine with that specific person.
So actually, do go ahead with having them. But once a while either rinse or wash them or when they do get real old, discard and buy new ones!
Warmest Regards,

If we are writing a text book for school children, then this is considered as "wood" or growth. Since it can help the child grow (his mind).
If we are writinga scientific article, it can also be considered growth (wood element).
But if we are writing articles on "hate"; or lawyers writing to "sue" someone or a letter from a bank asking to collect money etc.. then, this may involve "fire element".
If one writes a song, or pen it down on paper, than, it would seem to be like "water element" since music is fluid....
QuoteAnyway, under the
"wood"-related careers
category, i see "electronics",
"scientific instruments" and
"new technology"... is this
right?Yes, generally, the industry is considered "wood element" But, one can always work in an electronics company but say work as a Human resource person or Accounting.
Well... under my report is
"suitable favourable career"
that neither belong to my
wealth/power careers... where
does it come from? And what
does it mean when it says that
"it is more beneficial for you
if you are unable to find a
suitable Career with Wealth or
Career with Power and
Authority"?This means to say that for example:-
If one is a strong earth person:-
His career with wealth is associated with Water element.
His career with power and authority is associated with Wood.However, if he or she is not in any of these careers, then a suitable but career not leading to wealth is the Metal element.
Each of us, under the Five elements concept has:
1. career associated with wealth
2. career with power and authority
3. a career that can help our element. For example, if one is a strong earth person, a metal career can help to reduce this strong earth.QuoteAlso...as i'm a strong metal
person, should i avoid careers
with metal or should i jump
into a career with my own
element in it -- like a fish
takes to water?For careers, one has to make a distinction between:
1. Career in a specific Industry
2. Career in a specialised field.Thus, your career with wealth has to do with wood element. Thus, most importantly, under Para 2, it is said that it is best to have a career that suits our "specialised" field - as the first priority over the specific industry.
For example, one can still say, work in a bank but is involved in new technology development for this industry.
More importantly, also is the "score" in our chart.
For example: Career with Wealth:-
=======================Earned wealth Water Total = 3
Unexpected wealth Water Total = 3Career with Power and Authority:-
+++++++++++++++++++++++Authority WoodTotal = 0
Determination WoodTotal = 1In the above example, the above person is better off, working in "Water element" as he/she has a better success rate due to higher numbers.

The Donts of bed placement in
the bedroom are
a) Bed with feet facing door
(cofin position)One option, here is that if there is space, one could place a low linen type of cupboard. Or those plastic type of cupboard that has 3 or four drawers at the bed leg area. Alternatively, somekind of a towel placed on the bed leg-area so that the legs are not visible when seen from outside the bedroom.
The other alternative is sleep with the door closed. But often, old people, may not like this as they prefer to door to be opened for better ventilation.
b) Bed with feet facing window
(ditto)
This is not so bad if in particular, there is a low wall just below the window. It would not be good if the entire window is clear glass from top to the bottom - like some new condos.A proper set of curtains, can help, here.
I must truly say, you are truly a very good and concerned daughter-in-law!

Dear Ann,
For some Chinese, they would consider using the Ba Gua mirror.
However, even if one places a potted plant as what you had mentioned, unfortunately, the staircase is still in full view thus such a remedy may not work properly.
Frankly, when confronted with such an issue, it is very difficult to resolve it since the underlining thing is "if it cannot be seen, it no longer becomes a threat" cannot be fulfilled.
Warmest Regards,
