Dear David,
Yesterday, I posted a reply to a question on house hunting i.e. a user is interested in a second floor or storey unit.
From a Feng Shui point of view, one should consider if there are any "threats" if any to the unit.
The threats could be simple things like a landscaped garden tall thin trees like palm tree(s),or a garden lamp post slicing into any of thebalcony, bedroom windows,bedroom balcony sliding windows.
Therefore, the greatest threat would come from these and sometimes even walk-ways that has a shelter. Especially if the roofof the shelteror even a club-house roof - could sometimes slice lower floors.
Therefore, the major threatscomesgenerally, from such directions.
Usually in a condo i.e. facing pool, it isinevitable thatwe would have to face another block. Usually,this is quite common.
Besides this, each facing directionor main door or facing or sitting direction for each unitcan be different.And thus, feng shui influences such factors.
Other issues (usually non-Feng Shui) could be:
1. white ants or termites. Often, after a few years,without proper care some homes may be affected by termites especially lower floor areas.
2. In Singapore, often developers give a warrantly for1 or 2 to some 5 years on termites. But, nowadays, they do not give warrantly to "flying termites" those thatliterally fly into our homes and eat up our wood furniture etc...
3. Besides this, especially if one's home is facing a pool, often if we do not draw curtain or blinds, our home may "light up" like a christmas tree andothersiders can simply peer into our home.
4. Overall, there are few developments in Singapore that are 4 or 5 storey high. For example, Seletaris condo (freehold) is one good example where there are many ground floor units with their own Personal enclosed space or P.E.S.
5. Even, yesterday's reply i.e. many high rise apartments such as Ballota Park also do have ground floor units.
6. But, again, not from a Feng Shui perspective, in Singapore, it is common to find, upper floor neighbours throwing down cigarette butts and ashes and other "u.f.o" un-indentified-flying objects".
Actually, if one chose a good development, a ground floor unit, is the next best thing to living in a landed property.
This year, so far, even developments like The Sterling condo, has units that have PES, still available - because these overlook e.g.the entrance to the car park etc...
In Singapore, areas to be extra careful of termites are: Pasir Ris area, St Michael's estate / whampoa, Bedok reservoir etc.... There are lots, lots more areas infested with termites especially if one lives very close-by to a canal.
Warmest Regards,

Hello Cecil,
What do we need to look out
for when buying a condo unit
that is at ground floor facing
the pool with patio ? The unit
also face another tower which
is 20 storey but the unit
itself has another 6 floor
above it. Will there be a
fengshui issue staying at
ground floor ? Thanks

Dear Ronald,
Under Feng Shui, one possibility is based on symbolism i.e. especially in many instances where the door knobs "meet each other".
Simply place a red dot e.g. at the key hole area on each door.
Here, symbolically, when one close each door, "one could thus see "eye-to-eye" with each other.

Dear Anon,
Currently, the best units atGardens are those facing the main gate (pool) such as Blocks 3 or 7. These blocks are not affected by the temple. For example, the units under these blocks (facing Sin Ming Walk) are NE facing and very auspicious under current Flying star.
If possible, avoid Block 1. And Block 9 (Winter) because of the afternoon sun.

25 February 2004Respected Sir,
Thank you a lot for this informative forum through which I have gained knowledge of trying to balance the elements in sector through flying star fengshui.
I was fearful of flying of stars to period 8 but going through your forum eased my worry.

Dear Michelle,
1. Yes, looks like both units are affected by the afternoon sun.
2. Generally, usually it is the physical look at the prison that makes some uncomfortable. For example, the ballota park condo, where, the access road to/out ofthis condo is facing the prison "gate", even to the extent that I have clients asked me whether it is acceptable to have a prison so close-by.
3. To be truly honest, this is not a major issue. However, it is wise to choose an apartment that does not have a view of the prison. For the simple reason that future re-sale of this apartment can be pretty bad or no takers at all.
4. Otherwise, living close-by to a prison is of no issue.
5. For lower units, one has to extra careful of the landscaping of the condo. There are instances where palm tree(s) are planted such that when one looks out of the balcony or bedroom(s) facing it, there should preferably not be 3 palm trees.
6. As this is symbolic of holding three joss-sticks as those found giving respect to the dead - bad luck, here.
6. It is often very difficult to get the developer or Management corporation to remove it. The only last resort (I do not want to seem cruel is) to buy a bottle of bleach, and poison one of the trees.
7. Another cruel method but has severe repurcussions is to attach termites to these trees! (Joke).
8. Generally, these are my comments (without looking into the specific layout plan nor flying star chart of the specific home).
Warmest Regards,

Dear Pam,
1. Given the unique nature of each home, it is inaccurate to generalize that all foreclosure homes have bad Feng Shui.
2. Unfortunately, business problems may not always be directly related to the Feng Shui of a home. Issues such as a flawed business model, poor marketing, or planning can also contribute.
3. Therefore, it is not always the case that foreclosure homes are the root cause of an individual's problems.
4. When dealing with a previously foreclosed home, it may be necessary to apply Feng Shui remedies more assertively to address any negative energy.
5. Even in homes that have not been foreclosed, it is important to check for significant structural issues that could impact Feng Shui.
6. Personal luck periods and the presence of multiple major leaks in a home can often lead to problems, based on my observations.
7. Some common major leaks include sloping land, unfavorable toilet locations, and negative Flying stars during qi transitions.
8. Pay attention to the centerpoint of the home, as the presence of certain elements like a staircase or toilet can have negative effects.
9. Additionally, it is essential for the Feng Shui of a home to align with the Ba Zi of the occupants to avoid financial distress caused by uncorrected major leaks.

Dear Ovidiu,
Holistic Feng Shui takes into account many various factors which also includes the external environment.
Primarily, a Feng Shui practitioner should use various tools or techniques to access the home.
For example, often, most of us think that the most critical factor is the interior 4 walls of the home-itself.
But a proper Feng Shui audit would include:-
External environment assessment using Shapes and Forms Feng Shui:
The landscape and the site
The site and the building or home
Here, both Shapes and Forms and Compass Schools: Eight House and Flying star is used.Thus, it would generally be naive for us to come to a complete conclusion after only using the Eight House theory. The above and other factors need to be taken into consideration.
Other things include: checking for "leaks" in a home e.g. a main entrance door open directly to the balcony or opening etc...

Dear CJ,
Frankly, there is no right or wrong answers, here.
On a macro level, often, a developer or owner of the entire building may have it checked. Thus, a macro level Feng Shui is done e.g. the facing direction of the complex. Especially for landscaping of the surrounding land area of the complex e.g. water feature, landscaped rock / formation.
In many instances, if one is merely a tenant, and hires a FS practitioner, then often, a FS practitioner may perform a micro level Flying star analysis instead of just taking the facing direction of the entire building.

I have some doubts as to the
facing direction of an office
unit within a building. While
it's logical to use the facing
direction of the office unit
to study the Flying Star FS,
but some books which I read
suggest using the facing
direction of the building. Out
office is located at the 8
floor.
It would be easy if the facing
directions are the same for
office unit and the building.
However, that's not the case
in most instances. What shall
we do given such scenario?
Which facing direction shall
we use?

Dear Michelle,
Since you had mentioned that although the roof was put in Dec 2003, however, since the internal organs of the home have yet to be ready by then i.e. ready in 2004, it would be best to use the Period 8 chart. As you have also not even moved-in yet.

Dear Pam,
1. In my opinion, what you had mentioned is not exactly true in all situations.
2. Since no two situations (or homes) are exactly the same, therefore, an appropriate term should be " It depends". This is also called situational approach towards reviewing each homes.
3. For example, I know of many homes in a cul-de-sac that has been properly "configured". For example, even if it is at a cul-de-sac, the frontage is usually a long driveway towards the "inner" part i.e. the main entrance or home is right "inside" this cul-de-sac.
4. In the past, I had posted a sample case study of a home at the cul-de-sac - somewhere close to Woo Mun Chew Road, Siglap, Singapore.
5. It is always best never to put a number behind each significance eg. T junction = 1 etc...
6. Becareful! This seems to be very common such as all Chinese are Yellow (chicken) or all blacks are.....
7. For example, I know of many cases in the educational field: for example, this boy at age 14 frequently fails his English paper. But one cannot simply place him last all his life! His boy later, works hard, and came out tops later in life!

Dear Pam,
Please refer to my previous message on this.
Yes, Feng Shui does not know which is the facing direction. But rather, as mentioned in the earlier message, suppose if the living room or areas of activity are concentrated here, or there is a patio opened out from the living or even family room.
These sort of activities, that make it pronounced that the home is facing the back. And where imagine, once we close the main entrance door, literally, we are not over looking this part of the home. But, concentrate our family activites at the "back".
Usually, this should be planned inadvance when developing the home. But once developed and if happens that the living room etc.. are not placed here, than no-need to talk about it anymore.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Pam,
Please see below:-
Generally, based on your description - i.e. comparision between these two homes, I would say your description of the gold-dust or the second home seems better:-

Dear Master Lee:
Thank you so much for your
quick response to my previous
question.
We're back to house hunting
again. My realtor showed
us two houses today:
1) Woodrose house:
this house sits on a parallel
street leading toa
cul-de-sac so I guess it's not
affected by the
cul-de-sac. It backs to
open space (which we
like),but it sits at the
bottom ofa
smallhill, and its back
slopedUPWARD so the
builder had to build a little
retaining wall in the backyard
to keep water from heavy
rainabove the
hillto flood the
backyard. This house
faces Southwest. My
husband is concerned that if
the rain is heavy, it might
get into the basement.
Is this sloping upward in the
back good or bad feng shui?Usually, in Feng Shui, a home with a backing like this is good. But, based on commonsense approach to Feng Shui, like you had mentioned, heavy rain is a major concern for this specific home.
Under commonsense approach to Feng Shui, also, this is quite rare, but -- remotely, if something do go wrong such as a land slide, then, such a home is not ideal. Land slide may never happen here, but there is always a remote possibility that cannot be discounted.
Quote2) Gold-dust
house: this house is on
a through street (vs.
dead-end).This seemsgood.
My husband
likes this house because it
backs to large open space with
panoramic view of the rocky
mountains(therefore, its
view is better than the
woodrose house).Most likely, if you have a patio or if your living room or family rooms are located here, this could actually be the frontage of the home.
That is to say, when one drive-up to the main entrance, this could literally become the back of the home.
However, it slightly
slopedDOWNWARD in the
back with a walkout
basement. This house
faces South.slightly sloping slope is not a major issue.
Under the water classics, Feng Shui, it is equally important to find out where is the drainage of the property. If possible, drains existing the home (at the back or at this area) should not be seen i.e. water drainage at the point where it leaves the property should not be seen e.g. covered up at that point.
My
husband thinks that we will
not have to worry about water
coming into the basement with
the sloping down in the back,
but I told him it'salso
bad feng shui.
Woulda 6 foot high
retainingfencein
the backyard neutralize the
badness of the down slope?
As mentioned above, if this side becomes the frontage of the home, a high retaining wall or fence is not necessary if it blocks the view or air coming into the property.But, do take note that if the property is "pretty" exposed e.g. on a hill with barren land or not trees (a distance away) to shade this side of the home, I am not sure how much direct wind that is blowing to the property.
Another sha qi or not favourable aspect of a home is to make sure that it is not exposed to elements - or "gale force" or strong winds. The wind coming to the property should in most cases, be "gentle type" as opposed to continous strong winds. Hope, you can understand what I mean, here.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Danny,
1. The key to applying Flying star Feng Shui is to see where is the "mouth" of the house. Or the location where there is e.g. most light coming into the home. Or if one has a habit of often opening the main door, sometimes, this can be the facing direction, also.
QuoteAs I learnt from some
articles(8mansion) I read,
Northeast (& also
southwest) is unfavorable
facing for both of us. Is it
correct to say that facing of
the house determine by the
door?
If your unit is on a high floor and especially if (after it is built) there is unobstructed view from the frontage e.g. a few bedrooms with windows opened to -- an open view, then the mouth of the house or qi often comes from, here. And also especially if you do not have a habit of going to leave the main door open, when you are at home most of the time.One good news is that under Flying Star Feng Shui, distinct from your ba zi or ba chai, in Period 8, often especially NE homes has one of the best "birth chart of the home". SW also has good chart(s).
For example, SW1 under period 8 enjoys very good sum-of-ten Flying star feng shui etc... As usual, you must find out or learn more about this theory to benefit when you do up your home. Or do consult a fs practitioner on this matter.

Dear Pam,
From looking at the Pepperwood, personally, I would not buy this home since the entire facade is fully "exposed" .
In my opinion, I personally feel uncomfortable - if I were to buy this home even if the poison arrow i.e. to me it seems low traffic but, if it is a road leading towards other homes, then, I would seriously think twice about it.
Since there are limited choice i.e. you have asked me an opinion as to whether this or Ashwood, I would personally feel more comfortable (last resort) purchasing Ashwood instead -- BUT, if given the choice, I would not do so unless the lamp post is relocated away from the house. The lamp post is a "stubborn obstacle" - which I really feel uncomfortable, looking at the picture.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
-
Dear Pam,
Yes, generally, Pepperwood is considered at a 'T-junction". But the good news is that it is like a "hello kitty" type of t-junction. Or a very mild - poison arrow. Since relatively, it would seem that few cars other than the owner vehicle pass thru this road.
Especially if vehicle traffic is minimal, there is no major issue since as you had mentioned, the main door is set deep in.
For the Ashwood, it is better to view the top-view or helicopter view of the homes vs the cul-de-sac. (I cannot fully grasp the situation as I cannot see where most of the home's main entrance/ windows if any that are facing the cul-de-sac "knife".
To side track a little: In my country, all homes have literally either a fencing or brick walls and a locked gate!
As mentioned above, the greatest threat to a home is thru "openings" such as the window(s) and/or main door. And if the main door or windows are away from the cul-de-sac shaped like a knife or blade, then it would be safe.
Recently, there is another question on cul-de-sac with pictures of house no: 1, 2, 3, 4 , 5 etc... and whether are they inauspicious or not. Perhaps, you can do a SEARCH in this forum to look at the illustration and my comments on each of the house.
Once again, many thanks for posting the pictures. They are very useful in understanding what you had written

Dear Pam,
I am glad that you find the resource in this forum useful
Thanks for posting the pictures. It makes it very easy to understand the situation, on hand.
Part I reply:
For the picture: ASHWOOD2.JPG
One good thing about the layout of this home is that the main door is "protected" as it is further in as opposed to having a main door right in the middle "exposed" to qi flow.
Try to stand at the main entrance looking out. As from the picture, I do seem to see that the lamp post may "cut-slice" into the main entrance. Is this so? If it is, this is a poison arrow - much like a butter knife slicing into the main entrance. Do check on this.
Warmest regards,
Cecil

Dear Sarah,Usually minor work like repainting or given a new coat of paint often does not by itself fly to Period 8.

Since your layout is like it is, if you really need to use the stove, there is frankly not much choice unless one has a wet or dry kitchen or could bear buying a simple burner stove etc.. to be placed at another identified location.

Thank you so much for your reply.
I recently moved into an apt. facing W1,
and I dont know if i should
consider it period 8, since it was fully
painted and renovated. My kitchen is on
the right side (looking out) and the
centre axle goes upto the stove which is
N1 and NW3, it is not in the centre of
the house. What should be done aside
from not using the stove at all?
Thanks,
Sarah

Dear Sarah,
Based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, where possible - it would be best for a stove not to be placed at the centrepoint of the home.
This can be considered as ONE major leak for the home. This is especially not favourable especially also if it coincides with #5 bad yellow earth star under Flying star within this location. Since fire element can further fuel bad earth. Leading to financial misfortunes for certain homes under certain Period(s).

Please advise me if it is bad
to have the stove in the
central axle of the apartment,
if so what is the remedy? Also
my apartment is in the end of
the corridor near the stairs
with an EXIT sign in front of
my door and also facing
another apt., is this bad?
Thanks, Sarah
tilting front door changes house facing?

Dear Pam,
Yes, this is one option. But from past experience, it may not be that effective especially with regards to the Flying Star Feng Shui. Since, often, the facing direction is the frontage and the sitting is directly opposite this.
It has more to do with the Eight House theory. Where, we can kill two birds with one stone. For example, if the main door is at NE. Tilting it, to the favourable direction of the breadwinner is good - chiefly if we apply Eight House theory.
For Flying Star Feng Shui, often, it is the location with most light or wind activity - and this is where we should determine where the "mouth" of the house is based on where the entire plot is "facing".
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
