Dear Anon, Although the East/West Group of persons concept is applicable here, it is best that the shapes and form of the apartment is acceptable: 1. The house should have few missing corners or odd shape. 2. Find out more of the history of the rental apartment (usually this is not an issue most of the time). Not compulsory thou. 3. Although NW is your accident direction, do check out what is the intangible force in the bedroom. If the intangible force in the bedroom is equally inauspicious e.g. deather, then it is best not to take up the rental. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Not so much of Feng Shui, but do give an air of confidence. It is best to use tips relating to interviews than Feng Shui to work effectively. Under Chinese Astrology, it is good that the date /time of interview is an auspicious time. Otherwise, there is not much use of it. Wishing your husband best of luck in his interview! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, you must have picked up the tip from a book written with `sector Feng Shui'. 2. From what I can see, in normal situations, there is relatively no issue or problem with regards to the placement of candles in your living hall or kitchen. 3. In my opinion also, real fire is more `unusual' than any of the other 4 elements e.g. water, wood, metal and earth. In that candles relate more to Yang energy - enhancement of Qi rather than `sha qi'. 4. I believe, some FS practitioners (if they are practising Flying Star (Xuan Kong Fei Xing) may be worried about this. Since, under the Five elements concept, fire produces earth. And because #5 (misfortune, sickness) and #2 (sickness) are both born of the earth element. 5. But in my opinion, real fire, produces heat, which more towards, enhancing Qi than adding `fire' to earth. Therefore, I tend to look at fire (candle fire) as more towards the higher level of Feng Shui i.e. Yin and Yang concept over the Five elements concept unless you intend to start a bon fire at home! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. It is good to learn that your garden has lots of curves. 2. Where possible, in relation to curves, it should not `radiate' into the house especially `slicing' thru the main entrance door area. 3. Garden Feng Shui is also based on commonsense approach of: 3.1 Not turning your garden into a jungle. 3.2 If your garden is small, then, it is best not to plant one huge lone tree (especially on the North-East side of the house). 3.3 closer to the frontage or the walk path, where possible, this should be clear space or grass or carpet grass should be grown instead of plants. As the plants grow, it requires space. 3.4 If plants can grow favourably in your garden that is great. However, if you are not a lover of plants, perhaps, you can consider the Japanese type of ZEN garden. With small and large pebbles and a decorative lamp. 3.5 If you are a lover of fishes e.g. koi, then, you may seriously consider a fish pond. 3.6 For garden Feng Shui, the most sensible thing to do is always the upkeep or maintenance of the garden. If you do not have the time, then, it is best to grow grass on this lawn. Which is much easier to maintain. 3.7 For garden Feng Shui, do avoid placing any unusual objects or any objects that have a mouth facing towards e.g. the windows or the main door. This is very inauspicious as it signifies, poverty since the object (as mentioned above) looks like it is taking food from your home. 3.8 Avoid, placement of lone tree (that one day) becomes a tree slicing into either the main door or the windows. If you want to plant a tree, make sure that at the end of the day, a few years later, it does not slice into your home. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Thank you for bringing up such an interesting observation. 1. Symbolism or importance of it is one of the key components in Feng Shui. 2. Since your finance is affected after doing so, it is prudent to see if you can correct it. 3. "The Customer Service Engineer Concept pr CSE Concept." Sometimeback, I coined this term because it is a useful term to remember. 4. Let me share with you this little observation. 4.1 In the past, I saw this incident: 4.2 This IBM machine (at a remote site) was giving intermittent communication problem with the host for many months. And remained unsolved. 4.3 Most of junior IBM Customer Service Engineers (CSE) could not solve this problem. 4.4 Then, came this senior CSE. He did a relatively simple problem resolution process. This machine came with 4 internal cards. Instead of replacing all 4 cards all at once, he replaced one at a time. 4.5 After replacing one card, the machine would be monitored. If the problem still persists, he knows that one of the other 3 cards were giving problems. He did this until the problem was fully rectified! 4.6 I used this case study to illustrate that if you are doing D.I.Y. (do it yourself) Feng Shui, should should do the same. Then, if there is a problem, you can know where the problem is. 5. Unlike, a Professional FS consultant who, would instead be able to analyse and diagnose and recommend you to apply cures in many areas at the same time. You may not have the luxury to do so. Therefore, for those who are new to this forum, see if you can remember this important point. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mun Hon, Please see below:- 1. Most importantly, sector Feng Shui or paying homage to a sector is not a realistic way to practise Feng Shui. 2. The rationale is because it is too general to be of use for anyone. Statistically, it makes no sense to relate SW = romance sector. 3. In many of the past examples, I given such an example:- 4. Assuming that SW = romance sector, what happens if three of us are intrested in a new employee? 5. Based on the `romance sector theory' that we often read from some books, it says that we have to enhance it. 6. In my case, I place 1 rose on my SW sector. While, you have heard me doing so and decided to place 99 roses on your work table as well as 99 roses in your home at SW sector. Another of our colleagues, heard of this and outdo the two of us. He placed 999 roses at his SW corner at his home and to outbid you he also placed 199 roses at his office table top. 7. Guess who the girl dated and perhaps got married? One possibility could be:- " All three of us became complacent. Waiting and hoping for `Feng Shui' to do the `trick'. But it never happended! - Instead, she was being wooed by a nice `boy' who talked to her daily at the bus stand where she takes a bus to work. " 8. I hope you can understand the fallacy of sector Feng Shui or paying homage to SW. Or if SW is missing means that you are doomed in a relationship. This is where, auto suggestion may take place. If one's spirit is down, one may never go and meet someone who may become your potential partner. 9. Yes, it is possible to divide a room. But one must see how big the rooms are. If the rooms are huge e.g. like the Buckingham Palace or the large rooms e.g. ball rooms, function rooms, one may still divide the room. 10. But if your room is no more than 10 feet by 10 feet or even 20 feet by 10 feet. It does not make sense to do so. 11. The question asked is: What is the purpose of doing so. So that one ends up with more romance sector to enhance. 12. There is no major problem with an exposed beam if one does not sit below it most of the time. 13. In fact, the effects would be felt only if one say sits under the beam for extended period of times e.g. One and the half hours or more per day per year. 14. If you or your family do not sit below it, as mentioned above, it does not matter. 15. However, to neutralise a beam, one must see what material it is made of. - If it is made of wood, then, metal element should be used to neutralse this beam. - If the beam is made of concrete, then wood element is used to neutralise it i.e. two flutes. In my opinion, don't listen or believe too much in `sector Feng Shui' i.e. SW = romance, North = career. Try, if one wants to and in 2 or 4 years more, please return to the forum and give your comments on it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wasis, In my opinion, it is best not to practise Feng Shui in relation to a direction and its related colour or element. The rationale is because, it is too general without considering the birth chart of a house. Instead, you can perhaps look at the two theories:- 1. Protect, protect, protect. Stand a the main door and look out of the house. Are there any threats? If so, appropriate cure(s) should be used. Without relating to whether, e.g. North = water. As sometimes, two potted plants can be used to neutralise a poison arrow etc... 2. Flying Star Feng Shui Use this instead to look at the sector. As it involves three element relations and the 81-combinations of the #mountain with #water star and base star. The proper use of these three will give a higher level of understanding of what is `in-store' at that sector. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Rosemarie, 1. If one is applying the `formula' or the Gua number, it is best to apply a specific site's interpretation from begining to the end. 2. The rationale is because, if one uses the steps provided by e.g. each site one should as a end result get the same answers. 3. I cannot blame you for getting confused especially, if one reads a few lines from one site and follow another set of guidelines from another e.g. book. Here, again, I must emphasise, you have to read totally the instructions from a site and follow it. 4. Rationale, why many are confused:- 4.1 The original template or Chinese compass uses the magnetic South to North. While the western uses North to South. 4.2 To complicate this, some sites refer to the instructions based on the Chinese Luo Pan or Chinese Compass. Here, we call the frontage the " FACING " direction while the back is known as the " SITTING " direction. This is why, some books define that the you have to refer to the back door or the `sitting ' direction. This is prefectly correct since the sitting direction is always facing the front (or the front door area). 5. As this is an international website catering to people who can easily get an ordinary hiker's compass, the main door is always at the direction where the compass is pointing to (from the centre-point of the house). Contrast this with the Chinese Luo pan where the alignment is South to North. 6. Therefore, one has to read the instructions from one site (from start to end) or totally. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Symbollically, it is not good Feng Shui to have a cracks e.g. hairline cracks on the main door. But I personally, feel that this is secondary, to the Feng Shui of the house. One can still do some minor repairs e.g. using silcone as a temporary solution. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Tracy, Thank you for bring up this interesting question. 1. Stagnant water is always referred to as bad. For example, it is always considered highly inauspicious if one has a well at the front of the house. It is feared that a well (still water) is `host' for evil spirits. 2. Pagodas were built along water veins. And pagodas were built on sites to neutralise such Sha Qi. 3. Water Feng Shui also considers which direction the water flows. 3.1 In this example, url: http://www.geomancy.net/review/tropica/index.htm 3.2 You will find the statement " For example, two cities in China i.e. Amoy and Canton are situated at this Dragon-Tiger gate. This is where the Yang Dragon of the East is in gentle embrace with the Yin Tiger of the West. 3.3 The Tropica also has the Dragon-Tiger gate on its south-side with the protective hills represented by the apartment blocks at the north side. The clear space with water positions at the south side is in perfect harmony with the horseshoe wall of the apartment blocks acting as the hills. " 3.4 It is said that water flow can be auspicious or inauspicious depending on which direction it flows into the sea. Here, if the direction is favourable, then negative ions abound. Otherwise, it could lead to excessive positive ions. 3.5 In the above example, one can find a situation where the river flow is auspicious:- From the above site "In addition, it is auspicous as water flows from west to east to Sungei Bedok." 3.6 One should not take into context, a general statement. Because, as I always emphasised, no two sites are the same and we should not stereo-type one statement that fits all situation. 4. More importantly, what is the definition of front and back of the house? The main door can be at the front. But in many instances, the frontage (or the place where more light comes in) e.g. the living room or balcony can be facing the river you had mentioned. Therefore, in such a situation, it is perfectly acceptable to have this `frontage' facing the river. 5. The only situation is that in the past, depending on where the river is, upstream etc... it is also subjected to flooding (in times of heavy rain). 6. One therefore, cannot simply come to a conclusion or take a general statement and fit it into your model. In many instances, also a lake has a healthy population of fishers and eco system and in many instances there are also rivers connected to them. Even if they do not have rivers, rainfall, precipitation constantly fall into these water catchment area. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Users, 1. We have just published Free resources on Palmistry. If you are curious or want to find out what your hands have in store for you, you can view the various slides under this URL:- http://www.geomancy.net/events/Palm_Talk/palm_talk.htm 2. Which hand should I look at? There are a few ways at looking at it. But overall, the best results has been shown to be:- As a guide, it depends on whether you are right-handed or left-handed. If you are right-handed, then, it is best to review your right hand. If you are left-handed, then review your left hand. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Users, One of our new initiatives was to convert some of our fixed resources into Mandarin (Chinese) - the native roots of Chinese Geomancy. We had previously converted a few of our pages in 1999 to Mandarin (Simplied and Traditional Mandarin). But at that time, Mandarin speaking users were few. With the emergence of China, (where Geomancy was banned during the communist era); today, more Chinese are surfing the net. Many Chinese nationality have a thrist for Geomancy and have written in us to consider having simplified Mandarin. We will be converting gradually, some of our resources into Simplied Mandarin first. As our site is pretty huge, we will be converting the more important resources first. This project will be an on-going one. Warmest Regards, Cecil & Robert Lee Center for Applied Feng Shui Research P.S. For info, both China and Singapore uses Simplied Mandarin. While Hong Kong and Taiwan uses Traditional (Big5 Mandarin)

Dear Users, Reading Your Palm (Palmistry.net) Geomancy is a very wide topic encompassing Palmistry. In China, palmistry was widely practised since 3000 years ago. Although Palmistry or Chiromancy is not as popular as Feng Shui today, I have already created on-line website resoures which will help you to read and understand you and your family's palm better. Our approach to Palmistry is based on a scientific level incorporating all the major schools of Palmistry. Both Western and Eastern methods in a well proven method of understanding your Life, Health, Love, Courage etc.. I personally feel that Palmistry will help to compliment the understanding of your life better:- Major Lines Life: Vitality Head: Attitude & Career Heart: Matters of the Heart & Human Feelings Will I marry or travel? Major Regions Mercury: Health Related Apollo: Potential for Success or Fame Saturn: Fate, Career & Friendship Jupiter: Luck, Ambition, Pride & Leadership Money: Skills at acquiring money Other Regions Upper Mars: Aggressiveness Lower Mars: Moral Courage or Will Power Moon: Good Life, Enjoyment or Discontentment Venus: Generosity, Affection We hope that with more avenues in Geomancy, it will certainly enrich your life! We will be publishing this set of resources soon. And we will also add a new conference in this forum to discuss on this topic. Our website: Palmistry.net will be pointing to our major website Geomancy.net With more avenues, we feel that you can then enjoy understanding your life better. Warmest Regards, Cecil & Robert Lee www.geomancy.net www.palmistry.net

Dear Chloe Lin, 1. Thank you for making the effort to draw a sketch. 2. I have revised it using an outline of what you had sent. Please see attached. 3. I need to understand further:- 3.1 Is the cul de sac oval shaped? 3.2 As I cannot clearly see how the curve of the cul de sac is in relation to the road, I cannot fully comment on the impact on your house. But, based on what you had drawn, with the road coming into your front of the house, I would say that your house (based on this intitial findings) is a `direct hit' or threated by the road and cul de sac. 3.3 I have drawn the two way movement of cars based on American standard i.e. cars drive on the right side of the road. Is my drawing correct. 3.4 When you stand at the main entrance, facing outwards of your house, can you immediately see the road leading into and out of your home. 3.5 Are there any windows at this side of the road. And if so, where. Thank you. Warmest Regards Cecil Lee

Dear Users, A while back, I had constructed two additional FAQs. We just published this two pages yesterday:- 1. Worry Free - International Off-site Package Visit this link to find out more about this relatively inexpensive service:- http://www.geomancy.net/consultation/consult-home/offsite-consultation.htm Many users have been constantly asking us if we have an International Off-site service. And the above resources will help you find more. 2. House Hunting: Can or Cannot Buy? 2.1 This is a hot topic, locally in my country. 2.2 I find some of the resources in this page is equally relevant for finding a good house in your country. Especially what to look out for if one wants to have a `Quantum Leap' in Feng Shui. 2.3 `Quantum Leap' in Feng Shui simply means that once you can find such a house, you do not even really need FS consultations. Many people, in their life time have never used Feng Shui, yet, were lucky to live in such homes. Where they were blessed with `wealth' in the form of money and children. 2.4 This link also touches on the relevant fact on why many FS practitioners do not really like to be involved directly with you when you are at this stage of house hunting. 2.5 In fact, asking a FS practitioner on house hunting is more tedious than simply visiting your already purchased home. Nevertheless, I hope you find the resources below useful:- http://www.geomancy.net/consultation/consult-home/home-househunting.htm Wishing Everyone, Health, Wealth and Happiness! Warmest Regards, Cecil and Robert Lee Center for Applied Feng Shui Research

Dear Chloe Lin, 1. Currently, it is difficult to imagine how much threat (or any) with regards to the cul de sac. 2. Appreciate if you can draw a sketch of your house in relation to the cul de sac: 2.1. In particular, the location of the main entrance door. 2.2. Profile of the curve of cul de sac towards your house. 2.3. The rough distance between the cul de sac to your home. 3. One must understand that internal enhancements e.g. putting a basket inside the house etc.. to `catch' wealth should not be the first move - especially if the house is under an external threat. 4. Here, it is best to diagnose whether there is a leak somewhere. A primary way of doing this is FIRST fix the LEAK. 5. Frankly, imagine, we are now in a small boat. The boat has a small leak on it's side. It is not prudent to ignore this leak and concentrate on `enhancements'. 6. The boat will ultimately sink. I am saying your house may have this situation. But, let's look at it in a more scientific method. 7. If one can plug the leak, this would be a long term solution. Than e.g. paying homage to corners in a home. 8. On your own, this is best that you can do, first and urgently. 9. Perhaps, I would like to touch on how we trouble-shoot problems if any:- Again, this calls for a pragmatic approach in such a situation:- 10. What happens if one stays in a house and faced problem? Normally, on a professional level, the Ba Zi of each family member is looked at. In particular, the current Luck Pillars. If the breadwinner's current Luck Pillars is unfavourable, the advise given is to apply his/her favourable elements to help the breadwinner. On the other hand the house birth chart and environment is looked at. 11. There are two major senarios here: 11.1 The breadwinner's Ba Zi has clashes in his current period Luck Pillars. And the house has major leaks. This spells much `worse' trouble. And to fix the leak, both breadwinner's personal self and the house need to be fixed. 11.2 The breadwinner's current Luck Pillars period is auspicious. While the house still has a major leak. 12. From the above, you can see, that it is if one uses such tools properly, one can `scientifically' trouble-shoot to see what went `wrong'. And the key success factor is to fix as many `major' leaks or to reduce, them where possible. 13. Many of us instead, `look the other way'. Instead of fixing leak(s), we instead pay homage to corners. Which unfortunately yield very little results. And will still ultimately sink. This is unfortunately, a vicious cycle of not knowing what `hit us' or went truly wrong. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. If you have the Pillars of Destiny Report, you can have a glimpse of what is your luck in winning the lottery. 2. Please refer to attachment:- File: Piancai.gif Under this illustration, you can find two items:- S/no. A - Unexpected Wealth (pian cai) 3. For this person, his pian cai is 5. A score of 5 to 7 means that one has a high probability of winning at lottery, 4-numbers or toto or loto or state gambling lotteries. 4. I personally have encountered a client who has unexpected wealth of a score of 7. Here, he often win in the lottery. Recently, last year, he own over $500,000 on the government allowed 4-digit game. Once a month, when he gets his salary, he would just buy one number. For example: 1234 (big and small). And he spents just on this number without buying combinations of it. He constantly wins smaller amounts. 5. I don't expect you to have pian cai or unexpected wealth or score of 5 to 7. But if you do, your chances of winning is great. Especially if you look at your pillars of destiny chart e.g. attachment piancai1.gif. In this example, in his luck period 4, he has pian cai in his chart and the probability is high for him to strike lottery frequently. 6. Another interesting way of using the chart is that one can compare the various family member's pian cai. For those whose score is between 0 to 4 have average chance of winning or striking lottery. But if one's chart has 5 or more `pian cai', this is great!, why not let him/her buy on your behalf (provided he/she is of age to do so!). 7. Under the attachment: piancai.gif, you will also find out what is known as unexpected funds (pian yin), this has to do more with inheritance. Although, for inheritance it is both unexpected funds and unexpected wealth. Hope that this will give you a better understanding of how you can make use of your Pillars of Destiny Chart. Good Luck in your Pian Cai!! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Thank you for bring up an interesting question. A career related to fire element is always considered as your wealth element. Here, there is a distinction between whether you are weak or not. Even if you are weak, your career with wealth is still the Fire element. If you are in a career related with Fire, for a weak water person, you need to strengthen your weak water with metal element to benefit from such a career. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- By definition, brown (and green) belongs to the wood element. For example, oak, teak, american cherry wood (dark or light) etc.. belong to the wood element in lieu that their colour is brown. Where it comes to pine, it is still wood element but an experienced Feng Shui practitioner would ask their clients to avoid this type of material i.e. pine ( sold in IKEA ) as it resembles closer to `yellow' or earth element. Therefore, if in doubt, a FS practitioner would normally, try to advise their clients to go more for other popular wook grains such as teak and the popular cherry wood type of colour. 1. For most shapes, colour takes precedence over the form. Thus, a wooden furniture painted red would represent the Fire element (red, purple or pink). 2. However, for `unusual shapes' or a pyramid type of object, the form precedes the colour. Thus, even if the pyramid object e.g a clock mounted on a pyramid should still be considered a Fire element because of it's pointed shape even if say it is black or white in colour. 3. It is never wise to post such a question in say an open forum. Here, the argument on the above would never end. 4. In my opinion, what I mentioned, therefore is based on my personal experience. I would say it is a `fair view'. 5. But, some FS practitioners may not agree with the view. I really cannot help it if they have their own comments. 6. Ultimately, you have to come to your own conclusions. 7. I find that if it is a small object e.g. a piece of decorative table clock encased in a pyramid form, it has miminal influence or very secondary type of Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wendy, 1. Thank you for bringing up an interesting question. 2. It is also related to complexities of the human beings. Here, our up bringing and `tolerance' comes to play. And as we are aware, each of us vary in this aspect. 3. On a commonsense approach to Feng Shui, if we happen to live in an apartment, it is always preferred to have our main door at a private area. As opposed to facing a neighbours (more from a privacy issue). 4. But, let's say our neighours are the `untidy' sort and leave their shoes scattered around the common enclosed space. Sometimes even end up at our door steps. 5. Some of us may be tolerant, while others may not. Some neighbours are noisy and if one prefers quiet, then the chances of `conflicts' occuring here is more prominent. 6. For many of us, since our neighbours are not our immediate family members, we may not have a high tolerance level with what we may perceive as `their nonsense'. 7. For bedroom doors facing each other This is an interesting point. As we are now usually dealing with family members. There is a higher chance of family members not getting along well, if the two bedroom doors face each other:- 7.1. There is not much problem if one room is occupied by adults e.g. father and mum. If the child is young. But if the child grows older e.g. in their teens, there may be situations where this can occur. For example, I was recently doing an audit, and noticed that the parent's bedroom door faces the teenage child. Perhaps, by coincidence, the teenage child is at loggerheads with his dad. These are some of the more common `problems' that I encountered after auditing many homes of such nature. Perhaps, call it a coincidence, if you want to. Feng Shui is continously evolving. What we can do is to try to learn from similar situations. Those that most likely work, should be applied to many people. This is the best way to progress. Frankly, no Feng Shui Master can say that they have all the answers. It goes with experience and also `encounters' likely, not so often, encounters of the `third kind' - spiritual kind! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wasis, Please see below:- You can perhaps check whether your altar table meets this criteria. Apologies if it is in inches. But if you are using metric, then it is easily converted. The standard auspicious measurement for an altar is as follows:- For a lower altar table: height: Between 40.5 inches to 44 inches For a higher altar table: (This is the most common height) height: Between 49 inches to 52 inches Auspicious Width of table: miminum width: Between 15inches to 19inches other auspicious width/depth: Between: 32 inches to 36 inches or Between: 40.5 inches to 44 inches Between: 49 inches to 52 inches Between: 57 inches to 61 inches It is best to have the altar within the above auspicious dimensions. Do take note that it is preferred that the altar table is based on a higher height i.e. height: Between 49 inches to 52 inches. This is to ensure that children do not accidentally touch the items on the altar. Since they are not prayed to avoid letting them face directly the main door. They can be tilted to face inwards e.g. to the living room area. The present location is better since you are intending to tilt the door. If so, the present location is not an issue. Looks like the present location is better than this site. As it is not appropriate to have the altar next to the TV set i.e. this area is no good. It is best to avoid placing it on the opposite wall of the toilet bowl as in the present situation. It is equally bad to have it face the dining table or facing your altar. From what I can see, there is not much room to place it unless you can place it between this picture and the altar. Attached please find an alternative position (provided it is not facing the main door). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Thank you for your layout plan. From the looks of your building there is relatively no need for a Ba Gua mirror. Since your main door, behind it is well protected from any Sha Qi. If there is a need to place a Ba Gua mirror, I have attached the location marked by a red dot. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Hardjo, A poster bed is useful if there is a slanted ceiling. The four posts hold e.g. laced cloth. And with it, it will negate the sha qi. Enclosed please find a sample of a poster bed. Many poster beds does not have a roof as shown in the picture. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Peck Wun, Yes, it is preferred that an altar does not face the main entrance. Here, it is considered disrespectful as you are asking guan yin to guard your door for you. If you can, (if possible) although the altar can be located facing the main door, where possible, try to see if guan yin be facing towards a wall instead of directly, facing the main door. Avoid, tilting guan yin but as mentioned above, see if you can allow her to face e.g the wall next to the main entrance. Or alternatively, change the location (if possible) Warmest Regards, Cecil
