Dear Nhan, Please see below:- For those who are not aware, the sum-of-ten is for example: mountain star #5 and base star #5. Here, these two add up to a sum-of-ten. In such a senario, if properly used, can help to enhance Man Luck (Human and Relationship and Health Luck). Could you 1) Our house is a For the effectiveness in the sum-of-ten, the most effective are: Earth shaped or rectangular shaped home or try to have your home as `rectangular' as possible. In the living / dining area if it is L shaped, try to have it as rectangular e.g. a partition or screen. 2) Our Even with a #8 mountain star at the centre: some school of thought is to have a `mountain' perhaps in the form of a cabinet or storeroom. Here, since the centrepoint is the `flux' location, best to leave it clear space. In fact, the most advantages for a sum-of-ten actually is similar to the Shapes and Forms Feng Shui of making each unit of the room as rectangular as possible and allow clear space at the centre area or the `flux'. Frankly, I have not looked at the association of #8 mountain with the interaction of the base number or water number. Here, these two other numbers has to be looked at in combination with #8. As #8 mountain cannot be looked at in isolation. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jen, Please go thru some of the resources here:- House Hunting: Can or Cannot buy? http://www.geomancy.net/products/po-hunting/po-hunting-faq.htm In fact, many times I have been taken advantaged of with regards to the above. For example, in the past, I had to literally `put-down' every other work to help these people. The faster I help analyse each case, it does not seem to be appreciated. What's more, often I hear of "threats" - The agent says, I must confirm OR ELSE.. In fact, there were many cases where some clients (I did for free) literally - gave me the entire development's plans and help them find good choice units. One even asked me could I identify good housing board units in "Choa Chu Kang estate". Wow, nowadays, given the perpertual abuse, I decided not to do it for free, already. "A thankless job":( Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mandy, Based on the facing direction it should be NW. And sitting direction is SE. Please use the free tools which is available in the website for finding the sleeping direction. For the stove, most practitioners often consider the female of the house - and it should preferably face her good direction. (Bearing in mind the flying star chart influence i.e. if a specific sector: some practitioners say is the North or NW, it is best to avoid the true compass directions else it may `burn' auspiciousness.). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mr Ng, I have already privately e-mailed you with my frank comments and several reports for you to understand better your Heaven Luck (which is adding to your woes). Please note that since you are considered a weak metal person, having a fish tank can be a double edged sword - if especially the location for it is wrong - athough, it can still be used for a weak metal person. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Pillars of Destiny has it's limitations: 1. It is a snap-shot of your Heaven Luck or (What is given to us). 2. On a personal level, we can try to wear clothings that harmonize us. 3. More importantly, our Earth Luck (Home) does have a significant weightage on our luck. 4. Pillars of destiny is used to harmonize our ba zi with our home. For example, colour scheme and position of beds, study area. 5. This is why, as far as possible, the three holy trinity of Luck is often used - instead of only 1 trinity (Heaven luck) in isolation. Heaven Luck - what is given (Use this to harmonize with our earth luck) Earth Luck (Feng Shui of a home) Human (Man) Luck - this is free e.g. relationship with family members (bonding etc...) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mr Ng, 1. Yes, you can quickly fax to me or privately e-mail : support@geomancy.net you and your wife's date of birth. 2. In your case, since there are many major leaks, try to fix as many leaks as possible (those that can be fixed). Hopefully, your home is not cluttered with too many "figurines" off-loaded by the various practitioners. 3. If there are `cures' in place especially other water positions or large objects e.g. a crystal cave etc... sometimes, this can make the situation worse-off - if they are placed in the wrong sectors. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Robert, Simply orientate the markings in each L-shaped rectangle to the compass markings e.g. North-North template, South to South - true compass directions. Warmest Regards, Cecil Regards

Dear Wasis, Part I of reply:- Based on your kitchen layout, the most optimal stove position is at locations : Marking A or B. For marking A, the only major issue is that there is a window. Yes, this can be used. But, under commonsense approach to Feng Shui, in case of a fire, plywood is a combustable object and may cause more damage in a real fire. In the above example, Marking B is more practical, since a stove a marking A will cause the window to be closed - no air. Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. Please see attachment

Dear Anon, Further to what I had mentioned, another consideration can be a fan i.e. with metal / aluminium blades. Perhaps, an aircon can be equated with it. Here, even with the best placements, air circulation or qi movement within a confined space. Personally, I would even consider the humming of the hepta air-cleaners as a form of moving metal. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Further to what I had mentioned, attached please find a graphic illustration showing unbalanced qi flow for an awkward rectangle shaped block of flat as opposed to a `normal' rectangular block. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Caroline, It is best that you re-read my earlier posting and illustration. 1. If you look carefully at the outline of the school, it has a head and mouth, a body, several legs and a tail/fin. 2. In addition, if you look at the purple outline, it shows the mouth opened to `suck' qi from it's surroundings and from your unit. 3. In addition, I have shown other problem issues: 3.1 The canal outline is inauspicious in relation to your block. Here, it translates to lost opportunities, and result in financial entanglements or simply lost of wealth. 3.2 The other critical issue, which I did not fully touch on is that your unit is an `entrapped' unit. 4. A normal rectangular block as as block 517 has better Feng Shui than your block. 4.1 It so happens that your unit in relation to your block is sandwiched much like the U shaped inauspicious configuration. Where qi at your unit cannot either flow properly or move in a more even keel. In addition it is close to the lift landings where, there are also issues related to the movement of metal (lifts moving up and down). Frankly, the best FS practitioners may not help given that there is not only one major leak but, a series of leaks. At best, it can only help to harmonise the home or reduce leaks. But overall, the amount of lost opportunties and leaks will always be greater than in-flow of wealth. Therefore the success rate is stacked against one, from day one in such a senario. Hopefully, the major renovation by the school could change it's profile and thus reduce one major leak. Wishing you all the best in selling your home! Warmest Regards, Cecil It seems like our Thank you and Best

Dear Anon, Another form of metal can be e.g. 1. A copper ruler. Some FS practitioners equate e.g. a 1 foot copper ruler as equivalent to the 6 coins. 2. Another alternative is a pendulum clock. A real pendulum clock that has a brass counterweight that swings. But brands like "SEIKO" with imitation spray painted plasted swings that look like brass is suspect. 3. Some users have suggested a musical tick-tock pendulum. 4. Another alternative is: the early Chinese alarm clock that has a mechanical movement. This clocks have to be wind. And it gives a metallic tick-tock sound also. 5. Another alternative is the use of a water-fountain e.g. those that has a circular radiating ball at the centre. Here, the centre ball represents metal element. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mr Ng, Thank you for your fax copy of your layout plan. Based purely (alone) on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, there are several major leaks and sub-leaks:- 1. Major Leaks:- 1.1 Shared toilet ================= Your shared toilet is at the centrepoint or (centre-of-gravity). This toilet is also close to/next to the main entrance. 1.2 The entire interior layout ============================== Qi flow from the mouth of the house (main entrance) is not harmonious in relation to the master bedroom door and living room area. (Based on the blank layout plan). If a partition is used, it should screen the master bedroom door. But becareful of the use of a screen anywhere else in the home. 1.3 The master bedroom toilet ============================= This is another toilet which is in an inauspicious Shapes and Forms position. 1.4 Top down view of each block =============================== Unlike a rectangular point-block, each block has an awakward shape - and this affects the flow of qi coming into your unit. 1.5 External shapes and forms ============================= Inauspicious Road movement (symbolic of virtual water movement) vis-a-vis very low floor and a circular radiating feature (boomerang or disk effect) sending sha qi. 1.6 Water position ================== Based on a preliminary glimpse, you have to be extra careful if you are placing a water feature at the living room area (especially at NW direction - metal direction which could inadvertently exhaust good metal - making things to nought). On a Shapes and Forms analysis, water may not be compatible with a NW metal area. But, I am just guessing. But, perhaps, a Flying star analysis may be different - if, there is a #8 water star at the living room area. If so, water can be used to activate `wealth'. 2. Frankly, based on just the Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, there are more than 1 major leak. And often, based on my past experience, wealth is difficult to retain. 3. Your question was that you like to know where is the best location to place your fish tank. 3.1 If you can let me have you and your wife's date and time of birth, I can check for you whether (firstly) you are suitable for a water position or not. 3.2 For example, in a senario where e.g. husband is a strong water person and wife is a strong wood person - water can bring with it more problems etc. Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. without your permission, I have not posted a copy of the interior layout plan. But, if given the permission, I can post only the interior layout plan - with comments - and protect your privacy by not showing the external layout.

Further to what I had mentioned, since it is close to the next period, do wait for next year's analysis to see if a further set of six coins is needed. Or else, do let me know e.g. via private e-mail, what is your Flying star sector. And I can advise you to leave it on or not necessarily to place it on for the next year. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. For a home, it is best to take note that the Period of the 20-Year Flying Star analysis does not change unless a major renovation has been done. 2. Major renovations include especially hacking of floor tiles and removal of the roof tiles. Some Feng Shui school of thought would suggest that symbolically, one may not technically need to remove the entire set of tiles. Just a few tiles. And some would include a combination of removal and cleaning or re-painting or re-coating the tiles. 3. For example, your 20-Year Period 7 Flying Star, will remain the same. 4. As usual, we will update the Yearly influence to reflect on the yearly star and it's effect on that year. This can be seen on the 1st Jan 2004. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Caroline, 1. Frankly, the map that was provided earlier does not fully show the full context (significance) of the major threat - entire Shape of the School outline. 2. As I am very family with many locations, I know where this location is. But had also masked out key important roads and pointers - since you had indirectly indicated for some privacy. I have also provided a self-explanatory write-up under the attachment in this message. 3. If one looks carefully, the School looks much like a reptile or (dragon) with an `open hungry mouth' facing Block 518. Unfortunately, the reptile looks rather under-nourished. And this is symbolic of the need to feed regulary. 4. In the attachment, I have also drawn an inauspicious zone from where the open hungry mouth wants to devour. 5. Often, and inclusive of the canal "slicing" into the block, in my opinion, finance will not be too good. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Chong Song, In my opinion, if it is based on protocol, the male should be on the left and to his right no. 1, 2 and 3. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mr Ng, You can fax the layout and landscape plan to my company fax no: 64820570 Warmest Regards, Cecil

Part II: 20-Year Reigning Period: 8 (2004-2023) Block direction: S3 (195) Compass direction: 187.5 to 202.4 For units along 20, 19, 24, 23 and 28 and 27 and should it qualify for the above, can also be equally auspicious. Since, under Period 8, where these homes will be Period 8 homes: under this Flying star Feng shui, S3: mountain star is = #8 water star = #8 with base = 3 Implication: [8] & [8] - Prosperity, good wealth. Therefore, considered very auspicious under Period 8. For a #8 with #8 and base 3, facing the water position, do allow for clear space e.g. such as the balcony facing virtual water (clear space). For units that qualify under this area, DO not block the balcony with too many things e.g. clothings, water positions. It is best to leave the balcony - clear space under this 8, 3, 8 combination. I do hope you had `hit-the-jackpot' if your home should qualify under Part I or Part II:) If not, the development has been pretty popular given it's North-South and South-North orientation. Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. Please note that for those who currently own homes built under Period 7 or earlier cannot automatically enjoy Period 8 influence based on these two situations Part I or Part II. If your present home satisfy this condition (period 6, 7 home), you SHOULD seriously consider making your home a PERIOD 8 home to enjoy this influence.

Rosewood Condo Location:Junction of Woodlands Ave 2 and Woodlands Ave 1 Lease: 99 years Expected TOP: 31 July 2004 (middle of next year) Developer: Centrepoint Properties Pte Ltd My comments: 1. In general, majority of the units are aligned around the North-South or South-North configuration. This is generally good considering the fact that a North-South or South-North homes often have relatively good light source all day round. - Without directly facing West or East. 2. Please refer to the site plan below:- Site URL: http://www.rosewoodcondo.com/siteplan.asp I will not cover all units but, units at #13 and #14 are particulary advantages based on two areas:- 3. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui It is well placed to collect good qi. In particular #14 has an extra bonus of qi flow coming from the side. 4. Flying Star Feng Shui Under Flying Star Feng Shui; units with frontage facing in particular: Most likely unit #14 20-Year Reigning Period: 8 (2004-2023) building facing direction: N1 (345) If the block/balcony faces 352.5 to 7.4 degrees, this block has very favourable Flying star frontage of mountain #8 with #8 water star and base #4. Especially under Period 8, when this condo is ready, it implies that with the water position (outside of the home) swimming pool, this is considered a very auspicious home. In addition, one can even have an option of having a water feature at the balcony area. For example, a landscape at the left wall (to simulate a mountain) can be added a the balcony and another water position or fountain can be used to activate water at the right wall. (If we stand in the living room facing the balcony!) To be continued under Part II. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Tracey, For homes that are built or had a major renovation under Period 8, do look out for water star #8. Since, water can be used (often in a landed property) to activate this water star - for wealth purposes. It would be even be excellent if #6 is present under this configuration. For example at a sector: water star is = #8 and base star is = #6 (big metal) With this two combination of 6, 8, water can be used to form a auspicious flow. However, under the Flying star chart one must be extra careful of a reverse in this position where: water star is not #8 but instead, mountain star is #8. And in the above equation; Mountain star = #8 base star = #6 this 8, 6 combination should not be allowed to have a water position at this sector. But instead, this sector is preferably a `mountain' such as the backdoor or a wall, instead. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jisun, You can use this manual method to check your actual Western to Lunar calendar:- http://www.lovesigns.net/astrology/ayear/a60-80.htm This in general, if you are born on or between 2 Feb 1965 to 20 Jan 1966 under the Chinese zodiac, you are considered as a Wood-Snake But if you are born on or between 21 Jan 1966 to 8 Feb 1967 you are considered as a Fire-Horse. You can also make use of the free reports at http://www.geomancy-online.com to generate your correct lunar chart by simply keying-in or input your Western date of birth. Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. Please note that generally, if one is looking at only the Chinese zodiac signs, often, many books written in the past would simply look at just one's Year-of-birth. Contrast this with the more advanced form of Human Luck readings i.e. Pillars of Destiny or Ba Zi or Eight characters. This one, can go further by looking at the Year, Month, Day, Time, Hour and some other pillars and their interactions to come up with something that is not so simplistic as just the "Year-of-birth".

Dear Scott, Thanks for sharing with all of us, your personal views on this matter. The first thing that strikes my mind is the motto for Discovery Channel's endangered species: "If the buying stops, the killing can". We can draw a parallel, to the current situation with such "FS practises". "If the GREED stops, the buying can". But at last, unfortunately, these people prey on our "GREED" to succeed and also portray a certain mystic of buying such commercial products". As the saying goes: "There will always be fools, to fill many shoes!" Personally, a single web-site is like a `drop' in the ocean. And unfortunately, the sale of products are simply too great a profit to miss that in my opinion 9 out of 10 Feng Shui websites "will already be corrupted" by the huge profits to be gained. Here, many practitioners, in my opinion would not twitch an eye to sell us all sorts of stuff - some even incompatible with our culture! Looks like, it is a losing battle:( Warmest Regards, Cecil I feel best

Dear Caroline, Further to what I had mentioned:- Make sure that the corner of the pond is not aimed at "vital areas" e.g. main door entrance. In fact, in general Feng Shui, many practitioners would recommend the placement of the water feature on the (left) side of the garden. Since the right side is said to bring with it extra-marital affairs. (Where one stands inside the house looking outwards). Contrary to popular belief, it should not be placed directly in-front of the main entrance. Or blocking it. Again IN GENERAL, many FS practitioners would favour the placement of a water position (in harmony with the compass direction.) Thus, many FS practitioners favour the placement of a water feature at "wood" locations such as the East and South-East (both wood locations). Or north. Many FS practitioners are not in favour of locations such as West or SW (since these are metal location) Both the domain of the white tiger as well as too much water here, is said to create an imbalance. Since the water, will draw out the metal. However, the more advanced is the use of Flying star Feng shui to locate sectors with favourable water star positions such as #6 (big metal). Here, or at such a sector, metal interacts with water to create wealth. If one is not sure, may have to check with competent practitioner on the used of the Flying star Feng Shui. Since, one of the key success of a Flying star chart is to locate elements at each sector and balance them. If the major renovations include things like hacking of living room floor tiles and repainting of the entire house, then your house would certainly had shifted to Period 7. Things like the above and removing the roof tiles or removing the main entrance door, would certainly change the period to Period 7. Although, this statement is pretty short - but, it generally sums up a "perfect" situation that most of us would like to have for our home/office etc...! In fact, this is considered a `tall order' in one single message. For the people, who want to D.I.Y. then, apply as many sound FS concepts as possible. For those who do not have the patience or expertise, then, should seriously consider hiring a competent FS practitioner. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Ai Ling, In my opinion, there should not be an issue, other than it may look unsightly. Warmest Regards, Cecil Ai Ling
