Dear Anon, 1. The Living Room Usually, the centre area of the living room should be `low' areas e.g. the highest points are usually the sofa seats. It is acceptable to have the walls with higher cabinets. In the living room, we should `activate' the water star. Not necessary go out and buy a fountain but when we mention the water star, it can be low furniture. This is so that at eye level we can see the entire room. 2. The Dinning room The dinning table usually occupies the dinning room. As such, one should also apply the same concept i.e. water star i.e. keeping the middle sector of the living room `low'. Low which means the table is usually of a height where we can see the entire room. It is acceptable for the chair back rest to be higher. But overall, we can see the room without any partitions etc... Some believe that the mountain star can only be activated especially if it is the backdoor or a room e.g. a bedroom. While some practitioners do take one wall which is not the external wall where windows are to activate the mountain star should it occur or present. In my opinion, I would look at activating the mountain stair only in a room e.g. a bedroom, study room or the backdoor. However, some houses are unique as they have a room specifically as their dinning room. If this is a case, so long as the mountain star is not at the windows, it is `really' no harm, if one wants to try and activate the mountain star on a wall shared between another room. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, When using the 33.3 percent ruleset, furniture tends to be relatively small compared to the floor area of a room like the family room. Ultimately, purchase what you and your family appreciate, and there should be no problem. Caution is typically for those who have no real desire to make a purchase, but do so for the sake of Feng Shui. We should all strive to enjoy our lives. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Under natural forces of nature, it is acceptable to expect such conditions and one should not `worry' too much over this. 2. Most importantly, even with heavy snow, it is unlike another building blocking the frontage of the condominium. So long at most of the year, it provides a clear frontage, it is acceptable. Worse off are those houses that have their frontage blocked by as I mentioned other buildings. Warmest Regards, Cecil Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Thanks for sharing with all of us your view and caution about Fast Food Feng Shui. 2. As there are easily more than over 300 books on Feng Shui published, with either the `lure' of wealth or everyone's hope to gain immediate wealth, this would spell a dangerous position for the proper practise of Traditional Feng Shui. 3. Sad to say if this trend continues, many people, who may not have any problems could infact, create their own problems by adopting Fast Food Feng Shui. Thus give traditional Feng Shui a bad name. I remembered, that some persons had mentioned that they had studied `Feng Shui' from a popular author and afer e.g. 5 years of enhancing e.g. their `career ' or other sectors, were thus disillushioned with Feng Shui. Perhaps, one could have spent more productive time, engaged in our hobbies or pleasures? Or achieved something else in our lifes rather than hoping and waiting. Worse still, if it had caused health, and in some situations caused misfortune or even ruined families and even lead to death. Plus the wasted money buying `goods' or objects in the hope that we can gain more wealth. Money could have been better spent or saved. 4. For those who intend to live e.g. in a condominum, could easily have found an apartment, where, the condominum or building already has a `proper' fountain at the frontage. This fountain would for example, be good enough to give `prosperity' to the residents living in the plot of land. 5. If one has a relatively small apartment, how much can a small fountain bring us Qi. Worse, if one is `half-hearted'. Purchase a fountain than ask the question: Must I, turn it on 24 hours? In simple terms, if a fountain is not turned on it is considered `broken'. Thus, one should take advantage of economies of scale, where the plot of land, or condominum has a fully functional fountain (as an example). 6. Traditional Feng Shui or `Space Clearing' Usually, Traditional Feng Shui have some measures of `space clearing'. I believe, it may be worse, if one picks up the `finer' points of `Feng Shui ' enhancers, like buying wind chimes, fountains, plants and fish tanks. If, it is not meant as a hobby but purchased in the hope of obtaining wealth, then one may be even better off consulting a `Space Clearing' practitioner or such reading books. If the space clearing author writes that one must use intuition and less clutter, this concept has les harm than one provided in a book written by a Traditional FS author. At least, perhaps, `less harm' may come in. 7. Perhaps, in the next few years, more `precationary' books will be written to offset the tide of books that provide Fast Food Feng Shui. It is still important to remember: If it ain't broken, don't FIX IT! Like yourself, I do not like to sound negative, but Fast Food Feng Shui is a worrying trend as it had changed the lives of some people for the worse. Those who are lucky, I believe would vouch for it. Today, it seems to me like a losing battle. Another worrying trend is that many Feng Shui Schools even tradtional FS schools are `churning' out graduates, without the proper foundation. The worry here is that, some of these new `Masters' may be equally unsure and use the `place safe' method of using more `cures' or enhancers that is needed. Thus may inadvertenly create the imbalances. As a consumer, you have the right to know and always ask the practitioner to explain the purpose of the cure and how it relates to the Five elements. This will give you a better understanding of the imbalance and also make the practitioner put on their thinking cap. Warmest Regards, Cecil

(This message has been reproduced from an old forum message, which first appeared under the conference: Photo Tours with Interest) What happens if there is a lone tree tangent/between the main entrance door? Take a closer look at the attachment to understand another theory called The `Triangle' Effect 1. If it is a single tree in the middle (outside) the main entrance door. This causes an imbalance in Qi as the trunk of the tree slices (like a sword) into the main entrance door. Here, place two plants e.g. two potted plants on each side of the main entrance to neutarlise the tree. It also creates what is known as a `Triangle' effect. If you notice carefully, in the attached diagram, the triangle on the last diagram points away from the house. 2. If it is a lone lamp post, you can use two poles at each side of the main entrance or use two `objects' such as fu-dogs. If you do not want to spent money, you can also use relatively cheap `objects' such as two potted plants if you want here. The reason why you can use any of the objects is based on "Symbolism" to form a triangle effect. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. In Asia, the most common recommended cure is to use a Ba Gua mirror to deflect the Sha Qi. 2. Yes, this can be considered one of the worst Sha Qi which is in my opinion, quite close to a corner of a building aimed at the main door or a house at a `T' junction with the main door exposed to the road. 3. Assuming that it is aimed directly at your main door (or a direct hit), the best cure is still the use of a convex Ba Gua mirror to neutralize the Sha Qi. 4. In the last resort if one does not want to use a Ba Gua mirror, one may consider the semi-circular floor mat radiating outwards. This is a `mild form' of defense. (Which is less effective and not recommended here) 5. Another alternative is to placewith the addition of two pots of plants on both sides of the house. Again, this is another `mild form' of defense. (Which is less effective and not recommended here). Para 4 and 5 can be combined together and used as a `last resort.' A more effective method is to use the concept called the `Triangle' Effect. I will attach a reproduction of this concept to this message. Here, one can follow the same idea of using three plants to form a triangle effect to aim back at the pointed roof. Please note that this concept is more for a house which has been sliced by a single lamp post. (Therefore, it is more to understand the various concepts) rather than applying it to your situation. As, this is also an offensive method where two triangles (the neighbour's triangle roof, points to your house and you have a `triangle' object pointed back to the neighbours house. Thus this is `tit-a-tat' Feng Shui. 6. Another alternative is if one has a window overlooking the pointed Tudor roof, one can aim a dragon figurine directly at the tip of the roof. A more offensive item is to use a canon ( e.g. a toy canon found on ancient ships) aimed directly at the roof. The warning is that it should not be in a direct path passing thru one's living room. Ideally, it should be on an open shelf e.g. located on the window or if the room aimed from one side of the wall at a certain height, i.e. on top of a display shelf aimed at the tip of the roof. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Usually, if your house is `born' or built under Period 7 ( 1984 onwards ) if I am not mistaken, based on the Base element of the Flying Star, West is suppose to be a `Very Auspicious sector'. Unless, the Mountain and Water stars are `bad' stars, then there may be an imbalance. Are you looking at Flying Star Analysis on a total basis or just the Base star, Mountain and Water. It is best to relate the Base star, with the Mountain and Water star. In my opinion, unless the book comes from the same author and even so, both the first book you read must relate with the second book. If one follows too many different concepts, may face problems or non-uniform `cures'. As the information provided is piecemeal, and not sure on what it is based on, I an unable to comment further on it. Overall, based on the situation you mentioned,in my opinion, it would do no `harm' to use the wooden windchime. Usually, one has to be more careful especially if one uses a metallic wind chime. Alternatively, two potted plants on each side of the back door would be acceptable. Or a semi-circular mat, radiating outwards of the backdoor is equally acceptable. Overall, what is more important is to neutralise any poison arrows aimed at the main entrance or through windows. As for whether which door to use, is of secondary priority unless, it is the death/disaster sector of the Eight House. But normally, even if it is, the door can still be used and kept closed when not in use. A simple test is to stand at the window, facing outside. If the lamp post slices into the house, this is a `poison arrow'. Do check the location she spents most time at. If you are using the Flying Star, check where is the #2 and #5. If you have posted it in the forum, I would have answered it unless I have missed it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Perhaps, you do not mind elaborate further what you mean by "little sloping". In general, ideally, the whole house should be slightly raised or rather before the house is built, it can be built on a slightly higher land. Here, this means that the plot of land is even (not sloping on any side). Without looking at it from a Feng Shui view-point, a slightly raised plot of land and drains, the house wouild have proper drainage. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Pendulum Clock Yes, to some Feng Shui practitioner, it is a much better `cure' than say a " wind chime " as the `tick-toc' provides a constant `metallic' sound. 2. Rocking Chair This is "less well known" but has been used by some (more modern) FS practitioners, recommend it. Firstly, it has to go well with their clients. On the other hand, some FS practitioners may consider it less auspicious because of its rocking movement (unstable) as opposed to a solid and stable chair. Some of whom have solid armrests and some of the armrests have elaborate carvings on them. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Travis, 1. Sorry to learn about your health problems. 2. Most likely, there could be a sickness #2 or #5 at the current sector that you are occupying. 3. We would be glad to provide you will a Free paid, Flying Star report. Please email: robert-lee@3dmail.com and let us know if you have an existing account at www.geomancy-online.com and the account name privately. 4. Currently, it would be crucial to try to determine: The year of birth of the building/apartment and the direction of the main door. As a reference, the `year of birth' of the building need not necessary be the year the building was built but rather, when was the last major renovations of the building. If you still have a problem, and if the renovations was done prior to 1984, you may try to use Period 6 for the Flying Star Analysis. If the renovations were done after 1984, you may try to use Period 7 to do a Flying Star audit of the building. 5. As we are not physically present to help you, you may like to check whether there are any external `poison' arrows aimed into the apartment thru any of the windows or at your room door. Take care! Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, The fundamental questions are: 1. Where is the romance sector. 2. If there are more than one interpretation of romance sector, how should we go from there? 1. Where is romance sector? Some Feng Shui practitioners/authors use the Eight Associations or Life Aspirations/Association concept and pin-point to the South West sector. Such practitioners or authors, consider that it can be applied to say the SW sector of the bedroom. 2. If there are more than one interpretation of romance sector, how should we go from there? In an earlier forum message, one can find that: Under the Flying Star, #8 represents the "Romance" sector i.e. at North East. I have also reproduced several combinations of Mountain and Water Stars and their association with Romance. 3. How do we go from here? The question asked is which "Romance sector" should one enhance? if at all? 4. If one is really desperate to find Romance, is it logical to enhance all these sectors with the suggested enhancer `crystals' or `fountains'? 5. The most logical method is firstly use the Flying Star to check for any imbalances within each sector of the house. 6. It is not conclusive that crystals or fountains can enhance or activate romance to come alive. 7. What is worse, is that, many horror stories abound of people, using excessive or too much `Feng Shui' cures or enhancers like crystals or even fountains at the `wrong' location or what worse, does not match their Pillars of Destiny. 8. Imagine, if one is a weak fire person, a fountain may further exhaust his element. While for a strong water person the additional fountain (water) may overwhelm him/her creating sickness or competition at work. 9. In my opinion, it does not `pay' to spend money to create more problems for ourselves. We should lead normal lives like normal people and not overwhelm ourselves with self created problems. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Usually the combination occurs specific to the Flying Star Chart being generated. We have provided the interpretation of the various combinations under the generated reports for Flying Star. 2. In the future, once I am fully satisifed with the Flying Star Course, will have the information available for those taking the courses. As there are 81 combinations of Mountain and Water Stars, as not every combination are the same for each person, as mentioned, we have already provided this in under our Flying Star Report at www.geomancy-online.com Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Alice, 1. Usually, the Pillars of Occupation report will indicate the type of career and that it should be in `frequent contact with'. Perhaps, you may like to check to see if the `Wealth career' has to be in frequent contact with another element. For example, Accounting under the Five Elements Concept is considered the Metal element. 2. Previously, jobs are easier to define and not as `complex' as today's where we may perform multi-skills in one job. 3. Our emphasis of using the Pillars is more geared towards, the Feng Shui portion of precisely determing a person's element and its strength and using the season of strength under the Luck Pillars to further provide a `larger' picture and understanding of any enhancements or cures for the users/clients. 4. As many users have also requested for various other modules related to Pillars of Destiny such as `Pillars of Occupation', we have provided it also. Presently, I can only say that it is harder today to properly determine the exact element of each occupation as it may consists of a few elements. For now, one way of finding the element for a specific job is to find the main skill involved and thus consider this the element of the job. For example, as you had mentioned an Accounts Executive job; if it is related to accounting, currently this is considered a Metal element occupation. However, sometimes titles may be misleading and the job may be more focused on Accounting entry using a computer. The job then may not be considered of the metal element. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Further to the earlier message, this combination of stars is pretty interesting:- If Moutain Star #2 and Water Star #7, the significance is:- "Enjoy good wealth during period 7. However, great wealth will result in possible romance. Beware of someone using kindness or romance to cheat you of your wealth."

Dear Anon, Each has its advantages and disadvantages. 1. Usually, the 8 pie is easiest to do if one has a protractor or already has a predrawn transparency template done. It's so simple thus to determine the centrepoint and then immediately, sketch/draw the 8 pie on the copy of the layout plan. The 8 pie is also easy especially if the house is odd shpaed, with missing corners or you want to do an analysis which extends outwards of the house. It is also good for circular houses. Many Traditional Feng Shui practitioners like to use this because the numbers, Water, Mountain and Base stars, in my opinion can be neatly written and clearly understood. 2. The 9 equal parts, or 9 grids is useful if the house is rectangular or squarish shape is acceptable. Here, you can clearly see which sector is under the influence of a particular sector. It is advantages only if we are only looking within the confines of the house or within the borders of the house. 3. Therefore, there are no right or wrong answers as to which method to use. For me, I prefer to use the Pie Chart method as a quick an easy way to subdivide the sectors (plus the centre sector). If the house is a `perfect' rectangle or square, the grids are much easier to draw. Many Singapore government flats have sectors or divisions of rooms that quite fall within the 9 x 9 grid and thus it makes sense to use the Grid method. Plus, the walls fall parallel with the True compass directions e.g. North, 0 degrees, 90 degrees, 180 degrees ... 4. More importantly, it is not how one draws the 9 x 9 grid or 8 sector Pie charts but, the delivery is in giving quality results to the clients. 5. In the past, I do have a laugh when there was a debate over which method is `better'. I believe, all of us has more important things to do than childishly fight over such a `silly' matter. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, The Flying Star has: 1. The Base Star. 2. The Water and Mountain Stars. Glyn correctly pointed out that the Base Number #8 (North East, Weak Earth) is correct to represents Romance. 2. Under the `81' interpretations: Mountain Star #1 and Water Star #4 which is similar to Mountain Star #4 and Water Star #1 signifies the following:- "Successful sales, become famous, praised, have good luck and likely to be promoted." Mountain Star #4 and Water Star #4 which is similar to Mountain Star #4 and Water Star #4 signifies the following:- "Suitable for going out. You have romance luck." Mountain Star #7 and Water Star #4 signifies the following:- "Romance Luck" Mountain Star #4 and Water Star #7 which is similar to Mountain Star #4 and Water Star #4 signifies the following:- "Romance is in control. There is Wealth and Romance gains during this period." Mountain Star #1 and Water Star #7 and Mountain Star #7 and Water Star #1 signifies the following:- "Good luck in romance. Very lucky when going out. Prosperous." Thus, my interpretation of "#4 and #1' and vice versa, differs from the statement mentioned below. Warmest Regards, Cecil (C)Copyright 2000, Cecil Lee

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, ideally, one should not use a large cactus to neutralize the sha qi. 2. A large (indoor) plant would be a better alternative. It can also be an artificial plant. Also, on a "commonsense" approach, it would not be ideal to place a large cactus plant in a shopping complex or office as someone may accidently brush against it or their bags etc.. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. First of all, one viewpoint of the Grand Duke Theory is that the Grand Duke is actually based on the movement of the Planet Jupiter. 2. As Jupiter is the largest planet circling, thus Chinese astronomers believe that it has an influence (e.g. magnetic influence) on other planets depending on its location. 3. Thus, one view is that the Grand Duke is based on Chinese Astrology readings. Please see below:- Yes, I recalled a real life example of a user in this forum. I believe it was one of the older messages. She mentioned that workers dug earth outside the room which she was sleeping. And she had problems after that. Yes, based on the 3 killings, usually the opoosite side needs to `watch out.' Theortically, this is `correct.' But usually, this is the least priority or in my opinion, if we were to look at the use of the Grand Duke Theory, it is best to be concerned with `digging' portion. This concept of not opposing the Grand Duke i.e. I believe, would be better off being applied in a macro environment e.g. during a war where you try to have the Grand Duke `supporting' you rather than confronting him. In my opinion, I do use the Grand Duke Theory for this. One concept is that one should not block the Grand Duke. It is considered disrestpectful to block him. Currently, there is a controvesy as some some practitioners do not believe in the Grand Duke Theory. You may have to decide for yourself, based on the various inputs or to keep it under consideration. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Valerie, This has to be approached from two view points: (1.) Using Intutitive Feng Shui (2.) Using Traditional Feng Shui methods 1. If one do not want to dwell further into Feng Shui, can use the intuitive or their 6th Sense. Under this, so long as the house has had no major problems, such as `happenings' like unnatural deaths etc.. Issues like previous "domestic problems" should not be an issue. Such Sha Qi usually dissipates `fast'. 2. For those who go further i.e. using Feng Shui may, use the Eight House Theory to see where is the best placement of the table i.e. generally checking the auspiciousness or inauspicious sectors. 3. Where possible, the office table placement should be against wall etc.. 4. For those who, want to take a step further after having done the Eight House may want to consider using the Flying Star. If not, can `end' at the Eight House. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. If you have the opportunity to avail yourself to the services of a Feng Shui practitioner onsite, much the better. Since you are building a new house, many considerations need to be considered. Other important considerations, is that the Feng Shui consultant can advise you on the best date for `starting' the work. 2. There are lots of considerations to be made and a trained eye would be a better choice. Please see below:- There are a few considerations here: 1. Where possible, the house should be suitable to the breadwinner. The Eight House can be used generally to check how suitable the house is to the breadwinner. Where possible avoid the death or disaster sector. 2. On the birth chart of the house, if it is a new house and if it is possible to have a double 7's at the main door for a period 7 house, much the better. Alternatively, the main door should be at an auspicious sector. 3. Usually after considering Para 1 and 2, then you see how best the door can be `protected' from a direct poison arrow. For example, if there are no other alternatives and under Para 1 and 2, it may be advantages to tilt the main door to an auspicious sector of the breadwinner. As mentioned, for those who are new to Feng Shui may find what I mention Greek to you. If so, this is the reason why, I believe, if you can find a Feng Shui practitioner to do a onsite analysis the better. Under the Conference: Photo Tours of Interest (with Pictures) Locate the short write-up on the Sterling Condominum. This plot of land has a rectangular shape. But a few units in this condominum have excellent Feng Shui. However, this triangle plot sits on a hill. The apex is the tip of the triangle. Those at the apex are considered to have good Feng Shui. Based on symbolism of Feng Shui, those at the apex are like at the `Top' or occupy the `top' positions. Thus what this means is that not all triangle plot of land have `bad' Feng Shui. If you are using the Eight House Theory, there are four auspicious and four inauspicious sectors. Generally, especially if the house has the death/disaster sector at the main entrance area, this is under the Eight House, the most unsuitable house for the breadwinner. Ideally, the best is to avoid having a bathroom at the centrepoint. Where possible, keep this sector clear. If it can be avoided, prior to building so much the better. Frankly, after having seen so many cases, in my personal opinion, there are no known cures for this. Best, avoid, avoid and avoid. A full Feng Shui audit is not isolated. One has to use all the various concepts and theories to examine the house. Shapes and Form, Flying Star and Eight house cannot live in isolation. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Priority should be given to the Flying Star Analysis as it takes into consideration the Time Dimension in Feng Shui. 2. However, we have to ask this question: Although Flying Star Analysis takes into consideration the Time Dimension, what is the duration of the Flying Star analysis using the Time Dimension? For example, the usual standard is to do a 20 Year Flying Star and if the practitioner is proactive, would also do a Yearly Flying Star Analysis. 3. For those who use the report at Geomancy-online.com, a full report would include the 20 Year Flying Star, plus the Yearly and Monthly Flying Star analysis. 4. Normally, you should use the 20 Year Flying Star Report and also look at this year's Flying Star report. If the cure defers, users may take analysis provided under the Yearly Flying Star Report. 5. The plus point is that one can further fine tune the imbalances for each Year. If we look at the Flying Star of the Year also. 6. The minus point is that one must remember to generate a new report for the next year or generate the report for the next year and note down, any changes (if any) for the next year. 7. The above are usually done for many of us who do not have current problems. For example, the house continues to enjoy good Shape and Form and the household lives, `happily' with occassional minor ups and downs. 8. For those who, follow Feng Shui `cures' closely are the ones who use the Monthly Flying Star chart. 9. Therefore, you can see that when we mentioned about Flying Star Feng Shui, we have to find out what `level' of analysis was done. If it is a 20 Year Flying Star analysis, although it takes into consideration, time dimension, it is still a 20 year (average). 10. On the basis of a 20 year Flying Star analysis, we should not totally discount the Eight House Theory i.e. if there is an inauspicious intangible force at the bedroom. Thus if one looks at it, the Eight House is still a major consideration if we average `out' the time dimension under Flying Star. 11. If you soley use the Monthly Flying Star analysis, one can if you want to, leave out the Eight House Theory. My opinion is that if you still use the 20 Year Flying star or the Yearly Flying Star, do keep in consideration the Eight House intangible force. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Luna, 1. Priority is on the Flying Star Chart of the House. 2. More importantly, under the Eight House, best to look at areas where one spent the most time at also. For example, the bedroom location. 3. As Feng Shui is a holistic approach, Shapes and Form should also be looked at seriously. 4. I forgot to mentioned that under `Quantum Leap', for the Eight House, the bedroom intangible force has to be looked into. More importantly, Para 3, the Shapes and Form School is also of prime importance. Both external and interior of the house. External: Threats to main door, windows. Internal: Toilet at the centre, severe missing corners, odd shaped houses etc... We still must use all available tools. Warmest Regards, Cecil
