Dear Anon, 1. There are many and varied ideas and beliefs regarding the type and number of fishes to be kept. 2. I agree that one belief is that some practitioners advise to keep fish according to the `season' of birth. 3. But, this is subject to interpretation or misinterpretation. Nowadays, most fishes bred in captivity, no longer `comes' from one season but rather, difficult to determine the `exact' season. Next, if you go to commercial outlet or shops, some of these outlets may have difficulty finding a fish that suits a person. 4. Here, you may end up buying fishes based on colors that suit you. For example, if you are a weak wood person, you may be asked to buy a green or brown fish. In real life, where are u going to get a green fish or an `ugly' brown fish? I believe, that if you were to purchase a green fish (such as parrot fish) or majority of its body is green, then you may have to buy salt water fish or oceanic fishes. Such fishes, may not be easy to rear. Thus the question is what happens if the fish dies? 6. The above are some of the considerations if one wants to buy fish that `suits' the person. If it is diffcult thing, then it is best to buy fishes that you personally like and are easy to `maintain'. 7. This situation is similar to the Feng Shui ruler. Although it is said that best dimensions are based on the Feng Shui ruler. Today, it is not practical or cost effective to go buy a ready made furniture. And if the dimensions does not `fit' then what happens? Usually, tables come in standard widths e.g. 4 feet, 6 feet, or 1 metre etc... Do one have the time to purchase a tailor made table. Even if one wants to will there be a manufacturer to produce one for the person? 8. Another important consideration is based on belief i.e. the type of fish. Generally, Chinese consider fishes such as: the carp (koi), gold fish, golden arowana, lucky fishes to keep. Thus no matter what element you are, these fishes are in general, `lucky' fishes. 9. Contrast this with a person's element such as water element:- Here, the type of fish is either blue, black or shades of grey. You can still find blue fishes. But I believe most of these again are salt water varities. Should you want to rear `black' or `grey' coloured fishes such as suckers etc... 10. Thus, it is best to buy fishes that you like. The next consideration is the maintenace of the fishes. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. I believe it is difficult to alter the height of the fish tank. This is because, most fish tanks plus the supporting legs are high. Thus the fish tank is usually at eye level. 2. The fish tank is thus more for the hobbyist rather than activating the `water star'. 3. The water star if one gets the meaning correctly means a flat surface. More like a water position such as a pond (not stagnant) or a swimming pool. 4. Another secret ingredient, is "sound". If one has stayed in a condominum or own a koi pond with a fountain, you can hear the movement of water sometimes even when you close the door. 5. For decorattive purposes, it is quite ugly to place the fish tank on the floor. Anyone wanting to view the fish tank has to stood down. Worse, many would not like to see the top cover. Here, one user correctly pointed out that most fish tanks are totally covered above and even the soft sound of the water pump is covered. 6. So, majority of people have a fish tank with fishes for a `hobby'. While others may have been asked by their FS practitioner to place it at a specific location. Usually, more to neutralise a Sha Qi. 7. What to look out for in a fish tank:- Besides what I have written in the Applied Feng Shui book and if you do a Search for past messages, you will read that: 7.1 Where possible choose a shape such as rectangular or if it is a small fish bowl, round. 7.2 Avoid, using a triangle fish tank as this is a clash between fire and water. 7.3 For the support, the best option is to choose the correct color for the stand. For example, if the fish tank is at the North, use a black or blue or grey stand. If the fish tank is at East, use a green or brown stand. This is usually the best advise. But, if you bought it new and since there are not much colours, then Para 7.3 is for consideration, in the future, should you want to repaint the stand. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. So far, no mainland Chinese has been crowned in Miss World beauty pagent. 2. In Chinese cities e.g. Shanghai, there are beauty contests. Plus there are many Chinese models. There are Chinese "beauties". (However, it depends on the eye of the beholder). Warmest Regards, Cecil

In China, it is quite common to find children catch crickets in the autumn. These children will train the crickets for fighting. And in some cases, the prize for a winning cricket is an handsome reward of an animal. The cricket signifies `fighting spirit'. Thus, it is generally considered auspicious. But it is not necessary true that it should be given as a gift i.e. the real insect. For a piece of jewellery, it depends on marketing of the piece as it is not a well known `object'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Most of the time, you will find two lion statues (which are standing tall and strong) on both sides of a main entrance. 2. Fudogs are more like the small remote cousins of the majestic lion or the equivalent of `poodles'. 3. This is quite similar to live pet dogs that some of us keep. Some keep dogs for both as a companion (inside the home) and if there is a garden, some keep to `protect' the house. 4. As these are beliefs, it is still acceptable to have the figurines inside a place especially a hotel. Furthermore, these figurines are not religious objects and are mere statues. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, The advise is to avoid placing it totally inside the home. The symbol should not be hung inside the house but rather, it can be hung outside the door. It should best to be avoided placing at the centre of the house. Unless of course, you want to turn the house into a `temple'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Denise, Please see below:- Welcome to the forum. Under the Eight House theory, there is really not much one can do other than understand that the house is the least suitable to you. But one should look at the bigger picture. For example, what intangible force is affecting the bedroom. Here, it is best that it is one of the four good intangible forces. On the other hand if one spouse has a good intangible force and the other not so good, let the spouse with the better intangible force sleep closer to that sector. For example if the husband's intangible force is prosperity while the wife's is disaster at the North sector (where the bed is). Let the husband sleep closer to this North sector, shielding, the wife i.e. the wife sleeps further away from the intangible force. Yes, under Shapes and Form Feng Shui it is best to have the table face the door. Rather than having the door behind you. `On guard position). Perhaps, I believe that most likely you have read somewhere to use three coins with red braid to generate wealth. Well, this is up to you as it is more of a believe than Feng Shui. You can use the Eight House theory to confirm this. Where possible: 1. Priority should go to sleeping at a good sector first. 2. Only after Para 1 is `satisfied' then you have a luxury of sleeping with the head facing a good direction (based on the Eight House theory). For the placement of wind chimes and crystals, usually it is up to you (especially if you use `sixth sense' or `trial and error Feng Shui). As not much information is available here. Most of the time, a more scientific method is to analyse using Flying Star theory to confirm if it is good or bad placing wind chimes or crystals. This depends on the degree or involvement of an individual i.e. if one do not want to go further than just basic Feng Shui, thus, the choice is yours. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kem, You should make use of the three main theories: 1. Shapes and Form to look at the house and its surrounding. 2. Eight House to see how suitable, the house is to the bread winner. Plus take special attention to see the intangible force influencing the house. 3. You can check out www.geomancy-online.com as there is a Good House module. This was developed by us and so far, I have purchased three houses based on this module myself. Plus, I have generated it for every of my clients. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Karen, Generally, what you mentioned is acceptable. The main thing is that so long as there is no direct path between the bedroom and the exterior or Qi comes and exit out, this is fine. Warmest Regards, Cecil
