  1. Dear Felicity, In my opinion, it would be more frutiful to try to boost our luck in other areas (if we can). Namely under: 1. Feng Shui of the home - Shapes and forms of the home - Others such as Flying Star. 2. Pillars of destiny - personal luck. 3. Protect the house such as the main entrance door or windows from poison arrows. 4. As for how to counteract the effects of having the main entrance door under `death sector' ... we can do only that much ie. to comfort ourselves such as, closing the door when not in use or keep the location bright. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  2. Dear Mogford, 1. I understand your `problem' faced trying to apply Feng Shui to your boat house. 2. A boat house is quite `similar' to a small apartment and dormitory. 3. Applying Feng Shui to your boat house is indeed very difficult and because of space constraints or the uniqueness of the layout, there is not much `enhancements' one can do other than: 3.1 To make the house boat as `cosy' or comfortable to the individual. 3.2 Application of Shapes and Forms is more crucial i.e. `parking' the boat in a secured and sheltered environment. Here, it is like houses which is on a barren land and subject to strong force of wind blowing. It is such unprotected situations e.g. storms and strong gale or force of wind that can result in `sha' qi. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  3. Dear Anon, 1. The symbolic method to making another main door is to place the house no. on that door instead of the `actual' main entrance door. 2. In my opinion, one can still use the other `main door' and it is not necessary to `seal' off that door. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  4. Dear Anon, 1. In most traditional FS practises, the person's true element i.e. weak or strong element is taken into consideration especially in trying to make the room more closely `fit' the Ba Zi of the person. 2. Thus, if you are a weak water person, light blue colour and even blue colour bedsheet is considered beneficial to a person with weak water element. 3. The caution with `blue' lies with it over a person or room. For example, it is avoidable to paint the ceiling of the room blue. As this represents `difficulty' or water weighing on a person i.e. in the room. 4. For a bedsheet, for example, one is sleeping on top of it. And e.g. light blue painted on the wall; does not always give rise to such concerns. 5. Thus the best method is to check to see if the element can harmonise or be in harmony with a person's Ba zi. For a husband and spouse, usually a `binding' element is used instead. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  5. Dear Mrs Sachi, Please check out the conference: Samples that will not receive a proper reply. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  6. Dear Anon, Overall, the home should be kept `bright' as opposed to dark (or darkness). Most of the time, "advise" provided would focus more on `interior' decoration and how each person (can be the individual or the FS practitioner) percieve about how sectors of the house can be `decorated'. Keep the basics correct such as good shapes and form, first. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  7. Dear Nadine, In my opinion, my preference is white or light cream/beige. Again, this is quite subjective so long as the roof is not painted /tiled with blue. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  8. Dear Jun, The two most important considerations are: 1. Try to the entire room rectangular /square and not odd shaped. This includes the existing and new area. 2. Avoid creating missing corners or sectors for the extension. It is best to have a top down view of the property to ensure that the house is not odd shaped. 3. If the house has a profile of a head i.e. head jutting out of the home, avoid making the `head' of the house heavy! An illustration of an auspicious house becoming inauspicious due to a heavy `head' is as follows:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/grandpa1.htm If one makes the head of the house heavy, it is very inauspicious and can result in death of the breadwinner. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  9. Dear Blanche, For an altar: Avoid placing it 1. facing the dining table. 2. on the opposite wall as the toilet. 3. facing the bedroom. 4. in the bedroom. 5. facing the main door. Otherwise, find a `private' corner of an area. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  10. Dear Blanche, 1. I believe in proper application of Feng Shui, usually the colour co-ordination and colour / material of furniture should take into consideration the personal element of the person and his/her partner. 2. This is where, a person's element is determined i.e. weak or strong element. In addition to this, if one has a spouse, the binding element of the two are usually taken into consideration especially in the bedroom and areas such as the living and dining room. 3. The Flying Star analysis is also taken into consideration under Para 2 and the particular sector i.e. South West. 4. If para 1, 2 and 3 is not taken into consideration, then you may have best to go by your personal feelings or combined feelings of family members. 5. For painting of walls, in general, neutral colour such as white (metal element) is the most acceptable. Alternatively, pastel shades would be acceptable. 6. For crystals, there is little maintenace required especially if it is kept in an enclosed display shelf. If it is outside, then gentle cleaning to remove dust particles would do. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  11. Dear Joyce, The door leading to the living room should be taken as this is usually the main entrance door. It is best to do a proper reading of the main entrance door direction else the Flying Star analysis may not be accurate. When you have the proper readings, please e-mail robert-lee@geomancy.net for another report - Group analysis paid report. This report is specifically tailored by me to focus only on the most important interactions. I believe it would prove very useful to help your friend. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  12. Dear Blanche, This is acceptable because: 1. In general, for example, some consider books are like knifes with `cutting' edges while soap, lotions are usually rounded. 2. One has to spent time at the location. As the toilet is usually a transit area... and we do not spent all our time there, there should not be any issues there. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  13. Dear Anon, Perhaps, it would be more convenient to do a search e.g. under Yahoo.com and type in Feng Shui emporium ... I believe it is much easier to buy it from the internet especially in your part of the country. In my country, there are plentiful shops by the dozen scattered in my locations. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  14. Dear Jun, 1. In my region, acquiring a pair of flutes featuring the phoenix and dragon design is quite simple. The phoenix, symbolizing the female, is typically hung on the left side, while the dragon, representing the male, is placed on the right side, as the dragon is associated with the East. The ease of hanging such flutes is due to the importance of ensuring that the design is not inverted, allowing for easy alignment of the mouthpiece with the pictorial representation. 2. It may not be feasible to come across a pair of flutes with similar designs in your country. In my view, if your flute showcases any illustrations, it is essential to ensure that they are not displayed upside down. 3. In the absence of drawings on the pair of flutes, interpretations by various Feng Shui practitioners may vary. However, I believe that as long as the flutes have the correct profile, resembling the trigram outline as depicted in the previous images, the absence of drawings should not pose a significant issue. If further clarification is needed, one can position the mouthpiece accordingly: for the left flute, the mouthpiece should be oriented upwards, and for the right flute, a mirrored orientation should be followed. 4. Placing the flutes just above the sofa seat where one typically sits is considered more precise and effective. Therefore, if the sofa seat is positioned on one side, the flutes should be directly above it, rather than in the middle span if the sofa seat is absent. 5. The positioning of the flutes on either side of the beam does not hold significant importance. I trust that you now have a clearer understanding of the placement guidelines. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  15. Dear Jun, 1. Since this is a concrete beam (earth element) the best element to destroy or neutralise it is the use of the wood element. Where wood destroys earth. 2. A good wood element is shown under the following link:- You can view a sample of the placement of a flute under this url: http://www.geomancy.net/mypictures/cgi-bin/imagesearch.cgi?img=0&search=flute&cat=all&x=34&y=7 3. You will notice that the flute is placed as:- ------ / \ / \ is that it also resembles the top half of the Ba Gua trigram. 4. If the beam is a wooden beam, then the best element to neutralise it is the use of metal element such as using the i-ching coins. Some practioners use round coins or `star' shaped metal coins. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  16. Dear Joyce, 1. I am not sure if you are familiar with the atttached method of finding the main door of the house:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/cecilcompass.htm 2. If you have the layout plan and have difficulty finding the centrepoint e.g. especially if the house has many missing corners, then you - scan and attached it to this forum for me to help locate the centrepoint. Alternatively, you can email me for my fax no. (if need be). 3. I believe, the description you mentioned in finding the main entrance may not be `correct' as what I can understand. You need to be at the centrepoint of the house and from there, find the direction of the main entrance door. There may be deviations in compass reading especially from a compass with smaller mass (e.g. if one is close to 1 metre from the wall especially if it has steel or metal in it). 4. If you can properly obtain the main entrance, you can e-mail to robert-lee@3dmail.com where, I asked him to provide you with a free credit for a Paid Report to help your friend. Thank you for taking the effort to help your friend. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  17. Dear Lin Nah, 1. As a reference we can look at this url: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm 2. There is a manual version of the Eight House Theory or Concept. For a West house person: favourable: West, NW, NE and SW. (ref: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/west.htm ) For a East house person: favourable: East, North, South & SE (ref: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/east.htm ) 3. The above matches your description of the East House person. 4. In my opinion, it is not true that a "WEST" person have to stay in an EAST house. Perhaps, you have to properly clarify what you mean by an " WEST " person. Do you mean that a WEST person = or not equal to the term " East House ". 5. Whenever we try to understand a concept either from a specific book or many books, the terminology may not be the same or similar. 6. It is advisable to read and understand the concept of what the author is trying to say. Rather than to `mix' and match similar terms from various authors. 7. You mentioned "It will mean that if i'm a West Person but have to stay in a EAST house, " Based on what I read here, this is not `correct'. 8. A West person should instead preferably stay in a `West House'. Which is a home where the entrance door is located at either West, NW, NE and SW. And as far as possible the locations where a West person spends time at should be auspicious. Preferably the bed is located at a good sector such as NW, NE or SW if the main entrance door is at e.g. West. 9. There are also priorities and ranking in Feng Shui: 9.1 Is it more important to `face' a good direction or sleep in an auspicious sector? 10. In my opinion, it is best that the house adhere firstly to good Shapes and Forms. Especially the bedroom. For example: The bed should preferably be against a wall; try not to have the bed on the same wall as the bedroom door etc... Only after the about "condition " has been satisifed should we then look at where we sleep. If possible, the bed should be at an auspicious location. If not... kind of -- "Too bad". Alternatively, let the spouse sleep closer to the good sector and the person sleep further away or next to the spouse. 11. After having `satisfied' the above condition, then it is NICE to have, one sleep `facing' a good direction. 12. Holistic Feng Shui is similar to taking an examination. This is where we have to try to score marks in all `questions' or areas. For example: if the examination questions is divided into three sections: 1. Shapes and Form (Exterior and Interior) - 50 marks. 2. Eight House - 25 marks 3. Flying star of the house - 25 marks It is no point scoring full marks for the Eight House' test i.e. 25 marks and failing the rest. This is where most of us get the wrong idea of Feng Shui and simply concentrate (like mad) on just one area forgetting the rest. We can't just drive away a car without the " four wheels! ". Every component in the car is just as important! Warmest Regards, Cecil
  18. Dear Anon, 1. Thank you for your layout plan. 2. Attached please find my comments in the attached file below. 3. Priority is to place the bed based on Shapes and Forms school first. It would be nice to have, it if it can match your Gua no. but priority must be given to proper placement as shown in the attached layout. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  19. Dear Honz, 1. Frankly in my opinion, it is very difficult to apply `corner' theory such as the feel that a sector or corner is the `Helpful People' or `Fame/Partnership' sector etc.. 2. If we fully analysise `corner/sector' " Feng Shui ", it looks like all areas need to be enhanced. 3. One has to becareful of such a theory because, we end up trying to `decorate' seems like all areas of the home. 4. There is really not much one can do, if a toilet is not in a good position other than to comfort ourselves by either closing the toilet door, making it more bright / dry and some go to the extend of covering the toilet bowl each time when it is not in use. 5. For a small studio apartment, usually, it is much harder to apply "interior" Feng Shui concepts even if we use such things as `corner' FS. When we have a small apartment, every corner we `meet' ends up as `problem' areas. 6. For a small apartment, I feel that what is more important is: 6.1 to neutralise any threats if any towards the frontage or windows of the home. 6.2 generally, such apartments should be cosy and not overly cluttered. 6.3 to best harmonise the house, one can look at one's element and strength and then relook at the home. For example, the ba zi of the person can be further understood and related to the house i.e. a weak wood person, would perhaps, try to use the five elements concept and apply elements such as water and wood. Or to further enhance one's self. Such as clothings. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  20. Dear Wasis, We live in a practical world and many of us should not be deprived of books (some of us loved so much). For `bookworms' or those who simply love books, would be surrounded by them. Therefore, the only practical advise is to keep them neatly.. it would be good to have them kept inside bookshelves. If one has open bookshelves, so much the better. Although it is said that books are like knives, I could try to avoid placing it facing the bed. If one's bedroom has sufficient room for the bed and a separate area for say the study area or small corner bookself, facing away from the bed, the better. Else, for many people, it is still acceptable here. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  21. To the Chinese, it is unlucky to give especially someone: 1. A clock. 2. A pair of shoes. But since this is a watch.. it dwells more on beliefs or coincidences. But generally, it is felt that giving knives is not good since it is symbolic of sharp or pointed objects. Nevertheless, as relationships are built on communication, trust and interaction of the two parties, if you want to try to continue with your relationship, should perhaps, have a `hard to hard' talk with your ex-boyfriend and see how things goes.... Warmest Regards Cecil
  22. Dear Brenda, Yes, a small decorative screen next to the toilet so long as it is sufficent to block the view of the toilet and not the whole bathroom would suffice i.e. OK. For a mirror facing the front door normally this would not be advisable as it would reflect Qi or disperse Qi and may not be that advisable. It also depends on other factors i.e. distance to the door etc... If a mirror has to be used, a sloping mirror (similiar to those found at some shop shops for customers to view a pair of shoes) i.e. sloping would be an alternative where it is not perpenticular to the door. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  23. Dear Latha, One may have to determine how long one has been married. In my opinion, although there are references to pregancy under the Flying Star chart where the combinations of the mountain and water star interact to give an interpretation. However, with advancement in the science of fertility, it is best to seek the advice of doctors in this specialised field praticularly if one has been married for more that 3 years and have difficulty in conceiving. Thus in my opinion, it is more worthwhile to spent money seeking fertility advise than to rely on FS. Or follow some of the methods used such as taking the temperature to check for ovaiation etc... I believe, more success can be attributed to this then to rely on `FS'. Which is again not a `cure all'. Warmest Regards, Cecil
  24. Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, it is difficult to the energy from an existing home to a new home. 2. As you mentioned, the best `enegry' is the `energy' or the memories in one's mind and the minds of people who lived in that home. 3. For cleansing a home, especially a new home: 3.1 Often, salt is used or sprinkled more often in the toilet area or corners of the home. 3.2 For the Chinese, many use rice and sprinkle them throughout the home. 3.3 Others invite e.g. Priests or monks/nuns etc... 4. As for cleansing an existing home, this is not usually done by the previous home owner but rather the new home owners and may follow Steps 3.1 ... Warmest Regards, Cecil
  25. Dear Elaine, In my opinion, I do not see any problems in installing the medium shutter for the windows. Warmest Regards, Cecil
