Dear Jolene, Frankly, it is difficult or impractical to hide this corner. An alternative is to use a poster bed with screens or curtains ... but again, this may not be a practical solution. A metal wind chime can be used in such a situation to neutralise the corner. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, In very early years before China had exchanges with the West, you will be surprised to learn that many missionaries had infact introduced and translated many of China's culture, history, classics especially works by Confucius. For example, Matteo Ricci, who was an Italian missionary had infact translated several books into Latin in 1590s. Since his time, many famous scholars and writers had taken much effort in translating Chinese works into English. Such famous scholars include: Lin Yutang, James Legge who is an English writer. Another famous transalter is Richard Wilhem, a German Scholar. These scholars had infact translated several volumes of the famous Chinese Four Books and Five Classics. Several Chinese Universites have also scholars who are constantly translating works into English. Some of them found James Legge's transalation (where some of words are `dead english' words) and try to elaborate further. Many works have indeed being translated into English such as I-Ching or Book of Changes where Confucious said that if he had lived a further 50 more years, he would love to spent time reading/understanding it. Other works such as The Ancient Art of War... had also been translated. Books such as the classic Book of History had also been translated... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Rudresh, In my opinion: 1. India like China has one of the oldest civilisation. These two countries have some of oldest civilisation. 2. In fact, in the Chinese tale of "Journey to the West"; a Chinese monk of the Tang dynasty was given the task to go to India to obtain holy scriptures. 3. This does show that there is much to be learned from Indian culture. 4. Since China and India are close neighbours, there is indeed much trade and cutural exchanges. 5. I believe, (for now) Indian vasthu is not as contaminated or highly commercialised as " Feng Shui " of today. It is because of the highly commercialised `Feng Shui' what with FAST FOOD FENG SHUI and marketing genius of sites associated with Black Hat Sect. Even `traditional' Feng Shui is not left untouched or contaminated with FAST FOOD FENG SHUI. Where people pay money (literally) such as buying wind chimes, fountains, spending money in the hope of getting a wind fall but.. atlas! No hope in sight... Many got disillusioned that paying so much for commercial stuff e.g. paying $xxx for wind chimes that are say manufactured for less than $4 or $5 dollars... 6. We see many people also disillusioned and instead of going to the temple or church.. had this weird feeling of simply `crawling' on their knees to pay homeage to a corner of the house! Yes, times have changed... 7. Personally, I have not looked at vasthu.. but, I believe that like all fields; if they are properly applied and with good reason would benefit many people. 8. Let me drawn an example of `Feng Shui':- 8.1 In my opinion, it is very diffcult even in Feng Shui to practise: 8.1a) 9 Star Ki 8.1b) Flying Star Feng Shui Basically 9 Star Ki Feng Shui is one and the same as Flying Star Feng Shui. The difference is that Flying Star Feng Shui is more specific and focused on e.g. evaluation the birth chart of the house. 9 Star Ki Feng Shui actually uses the same 9 grids of the Luo Shu Grid. But the difference is that; in my opinion, it was exported to Japan. And it is equally popular in Japan and United Kingdom. One should understand the Japanese culture. The Japanese culture, in respect of Feng Shui wants to use it more in totality or as a package. Thus 9 Star Ki, looks at not only evaluation of the house but it combines the person etc... 10. Frankly, I do not really taken up studying vasthu but perhaps, it should be taken `like 9 Star Ki' as a holistic method. 11. Here, even in Feng Shui, it is difficult to mix and match 9 Star Ki and applied it together with Flying Star. One should either use 9 Star Ki or Flying Star as some how, if one mix and match.. it usually does not come out `right' or you often get the `wrong' answers halfway using half of each method. 12. Thus, in my personal opinion, I have faith that if perhaps one properly apply vasthu (and not allow it to be contaminated with commercialisation); perhaps, it may work even better or similar to Feng Shui. 13. From my personal understanding of both Feng Shui and divinity methods... if one clearly apply several methods e.g. face reading... hand reading... pillars of destiny... majority of the time... if it is done accurately... the end result is quite close.... 14. I always try to or hope to have an open mind and unless the subject has been highly contaminated with commercialisation... Then... we should understand how and for what purpose was it being contaminated... perhaps by unscrupulous persons... Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear TC, You can log-in to www.geomancy-online.com. There is free Flying Star House Number Report for high-rise building in the above site. It should normally be used in conjuction with the Flying Star Analysis: 1. The Flying Star House Number report looks only at vertical slice of a high-rise building where it is assumed that each level of a unit, differs. 2. The Flying Star Analysis takes into consideration only the horizontal analysis. Thus, both should be used instead of just using one method. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Henry, Usually, adding an ancient coin (I believe it is the same as your Yin/Yang coin) or is this a different coin should not be a problem. I understand that some e.g. Buddha stone figurines have been `blessed' and may be considered charms. This may have some effect. For your Yin/Yang coin, so long as it is not being blessed similar to the above, it usually would in my opinion, not pose any problems to the wearer. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- Usually, proper placement of e.g. wind chimes are done after a proper FS analysis has been done. Such as using Flying Star FS. Since, you are using the above tool, you have to:- 1. Examine.. what is your purpose of placing a wind chime? 2. Is it because you heard that placing a Wind Chime is good or suppose to be beneficial or is it because, you found a wind chime that you `love' and would like to place it in you home. 3. If you had found a wind chime that you quite like, usually, one would/may have a mental ideal (before the purchase) of where, one would like it to be placed in the home/room. If your case is similar to Para 3, usually one wind chime may not be harmful. One can always use trial and error and see if there are any effects after a month. But if one's idea is to buy it to enhance one's Feng Shui, then think again. This issue can be quite subjective. Like the idea of a mirror facing the bed, some of us are more `sensitive' to having it while others may not have any problems. One then should check if by turning on the ceiling fan .. does it affect the person or it does not. There is no right or wrong answers to this. In addition, nowadays, ceiling fans are made of various materials e.g. some of the blades are made of plastic while others made of alluminium or even wood. You can use the free tools available at http://www.geomancy-online.com to generate your free Eight House report. A manual report is available at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Lotty, Frankly, with the limited information provided, I am not able to assist you. Overall, what you have mentioned should be related to (without analysis using other FS methods), the rooms should firstly try to conform with Shapes and Form FS. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. The Ngee Ann City has twin towers and is shaped more like a `U' shape to catch wealth. 2. Since there are twin (identical towers) on both sides of the main entrance, it is good to have the water fountain at the centre-point of the frontage. For water flow, it is usually auspicious to have it flow inwards towards the building rather than flowing out (or letting wealth flow out). 3. The reason for the huge distance between the fountain and the main entrance is that since this is quite a large project/development, it is good to have a good balance of a wide frontage or clear space at the front of the building. 4. The two support columns are in pairs and can be considered balanced between the main entrance. 5. Within the building, at the lower basement, there is another set of water falls, (e.g. approximately below the main entrance to redress, your issue or concern that the water point is quite a distance away from the main building. 6. This building or complex thus have water positions at the frontage both outside and inside the building. But never at the back of the building. 7. The symmethrical `U' shaped building acts as a mountain or solid backing for the entire project. Warmest Regards, Cecil

When not to energize a sector
Cecil Lee posted a topic in Flying Star Feng Shui (Xuan Kong Fei Xing)
Dear Tufani, I will try to `answer' the question on why 2 and 5 are considered bad numbers. For the rest of the questions, will answer when I have the time:- 1. #2 and #5 belong to the earth element. 2. One perspective of looking at the numbers #1 ..... to #9 is as follows:- In # numbers, it follows a cycle: From birth ( #1) to Constant struggles ( #2 to #5) and reaping the rewards (#6 to #9). If we look at each of the numbers from the above perspective, we can then understand that like life, these numbers symoblically represent a cycle from birth, struggle, repeaping rewards to death. Thus, if one notice carefully, #2 , #3 , #4 , #5 are considered inauspicious numbers. For examle #3 represents `bad wood'... #2 represents bad earth. The numbers #2, #3, #4, and #5 represent struggle for survival. 3. While the numbers #6, #7 and #8, #9 represent auspiciousness as after having struggled hard (#2 to #5), we then reap the reward of goodness... 4. Following the above, we can understand that #2, #3, #4 and #5 are bad/inauspicious elements. 5. Where #2 - Bad Earth (sickness #) Where #5 - Bad Earth (or deadly yellow or misfortune #). 6. Why is it that #2 and #5 is considered the most `feared' elements? This is because amongst the Five Elements: Water, Wood, Metal, Earth and Fire; EARTH element is constantly `appearing' and constantly strong throughout the year. For example based on the Four Seasons, each of the four elements Water, Wood, Metal and Fire belongs to one of the four seasons. But for the EARTH element? It grows strong between each season: For example:- Spring (In-between) = EARTH element Summer (In-between) = EARTH element Autumn (In-between) = EARTH element Winter (In-between) = EARTh element From the above, you will notice that the EARTH element is considered present most of the time and remain STRONG. Where, other elements for example such as Water (winter) would appear strongest in Winter but weak in other periods. It is because of the STRONG EARTH or the constant appearance of EARTH and with #2 and #5 can create problems. As, there is indeed too much earth element. Therefore, there must be a balance of it. Warmest Regards, Cecil -
Dear Anon, Last hear, I saw a documentary where for example, some British hospitals have adopted acupuncture inconjunction with western medicines. I understand that many years back gingseng plant has been cultivated in US and this has medicinal properties. Nowadays, when we Chinese go to a Chinese herbal shop, we can easily ask for the cheaper US ginseng. In fact, if one goes to a Chinese hospital today, many traditional herbs are used. It goes down to the root of Yin and yang concept. Where, for example, each ailment can be explained as being too yang or too yin. In such a situation, a remedy or herbs which can be classified into yin or yang is prescribed. (What I mentioned here is kinda brief... but roughly, it gives an idea that Chinese medicine is rooted on Yin and Yang concept). I understand from various commentaries that many western doctors are now begining or have already studied many of the herbs used in Chinese medicine and have since applied them. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, For a better understanding of the importance of the rice urn, we can look at `moving into a new house':- 1. For Chinese who follow traditional practises, rice is one of the items that are brought in during the symbolic move-in to a new home. 2. Some of the customs of moving into a house varies with the Chinese. 3. This is one of the `type of' ceremony when one moves into the house:- 3.1. Prior to moving into a new home, an auspicious date and time is first chosen. 3.2. On the day of the move: 3.2.1. The owner opens the main door. In some instances, a pineapple is rolled into the house. (A pineapple, e.g. to the Hokkien (Chinese Dialect group) represents "ONG" or to prosper. A lighted charcoal stove is next brought into the home and placed at the centre-point of the house. This symbolises, warmth in the home. A bag of RICE, sugar and salt is next brought in. Since RICE is a stable food of the Chinese, the significance is that a full packet of rice symbolically represent abundance of food (rice). Following this, it is true that many Chinese belief that it would be best not to have an empty rice urn. At least when it goes down to 1/4 full, try to replenish it as soon as possible. I shall not go on with the rest of the `moving-in' ceremony but to highlight just this portion of the `rice urn'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kenny, Generally, these are another way to look at the various elements in relation to your life:- Simply it is good to have friends as they often means people or things which helps you along the way providing you additional support and encouragement. Most likely all users are more interested in the Wealth as such the reports focus more on this area. Generally, if you encounter for example lots of Earned Wealth and Unexpected Wealth in your Luck Pillars or throughout your life based on (Water) elements, it means that you are given lots of opportunities to gain wealth. Whether or not you succeed thus depends on whether youa re a strong Earth person. On the other hand, if for example you see lots of competitions in your luck pillars etc, it could mean that you will face lots of competitions etc. Similiarly, the rest of the deities are often used this way but as usually most a interested in the Wealth area. Hope that answers some of your queries. I try to explain the above in areas you can relate to. Hopefully you understand my meaning. Warmest Regards Cecil

Dear Henry, If you are doing an analysis, it is good to consider analysing the `different' results obtained if your main door is at the back or your actual main door. Usually, the frontage of the house is looked at. Here, standing outside the home or from either the front of the house or the back, check to see which is the brightest.. usually this is done in the morning or up to noon (12.00pm). 1. In many cases, the frontage is where you have your frontdoor or the door to the garage on nearly the same `face'. 2. If your back door is really at the back of the house, it is quite difficult to consider this as your main door. For purposes of FS audit, using say the Flying Star, usually, the front door is still used. 3. But if your backdoor, opens up to a nice `frontage', (where it is bright)... you can certainly consider this as your front door. A house aligned North to South / South to North is an acceptable configuration. In terms of preferrence (without considering other audit methods); a North-South oriented house is a `better' choice than say a E-W or W-E facing house. But, I hope one understand that this is just a general statement. For the `T-junction'; it is best to: 1. Stand at the main entrance and look out of the house. If it is not in direct path of your main door, then, may not need to place a Ba gua mirror. Check the window(s). If the window, does not face it, again a Ba Gua mirror may not be needed. Many practitioners are of the opinion that Ba Gua mirror may not be as effective. In my opinion, especially if one is in the west, and where the belief in taoism, buddhism is less apparent, the significance of the Ba Gua mirror (since the belief may not be there)... I am not sure how much frontage there is in the home, but planting plants along the fence of if you have a brick fence, would be a better option. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Alex, In general, toilet positions at true compass directions including a toilet directly at the North East are considered inauspicious. For example, in building a new home, it would be ideal not to situate the toilet directly at true compass directions such as e.g. 0 degrees - North; 45 degrees - North East; 90 degrees - East and at SE, South, SW, West & NW. One reason is because, the Compass School of Feng Shui places significance to such directions where, each Gua or Kua (Trigram) is located. Where best, the toilet is situated away from these degrees. A more accurate situation is not to locate them especially/particularly the toilet bowl, at 15 degrees increment to coincide with the 24 directions of the Flying Star. Under the Flying Star, there are 24 directions and in 15 degree increments. For those who have used the online Flying Star chart can see that for doing an analysis, one has to say select the main entrance door from a choice of 24 directions. Toilet has water and because of this, has to be treated differently from e.g. the rest of the rooms. (A kitchen where there is fire and water is also looked at from other rulesets). Water coupled by the toilet which usually has some ventilation and a door are both generally considered YIN elements. Thus, one can try to make it MORE yang to counter balance the YIN in this `room'. Thus because of the above reasoning, it would be nice not to situate the toilet at NE. Since, NE is the devil's gate and of the Yin element. PLease note that the above `observations' does not take into consideration other factors or readings done using other FS methods such as say using Flying Star. If under Flying Star, and there are indeed helped by concentration of YANG stars and base numbers, this would greatly help in balancing the `too yin' environment that I had talked about. Usually, it is best then to keep the toilet dry and clean and if possible `bright' as opposed to dark and close the door when not in use. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Frankly.. do take note that I am a male.. so I hope not to offer bias information but, hope to be as objective (as possible):- 1. Traditionally, many of the FS practitioners are male (in a typical male dominated country). It is not uncommon in the past for man rather than female to do such work. 2. Frankly, the original Feng Shui is not focused so narrowly at just the home or the interior of the home. Where perhaps, it would `rightly; be the domain of a female. 3. In the past, when we talk about Feng Shui, it is usually analysis based on very large projects such as an entire city or area of habitat. Not just narrowly focused to today's idea of the interior of the home. 4. Usually, it is not so much of male or female intuition but what one is best at: Shapes and Form FS (more towards form) or Compass School (more mathematical) Thus it would depend more on one's inclination to the above. 5. It is my personal belief that it depends on the individual : which is either a male or female party... A female or male FS practitioner if they are competent enough could equally do the proper job. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Further to what I had mentioned earlier:- 1. Usually there is no major impact on the placement of metal wind chimes other finding a family member sleeping close to it could perhaps have nightmares. 2. It is the belief that nightmares are usually cased by playful imps, and in some cases cause nightmares especially if metal wind chimes are used (in the West, NW - which are the metal element sectors). Because, of the time element, where, if one place a wind chime at a particular sector, utimately there can be a situation where, there could be perhaps too much imbalance of the metal element at a sector... and it could cause the above. One can chart this out say using tools such as Flying Star analysis, say by day analysis. Usually with certainty.. where at certain day and time... there may be a large concentration of either too yin elements falling at a particular sector which usually may attract these playful imps... 3. Another area is the North East (devil's gate) or SW (devil's backdoor) where especially again if there is at a certain period where too much yin elements congregate or during the dreaded `seventh lunar' month... metallic vibrations or tune could invarably attract a ghost or spirit into the home. 4. The above concept lies with the idea that for the Buddhist or Toaist... using bells etc... are used to attract the dead. This is evident in the Chinese rites that are performed for the dead. This is where someone died and religious cremony is done to `call' the dead.. from say their home to their resting place.... using such metal sounds... 5. Majority of the time, many people are still lucky when using metal such as wind chimes. As metal is still the widely used `cure' or preventive cure in curing both the dreaded bad wood element and bad earth element. It is thru pure unluckness that one may occassional place such items at the wrong place and the wrong time. Usually, this is done when, one used two or more wind chimes at various locations thus instead of providing the `lucky' cure.. it attracts the wrong time of `help'.... one up here for the ghostly spirit....usually this is bad luck... One has to remember that too much or `over eating.. FS can give one indigestion.. or ever a severe stomach ache... Warmest Regards, Cecil Warmest Regards, Cecil In the Feng Shui Tips and Tricks, what I mean is that when placing a wind chime, especially if it is a metallic wind chime, one must be especially cautious if placed in locations of the general metal element such as NW or West. Two other locations such as NE (devil's main gate) and SW (devil's back door) must also be noted. It is not that one must not place it there but rather, take care especially if no FS audit has been conducted. Usually, this is done in relation to the Flying Star analysis to ensure that there is a balance at this sector. The chime is hanging from the roof just outside the glass sliding windows. We hardly ever hear it tinkle because the windows stay shut on one side. Do I remove it at once? Frankly, if it serves no purpose and since it hardly tinkle: this is considered good and bad. Good because, being ever hardly tinkle, usually the metallic tinkle is not heard at all and thus, it is not activated. "Bad", hmm.. since a full audit has not been conducted... not sure if there is an imbalance caused with it but usually, since it is of the metal element... it is much better than using other elements that may cause an imbalance. In SE-S-SW is my bedroom. A feng shui consultant had advised me to keep a yellow coloured mud pot in the SW corner ? I had been feeling very upset about my parents and he said that this would give stability. Please advise. I personally feel that this advise is not related to Traditional FS advise, unless the consultant has related it to the sector and can mention that since the yellow coloured mud pot (which in my opinion represents) earth element is used to counter another element which is causing an imbalance. I.e. yellow (earth)is thus used to counter such an imbalance. I take this more as a `decoration' since, usually such a small quantity may not give an impact to the location. Also, the SW part of my house (according to the bagua, this would be the fame area) is totally missing. Should this be a worry? I have read stuff about putting a red light in the missing area to energise it. Is this true? Under the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui, the significance of a missing area can be seen from the following:- http://www.geomancy.net/fs/building.htm You have to properly determine whether indeed is it a real missing corner:- 1. It should normally be more than 1/3 or 33.3 percent of the area of a sector. 2. One should confirm whether instead of it being a missing corner.. could it be a protrusion? The significance under the Shapes and Form School of SW which is not fame corner but rather... constant bad luck... occuring ... 3. Usually, mirrors are placed on each side of the wall to give the illusion of extending it. Warmest Regards, Cecil Thanks & regards. P.S. By mistake, I posted the above in the 'Conference for Layouts' also.

Dear Kathy, 1. Primarily, under Shapes and Form FS, check to see that the centre of the home (where possible) should be one where there is clear space. 2. For the fire-place, ideally it should be located where one wall is occupying an external wall. This is the same concept of a toilet where, one wall should preferably be an external wall. This would `prevent' the fire-place being in the centre of the house. It may depend on the size of the house. 3. If you are looking at asthetics to consider whether your house is balanced, it is quite difficult (I believe) to achieve since it is difficult or near impossible to move your fire-place. 4. Basically for windows, the main thing is to make sure that there are no poison arrows aimed at it from external i.e. or any external threats to it. 5. For the two windows, so long as they are proportionate to the size of the wall i.e. the exterior surface of the wall (where the windows should not occupy more than 33.3 percent of the area of the wall, it is acceptable. Even if it does not coincide with or in between the fire-place. 6. Although the fire-place is not a predominant feature of Feng Shui or less information on it; we should in our understanding of it (in relation to Feng Shui) as near equivalent to the concepts underlining the kitchen stove. 7. Here, it is because in China, fire-place is not as common than say the fire (from the kitchen)... however, if you can apply certain key principles of the stove, this should be acceptable:- 7.1. A commonsense concept is that the stove (or fire-place) should have a solid backing i.e. a wall. This is where there should not be say a window on the same face... A window at this place for a fire-place is defintely not feasible even by commonsense... 7.2. Ideally, the fire-place (like the stove) should not face the main entrance (directly). Since, fire can easily be `extinguished' or warmth... easily moved out... 7.3. Where possible the fire-place should not be at a corner of a house but at least occupy 1/3 of a wall. Best if it is at the centre of (as u mentioned) balanced between two walls on each side... (really nice to have)... But of course subject to certain building constraints such as having a door on the same wall as the fire place or an opening .... The above, are some of the concepts of a general locale of a fire-place that I can currently think of. I would feel that what u mentioned, perhaps, may not be that serious after all. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kaushal, In a particular FS belief, usually a painting of horses are placed next to an entrance. It can be 6 horses or 8 horses. Sometimes 9 horses. The above belief is that horses or stallion are symbollically one galloping out to get business for the company or firm. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Julie, In my opinion, fraction of a street address is usually secondary.. to having a a life of struggle. Usually, other aspects of the home especially the external environment, the site and the home needs to be investigated. Alternatively, the house may not be considered suitable to the individual. I sincerely belief that there are other explanations. You can do the prelimary:- 1. Look out of your main entrance and all windows in the house to look for any poison arrows aimed at the windows / entrance - if any. 2. Use the Eight House theory to see how suitable the house is to you. You can perhaps start from the above first. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Miriam, Compass school FS can be quite confusing: 1. In the past, where many people are not as knowledgeable of FS as today, some practitioners can simply get away with just practising one form of FS. 2. In my country, even today, there are FS practitioners who: 2.1 Practise only the Eight House or Easterners and Westerners or 4 good or 4 bad directions FS. 2.2. Some FS practitioners who prefer mathematics side or (for some) can only relate in terms of the mathematics e.g. #4 #5 etc... 2.3. Many FS practitioners simply use Shapes and Forms. 2.4. Some FS practitioners practise the Compass School i.e. Eight House with Flying Star. While others practise this with Shapes and Form. 3. In your case, it is good to know the specific purpose of the Easterner and Westerner (4 good and 4 bad directions) as to ... where one spents most time at the location. Other than this, you can put the above aside and use the Flying Star theory. 4. In a proper use of Flying Star, actually the three: mountain # water # base # are first compared For example: 3 2 5 Looks like there is bad wood 3; bad earth 2 and bad earth 5 at a specific sector. Usually, metal element can help to cure this sector. Next, look at in your case the month star # If the month star is #5, for example one should continue to neutralise the sector with metal e.g. big metal or 6 coins in a string. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jodi, Perhaps, you can use a paint program to draw a simple outline of the layout plan and the location of the counter. And what category of goods are you selling also. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear David, In general, it is good to understand the purpose of the eight house theory:- 1. The Eight House theory is usually used to look at locations where one spent the most time at. Thus, it is good that your sleeping direction is excellent. However, primary importance is given to the location where you spent most time at. Only after this has been looked at should one look at sleeping facing a good direction. 2. Spook is not as favourable but not as bad as death or disaster intangible force. 3. To find out how suitable the house is to a person, you can also look at the intangible force affecting the main entrance door sector. 4. Good facing directions. Sit facing a good direction. The above is generally, what the Eight House Theory can be used for. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Thank you for providing the information. In the five element concept, fire strengthen earth element. Since the car is generally made of metal, this forms a triple combination and in effect, is acceptable in your situation i.e. red/maroon car. In addition, since the current 10 year luck period is of the metal element, the colour of the car i.e. red/maroon has no impact on you. However, if the period is inauspicious, then do less with this colour. Ideally, in the future, a good colour is gold or white (metal element) but since this period has already enough metal element, the above is ok. Warmest Regards, Cecil
