Dear Anon, 1. One method to address this situation is to position the ancestor tablet to the left of the table when facing the altar, ensuring that the table is slightly lower than the deity located on the right. 2. Historically, some individuals have constructed a niche directly above the refrigerator to accommodate their ancestor tablet. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Steven, The two most common metal `cures' are: 1. The six coins which represent `Big Metal'. 2. Some other Feng Shui practitioners sell a brass / copper `Feng Shui ruler'. Because of the content of `metal' in it, these practitioners want you to buy it. To them, it is the equivalent of `Big metal.' As the `life sized' ruler is indeed made of metal, one cannot argue that it is not a `metal' - cure. Since it is like the size of a normal ruler, it contains quite alot of metal. 3. The Bells if they are made of metal can be considered `metal' but to the extend; it is difficult to say if it represents `Big metal' or not. In a previous posting, I mentioned that bells have a significance during a ceremony for the dead. The Chinese belief that ringing the bell during the funeral procession allows the person's spirit to be guided e.g. to his/her new home e.g. a new grave. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. Some `Western Traditional' School of Feng Shui particularly those who practise Flying Star Theory have concern about the rotation of a metallic fan. To them, it circulates metal and their concern is that if a sector is out of balance and if metal is the catalyst, this is a `concern'. 2. In my opinion, looking at the commonsense approach to Feng Shui: Nowadays, many fans no longer have metal blades. And even if the blades are metallic does not mean that it generates `metal'. In view of the above, I personally feel that there should not be any cause for concern over the use of fans. I believe that they are a cheap and economical method of cooling a house. Thus providing comfort to a home. If one were to bring in the argument of air-conditioner, it does have rotary blades even if it is usually plastic and the cooling element is metallic. So, there will always be `arguments' as to its effects. For the fan no one has proven conclusively that it is either good, bad or is neutral. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Carina, Where possible, place plants especially on both sides of the balcony. If the plants flower this would be `great.' For cactus, you can still place them in the balcony. Although it has been frequently mentioned that it is not auspicious to do so. Do so, if you really liked them else, where possible (in my opinion) try not to `use' them if you can. For a balcony, so long as it is within the house, it can be considered in the living area especially if you have sliding doors and immediately get to see it. Frankly, placing cactus is quite a subjective issue. For some people who are not aware of Feng Shui, in my opinion, so far, I do not see any ill effects on them..Back to the drawing board? Warmest Regards, Cecil

As this is quite interesting and commonly found on supermarket shelfs. I believe some of produce have been known to help in certain cases... So here goes...

All Chinese refer their birthdays to the Chinese Lunar Calendar. As the word `Lunar' suggests, it can also be called the Chinese MOON Calendar. It is easy to know when is the start of each month or the start of Chinese New Year. For example, Chinese New Year is when if you peer towards the sky (in a clear day) and when there is a FULL MOON, it is more likely either the 15th of the Lunar Month or the First day of a new Chinese Month. This is also the rationale why there are 15 DAYS in a CHINESE NEW YEAR.

Dear Cheui May, I am glad that things have improved slightly for you. Please monitor and let me know as your case need attention. Yes, priority should be to neutralise a poison arrow if possible. Or move away from it. The above takes precedence over sleeping in an auspicious sector. Take care! Warmest Regards, Cecil
