Hello I need to completely renovate the kitchen of this house I bought. The kitchen takes up the entire east side of the house. The house faces west (slightly SW), originally built in 1907. The renovation will include painting, new cabinets, and moving the sink from E to NE. Is this a good year to do this? The renovations are urgently needed and I would like to have them done within the next two months. Any advice? Any bad stars in the East? Thank you

Hello Further below there was some advice about not having fish in the center of the house. I have read that it's acceptable to place an aquarium along the East side of the living room, if the east side of the building itself is not suitable for this. The place on the East side of my living room is also the middle of the groundfloor of the house. Is this very bad? Mostly, the center of the home is clear and open (living room and hall) except for this aquarium, a large plant and some pottery. What is the problem with having the aquarium there? Should I move it? Chris

Dear Cecil Thank you for your kind reply. This is all very frustrating. I read so much about FS, trying to cut through the New Age nonsense and stay with the basics, but even then I find out I'm way out in left field. Frankly, I'm ready to close the book on Feng Shui and not give it another thought. From your reply, I would think that unless I set out to become an expert at traditional Feng Shui and learn about Flying Stars and all sorts of things I will have no other options but to spend a lot of money every year and hire someone to do this for me. If these stars change all the time, should one constantly change furniture, sleeping positions, rooms, walls, fences, roads, houses, rivers, roads, just to stay reasonably successful? Why do some people have good luck all the time? Why do some people have bad luck all the time? Surely sometimes your luck is good, sometimes not if these stars keep bouncing from one place to another, causing trouble. Why do people even bother printing all these books and putting up all these web sites when, in the end, no one is sure about anything happening in any part of one's house unless one pays a consultant (who isn't likely to agree with any other consultant)? I'm sorry for sounding frustrated but I most certainly am at this point. There doesn't seem to be any straight-forward way for the average person to create good Feng Shui. Would it not be good enough to simply create a home that is pleasant, airy, bright and harmonious and leave it at that? Quiss

Hello The master bedroom is the NW sector of the second floor of this house. It is panelled in pine boards halfway up the walls. The effect is quite pleasant and the whole room is very comfortable and pleasant, nicely decorated. I sleep very well in there. However, since NW is metal element, is the wood panelling in this room harming "mentor luck" for this home? To make matters worse, part of the NW sector on the main floor is a toilet (small, pleasant room). What can I do to encourage helpful mentors in my life? At this time, I need some help with some projects for the house, rather than career luck. This help has been promised, but is slow to materialize. Q.

I am about to buy a house that has very good Feng Shui EXCEPT that the front door is not a good direction for me (breadwinner). It faces West. I am kua 4 female. There is no alternate door (side door also faces west). The bedroom I plan to use is in the W and NW corner (also not good) but I plan to sleep with my head pointing either East or South. Will this, along with other auspicious Feng Shui in the rest of the house make up for that West door? This really is a very good purchase. Are there any remedies I can use to make things better? Hope you can help - I have to decide within the next 48 hours! Quiss
