Which is the LOVE corner

[Alexander]

I'm looking to activate the love/romance
corner of my house. But the books on
feng shui I've read are conflicting.
One says it is the SW corner of the
apartment. The other book says I should
go in the front door and walk to the
farthest right corner of the apartment and
then THAT is the love/romance corner.
Right now I'm trying to activate both
areas, but which is correct? I'm
really hoping that a relationship will
work out for me. I've met someone
I'm interested in, but really am unsure
about it right now. Hopefully feng shui
can help give me the right energy so that
things go well.
Thanks.

Dear Alex,
1. Under the Eight Aspiration or Life/Eight Associations concept, the Trigram at South West signifies `romance'.
Unfortunately, the implication is that it is universally aplicable to everyone i.e. for 1 person, a dozen person, 100,000 persons, 1 million, 1 billion etc...
2. Usually, it is so `universal', and considered applicable to "everyone", it becomes statistically not workable for people, the more, more of us use it.
3. Even theories based on Shapes and Form are `personalised' to a house.
For example, not all houses are at a cul-de-sac. Thus not influenced by such factors.
Similarly, only houses with poison arrows aimed at it, needs a `cure'.
4. Thus based on the above reasoning, not all South West sector can be considered the `romance sector'.
I have mentioned in a recent forum message that under the Flying Star theory, it has also it's interpretation of `romance' sector.
5. I believe the book that recommends that the romance corner is to walk to the further right corner, (I suspect) is not a vaild Traditional Feng Shui book.
6. So where do you go from here?
Feng Shui is a holistic approach involving many theories.
In my opinion, many have taken the wrong approach in trying to `concentrate' hard on just a "sector".
Instead, it is like health, one should instead keep an all round fitness, not just develop muscles on one arm. Here, what is the use of flabby stomach, heavy legs etc...
7. For the house, I entioned in a recent message that it is like a ship. If there are small holes in the ship, one should not instead dress up the top. Eventually, if the small hole is not plugged, the ship will sink and the captain will sink with it.
It is thus always best to do a full Feng Shui audit and do it rite:)
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.
Now comes the problem of finding someone
to give me a feng shui audit in Tokyo.
I can't find anyone to do it. Any ideas?
Any connections here in Tokyo?
I'm really interested in getting advice
from a professional, but don't know where
to go here in Japan.
Thanks,
Alex

Dear Alex,
Frankly, I am not familiar with the Feng Shui consultants in Tokyo.
Are there in the yellow pages or `word of mouth.'
Usually, quite alot of Feng Shui practitioners I understand in Japan uses 9-Star Ki (both popular in UK also).
As mentioned, 9-Star Ki and Traditional Feng Shui (or Flying Star is identical). However, the way it is done differs and thus, it is not advisable to `mix' the two as you may get different results.
Either you follow 9-Star Ki or Flying Star.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
