Where should wall clocks be placed?

Dear Cecil,
I've read in books that wall clocks should only be placed on adjacent walls to the door or on the same wall as the door. Does that mean that placing it on the opposite wall to the door is bad Feng Shui?

Dear Betty,
The most important thing to remember is not to place a wall clock above a
door. Preferably, it should be placed at a location of activity e.g. close
to the Television set or Hi Fi. (it can be above it).
Another thing to note is that a grandfather clock is a better `subsitute'
for a windchime. A few days ago, I tried counting my neighour's bungalow
house. I counted at least nine different types of windchimes outside the
west `wing' of the house (or the back door area). It so happens that this is
also the WEST side of the house or the YIN side.
Most likely, the lady who stayed there became insane because of the
windchime. Personally, I would like to help but there again, if we are not
invited to do a FS audit, I personally feel that I should not interfere.
Another `scary' reason is that often she would carry a camera and take
pictures of the entire neighbourhood including my home and often she would
chase the person who looks at her. This reason is good enough to deter me
from `helping'.
I hope you see the point not to overdo `Feng Shui'. Here, we call it fast
food feng shui or extreme self-cures
Sorry for the diverting the subject but I like to bring this point to
highlight real issues that face us if we start doing too many things.
The only other Taboo is if you have done a Flying Star assessment, if two
particulars stars meet and indicate that the location needs to be kept
quiet, then do not place the wall clock at this particular location.
Remember: I mentioned, a clock = activity.
This is not Feng Shui but Chinese custom: not to give a clock as a present
to someone else.
Hope that helps.
Cecil
