Health/Excel line indented, bed in wrong position

[Hannah]

Dear Cecil,
We were not aware of Feng Shui (FS) when we bought our apartment. Since then, we have had miscarriages more that once (checked no medical reason) and still no children. Then we started to look at FS.
My husband's main door is facing NW while mine faces NE(husband = strong Earth; me = strong Fire). Our rather new 3-year-old apt has a SE main door, inauspicious for both of us. The SW corner of this house is also indented and has 2 toilets located there.
Our master bedroom is situated in SW sector of the house (husband = Health; me = Excellence), with an attached toilet in its SW. I?ve drawn the layout in .JPG for your reference. My husband sleeps nearer to the bedroom door. A friend told me that it is extremely inauspicious to place a bed against the toilet wall. Do you agree?
With this layout, none of us is sleeping in our Good locations. The only way we can reposition is to shift the bed to the East wall which is also a Bad location for both of us. We intend to buy a bigger more comfortable bed, but whether placing it in the South or East will render one side of the bed against the wall. With 2 sides of the room having fixed cabinets and general space constraint, what would you suggest to improve our situation? Thank you very much for your kind assistance in advance.
Best Regards,
Hannah

Dear Cecil,
have had miscarriages more
that once (checked no medical
reason) and still no children.
Then we started to look at FS.
My husband's main door is
facing NW while mine faces
NE(husband = strong Earth; me
= strong Fire). Our rather new
3-year-old apt has a SE main
door, inauspicious for both of
us. The SW corner of this
house is also indented and has
2 toilets located there.
Our master bedroom is situated
in SW sector of the house
(husband = Health; me =
Excellence), with an attached
toilet in its SW. I?ve drawn
the layout in .JPG for your
reference. My husband sleeps
nearer to the bedroom door. A
friend told me that it is
extremely inauspicious to
place a bed against the toilet
wall. Do you agree?

Thanks for your graphic file. It is very clear.
Yes, it is very inauspicious to place the bed on the same wall as the toilet. Furthermore, on the stretch of your master bedroom, there are two sets of toilets. This is extremely bad qi.
There is another `problem'. As you mentioned that the house main door is facing South-East which is the wood element, overall, this house is considered a Wood house.
Under the Five elements concept, Wood fuels or feed fire. As you mentioned that you are a strong Fire person, this additional wood element further ignites your strong Fire person creating further imbalance. This would explain the problem that you face.
Similarly your husband would face some "problems" because although the SE house is Wood element which is good for him, the Wood element at South East is called a `small wood' or equvalent of a `plant'.
You are thus affected because you are already a strong fire and a even small wood can affect you.
The first thing both of you could seriously consider is to shift the bed towards the opposite side of the room. Even if there is a door, this will be much better than having your bed against the toilet wall.
In Feng Shui, we have to look at the two `evils' and if one is less damaging, go for this `cure'. However, you can always have a low linen cabinet between the bed or a small screen or even a bedside table and place a table lamp. This is symbolic of a screen between the bedroom door and your bed.
I have not checked but see if in this position, you can sleep facing one of your good directions.

Currently my analysis takes into account the Eight House and Shapes and Form School as I do not know much about your home in relation to the Flying Star. But overall, from what I can suggest:-
1. It is much much better to place the bed away from the wall of the toilets. Furthermore, at this side of the wall, there are two toilets. The qi from this two toilets on the `left' side of the graphic file can have quite an impact on that side of the wall.
2. Where possible, try to close the master bedroom toilet door when not in use. At the same time, try to keep the toilet bright and airy.
3. You are a strong Fire element and the house is a wood element house. You should further balance your strong Fire element with Earth.
Water and Metal.
In terms of relationships, your husband when he is around will help you reduce the strong Fire. But in terms of `cures', for your home, you need more water and metal.
This is because water exhausts fire and will reduce your strong fire and hopefully control or balance it.
At the same time, metal will help your husband to balance his strong earth. Metal will help water and inturn help water to `destroy' your excess fire.
Overall, you can use:
1. colours
2. anything symbolic of water or metal element.
If you are using colours, the ideal colour for your home (whole house) is white representing the metal element. For your room it can be white with e.g. bedsheet of blue, grey or shades of black representing water element.
The above are ideal colours and it is only a suggestion. If your house is not in the above colours, do not spent money (as it is never my intention for anyone to spent money but rather to explain what is overall best for you in the future should you decide to paint the house).
Avoid the colour Red, pink or purple especially in your bedroom. This applies to you. For your husband, avoid yellow colour or beige colour representing Earth element. If your home is painted yellow throughout, in the future, I suggest, white is the best colour for both of you.
Colours can also apply in your dressing.
More importantly, currently, the most important thing is to see if you could redress the bedroom area. As I mentioned, you could alternatively use white or blue, grey bedsheet.
Do feedback further on the above or provide me a description of the colour scheme in your home if it is not any of the above.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Cecil,
Thank you so much for taking time to reply my queries.
We have considered your suggestion of shifting the bed to opposite side of the room. This may be too costly for us at the moment since on the opposite side of the room we have some fixed (built-in) wardrobe and shelves, if you have noticed from my drawing. We would have to hire carpenters to rebuild these wardrobes if we were to shift them because they were initially built with the intention of covering the unsightly almost-one-foot beam on whole stretch of this wall.
In my previous e-mail, I mentioned the possibility of shifting the bed to the wall adjacent to the toilet wall, the other only available wall in the room. This means that the headboard will be on the same wall as the door. This will also render one side of the bed against the toilet wall. Both of us will also NOT be sleeping in our good positions (husband = Death, me = Disaster). Is this worse than placing the bed on the same wall as the toilet? This difficult question has caused me to ponder whether to shift the bed. Please advise us further.
Also, just to let you know that the ceramic floor tiles throughout the living/dining room and our bedrooms are white with faint gray patterns (like marble flooring) on them. The reason why we have never considered painting the house white is that, with the white tiles the whole house would look too ghastly. The living/dining room is painted the colour of lavender whereas our master bedroom is painted peach and the rest of the rooms are in very light green. Any comments?
Are green plants (Wood) bad for both of us because we do have several live and artificial plants(inside) both inside and outside the house?
Thanks a lot!
Best Regards,
Hannah
