Staff Cecil Lee Posted January 27, 2004 Staff Share Posted January 27, 2004 Dear Regina,Thanks for taking the effort to post a picture:)I just have to open the picture file and do a quick scan of your message. This has a higher chance of getting a reply!Often, such a corner has a small "poison arrow" foot print. Looks like, this is a minor issue IF:1. Your sofa or sitting position is not directly at this "point" (currenly masked by the plant).2. Even if so, such a corner does not have the type of sha qi force of a corner home aimed at e.g. one's home.3. For such a corner, in my opinion, the sha qi is minor:if the corner is entirely made of concrete, the impact zone is approximately 1 metre or less. If the corner is made of wood, I would place the sha qi as 2 feet or less.4. So, it seems that your sofa or someone sitting close to it has already past this safety zone. I believe, the impact is up to the brick raised platform.5. To determine whether a plant can be at this location or not, often, from a Shapes and Forms perspective, it is OK. (No harm to place one there).If the consideration is under Flying Star Feng Shui, then if the sector has one or more #3 or #4, then, it may not be necessarily good to place a plant there.Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 1/27/2004 5:32:14 PM, Anonymous wrote:Dear Master Lee:As you can see from theattached photo, our fireplacesends a serious poison arrowto anyone sitting in its path.I have temporarily disguisedit with a plant.

myfs_98354 Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Dear Master Lee:As you can see from the attached photo, our fireplace sends a serious poison arrow to anyone sitting in its path. I have temporarily disguised it with a plant. (I obviously have to go get a tall silk plant to disguise the whole thing.) Is a plant on a fireplace a problem, as wood fuels fire? We have a mirror over the fireplace, representing the water element. The stars in the room (the center) are 1, 7, 4. Is there a conflict there with the plant?If the plant is a completely bad idea, are there other things that can be used, such as a statue, and, if so, what element would be most compatible?

Staff Cecil Lee Posted January 28, 2004 Staff Share Posted January 28, 2004 Dear Regina,With the star numbers mentioned, it is OK to place a plant to mask the poison arrow.Honestly, from your picture, and given that your sofa is a distance away, I personally think that there is no threat from the fire-place. It is not like one is sitting next to it. From the picture, the distance is somewhat like 1 metre away (the sofa).Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 1/28/2004 3:12:50 AM, Anonymous wrote:Dear Master Lee:As you can see from theattached photo, our fireplacesends a serious poison arrowto anyone sitting in its path.I have temporarily disguisedit with a plant.
