Dear Wendy, Based on Feng Shui guidelines, there is a difference between `building' a house and finding a good date or year to build a house. Let me elaborate: You can usually find a good date in the year 2000 as there are 365 days in a year and even if it is in December 1999, you can still find a good date the next year. Another point is that Chinese New Year does not follow the English New year. For those who are very new to Feng Shui, please take note that when we discuss Chinese New Year, in short it is CNY or for this year Earth-Rabbit, Chinese New Year is from 16 Feb 1999 to 4 Feb 2000. Here you will notice that Chinese New Year 1999 only ends on 4th February 2000. Therefore, it is wise not to offend the Grand Duke up to 3 February 2000 on the East side of the house. To be frank, in Singapore or Malaysia, it is easier to find a Feng Shui Master to look at your project and majority are able to provide you with professional advise : 1. the date of starting the construction. 2. the survey of the site, land and layout. In your case, I am not sure you can find an a true Traditional Expert. The expert even looks at the type of sand on your construction site etc... Anyway, what you can do is:- 1. Apply the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui for the site and the land e.g. using the Four Symbolic Animal concept url: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/four.htm 2. Eight House theory e.g. where best try to avoid the death and disaster line on the main entrance or bedroom. But priority goes to Para 1. 3. Pillars of Destiny 4. Flying Star I am unable to list out more situations. You have to understand that you can invariably find a suitable date and it does not mean that Year 2000 is a good or bad year for construction. To refresh some users memory, do take a look at this url: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/lunar.htm What is the significance of seeing this table? You will be glad to know that we are now in Period 7 and onwards. So you may ask `what is the big deal' about it? Period 1 refers to the birth of a new period; Period 2 to 5 are one of the worst periods because as you are aware, No. 2 and 5 are bad Flying Star periods and it could account for World wars etc... What is so significant about Period 6, 7, 8 and 9. In general, these `Stars' are considered Auspicious because, after all the toll in Period 1 to 5, the generation under period 6, 7, 8 and 9 reap the `so called ' rewards (in general). This is similar to some business. For example, the grandfather build a business, it grows from a retail to a wholesale business (PERIOD 1 TO 5), the son takes over, inturn, he enjoys the fruits (PERIOD 6, 7, 8 AND 9) but after his lifetime, his son perhaps overspends and what happens? This company may go into bankruptcy and returns to Period 1. The Nine Stars 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 goes in a circle. Therefore, what I am mentioning is that most houses according to the Luo Shu or Flying Star numerology implies that number 6 to 9 are `better' periods than 1 to 5. Again this is just a general summary. You still have to be careful because no matter how, each house will still have to content with the Flying Stars of 2 and 5 (x2) as the mountain and water stars each have a 2 or 5.

Hi, I like to add a few words on this subject:- 1. As most users here are aware, the tearing down of a building complex to turn it into a public park is a very Feng Shui move. If you can recall, the front of the house or office building should be " flat " ie. under the Four Symbolic Animal concept, the front is the `phoenix' which signifies it flies freely in open space. Similiarly, the Bright Hall is also called another term i.e. Ming Tang. Traditional practise, you will find a pool (not stagnant water) in front of the building. It is usually semi circular i.e. radiating away from the building. This is why sometimes, if you have a poision arrow aimed at your main entrance, I advise some of the users to lay a circular carpet on their front door radiating outwards. This is the same concept as above. Alternatively, if the front door is elevated, you can use semi-circular steps. All these are considered `neutral' or Feng Shui friendly or environmentally friendly or " White " Feng Shui. " Black " or offensive Feng Shui uses the Ba Gua mirror above the door. The most offensive is to use a cannon e.g. same as those olden cannons on the ships to deflect outwards. I have mentioned sometime back that in Singapore, two neighbour's doors are within 1 meter facing each other. I was doing an Audit then and I noticed that one neighbour used the Bagua Mirror and I believe, the other neighbour used another reflective mirror to deflect the `sha'. As you can see, it is not equally good for both house holds. Like magic or sorcery (oops Feng Shui is not any of these!)..... We can add abit of language in this Forum by calling Environmentally Friendly Feng Shui -- White Feng Shui and Offensive Feng Shui -- Black Feng Shui:) I believe, the metal huge globe is to slow down the `disruptive sha' at the junction. Please remember that under the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui, modern watercourses have been replaced by roads which is the equalvent of water element in modern times.

There are many reasons for it, some on Feng Shui and others too. However, as we don't not know much about it, we cannot really comment on it.

Hi, This past question posted in the forum and available at this URL: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/ruler.htm will help you to understand the `Imperial Chinese Ruler' and how it is used or not used today:- Question: have a set of antique furniture which was given by my mum. I measured the furniture and it fits the good measures of the Feng Shui Ruler. Is this good? Can you also elaborate more on the Feng Shui Ruler? Yes most `true' antique furnitures (Chinese influence) do have a set of measurements that follows the Feng Shui ruler. As the furniture was given by your mum (to confirm: from her home?) if so, it is OK. For other antique furniture that you want to purchase, where possible check it's origin. This is because it is said that furnitures do absorb the Qi from its surroundings and for example when we purchase a home, a FS Master would normally also ask who were the previous owners especially if the house has been built for quite some time. This is the same rationale used to check on the antique furniture's origin. For the dining table, one of the best materials is still wood. New furniture needs sometime to absord Qi from it's surrounding. Glass and marble are less favoured dining table material because of it it's "hard surface" (which is Yang). Do note that "plastic " or polycarbyte are also considered " hard " and Yang. Yin materials is considered to provide generally a more `cosy' especially for the home. 2. Feng Shui Dimensions and the Feng Shui Ruler - Under Yin Feng Shui or Feng Shui for the dead, great importance is placed on measurements e.g. of the grave tombstone etc... Currently, not many Feng Shui Masters know this skill as Yang Feng Shui or Feng Shui for the Living is `more widely' used today. This is mainly because of land scarcity and the need to cremate the dead. Cremation is said to have a neutral effect on the decendants of the dead. Secondly, Feng Shui for the living is `more lucrative'. I understand that most users will ask this question: Is it important to follow Feng Shui measurements? Lets look at these points:- In the present day, there are many furniture designers and furniture makers. It is not possible to use the measurements on the Feng Shui ruler. Even if som e furniture makers are aware of it, they may not believe in Feng Shui. Most of us are not able to custom design home furnitures. Even if we do, we may only custom design e.g. built in cupboards but not possible for every furniture in the home e.g. dining table, sitting room table and chairs etc... So what should we do? I like to point out there are a few Schools of Thoughts regarding this matter:- (1). Some Feng Shui Masters may say... use your six sense or the " Intuitive " form of Feng Shui and buy what you like and " meets " your needs. This is a sensible approach and the most practical in today's world. Simply go get what you like. I agree with this. (2). Some Feng Shui designers (through their learning of Feng Shui) have incorporated some Feng Shui friendly features e.g. furniture with `rounded' corners. Do note: not "wavy" furniture as in the water element but furnitures that are `suppose' not to give off poision arrows from it's edges. I also agree with this. This is equally acceptable as most of us do read about poision arrows from nearly every FS website to nearly every FS books. You can consider the use of Feng Shui dimensions as `secondary' importance to Feng Shui. In fact, today, because of commercialisation of Feng Shui so little has been paid to Feng Shui dimensions i.e. what can you earn from teaching FS dimensions? When we do research at Geomancy.net, we believe as far as possible to bring up two sides of the coin and let users be the judge for themselves. No hidden agenda on this. One interesting point: In Singapore, it is a little known fact that the main doors of practically all Housing Development Board Flats which more than 90% of Singaporeans are living have the main door dimensions that fit Feng Shui dimensions. Most FS Masters do talk about the importance of the `mouth' of the house i.e. the main entrance door. As mentioned above, this is considered a `little known fact' because of the racial diversity in Singapore. The `worry' is that this may offend other races especially the e.g. Malays who are Muslims and may get the wrong idea that Feng Shui is a religion. -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'free-advice' suppressed suppressed> Date: Wednesday, July 07, 1999 12:55 PM Subject: Desk shape I personally feel that the standard rectangular shape or circular shape is still the best shape for desk.

Hi, If you want to find out more on how `Feng Shui' logos are created, please check out this URL: http://www.geomancy.net/on/logos.htm In short, Feng Shui logos are based on your Pillars of Destiny element. Warmest Regards, Cecil -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'free-advice' suppressed suppressed> Date: Tuesday, July 06, 1999 2:44 PM Subject: Business logo Actually, all shapes are good shapes, it depends more on who the logo is designed for. Say for a company the element of the person running the company is water, then their wealth is fire, thus sharp shaped objects such as triangle is good shape for it. So for business logo, it is a little different. Often it has to be especially designed to cater to the competitors etc. Warmest Regards Robert Lee regards, anonymous To reply: mailto:free-advice.1382@forum.geomancy.net To start new topic: mailto:free-advice@forum.geomancy.net To unsubscribe and participate only via Web Forum: 1.

Dear Iz, Thank you for your words of encouragements. Presently, Feng Shui is no longer so mysterious. Sometimes, I go abit far to `warn users' not to go excessively into Feng Shui. Well sometimes this is human nature. For example, say someone pick up a book on Feng Shui and after reading between the lines, find that an author says that wind chimes are good. Here, the `catalyst' begins. Each of us mean well for our family and instead of purchasing one wind chime, may tend to purchase more. If one is purchasing only one wind chime, the chances of getting it placed at a Flying Star inauspicious location is not as great as one buying 5 wind chimes and as there are 8 sectors, the chances of getting into problems are great! Green Roof: When I first started to learn Feng Shui, a successful engineering friend of my told me the story that his clay roof (orange/red) was covered in greenish algae. His parents decided to clean the roof and give it the original orange / red tiles. He related that overall, their house is in a good Shapes and Form and the additional green material on the roof provided added good luck. After they cleaned the roof, coincidentally, the luck declined. Overall, it is safe to have green roofs. This implies the wood element. However, in Feng Shui under the Shapes and Form School an expert Feng Shui Master will look at e.g. the house in relation to others and see what element your house is in relation to the neighbourhood. For example, a short while ago, I made some comments on the Feng Shui of office buildings. In my city, some foreign Feng Shui Masters advised their clients to built tall buildings in a specific shape. For example, if there are lots of offices classified as wooden structures, they usually advise their clients to build e.g. a fire building to destroy the wooden thus creating wealth. The Bank of China in Hong Kong is a well known case and the building comprises two elements. It is mean to subdue other nearby buildings and thus create `wealth'. This is one example of how the Five elements is used in relation to houses or buildings. One useful book I always recommend to understand the Five Elements concept is a book by Derek Walters called " Feng Shui Handbook ". He has another book called Feng Shui. If you compare his book with others available you will notice that he truly understands and practise Feng Shui which is based on the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements. Not unlike some new books written even by famous authors who are in my opinon is very poor in their knowledge and the application of the Five Elements. Such authors I feel, give false hope and I personally feel do more harm than good to anyone. Some of these authors are best at only coming up with general books and the safer books are on the Shapes and Forms.

Dear Ber, As I have mentioned that the Chinese saying goes:- First Destiny, Second Luck, Third Feng Shui. Here you will notice that the common Traditional approach is:- 1. (First Destiny) - Here we can find out the omens of our Heaven `Luck' and understand it better. 2. Luck.... 3. Feng Shui - Is to look at our Earth `Luck'. By doing 3, you can do something about your Earth Luck. While the Heaven Luck, you can understand it better and in someways `avoid' certain inauspiciousness and take advantage of auspicious periods. Hope that helps. Cecil -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'free-advice' suppressed suppressed> Date: Tuesday, July 06, 1999 9:40 AM Subject: How to improve luck

Dear Iz, There are quite alot of controversies in relation to wind chimes today is because of the following:- 1. Some Feng Shui practioners after auditing a house (most likely want to earn more income) ask the household to purchase quite alot of windchimes. Some `victims' fall prey and hang more than 3 or more wind chimes. 2. Recently there are many books on Feng Shui and without understanding further, many think that wind chimes are universally considered Feng Shui enhancers. From the above, you can understand why many who place more than one wind chime get into problems. As one place a few wind chimes without proper knowledge, the chances are it may be placed in a bad or inauspicious Flying Star location. For a wind chime, it is best to avoid:- 1. Wind chimes with five tines or rods. Five under the Flying Star is unasupicous. Placing a wind chime with five rods at the wrong location spells trouble especially if it is an inauspicous location of the Flying Star. Particularly if there is a star 5 present in the location. 2. Avoid wind chimes with hollow rods. 3. Hanging five or more wind chimes at a particular location can be quite `risky'. It may result in someone in the family getting a mental illness. 4. Hanging windchimes opposite a yin location e.g. facing a graveyard or a location with yin concentration: For example, the location is West plus in addition of having quite alot of trees planted there. Too many trees create too yin an environment. If there is also too much water in the location, too much water is also considered Yin. Here, if you are not careful, hanging a wind chime e.g. on a tree may inadvertently attract playful imps to the location due to the sound of the wind chime. In such a situation, one may not have a peaceful sleep and most likely have nightmares. The above `obsession' with wind chimes may lead to problems as mentioned above. What about placing a single wind chime? Many people have never heard of Feng Shui and do see a wind chime, buy it and hang it at a location they like. There is nothing wrong in this. Most of all, we do rely on our instinctions or six sense. Without relying on Feng Shui, we thus use our personal `feelings' and naturally (most of the time) we do not encounter problems such as above. Sometimes, it is better off not knowing a little of Feng Shui. This is because, nowadays, many of us simply pick up a Feng Shui book, read in between the lines and then immediately start to interpret what was said e.g. wind chimes are good enhancers and start to buy not one but a few. This is where all the trouble begin. Even when we eat, do we try to over eat? We should eat moderately. This is the same with Feng Shui. In your case, if you have not done a Flying Star analysis, you can:- 1. Do not use any wind chime with 5 rods. 2. You can try to place the wind chime as mentioned under a garden arch. But do monitor the situation. Usually this is acceptable because the impact of a wind chime is not as bad as having a few around the house. Usually, based on our six sense (without relying on Feng Shui) is good enough. Since you are moving house, where possible, my advise is not to clutter the centre-point of the house. At the same time, never place any fish tank at the centre of the house. So far, I have known a few instances where: the male of the house gets into financial difficulties and the female of the house gets sick and if prolonged placement of the fish tank, may be fatal.

Dear Jason, I personally feel that in `this line' i.e. Feng Shui, whoever comes up with a product to sell should provide some justification in doing so. Likewise, when we reply to a question, usually, it would be best to provide the reason for doing so. You have asked a good question because it is not adviseable for any individual particularly like you have mentioned a weak wood person to be in contact with the coins. (As Metal Destroy's Wood). Currently, there is no basis for anyone to carry six -iching coins around in Feng Shui. I feel that it is more a marketing tool than a Feng Shui enhancement. Perhaps carrying a rabbit's foot can give one equal luck? The real idea behind Feng Shui is more to locate beneificial Qi and to negate Sha Qi. Lets take a look at this Chinese statement:- " Chinese value Destiny so highly that it is the FIRST in ORDER of their TOP priorities, SECOND: Luck and THIRD: Feng Shui. " Here you will notice that contrary to our expectations and beliefs, LUCK is `on it's own ' and not directly associated to Feng Shui. Therefore, what you have mentioned is more of Personal Beliefs than Feng Shui.

Dear Ber, For the kitchen, the most important position is the location of the stove and the various water positions. These are of utmost prority.

Please see below:- -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'free-advice' suppressed suppressed> Date: Wednesday, June 23, 1999 9:04 PM Subject: Gardens Yes, there are four important theories which can be applied:- 1. The Four Symbolic Animals Theory concept; This would depend on the gradient of your land and if there are any `tall buildings' around. If there are tall buidlings around that shade that side of the house or land, then you have to find out what type of plants that you can plant there. Normally, the advice is to plant plants at the East (Rising sun) or the Dragon side and because of the `heat' in the West (afternoon sun), this is less ideal especially in Equatorial countries. Most plants may die due to the intense heat. 2. The Yin and Yang Concept Another point is that under the Four Symbolic Animals Concept for example, the West is said to be Yin and for a landed property or even highrise, it is best not to plant too many plants or trees at this location which may create too yin an environment which is conducive to `spirits'. For the garden, it should have a balance of Yang e.g. stones, bricks etc.. and Yin e.g. plants and water position. 3. You can Ba Gua template or plan an " S " shaped garden. What this means is that garden should be landscaped and avoid straight paths where necessary. Straight paths creates Sha Qi. 4. A lovely garden is conducive to birds. Birds in the garden is very auspicious. In general flowers of any colours are attractive and pleasing. If they smell, nice, it is even better. As `cut-flowers' do not last long, it is acceptable to be placed in the home. It does not `attract' qi but do give one a sense of `calm' etc...

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_000A_01BEC0D3.A9132830 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear Jason, Please see below:- -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'free-advice' suppressed suppressed> Date: Wednesday, June 23, 1999 5:35 PM Subject: Definition of 'Chi' Let me take an example of HDB flats where nearly 90 percent of the Singapore population lives. Many of these houses are `unique'. Especially the older flats e.g. the 3 room flats with flat roofs and rectangular shape or the five room `point block' flats. Many of these flats have more `light' and `air' flowing from the windows of the living room and this exit out of the kitchen or the rooms. The qi in such cases is more intense than coming from the main door which can be at the side of the living room. Some more `innovative' Feng Shui practioners have taken account of this. What they do is that would advise the client to `prevent' qi from coming directly into the living room windows and exit out of the e.g. the kitchen windows. One simple method is to close diagonal set of windows. This concept is the same as avoiding qi flowing out of the home immediately. Qi can be classified into various categories: 1. If one has a store room and if one do go into it, you can feel that you are `suffocating'. This can be considered as bad. Another qi classified under this category is `dead qi' which is bad. It is ` stagnant ' and non moving. 2. Beneficial Qi. This qi can be described as qi coming in from the living room windows or main door. If it is allowed to meander and flow slowly around the home, it is good. 3. Sha Qi is any poison arrows pointed towards the home. It can also be the qi of the ceiling beam `pressing' down or exerting a force. Here, we do not use the Compass School of Feng Shui but rather the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui. Under the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui, as you have mentioned the `frontage' of the house should preferably be `bright'. Therefore, for a HDB flat or just any home you also need to consider the " FRONTAGE " of the house. You can still practise: 1. Yin and Yang concept i.e. you have to ask yourself, how you use your room? Do you work? or study? If you work, then most likely you come home to rest. So make the room more `yin'. If you study you may make it more `yang'. 2. Use the personal best directions under the Eight House Theory. 3. You can do a Flying Star of the sector where you sleep to see what are the stars " flying " in you room for the period of time. 4. You can use the Pillars of Destiny to understand your heaven luck and by understanding it, you can have some influence on your life.

Dear Suzhen, Apologise for the delay in reply. Currently I am unable to do any more house audits for the time being because of my schedule and projects for the website. Perhaps, you may want to get assistance from other Feng Shui Practioners in Singapore. Due to my tight schedule, I am unable to provide assistance in your case or go thru them in detail. What you have analysed using the Eight House Theory is not enough to find out your various `problems'. This is because the Eight House Theory is not a `diagnostic' tool of Feng Shui. More refined tools that can aid a better understanding or improve your situation includes the anaysis of your house using the Flying Star and the individual elements and their strengths for each of your family members. Please accept my sincere apologies.

Dear Chris, If the doors are used frequently, there are really nothing much you can do. This is because if two doors are facing each other, it signifies that each occupants of either room will not be in good terms with each other. Early this year, one user wrote in to say that his main entrance door faces directly his neighbours and something like one metre between them. He mentioned that they are frequently at logger heads. The only alternative is to see if the doors can be located separately (where possible) if not, you may try to close the door but it may not be effective thou.

Dear Marissa, Currently, there is quite alot of talk regarding books written recently by Lillian Too. In the Feng Shui Internet community; particulary the Western Trational Feng Shui Schools mentioned their concern over what she is teaching. If one is new to Feng Shui and having read some of her books, would quickly come to the conclusion that Feng Shui uses `fixed' templates. For example, many people after reading her books thought that all Feng Shui is based on Fixed stations of the Eight Aspirations or Life Aspirations. In my opinion, some Feng Shui authors resort to capitalize on the ' static " Life Aspirations by `declaring' that North is career, South signifies Fame etc... Such theories are harmful especially if we `eat and sleep' using such theories only. It may prove harmful. In the last 6 months, many novice Feng Shui users after reading such books, go into Fast Food Feng Shui and started to place wind chimes, enhancing their " Romance " corners. Feng Shui is far from this. Real authentic Feng Shui is more importantly based on:- 1. Shapes and Form 2. Compass Schools: Both Eight House and Flying Star 3. The Five Elements relationship e.g. the element and its strength. Nowadays, authors who seem to `preach' Fast Food Feng Shui can do more harm than good to a person. We constantly ask ourselve, if everything is fixed, can it apply to individuals? For example, if everyone of your office colleagues start to place a rose at the `Romance' corner, enhance the North or Career sector or South = Fame sector can this work for all? I would recommend that you read instead Derek Walters " Feng Shui Hand book " with some important topics on the Five Elements. The way to go is to understand equally the Yin and Yang Principle and the Five Elements concept. These are stepping stones to understanding real Feng Shui. All your questions below refers more to the " Life Aspirations or Eight Aspirations ". As mentioned above, these are too general a theory to follow in real Feng Shui. I personally feel that you are better off, using your personal instincts than to follow such a static theory. This static theory can be `followed' after you have done all other Feng Shui analysis. Only when you have the time or have nothing else to enhance, then you may if you want to use it. I am not sure if it will help thou.

Dear Nansi, Here are the points to note:- 1. It is still best to avoid painting the main entrance door at the West this year. Although this is not as bad as offending the Tai Shu which is at the East this year, the West is called the 3 killings. If you really want to, you can still repaint the West. If you are not in a hurry, perhaps, you can do it after the next Chinese New Year. 2. The House is considered overall as a Metal House. In such a situation, it has not much impact on your Strong Earth. The best colour to avoid for a Strong Earth is Red, Pink or Purple (which belongs to the Fire element). 2.1 Under the Productive Sequence of the 5 elements concept, Fire enhances Earth and as you are a strong Earth person, try to avoid the Fire element. 2.2 Under the Destructive Sequence of the 5 elements concept, Wood destroys Earth. Since you are a Strong Earth person, some wood would be good to control the Strong Earth. Normally, it is still best that you know the Flying Star numbers at the Main Entrance to see if there is any impact on it with relation to the type of Flying Stars at the location. If not, in general, you should avoid painting the front door pink, red or purple or any of the range of such colours. Here there are two caution:- 1. Pink, Red or purple are of the Fire Element and is no good for your Strong Earth. 2. Fire element also destroys Metal element. Here, it would also have to depend on the type of Flying Stars at the location. Fire may inadvertently weaken the Metal element i.e. the Main Entrance door position. The best colours at this point in time, is to paint the wall at the main entrance: White (Metal element) or Light Green. (Green represents Wood and it is good as it will weaken your Strong Earth making it more `neutral'. But I still feel white would be best for a West door location. The ideal door is for you to use natural wood colours e.g. varnished wood door or brown coloured door. Brown or wood is a good choice as it will neutralise or weaken your Strong Earth.. making it` more neutral '. For your NW bedroom, you can use neutral White. But if you want to neutralise some of your Strong Earth, you can paint the room light green.

Dear Felicia, In this situation, we can apply the Yin and Yang Principle. Under the Yin and Yang Principle, grave sites and the Church are considered " Yin ". In such a situation, you need to counteract this with Yang element. What you can do here is:- 1. If your house has brick walls, natural red brick walls are ideal. Red is the most Yang of all the colours. 2. If the walls are plastered and smoothed, you can paint this side of the wall red or any other Yang colours e.g. bright green, bright blue etc... 3. For the window frame, you should also paint it in matching bright colours. 4. Avoid too many trees particularly large ones as this can harbour the `spirits'. Please also avoid too many plants. Keep this location trimmed. 5. Where possible use bright coloured curtains e.g. with a dash of red in it. (If you can). But be careful, try not to make the rooms here dark. Best to let be `bright.' If you notice above, what we are trying to create is to increase as much Yang energy on this side of the house to offset the negative Yin energy of the grave site and the Church. There is nothing much you can do about the septic tanks. It is not a real issue here. At this location do remember to avoid having a pool or water element as too much water is also considered " Yin ". Two other points to note:- 1. Avoid too much decorative items particularly ceramic vases or decorations in the rooms at this area. 2. More importantly, my advise is not to hang any wind chimes in the home. Certain `wave lenght' may inadvertenly attrack `attention' from unwanted visitors.

Dear Jason, There are two ways you can make enhancements:- - In your home or office. - Personal In your home:- 1. Are you staying alone or with your family. If you have a family, it is best to look at your `weak earth' in relation to your spouse. For example, if your spouse is a Strong Wood person, as Wood destroys Earth, you need more of `earth' element then if she is of another element or a weaker strength. What happens if your spouse is a Strong Fire element. As Firer enhances Earth, this is a good relationship. Alternatively if your spouse is a Earth person, you can benefit by her Earth element. What I mean here is that in your home and if you are married, you have to take into consideration, your partner's element and strength in order to find something that both can benefit from. Sometimes, an enhance for you i.e. Weak Earth may without proper consideration for your spouse, be detriment for her. 2. If you are not married, this is ok. You still need to consider where is the main entrance of the house. For example if the main entrance door is facing East, this is beneifical to you as the house element is South (Fire) and you need less of earth element in the house. Lets take another example. If your main entrance is facing East (Wood element location) As Wood weaks Earth, you need more of either Fire element or Earth element in your home. Therefore, my advise is to consider 1. the spouse, 2. the home before making a decision to make enhancements. In addition, you also need to consider the Flying Star chart of the house. This is because certain locations are `sensitive' to the flying stars. This is because, if a certain location cannot have addition of `earth' by adding earth element, it will cause problems to the person. (The above approach can also be applied to the office but more towards the flying star template.) 3. You can enhance your `weak earth' by wearing e.g. clothers colours associated with Earth element. There is a free report at www.geomancy-online.com where a person keys his element and its strength and a report is provided to give advise on what are the elements favourable to the person.

Dear Donna, Thanks for your detailed information about the various fountains. Overall, when purchasing a fountain please take note of the following:- 1. Circular fountains are ideal. (Avoid purchasing any fountains with pointed edges, rounded edges are the best). 2. Avoid placing any rocks that symbolises a creature or some unknown shape resembling a person, an animal etc.. 3. Avoid having an animal or fish or any other objects with their `mouth' open facing the house. This will create problems for the breadwinner as a hungry mouth symbolizes a need to feed it. This may bring illness or loss of fortune to the household. 4. A fountain should not be `cluttered' with figurines and ideally, and has a clean shape. 5. If you are placing the fountain outside the house, it can be placed along the frontage of the house. 6. Bear in mind the Yin and Yang Theory i.e. have a balance between Yin and Yang. Yin refers to anything soft e.g. the grass verge the garden area. Yang refers to rocks or metal or anything that is hard. Look for a balance in the exterior of the house and look at how asthetic the fountain can blend to the house. Most of all, feel free to select a fountain that both you and your family and one that you personally like very much.

Dear Randy, Please see below:- -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'feng-shui-tips' suppressed 'feng-shui-tips' suppressed> Date: Wednesday, June 16, 1999 7:55 AM Subject: Toilets above main entrance The only `realistic' advise is to check if there are any pipes that can be seen above the main entrance door ceiling. In such a situation, it would be best that it be `covered' up e.g. a false ceiling. Check to see that the toilet bowl is not directly above the main entrace door. If this is the case, this would be better. Otherwise, there are nothing much you can do but to ensure that the pipes are not leaking.

Dear Shelley, I glad that you find the site useful. Feel free to use the " Search " feature on most pages of the website or for specific messages, login to this forum, there is also a Search icon. This is one of the most easiest way to search through the vast amounts of information available in this website. To answer your question: 1. The correct Romanized words for Feng Shui is : " Feng Shui ". The rest of the spelling are not proper way to write Feng Shui. 2. For more about the North-South debate go to this url: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/addsites.htm#SOUTH In general, most Feng Shui practioners (Traditional Schools) like myself believe that you do not need to alter or change the theory even " down under ". Feng Shui Theories especially the Compass Schools Theory should not be modified for the South. Another point to note is that in the above URL, you should also read the Confessions of Lin Yun of the Black Sect Tantric Buddist or Black Hat Sect Feng Shui. This school is NOT recognised by Traditional Feng Shui Practice. Just today, I received an e-mail from a webmaster of a Black Hat Sect asking to be conferred with the Feng Shui Award (this award is from Geomancy.net inconjunction with Wind and Water Ring). I commented to the webmaster that his site is lovely and nice BUT, his site did not criteria for the Award as it does not practise Traditional Feng Shui. My advise is also not to read from only one author but as many as possible.

Dear Chris, Thanks for sharing with us your keen observations. I would like to share with you my comments on the Green Dragon and White Tiger. Most of us have read and heard about the `ill effects' of the White Tiger. Contrary to popular belief that it is a `bad' animal, it is equally considered auspicious animal as it is courageous and even considered a beautiful animal. Here, you will notice it it is really no harm and we do not really need to `tame' the animal or provide a quiet environment. The only situations to watch out are:- 1. In the natural order, the green dragon and tiger is said to embrace each other. This is where the higher green dragon hill embraces the lower tiger hill. In such a landscape, there is harmony between the dragon and the tiger. There is a unnatural order where the tiger dominates the dragon. This can be read under http://www.geomancy.net/fs/four.htm 2. As the West is a Yin location, avoid planting too many plants. Too many plants create a Yin environment. Too yin environment is no good. 3. Under the Eight House Theory and if this location is inauspcious for a person, certain details or cures need to be looked at closely. For example, Chinese often like to hang a red cloth over the main entrance door. As red symbolises Fire element; Fire destroys Metal (West location) and if one is a weak metal person, your metal gets destroyed. The above are some of the main issues relating to the White Tiger. Under another Feng Shui Theory i.e Shapes and Forms pertaining to water positions, we are aware that it is auspicious to have a fountain or even a waterfall flowing outside the main entrance of a business or home. This is fast moving qi and considered good. This is one reason why I feel they must have placed a mini waterfall even if it is the West side.

Dear Van, Yes, preferably, the back of the lot should not be smaller than the front lot. Can I confirm if it is meant to be an office for building a residential block. This is because, some shapes are sensitive to `residential' blocks.

Hi Everyone, I would like to remind anyone wanting to use materials published by us to seek consent or approval before using our materials. Today, I walked into a bookstore and to my surprise, I found a few graphics / illustrations from my website copied wholesale. I was very sad because, I remembered, these were my hardwork which I spent quite alot of time. The well known author did not even asked me for my approval or consent and conveniently took my illustrations. This is truly theft of intellectual property rights. As I am investigating further, I have not put up the detailed information on my website. Click here to see the reminder notice on Intellectual Property Rights: http://www.geomancy.net/copyright/intellect1.htm If you do come across any more infringements, please let me know. Thanks in Advance! Cecil Lee

Dear Dion, What is common with the Compass School of Feng Shui i.e. the Eight House and the Flying Star and if we map our Heaven Luck using Pillars of Destiny are that they have to be personalized to an individual. For the Shapes and Form School, it is more generalised Feng Shui. The Eight Aspirations or Life Aspirations is a " free for all ". Anyone can write a book about it and say that the romance corner is at the South West while the Career is in the North. So, you will realise that if you are considering compass directions e.g. North, you should look at it under the Eight House Theory or the Flying Star Theory. Even in the Four Symbolic Animals Principle, it does not say that the back door facing North is bad. Under this theory, a water position behind the house is bad. It does not also imply that a backdoor at the North is bed. The only thing I like to relate about the North is that it is common in Europe or the West to consider North inauspcious. The reason is because most churches lie North to South and in the bible, it was mentioned (somewhere) that the North is the home of the devil. When rites are performed, priests usually face the South. This has also to do with the Northern lights and the ozone problem in the north. In addition, the Chinese consider North East, the devil's gate. Which is close to the North. Well, you should not worry too much about the North. What you need to do is at the North and North East sector, avoid planting too many trees. I know wells are uncommon nowadays, but wells at the North, NE and SW are usually avoided. The reason is to avoid creating a yin environment (too many trees or too much water) at these locations. If you do not have the above, it is fine.
