Dear Carrie, Thank you for the sketch. I know have a better understanding of your house profile. 1. I was `fearing' to see such a layout plan because, this type of layout plan is rather inauspicious under Shapes and Form Feng Shui. 2. In addition, having a west pond is not ideal for such a house. It is actually equally not ideal for any other house to have a pond or water position at the west. This is based on `symbolism' in Feng Shui which is called: "the White tiger, has it's mouth wide open" (imagine the pond as the mouth of this white tiger). This is the additional problem added to your layout plan. 3. In my opinion, it does not really matter which room are at where. But rather, the entire house `sloping' downwards is not a good auspicious configuration. 4. I understand that it is quite difficult for you to sell the house. However, (I hope you can take it) - Frankly, there is not much cure that one can do to neutralise the inauspiciousness of the backward sloping house. 5. This is my FRANK opinion. To minimize further damage, it is best not to have a pond at the west. 6. Should you need to seek further opinions, on this, my sincere advise is not to seek any practitioners who are not well versed in all these especially avoid Black Hat Sect like the "plague". Becareful of anyone who may offer advise or promise you that he/she can give miracle cures for this type of layout i.e. if anyone say that they can give promise that it can be cured, then, tell them that you need to see results first before paying them upfront for the service. (I am only afraid that one might get cheated on this issue). As I personally feel that it is difficult to correct it unless one tears down the entire house, fill up the `slope' and make the entire house level from front to back. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Carrie, I hope I am not asking too much but you have a sketch or a street directory page of your home location. Apologies, I am still confused by your earlier statement that your home slopes backwards. From what I read (below), you seem to indicate that especially, the back yard is "level." When you mention level, I want to find out is: is your entire plot of land `level' or the at same level or when you mean level; it implies that the front although is level; the back is below the front of the house. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- Facing `West' is considered more a `nice-to-have'. It is nice to face West but priority must be given to say spending time at a good sector. If your body and say the legs can be seen from the main door e.g. parallel to it; this is known as the `coffin' position. And considered inauspicious under Shapes and Form Feng Shui Shui. If this is the bedroom ideally not to use plants especially life plants. As plants grown and they are considered `more yang' engergy. Which is not so good. It also depends on how far this is this protusion. If the protusion is not aimed at any part of the body (on the bed) this is fine. Some users here, have indicated novel ways to neutralise this e.g. on the basis that if it cannot be seen it no longer becomes a threat. If the sector is ok, some even use wind chimes. (But usually, this is inconsultation with a FS practitioner). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Lisa, In general, (I really have to say this) because, one has to be physically present to analyse the site even though you have given some description of the site: Here are some guidelines:- 1. Is this site an existing burial site. If it is an existing, can you find out more if this site has ever being Feng Shuied before? 2. If the question above is Yes (it has been Feng Shuied before) than try to find out who actually Feng Shuied the site? We do not want the site to be said to be Feng Shuied but the result is it is " Feng Shuied " by people from the Black Hat Sect. 3. If it has been Feng Shui especially a Chinese Teochew Master, then usually you can be rest assured that; the Teochew Feng Shui Masters - most of the time can really find excellent sites. They have a nose of finding the choicest sites. 4. Usually, the south facing slopes are the preferred locations. Much similiar to the traditional model of the Four Symbolic Animals. Where the frontage is at the South. 5. However, this may not be that practical considering nowadays, land scarcity and not all land areas face South. 6. Overall, from your description, it is good for the grave site to face the ocean. 7. If it does cross-path with say `living homes' then these homes which lay directly with the North-East to South-West alignment; may have to use `some' protection as this NE to SW alignment (this straight line) will be unfavourable to those living in the homes. 8. In particular, if any of these homes cross path at NE-SW and further still, if their main door orientates at NE or SW; may have to change it. 9. Overall, if I read correctly, I believe, the houses you mentioned should be more than 5 km away. The safety zone (between this cross-path) should be greater than 5 km. 10. Sorry for the side-track: In one of my past Feng Shui audit: This house I was doing Feng Shui was in a direct alignment NE-SW with a temple (housing the burnt remains or ashes) of loved ones. Although this house is 4 KM away from the temple; unfortunately, it has `cross-path' with it as the living room area and some bedrooms are in a straight line NE to SW alignment. When I used a Luopan, especially at the ground level along this NE-SW alignment, the centre compass turns many rounds. (Indicating - activity). Warmest Regards, Cecil P.S. This is not compulsory, but if you do have e.g. photos of the site, it would be of great help to further understand the existing site.

Dear Abhijit, In general, fish tank should be placed against a wall. Usually, I believe, the fish tank that has been placed at north is meant more as a hobby piece. Rather than for Feng Shui purpose. Without much more investigations (e.g. using the various methods especially, the Flying Star Feng Shui, therefore, one can only say that it is ok, since you may have it there for sometime already. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Mina, 1. Chinese Astrology (Zi Wei Dou Shu), Eight House Theory, Flying Star Theory, Pillars of Destiny all these major theories uses Chinese Lunar calendar system for their calculation. 2. In authentic Chinese methodology such as Chinese Astrology, Eight House and Flying Star all reference to one's Chinese Lunar calendar. 3. Xia (Hsia) or Chinese Solar calendar is used mainly to define season. And in Pillars of Destiny, this is one portion of the calculation. For example, to define the season of birth i.e. when you were born what season it happen to be at that time. 4. As mentioned above, all other major calculations of Pillars of Destiny uses the Chinese Lunar calendar. 5.1 In most cases the results of the analysis between the Xia (Hsia) and Solar is the same. However, if there is a `blind' date i.e. the difference between how the calendar system treats the start of a new month may create a one month change in the Date of Birth. Since Pillars Destiny is based on one's date of birth, such a change is considered major and will make your entire Pillars of Destiny readings inacurate. 6. The rationale why you see so many Feng Shui practitioners promoting the use of Xia (Hsia) or Chinse Solar is because: 6.1. What we see in the internet are `voices' of many Feng Shui practitioners who derive their practise in Hong Kong. 6.2. Hong Kong once was a Commnonwealth country and many of these Hong Kong practitioners widely use English. And this is why we see a widespread use of Xia (Hsia) or Chinese Solar. 6.3 The rationale is because, Xia is quite constant and very similar to the western solar calendar system. And the best advantage it has is it is easy to chart. 7. Many of the Hong Kong practitioners also migrated to say Canada and some even to USA e.g. California.. thus makes it look like Xia or Hsia or Chinese solar is the `defacto standard.' 8. If we look at China under communism. Feng Shui and Chinese divinity methods were banned in the country. And many of the Authentic Feng Shui practitioners or rather Masters fled to Taiwan. (Majority speaks Chinese dialects or mandarin). I believe if you check the records of many of the well known personalities on Feng Shui e.g. in Hong Kong and Canada or USA, their links are with Hong Kong - i.e. Xia or Hsia system. 9. The unfortunate part is that many of the true Taiwanese Masters do not speak any English. And their main media is either Mandarin or (Hokkien - Fukien). If one looks at the origins of some of the theories, orignate from Fukien province. For example the entire Compass School Feng Shui originates Fukien (Hokkien) province) and the founder is Wang K'e. 10. Thus, you only see sites like us, who have links with both Taiwanese and Hong Kong. Therefore, we understand the practical reasons for practitioners who use Xia (Hsia) system - mainly for conveninence of calcuations. Since Xia (Hsia) use a constant 360 days every year. Much more simple than even the Western solar calendar. Because in majority (95%) of time, one's date of birth does not fall into the blind dates. (Too bad for those who fall in the blind dates only)> 11. We have to be objective and this is why, Geomancy.net has to Chinese Lunar. 12. This is because, in the actual Chinese Lunar Pillars of Destiny the Xia (Hsia) is used not to convert the main Pillars chart but used when needed to reference the seasons of birth and for several calculations relating to two advanced pillars e.g. House of Life and House of Conception. In this two references, there is a need to convert or calculate the actual Hsia months in relation to the Lunar month. 13. Thus it is a pretty complicated process and in most cases, you will not find many practitioners analysing up to the House of Life and House of Conception. 14. You will also notice that the other major theories like Eight House, Flying Star, Chinese Astrology never use Xia (Hsia) as the default system. Although, in recent times we do see some `Hong Kong' related Feng Shui practitioners trying to use Xia Flying Star System. However, if one knows, the origins of the Compass School, it comes from Fukien (Hokkien) and the original use is thru the Lunar system. 15. Feng Shui is applied thru the use of several theories. And many of these theories are inter-related i.e. using the common denominator i.e. Lunar System. This allows for cross-analysis. 16. We feel that being 95% accurate is not acceptable at Geomancy.net. As we are literally playing with people's life. For example, if you are the one who `unfortunately' belong to the category with the blind date - using Hsia, would mean that all your calculations are no longer accurate. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Allison, Under Traditional Feng Shui, the two major schools used are: 1. Shapes and Form 2. Compass School (Eight House & Flying Star) In my opinion, the most accurate Feng Shui is the use of (Para 1 and 2) in combination with one's Ba Zi (Pillars of Destiny) - in particular one's element and strength. 3. This is what is know as Ba Zi Feng Shui. It is widely used system as it is considered the most accurate. As it not only takes into account " Feng Shui " of the house but it also takes into account the persons who intent to live or are currently living in the house. 4. For a start, the key word is `protect, protect, protect'. You should stand at your main entrance door facing outwards of the house. Do this i.e. standing at all the windows of your house and look for poison arrows or sha qi. Here, look out especially for e.g. a lone lamp post slicing thru your main entrance door. Or a pointed object such as the sharp angle of another building pointed into your home (main door) or windows). 5. You should also try to understand more about Shapes and Form Feng Shui. For example you can look thru the various topics on this. For the interior, also such as the good placement of beds, furniture and what to avoid e.g. overhead beams etc... 6. For the `lucky' few who live in homes that have `excellent' Feng Shui. Here, if your Shapes and Form of the environment, the site and home - can be interpreted as able to retain wealth... and if this happening... Then, I consider this a Quantum leap in Feng Shui. Where your earth luck is on the high side e.g. 70% to 90%. Where wealth comes naturally. And one do not need to go searching ( " Like mad ") to get it. 7. For the less fortunate "souls", may have to try to squeeze out as much luck as we can get out of it. And this is where, the majority of humanity starts to find the illusive `wealth'. 8. Here, the Compass School Feng Shui such as Eight House is used. And more often the Flying Star Feng Shui is used MOSTLY to try to neutralise bad sectors (first) and then it is used to look at sectors where we can activate to bring in or squeeze further luck. 9. Overall, as mentioned earlier, your building has on it's own it's Feng Shui. And the Feng Shui of all units within this block. 10. For an individual apartment, such as yours, you can also check out your individual unit's Feng Shui. As mentioned, reading up on Shapes and Forms and applying it. (Protect, protect and protect) if necessary. And if you want to go further, than use the Compass School methods etc.... If you are applying Compass School Feng Shui; then you need to find the `center-point' of your individual unit and from there; take a compass reading from this center-point to the main entrance door. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wendy, 1. Appreciate if you can confirm whether when you mention "the door direction is south @210 deg." Are u referring to the main entrance door or your room door. 2. If it is your room door, then, what you mentioned may not be exactly correct to assess the overall position. 3. Especially since it is difficult to divide a small room into North-South; East-West since they can be pretty close to each other. Where it takes is only a few steps to go from North to South or South to East etc... 4. Ideally, when you take a reading, it should be taken from the center-point of the house to the main entrance. And in relation to this which compass direction(s) is your room located in. 5. For a small room, the impact on your overall Feng Shui would thus depend on the `greater' picture i.e. the environment; the site and say the house that you are staying in. This has the most impact on you. Rather than just your room alone. 6. For a small room, what you can do here to generally check - Under the Eight House theory, what intangible force of yours is at the room. This is just a consideration or understanding. 7. Otherwise, as you mentioned, whichever direction you place the bed, it can still be seen facing the bedroom door. Under this situation, we can only make full use of the Shapes and Form Feng Shui: 7.1. Where possible, try to see if the bed can be placed on the opposite side of the bedroom door. 7.2. Where possible, the headrest should preferably be placed against a solid back. 7.3. If there is a window and should the bed be placed next to it, try to leave a gap between the bed and the window. 7.4. Where possible, try to avoid having the head face or seen from the bedroom door. (If possible). 7.4. Close the bedroom door when you are in the bedroom. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- I hope I understand correctly. Do you mean to say that your house has a slope at the back of the house. Frankly, I have seen many situations (not sure) if it is the same description of your house where: one walks into the front of the house. But the house was e.g. built 3 levels, where the two other levels are built lower down. For example, the highest level is the frontage and because of the slope in the property, the rest of the house is built at lower levels (due to the slope). From the frontage the house looks more like a one storey (level) house. Not sure if this fits your description or not. Under Shapes and Form Feng Shui, this is not an ideal situation especially it is directly behind the house. I can understand why architects in the west do this. Mostly due to privacy reasons. But it would be the worst impact if it is behind the house (west side). The rationale here is that while it is good to activate water positions at the frontage; the back should normally have a solid backing. Under the Eight House Theory, there is really not much `cure' here. Here the theory can assist one to locate good sectors to spent time at. But if it is not a good sector, there is not much under this theory. As each theory or concept has its own strengths and limitations. In my opinion, it is difficult to correct a sloping home. The best option in the long term (or long run) is to find a better home. Just 3 weeks ago, I visited one of my client's father's bungalow house for an audit. Fortunately, his home is on the better side. While, there is a home that was left vacant just 100 metres away which is sloping. I had strongly advised him to forgo looking at purchasing that property (at all costs). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Grateful, if you can attach a sketch. The sketch should include the position of the main entrance door. If you do so, I can easily locate the center-point for you. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, What you mentioned is too general to say for sure what may be `wrong' with your relationship luck. This is because, there are quite a substantial number of reasons for this: 1. It may be your home (Earth luck). Here, it may involve as many as two major Feng Shui theories such as Shapes and Form and Compass School methods. (There could be perhaps some Shapes and Form - problems and/or Flying Star related `relationship' problems that may need to be neutralised. 2. It may be your Ba Zi (Pillars of Destiny - Heaven's Luck) 3. Other than the above, it may be other reasons beyond 1 or 2. Using Gua (Kua) cannot help here as it is not meant to help find out about relationships. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Sam, 1. Where possible, the pair of triangle speaks should not be positioned such as it is aimed at a person. For example, place each speaker such that it's pointed edge does not aim directly towards a seat (where a person could be sitting down). 2. It is a no, no - or inauspicious for the speakers to be placed in the master bedroom. As symbolically, if it is placed in a married couple's room could signify - separation or divorce (if it is located in this room). 3. Since it is placed in the hall, do try to follow the advice as mentioned under Para 1. Thank you. Cecil Lee

Dear Rosen, 1. Do you have a sketch (even a simple outline) will do of your plot of land in relation to the highway and the `enclave' of e.g. teh business district. 2. Describe, what is at the frontage, back and both sides of your plot of land:- 2.1. In general what is the road that leads into your building. 2.2. What are the height of the neighbouring buildings. 2.3 Is this an industrial (manufacturing) or business (commercial area) and are the neighbours (manufacturing or commercial). 3. Usually if your plot of land is `enclosed' within a district meant for business; it does not imply the same as what I mentioned earlier i.e. the residential area. Apologise for asking so many questions. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Ingrida, Actually, I believe what you mentioned is not Flying Star Feng Shui but rather the Eight House Theory. We may have to take the Eight House Theory with a `pinch of salt' for situations where there is no rooms that we can ideally spent more time at. Usually, this theory is used more for: 1. How suitable the house is to the breadwinner. 2. As you mentioned, it is good to spent time at good sectors. But if there are considered `no' good sectors to spent time at; one need not be say `upset' over it. This theory is meant more for the `initial' house hunting. For example, when house hunting, it can help or aid us to further decide which house to choose base on the direction of the main entrance and whether there are good sectors where we can spent time at. 3. Other than the above, Shapes and Form Feng Shui and even Flying Star is used further in Feng Shui assessments. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Michelle, If the frontage if facing the major highway, even if it is some distance away; if you can try to find other better units - than this. Overall, if you can still hear the sound; there is still `vibrant' bad Sha Qi usually at higher level apartments. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jagannath, Usually, one has to look at the building opposite your hotel also i.e. the element of that particular building when looking at the colours of the main entrance doors. Option 1: 1. Fire element (Red) - Usually the is an auspicious colour for the Chinese: 1.1. It is in harmony with SW (Earth) sector. 1.2. Iti s a colour suitable for " Food Related " and it signifies activity i.e. Marketing and Sales. Option 2: 2. Wood element (Brown or Green) - Natural wood or brown signifies growth for the business. Option 1 is usually the best option when brass is oraments are included in the red door. For the size of the main door, it has to be proportionate to the entire facade of the hotel. Make sure that the doors does not exceed 33.3 percent of the floor area of the facade of the ground level unit. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Angelina, Under the Eight House theory: 1. Determine who is the breadwinner (or the person who brings back the most money.) If the earnings is nearly the same, then preference is for the breadwinner to be the (male) husband of the house. 2. It is best to find the most suitable house for the breadwinner. The most suitable house is `Excellent' sector at the main entrance. The main entrance can also be the three other good sectors e.g. Prosperity, Health and Longevity. 3. For the other spouse; try find a house where it is good for say the husband under para 2. and for the wife, it can be other intangible forces such as `spook' or `irritation' at the main entrance. 4. Likewise, look at another critical location i.e. the masterbedroom and see if this can be good sector for oneo or the other or at least, not too bad intangible force e.g. irrititation and spook. Therefore, avoid if possible, the main door with death /disaster for either parties and also in the bedroom. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Gloria, Thanks for taking the time and effort to draw a complete sketch of your building. It is very clear now that: 1. Your house is an `L' shaped home rather than one with a missing corner. Thus, you can consider your house as having two rectangles. 2. Overall, this shape is still an auspicious shape for apartment blocks. And the centre where your balcony and the other unit opposite yours is good as it allows qi to flow into the centre area. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Angelina, House of Life & House of Conception are two ADVANCED pillars used only in advanced pillars of destiny anaysis. Of greater importance is the House of Life as that determines if you are a Strong or Weak person. As it denotes how your life is based on your Eight Characters. House of Conception is more useful for female analysis and it help to detemine areas like marriage and spouse relationships. Generally for any person there is 4 types of of relation, Weak yin Wood, Strong yin Wood, Weak yang Wood, Strong yang Wood. Generally the yin & yang helps more to tell about the characteristics of a person. As there is a difference in character for a yin wood and a yang wood person. So simply when added together gives you a better overview of yourself. However, for understanding more about what elements are favourable to you etc, it is usually determined by the Strong or Weak Wood more than the yin or yang wood, as that i mentioned does not mean that yin is weak and yang is strong. Yin & Yang are nether weak nor strong, they can be extremely strong and can also be extremely weak and vice versa. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi Anon, RED string version is used to control the Metal so that you can effectively use it to control all the problem sectors. This is the correct cure to use for fixing problems. YELLOW string on the other hand has an objective to hopefully increase wealth as it uses Earth as the Wealth and thus Metal destroy it to create wealth. This the it "concept". However, often in good sector, you would probably want to activate the Water areas with Water features as usually those are the better stars you wish to induce rather than just the wealth from the 6 coins. This can be a debatable issue and it depends on your opinion. In my personal opinion, I also classify Electicity as Water. You need to perform a major renovation which should involve a change in the house structure to effectively change the house period. ie to hack off a wall or to add a wall changing the structure of the interior of the house. If you redo the entire roof, it will also be considered changing the structure of the house. But the more effective way in my opinion to having a change in the interior structure of the house. This is because if you do this, the Qi flow will change and that will affect the overall flying star of the house also. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Dear Max Rosen, Happy new year to your too! Generally, the main door should be where your house number is located. However, for landed properties sometimes you have a choice of two entrance. Thus, it the main door becomes the one which you frequently use, as that is where the Qi enters and exit the house most frequently. Which one you should choose should depends on:- 1. Is that main door direction suitable to you (ie North-West, is it a good or bad sector for you - prosperity or diaster based on your Eight House Suitability) 2. Next depends on which has a better overall Stars (ie. which main door has overall better House analysis by the Flying Star report) Usually you would want to choose the better door direction. You can make use of the Free Flying Star report to help you on this, see which report has less problem sectors and if there are problem sectors you should rectify it to get better luck from it. Hope that helps. Warmest Regards Robert Lee

Hi Anon, Please see below:- The priority you should be taking is as follows:- A. The house should be 1st suitable to the breadwinner (your husband). Since both of you are of opposite EIght House, which by the way is a common issue for most people. Likely it is not your death or disaster sector which would be worst. B. Next, you should then focus on choosing a a bedroom that hopefully is suitable for the two of you. However, in most cases, it would be hard to find it as it would likely again be such a case where your husband is good and your is bad. So you can try to choose a bedroom if possible where either of the following:- 1. Good for you and maybe irritation for your husband. 2. Good for your husband and maybe irritation for you. (So long as for the bedroom, you do not choose a bedroom which is DEATH or DIASTER it will.) Preferably to have option 1 because since your husband is already staying in his favourable house, staying in a slightly less auspicious bedroom to accomodate his wife is acceptable. C. Next is to position your sleeping position. ie (try to use each other as a shield). Say for example you choose to sleep in North bedroom, where North-West is better for your husband and North-East is better for you. Then you will sleep in the North bedroom where you sleep closer to North-East and your husband sleep closer to the North-West side of the bed. This way you will make use of each other to shield yourself from the not so favourable influence. This is normally how to resolve this opposite problem issue which is a very common problem. The other issue is to enhance your personal self (ie if you are a weak wood), then have more blue colours to improve your personal luck. For the bedroom, you will need to know the binding element between you and your husband so that you can find a colour that would be beneficial to both of you. (ie weak wood and Strong Metal). The binding element would be Water. So painting the room in light shades of "Blue/Black/Gray" can help to improve both of your personal luck. Hope that helps.

Dear Grace, 1. In my book Applied Feng Shui Made Easy, Page 58; I have listed two formulas that are applicable even in 2000 and more. One of the formula (Method 2) is: - Take the year of birth = 00 - Add the last two digits to get a single number = 0 - Add 5 to this single number - Add two digits to a single numer. this wil be your daughter's Gua no. For example: Born in 2000 0 + 0 = 0; 5 + 0 = 5; 0 + 5 = 5. Your daughter's Gua number is = 5. 2. Another easier method is to goto www.geomancy-online.com and generate a Free Gua Report. The Free generated Gua Report available at the above link also confirms that your daughter's Gua no. is 5. " Your Gua (Kua) Number No. 5 Gua Earth Element West Group Gua Your Gua number is 5. This can be considered your personal number or even lucky number. You belong to one of the four West Group Gua. Your Gua element is Earth Element. However, please note that the more accurate element is determined by the Pillars of Destiny day element. " --- End of Gua Report generated Free at www.geomancy-online.com 2. Child born under horse or goat year. 3. Overall, it is difficult at the moment to say whether it is better for a second child to be born under the horse or goat. 4. This is because, it varies with not only the Year of birth. But, consideration include: 5. Year, Month, Day, Time of Birth and even two critical pillars House of Life and House of Conception. This is what we call " Eight Characters or Ba zi " of every single individual will differ. For example, say Horse year may be a compatible year (roughly) to your husband or yourself but it also depends on the day, month, hour of birth. And this can sway even in years considered to be better than the other. 6. Here, it is best left to fate when a child is born. 7. In traditional times, you may see the grandfather hurrying to a Geomancer to look at the Ba Zi of a child once he/she has been born. If the child is lacking say of an element, the correction is to e.g. use a name with that element included in it. 8. On mother `nature' side, it is always better to try to conceive earlier than later even if it is one or two years later especially since your first child is nearly 2 years or 2 years +. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear James, 1. In my opinion, the biggest influence in the home (`Earth' luck) relates more to the external environment, the site and the home. 2. Usually, other than the external environment and the site, the next important consideration is the (entire house). 3. Therefore; even if you had rented a room, it is but of secondary importance as the whole house has to be related to. 4. What I am trying or hoping to emphaise here is that your room is but just one sector of the whole house. 5. Usually, a full house is audited and checked for any imbalances (if any) within each sector. If there are any imbalance, then it should be `cured'. Say, after applying the cure for that sector; and the imbalance is neutralised, we usually do not look at that sector (other than say the yearly Flying Star influence). This summarises the use of the Flying Star Feng Shui. (If it is applied) 6. Besides this, Shapes and Form Feng Shui for both interior and exterior of the home should be utilised. 7. In your case, you can try using the Eight House Theory. Here, you should try to check which sector your rented room is at. And see if this a good sector. And if possible, try to sleep at a good sector or nice to have if one sleeps facing a good direction. 8. For your rented room, frankly no matter where you relocate your belongings, it will usally still be within one or two true compass directions. For example, the room could straddle between say North East and East Sector or simply at only one sector such as the East (as an example). 9. For a `small' room, therefore, there is nothing much or significant one can do. 10. We can still apply the Yin and Yang concept here. If the room is used for multiple roles. For example; in the day time, if the room is used for an activity e.g. study or work; then it should be `more Yang' and at night or evening, `more yin' for sleep. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Serene, 1. The best `neutral' colour in Feng Shui is white. White serves two fold: 1. it represents the metal element and is one of the safest element to apply. 2. Under the Yin and Yang concept, white makes the house `brighter'. For those who just got their condominiums, can choose to continue with the colour painted. Usually, condominiums use white interior or light cream. This still OK. 3. If one is really not too sure, so long as it is white; off-white or white + light shades of it mixed into white is exceptable. For lily-white, this is usually still OK. Warmest Regards, Cecil
