myfs_144435 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Hi Master Lee,I used to have a tree in front of the house. We recently had the tree removed (cut at the ground level, about 1-2 inches above the ground) since it was damaging the concrete driveway and was about to damage the foundation (per a contractor).Since the removal of the tree, we see some health and minor unexpected financial issues. Also, we see that there's a cleaver arrow coming from a building opposite to the house.Upon a local advice, we did do some ceremony around the tree a few weeks after cutting the tree. Still no complete relief.1. What's the best cure? We don't see a simple way to hide a convex ba gua mirror in the front of the house. Is that the best solution?Can we hang a plant or a wind-chime?2. Alternatively, we're considering planting another tree near the old one. Would a Japanese maple tree (with green leaves) be good? (I'm unsure what type of tree we removed). Asking the question since the leaves of the maple tree is pointed. The tree is about 25-27 feet from the front-door. The cleaver-like building side is about 50-60 feet away from the house. The house faces almost exactly north (may be a couple of degrees to the west). And the tree is almost in the middle of the front-yard when measuring sideways. (so when facing the house, the tree is not on the left or right of the lot, in the center. And in the front..)Please advise.Sincere Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted March 26, 2010 Staff Share Posted March 26, 2010 1. Based on your description, I believe the most effective solution would be to plant another tree. If this new tree has sufficient height, it can effectively block the direct line of sight from the building across the way, addressing your concerns. 2. It would be wise to consult with a local florist regarding tree options that do not possess the shallow root system characteristic of maple trees. 3. I maintain that the aforementioned solution remains the most optimal choice. 4. Given your experience with maple leaves, it seems you reside in a region with four distinct seasons. In contrast, Singapore, located near the equator, features popular plants such as the "Lipstick Palm," also known as the "Maharaja." While this bamboo-type plant does produce roots, they are manageable. Again, I recommend seeking guidance from local horticultural experts or reputable florists. 5. The principle of "if it cannot be seen, it no longer poses a threat" serves as an effective protective measure. Therefore, if your windows are open and there is a direct line of sight to a potential threat, installing a sheer curtain can provide a simple yet effective solution. 6. For the wind chime, it should be positioned strategically to directly face the line of sight from the opposing building. A six-tube wind chime is particularly recommended for this purpose. 7. A convex mirror should also be placed in direct alignment with the threatening building's line of sight, ensuring it is not obscured. The optimal locations for both the wind chime and the mirror are typically above the main entrance or at the outer car park shade. 8. It is essential to determine the precise line of sight, as it may be targeting specific windows. The previous tree's location can provide a useful reference point. 9. Therefore, the primary recommendation is to replace the tree. The second option will depend on the type of wind chime selected and the size of the ba gua mirror; a standard convex mirror of approximately three inches in diameter, without elaborate trigrams, is advisable.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted May 23 Staff Share Posted May 23 Units categorized as Good, Bad, and Ugly. 1. Keep in mind that while a geomancer may deem this development favorable, the quality of a unit also relies on its specific location within the development. 2. Is your potential unit under the Good, the Bad or the Ugly? 3. Consider this scenario: the unit resembles a dilapidated 1,000 cc car that has seen better days. Not even a skilled Feng Shui Master could transform it into a desirable unit! 3.1. By the way, (above) this falls under Habit Number 11. 4. Under Habit 1, one possibility is by ranking one's bedroom type by stack/unit: 1st choice, 2nd choice etc... 4.1.
