Cross symbol

[user283850]

Dear cecil and robert,
Is it bad if one main door faces a cross symbol from across a church. Does it bring bad luck hang one inside the home. Please
advise.

Hi,
Under the shapes and form school, the main concern is to "protect" your main entrance door and especially and windows along this frontage.
Therefore, for the main door, one test is to stand at the main entrance door and look out. If the cross is on the same level or directly cutting the main entrance door, this is considered a sha qi or poison.
Normally, the cross should be higher level, and it would usually affect your house if it is more then one storey high. And for such cases, the most easiest cases is to use a set of blinds or thicker curtains.
This is based on the principle that if you cannot see the sha it is no longer a threat.
Usually, the most common threat is a lamp post. Here as the lamp post is considered by many Hong Kong Feng Shui practitioners consider this as a fire element threat. This is why many Hong Kong Feng Shui practitioners ask their clients to place a Fish Tank in the room that overlooks this threat. As you are aware, water in general destroys Fire. So this indirectly counteract the sha qi.
Actually, there is another third element in the water which is the fish to counteract, the wood element as the lamp post is complex. The Lamp post is tall and thin, and some Feng Shui Masters instead consider it as a wood element.
What can we learn from above?
You will notice that some Feng Shui professionals use fish tank sparingly and not simply place a fish tank for the sake of earning extra money.
Another point you need to know here is that, usually under feng shui, fish tanks are used mostly by traditional feng shui practitioners as cures rather than enhancers. Contrast this with a fountain and a waterfall as they are fast moving and are considered more as enhancers.
There are Feng Shui practitioners who question the use of placing a fish tank for two reasons.
1. What happens if the fishes die?
2. By pouring away water from the fish tank when cleaning the fish tank, it is symbolic of pouring away wealth (water).
However, generally water is considered as wealth, but under different circumstances, water is not necessary a person's wealth.
For example, a Earth element person's wealth is water, but this is not true for others.
Also, in I-Ching Water symbolises difficulties. Therefore, if it is at the wrong location of the house, again just like wind chime, it would do more harm then good.
You should also be aware that too much water is considered too yin, and too much yin is the house is inauspicious as yin normally represents weak and sickness.
For example, houses with blue roofs is never recommended, because it is like water on top of you, which means you face lots of problems.
Hopes this helps.
Warmest Regards
Robert Lee

Wow!! -- Salud for all the advices I have read so far since I joined this
mail list!!!! Although nothing is yet applicable to me as I am still in the
process of organizing to move out of this place I am now, my mind is
boggling with info I have so far gathered and mean to put in separate
folders for referencing later on after I have moved.

The good thing about your sites and including this mailing list is that you
are not the "greedy" types who mean to extract more business for your own
selves. It will be nice for you advisers here if this is so but you all
come across as the honest and caring ones I have encountered so far and I
don't even know you personally. It will be an honour to even just shake
your hands and you better believe this, y'all!!

Anyway, can I ask another question? -- the place I am moving in has green
baked tiles for roof, what does that mean or will mean to me personally?
'Hope to hear from you, and thanks again for all your wonderful advices not
only to me but to us all members of this group. My only problem is that I

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.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil Lee
