Questions
& Answers January 1999
I have recently started studying Feng Shui. I have read several books and instituted some of their recommendations at home. I have hung crystals in certain areas, hung wind chimes, moved my bed in a better position, and placed pottery and plants in certain areas. However, at work I have not done anything to my office. This appears to be a very challenging time for me, both personally and professionally. Nothing negative has entirely formed. I have an extremely challenging work environment. I have added plants to my office and moved my desk so that my back is not to the windows. Is there anything else I can do to direct situations and the environment in a more positive direction? Thank you in advance for any suggestions you might have.
Put an Obelisk on a mirror in your Money corner of your office.
I was born in San Francisco on April 7th, 1969. Now I live in the desert in Phoenix, Arizona, and often miss the ocean and lush greenery of the Bay area. Can you recommend any particular elements or colors for my home that would be most beneficial to me?
Blues and Greens will help you transition from the Bay area.
I would like to know if you have any monthly mailings or otherwise with up-to-date info on
Feng Shui?
Yes, and we put you on our mailing list.
I have several problems and thought it better to email...help! I bought this square two-story house on a lake, and everyone considers the side facing the lake as the front entrance, which is facing South. We do have a door coming in from the carport on the West that has a hall/foyer. Which door should be the entrance? Also, the drive is long and slopes to the house from the road, which is somewhat below the grade? From the South entrance (front?) that enters into the great room/dining, there is a open stairway right in front of the front door, that leads upstairs to a mezzanine (office area overlooks downstairs); and our bedroom door is in front of the top of stairs. Since moving here this past year, we have moved my mother in with us, I have quit two jobs this year because of stress, am menopausal, money is tight, and my stepdaughter has moved in to go to college here. My mother and I have always had a trying relationship -- she is elderly, always complains of not feeling good. Her room is on the ground floor, far right, and her headboard is to the East, which will be hard to change. As you can see, I am worried and need to get my house in the best possible order, and need all the help I can get.

My Helpful People life station is in a closet in the garage, and the Wealth station is missing.

I know that flowers with thorns are not advisable for the Wealth sector, but how about rose bushes for the Relationship sector? Will the thorns bring in some prickly issues, or does the beauty of the rose override that?
The roses will be OK.
I recently learned a little bit about Feng Shui, and now I want to redecorate my room to the best of my ability using Feng Shui. Could you please tell me some things to do and not to do... and what some colors mean? My room is currently basically black and white with some color. My birth date is 5-2-1985, if you need that for anything.
Keep your room as simple as possible. Make sure your feet when in bed face the door. Sleep with door shut. Do not place a wastebasket in a corner.
Im a Taurus, born May 2, 1985, and lately Ive been having trouble in school. Everything seems to confuse me, and I have trouble studying. Is there any Feng Shui method that might help me?
Put a cone shape large end down in the New Knowledge corner and study there. You will improve dramatically.
Under your section of the article labeled "the Vortex," I became very confused. It seemed you were saying to turn clockwise when entering a room. Yet you also said to turn to the left, which would inevitably mean turning counter-clockwise. Which one is correct?
Turning left upon entrance and proceeding left to right in a clockwise direction.
My side door faces a staircase of 5 steps going to the main floor, whilst on the right of the side door is another staircase of 7 steps going to the basement. Is there something wrong with it? Thanks.
Too many steps you can heal it by putting two plants, real or fake, on either side of the stairways.

I just moved to a new house two months ago. The house number is 9276, and I was born in the year of Dragon. Three weeks after I moved in, my cat started to be sick, and yesterday he had to be put to sleep at age 12. Supposedly it was a combination of old age and asthma. I wonder if my new house or its placement has anything to do with his death? Please advise. Thank you.
I dont think so. Your number is fine. I could tell more if I had more information, such as the shape of the house, shape of the lot it is on, etc.
Whats a good way to ward off restless sleep and nightmares through Feng Shui?
Take all distractions out of your bedroom. Dont sleep under beams or with mirrors hitting the bed. Have your feet pointing at the door. Dont hang anything over your head, and dont sleep under a low window.
I read all the time in books about how color means certain things. But in all the books I read, it never tells anything about the color Purple. It is my favorite color, and I just recently painted my room a light garish purple color. Could you give my some information on the color Purple and if it is good or bad? Thanks. Could I please be put on your mailing list?
It is spiritual and will move you to help yourself and the world. You are now on our mailing list.
I am new to Feng Shui. My apartment's Wealth corner is the bathroom. What can I do to stop my wealth from draining?
Your Wealth corner is the farthest left-hand back corner from the front entrance. Hang a Red tassel over your toilet from the ceiling. Keep lid down on your toilet when not in use, and flush toilet with the lid down. Add plants, real or fake, to the bathroom.
I want to belong on the Wind & Water online mailing list, but I have a problem I dont write English very well. Can I write to you in Spanish? Do you have a translator? I can read in English. I live in Venezuela in the Margarita Islands. I am really interested. I would really appreciate your help in this. Gracias.
English is best, but I will try to translate if you write in Spanish.
We moved into an apartment that I dislike immensely the entry is a narrow hall that goes all the way to the bedroom with the bathroom off the hall on the left. The front door is facing North. We have had terrible financial luck, and at 38 my husband has had 3 heart attacks and 2 angioplastys and a stint put in prior to moving he is having no luck at getting a job (art director) Help!! What can we do in this new apartment to change things around? Thank you for your time.
Change in environment can change everything in your life. Some houses kill. Please call me for a full consultation.
I caught the bouquet at my best friend's wedding. I dried the flowers and kept them in my bedroom. Is this bad Sha energy? Are all dried flowers bad Aha? Is there a specific place in the house where they are appropriate? I was born in Boston 10-14-71 at 6:18pm. Apartment door faces North, and the building number is 6864. Thanks!
Your dried flowers from your happy occasion will be fine. Place them in a corner for best results.
I like the site and am thinking of doing some of this stuff, but it says ask the master a question and the Feng Shui master Tony so and so, give me break, some kinda power trip or something?
I am sorry you are so upset. Call me a frog, but use Feng Shui to help enrich your life.
I have recently become fascinated by this kind of stuff, mainly the deeper meanings to dreams. I have had many that have come true or changed my life. Will Feng Shui truly help me make my life better? What has it done for you in your personal life? Are you happy?
I am very happy, and it will help make your life much better.
I have read that a ideal location for a house would face South, and that the site should be protected from disruptive energies from West and the coldness that come from North. I found a place in a soft decline, facing South/East, and I managed to buy it. Now, after I began the construction of a house with the front door to the South and many windows and side doors facing the wisdom of East, I discovered other theories of Feng Shui that state that I am a person with most unfavorable areas in the Ba-Qua (I was born in June 1958 (=5+8=13=4==10-4=6) just in the South/East area. I am very upset and in despair. Shall I be in trouble in the house I am about to build? What can I do if I am wrong? What is correct in this case?
You will be fine facing South/East. Do not worry.
Are Feng Shui house floor plans available? Thanks.
They are usually done for individual taste and needs. I do them on a consultation basis.
I am going to move into a new apartment on the 5th Floor. When I look out from the living room's window, I can see a lot of funnels (without smoke coming out) on top of two 3-story buildings. I wonder will these funnels hinder my career or health? How can I prevent it? Thank you very much.
Use reflective materials, such as shiny chimes or crystals or mirrors to reflect away.
I am so happy to find your site. I have found the advice you have given to past questions
very helpful. I do have 2 questions, which I hope you can help me with. I was born
November18, 1957, at 7:00 p.m. in Washington, D.C. I have been a professional pet groomer
since April 1982. I am considering a career change. I am interested in going into 911
police dispatch--I find it fast paced and like the idea of helping people. Can you advise
me on this, please? I live in an apartment building, and the number is 5637, which adds up
to, 21, then 3. My apartment number is 301 which, of course, adds to 4! I am concerned
about this, as a move is not in my near future. Please advise me as to what I can do to
help this. Thank you so much--look forward to your answer.
Police dispatcher is good and fitting work for your birth date. Your apartment number is not good for you. So add a "3" and a "1" to it with clear nail polish, and you will do well.
Lake homes in our area have the lake at the back of the house instead of in the front. I read today that water should be in front of house only, and it is bad for it to be in the back. The lot I am looking at slopes down from the street to the lake, and the front door has a circle drive with plants, etc. Please help!!!
Put a fountain in front of your house. If you want a full consultation, call 520-284-2961.

Just learning about Feng Shui. Can you suggest beginner book? Just
bought new house, and am having many problems, especially with money. Birthday 3/23/52
11:00 a.m. EST. My house # 5429, front door East, but door used most often North. Biggest
problem is lack of money, and sort of unhappiness with house. Please advise.

I have read many different books on Feng Shui and am confused about the placing of the Ba-Qua in the plan of my house. I understand from your answer to a recent question that there are different theories of Feng Shui, which explains why I have been confused. The first book I read told me to align the base of the Ba-Qua over the door that we use most to enter the home. This is what I have been using as my guide to the different areas, and the changes I have made to my home using this principle all seemed to have worked. However, all the books I have read since then mention using compasses, measurements, etc, and they, basically, look most confusing. You said in your answer to one question I read that the 'Black Sect School' is, in your opinion, the most appropriate theory to use. Is this method of placing the Ba-Qua from this School, i.e., is it the best method to use?
All schools are correct. Use the one that feels best for you. Trust your inner vision.
We are unable to change the structure of our office. How can we add forces of Feng Shui to improve our environment? Especially the concept of being able to aspects of water?
Add a fountain.
I was born October 20, 1934 in Dayton, Ohio [Montgomery County] at 8:53 p.m. What are my
best colors?
Any of the Red colors would be good for you.
I am a Capricorn. My birth date is January 15, 1975, 11:21 a.m. I had my chart read for my
20th birthday, and had my handwriting analyzed when I was 18 or 19. One big thing that
came up a few times in both is that I am/would be good in psychology. I have no desire or
time to do anything with psychology. Can you shed some light on this for me? Will I be
interested in this later in life? Does it mean I am a good listener and give good advice?
It means you could be good at psychology or teaching, sales, politics, or anything that takes understanding people. You are a people person, maybe, even a mystic with training. P.S. I am also a Capricorn.
I am working on a cross-stitch pattern featuring a couple of wolves that are mates. I am told this may be bad Feng Shui for people in the house. Is this true?
No, wolves are fine. They are good animals. They will be fine in any room in your house.
My Husband was born June 3, 1947, and I was born April 15, 1951. I do not know the birth
times. We live in a two-bedroom bungalow. We would like to increase our wealth and lose
weight. Our living room/dining room feels very cold -- no warmth at all. How do we
increase the positive energy?
Add Red in small quantities to the living room. Bring in plants and place them in your house. Order our prosperity crystal, and you will see good results.
I am interested in ordering your video. I have always felt unproductive and uncomfortable
in my home. I have several books on Feng Shui, but I must confess that I don't fully
understand how to operate the wheel to discover the various centers in my home. I have
recently rearranged the furniture in the living room and it drastically changed the feel
of the room, so I realize that the principles of Feng Shui must be true. My major problem
is that my home has several rooms with beamed ceilings the family room, the living
room, and the master bedroom. Each of these rooms have two dark beams that cross the room
completely. There is no way to avoid having some furniture under a beam! The house is a
very modern, open concept design. All of the spaces on the first level flow into one
another. Our bedroom is open to the living room, the entranceway, and the family room. I
would like to send pictures to someone so that they could advise me on the placement of
flutes etc. Are there individuals who do this type of consultation? What is their fee for
services rendered? Will your video be able to help me with these problems?
Please call 520-284-2961 for consultation and fee information.
I am reading as many books on the topic as I can. I want to add Feng Shui knowledge to my
architectural skills of landscape architecture. Please let me know about the information
updates.
You may order books from us. Glad you are reading.
Being an Asian married to Chinese, I have always been interested in Feng Shui. Please
clarify this: my house is L-shape, but the wing is not more than half of the actual width
of the house, therefore, the Ba-Qua corners are all present and in order. My front door is
facing Southwest, and so is the main bedroom window. My son's bedroom is Southeast, and my
kitchen is East with a sliding door facing it. How will I place the Ba-Qua chart, if the
North of my living room from the front door is to my upper left side? Some say the front
door is always the Career area thats when I get confused? Please explain.
Thank you.
Use the front door entrance to place the Ba-Qua.
I have read how to calculate your best direction based on your year of birth, but I do not
know how to calculate the second best direction. I would be very grateful if you could
help me with this.
Read Derek Walters book, "Feng Shui Handbook," and it will give you that information. I do not have the time or space for those details here.
I like pictures of the sea and have a few of these in the bedroom, but I have just read
that there should be no pictures of water in the bedroom. I find these pictures peaceful.
I would welcome your comments.
Your pictures are fine. I dont know where you got that negative information. Write and tell me where you got the idea that such pictures arent good.
Is 6436 a good number for my townhouse? If not, what can I do to make it better? I was
born on Feb. 6, 1957.
I went to court today. I had no one to represent me and no witness, but the people who
pressed charges on me for rental property for way over my security deposit, which was 10
times more. I lost the case of lies she told that was wrong with house. I am appealing the
case if the lawyer is willing. I need guidance. They asked for $7,249.00 the judge
told me to pay $5,107.00. There were some damages but not all she told.
No, the number means separation. Add a "6" and a "1" with clear nail polish, and it will be fine. I would appeal the case. Then see if I could make a deal for less. You release your anger with these people, and the Universe will send you much more in return. It isnt personal if you learn the lessons of how anger destroys all. Let it go. Something will come and pay you back 10 times more.
I am here to thank you and express my deepest respect of what you do to help people help themselves. I dare suggest my being quite a rare correspondent of yours (I live in Russia) and expect to add some significance to the area, embraced by Feng Shui. I am also here to ask you for advice. Trying the principles of Feng Shui in my home, I come to think of the bathroom and toilet located in Creativity/Projects area of the house as a source of trouble for my undertakings (results rarely match my expectations). Apart from keeping the door closed, what can I do to enhance my success in activities? I thank you in advance for help. I will also share the address of your site with my friends - we are very much interested.
You can hang a Red tassel from the ceiling over your toilet. Put a plant (real or fake) in the bathroom.
Greetings from Manila, Philippines! I was hoping you could help me out with something I've
been trying to learn for quite some time now. I've been engrossed in Feng Shui for a long
time already, and I know that the date for moving into a new home is very significant. I
am planning on moving to a condominium unit, which I have recently acquired. When is the
best time for me to move in? I am particularly concerned with keeping a loving and lasting
romantic relationship and in succeeding with my career as a journalist/manager. I was born
April 24, 1973 at 6:45 a.m. in Manila City, Philippines (Asia). I am single but I will be
sharing the unit with my boyfriend. Thank you very much and happy New Year!
Anytime in late September or early October.
I have a question and hope this is the appropriate means of asking it. My front door faces
South, and I have one of those entrances where you can see directly to the back door
(sliding glass). My problem is that with the layout of the house, it is not feasible to
put furniture or plants in front of either of the entrances to slow down the Chi. It is
also not feasible to put a tree directly in front of the sliding glass door outside, as
there is a sundeck there, and it would be right in front of the steps to the yard. What
other things can be done? I have hung wind chimes in the middle doorway and in front of
the sliding glass door, but this has not seemed to help. Thanks!!
Put a mirror over the glass sliding door facing your front door.
I have an L-shaped office with windows on far side of the L. I am a financial planner. How should I position the furniture, and what items should I have in my office to help with the flow of energy and prosperity? I had an article on Feng Shui and misplaced it regarding the above info. Thanks you for your time.
Place your desk so your back is to the wall, and you are facing the door. Put plants in all the corners real or fake, and add a water fountain with a light shining on it, and you will do fine.
We are in the process of designing a house. I seem drawn to an L-shaped (incomplete square) design, with the entrance in the center of the incomplete square. Is there anything inherent in this design that could be problematic? You say you publish question monthly---I can access thru Oct 98. Are you behind?
L-shaped homes always have problems. Square or rectangular shapes are good and do well. Yes.
I was born August 24/57 in Toronto, Canada, 6.28 a.m. I am looking to buy a home for my son and myself, so am anxious to make sure all is as good as it can be. My birth elements are Fire/Fire. Should that be a worry or can I do something to enhance my living quarters? The house I am considering is rectangular in shape, and I believe it is a "Ken." I am also a "Ken." Is this good? The back faces Northeast, while the front of the house is Southwest. A small creek is at the back of the property, and the house number is 3089. Any help you can give would be appreciated. Thanks
First, give up worrying it attracts the problems. I would change my address to a prosperity number by adding a "6" to my address in clear nail polish. Click on this link to find out more about the meanings of numbers and how to fix them, http://www.artofplacement.com/howtousenumbers.htm
I was born on October 26, 1963 (female, Scorpio). I would like to set up my own computer consulting company, and I need to submit a name of my company. Which of these names will provide prosperity and bring in clients -- Opal, Summit, Apex? Any suggestions of names will be appreciated! Also, what colors should I wear to attract love and abundance into my life? Thank you so much!
Red will attract abundance in your life. Success is a great name for your company. Summit is also a good name for a successful company.
I am new to your art -- I want to advance in my career and my wealth. My front door faces
the South, and my house number is 2125. My front door opens to a small entryway, about 3'
by 10' long, to the living room, where there is a fireplace next to the right East wall.
The fireplace can be seen from the front door and the sidewalk. Currently, I have a 6 ' by
3' mirror in a gold frame, and next to the fireplace on the West side is a sliding door
leading to the back yard. I was born 6-14-59. I would like to know the cost of
consultations, and do I send a diagram or pictures of my home?
Put a mirror facing the door in your entryway. Your address means higher new beginning. Put plants (real or fake) on both sides of your fireplace. Call 520-284-2961 for consultation details. You are now on our mailing list. Click on this link to find out more about the meanings of numbers and how to fix them, http://www.artofplacement.com/howtousenumbers.htm
I wrote you earlier this year, but our plan changed since. My husband and I fell in love
with a beautiful 1936 house that has been almost rebuilt from head to toe, and its number
is 860. The front door is facing North. The lot is 100 x 300 deep with beautiful trees and
older bushes. The front has some shrubs, but it is mainly bare with a lots of grass. I
like the situation, it's in the old district and I like the house and the
garden that I will modify because I love gardening, but for some reason I am panicking.
They painted the house with very dark colors that I will remove. I have my other house
that I have to sell. I really love the house I am in now. But I never liked the area. We
are moving for two reasons: because they are constructing a 5-lane road behind our house,
and because the area is full of young kids now -- we are the only couple without. I
dont know what to do to sell my house as fast as possible at the price I want. My
house has to be sold by June or we will be stuck with 2 mortgages. Please help. Can you
give me the name of a consultant in my area and some good books to read that are easy to
understand? I was born on November 18, 1954, around 8:00 a.m. in Montreal, Province of
Quebec, Canada.
Please call for information on a consultation.
Your web page is very impressive and from looking at it I feel you may be able to help me in my spiritual journey. I am writing in hopes that you may provide me with insights that I do not have just now. First, some background information on my self: I am 38 years old, a graduate student at Regent University, a Christian, and I am pursuing what I consider my calling. Last November, one of my professors confirmed what I have suspected for a long time -- he announced to our class, after visiting all our workstations and going over our case studies, "He is a Sage and at such a young age, too." I do not posses a great intellect; yet, I 'know' how all things work. As a teenager I studied Martial Arts and, still, even after all these years remember it and can use it when I need or want to. Once, when I was around 22 years old, I had taken a Martial Arts class as a refresher at Old Dominion University where I was a student, and received the ultimate gift of 'floating' over our class during a Kota (forgive the spelling). To my dismay I never followed up on this experience. Recently, within the last several months, I have taken a great interest in Shamanism. I feel that Shamanism offers a more realistic understanding of how everything 'fits' together as compared to other explanations that I have heard (most people try to intellectualize religion or they talk about the Holy Spirit without really knowing about it). Secondly, in 1994 I came across a financial mechanism that will allow the poor to build themselves out of poverty and, simultaneously, conserve (or revegitate) our barren lands. Soon afterwards, I felt with every cell in my body the gravity or significance this has for the United States (and the world). I have been pursuing the realization of this ever since (with great personal sacrifice). It is my hope that you will help me in finding out where (or what) the Great Spirit would like for me to do so that I am more comfortable in living such an unnormal life (unemployed, separated from family, broke and very spiritual).
You do not have to remain broke to be spiritual. It would be good for you to lead by example and teach others how to be self-sufficient. You show them how to fish so they can fish for a lifetime. Shamanism means, "to make whole." Teach people how to support themselves and work on their spiritual development at the same time. Teach confidence, not fear.
I was born on July 4, 1955 around 6 a.m. What are my good colors? Our front door faces
East -- should the door be painted Red or Blue or Green? I've read somewhere that the
Chinese used to paint their front doors Red... I am thankful to have become aware of Feng
Shui, and am thankful for your site. it's Outasite!!!!!
Chinese Red for the front door will bring you good things. Blue is a good color for your special rooms.
I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed your website!!!! All of the information is very informative and practical. Where is the best place to put some type of prayer alter or shrine in a room? Also, how can you rearrange a room so that studying and learning is most effective?
Put your prayer altar in the Money or Relationship corner both will do well. Use the New Knowledge corner to study. Make sure your back is to the corner.
Please add me to your mailing list. Thanks. Also, I have a question. I bought a house in 1995, and the address is 307. The street is on the South side, but the door faces East ... a hidden door. That puts the bedrooms on the South side, facing the street. The kitchen is on the East, and the living room and bath are on the West side. My birth date is 11/10/47, 7:16 a.m. EST, Frederick, MD. Since I have moved into this house, both of my parents have died, I lost my job and have not worked much since then. Could the Feng Shui of my house be wrong for me? I had been doing massage, but am being drawn to professional Feng Shui. Please send me info on your courses, especially, professional courses. I live an hour North of San Francisco.... do you do any courses in this area? I have made lots of Feng Shui cures, re: Black Hat Sect Feng Shui. Got any particular ideas? Thanks for your help and your web site.
Please call for a Feng Shui consultation at 520-284-2961.
I enjoy your website. I'm just learning about Feng Shui (I've read one book - Lillian Too) and, quite frankly, have found the info pertaining to the layout of my home disturbing. From what I have read, it would seem that everything is wrong. Our master bath is in the Southwest corner, and our master bedroom is located on the South side of the building -- our home is of an irregular shape (L-shaped) -- our kitchen faces Southwest, and we have fish tanks to the right of the front door, although this door we rarely use. My children sleep in an East-facing room. I'm upset by what I have read of the Pa-Kua Lo-Shu theory my husband and I both have Kua numbers of 6. Our front door faces North, although we almost always enter through a door from the garage. The garage door faces North -- the door from the garage to the house faces West -- and our back door faces West. We are both of the West-Group. Any suggestions???
You should call us for a full consultation because you have so many problems. Please call 520-284-2961 to arrange one.
I want to know if when determining the orientation of the a door to the room, what happens if I get one reading from the center of the room, North, and one as others suggest from the doorway, itself, as Northwest? Should I use the one, which by the law of the five elements draws energy from its mother element, that in this case is the North or water element?
Use the front door.
I am a teacher. I work in a classroom without windows. No natural light exists in this room. I have brought in ivy plants and a 20-gallon aquarium with some graceful Orandas. I have no energy at the end of the day. I can only think about getting out of that room! What can I do to make it more inhabitable? I was born August 19, 1972... if that helps.
Put in full-spectrum lighting in your room, and things will improve.
I am in need of help in getting my life back in order. I would like to be put on your mailing list, please.
You are now on our mailing list.
I own an energy brokerage firm called SyntexEnergy Resources. Our office in Houston has
been "Feng Shuied." I am currently contemplating a purchase of individual
biospheres (enclosed glass ecosystems with shrimp developed in AZ by The Biosphere
Project) for my brokers desk and have to choose between pyramid or circle forms. Please
enlighten me on the difference between these forms energy. Thanks.
Circle forms, if you are outside of them, will give you mental breakthroughs, then spin you away from them. Pyramids send out energy and reserve energy. I would use the circle energy.
My birth date is 9/25/52 about Noon. I am currently interviewing for two positions and
would like to know my chances of these positions. Also have had a lot of financial problems
-- will these be alleviated any in the near future?
Things are improving for you now. Your problems will slowly start improving, then the momentum will pick you up, and you will be fine.
A question regarding the placement of the Ba-Qua over my house plan the front door
of my home has been placed to the far right of the floor plan, hence, when you walk in the
door your right shoulder runs parallel to the wall (my door is not centered in the wall).
Do I place the Ba-Qua in the middle of the floor plan or at the front door, which would
essentially make it appear that a large portion of my Ba-Qua is missing, for example,
Helpful People and Travel, Creativity and Children and Relationships? Would appreciate a
reply. Thank you.
Place the Ba-Qua at your front door.
First at all, sorry for my bad English (grammar, words, etc). I'm Chilean then I live in
Southern Hemisphere and all information about Feng Shui (Internet, books) that I have
found refers to Northern Hemisphere. You said in February '98 answers for New Zealand:
"Just flip the Ba-Qua. Do everything exactly opposite of the Northern
Hemisphere." What does that mean? Must I use Ba-Qua like in a mirror-image? Must I
fix the Career-Fame-axis and turn other corners and sides? It says that my Relationship
corner is the far left corner of my building (instead of Wealth/Prosperity corner), and
the Helpful People corner is in the left corner closest to the door (instead of right).
Please, I'm confused, and I'm very interested because I need to increase my income and
other topics. What is a "Ba-Qua mirror? Is it an octagonal shape? My apartment is an
incomplete rectangular shape, and I think that it's missing part of Fame side, Wealth
corner, Health side, and part of New Knowledge corner, or part of Fame side, Relationship
corner, Children side and part of Helpful People corner, if I turn the B-Qua. Which is
right? How can I cure these missing corners and sides? That's all. Thanks a lot and thank
you for this wonderful web site.
You place the door in a Ba-Qua diagram in the North. 2. Our mirror is octagonal; it is programmed for protection, harmony, and prosperity.
First, let me congratulate you on a very beautiful, informative and rewarding site!
Its just so inviting. Since my Great Grandfather was Chinese, I've always been
interested in the history, culture, and my heritage. Therefore, I've looked to Feng Shui
lately to assist me in life's journey. I would like to ask a question that I am confident
will help change my life immediately. I was born July 15, 1962; my husbands birth
date is February 12, 1958, and my darling daughter was born June 24, 1993. We have been
married almost 7 years, since July 17, 1992. Since our union, we have always experienced
financial difficulty and, as a result, a not very deep love in our marriage that we both
crave. We moved into this bungalow, front door facing East direction, just outside
Montreal, Canada, being our first home together on June 24, 1996. Our address is 553
Seventh Avenue. I am presently unemployed, and I am currently active in my search for a
job. We have bills up to our eyeballs that won't be paid until March '99!! We wish we
could help each other financially but can't! My husband and I really need a major change
in our lives for the better, both financially and in our love for each other. I've done
some minor Feng Shui adjustments to our home with the little money that I have, such as
adding a fish bowl with 2 Goldfish near the main entry. A Red envelope placed in the SE
corner of our bedroom with affirmations in it, e.g., "my husband and I are
financially successful." In our bedroom SW corner, I hung a crystal, placed a Purple
African Violet plant, and pictures of us together from our honeymoon, etc. I Added plants
to our home, placed 2 turtle figures in the SE corner of the living room, and play loud
classical music throughout the day. Since then, no changes in our lives have occurred.
What can I do immediately that will help us? I look forward to hearing from you with
sincere appreciation.
Your street number means hard spiritual lessons; your house number is Death. You can add a "1" to the street sign with clear nail polish, and add a "3" and a "1" to your address.

I was wondering about the placement of a fountain in the home. Which is the correct position, to the right or left? Thank you for your assistance. I'm also going to visit Sedona in early April for the first time. I'm looking forward to the beauty, as well as the energy I hope to feel during my visit. Take care and thank you.
Place it where it can be seen upon entering your home. Please call 520-284-2961 to see me when you are in Sedona.
Could you please tell me if my Flat number 207 a good or a bad number. And what can I do to make things better if it is a bad number? Please include me in your mailing lists. I'm presently choosing a flat with numbers 101 & 106. Which number is better to live in? If both numbers are no good, how can I cure it if I choose either one of the flats? I have read in your previous Q&A that adding a 6 is a cure. But you have also recommended adding a number to add up to 8 is also a cure. Which one do I do?
207 is a good number; 101 is better to live in and, then, change it by adding a "6" to it with clear nail polish, and you will be fine.
Could you please tell me how to use the compass to determine where my house is facing? It seems to me whenever I move, the direction of the compass changes as well.
We are moving to 0 (zero) magnetics. You may live in a mineral-rich area, which will interfere with your compass. A military base can also affect your compass.
I work in an office where there are a lot of tension and negativity. What can I purchase
for my desk to create a more comfortable environment and, hopefully, a promotion for me? I
wrote to you a few weeks ago regarding my home and assistance there, but have not heard
back from you. Did you get my message? I was born April 15, 1951, but not sure of the time
of birth. I think it was around 2:00 A.M.
Add plants to desk. Then, add a piece of Turquoise to the desktop. I didnt get your letter regarding home assistance. Please write again or call 520-284-2961 for an appointment.
We are about to move into a new house that is a number 5. We live in Australia. The home faces East but the front door, which directly opens into the lounge room door faces South. The lounge room also has sliding doors facing East. Which doorway would be the best to use as our main entrance? Would also like to know if living in a number 5 house is good for us. My birthday is 7/5/1955. My bedroom is in the front of the home facing East - is this a good position for my room? I have also read that if we live in the Southern Hemisphere, we have to reverse the Ba-Qua map. Does that mean that if my doorway sits in my Career area that my Wealth corner would be on my opposite right corner? Would, then, the Relationship corner be on the opposite left? I hope you can help me out.
Use the East entrance. The number 5 will bring you constant changes in your life. You may add a "3" to your address to bring prosperity. The bedroom is fine, just change the compass points in reverse.

Greetings from New Jersey! I have implemented a number of "wealth-activating" cures around my home, such as a coin placed under my doormat, a frog pointed at the front door with a coin in its mouth, four Purple candles placed in the wealth section of my house, etc, etc; all of these measures seem to have backfired! I am currently unemployed and have been since July of '98! I have posed this same question to a British Feng Shui magazine and have gotten no reply. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
If you put a red envelope in your Money corner with written affirmations saying how thankful you are on having a great new job, it will help. By writing as if you already have it, you will soon have it.
Please let me know about the information updates.
We will keep you informed by posting updates to this site.
Can you please place me on the mailing list? Firstly, however, how much does it cost?
We dont charge anything for our mailing list participants; you are now on our list.
Im asking you one question I still have my Ba-Qua mirror. Where do I put it in my lovely home? My house faces West towards the lake; the entrance faces East, and my bedroom is Southeast. How much do you charge for a consultation?
Put the Ba-Qua mirror over your front door on the outside. Call 520-284-2961 for consultation information. Would love to hear from you.
I am interested in decorating my house the Feng Shui way. Any suggestions will be most appreciated.
Read Sarah Rossbacks book, "Feng Shui Interior Design." It will get you started. You can order the book from us.
Please add me to your list. I am so glad to have found your site and very much appreciate the general guidelines on how to find life stations. I have followed some, and I look forward to a consultation in the near future.
You are now on the mailing list.
My house is just in front of a graveyard.
That is not good. Until you can move, put a Ba-Qua mirror over your front door for protection. It will help greatly. I would move.
I would like to join you. Also, I would like to commend your website! It was the only one I found that answered my questions and really helped me out.
Thank you for your comments.
I am just starting to learn Feng Shui, and I have discovered that our bathroom is located in Tien Yi or the Health sector. Both of our Kua numbers are 2, and we are both West group Kun people. How bad of a problem is this, and is there anything I can do to offset Sha Chi? It is our only bathroom, and moving the bathroom would be really difficult, since the house is built on a slab. Any advice would be appreciated.
Hang a Red tassel over your toilet from the ceiling. Hang a plant in the left-hand corner of the bathroom.
Please put me on your mailing list. I am a student at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. I am doing a research project on Feng Shui and would appreciate any information that you could send to me as soon as possible. I would especially like information on Feng Shui as it relates to interior design. Thank you.
You are now on our mailing list. Order Sarah Rossbacks book, "Feng Shui Interior Design," for a start. You can order the book from us by calling 520-284-2961.
If I was born on March 15, 1965, in Guadalajara, Mexico, what am I? North, South, East or West?
You are North.
Will you be offering a correspondence course on the Internet? I am very interested in knowing more if you plan to offer one.
Yes. I will let you know the dates.
I have a pond in my courtyard, and I was told a dragon and a frog with it was good Feng Shui. Where do I put them around the pond for maximum energy? Thanks for your time.
Put them in the two far corners.
I very much enjoy reading your web site. Over the past two months, I have implemented changes to our life stations. I must admit that positive things have happened. For example, our Wealth station was located in the corner of our bedroom where my husband keeps a baseball bat and a shotgun (unloaded). I replaced these items with a beautiful healthy plant, a crystal, and a small wind chime in the corner window, which is also in our Wealth station. Two days later, I received a check from an insurance company that we no longer use. They said they overcharged us back in 1997. Two weeks later, I received another check from a company I havent done business with for at least 18 months. I am very excited about the use of Feng Shui in our lives. Many people at work want me to help them evaluate their life stations at home. Thank you so much for your help.
Youre welcome.
My partner and I own an L-shaped house that is actually two living areas, one of which is her mothers, and the other is ours. We enter through different doors, but can walk freely through the house by way of a long porch. Should this be treated as one or two units when placing the Ba-Qua map? I am using the Western Guide to Feng Shui by Tetrah Kathryn Collins. It was a gift, and its easily understood except for this. We are Pisces, Taurus and Virgo. Thanks.
Treat it as two separate places.
Please add me to your mailing list and thanks for a great site! Is the center of the Ba-Qua considered to be the Health area in some schools of Feng Shui? I just encountered a Ba-Qua in an article that mentioned books by Jami Lin that has Health in the center, just family on the center left. It actually feels right to me, so is that the way I should place the Health area?
Place it on the same wall as family.
I have tried to find some Feng Shui experts in Denmark, but it is still very new here, and its difficult to get a Feng Shui education here. I use the Internet a lot and try to get as much information as possible. Thank you for some very good pages.
Youre welcome. Keep reading you can order Feng Shui books from us by emailing or calling.
I love dried flower wreaths and have them in every room of my home. I read in a Feng Shui book not to have dried (dead) flowers in ones home. Is this a problem? If so, is there a way to balance the effects? Also, I was born 12/25/56. Will I ever marry? What can I do to speed up the possibility of marriage possibilities?
Dried flowers will be fine in your home. You will marry. You can put a picture of a wedding in your Relationship corner.
I am looking for big Feng Shui projects and the results, specifically, big buildings or industrial areas. If you know someone, please contact me or send me information.
Please contact me at 520-284-2961.
