I was born on January 2^nd, 46 years ago. What would be the best area of work for me at this time?

Is it true that using wallpapers and mirrors in the bedroom is not auspicious?

Thank you for your excellent website. I have recently developed interest in Feng Shui. I have been having problems, especially financial problems, from the time I shifted to my own home. My husband’s date of birth is 7 July 1951, and mine is 6 July 1968. Our home number is C310. Although I feel the house has been lucky for me because I have a good job, my husband’s career and in turn our financial position is becoming bad, day by day. Could you advise me any small changes? I cannot afford a consultant at the moment. Our house is a second floor flat. The staircase of the building is in front of our entrance door.

I am very new to Feng Shui. My birth date is 4 March 1962, and my boyfriend’s is 16 September 1961. We are getting married in February – any suggestions to make things go well? Our address is 3974.

After reading two books about Feng Shui and reading some of your questions and answers section, I am left thoroughly confused about how to place the Ba-Qua map over my house plan. Should it be based on real compass points or on the placement of our front door? Also, the actual front door is not the door we use most. The most used entrance faces South and opens into a small entrance area of our kitchen/great room. Should this be considered the main entrance even though it is not our “formal” entrance?

I have a central staircase straight up from the front door to the master bedroom. Both are double doors. There is a hall around the entire staircase. I am told this is very bad. What can I do to change this?

Our house number is 55. My birth date is 18 March 1947, and his is 3 May 1941. We live a block from a freeway, which we hear al the time. We planted one small tree in our tiny front lot and two flowering bushes to camouflage the sounds to no avail. Could this also be part of our very bad careers and financial fortune?

I have never enjoyed a more informative site than yours. Thanks so very much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom. My question is, how can I use Feng Shui to help with my environmental allergies? Also, I have been single for 14 years and am not ready to have a lasting relationship. My DOB is 13 July 1951, 9:16 p.m., Texas.

My date of birth is 23 March 1969, and my address is 5517. I live in a NE-facing house with an entrance, NE also. I have metal chimes near the front door. My bedroom is NW. I have been an acute depression for over a year. I’d like to know if there is a remedy or if my address is inauspicious.

My boyfriend (1 March 1960 Water) and I (13 June 1970 Wood) live in a U-shaped house facing East with an address number of 1075. I understand this is a good direction for me. Our home office is located in the NW corner of the house. I have been very unsuccessful at finding employment that I enjoy and find challenging. What can I do to help improve my prospects?

I am moving into an office and have mapped out the basics that I know for the Feng Shui grid. Where I recognize a problem is at the Wealth corner – there is a hallway, stretching to the Left a good eight feet, then dead-ends.  What kind of cure can I apply to this corner?

We purchased a new automobile about six months ago. Within that period of time, the driver’s side of the car has been vandalized twice, once when the car was parked in a lot at a baseball game, and the second time probably at a shopping mall parking garage. The damage each time was done by someone, probably, using a key and deeply scratching the driver’s side from one end to the other. The first damage was repaired, and the second time just happened about two weeks ago. We are stunned and wondering if there is anything we can do inside the car to remedy this bad luck. The car is black. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. We have searched everywhere for any mention of Feng Shui and cars, but have found no help.

What do you feel about peacock feathers? I use them for Feng Shui around the house, and a friend told me this was not a good thing to do.

I am enjoying your website very much. Our daughter was born on 4 January 1997 at 10:28 p.m. in London. I am worried that her date of birth is coming to number 4. Our address is 13. Should I add numbers “3” and “1” before it.

My front door opens in front of my stairs to the 2^nd floor. At the top of the stairs is a bathroom. It is my understanding that this may be a problem. The door and the staircase are “off set” a little. What do you think?

I am new to Feng Shui. I will be moving to my little office, which is virtually the last office on the South side of the office building, next to the conference room. I will have file cabinets and bookcases in the office. Where should I position my desk, my computer? What could I do to make this space a good one for me? I am in Human Resources Administration. My birth date is 22 February 1952, and my office address is 7230. Is there anything that I should be doing to my home address (521), South facing front door, to enhance my success in my new job?

There are three aquariums in our kitchen. They are to the Left of the front door and are in the Southern area of the house, somewhat SW. We are newlyweds already having marriage problems. The wife believes the fish tanks are in bad places. Is it bad Feng Shui to have aquariums in the kitchen?

Our office is on the second floor of our house, but we’re not sure where the Wealth corner is because the stair entrance to the second floor is different from the entrance to the house. Should we use a different Ba-Qua for each floor?

My husband’s auto repair shop stays very dusty and gritty – he is installing two exhaust fans to clear the air. How do we keep the good Chi from going out through the fans? Thanks for you excellent website!

My husband was born in 1968, and I was born in 1962. His number is 2, mine is 4, and we are in a house facing East. How can I correct the bad Feng Shui?

I’ve been reading your site for some time. It’s really interesting. I did read some books about Feng Shui, as well. I live in a house with the number 3. My flat has number 14. Is that a good number?

My sister is going to try to sell her house, which faces South. What color should she paint her foyer for successful showings?

How will a fountain in my Fame/Relationship corner help the flow?

I am a firm believer in Feng Shui, but am at my wit’s end as to how to help my husband. He’s an Aries, born 28 March 1947 at 8:20 a.m. I first met him 25 years ago, and he was a dynamo. We were out of touch for many years, and re reentered my live six years ago. He had been through a difficult emotional and financial time, but seemed, I thought, to be pulling himself together. He has not held a job (this is a man with an extensive education and great mind!) in over ten years. As a result, we are strapped financially. He seems completely unable to focus on anything long enough to bring it to fruition. There is a history in his family of depression and addiction. What areas in my home should I concentrate on in order to help him?

I was born 11 November 1967 and currently live in a townhouse with the number 2250-67. How is this affecting my life? Do I have to do anything to improve? A relationship ended last year – can it be revived. What can I do to bring that person back into my life? 

I am from California and plan to marry a Canadian from Manitoba in the spring. My date of birth is 16 October 1962 – I am a Tiger, born in Malaysia at sunset/twilight (about 6 p.m.). My boyfriend’s date of birth is 7 August 1948, and he was born in the year of the Rat. Are we going to be happy together? We are also looking to buy a new house; the address is 218. Can you please advise if that is a good number?

Do you have a few suggestions for librarians to use in interior design (colors, placement of computers, reference desks)? How about something to insure the return of borrowed books.

I would like to know what the future holds for my little girl, health wise. Her birthday is on 5 February 1998. She was born at 16:00 on a Wednesday afternoon. Her left eye was removed on 25 January 1999, a few days before her first birthday. She goes for regular checks for the right eye. She has bilateral retinoblastoma. She is a lovely child.

We have a muted Gold and Brown rug with a repeating pattern of round spirals in our great room that sort of sits in the middle of the house, but looks out a rear North-facing wall of windows. The rug makes the room feel sort of dead, and I’m thinking of changing it out and getting one with more vibrant colors – maybe using a bright Gold, Blue, and Red of the furnishings in the room. Is this a good idea?

My husband’s birth date is 6 June 1958 – he is a Gemini and, according to Chinese astrology, an Earth Dog. Mine is 8 October 1969, born 11:10 p.m. – a Libra and, according to Chinese astrology, an Earth Rooster. We have a baby on the way, due 8 March 2000 – he should be Pisces and, according to Chinese astrology, a Metal Dragon. We are considering moving to a brand new house (still in construction) on 30 April of this year. The address is 57 Mint Leaf. The house is more or less square in shape, sitting on a lot that is an elongated rectangle with the tip an extended triangle. The main entrance faces South, and there is a ravine in the North, so there is open space. My problem is that the house sits directly opposite a “T” junction, which I have heard brings bad Feng Shui. If this is so, are there any preventive measures we can take to ensure protection and a happy home for our newborn baby and us?

I have been living in a second-story apartment, #56, for six years now. The building, itself, is in poor repair, especially the paint and front door, which is peeling. The front door opens on a staircase that turns to the Right. I have put a mirror at the landing in the staircase, one at the bottom of the staircase, and wind chimes at the bottom of the stairs. I would also like to improve my relationship prospects. I want to get married and get a better job. Unfortunately, moving is not a financial option right now. What can I do to enhance my situation?

My birth date is 14 February 1944. I am paid on my job by commission. The last two months my sales have dried up. My job is East of my home. Another company wants to hire me, but they are also East of my home – a little closer. What should I do? I am feeling like a failure right now. After reading about Feng Shui, I feel like I am in the wrong place, but can’t make a decision on what to do. Please help.

We are renting a house with the street number “13854” and are considering the purchase of a property with the number 522, where the front faces Southeast. I was born 20 June 1964, and my husband was born on 13 May 1962. What can we do to enhance our existing property, and will the new property be auspicious?

Is it possible to influence the flow of Chi with the use of color? For instance, choosing pictures/paintings of certain hues, or, maybe, paintings and pictures of certain objects?

I just discovered your cool and very interesting website. I was wondering what you could tell me about my house number, 73. My birth date is 5 August 1960, and my husband’s is 27 April 1951.

My wife and I are new to Feng Shui, and we have a question that we have not found the answer to in any of our books. We have the cremated remains of five family pets in a mirrored, wooden curio cabinet. We are wondering as to what sector of the Ba-Qua we should place their remains. Currently, they are in the Wealth/Prosperity section of our bedroom, which is in the Love/Marriage area of our house.

I am originally from Manila, Philippines, but recently relocated in Northern California. I was born on 17 February 1967 at 10:36 p.m. My husband was born on 1 April 1958. We got married last this past January 6, and we’re scheduled to move into our new house before the end of January. Our new house is in a cul-de-sac, but is not the corner house. It sites on the North with the front door facing South, however, our address is 4520. I often read in Feng Shui books that “45” is an unlucky number. What number should we add to our address?

My husband and I just built part of our new house on 24 acres of wooded land overlooking a river with mountains past the river. We have only done the first floor of the house (interior still not finished). It is a T-shape – two rectangles at right angels to each other. The front door is on the bottom right side of the top of the “T.” It is on a SE site; upon entering you face NW. How would I locate the life stations? Would I do it for each section of the “T?” Or as one unit?

My husband and I got married almost three years ago on 10 April 1997, and since then our lives have been a disaster. He had an accident and almost died ten days after our marriage. Recently we moved to a new home in a new town, hoping that our financial situation would be get better. The number is 4718, and the entrance is SE. As you enter, the main living room is at the Left, and the hallway to the children’s rooms is to the Right. As you enter, the kitchen is on the Left, and the family room is on the Right. Can you tell us where our Wealth corner is?

Recently through a friend I have heard of mirrors, Red dots, lighting. Please tell me more. I am very much interested.

When a home sites parallel to running water, does it matter which way the water is flowing? It’s running parallel to the length of the house.

I have been learning about Feng Shui and am a little confused – my house faces South in the SW corner of my living room, where I’ve put a fish aquarium. Will this help? I can’t put a plant in my Prosperity corner because that is a wall where my couch sits. If I put a plant in the SW corner, would that be OK? My birthday is 15 August 1958, and my husband’s is 2 April 1954; our street address is 67.

We have just moved into our new home – the address is 5 Alwen Rd., #8. The house is L-shaped. We live in South Africa, and the advice you suggest is to flip the Ba-Qua diagram. When this is done, there appears to be a few stations missing, such as Marriage, Children, and Helpful People. What do I do to remedy this?

I work for the Child Sexual Abuse Investigations Unit for the State of Texas – a very stressful but satisfying environment. Regarding Feng Shui for my office, I work in the middle of a large room, surrounded by people and all around me are doors to other small, cubicle-like offices, along with the door leading out into the hall. I am not against a wall, and there are no windows directly in the room. I am restricted to what personal items I can place on my desk. What suggestion do you have for someone with such limits?

Which door should I consider my South for Ba-Qua purposes?

He keeps saying it is him, not me, and all his thinking is suddenly self-centered. Our front door is North, and there is a bathroom in our Relationship corner. Please help.
