I need to know if my entrance would be my porch door (East facing) or my inside front door, which faces North. Please reply with this info.

Your “entrance” is your porch door.

There is a small entryway into our home in which the closet is the first thing you see upon entering. You make an immediate right and enter the dining/living room. Since this small architectural detail juts out from an otherwise perfect rectangle, do I orient the Ba-Qua at the actual door or the main opening to the house? 

Position the Ba-Qua from the actual door.

I was born 6/1962, my house number is 8702, and it seems I just can't get ahead in love or finances. My home is brick with black shutters and doors. My bedroom is in the far Left-hand corner of the house (facing the front door). I need any advice you can give, please!!

Circle the “2” in your address with clear nail polish and do his in a clockwise direction. Paint your shutters Red.

I truly enjoy your site. I have incorporated some of the examples you suggest throughout your Q & segments. I noticed that you tell others to add certain numbers to their existing house numbers. Do you tally up the house numbers to become one and then add a number to it to bring good luck? Or do you take the whole house number and look at each number individually?? My house number is 1250 for increased wealth and relationships. Would I add the number "8"?? Or the number "3"??

Your address number is already an “8.”

I would like to know the best color to paint our front door. The front door faces Northwest.

Paint your door Chinese Red.

Our "center" of the house is a stairway going up 6 stairs to the bedrooms and a bathroom. I hung a Sun made of wood above the stairs that is Green with a Yellow center. Is this a good place to hang a Sun?

Yes, and, also, hang a small mirror.

I am very new to Feng Shui and am looking for answers/suggestions. I'm recently engaged and just moved with my fiancée to our home (which we're currently renovating). The address is 2215 - we are getting married March 16/02. Our house faces South, and we cannot see the backyard from the front door. We are very happy and financially fine. My question is how can we set up our new home to
maintain our love, happiness and prosperity for a lifetime together?

Add a “6” to your address with clear nail polish.

Bathrooms obviously have to go somewhere in the floor plan. If building a new home, could you tell me some of the "less inauspicious" places for the bathroom(s) to go? I know it's advised not to put them in your Wealth or Romance areas. And, the center of your home offsets the family's health. What alternatives are there?

Next to your bedrooms, which should be in one of the main corner of your house, remember to place the bathroom on either side of your corner bedroom.

My front door opens to a hallway and when you come in through the front door, the living and dining rooms are open and on your Right. The patio sliding doors are on the dining room side. My question is will Chi come in my front and leave through the dining room slider doors? What can I do to stop the flow of Chi or such?

Place a mirror over dining room doors, and hang a crystal in the doorway.

My family and I moved to a new house (house number 1923), and the front door faces South. Behind our backyard is a busy road that keeps me up at night. Can you help me with my problem?

Add a “1” and a “1” to your address. Hang chimes in front of the window that faces the busy road.

Do you place the grid for the areas of Feng Shui forces on your whole house or, rather, do you split up each room?

Place the Ba-Qua for the whole house and, again, for each room in the house.

A friend of mine has two concrete lions protecting her front door. When she
moved recently, one of the lions ended up with a broken paw, which she has
since repaired. She also had two small lions inside on her work desk. One
was broken recently by accident, and it broke the same way the outside one
did. She is worried this means something. Does it?

Just replace the broken ones – don’t just “repair” – and she will be fine.

How can I create a calming retreat? I have a two year-old and a six month-old. Any suggestions?

Use a well-lit room and place things in that room that you like that make you feel good. Keep nothing that you don’t like – put those items in the trash.

We are buying a house in which the stairs lead down directly into a bathroom. Is this bad Feng Shui? How can I remedy this situation? Thank you!

Hang a crystal from the ceiling over the outside of the bathroom door.

We seem to be getting a lot of people looking at our house but no one has bid on it yet. Our address is 3028. What can we do?

Add a “3” and a “1” to your address in clear nail polish.

Which direction is your bed supposed to face for peace and harmony in your home?

Place the bed so your head faces North.

Our family bed is a king-size mattress atop a divided box spring (really two box springs). How can we overcome the disruptive nature of this arrangement? Husband, wife, toddler and infant all sleep on this bed. We really can't afford a new bed right now. Thank you kindly.

Place quilts over mattress before you put on sheets.

I am renting an apartment and think the bed will only fit under the window, which is across from the door to the room. On each side of the door are mirrored closet doors that will reflect when sleeping. I am concerned about what to do.

Place your bed at the corner facing the door.

I have a very nice flat. The entrance is on the North, and the living room is at the South. The morning sun is in my bedroom. The flat is looking to the South and East. My problem is when I enter from the main door I can see the window of the balcony which is the other end of my flat. So the Chi comes in and gets out very quickly. I read in your questions and answers section that I can place a big tree or a
reflecting object for that window. It is a big window, and I can’t place a big plant there or a mirror or a wind chime. If I put up a curtain for that window, will it work? Or if I put mirrors or pictures in the hallway, would that be OK? My Love/Relationship corner is also there, and I made up a nice small table there with happy couple pictures, Red candles, and hearts, etc. I don’t want to put anything negative there, but is the window causing money to come and go very, very quickly? I flush the toilet with seat cover closed. My door number is 46. Shall I add an 8 to it or something else?

Curtains will help, and you can hang a crystal from the ceiling.

According to Feng Shui, what is the first item that I should take into my new house?

Food for abundance or a heart for love – or both together.

For a Feng Shui consultation, whose birthday do you use, the wife or the husband's birthdates to get a specific coloring for the inside of the house?

Use both birthdays, then blend the colors.

I'm planning to move to a new apartment. When the door is opened, the stairway goes directly to the bedroom. Does this affect anything at all? Thanks for your help.

Place a mirror over the outside of the bedroom door; any size is fine.

I have been married 21 years and am looking to boost our love life. Is there a specific color of bed sheets that will help?

Black or Pink satin sheets.

How do convex mirrors affect energy? Should they be used? If so, where should they be placed? Where should they not be placed?

Place mirrors opposite things that are higher than your property.

I was wondering if I need to cleanse and burn sage in a new home just built?

It’s good to burn sage in any new home; keep doors and windows open while burning sage.
