I have heard about writing an affirmation as a thank you to put in the wealth corner and the relationship corner. My husband is waiting for a promotion which I will place in the wealth corner. I also want to lose a lot of weight where would I place an affirmation to help. I have read about putting it in a red envelope and then someone else said green paper, do I do both. How would I word these and would I use the corners for the whole house or just the room corner to put them in for maximum benefit.

Write your affirmation as a thank you for the promotion you husband has already received and place it in the main wealth corner of the house and the wealth corner of your bedroom. Put the weight loss affirmation in the same corners. Write it as if you have already lost the weight.

We are looking at designing our own house using Feng Shui principles I was going to locate the main bedroom in the relationship corner and children rooms down the children side and a study in the wealth corner. What areas are the best to site the living room, kitchen, dining room, bathroom and a double lock up garage. We live in Australia, is the Ba Qua reversed as for New Zealand.

Place the living room in the new knowledge corner , the kitchen on the fame wall. Keep the bathrooms our of the center of the house or any major corners of the house. The south has the power in Australia. Always set the Ba-Qua from the front door.

I just started a new job about two months ago. I'm working in a cube for the first time, which is an adjustment in itself, but since I've started, one of the electrical outlets had to be fixed. My computer has a major problem about once a week. My car broke down on the way to the client. My money got stuck in the vending machine and nothing came out. I put a mirror in my cube so I can see who's coming up behind me, but that's about it. I'm still on the fence on whether I like this job or not. Is there something I should be doing? Or are these all obvious signs that I'm not supposed to be there?

No. The problems you are describing are a result of the Uranus transit with Mercury retrograde. It goes away at the end of April and you will be fine. The mirror in you cube is a good idea. All plants real or fake in the corners of your cube.

I live in a two-story house. Is it necessary for the appropriate corners on BOTH floors to be properly enhanced? Also, how do I handle an open, see-through stairway? Our main seating area is grouped around this.

The more areas you enhance the greater your chi. Regarding the stairway, hang a mobile in the sitting area facing the stairway and add plants to the sitting room area.

I recently discovered that my kua number (born November 1963) and my husband's (born August 1959) are completely opposite with regard to the 8 points of the compass. Is this bad? What can we do?

It is not bad, it is a gift. Your husband will bring you up in areas that you are weak and you will do the same for him.

We are considering buying a house. There is a river in front and hills behind which I intuitively liked. Upon reading about desirable elements, these seem to be quite good for a residence. However, the river is flowing from right to left, and the books I've seen seem to indicate that the river should flow from left to right. What might the effects be? Is there a way to counter any ill effects that might come from this circumstance? The 3rd question is, how or where is located the "question and answer section" that is referred to on your home page? I'm interested in what questions other people have, as well as hoping to see a response to mine. So far, I haven't found that section.

Set up mirrors that reflect up river in your yard and you will be fine. The mirrors can be as small as one inch square. They are available at http://www.artofplacement.com   This is the Questions & Answers Section you asked about.

I was born on November 6, 1971 (Scorpio, feminine) I have long dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. What would be the best color for my clothes? I live in Vienna/Austria (that's in Europe) and would like to start a Feng Shui education? Do you know somebody doing Feng Shui courses in Austria or maybe in Germany?

Red will help you do very well. You should wear red accents on most days . If you wear a lot of red all the time you will raise your blood pressure. I will going to Germany in the future. Watch the sire for dates.

I have be attempting to learn and use Feng Shui for about 6 years. I have a black grand piano in my wealth corner of my career room. I always felt good about it. The color and the energy emoted by the music felt positive. My husband's company folded. I had to figure out what cure to effect! Eureka! I had the top of the piano up, angled toward the door, I saw all the wealth flowing out the door near the piano. I put the lid down; he got a great job. So now the.... Question: We are moving because of the job. We live in a 4 (310) house. Lots of work, work, work. What would be a good house # for us? His birthday: 10-21-1941. My birthday: 12-5-1956. I'm leaning toward a 6 or 8 if possible. I desire fun, a garden, beauty, security and a feeling of abundance for my family and all who will visit me.

The numbers 6,8, & 9 will bring you success. Good call on the piano mouth.

What colors for the home do you recommend for a couple; one born in 30 March, the other 22 June?

I will need you date of birth for the best answer.

I just recently (approx 8 months ago) opened a bookstore/gift shop. Books are primarily self-help, 12 step recovery, spiritual, and Christian and Native. (I live in a native community, though not native myself. I recently had a medicine man come in and bless the store. I am concerned as to the lack of sales in the last month or so. People are coming in, browsing, but leaving quickly. They are not lingering as they did in the beginning. I have made some changes, in construction, and have a feeling that this is some of the problem. My other problem is I cannot afford to undo what is now done. I wonder if you could give me some insight. Shelving is all done in pine. Roof in one room is angled. (room directly across for door entrance) Entrance room is full of light, huge picture window in front, I have hung a crystal in the window recently. Third room has no window, recently reconstructed to add local art works, and ceramic gift ware etc. There are no plants other than one Aloe Vera plant given to me by my mother in law sitting on my desk, directly in front of the entrance door. Can you please offer me any suggestions.....I would appreciate any help you may give me. I have just printed off the information from your site, and will read it to see if I can find some of the answers in there.

Put 1 inch mirror squares on the floor facing up in the four corners of your store. Put affirmations on your sales in your money corner in a red envelope as if your goals have already been met. Read the articles on the web site for more information. The mirrors are also available.

I am currently enrolled as a Junior in Sisters High School (Oregon). Recently, I took on a semester project centered around the beneficial aspects of Feng Shui. Unfortunately, this is a subject in which I know nothing. I was hoping you might take a minute to answer a few questions I had to help me complete this project. I was wondering: Are there any beneficial aspects on one's health as a result of utilizing Feng Shui? What are some basic techniques for an average household? Are there any negative repercussions if one implements this technique in the exact opposite manner for which it was intended? Do you believe Feng Shui will have a greater impact on our society in the future? Are there any great success stories you've been told from people choosing to use this method in their own lives?

Success stories happen everyday. Look at how Donald Trump has done. He used Feng Shui on a building for $237,000 and sold it for over $8,000,000,000. If the energy is set right in your house than good health will follow. Sarah Rossbachs book Interior Design with Feng Shui (this can be purchased from our site http://www.artofplacement.com) is the best beginner book on the market, I suggest to read it for the basics. You are correct, if you do Feng Shui incorrectly it can be disastrous. Feng Shui will become a household prerequisite for all of us.

Tony, Could you possible help me? I am suffering from a female problem of non cancerous tumor in uterus. Which Feng Shui area should I adjust. I have made adjustments but it hasn't dissolved. Can you suggest something? Would this be related to center of relationship area?

Make sure you do not have a mirror shining across your bed that hits the middle of you body. That type of cancer comes from being a performer for love. Tell your mate to hold you for you and make sure that they make you feel they love you for you.

We live in a modular built home. You walk into the basement from the south. The "real" front door is up on the East side of the house, you walk into the kitchen upstairs...most all people use the basement door as the front door. There is a kitchen area down there also you face it right when you walk into the door. The house is set up differently than most homes I have read about. It has a huge beam running through the upstairs and downstairs as major supports. Do you have any insight as to how to increase our prosperity and Spiritual awareness as to connect more with our higher guides? I am interested in becoming certified but until I can afford it, I thought you could help us out.

The Flute cures found on our web site can be used to cures the beam that runs through the house. Add plants to all corners and put spiritual goals in your wealth corner as if they have already happened. Send you phone number and address to be put on our Certification mailing list.

I am 41 years old and have never been married. I also bought a home (the new house number is 14, but the house I currently reside in is #7) , into which I am unable to move due to the ill health of my parents. What can I do to increase my chances of marrying, as well as increase the possibility of moving into my new home? I have hung crystals in the windows and put up wind chimes already. I'm willing to do anything, even change the number of either or both homes if the new energies will help!

Change you address number from 7 to 8 and things will be fine.  Click on this link to find out more about the meanings of numbers and how to fix them,  http://www.artofplacement.com/howtousenumbers.htm

HELLO, I am writing from Italy and I would like to know if you can suggest me any Feng Shui expert in Italy; I am going to buy an house and I need to see an expert before.

At this time I have no one to recommend to you in Italy. I may be coming to Italy in the future and will post it on the site.

Hello, I am writing from Italy and I apologize for my English not always correct. Me and my boy-friend want to buy a house and we have seen some houses; we have read a couple of books of Feng Shui and we would like to know if the position is very important, I mean the last house we have recently seen is about 50 meter from the train road but the there is a garden between the house and the train road. Also the main entrance is situated at north and the bathroom is near the entrance on the first floor (at north); upstairs instead the bathroom is situated in the north-west part of the house: i read that this is bad but it is impossible to move the bath, it would cost so much. Also our bedroom is situated upstairs in the northern part of the house but the bed position is directed to the south-south-west and we cannot move it otherwise the bed would be in front of the door bedroom. What a problem! We like the house but we do not know if it is good: the owners are both nice, they have a good job (the wife is teacher and the husband engineer), a son and a 17 years old dog!

Do not move near the train road it will disturb the energy of your house. It is a good time for you to move. You should work for yourself.

I was born on 26.02.1965 and my boy-friend 20.02.1969 and we leave in the eastern part of Italy (near the border with ex Yugoslavia), is this good time to move for us? Also I never had luck with jobs, I am accountant and I am working since ten years but I always got bad paid and bad treatment in the different places I worked. Thank you very much for your kind answer.

Put a plant, obelisk and fountain in your wealth corner. Put a read envelope with your money goals inside of it. Write then in the present tense, as if they have already happened.

In the master bedroom I cannot put the head of the bed on the north wall as it is too narrow due the entrance to the master bathroom at the northwest corner, and the entrance door to the bedroom opens to the north wall. Currently the head of the bed is on the south wall, to the west are large windows, and on the east wall is a dresser with double oval mirrors and the entrance to the bedroom. There are two ceiling beams that cross from east to west. One 31" from the head of the bed (over our hip area), the other 31" out from the north wall. There is also a ceiling fan over the foot area of the bed. The colors in my comforter folded at the foot of the bed, dust ruffle & balloon window shades are dark plum, dark green, navy, red, gold & black paisley. The main comforter and pillows are all white. White side panel drapes and white min -blinds. The walls are a very light plum almost lavendar/taupe color with a dark plum chair railing and stripped wallpaper on the lower half of the walls in colors of dark plum, dark green, navy, taupe & gold. The crown molding and ceiling beams are also dark plum. When entering from the front door of our home, the northwest corner is our relationship life Station; when entering from the side door which is off the carport area, which is where we enter daily), the northwest corner is our wealth corner. My husband's birthday is 5-17-49 and my birthday is 3-12-52. Any suggestions to enhance our relationship & wealth stations? Any insight you may give us would be greatly appreciated. Also our home address is 7206.

Put a mirror on the north wall facing the bed. Use the flute cures on our site to cure the beam. Make sure the ceiling fan spins clockwise as if you are looking down from the roof. Put plants or obelisk or fountain in the wealth corner. Put your pictures in the relationship corner, also add a heart and plant.

I have an 'L' shaped house and would like to know how I can apply the Bagua Template to the house.

First read the articles on our web site. The Ba-Qua is always applied from the front door.

I have just started to discover Feng Shui and am starting to incorporate it into my life. I was so glad to find your helpful webpage. I have a question. I live in an upstairs 2-bedroom rectangular apartment. My problem is that I must use one bedroom for work-related storage. I am using the smaller bedroom in the southwest corner of my apartment for storage and using the larger bedroom in the wealth corner for my bedroom. I am single and would like to find a relationship, so I have activated the southwest corner of my bedroom with red roses, a heart-shaped crystal, and a plant. Is this good enough, or is it terribly bad Feng Shui to have a) a relatively inactive room and b) in a location of a life station that I want to activate?

Put red envelopes in your relationship corner with affirmations about the relationship you wish to attract as if it has already happened.

My apartment is a rectangle, facing North, with the Main Entrance to the South, and there is a large walking window and a balcony facing a lake at the fame station.

Add two more fish to your tank. All plants to your room. Install full spectrum lighting and the baby will improve. Put a Ba-Qua mirror inside the house on the wall facing the entrance.

We live in a two story house and use the back door most frequently (coming from the driveway). This door is on the left side of the house if we are coming in from the back, so it would be in the "new knowledge" section. Unfortunately, this is the laundry room. This laundry room and another room beside it (in the helpful people area) were additions that were added to the house on the first floor only. The second floor is composed only of the original house, creating a "missing area" in the new knowledge, career, and helpful people on the second floor. That is, no room is above the laundry room.

Use the side door and put a picture of a university on the wall in the new knowledge corner. Don't worry about the 2nd floor.

I just purchased a goldfish, and am trying to find out which direction is best for "her" and myself?

In north America you should always have your back to the north.

Do you have any products/Consultants in the Las Vegas-Henderson area.

Yes we do, give us a call at 520-284-2961.

I am a stay at home Mom with a livestock home business that I've been growing since 1990.

You suggested to me to put a fountain in our bedroom in our prosperity corner. Is there anything else I can use besides a fountain, for we are short on funds.

Put a plant and an obelisk in your prosperity corner. A bowl with coins in it. Burn a candle in the corner.

I am a 5th year student of architecture in Rome at "la terza" university. I just started a research about Feng Shui for one of my courses. I'd like to join your mailing list and get some more information about it.

We will put you on our mailing list. Check back every month for new information.

I was wondering about my office at the Navy Reserve. My office never "sees" the daylight. I did put my writing table facing the door. And I turned my bookshelf, it was facing me now it facing the door. And I did hang a chime in one corner. The Feng Shui says to add some yang energy. I leave on a light always. The problem is my boss doesn't want me to leave the light on. One of my friends suggested to bring a clear crystal and program it to attract all the negative energy and transform it in to joy, harmony and prosperity, and change it every 10 days. I began this job on January 1998 and it is very difficult for me. Can you help me to make the good energy flow again in my department?

Bring in plants to the office, they can be real or fake. Bring in turquoise and program it for all to live in harmony in your office.

I have just purchased a new house in Australia. What basic principles should I use to start off with good Feng Shui in our new home? Our house faces a westerly direction. I have a home business which I would like to continue to grow. Should I position anything special in specific areas? Do you have any recommendations on colors to use in the house as I have to repaint and lay new floor coverings? I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Make the basic shape of the house either square or rectangular. Do not attach the garage to the house. If you add a second story on the house keep it the same size as the first floor. Do not have a stairway near the front door.

Recently I had to move to Rio de Janeiro. The old owner of the apartment left it because she could not effort the money to survive here. The place has two bad location: First, the T of the front street comes inside the garage of the building (by the side of my apartment). Second, in the location of money there is an empty quarter building abandoned because the fabric of paper had failure. How could I balance the energy that comes from that old closed building? (It is in the South of my apartment).

Put a Ba-Qua Mirror over the front door and hang chimes out front to save the tee. Put a plant in your far left corner of your apartment. You may write to me: c/o Wind & Water at 2675 W. Hwy 89 A, Suite 1214, Sedona, AZ 96336

I need to know the best color for Taurus (May 10,1964) for the clothes that I need to wear, interior color and for business success. And also for someone who was born on December 28,1940.

Taurus, best color is red. Do not wear too much red -- it can raise your blood pressure. Red, lots of red accents. Capricorn, best colors are Black & White.

My parents' house is in front of the busy road and the road is up hill. Is this a bad location? They have a merchandise and drug store business since 1965 but until now they have a shortage in money. Is there any cure for this? P.S. The front is a commercial space and the back is their residential space, but this is connected to each other.

They should put a wind sock and chimes out front of their business hanging from the overhang. A hill is not the best place for their business. The address is important. Email us with it.  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 reading that you can place red dots on the corners and on the ceiling fan above your bed. My question is do you put the red dots on each corner of the furniture, and also do you put the red dots on the outside or underneath the corners. My husband and I work really hard, but have difficulty saving any money. We have a two story colonial house. The main door and the garage face east. We always use the garage to enter with our cars. We then enter the mudroom -- this door faces south and this takes us into the kitchen. My question is do we consider the garage entrance as the main entrance or the front door, or the mudroom door? If I use the main door or the garage door my wealth corner is in my dining room, which is the southwest. If I use the mudroom then my wealth corner is in the living room which would be the southeast. Also our bedroom is on the upper level with cathedral ceiling, and fan, with the bathroom adjoining the bedroom. The toilet is in the southwest corner. Please advice as to what I can do to improve my finances.

Check our site for products we sell a Feng Shui cures kit that includes red dots. A fan over a bed going counter clockwise will end relationships. If you like a fan over your bed make sure it spins clockwise (as if you are looking down from the roof).

I have remarried and live in the house that my husband and his first wife lived. She died from cancer. She did not die in this house. Somehow I still feel uncomfortable living in this house after eight months. Are there changes that I can make to each room to make it mine or more comfortable? What about colors. I am an Aquarius, monkey, born 1/28/44. My husband is a Scorpio born 11/19/43. Our address is #12 = 3 which should be okay.

Burn sage and walk along the left wall of each room making a clockwise circle. Add lights that shine back at the house near each corner of the house. Paint the house so it is as light as possible. The address is fine.  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 own a home that has many exposed beams throughout the house. It is in a modified A-frame style. I've read that flutes and wind chimes should be hung to reduce the "poison arrow" effects of the beams. The books don't tell how many to hang and where to hang them. Can you help?

Wind & Water caries flutes just for this cure with complete instructions, see the web site at http://www.artofplacement.com/. Hang the flutes at 45 degrees angles on each end of the beam. It takes two flutes per beam. Use on beams people will be sitting or sleeping under.

I am born on August 10, 1972 at 8:50 a.m. in Singapore, and am planning to open a home furnishings store here in the United States. The store location has yet to be finalized, but could you please give me some guidelines on what colors, layout, good dates and Feng Shui advice on opening the store based on my birth date? We plan to open it in late 1998 or early 1999. I would also appreciate any further expert advice you could furnish regarding other Feng Shui aspects of my life I should be paying attention to, given my birth date. Thank you very much!

Open your store on the first Tuesday after your Birthday. The walls in a light beige with green trim or accents.

We are upgrading to a king size bed -- something we have always wanted, and can now afford (as well, our dogs like to join us while we watch TV). What is the cure for the larger size bed. What is the cure for a TV in the bedroom.

Cover the front of the TV when sleeping. Sleep closer together when sleeping in a king size bed. Shui believes you lose intimacy when sleeping too far apart.

I am 41 years old and have never been married. I also bought a home (the new house number is 14, but the house I currently reside in is #7) , into which I am unable to move due to the ill health of my parents. What can I do to increase my chances of marrying, as well as increase the possibility of moving into my new home? I have hung crystals in the windows and put up wind chimes already. I'm willing to do anything, even change the number of either or both homes if the new energies will help!

Put a picture of your parents feeling well on the left hand wall of the house, this is the health wall. Put a picture of a woman and one of you in your relationship corner.

I have a five year old son with communication difficulties (expressive and receptive). Are there any changes I can make in the area of Feng Shui in our home to help him?

Put a picture of a school tower in the close left hand corner of the Childs room.   Make the color of the room yellow.

Our home is the shape of a rectangle. Facing the house, the right front corner is the garage, in the helpful people section, attached to the structure of the house. The entrance to the garage is from the front. (There is no entrance directly from the house to the garage.) We basically use the garage for storage, not to park the car in. Is there any way to enhance this area of the bagua?

Put a crystal or obelisk is the front right corner of the garage.

After my family moved in to a new flat exactly one yr later 4 of my loved ones living in the new flat passed away in a tragic accident with me as the only survivor. I need help for I suspect this tragedy has to do with the Feng Shui of my house.

Is your flat on a triangle shape lot that is below grade?

Our house is located below the grade of a road and also we are beside the funeral parlor. What is the cure for this?

Use small mirrors to reflect the grave yard away. Shine lights back at the house from the corner of the property. In Feng Shui it is not good to live within 5 miles of a grave yard. Build a wall between you and the grave yard.

I have read a number of books and it seems the more I read the more confused I get -- between the different schools, directions, and whatever else is involved.

Start our reading Sarah Rossbachs, Interior Design with Feng Shui. We will put you on our mailing list.

My wife and I are moving near the first of June to Tampa, Florida. Should you know of any Feng Shui masters practicing in or around that area, we would appreciate being able to contact them.

Can a fireplace and electrical appliances in the "Fortunate Blessings Area" could cause loss of money?

Appliances are not a problem, but I would strongly suggest that you do not put a fireplace in your corner.

Sales or anything that has you working with the public.

A 7 pointed star will do the job just fine.

I was born on Dec. 1, 1962 at approx, 10:30 pm, will I have a prosperous life, or how can I have a better prosperous life?

In our bedroom we have full wall length mirrored wardrobes and they are impossible to cover at night. Apart from replacing them, can you suggest any way to cover them at night or to help the flow of chi.

Put a mirror on the opposite wall facing the mirrored wardrobes. Put red dots on the split in the mirror.

I live in Australia and an trying to sell my house but have had not success so far. I had a lady here today to help me as we live lower than the road she said we should put a light at the top of the drive way to reflect down and also the land drops away so she said we should also have one facing up wards the house is this correct. Also in the house she said to break up the hallway with sunflower and poppy prints in red and yellow is this all correct? We also had two mirrored cup boars that faced out of the front door which she said to move and face them inwards instead.

The lady is correct in all her advice.

I am confused about the directions of the BAGUA. I feel intuitively that I should line the Baqua with the actual directions on the compass, But the workshops that I have attended say to always have a Kan at the front door.

Line up the ba-qua from the front entrance.

Southern hemisphere is exactly opposite of the northern hemisphere.
