Questions & Answers
March 2001


Opening the front door of my apartment, I see straight through another door into my bedroom; the bathroom is to the left between the two doors. What cures should I place to keep things balanced and harmonious? 

Place something near your entrance door that makes people look at when they enter your apartment. Keep bedroom door shut, as well as the bathroom door. 

I currently live with my boyfriend and am new to Feng Shui. In our bedroom, we painted the Fame wall Orange. Does this color hold any meaning? 

It could cause people to have affairs. 

My far Right corner when you enter the master bedroom (the Relationship corner) is missing slightly. It is not cut out, but goes off to a 45-degree angle two feet after you enter. I wasn’t sure if I should use plants, mirrors, or crystals to fix it. My new apartment number is 302. Does that have anything to do with it? 

Add a “3” to your apartment number with clear nail polish. Hang a Sun and Half Moon in your Relationship corner. 

My front door faces South and opens to a small landing with a staircase going up to kitchen and bedrooms, and dining room. It goes down to a family room and bedroom. I have read that the stairs going and down form a vortex. How can I improve the feelings of confusion in this space? 

Place a plant in-between the two sets of stairs. 

The address on the sign for the trailer park we live in is 7625, and the building next door is 7645; the sign also has a phone number – 593-5473. Since adding a number in clear nail polish affects an address, am I correct in assuming that all of the numbers on the sign should add up to “8?”  This is a 2-sided sign so should all of the numbers on both sides be added together? 

Add a “6” to 7625. Add a “3” and a “1” to 7645. The phone number is for completion.  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 have a concern about energy left from the person who lived in my condo before me, six years ago. The previous owner left two kitchen barstools. I’ve been advised to get rid of them. What is your advice about that? 

Sage the stools and keep them. 

What colors would you recommend for a bedroom for a 12-year old girl who could benefit from self-confidence and the skills to make new friends? 

Yellow with Green accents would help.

I have four rooms with ceiling fans. Is there anything I can do short of removing them? 

Place Red dots on the top side of the fan blades.

 I have followed your suggestions about hanging Pink hears in the Relationship areas in my house and added pictures of couples in love, candles, and affirmations in Red envelopes. Is there something else I can try?

I have heard the position of the bed N/S or E/W can make a big difference in comfort and sleep. 

Head North with feet South is good. Head East with feet West is next best. 

Is there one simple book I can read to make my home environment more enjoyable with love, health, and happiness? 

You can order Sarah Rossbach’s “Feng Shui Interior Design” from our website

I operate a small contracting business out of my home. The condo is on the second floor at the Southwest corner. The address is 213; business is only fair. Could there be a problem with the condo number? 

Add a “1” and a “1” to your address.  Click on this link to find out more about the meanings of numbers and how to fix them,  http://www.artofplacement.com/howtousenumbers.htm

What does a Jade plant placed by a door to the outside signify in Feng Shui?

 Good luck.

 We have a beam with a fan attached to it right over our bed. Since we rent, we can’t remove it. What can we do to augment the negative energy the fan creates? 

Place flutes at either end of the bean at a 45° angle. You may order these from us on our website. Place Red dots on top of the fan blades. 

I have a waterbed and wanted to know your thoughts about it. It is heated by electricity. The head of the bed is at the Southeast wall.  

Place head of bed in North, if possible. I don’t like electric heat – it scrambles our energy. 

We have three doorways in a row. How can I allow Chi to enter and expand through this area? 

Hang mobiles from the ceiling in-between the doors.

Can I use Feng Shui to achieve winning Big game lottery?

 You can give yourself a better chance by placing cures in your Money corner. Start with a plan that has coins in the pot. 

What do you mean when you say that Feng Shui is taught to Asian masters by “immortals?” 

Originally, immortals or aliens taught the first masters. 

The Money area in my house is at the Southwest corner, which, unfortunately, is a closet. What can I do to enhance my money flow?  

Place a fake plant in the closet with coins in the pot.

 My bathroom is located in the Health area of our house. Any suggestions?

 Place the color Orange in part of the bathroom, such as Orange candles. 

I have a huge mirror built into the wall of the fireplace, and my front door opens opposite this mirror. Does this cut off the Chi coming inside the house? If so, what can I do to remedy the situation? 

Place a table with flowers on it in-between the mirror and the door.

 My Prosperity/Money corner is a walk-in closet. What can I do to maximize the positive energy in this area?

 Place a fake plant inside the corner that has coins in the pot.

 My computer room is in the extreme Left corner of my house. The house number is 4. What can I do to increase the flow of wealth and prosperity into our home?

 The half-duplex I am purchasing has a bathroom door in direct line with the entrance door. The toilet and sink are on the same wall (facing West). What can I do to make this more positive?

 Keep bathroom door shut. Hang something with nature in it on the door of the bathroom.

 I am moving into a new home, which is three years old. The previous owners are an Asian couple with one small child. I met the woman and their son and felt very comfortable with them. I am moving into this house with my two sons. Should I perform a space clearing as soon as I move in?

 Yes, you always clear a new space.

 My house number is 551. Does that mean it adds up to a “2,” equaling loss and divorce?

 Add the number “6” to your address with 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

 As you enter our small, rectangular shaped house, you face a half wall with see-through shelves on the upper half. This wall is the defining element for the small foyer. The landing here is only about 5 square feet and you look through the shelf into the dinette and beyond into the kitchen. I am concerned that the wall is reflecting positive chi back out the front door. Any suggestions? How about a hanging crystal in the middle shelf?

 The crystal will be fine.

 What can I do when my front door faces a bathroom where the first thing you see is a toilet? 

Close the door and place a nature picture on the outside of the door.

 Am I losing Chi if my front door opens to a stairway and there is a skylight at the top of the stairway? 

Yes. Place plants on either side of the top and bottom of the stairs.

 I would like to know what I could do to enhance positively in my 15-year old son. 

Place his picture in your Relationship corner with positive affirmations in a Red envelope under his picture.

 The front entrance to our house will be via a breezeway attached to the house. I designed the door directly opposite the front door in this breezeway. I read that it’s not appropriate to see another door from the front door if there is a hallway in between them. Does this apply if both doors are in the same room directly across from each other? 

It is a great loss of energy and money when a door is lined up with the entrance door. Don’t do that. The room’s two doors are not a critical concern.

 Is it okay to place a mirror on the wall facing the door?

 It’s okay if there are plants or flowers in-between the mirror and the door. 

The master bedroom has wardrobes one wall with mirrored sliding doors. Is there a cure other than removing them? 

Place a mirror on the opposite wall facing the mirrored doors.

 I just purchased a colorful, handmade, painted, wooden 39-piece fish mobile. What placement in the house would be appropriate?

 A Money corner or in a room that is quite large.

 My stove is in the Relationship corner of my home. I’ve been having difficulty with professors and my friendships seem to be dwindling. My husband and I are harmonious, however, is there something I can do to remedy, especially, the irritation from my professors? 

Hang something Red above the stove.

 Do tropical fish play a roll in Feng Shui and if so, what do the size, shape, and colors mean? 

Eight Gold or Red fish and 1 Black fish or 8 Black and one Gold or Red fish – total 9 – is the best number of fish to have.

 I’m trying to bring more money into my studio. Right now, my color scheme is Off White and Lavender and Soft Purple. What other colors should I paint the walls or add in accessories?

 Add Red or Green accents.

 I have a painful condition called Fibromyalgia. Reading through your Questions & Answers sections, I notice you recommend using Orange Felt as a cure for arthritis. Any recommendations for coping with constant pain?

 Orange will help you, along with live food such as uncooked vegetables. Sunlight helps, also. 

What do I consider my front door? The “real” front door that I hardly ever use? Or, the back door that I almost always use? What if that back door connects with the garage? Are there precautions I need to take?

 The door that is used most often is the one you set the house by.

 We are losing money since we moved to this house one year ago. Two bathrooms are located above the kitchen. House number is 20.

Add the number “6” to your address.   Click on this link to find out more about the meanings of numbers and how to fix them,  http://www.artofplacement.com/howtousenumbers.htm

 What do I do to promote auspicious Feng Shui in a high school classroom that holds 26 desks, plus one for a teacher? The room is used primarily for math, faces a long street, and has a pyramid-shaped clock tower hanging over it.

 The key to a good classroom is sunlight or full-spectrum lighting. Place plants in the room with pictures of nature. 

I have a front porch that runs the entire width of the house, and it has 4 square posts. We’ve lived in this house for two years and have nothing but one money problem after another. Are square posts bad?

 Hang a fish windsock in the Money corner of the porch. Add plants to the porch.

 The garage has been turned into my room. It has beams that go the length of my body when sleeping. What can I do.

 Order our flute kit. It will cure your problems with the beams.

 My 19-month old son’s crib is directly in front of the door in our bedroom. My bed is not in direct view of the door, however, the room is small and space is limited. My son does not sleep well and wakes often during the night. What can I do to help him rest better? 

Put a mirror on his crib facing the door on the part of the crib closest to the door.

 I was told that it was against Feng Shui principles to sleep in a bed if a mirror faces the foot of the bed. In both my bedrooms, the dresser with attached mirror is facing the fit of the bed. Should I rearrange the mirror?

 Either move the dresser or place a mirror on the opposite wall facing the dresser mirror.

 Should you always have all mirrors facing other mirrors?

 If they are “cutting” your bed, you place one opposite.

 When putting Red dots on appliance edges, is one enough? Or, do you need to put several? Also, when you say to put the dots on edges, do you mean the squared edge or just flat above or under the edge? 

All places will work. Two dots are enough.

 I have purchased a 3-legged toad with a coin in its mouth. Kindly advise me where exactly it has to be positioned and what I should do to enhance the Money and Relationship corners.

 The corner farthest Left from the entrance door is your Money corner. Place plants (coins inside the pots) in this corner. Place the toad near your main entrance. Hang a Red or Pink heart in your farthest Right-hand corner from the entrance to enhance your Relationship corner.

 My bathroom occupies the space of my Children’s lifestation. It is small with no windows and doesn’t seem an appropriate place to hang my children’s pictures. There is no sunlight for a plant to grow and thrive. Since I moved here about four years ago, the relationship with my two children has been practically nonexistent.

 Add full-spectrum lighting and fake plants to your room.

 My house faces Northwest. Directly behind the house is a large, old wood building. I would like to paint the side of this building that faces my house with a Blue sky and clouds. What that be a good idea?

 Yes, it would be fine to paint the building like that.
