Questions & Answers March 2002

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/FengShui/product.htm   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.

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.

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.
