My laundry is placed in the Wealth corner of my home, where there are washing machines and dryers – one of each doesn’t work – and a linen/broom cupboard. A garden shed is also in the Wealth corner of the block of land. My finances have been going downhill since I moved here. Can you tell me how I can bring more money into my life? 

Hang a plant from the ceiling in the Money corner in the laundry. Place a fish windsock on top of the shed in the Money corner of the yard. Money will improve. 

I’m interested in buying a house where there is a splitting staircase as you enter the front door. Is this bad Feng Shui? If so, what can I do to make it better? 

I would not buy this house. It is bad Feng Shui. 

Ever since I rearranged our room, we’ve had bad money troubles. Is it because our Money corner is an empty room for storage? Or, does it have to do with the bed being directly under a window. The house we rent has very little closet space, so I need the storage room.  

You have to put a plant in the Money corner of your storage room with coins in the pot of the plant. 

We recently bought a condo (#433) and learned that one of the former owners developed Alzheimer’s while living there. Before we move in, I want to cleanse our new home. Sarah Rossback’s book, featured on your website, suggested a technique using sage incense. I’m unclear as to what to say while burning the sage. Can you help? Any other actions I should take?  

This sage is cleaning out Sha energy and bringing only Chi to this home. 

What cure do you offer for a fine art gallery facing a “T” junction? 

Place a Ba-Qua mirror over the front entrance. You can order from our website. Hang crystals or chimes in all windows facing the “T” intersection. 

My condo’s front door opens directly into my kitchen/living area. Since moving in, I’ve steadily put on weight and been unable to lose it, even though I don’t overeat. Could the position of the kitchen be the problem? 

Yes. Hang a mobile near the entrance to the kitchen and place a Ba-Qua mirror over the front door. See our website for easy ordering and free shipping within the United States. 

Is it bad Feng Shui if your second floor bedroom’s bed is directly above the main floor kitchen stove? If so, what can be done to rectify this without moving the bed or stove?

We are getting ready to move into a townhouse (#1374); our front door faces the West, and the back door and patio are to the East. There is a basement, as well as two floors with two bedrooms on the top floor. We are trying to have a baby. What suggestions do you have to make our new home and lives successful and lucky and peaceful? I am not sure how to map our home with doorways to the East and West. 

Your house number means spiritual help. Place a mirror facing up the basement stairs. Look at the Ba-Qua mirrors you can order on our website. 

My home is a split-level, and my bedroom suite is downstairs. Upstairs, there is a study/dining room in the North area. My kitchen is to the South with the lounge to the SW. I wish to remove central cupboards and the breakfast bar in the kitchen and move the dining table into the kitchen, where it will be used more often, allowing me to use the study solely as a study. Will it enhance the Feng Shui or will it cause problems? 

A separate dining room is better, but if everyone doesn’t sit down at the table together, it will be fine moved into the kitchen. 

We opened a business five months ago; the address is 4020, Suite #148. How can we improve our chances for success?

My new apartment has problems relating to water. One faucet is very difficult to turn On and Off; another one is also hard to turn Off and has a slow drip; the toilet takes forever to fill and runs for awhile afterwards; the shower has a lot of water running out of the spigot while the shower is going. I’ve put in a maintenance request. What is water related to in this case and what Feng Shui cures can I use to counteract these problems should they persist or arise again until I can have them fixed? 

These water problems bring emotional unrest. Add bright lights to your house, and place a turtle near your front door with a coin in its mouth. 

What can the Helpful people corner do and how do I activate it? 

It can bring you people to help you in all your endeavors. It also will bring you reliable home repair people. Place a plant in that corner. 

My apartment building’s front door faces Southwest; its number is 257. The first door on the Right is my apartment, Number 2.

Can I put a large mirror in the foyer area directly facing the front door as it opens? 

Yes.

Place an Obelisk in your Money corner.  

When you look at the eight sides of the Ba-Qua for placement of the corners and walls, do you look at each room, or the whole building, or both? Also, which of the two is more important? 

You first treat the house as a whole. Then place the Ba-Qua for each individual room. They both have great strengths, but the entire house is the strongest.

Our new home is Beige and Brick, but the front door, shutters, and garage door are all black. What color would you recommend? 

A Chinese Red door. The rest is fine. 

I’ve placed a 3-legged toad god in the Southeast corner of my sitting room. Can you please advise if I should leave the coin in its mouth at all times, or remove it at night and replace first thing in the morning? Also, is it possible to place the toad in a money plant? 

Leave the coin in its mouth at all times. You can put the frog in your Money corner, also.

It is bad Feng Shui. Don’t buy near a cemetery. 

The house faces West, but we mostly use the Southeast kitchen door. The house was boarded up for ten years, and the address is #422. I have felt agitated and uncomfortable in this house and have wondered about our compatibility.  The backyard has ten inches of landfill covered with a bit of dry soil, and the foundation is cracked – it least to the Southeast. The hardwood floor is bowed up in the living room. What can we do to make it better?
