October 2000



I just bought a new home in a very woody area. My front door faces North and has a covered porch, so I have a tree blocking it straight on. A pole that braces the porch is to a 45-degree angle, and the front door opens to a door 25 feet away leading to the back yard. I just need some advice on how to resolve these issues. Thank you.

 Make sure your front area is well lit. Have a well-delineated walkway to the front porch. Put something, such as a mirror or crystal, reflecting from the back door to the front, or place something that will attract your attention the minute you walk in the front door, so you don’t look at the back door first. Our mirrors and programmed crystals are specially designed for this kind of cure. (http://www.artofplacement.com/FengShui/product.htm)

 I’ve had a problem the past two years since I moved in with almost every water source in my house. Lots of leaks, drain problem, and a brand new washer overflows to flood the downstairs. What can I do to cure these problems?

 Where do I place dragons in my house?

 Place one near the front door, facing it. Place the others where they make you feel good. Enjoy!

 Our address is 6571, and our front door faces South. Our bedroom is in the Northern most portion of our home; it is a sq2uare room and angled such that each compass direction faces a corner. The North/Northeast wall has a window; the South/Southwest wall has a sliding glass door. The South/Southeast wall is totally bare. Presently, we have our bed angled between the North/Northeast wall and the South/Southeast wall with our feet facing the sliding glass doors. We have a ceiling fan in the middle of the room, and we both sleep very poorly. We’re getting a new, king size wooden sleigh bed, and I want to make sure I place it properly in the room. The only two possible walls because of the bed’s size are the North/Northeast and the South/Southeast wall. What can we do to help us sleep better?

 Add a “6” and a “1” to your address. Place Red dots on top of the paddles of the ceiling fan. Keep all doors to bedroom and bathroom closed while sleeping.

 I have just moved to a rental property in the country; the street number is 44. I was very concerned to find that a high voltage power line runs pas the house, approximately 30 meters away. Can you please suggest how to reduce the negative attributes of the power line?

 We bought our house a year ago, December. The previous owners ended in divorce and had many health problems. We have had health problems since moving in and trouble with our finances. The house number is 28142.

 Please send me more information, such as what you see when you enter your front door, what you see out back from the front door, whether or not there a stairway inside your house. Tell me what your bedroom setup is like. I would like to know, also, the shape of your lot. Then I can answer your question.

 I was doing some research on the symbolism of different colors and am particularly interested in the color Pink. What significance does Pink have in the Feng Shui philosophy?

 It depends on where you place the color and how much of it there is. Pink hearts help a Relationship corner. I am not in favor of full walls being Pink unless we have a real restless sleeper.

 Which direction should my head be facing when I sleep?

 The best position is your head to the North, and your feet are to the South. Some people because of their astrology may be better off facing another direction. For more information, I would have to know your birth date and layout of the room. It may also affect direction.

 I live in apartment #147C and have the bathroom in the Relationship corner, where I keep the toilet and sink closed at all times when not in use.

The closet is in the Family and Financial areas. What can I do to better my life?

On a previous post, you said a Triangle was the “death lot.” My house is on a trapezoid lot, like a rectangle but smaller on one end. My house sits on the wider part. A consultant said to plant shrubs to make the lot a rectangle and put a water fountain in the East with the water flowing back toward the house. I also added a “1” to the address to make “8.” The front door is at 119 degrees. Any suggestions?

 Make sure the pathway to the main entrance is neat and clean. Make sure the entrance is well lighted.

 I have a degree and am studying for financial planning qualification, but cannot get out of my current job as an administrator, nor the salary that goes with it. I know I have a bad desk position at work with no fixed wall behind my desk, and everybody walks behind me. I am unsure how to make it better. I have no natural light/windows unless I turn 50 degrees. I cannot change the position of my desk.

 Place a small mirror on your desk where you can see anyone coming up behind you. Place a small plant at the Money corner of your desk with coins in it. The plant can be either real or fake.

 I have had constant uphill battles at work. I exposed fraud within the company – my superior was involved and fired – saving the company millions. While I am now doing his job, the pay increase was a pittance. I have a picture of a mountain and a Sun & Moon behind me, and a waterfall in front. My office is rectangular shape (number is D109), and I face West when working on the computer.

 Add a “6” and a “1” to your office number with clear nail polish. Ask for a raise if you feel worth it. You are too much a loner. Be more social at work, and your star will rise. Our “Attracting Prosperity” Package can help.

 My husband and I are going through a divorce. We live in South Africa, and I have just realized that our Relationship corner (Southwest) is the corner where our front door is on the South wall. Outside is our neighbor’s drain. What can I do? Should I fence our boundary so I won’t see the drain?

 Paint the drain Red at the bottom. Send me more information, like your address number, your birth dates, and where you live in relationship to your neighbor. I will be able to help you more.  Click on this link to find out more about the meanings of numbers and how to fix them,  http://www.artofplacement.com/FengShui/numbers.htm

 Is it possible that my weight problems could be due to an overabundance of the Earth element in my home? What kind of enhancements can be made around the house to correct this?

 I live on the second floor of a house divided into two apartments. The Health area is a hallway. At one end is the bathroom (Children/Creativity), and at the other is a walk-in closet (Family). The wall that runs end to end (bathroom to closet) is stone. The middle portion of the hallway is wide open to the dining room – no wall (Career). My creativity is good, my health is OK The Family area is a problem, and I have thought about painting the interior of the closet Green. How can I enhance these areas and fill in the missing wall in the Career area?

 My house is two stories, faces South, and the address is 32. The Relationship corner on the first floor is a bright pantry extension of the kitchen with cupboards and plants.

 According to what I’ve read, bed placement should be determined according to the male’s birth date. However, in a bedroom with two females what determines the placement? At first the foot of the bed was facing the door, but we moved it under the window.

 It would be best if the bed was not under the window and that your feet point toward the door, where you can see anyone enter the bedroom.

 I am in a bad financial situation and trying to begin my own catering business. I want to design a business card that attracts business and good luck. I have a sketch of some marshy grass and wildflowers. Is there a way to hide some symbols in the sketch or do anything to bring me business?

 Place the flowers and marsh on the Left side of the card or add a sun on the Left side – both will work.

 We have had a male Red Cardinal that seems to like to peck at our side door and window. He is very persistent, and we cannot figure out what he wants. This has been going on for almost two years. There are times when the female joins him. Does this mean anything?

 It is a very good sign of coming prosperity and joy.

 We’ve had a lot of change in our life and, currently, my family is living in a house number 53. We are both suffering from change fatigue, but would like some positive change to be beneficial to the family. We are looking to improve our careers and increase our prosperity. I recently saw a fountain that was filled with lovely stones, but it also had a candle in the center – I was not sure if the candle was a good idea. I have plants and an amethyst in the SW corner of our living room, and would like to have a fountain there. I have enhanced our Relationship corner in our bedroom and have seen the relationship improve.

 Everything you’ve done is working well. Your address will be very positive for you.  Click on this link to find out more about the meanings of numbers and how to fix them,  http://www.artofplacement.com/FengShui/numbers.htm The fountain works well if you are burning a candle in it or have a light shining on it at all times.

 We have recently moved our graphic design business to new premises, which overlook an historic graveyard. It’s actually beautiful with antique sandstone headstones - a very serene, calm view. I believe the graveyard has not been used for over thirty years. Would this have any affect on our business? Only the back doors and balcony face the graveyard. Our front door is painted Red and does not face that area.

 Place chimes and small mirrors facing the graveyard. I would look for another site for my business.

 We have a business within a 32,000-sq. ft. building. Not all of it is used. Should we use only the office area when determining the life stations? It is a long hall with offices on either side, and a reception area at one end by the door. The address is 320.

 Add the number “3” to your address. I use the whole building and the whole office.  Click on this link to find out more about the meanings of numbers and how to fix them,  http://www.artofplacement.com/FengShui/numbers.htm

 Place Red dots on the top of each fan paddle.

 My partner and I share an office. We’ve made some changes to the office that have had a positive effect, but we’re confused on how to use the Ba-Qua. Is the Relationship corner always in the far back Right corner? Do you use it on the home as a whole and, also, in individual rooms?

 Place the Ba-Qua so the Relationship corner is always the far Right-hand corner from the front door. Each room has a Relationship corner at the far Right-hand corner of that room’s entry.

 Does Water Bamboo and its claims to being good luck have any connection to Feng Shui?

 It was originally a form used in India. It will bring you good luck.

 Why is the number “4” in the area of wealth and prosperity if it’s such a negative number?

 A friend of mine purchased a 3-legged frog with Red eyes. She was advised by a Feng Shui expert to put the frog facing the door to bring in money. The frog is quite an ugly little critter, and I wonder whether you know of such an item. I do not want to see bad luck come to my friend.

 The frog used in Feng Shui has a coin in his mouth. If yours has a coin, use it. If not, place a coin there and face the frog to the front door.

 My husband and I just moved into his deceased parents’ home. We inherited it and sold our house. The address is #52, and I added a “1” in clear nail polish. The front door faces Southwest. There is a beautiful lake across the street, but there is a smaller lake on the Northeast side of the house and an in-ground pool at the back.

 I’m selling my home. What is a good way to welcome a new buyer?

 Place a Red bow on the front door – like the house is a gift package. Make sure the entrance is well lighted and neat.

 My house is cluttered with many items that are of no use, but are consider valuable to my husband.

 You must clean up the clutter and make it neat or you will be tired and in constant struggle.

 My desk is placed so that I am open to a long hallway when the door is open. A friend told me that this could lead to illness or a loss of a job. I have been unwell physically, and I have unexplained doubts about my job. Could these symptoms be Feng Shui-based?

 Place a small mirror on your desk facing up the hallway. Put a plant on the side of the desk closest to the door, and things will improve.

 I have heard that wind chimes hung indoors is a “no-no” in Feng Shui. Is that true? Why? I have wind chimes in various places throughout the house, and they are “right” to me – they were hung by instinct/intuition years ago before I had even heard of Feng Shui.

 Your indoor chimes are fine. They help and do no harm.

 Our address is 688. My husband has been plagued for weeks with lower back pain radiating down his leg. What can I do to improve his health? Our house faces North, our bedroom is in the Health life station, and our master bath is in the Wealth station.

 We will be moving into a duplex next month. The space is slightly rectangular with a porch on the front right as part of that rectangle. The front door faces the porch and you have to turn Right when you walk into the house. Is the side of the house the door is on the front, therefore, the Career area, or is it all askew because of its angle? What should I do about it?

 Set the Ba-Qua from the entrance of your main door.
