Question 1: Confused about the trigrams arrangement on Bagua Mirrors?
Hi Scholar,
Why the bagua trigrams I see over the internet are different
from what is actually found in the bagua trigram arrangements
in the bagua mirrors you sell? In the internet, the CHIEN
trigram is in the bottom right, but in your bagua mirror
the CHIEN trigram is in the top. Please let me know.
RUTHCHEESMAN
Answer:
Dear Ruthcheesman,
The reason is because there were two types of arrangements
for the trigrams in the bagua, namely the EARLY HEAVEN
and LATER HEAVEN bagua trigrams. The proper arrangement
is the EARLY HEAVEN arrangement originated from the I-Ching,
whereby the bagua should have the Chien trigram at the
top and Kun trigram at the bottom to set up potent energy
in repelling bad luck. Only such arrangement produces
powerful effects and is suggested as the premium requirement
by authentic classical feng shui masters.
Situations that normally
requires bagua cure
|
We also would like to extend our advice
to readers that it is always recommended to use only the
"concave bagua" and not the "convex bagua"
when dispelling rushing shar chi. The convex bagua reflects
shar chi to scatter all over the places and cause damage
to the feng shui of your surrounding area including your
neighbours' feng shui. This could cause harm to your neighbourhood
which could bring accidents and disasters in front of
your home vicinity. It could also invite unnecessary bagua
war among neighbours. Remember that if you hang such a
bagua, your neighbour will have to defend by using stronger
cures back against you.

For those who wants to dispel off stronger
shar chi such as those from the cemetery, churches, sharp
arrows and a large flyover bridge, you may choose to use
the Fu Dog Bagua as an alternative for more powerful protection.

Good luck to you!

Question
2: Combatting Water Star#5 in Flying Stars of a home
Dear Feng Shui Scholar,
I am borned on 31/08/1964 and has ming kua 9. Wife-8, daughter-4,
sons-7 and 2. We are living in an apartment building facing
S2 which entrance to the building facing E1 in a period
7 house. The entrance to our apartment is at the NE sector
of the apartment unit. This NE palace has a combination
of 9-1-5-8 (mountain-base-water-annual stars). It said that
the five ghosts and the "direct spirit" (zhen shen) reside
here for 20 years! I have had a great misfortune due to
this. What remedy should I have to apply for this cure?
We cannot avoid this palace since this is the only in-and-out
of the apartment. Pls advice. Thank you very much in advance.
Vincent Nguyen
Answer:
Dear Vincent,
We are terribly sorry to hear about the misfortune. But don't worry, the problem you are facing is very easy to remedy.
9-5 is one of the worst combinations
because 9 is a magnifier and 5 is deadly. Water star#5
could bring financial losses, bankruptcy and disaster
if not well taken care of especially where the maindoor
is because each time you open the door, the swing of the
door activates it. For readers out there, for your information
this water star #5 is different from the annual affliction
Five Yellow. This water star#5 stays permanently in the
same sector of a house. Meanwhile, the annual Five Yellow
moves about from year to year. Both are fatal and must
be cured. You may check your home's water star#5 here.
The remedy is very simple, just place
one or more 5-Element Pagoda in that area to capture this
water star#5. If you feel one is not enough, because ths
space is big or because you use the door too often or
the door is too big, then by all means place a few more
and it can go up to 6 maximum in the same location. Also
hang 2 six rods windchime in front of your entrace by
the side of the door. That should help resolve your problem
and leave you no worries. You and your whole family will
be safe then.

Question 3: Placing the ashes
of a beloved pet
Hi Feng Shui Scholar,
I have recently suffered the loss of my beloved pet. We have her ashes in our house. Is there a special place to kkep the ashes in the house or would we be better off making a special spot to bury the ashes outside?
Thanks,
Barbara
Answer:
Hello Barbara,
Greetings. Our condolences regarding the passing away of your beloved pet.
The remains of the death is considered
to be "yin energy" and is not suitable to remain
in a "yang dwelling". Although your own pet
will not harm you, but we still advise you to bury it
outside the house. We believe that life is made from earth
and when they die, they should go back to earth, therefore
burying it is the best. I know it is hard to go over the
hard time at this moment, but more time will heal everything.
I m sure your pet would like to see you strengthen up
and continue to lead a good life.
Please find a spot in the garden and bury it. But please do not put a cross or make any grave stones in the garden. Remember to chant good words and visualize that your pet has found a good place in heaven when you bury it.
Hope this helps.
Good days ahead of you.
Good luck!
Warmest Regards,
Feng Shui Scholar

Question 4: Overcome unhappiness
and finding true love
Dear FS Scholar,
Came onto the Feng Shui Bestbuy website in hopes that I
could find something to help my life go in good directions.
My birthdate is Feb.11, 1986. About 2 and a half years ago,
my brother passed away, and right after my boyfriend cheated
on me and I have been unlucky with any other guys that are
in my life. Everyone seems to smother me or not be interested.
The only thing going well is my advancement in my job. Please
suggest any products I could use and what to do with them.
Thank you very very much!
Janelle
Answer:
Dear Janelle,
We are sorry to hear about the misfortunes that you are facing.
To get over with the bad tidings and
sufferings quick, you may invite the Red Robe Laughing
Buddha to bring in new energy and revitalize the moods.
The Laughing Buddha brings happiness and removes obstacles
and hardships so that you will enjoy a smooth ride in
the coming days.

Next, please check if there is any affliction
in these two locations of your house you are staying:
1. Southwest corner
2. Your Nien Yen corner
Afflictions means having toilet, store
room or kitchen there. You may cure SW with a metal windchime
if it is afflicted with a toilet. Depending on the location
of your nien yen, if afflicted, you may cure with "5
Element Method". This cure method does not only apply
to your four good directions of the 8 Mansions Formula,
but it also applies to you if you practise 8 Aspirations
Theory:
1. Toilet in the South - place an urn of water.
2. Toilet in the East and SE - hang a 5-rods windchime.
3. Toilet in the West and NW - use bright lights and red curtains in the toilet.
4. Toilet in the North - place large earthen pots/furnishing or stone in the toilet.
5. Toilet in the NE and SW - hang a 5-rods windchime or
use green curtains in the toilet.
5 Rods Windchime
|
Next best thing for you to do is to orientate
your head to point to the nien yen direction when you
sleep. The best is move your bed to a solid wall of your
nien yen direction. Remember that there must be a solid
wall at the head of your bed. Avoid sleeping with your
head pointing to empty spaces, toilet or windows even
though that direction is good for you. Also when you watch
tv or eat your meals, you need to also try your best to
face the nien yen direction.

To accelerate your new love luck and
invite someone into your life, you may utilize the effective
Peach
Blossom Flower Luck Formula. According to your birthdate,
your zodiac is Tiger. Therefore your Peach Blossom Animal
is Rabbit. Place this rabbit in your peach blossom direction
which is the "east" corner of your bedroom,
living room and your office. It will definitely spruce
up your love luck and invite proposals.

Next, to ensure
a smooth relationship in future, place one or more rose
quartz crystal ball in your southwest corner and nien

wear the rose quartz apple pendant to invite peaceful
relationships to you. Don't forget also the other potent
love enhancers like "double happiness symbol" that could
bring you strong marriage luck.

And to ensure not meeting bad lovers
and instead getting an everlasting lover, get the magical

you may also wear the jade mystic knot pendant. Remember
to also get the dragon-phoenix coin set for marital bliss.

Question 5: Curing hallways
and slow down rushing chi into the toilet
Dear FS Scholar,
My front door opens onto a narrow straight hallway which
ends in a T-junction. The bathroom door faces directly towards
the front door. The righth and 'arm' of the T leads to the
kitchen, the left-hand to the bedrooms, with the master
bedroom door facing down the hallway. All the hallways are
very narrow, so no room for furniture. I keep the bathroom
door closed at all times, but wonder if there is anything
else I should do to mitigate its effect.
Anne
Answer:
Dear Anne,
To slow down the rushing chi all the way into your toilet,
you got to hang the faceted crystal balls along the narrow
hallway leading to your toilet. Also try to hang some
good feng shui pictures on the walls along the hallway
to slow down the chi. This will remedy your problem instantly.

Question 6: Using feng shui
to help in curing chronic illness
Dear FS Scholar,
I have a son who has a chronic illness. My son gets sicker when it's FULL MOON. Is there anything that you can recommend? I really appreciate your help regarding this matter. Thank you.
Stella
Answer:
Dear Stella,
We are sorry to hear about your son's condition. We have
had a discussion among ourselves here, and have not had
experience with the Full Moon syndrome. But we will let
you know what you should do using feng shui.
First and foremost, please seek medical
advice from a professional doctor and follow doctor's
prescription. Next is to seek religious help too if possible.
 
Genuine Bamboo Flutes and
Natural Crystal Star of David cures internal poison
arrows
|
From a feng shui perspective, there are a few things you could do.
Firstly, check to make sure there are
no poison arrows, be it external or internal. Large pointing
sharp objects, T-junctions, a straight pole etc could
exert negative forces through the windows of his room.
If there are any of those things, please cure them by
placing a bagua outsite his window. You may also hang
some faceted crystal balls to deflect away the shar chi.
Internally, if there are any beams, by all means move
his bed away from it. Cure the beams with a pair of genuine
bamboo flutes. Do not let any sharp edges of furniture
pieces or pillars shooting at him as well. Wrap or camouflage
them intelligently using other furniture pieces or cloth
or anything you can think of. If you want to deflect away any other bad types of energy just in case you cannot see them, place the 7 crystal balled Star of David in the bedroom.

Then check your home's permanent flying
star chart depending on when your house was built and
the facing direction of the house. Determine where water
and mountain stars #2's and #5's are. Make sure they are
cured properly with 5
Element Pagoda and 6
Coin Metal Wulou. If his bedroom is located in those
areas, you can choose to move him out to another better
room.
As for enhancement, there are two sectors very important for your son.
1. His personal Tien Yi direction, this is his heaven doctor's location and direction. If possible let him live in the corner of the house where his Tien Yi direction is. Also let his head point to that corner. Place a pair of natural wulou in this area and his bedroom.
2. East corner - universal health corner according to bagua 8 Aspirations. Place the 5 Bats Longevity Amulet in this location and also the tortoise.
If possible, please cook with oven or
rice cooker that opens and faces his Tien Yi direction
as well.

Question 7: Do-it-yourself
Feng Shui of a condo
Dear FS Scholar,
Hello! I just moved to a condo and I'm interested in a feng
shui practioner in my area. I live in Rhode Island. Do you
know of any good ones. I would love to start this process
as soon as pssible. Thank you.
Vanessa
Answer:
Dear Vanessa,
We are sorry we do not know of any feng shui master available in your area. But, don't worry. We always believe in the "do-it-yourself" first.
Here are the simple steps:
1. Protect against any poison arrows external and internal
to your house. External poison arrows are such as roof
ridges, sharp angles, straight road, big tree etc that
are facing your windows and doors. For condominiums in
specific, normally if your maindoor is facing a staircase,
escalator or lift, place a pair
of fu dogs to cure the rushing shar chi.
2. Check your personal kua
number and orientate your door, stove, bed and dining
positions.
3. Check your flying stars, cure the bad ones and enhance
the good ones.
4. Activate each corner according to 8 Aspirations theory.

Good luck to you.

Question 8: How to cure a
mirror?
Dear FS Scholar,
You stated that bed next to mirror was not good. What would you suggest or recommend to cure this bad chi.
Rosalina
Answer:
Dear Rosalina,
You got to block the mirror out of sight
with a partition or a cloth or remove it right away. You
cannot cure a mirror other than removing it because the
mirror will only amplify whatever they are reflecting.
If they amplify your bed, it brings sex scandals and third
parties. Also it makes you tired in the morning because
according to Taoist Feng Shui when our wandering souls
starts to return to our body after our sleep, it will
face a hardtime differentiating between the mirror and
us.
Good luck to you.

Feng Shui Scholar

Question 9: How to remedy
poison arrows entering from window behind where we sit?
Dear FS Scholar,
In my office, I sit behind a big window as well as a window on my left hand side. The corner of the window meets a busy traffic crossing section. What should I do to avoid the bad luck?
Yukching Mak
Answer:
Dear Yukching,
You may hang the 8 Auspicious Object
Amulet at those windows to deflect away any possible harm
from the windows behind you.

Cindy

Dear Cindy,
Greetings.

Beautiful 6 Emperors' Coins
Money Frog on Bagua
|
There are many authentic symbols that
feng shui practitioners will not ignore in acquiring wealth
luck and riches. The most important one is the Money Frog.
There is one supreme version that has been designed recently
for the use of Period 8. It is called the "6 Emperors'
coins Money Frog on treasures in an 8 sided Bagua".
The 6 gold coins are tied in a lotus manner with 6 most
powerful emperors of the Ching Dynasty with a gold ribbon
which symbolizes supreme wealth luck. Meanwhile, the bagua
is the most auspicious shape in Period 8 (2004-2024).
The presence of bagua with trigrams in feng shui symbols
will therefore magnify the good fortune further. Place
a pair of them in the vicinity of your maindoor as if
they have just entered your home to signify arrival of
wealth.
The other most popular item that feng
shui enthusiasts would invite into their homes to usher
each new year is the Wealth Pot. There is one that has
been released recently for the year 2005 design is known
as the Overspilling Wealth Pot, that has gold bars, treasures,
gold ingots and jewellery filling to the brim of the pot
and spillover to signify abundance. Place this wealth
pot in the SE corner, your personal sheng
chi direction, water
star#8 location and in front of wealth deities.
 
Yellow Jasper "smiling"
gold ingots and Bronze Fuk Luk Sau
|
The other item that will create a smile
in your face is the shape of ancient chinese gold ingots.
If you study the shape of the gold ingots carefully, each
gold ingot actually depicts a smiley face. The ancient
feng shui masters of the ancient chinese dynasties had
created such a perfect shape for this trading medium to
increase wealth luck of people who own them. That is why
today, almost all feng shui masters would recommend this
powerful symbol to increase wealth luck. We recommend
the ones made of yellow jasper, as the yellow jasper crystal
had been identified as the wealth stone for Period 8,
which doubles the luck even more.
Besides acquiring wealth, remember that
it is also important to provide a balance in your luck
so that your other desired aspirations are in equilibrium.
The Fuk Luk Sau (Three Lucky Immortals or Star Gods) is
recommended in all households as they integrate Prosperity/Wealth/Excellent
Fortune, Power/Authority/Success and Longevity/Health.
 
Mystic Knot Bracelet and
Fortune Bats Biting Coin Amulet
|
Lastly, don't forget the "feng shui
magnifier or multiplier" which is the mystic knot
that will make your wealth grow for the next twenty years
in Period 8. It is a symbol where number "8"
or infinity multiplied in threefolds. Wear this in the
form of a bracelet
with the yellow jasper wealth stone and you will see
an increase in wealth coming your way. Also hang in your
car or on your handbag the lucky fortune bats biting coin
amulet. Whenever bats appear, they will signify big money
coming on your way.
Good luck to you.

Question 11: Regaining management support and career luck...
Hello FS,
Lately I have been having problems at work. I get the blame
even if it is not my mistake. My boss gets angry at me when
things don't go smoothly in the office. For example, he
said he told me something but actually he did not. When
I told him he did not tell me and I am not aware, he insisted
he told me. This has been happening quite often. And also,
other staff who do not follow instructions, my boss takes
it out on me. I cannot tolerate it any longer. So much so
that I do not care how my boss does my job evaluation. For
I have shown him proof that it is not my mistake but he
doesn't believe.I have worked with him for 9 years and only
the past 2 years, working with him has made me very unhappy
and depressed. I put up two mountain pictures behind me
where I sit. A dragon tortoise in my table drawer which
is in NE. I can't put it on the table as I do not want people
asking too many questions. I am facing my auspicious direction
with a wall behind me. Is my placing correct and what else
can I use to be beneficial. Thank you very much for any
advice.
Joyce
Answer:
Dear Joyce,
Greetings.
We are very sorry to hear about the office abuse. There could be many causes to it if it is feng shui related.
Red Robe Laughing Buddha
removes obstacles, fights, quarrelsome energy
and brings back happiness into your life
|
Facing your auspicious direction is very good, but please make sure you that auspicious direction does not coincide with the Grand Duke Jupiter's direction. The direction of Grand Duke is SW this year and last year, and going to West next year. Confronting the Grand Duke will mean losing out in everything in our life.
Please be watchful around you that no poison arrows are around you. Please make sure there are no pillars pointing direction at you or behind you. Also no beams directly above you and no lights directly above you.
 
Jade Cicada Amulet and
Jade Ru Yi Amulet
|
Next is you have to place your dragon
tortoise on your desk. Keeping in the drawer wont help,
in fact you are locking the poor dragon tortoise up and
it could give the adverse effect which means you will
have no luck and support from your management.
Rooster will effectively
counter office politics
|
Here are a few enhancers that we recommend to resolve your case:
1. Place a Red Robe Laughing Buddha on your desk to create
happiness and to dissolve away quarrelsome star #3 if
in case it falls in the sector of where you are sitting.
2. Get the hanging jade cicada to help you counter any
office politics and regain support from your boss.
3. Place the image/figurine of a rooster facing out of
your cubicle to counter any centipedes and poison from
your colleagues. We know that there is always a lot of
bad intention in the office.
4. And most importantly, hang a coin sword with the tip slanting down on any of the walls of your office area near you.
5. Next is to activate your relationship luck with the powerful classical formula, which is to activate your mountain star#8. Place 6 round crystal balls in your mountain star#8 location to ensure smooth relationship and network with everyone.
6 round crystal balls
|
6. Lastly, you ought to increase your
authority luck in order for you to influence your colleagues
and co-workers in getting work done. People who have such
luck normally do better than others because they get things
done through people very quickly. Carry a Jade
Ru Yi amulet with you all the time. And get a
Ru Yi and place it in the NW or the N corner of your
home so that it is not so obvious in your office. Its
strong metal energy will also enhance the base element
of NW and N. You will never get lesser support from people
you need help from.
