Question 1: Heightening Education to Improve Career
Hello FS Scholar,
I am trying to find a way to better educate myself so I
can get a better job. What would help me in that area? Thank
you.
Diane
Answer:
Dear Diane,
We are so glad to hear someone who has the self initiative
to improve herself to achieve greater heights. Your intention
had already win you half the war. You are on the right
track.
First, focus on your personal "fu wei" direction according to your kua number. The Fu Wei direction of yours would be your personal direction that enhances your literary pursuits and education luck.
Try to move your bed so that your head
could point to your fu wei direction when you sleep. That
is the first thing feng shui masters always do when they
make bed placements for the kids of a premise. Also when
you are taking your meals, have your face pointing to
this fu wei direction all the time. Remember to get a
good
compass to determine that for you, do not make guessing
by depending on where the sun rises.

degrees

Next most important promise of feng shui
is its potential to create living spaces that encourage
and motivate you to achieve greatest heights in your education,
study skills and attitudes. Enhance three places of your
house.
1. One is your "fu wei" direction. Locate your study desk in this room if possible, or else have your face facing this direction all the time when you read a book.
2. The other is to enhance the universal literary corner NE.
3. And the other important one being the location where your literary and romance star#4 is. This year (2004) the star#4 is located in the SE. And next year (2005) is a literary year when this literary star moves to the center of every house and premise. It marks the spark of education as the most important event.
The best and most authentic enhancer
is the Wen
Chang Pagoda. They are built in either 7 or 9 tiers
is a powerful enhancer for education in specific.

The other authentic enhancer you must not miss is the Double Carps over the Dragon Gate or the Dragon Head Carp. They signify the carp's ambition to resist all the waves and jumping over the dragon gate in the yellow river to turn into dragons. Dragons are very auspicious in feng shui..

Next is the Crystal Globe. That had created many wonderful examination luck for many kids.

Last but not least is the Amethyst Gemtree with 9 Emperor Coins that would enhance you thinking power and ability.

|
It would be also an excellent idea to
carry along a wenchang pagoda with you all the time so
that you are always being surrounded with literary luck.
It could be in the form of jewellery such as the adventurine
bracelet or keychain
or amulets.
Good luck to you!

Question
2: How to spark up new business luck for an excellent start?
Dear FSBB,
Me & my business partner just opened wedding dress business.
So we're going to put a signboard to advertise our new business.
What is the most auspicious colour/paint to attract more
customer? What f/shui object that can attract more customer
and where do we put it?
Vicky
Answer:
Dear Vicky,
Greetings. Congratulations on your new business!
Some feng shui masters would refer you
to colors according to your personal element based on
your kua. But universally, red is preferred. That is why
our own store has red as the dominant color. The most
auspicious color would be red! You will know how much
good luck it would bring to you once you have your logos
and symbols or overall shop having red as the dominant
color.
First you may want to invest a little
on a good
compass to help you find your good directions and
not judged by luck. I want to stress this point because
most of our customers found out later that they got their
directions wrong for not using a compass.
Check out the facing direction of the
maindoor of your shop. Check against your kua
number and see if it is one of your four good directions.
If it is, very good. If it is not, dont worry. You can
place the Dragon
Tortoise on Bagua and let it face to your best direction
near the vicinity of your door. This will symbolically
adjust your maindoor to your good direction.

|
Next, the success of a business is determined
by your competitiveness against your peers in the same
field. That is the first thing you do in your feng shui.
Be prepared to protect against competition and bad intention
from people in the same field. The best is to have the
the 5-Dragon
Flag Kwan Kung face your main door out to win the
war for you. Alternatively you may also place him inside
the administration office of the boss. He is the most
sought after statue for all businesses for people who
practise feng shui.
5 Dragon Flags Kwan Kung
|
He holds behind his robe the 5 victory
Dragon Flags. The five flags represent the power from
all the 5 Elements in feng shui practice. He has a total
of 9 dragons surrounding him. Such a position and profile
of the Kwan Kung is most powerful for business pursuits,
politicians, protection against evil forces, wealth luck,
energizing family achievements, activating more helpful
people and countering ill effects of bad stars.
The most powerful and wonderful protector
which no self-preserving office should be without is this
Kwan Kung with 5 flags and 9 dragons, facing the main
entrance into your office or behind your chair. He scrutinizes
people with bad intention, troublesome and competitors
and put them to losing side. The Kwan Kung must hold his
knife in his right hand, and to safeguard in an extra
manner, he has another sheathed sword on his left being
prepared behind him. That ensures double the protection!
After you perform protective feng shui,
it is time to enhance. Place three money
frogs in your personal sheng
chi direction.
Another three in the universal wealth SE corner and three more in the position where water star#8 is. This is a powerful feng shui method and combination to bring you a lot of wealth!

& Money Frog(right)
|
At the same time, you must not forget
to also have the gold ingots and wealth pots such as the
pineapple
wealth pot and treasure
pot in those areas.
Place the image of the elegant Double
Carps reaching Prosperity Coins in the north to enhance
your new career luck and income.
 
Double Carps Reaching Prosperity
Coin (left) & Chien Lung Coins (right)
|
In your northwest, place the image of
the Chien
Lung Emperor or any powerful kings of a successful
kingdom so that you are never lack of support from the
important people and good networking. It is the network
that makes a business successful. Feng Shui people prefer
the Chien Lung because of his many key attributes. The
reign of Chien Lung was considered the most powerful and
prosperous period with international trade massively taking
place, China going through a peaceful period and the nation
enjoying tremendous wealth. Therefore, the image of Chien
Lung signifies getting solid financial luck and support
from Emperor Chien Lung. It is also during his reign that
the kingdom was undefeatable and army was the strongest.
Chien Lung Emperor bring prosperity, good career luck
and success in every area of life for mankind. Also, couples
would be blessed with both patriach and matriach luck,
outstanding achievement in life and great fortune and
prosperity with many filial offsprings. I guess this would
be the most ideal image in your shop. Most business people
would also scatter Chien Lung coins all over their homes
and imbed them into their floors and walls to create a
wealth bed of abundance. It works remarkably because Chien
Lung coins are the most auspicious coins for good
luck!

Empress
|
Next important area to look at is the
south corner for fame and popularity of your company's
name. You must activate this corner with image of a Tribute
Horse, the Fortune
Chi Lin Pair , 8
Auspicious Objects Chi Lin or other forms of feng
shui Victorious Horses.
 
Golden Tribute Horse (left)
& Golden 8 Magic Chi Lin(right)
|
The other thing you have to do to accumulate
business, wealth and abundance would be creating the treasure
wealth vase or the ever potent Fortune
Piyao vase. Fill it up with gemstone and chien lung
coins to attract fortune. Remember, the Pi Yao only swallows
and never let go. That is the wonderful thing about the
Pi Yao. Place him at your cash register facing the maindoor.

& Rich Wealth God(right)
|
Talking about the cash register, you
must have the Wealth God (either Rich
Wealth God or Military
Wealth God), Wealth
Cat, the Chinese
Abacus and also the Wealth
Laughing Buddha at your cash register.
 
Wealth Cat (left) and Chinese
Brass Abacus(right)
|
Then next is to have a wealth ship filled with goodies and gold ingots sailing into your shop. Let it enter and harbor on a table in the shop from the maindoor facing inside.
Hang the lucky doorbells and 3-coins in each of your door knobs.

Gold Plated Abacus Keychain(right)
|
And remember to always fill yourself with feng shui amulets and good luck items to. You are now a business making person, and always looking forward for money to pour in. For eg, get the abacus keychain so that you are never lack of money to calculate.
Good luck, good fortune and prosperity
to you.

Question 3: Problem with child developing bad habits…
Hi Feng Shui Scholar,
I would like advice to help my son,born 11-26-84(KUA-7).
He is currently attending his 1st year at the University,and
seems to be engaged in more social activities than studies.
Recently he is going out every other night and returns way
past midnight,he plays cards with his friends almost daily.I
am terrified that he is developing a bad habit. We live
in a Period 7 house facing West W2 type and his bedroom
is in the NW corner. I consulted a Feng Shui master and
was not very succesful since his advise was major construction,
and we had finished remodeling (before I knew any feng shui).
Thank you, for your kindness and understanding.
Thanks,
Ade
Answer:
Hello Ade,
Greetings.
First and foremost, I would like to comment
on the bad influences on Period 7 houses could feel when
we embark in Period 8. In Period 8, the star #7 which
used to be auspicious in Period 7 will start to become
hostile. Therefore houses which used to enjoy great feng
shui due to the Double 7 combinations or single Star#7
at the front of the houses will now start to turn bad
due to the change of behaviour of this star #7. These
houses will now be more susceptible to hostility, family
members turning bad, robbery, quarrel, violence, lawsuits,
legal issues and hardship in life. For those who do not
plan yet to renovate their houses into Period-8 houses,
they are recommended to cure this violent star#7 with
the rhinoceros,
the coin
sword and yin water (a bowl of clean stagnant water
with nothing else inside). Place the rhinoceros facing
towards the maindoor (inside-out) and hang the coinsword
with the tip slanting down and facing outwards in your
front area. Period 7 houses (built between 4 Feb 1984
- 3Feb 2004) that has violent star#7 in their center front
portion of the house are houses that faces S1, SW1, W1,
W2, W3, NW1, NW2, NW3, N2, N3, NE2, NE3, E1, E2, E3, SE1,
SE2 and SE3.
 
Rhinoceros (left) and Coinsword(right)
|
After curing star#7, focus on a few areas where you could
harness good feng shui to benefit your son:
1. Activate your northwest according
to bagua theory to invite nobleman luck into your son's
life. Friends are very important in shaping up a growing
child. Currently, he could have been influenced by bad
people. Although it is hard to control whom he is currently
befriending, but with a little help from feng shui, you
can invite good people into his life that would hopefully
change his thinking process and overall growth. First,
cure his current situation by placing a golden
brass rooster and a coinsword
in the NW. The rooster can eat up poisonous centipedes.
Meanwhile, the coinsword will remove all the bad network
in his life. Then, you activate the newcomers by hanging
a stronger 6-rods
all metal windchime & 9
Emperor coins and placing 6
smooth crystal balls in that area of your house. 6
smooth crystal balls will ensure a smooth encounter with
all endeavours in his life.

2. Next is to activate the NE for his education luck. Fortunately, this year, that location also coincides with the place where auspicious star#8 settles. Therefore NE is double auspicious. Place the ever potent crystal globe, double carps and six smooth crystal balls in NE corner of your family room, dining room and in his bedroom.

3. If you are a flying star enthusiast, focus on SE where literary star#4 resides in 2004. Place a water feature and some plants in this area of your house.
Good luck!

Question 4: Protect mum at her workplace…
Greetings,
I have an elderly mother who is in a nursing home i would like to purchse a symbol which i can put in her room to protect her from any bad intentions,can you please advise me which one would be the best.
Stephen Egan
Answer:
Dear Stephen,
We are so glad to answer the questions to a filial child. You will have many blessings. In feng shui, we believe the most important blessings come from our mum. If we love her, we will be blessed for great fortune.
There are a few things that would benefit your mum:
1. Hang the powerful 5
Fortune Bats Longevity Tassel in her bedroom. That
would bring her great fortune luck and blessings of good
health. This is important to her since she is working
in a nursery that is filled with yin energy. Also to ensure
her safety from being struck by bad energy at her work
place, let her wear the 9-Eyed
dZi bead for protection. These are powerful sacred protective
talisman mined from the Heavenly Himalayas which have
more than a thousand years track record.
9 Eyed Dzi Bracelet
|
2. Next is to hang the bagua
horoscope coin at the door knob inside her bedroom
for protection against bad luck and bad people. In fact
it is recommended that all family members should have
this powerful evil protection amulet hung at the doors
of all bedrooms for the whole family to ensure a smooth
ride all the time.

3. To assure she would be competitive
in her work and endeavours, place the plum
blossom coin under her pillow where she sleeps. That
amulet would help her overcome obstacles.

4. And if she wants to dissolve unhappiness, ask her to use our 5 bats fortune magic mirror.

5. For longevity and good health, the
deity that could be placed in a bedroom is the "God
and Goddess of Longevity".

Question 5: Trying to get pregnant. How do I get feng shui blessings to have a child?
Dear FS Scholar,
My husband and I we trying to get pregnant . Please tell
me what to do i have a shower in west of my house and a
bathrooms in the middle of the house.
Christiane
Answer:
Dear Christiane,
Water in the west would reduce descendant luck. Plus the
bathrooms in center could really hurt your aspiration
because the bad chi will spread towards all the eight
directions of the whole house. Please hang a 6-rods
windchime in each of the bathroom to suppress the
bad luck and stagnate the bad chi. Please keep the doors
of those baths closed all the time.
Precious 100 Children
|
Now try to activate two directions that are deem extremely important. One is the west wall of your living room, dining room and bedroom. The other is the nien yen direction of your husband. The best enhancer is to be activated would be the picture of Precious Hundred Children in your bedroom and the the living room to bring in the pure yang chi in into your home. This would be most auspicious to bring you heaven's gift for a child. Another thing you could do is to place our special edition Fertility Pigs with Piglets to increase fertility in both your bedroom and living room. Last but not least is to place 6-smooth crystal balls in the west wall of your living room and let a lamp or shades shine on it. Lights (fire element) build more earth energy in the crystals which in turn boost up metal energy for the west, thus bringing descendants luck also.

Question 6: Using Feng Shui to find a house!
Dear FS Scholar,
I am in the process of looking for a house to buy and would
like to know what I can do to help me find on? Thank you.
Diane
Answer:
Dear Diane,
Finding a house would be directly link to one of the 8 aspirations, getting the luck of helpful and supportive people. You need someone helpful and reliable to get you a neat house and a good bargain. You would need to invite nobleman into your life in order to achieve that, and it could be done by activating your Northwest direction of your house or living room. The best is to hang either a 6-rods or 8-rods windchime in the NW. Other than that you should also consider 6 round crystal balls and the 9-Emperors Coins.
Six Crystal Balls (left)
and 9-Emperor Coins (right)

I guess sometimes with only one pair
of eyes, you may overlook things and make wrong decisions.
So when you go to the site for viewing, please make sure
you wear the 9
Eyed Dzi to help you have a bigger view of the intangibles,
so that you do not miss out anything bad you could find
in the house you intend to buy. It would definitely prevent
you from making wrong decisions. Our customers have so
many good comments about these magical Dzi Beads.

Good Luck!

Question 7: Confused between home's flying star chart and annual afflictions!
Dear FS Scholar,
My question is my house is period 7. I want to know is it
important to remedy the afflictions according to my home's
"Permanent
flying Star afflictions" - remedying water stars # 2
and #5 and mountain stars #2 and #5 and activating star#8or
is it more important to remedy the "2004
Annual Afflictions"- 5 yellow star in the center of
every home, Illness star#2 in every southwest corner of
home and the 3 killings? I bought product from you for period
8 from the "Essentials
for Period 8". But now I'm confused about which is more
important for my period 7 house? Taking care of the 2004
afflictions or the Permanent flying stars. I don't want
to place things wrong. Also the Permanent Afflications are
according to the direction your house faces and the 2004
Lunar Year of Monkey afflictions go by 9 palaces is this
according to the bagua direction of entryway or the direction
your house faces? I am confused about this.
Pamela Hurles
Answer:
Dear Pamela,
In time dimension feng shui, both aspects have to be considered
in your flying stars. One is your own house's permanent
flying stars, which you would cure by placing the remedies
permanently in those locations until you renovate your
house into another new period. The other aspect is the
annual flying stars (annual afflictions), which we have
to cure as well, even if our permanent flying stars map
is perfect or we are already enjoying good feng shui.
The annual afflictions cannot be taken lightly as they
could strike as hard. Generally the annual afflictions
move from one corner to another of every house from year
to year to strike any being in those rooms or areas.
In short, both aspects have to be considered.
The only difference is your annual cures will move around
in your house every year, but the permanent cures will
stay there as long as you have not renovated your house.
5 Element Pagoda
|
I m glad you got your 5-Element
Pagoda. That would fix the deadly 5-Yellow in the
center of your house as the priority cure this year, irrespective
of which house you stay in. If you do not remedy 5-Yellow
in the center this year, its detrimental effects would
spread to all the eight cardinal and subcardinal directions
causing all your aspirations to be damaged, and cause
the ineffectiveness of any enhancer in the 8 directions.
Warmest Regards,
Feng Shui Scholar
