CAN I PLACE MY VASE NEAR THE FRONT DOOR?
My wife and I bought two 10-inch vases with butterfly motif with the intention to display it in the cabinet which is in front our main door. We live in an apartment and the main door leads direct to the balcony; hence the cabinet is to ‘slow down’ the chi flowing from the main door and not let it escape to the balcony. Are there any taboos on putting vases facing the front door?
Q A
Actually it is not a good idea to place vases that are meant to collect wealth Chi facing the main door. Vases for containing flowers
are not the same as wealth vases. The vase you mentioned sounds like a wealth vase. Do not place it facing large windows or doorways. It should be kept deep inside the home. Specially consecrated wealth vases that contain images of the Wealth deity, jewels and precious things should never be shown to outsiders. They should be kept hidden away inside a cabinet facing away from doors and windows.
MY BED AND
I’m a Water Boar and according to Lillian’s Fortune and Feng Shui books they say the NW and NE directions are both not auspicious in 2014 and recommends I face SW. This is very tricky for me as moving my bed or my furniture will cause me to sit facing the windows and sleep with my head under the glass window. How do I resolve this?
Q A
In 2014 the NW has the Five Yellow and the NE has the #7 star. Both are very dangerous stars and that is why they are not auspicious.
Since you cannot face SW, are you able to try West? West is a good direction under the West Group directions. If you really cannot change your facing directions, then there is no other choice I’m afraid. Remedy these two locations in your home with the cures to reduce the bad luck it brings.
WHERE TO HANG WEDDING PHOTOS, PORTRAITS &
GRADUATION PICS
hang my wedding photos, family portrait and graduation photos in my house. Do I move these photos when a sector is afflicted during the month or year?
Q A
FURNITURE FACING BAD DIRECTIONS
Thank you my dear, I love this writing this column too! For wedding and family photos the best location is in the Southwest or Centre,
as these two sectors represent family happiness and harmony. Graduation pictures can be hung also in these locations or in the South (recognition) or Northeast (knowledge). Single Portraits can be hung according to the Pakua formula depending on the family members: Father (Northwest), Mother (Southwest), Sons (Northeast) and Daughters (Southeast). You don’t have to move the photos every month due to the flying star afflictions, however do place the cures in these sectors when the afflictions arrive.
WHAT ANIMAL SIGN SHOULD MY SECOND CHILD BE?
I am planning to have another child and would like to know what sign should the new baby should be? I am a Wood Rat and my husband is a Wood Tiger. We have a daughter born a Fire Dog. Thanks for your help!
Q A
Congratulations on your wish for a second child. A Horse child is highly compatible with both your husband and your daughter as the HORSE is the ally of both the Tiger and the Dog. However the Horse will clash with you as you are a Rat (they are enemies) unless you have a Horse in the hour pillar of your Paht Chee chart. Alternatively you can wait for the Monkey year – the Monkey will get on very well with you (it is your ally) but bear in mind it is the enemy of the Tiger (sigh!) and will clash with your husband. A Rooster child will work with everyone in the household although they have special affinity with the Dog and the Rat. Sheep children are not compatible with any of the signs in your household so opt for the Horse, Monkey or the Rooster.
