  1. Please could you answer my questions I know you should not place a water feature to the right of front door
    Where do I place it out the back DOOR from looking out at garden
    Also what is a water cure I don’t own my house and the landlord is going to be painting the exterior front and back windows and doors

      1. Thank you for your reply I appreciate you taking your time to answer,i have a water feature but have not placed it or set it up as have been critically ill I just don’t want to make my life worse I feel like I have been given a second chance to live my life I had fish tank in old house in my front room which is to the right of front door had really bad time living there plus bathroom was in south west Corner my hubstand left me for younger woman then he got cancer and passed 9 weeks later I had him back home and I was battling cancer my self

        1. Hi Yvonne,

          I’m so sorry to hear you’ve been going through cancer and your other issues and hope that things get better for you very soon.

          I do not like to advise on using water features or fish tanks without having done a full consultation on a home as there are many factors to consider when using moving water for cures. I would suggest avoiding using these as they can sometimes do more harm than good when not properly placed.

          Sorry that I could not help with the placement, Yvonne.

          Kind regards,
          Daniel

  2. Hello
    What am i gonna do now?
    i use / recycle the glass i used in salt water cure again
    I throw the crystals , coins in the toilet bowl and flush it
    I clean the jar and use it again for salt water cure
    Pls help

    1. Hi Charito,

      I would recommend placing your existing salt water cures in a container and disposing of them in a bin outside your home and then setting brand new ones up.

      Kind regards,
      Daniel

  3. Hello Sir Michael,

    Thank you very much for Reply,,,Now i know that my property got a lucky in possition,, even the numbers assigned for identity.

    Thank you and more power
    Oscar

  4. Hello gud day,

    I ask my property is Block 5 lot 8, if you add the number is it 13 i know that 13 is no good for feng sui, what can i do?

    1. Hi Oscar,

      These are two seperate numbers (block number and lot number) so I would not worry about this.

      Kind regards,
      Daniel

    1. Hi Brisbane,

      the number 13 equals to 4 which is an inauspicious number in Feng Shui. I would display the number in a round of oval sign to weaken this.

      Kind regards,
      Daniel

  5. Hi cynthia,

    I would focus on the northeast from 7th September to 7th October as we have both the annual and monthly romance star located here for the month. You can read about this here: https://www.fengshuiweb.co.uk/advice/flyingstarsseptember2017.htm

    You should place cures such as mandarin ducks, Kwan Yin statue, rose quartz crystal or statues signifying love.

    I hope this helps and hope things improve with your partner, Cynthia.

    Kind regards,
    Daniel

  6. Hi Mia,

    If you have to use indoor water the best area is in the east as this activates the auspicious #8 star.

    Kind regards,
    Daniel

  7. I was told that there is no renovation for the roosters this year but we need to get it done. I was told that I need to place a pair of pi Yao in the west sector in the house for my protection and that I cannot help with the renovation but I can tell them what to do and how to do it and that I cannot sleep in the house until it is done. Is this true

    1. Hi Lharue,

      If you need to renovate part of your home this year, I would recommend hanging a 6 metal rod wind chime in the area where the work is being carried out.

      Kind regards,
      Daniel

    1. Hi Lharue,

      The almanac is based on the date and time of the location where you are in the world so if you are travelling and are a day ahead from your home country, you would go by the date of the country you are in.

      Kind regards,
      Daniel

  8. Fung shui almanac I live in Honolulu and I wanted to know if the date and time is where I live or travel

  9. Hello,

    Hope you all are doing well.
    I\’m writing because I would like to know if you offer on-line consultations again.
    Looking forward to your response.

    Thank you very much indeed,

    Best,

    Cristina

    1. Hi Cristina,

      I\’m afraid we are only offering on site consultations at the moment although I can add you to our mailing list for on-line consultations if we start doing them again if you like.

      Kind regards,
      Daniel

    1. Hi Carmela,

      We do not currently offer on-line consultations and are only doing onsite at the moment. If you like, I can add you to the mailing list for when we start on-line consultations again.

      Kind regards,
      Daniel
