Dear Mee Yin,

> Hi,

> I have recently use some of the web pages provide by this web to survey my hse n also improve my work area. It is from here that i find feng shui very interesting.

> From my birth date ("Englush calender") 06 Feb 1972 @ 1225 midnight, i should live in a N type of hse. Incidently, i found out from the methods given on the net that my current hse is considered N. However, my bed room is in the SW sector which is consider the Death sector of the hse. My bed is position more towards the S but my study desk is in the Death sector. As i m doing parttime study, i do spent considerable amount of time here. i am facing more of W at the desk but my back face my bedroom door with my bed in the middle. i am concern. Is there anything i can do or put to reduce the effect of this bad sector on my study area and my time i spent in my room?

Frankly, a flaw with the Eight House Theory is that it is only a static representation. And more importantly, I personally feel that it would be useful as an `indicator' of:-

1. How suitable a house is to the breadwinner.
2. Locations where one spent time at. (However, there are other major considerations or priorities) than this theory. (The Eight House Theory). Usually, this involves a full audit of the house which not only includes the `consideration' of the Eight House Theory but also other concepts
such as the Shapes and Form and Flying Star audits of the house. These two concepts are, I feel more important than just the `Eight House Theory'.

Here, Shapes and Form Feng Shui, in my opinion takes priority over i.e. the placement of e.g. study table - considered under The Eight House Theory. The placement also has to take into consideration the location of the house. For example, if the external walls of your bedroom is at the compass direction (west) and if this is not `shaded'; then it would not be advisable to place the study table along this wall or a window facing the west. For a bedroom located at either South or North of the house, a study table can be placed
along i.e. the South or North wall so that it can `if possible' catch some of the rays of light during the day. But overall, this room can still be quite `dark'.

If one uses the Flying Star analysis and finds that e.g. the bedroom has some imbalances; then, priority should be given to neutralising this sector. This is where, Flying Star Feng Shui can `help'. Contrast this with the Eight House Theory where, one cannot really (realistically) do much even if the sector is say i.e. one's `death or disaster ' sector.

> My toilets, kitchen and service balcony are mostly in the problem areas like W n NW although i think one of the toilet is at the centre due to the funny shape of my hse. It is like a slice of cake. Shold the toilets' door be kept closed at all times?

Under the Eight House Theory, if one does not spent time at a sector, there should not be an issue. For a toilet that is at the centre-point of the house; this should be avoided (if possible). The worst senario is where the centre-point at the toilet bowl area. It would be fair advise to keep the toilet door closed most of the time.

> Lastly, for other members living in this N tyoe hse, i am confused which area of the hse is bad for them. Am i right to say that Eastern part of the hse are all the good sectors n so they shoud be there most of the time? Or i should also consider their personal direction deriived from their Gua Number?

As mentioned earlier, if one is applying the Eight House Theory, the key considerations are:-

1. It is an indication of `how suitable' the house is to the breadwinner(s).
2. Each family member's Eight House Chart should be looked at in relation to (especially) to locations where they spent the most time i.e. in particular the bedroom.
3. Try to use the Eight House Theory (East/West Group) persons chart but to take note that it does not have a means to redress the issue i.e. unless, one is suppose to spent less time at that sector.

In my opinion, do not get duly worried because the Eight House analysis does not seem favourable to you. Many of us, have studied in our homes or for some of us, have not much choice as we may have had stayed in a dormitory and thus even more restricted; yet, there are millions who have gone thru this experience and passed their exams successfully. This I personally feel is `food for thought'.

Wishing you all the best in your studies!
