Hoodies coat is a bad design
One very popular design of cloth for youngsters in USA is hook cover dress. While this design may look, simple, cool and warm, hook cover dress is not an auspicious design. In ancient Chinese or even now, this hook cover dress is only worn during the mourning session of the funeral events. All the family members and offspring are required to put this one to show the last respect to the decease and earn some condolence from others.
There is no such story in USA. However, this hook cover design is highly associated with someone with bad luck such as losing a job and staying at home or trying to keep warm after getting sick. Wear on your own risk.
Cold drink is the true reason for many people’s poor health condition
Cold soda, frozen yogurt, ice coffee, freezing juice and wine on ice are widely available and accepted by American because they feel refreshing and cool. However, do you know they are the true reasons of getting a cold, flu, hearing problem, kidney & urine issue, stomachache, intestine and digestion problem? In fact, not everyone can take in a cold drink especially in the early morning. If you keep having cold drink every day, don’t be regret of having serious arthritis pain at your older age. Therefore, don’t order cold drink any more if you have one of the followings:
You were born in the autumn or winter season.
You have too much water and metal on your birthday chart.
Your lucky element is fire.
While you are sleeping in your bed, your hands and legs are always freaking cold.
You cannot swim or even afraid of swimming.
The Feng Shui of Shoe – no more Crocs
Shoe design can be viewed as a shelf or treasure box. Money can fly away from the open shelf but it will be locked in the treasure box. For financial well-beings, you may pick the treasure design of shoe. For example, slipper shows off or displays a large portion of your foot. It is more like a shelf. On the other hands, a lady can trap and hid almost the entire foot and leg in a winter leather boost. It is more like a closet or treasure box, the taller the better. Often times, when people are staying at home not producing anything or spending big money on a vacation, they wear slippers or slanders. Thus, Crocs is a poor man’s shoe. They are often associated with retired people working on his garden. Retired people makes nothing. In short, to gain the best Feng Shui of keeping wealth or earing top money, you may want to put away your slipper, slander or crocs.
Why Drug addicts can be saved by meditation?
Drug is often the tool that dark spirit uses to get control of a human beings. When a guy is heavily on drug, he is virtually losing himself: His soul is getting out of his body and he is acting weird without a soul. When the soul is completely out of his body, he is a dead man.
Besides Drug, there are many forms of addictions: sex, alcohol, gambling etc. People who heavily addicted to these bad habits are trying to get some thrills (usually lasts for a couple seconds) in the beginning. They know they are really stupid to involve in drugs. This is certainly not a wise thing to do but it takes a strong mind to not be stupid. One smart way to achieve wisdom is mediation. Wisdom comes from internal while information comes from external. Drug addict (or stupidity) can be saved by meditation (wisdom).
Teddy Bear is not good for every kid
Teddy Bear belongs to the Dog group, which is hot earth. It is very natural for a dog lover to fall in love with Teddy bear. How to find out if Teddy Bear is your best friend or your biggest enemy? Here is the rules of thumb:
Generally speaking, tiger, horse and dog are best friends, forming the powerful fire trio. If you are a big fan of teddy bear, the chance is that you also like cat, horse and dog.
Generally speaking, dragon is dog’s biggest enemy. While teddy bear is more like a toy for western culture, dragon is more like a symbol of eastern culture. There is some obvious clash or difference between these two. Therefore, if you love teddy bear, you may not like dragon.
More precisely speaking, if you were born in the cold winter months, you will have more fun and luck with teddy bear.
If your daughter was born in the summer seasons, don’t fill up her bed with teddy bear. She hates it. Terry bear may well be the source of fever for her.

Six Month Rule
The simplest but most effective way of finding a long lasting true love is the rule of Six Month. It simply means that if the birth month of your boyfriend or girlfriend is six month earlier or six month later than yours, it is a perfect match for you. For example, if you were born in the summer month of June, you will be very smart to find a girl friend who was born in the winter month of December. It is the most compatible relationship you can ever find. If you are not the lucky one whose has a husband whose birth month is only a couple months apart from yours (such as June and August), you find yourself to argue with him so easily. All Feng Shui is saying is that common interest may lead you to a good feeling about him in the beginning. However, long lasting relationship is really about how you can help each other with the missing elements. Apply this rule of six month can save you tons of nightmare.
If you want to give birth to a baby boy (or girl), here are the Feng Shui ways to do it.
East direction represents boy and southeast direction represents girl. If you want to have a boy, you may want to make love in the east corner (east room) of the house. For girl, it is southeast.
Never make love in the northeast corner as it is space of the ghost.
A woman with big bottom has bigger chance to have a baby.
If your Bazi birthday is too weak (for example: a sun fire person born in the winter month or a flower person born in the autumn month), it is very difficult for you to have a baby.
Producing cycle and intercourse time: if you were born in the metal day, the baby you may produce is water. Your luck of having a baby will dramatically increase if you are having sex in the middle night. To be more specific, if you were born in the gold bracelet day and you want to have a baby boy (river person), you want to make love at the “Pig Time” or 9pm-11pm. You may want to consult with a Feng Shui Master for a perfect shot.
Will you get more luck if you stay with your mother?
Your mother produces you. If you are a metal person, your mother is earth. Generally speaking, it is better to stay away from your mother when you start working. It is because you will be forced to learn and grow faster by doing more things independently. However, you may want to hang out with your mother more often or even live with your mother if any of the following applies.
Your Bazi reading is very weak and you are actually very skinny. For example, if you were born on the dew water day and in the summer month, you needs your mother to provide you with more water.
If you are the type of person who gets sick easily, you need your mom to take care of you.
If you are too popular with men, you need your mother to fend them out. On the contrary, if you are single and never have a boyfriend in your life, the best strategy is to stay away from your mom.
Should you Wear Cap/Hat often?
Not everyone should wear a cap. Make sure the color, animal or pattern matches your lucky elements. Wearing cap often only if you find yourself under one of these situation:
1. You were born in the Fall or cold Winter.
2. Wood is your lucky element and metal is your enemy. UK is in the west direction of China and Europe, it is country full of metal. That is why so many people in UK love to wear hat (wood) to balance it out. Hanging hats at the back of the door also help enhancing the wood element.
3. You became bald and you feel bad about it. Hair is wood. When your hair is loosing, your wood element is getting weak. If wood is your lucky element, wearing cap or hat will boost up the wood element.
Your Neighbors have Huge Impact on You
If you find yourself in the door-facing-door situation, you are actually in the fighting position with your neighbor. Either you win or you lose. Therefore, never live in a home with a front door facing a super powerful neighbor whose door is bigger and the house is granter than yours, because you are doomed to lose.
If the neighbor in the back of your home is super wealthy and powerful like Bill Gates, you are definitely living in a good Feng Shui house. You will get tons of support and backup from top people.
Make sure the building or house on the left (dragon) of your home is bigger and taller than the building or the house on the right (tiger) of your home.
In the front of your home, it is superb if you can find a store with your lucky element. For example, if fire is your lucky element, there is a Korean BBQ restaurant nearby. If metal is your lucky element, there is a powerful bank nearby, especially in the northwest direction if you are male owner of the house.
There are enough open space in front of your home to let the auspicious to accumulate and get into your home.
If you are living in an apartment which looks like a crown, you will have great lucky if metal is your lucky element. If not, move out.

Wedding picture Can Save a Divorce
If you want to keep a long lasting good relationship with your spouse and no get into a divorce, a wedding picture is a must.
You should hang it in both the northwest corner and southwest corner of your master bedroom. It may looks old fashion but it has strong psychological effect.
It has to be a wedding picture between you and your spouse, not a family picture or random picture from vacation.
Never have a mirror to reflect this wedding picture. Otherwise, there will be another man and woman showing up in the marriage relationship.
Hanging the picture on the head of bed is better than the end of the bed. Hanging at the end of the bed will create some money argument between the couple.
Hanging on the left hand side of the bad is better than the right hand side of the bed.
Pursue a Home with Active Oxygen
The simplest way to become lucky is to have a clear mind. The best way to obtain clear mind is to have enough active oxygen. While you are reading this article, take a deep breath. If you can inhale refreshing air, you are already living in a great Feng Shui house. However, the sad thing is that most of people don’t even know that they are taking refreshing active oxygen or not.
According to a survey, 46% of the people don’t even know that they have congestion nasal. They are used to the breathing with half of the nostrils. During the past two decades, flu and cold have been way too common that people are living with flu and cold bacterial very long term without knowing it. They get tired easily than before but cannot explain the reason. In this world, 80% of the people are living in sub-healthy condition without knowing it.
There are so many ways to pollute your living environment that prevent you from obtaining the active oxygen:
Too much trash or useless objects laying around in your home.
The water source surrounding you is not clear.
When you open the window, the wind is too big and the dust is easily accumulate inside your home.
The top Feng Shui home should be filled with circulating active oxygen. The air should be refreshing and rejuvenating, offering an unbelievable scent. You should feel warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Plants can offer this benefits but not any plant can take away the Carbon Dioxide and offer active oxygen. Only the plants with big leaves can do. Therefore, take care of your allergy, open up the southern window, and grow more big leaf plants. You will have top Feng Shui life.
Fan Helps to Expand Your Business
Fan is not just used for a cool breeze in the hot summer. It has much deeper roots in Chinese culture and Feng Shui. Here is a list of common application of fan.
Pictures and words can be written on a fan to deliver messages and feelings to the loved one.
A fan is open up in such an expanding and enlarging fashion that it symbolizes an increasing benefits of wealth, power and blessings.
If the entrance of a house is small and when stepping inside, the space becomes bigger and bigger, it is a great Feng Shui house.
Fan in Chinese sounds like another Chinese word “Kindness”. With the blessing of kindness, all the trouble can be removed.
People can use fans to blow away all the illness, disaster and bad things.
People can also use it to fan fire which can burn down all the diseases and sadness.
Bookshelf Vs Bookcase
Imagine you are living in a home without a door. What happen? Anyone can come in easily to steal your belongings. This same concept applies to bookshelf as well. Anything from the bookshelf can be taken away easily. Therefore, the best solution is to install a door on the shelf, lock it up and turn it into a bookcase.
In fact, bookcase can be viewed as closet or treasure boxes, the bigger the better. The extreme situation is to turn a room into a storage with treasures, especially in the corner of the house directly associates with yourself as the owner of the house. Then you will enjoy a huge money luck. To be further effective, you should store things that match with your lucky element. For example, if earth is your lucky element, you may want to store beautiful vases or ceramic jars into your bookcase or store room
Clutter hurts
It is never a good idea to pile up your home with clutter, not to mention good Feng Shui. Clutter and miscellaneous things at home will dramatically reduce your money luck, your health and overall luck. Feng Shui care a lot about fresh air and spacy room. Only large space and fresh air will have positive Feng Shui effect. Clutter will never help. There are three types of clutter impacted the home the most:
The broken electronic devices: they will emit harmful microwaves and magnetic fields which leads to cancer or serious illness. They have to be gone.
The rotten and smelling food: it will grow bacteria, mold and fungus to harm our health directly.
Useless things: You may use it once and probably never use it anymore. Throw them away or put it in the storage to hide them.
Clutter is your enemy. Never allow enemy to stay in your home to hurt your in many aspects of your life.
Start the Day with the Best Morning Walk
If you think you are too poor to buy a good Feng Shui house, here is a great solution for you. Try to do morning walk or exercise in the top Feng Shui location. For example, in SF Bay Area, the best Feng Shui spots are Atherton, Menlo Park, Hillside and Hillsborough. It is a great idea to take a morning walk in the best Feng Shui place to jump start your day with top oxygen. To make the walk more effective, you may want to look into these top Feng Shui advises:
Never do exercise in the #5 yellow misfortune spot (northeast in 2016) and #2 black illness spot (center in 2016)
East is always a great spot as the sun will rise and shine on this direction. East direction is also associated the Medicine Buddha. Fresh air and less traffic offers you great energy to start the day.
Match with your lucky element for this walk as well. If wood is your lucky element, for example, take a walk at 5am-7am, touch as much great trees as possible during the walk. If fire is your lucky element, try to expose yourself to the sun light as much as possible.
Should you Ask your Child to learn Piano
Nowadays, most children have increasing exposure to the fire and wood elements. Education is wood and computer game (TV, mobile APP, movies) is fire. To make a better balance, should you ask your child to learn Piano (metal)? You children will enjoy playing piano if the all of the following applies:
Your child loves to eat ice cream (metal).
Your child loves to visit Disney World (water)
Your child never got injury by riding on a bicycle (metal) the first few times.
You child hates to play toy car (fire), Lego (fire) and doll (wood).
Piano is an extremely metal object. If metal is the lucky element for your family and your child, it is a good idea to ask him to learn Piano. The music around the home has a purifying effect on bad Qi and germs. However, there is one thing to bear in mind. If your child stops playing the piano, it will turn from the metal element to wood element. Piano requires regular tune-up to make the right sounds. An off tune piano is just like a broken machine. It will emit the harmful magnetic field. This will create the clutter problem, especially if wood is not your family’s lucky element.
Where should you Live to Have the Best Feng Shui?
The answer is very simple. The area where you can find a lots of wealthy people live is the best Feng Shui place.
For San Francisco Bay Area, the super riches love to live in Atherton, Menlo Park, Woodside & Hillsborough. I never find a super wealthy person lives in Modesto or Stockton.
If you cannot afford to buy a house in these area, try to rent a room in these area. If still not possible, try to take a morning or night walk in this area. Spending as much time from these area as possible is the best strategy.
Never live too far away from work. If it takes over half an hour to work, it is too far. Over an hour everyday has been wasted on commute. It simply means less energy for career success
Which Floor should you Live to Have the Best Feng Shui?
This is a very tough question to answer. However, here are a few key points:
According to the 8th period flying star theory, the ground floor is the auspicious #8 fortune star. The second floor is the #9 purple joyful star. The third floor is the #1 future money star. Therefore the top 3 floors to pick should be close to the ground. There is less Feng Shui if you live up to the air. The rest is #4 floor for sickness, #5 for misfortune, etc.
According to BaZi theory, if your lucky element is wood, 1st and 2nd floor is best for you. If your lucky element is fire, 3rd and 4th floor is the best. If your lucky element is metal, 7th and 8th floor is the best. If water is your lucky element, 9th and 10th floor is the best.
Based on many theories, it is hard to pick the real best floor level. However, single family home is definitely better than multi-level apartment. It is because for single family house, only one family can enjoy the entire best Qi, no need to share and spread it thin with many units of families.
For a single family house, the best level is the second from the top. For example, if your house has three levels, the best level to live or have the bedroom is the second floor. The living room should be located in the first level to absorb all the best Qi to increasing wealth.
What Important Housing Features You Should Pay Great Attention to?
The house was built on the slop. The money Qi will run straight down without getting into the house.
There is a nearby road/bridge/highway curving out from your house, creating at “cutting knife” effect.
There is a neighbor house with his front door directly facing your front door.
A missing corner house.
A house getting narrower and narrower after entering from the front door.
A house with triangle floor plan or triangle root top. Flattening out the ceiling will resolve this problem.
Never live underneath the stairs. It will lead to brain degeneration.
Never let your remodeling workers stay over-night in your home.
To bring up the top spirit of your home, you should hold a house warming party during the moving in date, and invite a lots of kids and dogs into the house. If the kids are crying and the dogs are staying away from the house, it is not going to be a good Feng Shui house.
Stove and its hazard
Kitchen represents female owner of the house and kitchen belongs to the fire element. If the lucky element of the female owner is fire, it is good to cook more at home. Obviously, open kitchen is good for the family whose lucky element is fire. Otherwise, close the kitchen door and open up the kitchen window while cooking. The stove is the key part of the kitchen. Thus the situation of the stove reflect the situation of the house wife.
There should be only one stove in a house. If there is two stove or two kitchen, the husband is likely to have a lover or second wife somewhere.
The upper part of the stove represents the female owner’s upper body. The lower part of the stove represents her lower body. If there is vase stored in the shelf space right above the stove, the female owner is likely to experience head or neck pain. If there is smelling liquid or can of remaining paint stored in the lower space of the stove, some feminine disease may develop.
Never let a mirror or aluminum foil on the wall to reflect the stove and make it double. Otherwise, husband will have love affair.
If there is no stove in the house, a man will have tough time to find a wife.
Washing Machine and your Digestion Problem
Contrary to common belief, washing machine is not a water element. It belongs to fire and earth elements. With increasing drying function of a washing machine, it becomes a completely Feng Shui fire hazard at home. It has a huge negative impact to our stomach, intestine and heart. If it is misplaced in the wrong part of the home, our family members may ultimately suffer stomach cancer, colon cancer or heart attack. Here are the points for caution:
The often we use washing machine, the lavish our dining will become. Thus the more digestion problem will happen due to the over rich diet every day.
Avoid placing the washing machine in the father corner, mother corner and family member’s corner for the direct hit.
Avoid running the washing machine while family members are at home. Turn it on right before getting out of the home.
Refrigerator is a Metal Storage
Kitchen is a fire place and refrigerator belongs to metal element. The reason we commonly place a fridge in kitchen is to balance the kitchen’s strong fire element because metal can produce water. Here are the points of learning.
If your luck element is metal, fridge is your best friend. Do the followings:
Try to buy more than one fridge: one in kitchen, one in living room and one in office.
White and silver are metal colors. That is why most of the fridge are painted with white or silver. Stick with this traditional colors.
Soda, beer, milk, ice cream and ice are all metal elements. They are perfect to put in the fridges.
West is metal. Western countries such as German, UK, Netherland and Belgium are metal. That is why many top brands of beer comes from these countries. It is great to have beers from these countries.
Place a bronze snake on top of the fridge to “open up” the metal storage of the fridge.
If your lucky element is not metal, do the followings:
Just buy one fridge at home. The small the better.
Try to buy red or green color.
Hide the fridge inside a wood closet or storage so that it is not visible.
Put a wood cat on top of the fridge to defend its metal force.
Bathroom and its hidden secrets
Bathroom belongs to water element. If water is your lucky element, it is good to have the bathroom located in your corner of the house. If not, you need to do the following list of Feng Shui remedies to reduce the negative impact of the bathroom.
Install a shower rather than a bath tub.
Never take a milk bath. Only lavender or lemon bath is acceptable.
Decorate the bathroom with plants to absorb the extra water.
Turn on the vacuum vent more often to dry out the bathroom.
Paint the bathroom in green or brown color, not white or gold color.
Install and use the heat/warm light when taking a shower.
No clutter or any unnecessary things inside the bathroom.
Turn on the temperature and make the water hot when showing.
Never use a glass door for the bathroom
No open bathroom in the master bedroom.
Bathroom should not be located right next to the kitchen. The worst design is that you have to go thru the kitchen first to get into the bathroom. Water clashing fire leads to big health issues.
No more than one door for the bathroom. This will lead to unstable relationship and even surgery accident.
No stone to place in bathroom because it will cost kidney stone or urine stone.
Window represents your Eyes
Window represents eyes. If the window is dirty, our eyes will be blur. Therefore, we need to keep our window clean. Eye belongs to fire element. Eye is also connected to our lever and heart. If the window is broken, we may suffer cataract, blindness, lever failure and heart disease. Therefore, whenever the windows are broken, we have to fix it immediately.
The location of windows are very important. If it locates in a certain family member, that family member would love to stay at home and look into the “window”. In the modern world, window means Microsoft Window. For example, if the window locates in the east direction which represents the elder son of the family, he tends to stay at home more often and work on his computer.
Window is a powerful tool to stimulate a certain element. For example, east is the wood direction. If the window is located in the east space of the home and wood is the lucky element of your elder son, opening up this window will stimulate and enhance the wood power for your son. However, if wood is not his lucky element, having a window in the east would be harmful to him.
Window in the east and south part of the house is much better than window in the west part because the light of sun rise is much auspicious than the light of sun set.
Curtain or blind is also a big consideration for window at home. If fire is your lucky element, you should use a thinner and lighter curtain to let more light to come in to the home. Otherwise, a thick curtain is better. For blind, horizon style is better than vertical style because the forming of superior magnetic field.
Front Door and its Many Secrets
In Feng Shui, the front door has a major impact for the luck of every family member because it is the only place everyone has to use every day. Let’s exam some of the key significance of the front door.
Every year, a different flying star will land on the front door of the house. If it is an auspicious flying star such as #8 fortunate star, #1 future money star or #9 people relationship star, all family members will get benefits of this lucky star.
Based on the location/direction of the front door, a certain family member will have a tendency to “get out of the door” and hate to stay at home. For example, if the front door is located in the southwest corner of the home (the mother’s corner), mother often stays away from the house and does a lot of shopping.
For convenience, many people place a lot shoes near the front door. It is not a good Feng Shui practice because the odder of the shoes will pollute the auspicious Qi entering though the front door. It is advisable to put the shoes in other place of the house or at least hide them in a shoe closet.
Balcony enhances our Wealth Capacity
It is always a great Feng Shui to have a big balcony at home as the extension of a living room. The bigger the balcony, the more capacity to accumulate big wealth. Here is some points of interests for balcony.
When an auspicious star such as #8, #1, #6 and #9 star lands on the balcony, we should open up the balcony door to stimulate these auspicious star to bring in more luck. However, if a misfortunate star such as #2, #5, #3 and #7 flies into this space, we should close the balcony door more often.
Balcony should be viewed as an extension of the living room for bigger money capacity. It is not a good idea to ruin its good Feng Shui by placing some junks such as mob, used shoes or old magazines.
For security reason or protection of young kids, many people have installed iron bars or steel locks in the balcony. It is also not good for Feng Shui because it will block the auspicious Qi and “block out” the metal power of the family member whose space is associated with the balcony.
If wood is the lucky element of the family member whose space is associated with the balcony, it is great to have plants in the balcony to generate pleasant view and active oxygen.
Airplane Cushion to Fire You Up
It becomes a both a fashion and comfort to use an airplane cushion /pillow while flying or taking a nap in the airport. While you may not know about it. Airplane cushion belongs to the fire element. Here is the take away.
If you are in the good luck timing and your lucky element is fire, you tendency to do the right thing for yourself and buy this cushion to enhance your fire element
The reason this cushion is in "C" shape because C is the letter of fire element.
Why many people need more fire element in the airplane and airport? It is because both the airplane and the airport are metal element (made of metal and paint in white - the metal color). The metal power is so strong in this environment that the lucky people are lucky enough to apply the fire cushion. Fire melts down and reduce the power of metal -- a survival instinct.
Home Office and Feng Shui
1. If it is a home office where you try to build up your prospective business, do stock
trading or simply enhance your fortune, then you should pick the room in your “Money
God” direction to be your home office. For example, if you were born in Spring season,
west is your Money God direction. Pick the room located in the west of your home. For
people who was born in Summer season, the North room is the best choice. Autumn
people should pick the east room. South room is ideal for Winter people.
2. The direction of your desk in your home office is also very critical. The best direction
to face is either your Money God direction as mentioned in point #1 or the most
auspicious direction for the year: Southwest for 2016 and East for 2017.
3. The alignment or furniture settings in your home office is equally important if not
more. When you are sitting behind your desk, make sure you have the left dragon (a big
cabinet, pictures or window), right small tiger (small stand or a low plant), backing with a
tortoise (solid wall) and facing a phoenix (open space in the front).
4. The chair you are siting is better to have a solid back and full arm rest so that you can
claim the power of authority in your work.
Upstairs and Downstairs Feng Shui
Generally speaking, in a single-family house, the Feng Shui in the ground floor is the
best because it can absorb more positive Qi faster and easier. In case of apartment, the
second floor could be better because if you are living in the second floor (assuming only
two floors), nobody will step on you while you are at home. Sometimes something that
you don’t know can hurt you. Here are some things to pay attention in Feng Shui for
upstairs and downstairs situation.
1. Never sleep in a bedroom with a bathroom upstairs right above you. Simply imagine
how bad it will sound if someone pee and poo on top of you every day.
2. Never sleep in a bedroom with a kitchen downstairs right below you. Simply imagine
how terrible if you are “cooked” by the stove every day.
3. If your neighbor upstairs or downstairs place a huge electronic machine right above
or below you, the magnetic field is so strong that you may suffer headache or brain
tumor. Therefore, watching out for what your neighbors do with their home is very
important for your families’ well-beings and Feng Shui.
Garage and Feng Shui
Have you ever thought about this garage question: What is the relationship between
starting up a high-tech company in a garage and later on turning it into very successful
companies such Apple, Google, Amazon and HP?
Here is the Feng Shui reason and relationship:
1. Car belongs to the fire element because we have to turn on the engineer (fire up) or
get fully charged on the battery (fire element) first to get it going. Garage, which is
used for storing cars, is a “fire storage”.
2. High-tech sectors such as computer, internet, software, etc. are all belongs to the
fire element.
3. The baby fire (high tech start-up company) needs the supports, nurture and backup
by the big fire (garage) to survive or to get going.
4. If fire is your lucky element like Steve Jobs, you have enhancing luck to start a high-
tech company in a garage.
5. If fire is your lucky element and your garage is located in the northwest corner of
your home, you have the top luck living in your home. For the lady of the house, the
top fire luck comes from the garage located in the southwest corner.
A Big Tree Next to your Home. Good or Bad?
1. Location: If it grows in front of the main door, it is very bad Feng Shui because this tree will block
your future. If it grows on the left hand side of your home, it is called “Dragon tree”. You can receive a
lot of help form powerful people. However, if it grows on the right hand side of your home and there is
no another tree with equal size on the left hand side of your home, this tree is called “Tiger tree”. You
will get trouble of having a tiger tree. The female owner of the house will become a dominant person if
there is a tiger tree. The man of the house will get many trouble with women.
2. Proximity: the tree is better not to be too close to the windows and doors, as it will block the
good Qi from getting in. Family members will suffer from eye problem if the tree branches extending
into the house.
3. Lucky Element: if wood is the lucky element for the owner or the family members, it is good to
have a big tree near the house. However, it depends on the direction it grows. For example, if it grows in
the east direction and if wood is the son’s bad luck element, it is not a good Feng Shui house for the son.
The severity is also depended largely by the flying star landing on that direction of the tree.
4. Dark spirit: Dark spirit loves to hide under the big tree. In many cases, people who suffer foot
pain or injury consistently may live in the houses with a big tree trapped with dark spirit. The best
solution is to move out.
5. If you cannot move out, a couple remedies available to defend the negative power of the tree.
a. Use red paint to draw 9 circle on the trouble tree.
b. Use a metal chain to tie up the tree.
Atherton is the top Feng Shui City in San Mateo County CA
Atherton continues to be ranked #1 in 2015 as America’s most expensive zip code by Forbes Magazine.
What is the Feng Shui story behind this amazing feat? Let’s exam.
a. Purity: Atherton is a strictly residential area. No industrial and business pollution. The air
is pure.
b. Water: Water is money. The Bay water on the northeast and the Bear Gulch Reservoir
on the southwest of Atherton mark the head and toe water element. The entire body is
filled with wealth. During the 8 th period (2004-2023), families with houses facing the
southwest water source will enjoy the greatest prosperity. Many households in
Atherton are the direct beneficiary of this alignment.
c. Green mountain: Mountain is health. The greener the better. The green mountains on
the southwest direction provide healthy support for Atherton’s residents. With large
acres of lot size, Atherton’s residents enjoy more “green” per household.
d. Curved coastal line: Wealth can only be captured by curved coastal line. Straight line
cannot do the trick. That is why East Bay can never beat the Peninsula on prosperity.
Atherton locates right in the middle of the most curved coastal line of the Bay Area.
Facebook headquarter is right on this perfect spot and enjoys the full benefits of this
trapped Qi.
e. Atherton was incorporated on September 23, 1923. If we view this date as the birthday
of Atherton and apply the theory of BaZi (four pillars of destiny reading), we find out
that both fire and earth are the lucky element for Atherton.
f. Bingo. High tech field (electronic, software, internet, etc.) belongs to the fire element.
Real estate belongs to the earth element. It is no wonder that Atherton can become a
wealthy town, largely thanks to the contribution of these two fields.
g. To become the top Feng Shui place, there must be something extraordinary and
outstanding next to Atherton. Bingo. The answer is Stanford University. With this
internationally well acclaimed educational power house as the neighbor, Atherton
continues to score high in the Feng Shui’s exam.
Ceiling and Feng Shui
1. Ceiling has to be flat. If it is a triangle roof top like a church or rising up on one side only, it is not a good Feng Shui. It is because mental stress, headache and even brain tumor may develop by the impact of the out-of-balance ceiling over time.
2. No beam should be seen from the ceiling, especially in the kitchen, bedroom or living room where you spend a good amount of time every day. Many people are aware of this problem but unfortunately beam in the house and apartment is still very common in the US.
3. The light hidden in the ceiling is better to produce warm yellow light rather than white light.
4. It is not a good Feng Shui to hang a “Fan and lights” one piece under the ceiling.
5. Never hang a Taichi, mirror or weird lightings from the ceiling.
6. Ceiling cannot be painted in black. Otherwise, depression and bad luck may be the result.
