Q&A - The Sun Property Plus
9th September 2005

Q.		MY Gua is No 4, and my wife's is No 2. We are staying in a condominium, with the main door facing South (S) and balcony facing North (N). Our bedhead is facing East (E), and my wife always suffers from headaches and body ache. Is it due to the positioning of our bed? Please advise on the best position for our bed.
A.		Always bear in mind the auspicious directions based on your Life Gua. For a Xun Gua (No 4), the auspicious directions are N, S, E and Southeast (SE). For a Kun Gua (No 2), the auspicious directions are Northeast (NE), West (W), Northwest and Southwest. Your door facing S and bedhead facing E are suitable for you, but not for your wife. This could be the cause of your wife's health problems. Consider having her sleep with her head towards W. I know this is strange, but I have recommended this before to some of my clients and they find it effective.
Q.		I am considering pursuing a new business venture, which involves risk. What would be the best feng shui for my office - which direction to face and how should I decorate it - and sleeping quarters to ensure financial harmony? My date of birth is April 13 and I am a male.
A.		Based on your birth date, you are affiliated with the Li Gua. The auspicicous directions are N, S, E and SE. For your office, I would recommend you to position your desk to face the E direction. For your bedroom, you can have your bed in either E or SE, with your head facing either direction.
Q.		My husband and I have bought a 2-storey new house facing NE. We are concerned about having good feng shui for the house before moving in. Both of us are born in 1967. My husband's Gua is No 6 while mine is No 9. Our son's Gua is No 7 and daughter's is No 8. From inside the house looking out, the sliding door is on the left and our side entrance is on the right. Is it true that according to feng shui, the main entrance should be in a straight line? The staircase is on the right while the kitchen is on the left. Which is the best location to place the prayer table? Looking at our ground floor plan, we would like to extend the kitchen and bedroom at the back by another 8ft. We also want to convert a section at the back for cooking purposes. So, which is the best direction for the stove to face?
A.		The supporting structures for a NE house will depend on the actual direction of your house down to the exact compass bearing degree. In feng shui, there is a saying that the difference between good fortune and disaster is only a line (1º). Any house can be suitable for occupation, depending on how far you are willing to go to rectify the inherent faults. The best, of course, would be to seek feng shui advice before purchasing, so as to be aware of the extent of renovation required. Assuming that your house is facing dead on NE, you would want a mountain in the front and large body of natural water at the back. From your description, your side entrance would be SE. This would not be good for your husband and the children, so they should use the main sliding door. An altar should face out the front door, assuming the front door is facing the correct direction. There is no fixed law for doors, stairs and kitchens. It is certainly not a custom to have kitchens in the front of the house, but if it adheres to feng shui principles, there is nothing wrong with it. Whether the house is suitable for your family or not would depend on the external formations and how much you are willing to renovate. For a proper recommendation, I will need to go to the site to have a look at the land and take measurements.
