Wu lou or Calabash
Here’s a picture of Wu lou that I use to counter the sickness star #2 in the Flying Star Feng Shui. As a matter of fact, I have several wu lous in my house… I put one in the North-East sector (home of star #2 in the current Period 8 – from February 2004 to February 2024) of our house; another one in the North-West sector for 2008 where annual star #2 resides, and which I will move to the West sector where the star #2 will be located next February; I have a third one which I move monthly to the different sector according to the Monthly Flying Star, for example it is in the South-East sector for this month. Finally, I also place one each on our children’s and our night tables to ensure good health.
This is no superstition and can be explained by Yi Jing (The Book of Changes). Master Joseph Yu has written an article on this, just click on the following link if you’re interested:

Monthly star 5 & Annual Star 2
On June 6, I woke up with a sore throat. It took me a couple of days to realize that the Monthly star 5 is meeting annual star 2 in the NW sector this solar month starting June 5 at 4:12pm to end on July 7 at 2:35am. This NW direction happens to be our bedroom. So if your bedroom, living room, dining room, study, any or most of your activities is found in this NW area, please try to keep it as calm as possible. Remove red color or triangular shape objects as they would stimulate the earth energies of these two stars, thus aggravating the situation. I also suggest placing a metal wu lou here. You can also place five golden balls in a golden basket to pacify star 5.
May you have good health 
Are you aware of sharp edges pointing at you?
If you take some time to look around you, your house, or just anywhere, you are sure to notice that there are sharp edges pointing in every direction. What’s important is that we don’t want them to be pointing directly at us, at our bed, at our desk, or at our main door.
If you were invited to a friend’s house for dinner, and you were seated at a place where a sharp edge is pointing at you; don’t panic! This is just temporary and will not do you any harm. However, if the edge of a square pillar in your home is pointing at your angle where you sit daily, then you should be more concerned. Other examples can be like the corner of your dining table, the edge of your colleague’s table, a neighbor’s roof, etc., etc.
Here are some tips to avoid and smoothen these sharp pointing edges or arrows:
- use table cloth to cover up the corners;
- round up the sharp edges;
- place a green plant or a solid object;
- hang a beautiful painting;
- cover it with a reflective material like mirrors, provided the surrounding is beautiful;
- wrap it with soft materials with beautiful colors;
- if it’s a pillar, you could replaster it to make it a round column;
- this list is not exhaustive.
You can be very creative here as long as it shields off these sharp pointing edges/arrows. If you have other creative ideas, I would be glad to hear from you.
What about the toilets or WCs?
As a matter of fact, there is nothing wrong with the toilets or WCs as far as Feng Shui is concerned. Why you would asked… yet there are so many Feng Shui practitioners who say that toilets bring sha qi (bad energy)?
You see, in the ancient times, toilets are built outside of a Chinese home, so toilets are never included in a Feng Shui audit LOL ! Nowadays, the toilets are built in the house or in a living quarter for our comfort. So what should we do? Keep the toilet lid down; close the door; keep it spic and span, then we don’t have to worry about our toilets. These are not Feng Shui cures, but simple common sense and for aesthetic reasons.
Beware of red/triangular objects (fire elements)
As you already know, this year, we have Annual 2 star in the northwest, and annual 5 star in the south. Since these two stars are Earth element, we don’t want more fire or any red/triangular objects to fuel the earth thus aggravating the situation. There is nothing you can do to the South sector as it belongs to the fire element, just make sure you don’t add more fire or red/triangular objects to this sector. If these two sectors happened to be your bedrooms, remember to remove any big, bulky red/triangular objects to ensure minimum health problems.
Heart Piercing Sha
The above picture shows a pole which cuts through the garage door of this house. If this pole is located directly in front of the main door, it is most unfortunate as it is called Heart Piercing Sha. Sha is translated the bad or negative energy, it is so strong that will hurt all the occupants in the house.
The advice is to move out quickly if you’re already in it, or not to buy or live in such houses.

Feng Shui Tips for Shops
Whether you work from home, or in an office, or own a shop, the same Feng Shui tips such as an unobstructed view, clutter free, no visible sharp pointing objects, facing your auspicious direction, and many others I mentioned earlier are to be observed.
For a shop or a boutique, there are two additional factors to take into consideration. First and foremost, make sure that your shop entrance is beautiful and inviting, clear of any objects and articles. This will create good energy flow and the customers will be attracted to walk inside your shop. The next important issue is where to locate your cash register or your cashier. Preferably, they should be placed diagonally opposite the shop entrance, you will also have a good view of customers entering. Never place your cash register directly opposite your shop entrance as this has the tendency of money flowing out as soon as it comes in.
May your shop or boutique be filled with plenty of buying customers! Good luck!

What if you don’t work from home?
Hi there,
Home Office Feng Shui Tip
If you are working from home, it is important that you do not sit facing a wall, that the door to your office is not behind you. You should ensure that you have an unobstructed view, free of clutter on your desk, your back is well supported by a wall or a solid filing cupboard, and face your most auspicious direction according to your personal gua number.
To know your gua number and your auspicious directions, check out gua tables in my products page here.
To your success!

Lucky stars
Dear Readers,
The following stars are most timely in Period 8, if you are familiar with the flying stars of your house or apartment, activate them and you will enjoy wealth and success. If you’re not sure of your flying stars chart, read my posting on 2008 Annual Star chart in the tool bar “what you must know” above. Spend as much time as you can in the east and southeast sectors of your house, annual stars 8 and 9 will occupy these two direction in 2008.
Star # 1, our distant prosperity star, is water in nature. It is quiet and stable but active and restless at heart. It brings career success, academic success, good relationship, and growth.
