THE DOOR LEADING TO THE APARTMENT IS FACING EAST.

Dear Aunt Agga,

I live in an apartment that faces west. The door leading to the apartment is facing east. Please advise if the house is auspicious for my husband. He is born in 1957 and me in 1961. Our bedroom is facing northwest.

Best wishes, Irene.

Dear Irene,

When deciphering the location and orientation of the home it is best to follow the best directions of the patriarch, therefore it should be in the best directions of your husband. By calculating his Kua number, we can discover these directions. His Kua number is 7. Therefore his four best directions are Northwest, Southwest, Northeast and West. It will be good if the main door of the apartment faces one of these directions.

However I see that the door faces East. This is a bad direction for your husband. It is his total loss direction. If there is a second door into the apartment, which faces one of his good directions then it is suggested that he uses that door. The bedroom is placed in the Northwest and this is an excellent direction for your husband for it is his success direction.

Also try to ensure that he sleeps with his head pointed in this direction as well.

Love, Aunt Agga


THERE IS AN OVERHEAD BEAM IN MY BEDROOM DIRECTLY UNDER MY LEG.

Hi Aunt Agga,

There is an overhead beam in my bedroom directly under my leg. Is this position okay? I could not move the position of my bed because otherwise I will be either facing the window with my leg or head.

Andrew

Dear Andrew,

By right, you should try not to have the beam running across you at all. However, if it is impossible to move your bed from underneath it, there are some remedies to overcome it. Firstly you may try to camouflage it with false ceilings. If you cannot camouflage it because of the ceiling being too low, use cloth to create a softer effect of the chi emanating from the ceiling. This is not a perfect cure but I have seen it work quite effectively.

Love, Aunt Agga


WHICH TABLE IS THE MOST AUSPICIOUS FOR THE SOUTHWEST CORNER?

Dear Aunt Agga,

My kwa number is 6 and love area is southwest. Which table is most auspicious for this area: a wooden table or a metal table with a glass surface? Thanks.

Kika K.

Dear Kika,

The Southwest corner is dominated by the element of Earth. Therefore any item that represents this element is auspicious. In the productive cycle, Earth produces Metal, thus, Metal has the capability to weaken Earth. Wood on the other hand, destroys Earth in the destructive cycle. Therefore between the two, it is best to go for the Metal table with the glass surface. Try to strengthen the Earth element by placing a crystal here.

Love, Aunt Agga


OVERCOMING INCOMPATIBILITY

Dear Aunt Agga,

Thank you for your fast response to my email. I would appreciate it if you could reply to my private email rather than the office email as I think this is a rather P&C matter. I have actually sent queries twice to Aunt Agga to ask her about my marriage under the Aunt Agga Column, but unfortunately there was no reply from her. My question is:

I have married for 10 years now. My husband was born in the year of the Rooster (13.3.57), and I am a Rabbit (9.1.64). We have been struggling with our marriage for some time and it's getting serious as we do not see eye to eye for every single minor thing, but we still bear the bitterness, though we're very unhappy. It is affecting my son too.

Therefore, I would appreciate it very much if Aunt Agga could guide me and advise me how to salvage our marriage and improve our relationship as I still think that having a family is always better than being a single parent!

Please, I need your advice desperately as I am very confused and miserable!

Thank you in advance for your kind attention, and looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards, Desperate.

Dear Desperate,

You are right: it's better to try to keep your family together and salvage your marriage, especially since you've gone through so much together. Don't fret, Aunt Agga may be able to help you.

First of all, you and your husband must attempt to understand and accommodate one another, as the Rabbit and Rooster are deemed the natural enemies of the zodiac. Being placed directly opposite each other in the Chinese Zodiac Wheel means that arrows of antagonism are created between them.

But having said that, let me assure you that after calculating your birthdates based on the Eight Mansions formula, I've found that your kua number (5) and your husband's (7) are compatible. This is good news, as the compatibility of your kua numbers offsets the incompatibility of your astrological signs somewhat. This means your marriage CAN be made to work! But how?

According to feng shui masters, birth-chart based incompatibility between two people can be appeased by having symbols of marriage harmony in the couple's bedroom. One of the best symbols to use is a pair of mandarin ducks or geese, as these birds are emblems of marital harmony. Try to have these symbols carved onto beds and bedroom furniture. You may also have the double happiness sign carved onto beds, drawn as calligraphy or worn as a wedding ring, to ensure long -lasting harmony between you and your husband.

Also, it would be very good if you and your husband could sleep with your heads pointed to your husband's nien yen direction, Northeast, to create harmony between the two of you.Good Luck!

Love, Aunt Agga


HOW TO USE LUCKY COINS?

Dear Aunt Agga,

What's the proper number of coins to hang behind the door? Is it 3, 8, 9 or 10?

Regards, David.

Dear David,

You should hang three Chinese coins tied together with red/gold string on the inside door handles of your main door to ensure that there is always money luck in your home. Or you can hang nine. This tip would be even more effective if you hang a small bell on the outside door handles of your main door. The tinkling of the bell is believed to entice more good fortune luck to come into the home.

Love, Aunt Agga


I WANT TO BE FAMOUS!

Dear Aunt Agga,

I am into acting, and I have all the talent to become a good actress, but everyone wants to take advantage of me! Please give me some tips so that I can carry on working with these people without compromising myself. I want to become famous & wealthy. Thanks.

Regards, Kajol.

Dear Kajol,

I think the first thing you should do is to prepare yourself mentally for the challenges you will face if and when you go into show business. It's a dog eat dog world in this field, so you'd best brace yourself.

As being an actor requires you to be well known and easily recognized, you should energize the southern corner or wall of your home, which is the corner that represents fame, recognition and reputation. Now, how is this done?

Well, as the ruling element of the south is fire, you should place something that symbolizes this element in the south: bright lights, sun motifs, red-coloured objects, etc. It would be most helpful if a fireplace was situated in this section, but of course this depends on whether or not you live in a country with a winter season. You may also use objects that symbolize the wood element, as wood feeds fire: plants, pinecones, banzai trees, wooden objects, etc. Avoid the water element, as water douses fire.

Love, Aunt Agga
