How long does it take to work?

If you have done everything correctly effects usually take 3 months to show progress.

How can one apply Feng Shui incorrectly?

Well most Feng Shui advisors place an importance on direction. Though that is the case, there are other things to note like placements of doors and window. For example, you may be sitting and facing a good direction, but having a door behind you leads to paranoia and mistrustful behavior, thus limiting your progress and support. This is the same with windows. If you face your ideal direction but have a window behind you, though you may have tapped into the flow of great ideas, you will feel unsupported and may be ignored thus never getting the chance to bring your ideas into fruition.

There are so many schools of Feng Shui, which one is correct?

In China there are many schools of Feng Shui Some have more complex formulas than others. For instance, the Black Hat school of Feng Shui pays no attention to direction rather if uses the same grid for every home. The Eight Mansions formula, however, does. They believe each person will have a unique experience in the home. Flying Star Feng Shui changes the luck for each sector of the house depending on time. Form School focuses on the placement of our natural environment. Finally there is the Taoist school of Feng Shui, which deals a bit with ancient practices and symbolism. The trick is to incorporate all these readings and pick what works from experience. This web site is dedicated to educating the individual with tips that have worked for others with less superstition and more of the mathematical and scientific approach. But definitely the eight mansion formula has been praised by many.

There are indeed so many schools, what books do you recommend and watch out for?

The truth is out there. You just have to read through a lot of incomplete information to get to it. Books that offer color theory and decor rules are helpful but should not be considered Feng Shui. The Black Hat School has been widely criticized because it caters to the "McFengShui" crowd. All it means is that it is a shortcut to the real Feng Shui. Shortcuts can prove to disappoint you in the long run. But just because an author admits to having flawed judgment does not mean you have to discredit ALL of their writing. Try it before you buy it. True Feng Shui deals with land formation, compasses, elements, time and space. It does not cater to what the public feels is convenient to hear. It caters to what needs to be heard. If you'd like to take your Feng Shui quest to the next level here's are a few advance book recommendations.

If I'm a west person living in an east home how do I improve my luck?

There are a lot of things to consider. Find your front door and back door. If both belong to an east group person's home, this will foretell struggle and stress in your life. Try to face and sleep towards the one of your west group directions. If only the front door belongs to the east group you can use your back door. But before you jump to conclusions there are sections of the house depending on the Flying Star formula that will bring luck to help you get out of there. This will be discussed in later on our site.

Again compatibility is base on the door direction you leave. You both could leave in separate doors. At extremes you both could chose to spend most of your time in your personal lucky rooms or at the very least you can chose the least negative direction or sector for the other person to sleep in.

How can I use Feng Shui to win in gambling?

If your home sits in a positive direction even bad hand streaks can be easily overcome. I recommend homes that sit in your luck direction and main doors that face of any of your positive direction. With good flying stars in your compatible sectors you will most likely win regardless what direction you face while playing. Note: We do not endorse gambling as a source of income, but with moderation and self control it can be quite fun to test out your luck and skills.

What are the facing directions of a home?

Facing direction of your home is the area where the view is the largest. This is primarily used for flying star calculations. Main doors however, may or may not be the facing direction. The main door governs the chi coming in and the compatibility of that home to you.
