Hello Nancy,
Ideally, he must get rid of the old furniture. Once free from old furniture, he will be free from the hold his first wife has over him. It will be good for your husband too. After getting rid of the old furniture, you may go for home Feng Shui consultation.
Q. Dear Feng Shui Master,
I came across your website and read the testimonials of your clients and I would like to try and seek advice from you. Yesterday a Feng Shui Master came to our office. He looked at me and told me that I look too stressed and tired and no matter how well or how long I sleep or rest, it won't improve my energy level because my bed is in the wrong position. But my room is only about 6 square meters and I'm sharing it with a friend. If I move our beds, the side of our beds would be facing the door. Aside from that, I'd also like to enhance my marriage and relationship because I feel lonely and worried. Thanks, and I look forward to your reply.
Truly yours,
Genevieve

A. Within the limitations, you would do well if you change the position of the bed as per Feng Shui. The sides of the bed facing the main door is alright. If you wish to enhance your Marriage and Relationship corner you can acquire a painting of Moon Energy from our web site, though the best thing would be to consult professionally for the Single corner Feng Shui for Marriage & Love.
Q. Dear Mr.Mohandeep,
Sir, My D.O.B. is 12.01.1962. I live on the 4th floor and my building is G+5. While entering my flat I face west. The main door of my flat is situated in front of the door of the lift. I am not in a position to shift the main door of my flat under any circumstances. I would like to know the negative effects of this.
P. K. Kanodia,
Kolkata.
A. While the door direction is okay for you, it may not be very auspicious for the other members of the family. Worse, you have a lift directly opposite your main door. The lift may emit the poison arrows and negative energies towards your house. The effects of these negative energies could vary from the effect on health, finances and marital relationship as well as the comfort level of the inmates of the house.
Q. There is one thing that is bothering me. I am moving to a new house soon and some renovation is required. I have read up some of the renovation rules and they say that I can't renovate the west part of my house in 2007 as the sector is occupied by the ill stars. But the west side is the exact location that I need to renovate. Please help....

A. It is true. This is only one aspect of Flying Star Feng Shui. If you want to calm your nerves and have a tension free interior decoration, you should seek professional consultation.
Q: Dear Mr Mohan Deep, I am building a bungalow. At which stage should I bring a Feng Shui Master in picture? Should it be now when the architect is in the process of preparing the plan or should it be after the bungalow is completed but before starting the interior decoration?
Sam Gaunt
Los Vegas
A: The best stage is now when the bungalow is at a planning stage. The Feng Shui Master can take a look at the floor plan and point out the flaws in the location of bedrooms, toilets, kitchen etc, and can also suggest the right place to have sinks, wash basins and other utilities.
Even the colors of the walls in various rooms can be decided before hand.
Architects are not aware of Feng Shui and create blunders. I’d know as I have spent years in Academy of Architecture, before turning to writing and later to Feng Shui. In fact, I have come across qualified architects who do not know the right height of a writing table and chair!
It is better if the Feng Shui Master you consult at planning stage is acquainted with architecture.
If you are buying an apartment, you can always consult a Feng Shui Master by showing him the floor plans of the proposed / under construction building. Feng Shui comes in the picture again when you want to begin interior decoration.
Q: I am over-weight, rather fat. I tried getting into Sunil Shetty’s Biggest Loser but couldn’t get in. My problem is food. When I am happy I want to eat. When I am tense I want to eat. I eat when I am unhappy. I eat when I travel. I eat when I view TV serials. Both my parents are overweight. Can Feng Shui help me change?
Jamshed M.
Q: Mohanji, I run a restaurant. The food is good and the customers have no complaints. Yet, they don’t linger on the table for long. Naturally, the business is down. I leased this shop in December 2006. It has been 6 months. My lease ends in November. I am very much worried. Can Feng Shui be of any use?
George Manual
A: I am answering both the questions together. Mr Mehta wants to control his intake and Jimmy wants customers to linger on food for long, to eat more.
Though there is an amount of free will involved in your situation and one can also blame the genes and conditioning by mothers who set the pattern and even quantity of eating for their children, Feng Shui can bring a balance in your life.
Feng Shui can certainly boost the dieter’s efforts. Since our surroundings influence how we act, interact and react, where we eat influences our eating patterns. It can slow you down or can speed up the process.
To balance the five elements of Feng Shui - earth, metal, water, wood and fire, as well as yin (alkaline) foods with yang (acid) foods is the secret of increasing the level of chi, or positive energy. Often, if you are depressed you overeat to `lift yourself`. Positive energy around you makes you feel good. If you feel good you don’t overeat.
The water element represented by blue also slows you down when you eat.
Fire speeds you up. Red arouses. Red motivates. It can motivate the lazy to start exercising. I recommend red walls in the exercise room.
Red also arouses hunger. This is one of the main Feng Shui reasons for the Chinese restaurants to have a lot of red in their ambiance. Even the carts selling Chinese food are colored red.
There is music that will make diners push away the plate and leave the dining table, and there is music that will slow you down, relax, make conversation and linger on the dining table. A good host or restaurant always encourages more conversation.
Right Feng Shui can help the efforts of a dieting person. It can also contribute to the success of an eating place.
Q: My name is Shilpi Shah; date of birth is 5th Jan 1976 born in Madras. I have been facing financial crisis from a long time. I wanted to work and earn properly so that i can handle my children education myself but seeing my position I feel I will not be able to do anything I am quite depressed because of this. My husband is suffering from epilepsy problem. I am full of tension from the day I got married and had never got a chance to live a happy marriage. I m very upset. I want a secured love relationship that last forever and a full fledged career that I earn the best for my children education. I am planning to start brokering in share market from home and I even give tuitions. But I just have one student. Please help me. Thank you.
Shilpi Shah
vanshilpi@yahoo.co.in
A: Hello Shilpi, your problems are related to money as well as relationship. If you need Feng Shui help, one will need to take a look at your house or house plan to find out the Feng Shui flaws which can be as varied as the door being in the wrong direction or the toilet being in incorrect position. However, let me assure you, there will not be any need for making civil changes or demolitions. Feng Shui cures are symbolic and yet, effective.
You are welcome to consult me professionally.
Q: I am having lot of problems since last 30 years. My father died leaving under huge debt with business incurring losses. With some luck and hard work I paid off the debt. However whenever there is big advantage or opportunity, somehow it keeps on being postponed or keeps on lingering for years and years. My business is facing a threat of being wiped out by big malls coming up in retail business. This worries me a lot as my sons are dependent on it
I also have problems in my relationships personal as well as social.
All these keep me very anxious tense and just not at peace. Please help me.
A: There can be several Feng Shui reasons for your problems. The reasons may even seem unrelated since there might be a connection between the flow of the water in the tap or the hinges of your door!
What applies to Shilpi above, applies to you too.
Q: I have a tattoo of a fallen angel on my lower back towards the right. Attached is a picture of the tattoo. Could this have any negative effects on me? If so what should I do about it?
D.O.B.-20th Sept 1987
Thank you
Rhea
rhea_cj@hotmail.com
A: Hello Rhea, you are on a slippery ground here. But so what, we are all humans with failings. There is no need to do anything except be ready to get up if you have a fall. Fall and rise, both are experiences that enrich one’s life. If you want more from life, Feng Shui promises it.
Q: My daughter was a child actress during the 90s. She was paid good money and developed airs about her. We didn’t need the money badly but, honestly, because I was glamour-struck, I had pushed her into this line. I had an ambition to be an actress but couldn’t get a break in my days. The difficulty now is that my daughter, who has grown up into a young lady, has not been successful in films. She has done small roles for TV but even filmmakers who once signed her as a child star are avoiding her. This is causing a lot of frustration in her. I know of another actress, in a similar situation, who consulted you and has been quite successful after Feng Shui changes. She is very successful in the South (Name withheld by the Feng Shui Master). Besides, I too have the desire to become an actress. Please give me some Feng Shui advice.
Will the same advice work for both of us? Please don’t disclose my name.
SS (Name withheld on request)
A: Feng Shui advice relates to the surroundings, to your house and will naturally apply to both of you. The lady that you mentioned in your question had indeed consulted me professionally. I do not disclose the names of people who consult me without their permission so I have deleted her name from your question.
Pushing children into films is not a very wise thing. While they might be successful as a child actor or actress, it can be tough when they grow up and this causes a lot of frustration. There are very few who can cope up with this downfall. However, there is no need to lose hope. A Feng Shui Master can visit your premises and suggest the ideal corrections and solutions for resurrecting your daughter’s film career. Feng Shui cures can also be applicable to you. There are several cases when actors begin late.
Q: I had a very serious relationship with a guy. We were planning to get married in another year or so. He wanted to be established in his business before tying the knot. Last month he went to Delhi on a brief business trip. He brought a gift for me: Two pairs of high-end, well-crafted scissors. It was an ideal gift for me as I am a fashion designer.
In less than a week there was a misunderstanding and we had a quarrel. The tension still continues. Do you think it has to do with the gift he brought for me? I am also not getting as many orders as I used to get. What is the remedy?
Nishi
Mumbai
A: It is believed that you should never give / accept a gift of knives or scissors. A gift of anything that is sharp and pointed or hostile carries negative energies and causes bad Feng Shui for the recipient of the gift. You can nullify the effect by paying for it. It can even be a token payment. This symbolizes that you have purchased the gift. I suggest that you make payment to your boy friend as consequences of such a gift can sometime be very tragic.
Q:I am a regular reader of your column. I would be grateful if you would respond to one of my queries. I want to purchase a painting of a mermaid sitting by the seashore looking at some ships. Will this painting be lucky for my house? Please do reply. Thanking you
Elaine Remount
Hong Kong
A: Like the Lonely Pillow Direction, a mermaid sitting by herself looking at some ships can become the Feng Shui cause of loneliness for a woman. The symbolism is clear. In fact, I remember a restaurant called Donna Paola which didn’t do well for the same Feng Shui reasons. Donna Paola is a sad love legend of a Goan girl who died waiting for her man who never came. A statue still remains on the site where she used to come and wait for her man and the area is called Donna Paola (two feet) after her. The customers never came to this restaurant. It closed down.
Franchisee in a Mall seeks Feng Shui help
Q: We have got the franchise of a famous chain of cafes in a mall in the Western suburbs. Though the brand is very famous, our business is not picking up. We consulted a Vaastu guy but it was not possible to implement the changes he suggested as he insisted on demolitions. We have to retain the same colour combination and same décor as per our agreement. Can Feng Shui be useful in this situation? We are worried, as a lot of money has already gone into the business.
(Name withheld on request)
Feng Shui is different from Vaastu and there will not be any need for major civil changes. Over the last two years, I have encountered a similar situation from those running shops in various malls. The business may be fashion, clothes, shoes or food bazaar, the problems are similar and Feng Shui has shown very good results. Feng Shui solutions, however, are different for different trades and also take into account your date of birth. While trades like catering and cafes are ruled by Earth element, the business of furniture is ruled by Wood element. These elements should be in harmony with your birth element. You can email me more details about your business problems (i.e. partners problem / staff shortage / more take home business but few visiting your café etc.) the floor plan / diagram of your shop and the date of birth of all the partners.
Problem of couple working in call centers
Q: We got married four years ago and as we wanted to avoid the usual problems of a joint family, we have lived separately right from the beginning. Yet, there is a lot of disharmony in my home. We both work in call centers and have different shifts. On some days, while on the way home, my husband visits his parents and siblings. On those days and for a couple of days after these visits, he seems hostile and very negative to me. This often results in quarrels between us. When I accompany him to my in-laws house I can sense a lot of negative energy and silent hostility behind the formality. What is the Feng Shui remedy for this? I want to strengthen my marriage.
We sleep with our heads to the South and our door direction too is the same. Is the South unlucky in Feng Shui?
Veronica
In Feng Shui, no direction is considered lucky or unlucky for all. It is very important that you and your husband sleep with your heads (preferably) in your Marriage direction and if that is not possible, in one of the four lucky directions. This will be the beginning of a better relationship between you. But in a complex situation like yours you need a full Feng Shui consultation to ensure that you remain in the Power position and successfully deal with your in-laws.

I Want to meet You
Q: I found this site interesting...I want to meet u once or talk to u on phone..is possible
Neha Chhabra
nehachhabra1982@gmail.com
Q: I have seen many sites related to Feng Shui and can certainly say that yours is the most interesting. I have interacted with some Feng Shui experts in Mumbai but have noticed that they are ignorant. One Feng Shui Master has a road directly aimed towards his front door but he has done nothing to repel the poison arrow, and another lady Feng Shui expert has a board hanging on her covered balcony which would be an obstacle for the flow of positive energy. She also has a lot of clutter in her balcony just behind this board. You have been a journalist in the past. Why don’t you expose people like them?
To come to the point, I find your profile fascinating. I want to meet you. If that is not possible, I want to at least to talk to you on phone or chat with you on the messenger?
Shanti Kalra

Hello Shanti and Neha, you do have a point but as a policy I do not comment on other Feng Shui consultants. As for meeting me, you are welcome to call me on 9820199378.
Door in inauspicous South Direction
My house is in kerala. The house is facing towards South. My date of birth if 25.07.1964.
Vijay Kumar
egtco@emirates.net.ae
Hello vijay, in vaastu a south facing house is considered totally inauspicious. However, in feng shui, it is determined from your pa kua number and is not always considered unlucky. I suggest that you opt for feng shui consultation. If unfortunately, South happens to be one of your unlucky directions then we can do both the remedies; Feng Shui and Vaastu.
Countering Grand Duke Jupitor
My Kua is 4. My wealth direction is North. My husband & I own a copier company and we operate it from our home. My desk faces North with a large window on my back facing a lush backyard. My husband's desk faces West (Kua 6). Lately, we've been experiencing lots of chaos in our work and worry that all afflictions (Grand Duke Jupiter, 6 Killings...) are attacking us!
Fabiola
fabiola@copyservinternational.net
Hello Fabiola, you can acquire Pi Yao from my web site to counter Grand Duke Jupiter. It needs to be moved by 30 degrees every year. You will get the instructions with it. As for Three Killings, you must never sit with your back towards it. Nor should you do any renovation in this sector, and the sector changes every year. In 2006, the Chinese year of Dog it is in North.
As you seem to be facing so many problems, my advice is to opt for complete Feng Shui advice.
Chinese Coins and knot
I have some old chinese coins I want to make into a wealth talisman. I don't know how to tie them and have bought some pre-tied replica coins to see how it's done, but they're not all the same. Where can I get the right method?
John Kelly
nimmoweir@yahoo.co.uk
Dear John, you can copy the method from the coins available at our web site but the coins need to be energized too. I suggest that you contact an authentic Feng Shui Master in your locality with these coins. You can also courier the coins to me. They will be energized and returned to you.
Want to visit
"Dear Mr Mohan Deep, I am a happily married woman of 45 years. My husband is well off and involved in his business and my only son is in college. I have a lot of time on my hand wish to do something to occupy myself. I saw your photograph for the first time on your web site and somehow felt a strange attraction for you. Your eyes hold a magnetic attraction. Every time, after that, whenever I visited your web site and saw your photo I felt like writing to you, meeting you. I live in Pune but can come to Mumbai to meet you any time convenient to you. I also would like to invite you to my house in Pune. How do I go about it, sir?"
P.S. Please do not disclose my identity if you post my mail on your web site.
Saira
Hello Saira, Thanks for the compliments. You are welcome to visit me at my office. I also can visit Pune but it is not clear what you wish to do. The best thing is to come to me with the floor plan or diagram of your house. I will take a look and we will try to enhance the Career corner if you want to work or we will try to trigger the Relationship sector so that you can socialize more. I can also visit your house at Pune and give Feng Shui suggestions.
Vaastu or Feng Shui?
Sir, I had a flourishing business. I was manufacturing a popular brand of home appliances. We had several fast selling products. Last year, I moved into a new, larger apartment. The builder had advertised that the building had been constructed in consultation with a Vaastu expert. Yet, from the time I moved in my business started going downhill. I am worried. Why am I facing problems when the building is Vaastu compliant? Can Feng Shui help me? What is the difference between Feng Shui and Vaastu?
Jackie S (name changed on request)
Hello Jackie, I am not position to comment on the claims made by the builder. Assuming that the claims were correct and a Vaastu expert was consulted, your problems have to do with the Feng Shui of your apartment. What if your main entrance is not in your lucky direction? What if you have placed something in the money corner that clashes with it ruling element, wood? I am sure Feng Shui can be of use to you. Here is the link to an article I wrote sometime back that will throw some light on the difference between Vaastu and Feng Shui.

Business Feng Shui
Myself Dinesh Kumar Agarwal r/o of hyderabad . I have a doubt acccordingly feng Shui matter read in a book. Sir i own a shop named SHYAM medical hall its faces SOUTH direction as my shop is of chemist i have a furniture having sliding glass in my racks in which i keep my stock .

Waiting for u r reply
Dinesh agarwal
dinesh_lalla@yahoo.co.in
Hello Dinesh, Dozens of shoes pointed towards your shop can be disastrous for your business. I have also noticed that business situated opposite barbar shops do not flourish. The shadow of these shops falling on your shop too may be harmful. But it is not possible to say anything categorically without seeing the premises.
Problems in Marriage
My Name is Maria (name changed) born to parents of different ethnic backgrounds.
I am married to my per-school friend who has been my husband since 1985. We have only one son 20 year and he is currently studying. To educate him is quite a sacrifice for us. I hope he does well at exams that he can receive a scholarship.
We have been living in a small 2- bed room apartment for the past 21 years.
I have been holding the job of a secretary of the past 20 years, I have been exposed to IT, Finance and Human Resource and doing more than the function of a secretary. The stakes seem to be only set high for me to move to the next level, but noticeably not for my peers. I am the only secretary in the company (28
secretaries) with such qualifications, but promotions went to every one else less qualified, less experienced that I am.
The marriage is rough. My spouse has a child outside of the marriage, which he continuously deny. There seem to be very little money to do anything. I need a job the pays a very comfortable sum that I can acquire a house soon, and put away some money for the golden years, that I can travel, go on holidays, purchase and wear clothes that ladies wear, etc ...
How can u help. I do not have money to pay for your service, at least not now.
Thanks
Looking forward to hearing from you
regards.
mohan deep
Hello Maria, you really need to opt for professional consultation. But since you do not have money my advise is that you may acquire the print of aqua bamboo painting from my web site at http://www.fengshuimiracle.com and keep it in Southeast. Come to me for professional consultation after your money problem is solved.
