Dear Diana,

1. Thank you for your message.

2. I had difficulty replying to your mail because frankly, when I see DOB's quoted in any of the forum messages; I really do not have the time to look at each individual's DOB not counting that there were several DOB's quoted in the mail.

3. Therefore, any questions, added with such information, I will have to usually skip answering any of the additional questions.

4. For more information as to how to get quick answers, the link or rationale as to why some questions - never gets answered can be found under the following link-:

5. Guidelines to installing a waterfall:-

5.1 Ideally, if the site (contrast this to a single unit i.e. house): A site e.g. a development such as a commercial building; a industrial building; shopping complex or a condominum project. It is beneficial to install e.g. a "waterfall".

5.2 Symbolism in Feng Shui

The key success factor in " Wealth generation" in Feng Shui has to do with retention of wealth.

The clue is given under this URL:-

https://www.geomancy.net/events/Rotary_Club_FS_Talk/rc_talk_slide_28.htm

In the above slides, one will notice that the concept of Wealth is one where symbolically, wealth is received or retained.

Similarily, the clue can also be found under this link:-

https://www.geomancy.net/events/Rotary_Club_FS_Talk/rc_talk_slide_19.htm

Here, it symbolises two hands clasped together to receive wealth.

5.3 Therefore, it will not help much if one purchases a Water fountain or Water fall and instead of retaining wealth, such water fountains - IF THEY DO SPURT OUT water i.e. waste water where instead of water flowing in.. water gets scattered away... this is equivalent of " spending money ".

6. In such a situation, choose the waterfall or fountain carefully.

In the above case, referred under:-

https://www.geomancy.net/events/Rotary_Club_FS_Talk/rc_talk_slide_28.htm

This location is the Suntec City Water fountain where if one notice carefully, water is gathered into the centre. And the ring or circular ring shown is made of metal element.

There is a Three Harmonious Element combination at work here:-

Earth element: wealth at the centre. Where water falls into the `earth' in the middle.

Metal element (the huge metallic ring - as seen in the picture)

Water element (from the fountain)

Under the Five Elements Concept, Productive cycle:

Ref URL:

https://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-5element.htm

One will notice the harmony of EARTH with METAL with WATER. Making this a three cycle flow of productive sequence.

7. This particular water fountain, located in Singapore, has been officially declared as the World's Largest Water fountain.

And the Suntec City is famous as it was a joint venture of Hong Kong Million/ Billionares built seriously on Feng Shui prespective.

8. Frankly, it is very difficult for me to comment whether it is good or bad to install a waterfall, based on a few words of description. As I try not to `imagine' too much. For fear, that I may guess wrongly.

There are many other considerations for placement of a waterfeature in or outside the home.

Other considerations include (importantly) what is the neighbourhood like, the frontage, the back and even gradient and plot of land.

Other compass issues like West, Tiger side and NE (devil's gate) and SW (devil's backdoor).

9. In general, all I can say is that it is safer to install a water feature at the frontage so long as it is not tall but provide clear space. I.e. a waterfall, may inadvertenly create a mountain effect at the frontage.

It would be nice to see a picture or more information with regards to the Shapes and Forms. The more information provided here, it is felt, the more confident I am, of providing better advise.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
