ANSWERS: 1. If you have a south-sector bathroom, you should decorate in blues/blacks. To decorate it in reds is to enhance the toilet, which you never want to do.
2. When arranging your desk at work, the MOST important thing is to sit where you can see the door. Then, face an auspicious direction and have a mountain behind you!
3. You should always find out what is in a sector FIRST and then enhance it accordingly. If the north has a bathroom, you DO NOT want to put more water here as it will enhance the toilet. Likewise, you should not add water, if the north sector has a bedroom. This will cause money loss. If the north has a living room, front door, dining room, or other area, then enhancing with water or fish is just fine.
4. Get help from people in power by installing a 6-rod hollow windchime in the NW sector.
5. Never have PLANTS in the center of the home as these will hurt your health, wealth, career, and relationships.
6. If your SW sector is missing, your romance suffers.
7. Water should always be in the FRONT of your home.
8. The "mouth of chi" is the front door.
9. The best place to activate all 9 sectors is the LIVING ROOM.
10. Blue and black should never be used on ceilings or roofs.
