Q:I have been married for 10 years and our bedroom is in the southwest corner of our house. I read that married couples should not stay in this southwest direction. Can you please tell me the solution to this problem?

A: According to Feng shui, you are occupying the area, which is best suited for a married couple. This area is ruled by the earth energy, which by nature is exceptionally stable and manifests itself in the physical world in the form of partnerships and relationships. Couples who occupy a bedroom in the southwest are most fortunate and happy.

Q: My date of birth is April 4, 1960 (11.50pm). For the past three years, I have been going through financial strain and am not at all hopeful about the future. Please suggest a remedy to improve my position. Can you please tell me what my future is going to be like?

A: According to your pillars of destiny you are a strong water person. There has been turmoil in your life from 2004. This continues till the end of 2009. Expect something significant and positive to happen in your life this year. This could give you a new profession. The fire element is hidden in your existing earth pillars, which reveal that you will have financial gain in the year 2009 and 2010. Then you step into wood period, which will help you to express your inner potential. This will aid in generating wealth. Any business related to garments, timber, medicines, agriculture, paper, electronics and earth should be productive for you.

Fire symbolises direct wealth for you. It is best to support this element by keeping a red handkerchief in your pocket or by using this colour for your name on the visiting card. Derive strength from the sun by worshipping it with water and a red flower. Always face north while working.

Q: I have recently shifted to Calcutta and the flat we are occupying is in a secure area but a number of thefts have taken place in the last few months.

Though I am very careful with my money the servants steal it. Kindly suggest a remedy to stop this. Secondly, as we are new here, I feel lonely at times. Could you please suggest a few tips with which I could make some friends?

A: Firstly, you should keep your money under lock and key. Secondly, keep trustworthy servants. Finally, control the leakage by creating a solid threshold outside the main entrance and protect it by drawing a line of fresh salt near it under the doormat.

Change the salt everyday. Do not sweep away the old salt but collect it with a cloth and wash off in the kitchen basin and then draw a fresh line. This is a very powerful way of shielding the house.

The northwest sector of the house is popularly known as the friends’ area. Place pictures or paintings of friends dining together.
