> I have read somewhere saying that placing a metal windchime at the
North-East location is bad because for the North-East, it is the devil's
gate.

> Can I just find out from you what is the best or recommended location for
the windchime that I bought a few weeks ago. This windchime is made of clay
(earth) and my house is facing the North-East.

> Also just curious, how does one determined the location/direction of the
windchime? It is by looking out from the main door outwards? eg if I place
the clay windchime somewhere near the side of the covered car porch located
in front of my house and since my house is facing the North-East, it is
right to say that the windchime is located on the North-East as well?

In Feng Shui, and in general, it is adviseable to be more careful in placing
a metallic wind chime at sectors such as the North East (as you have pointed
out - this is the Devil's gate), South West and West (metal locations).

You have asked how to determine when to place a wind chime. It is good to
analyse the house by doing a Flying Star analysis and then checking to see
if a wind chime is `suitable'. Here, the type of material used and equally
color of the wind chime should also be considered.

For example, if the wind chime is colored red, or in a triangle shape,
(depending on the overall shape) it could mean that it has the fire element.

Frankly, it is hard for me to comment on your situation as mentioned above,
it would require i.e. either a physical audit (intuitive Feng Shui) or do a
Flying Star analysis.

On the other hand, if you do not want to carry out any of the above, would
have to use your own (personal) feelings or by trial and error Feng Shui.

> Secondly, it is true that it is not advisable to place a TV in front of
the bed inside the bedroom due to the reflection? What is the remedy for
this situation? Can I place a cloth over the TV when I am not watching
it?

Here, some of us are more sensitive than others with regards to `mirrors'.

In my opinion, many of the most recent TV sets have anti-glare coating and
may not necessary need to be covered up. But if you want to, you can do so.

If one can sleep peacefully all this while, why follow the jones and cover
the screen.

In my opinon, one should not be too concerned with too many `taboos' but do
what you feel is `good'.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
