Dear Anon,

1. If one hires a Feng Shui practitioner who practises (Ren Cai) or Human/Man luck Feng Shui, more often, a fountain is placed close to the main entrance door area.

2. But, honestly, the placement of a fountain comes under the following considerations:-

2.1 It is not advisable to have a fountain - especially if the breadwinner is a weak fire or strong water person. As a water position can overwhelm the weak fire or extinguish his weak fire. If one is a strong water person, too much water can also overwhelm him/her.

2.2 What is the actual purpose of a fountain?

2.2.1 If one is living on a landed property, a water position especially at the frontage does help. This is because, if there is a fountain or water position, it implies that there can never a built-up area above this area. Thus -- clear space or like a bird flying freely at the frontage of this area.

2.2.2 Image a large waterfall, or a large fountain.

2.2.3 The key success of such a vibrant flow is that the water droplets `friction' against the air. This friction is often said to create `cluster ions' that can help bond bad ions or fuse them. Thus neutralising or cleasing the air/ or surrounding.

2.2.3 Now imagine what a small tiny fountain does?

In countries like Singapore, where we are at the equator, there is already lots of humidity in the air. Imagine, placing a fountain inside the house. This may become unhealthy to family members especially the young. Since, the water in the fountain often evaporates. And worse, if we close the windows.

2.2.3 Please do a search for " Rivervale " and if you have the time, try to read the article on Rvervale cresent condominium in Singapore. And learn why the water position in this condo is considered as a `stagnant' water.

3. Under Flying Star Feng Shui, and based on the productive sequence of the Five elements concept: metal helps water. Thus, if we really want to find out our so call wealth element based on Flying Star Feng Shui, than often, the water feature is placed at locations such as #7 (weak metal) and #6 (strong metal) positions.

4. For example, under the current period 7, some homes have what we call double #7's at the main entrance (for the 20 year Flying Star). Under such a situation, and since this is the frontage area; the double #7 metal can take advantage of water.

This is then truly called finding proper location(s) to activate water position. Not the whims and fancies of some FS practitioner's interpretation.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
