  This sequel to The Feng Shui Handbook is a practical guide to devising an individual feng shui chart and personal direction finder to see how personal characteristics affect the harmony of surroundings in everyday situations. In the first two sections, Understanding Your Place in the Chinese Zodiac and Finding Your Way , international feng shui expert Master Lam explains the personal influences in people's lives, including: one's place in the Chinese zodiac, with charts; one's relationship to the five elements - wood, water, fire, earth and metal; the colours beneficial to people born under each zodiac sign and the five elements; the yin/yang qualities of the trigrams of the I Ching - mountain, lake, heaven, earth, water, fire, wind, thunder; and an explanation of the energies of the creatures used for positioning in feng shui - tortoise behind, dragon to the left, tiger to the right, snake at the centre and phoenix ahead. With these tools, readers can choose the most secure or dynamic position in a meeting, the best vantage point for a sales pitch, the most relaxing seat at a restaurant or an advantageous location for a home, in harmony with their individual characteristics. Part three - Avoiding Common Feng Shui Mistakes - gives advice on how to correct colours, furnishings or furniture arrangements which disturb the energies. Part four, Building Your Feng Shui Model , applies the principles of feng shui in the home, in the street, in public places and at work. Master Lam Kam Chuen is also the author of The Way of Energy and Step-by-Step Tai Chi .
