Ideal Directions

Find out your propitious directions based on the principles of Feng Shui.

• Why is the house for sale?

1. If the house is being sold because of bankruptcy, the new owners could end up taking on the misfortune.
2. If the previous owner has died from an unnatural cause, it is best not to move into such a house
3. .If a fire has occurred more than once, it is a strong indication that it is a fire-prone plot.

• Mountains

Look for a house with a large mountain or a building behind it rather than an open space. Any mountain shape other than one that has a jagged outline is good.

• Rivers

Rivers or water bodies should ideally be to the east of the house, or failing that in the southwest until the year 2004. From 2004 to 2023 it should ideally be in the southwest, or failing that, in the East.

• Roads

Houses are in the best position on straight or gently curved roads, away from sharp bends or junctions. The movement of traffic on the road should be in little waves and of a non-polluting nature. This indicates a generation of wealth.

• Yin & Yang

Balance the masculine and feminine elements by looking for a house with equal number of houses to the left and to the right. To get a better idea, please refer to the section on Yin & Yang.

• Shapes of Houses

Look for a house with a shape relating to the element whose characteristics match your personality. The square and rectangular shapes of earth and wood offer the best security and stability. To get a better idea on the shape that suits your personality and element, please refer to our section on elements.

• Water Pipes

Large underground water pipes, other than ordinary domestic pipes, running in a back-to-front direction represent a drain of finances. Such houses should be avoided

• Tunnels

Houses above underground tunnels are best avoided, as the vibrations coming from below represent an undermining of your labour.
