Dear Anon,

1. If you have the opportunity to avail yourself to the services of a Feng Shui practitioner onsite, much the better. Since you are building a new house, many considerations need to be considered.

Other important considerations, is that the Feng Shui consultant can advise you on the best date for `starting' the work.

2. There are lots of considerations to be made and a trained eye would be a better choice.

There are a few considerations here:

1. Where possible, the house should be suitable to the breadwinner.

The Eight House can be used generally to check how suitable the house is to the breadwinner. Where possible avoid the death or disaster sector.

2. On the birth chart of the house, if it is a new house and if it is possible to have a double 7's at the main door for a period 7 house, much the better.

Alternatively, the main door should be at an auspicious sector.

3. Usually after considering Para 1 and 2, then you see how best the door can be `protected' from a direct poison arrow. For example, if there are no other alternatives and under Para 1 and 2, it may be advantages to tilt the main door to an auspicious sector of the breadwinner.

As mentioned, for those who are new to Feng Shui may find what I mention Greek to you.

If so, this is the reason why, I believe, if you can find a Feng Shui practitioner to do a onsite analysis the better.

Under the Conference: Photo Tours of Interest (with Pictures)

Locate the short write-up on the Sterling Condominum.

This plot of land has a rectangular shape. But a few units in this condominum have excellent Feng Shui. However, this triangle plot sits on a hill. The apex is the tip of the triangle. Those at the apex are considered to have good Feng Shui.

Based on symbolism of Feng Shui, those at the apex are like at the `Top' or occupy the `top' positions.

Thus what this means is that not all triangle plot of land have `bad' Feng Shui.

If you are using the Eight House Theory, there are four auspicious and four inauspicious sectors.

Generally, especially if the house has the death/disaster sector at the main entrance area, this is under the Eight House, the most unsuitable house for the breadwinner.

Ideally, the best is to avoid having a bathroom at the centrepoint. Where possible, keep this sector clear.

If it can be avoided, prior to building so much the better.

Frankly, after having seen so many cases, in my personal opinion, there are no known cures for this. Best, avoid, avoid and avoid.

A full Feng Shui audit is not isolated. One has to use all the various concepts and theories to examine the house. Shapes and Form, Flying Star and Eight house cannot live in isolation.
