Dear Ben,

Thanks for the photo. I now have a better understanding of the situation.

1. Looks like this is quite a major `Sha Qi' even if the traffic movement is not that great.

2. Many homes under such conditions usually come under problems and worse for the breadwinner or owners if they stay there as money would easily be drained and leading to financial difficulties. Fortunately, you are not staying there. There is still appropriate cures to this. But one has to go on the offensive rather than to use `white' or feng shui friendly cures for such a house.

3. I looked at the window (in particular) at the frontage) that bears the most brunt of the impact. Here, even if one has curtains or blinds, this may not be good enough.

4. I see that there are plants or patches where plants or trees can be planted. But it is quite understandable that it is rented premises that they may not be keen to upkeep the home. Plants can help. But if this may not be feasible than look at proposal under para 5 below.

5. Use a pair of cannons as shown in the attached picture. If you do not use it, one option is to park the car parallel to the frontage. (But this is not as good an option).

6. One should also place a Ba Gua mirror as shown in black circle above the windows mentioned under Para 1.

7. As from the position, I find that the main entrance is (so far) not much of a threat, but need to monitor this after the cures are in place.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
