I hope I understand correctly. Do you mean to say that your house has a slope at the back of the house.

Frankly, I have seen many situations (not sure) if it is the same description of your house where: one walks into the front of the house. But the house was e.g. built 3 levels, where the two other levels are built lower down.

For example, the highest level is the frontage and because of the slope in the property, the rest of the house is built at lower levels (due to the slope). From the frontage the house looks more like a one storey (level) house. Not sure if this fits your description or not.

Under Shapes and Form Feng Shui, this is not an ideal situation especially it is directly behind the house.

I can understand why architects in the west do this. Mostly due to privacy reasons. But it would be the worst impact if it is behind the house (west side).

The rationale here is that while it is good to activate water positions at the frontage; the back should normally have a solid backing.

Under the Eight House Theory, there is really not much `cure' here. Here the theory can assist one to locate good sectors to spent time at. But if it is not a good sector, there is not much under this theory. As each theory or concept has its own strengths and limitations.

In my opinion, it is difficult to correct a sloping home. The best option in the long term (or long run) is to find a better home.

Just 3 weeks ago, I visited one of my client's father's bungalow house for an audit. Fortunately, his home is on the better side. While, there is a home that was left vacant just 100 metres away which is sloping. I had strongly advised him to forgo looking at purchasing that property (at all costs).

Warmest Regards,
