For wealth
Meanwhile...
Below is the Feng Shui Home Identification Pack
...which you can copy & paste for your personal use. The
first page will allow you to identify the most blatant
no-no’s. Then it gets progressively more demanding. If you
are stuck by page two you may need my Yes/No Survey (1 hour when itinerary permits, charged at my domestic hourly rate of £87.50) This fee would be deducted from any subsequent full survey or walkround.
These new owners may not have got all the way through the information below.
Feng Shui Home Identification Pack.
1. For the layman
- Avoid external sat (ugly or pointing): trees, buildings, alleys, pylons, churches, bridges, drains, pillars, stagnant water or other topographical features too close and/or in poor Imperial Heaven Stars (see 2) . Relate the positions to the Trigram(s) relating to prospective inhabitants.
- Avoid numbers 4,14,114 but favour numbers 2,3,8,28,38
- Look for regular shape ie avoid protrusions and exclusions.
- Confirm tai chi (geometrical centre ie heart) of property is within. Hatchet shape for instance, can put tai chi outside.
- Ensure ming tang (open space to front and/or back and/or inside at threshold) is sufficiently large and bordered by jade belt (bordering water).
- Is there a table mountain (ie further height) beyond the jade belt?
- Check shape of plot is regular.
- Check for healthy light patterns ie no area dark 24/7 or overexposed.
- Ensure any left-right incline is not too marked; avoid bowl or mound plots.
- Is the house facing a T-junction or narrow gap, at the end of a cul-de-sac or foot of a slope?
- Is it outside a curve? Inside is generally fine.
- Check the façade of the house is level. Avoid tilted frontage.
- Avoid roofs sloping to a valley over the house.
- Ensure fence is sound and solid, not constricting, too high or too low.
- Avoid toilets close to or over front door.
- Avoid long straight unbroken corridor from front to back.
- Avoid staircase opening onto front door (or at tai chi).
- Avoid beam above front door.
- Bed should not be under a beam.
- Research the fate of the previous occupants.
- No major external water at North West.

2. For the feng shui beginner
- Match kwa number(s) (based on year of birth) to house, ie:
- West Group (2,6,7,8) to West House (sitting position SW,NW,W,NE)
- East Group (1,3.4,9) to East House (sitting position N,E,SE,S)
- Identify compass orientation of direct mountain – closest major height. A drive around is advisable as well as study of a map.
- Relate this to the palaces of the doors by calculating the chi form.
- Check quality of soil (ideally tang lung green, goy moon yellowish or mou kuk pale white).
- Ensure site is higher than face.
- What is the true facing direction? Does the topography agree? Can it be changed?
- Factor in the Yearly Afflictions: tai sui, 3 killings, Year breaker, 5 Yellow.

3. Advanced feng shui checks.
- Match facing direction to element(s) missing from ba zi.
- Identify compass orientation of water holding chi coming down from mountain. This may be a road or railway line and should not be too fast.
- Check kinships: choi essential and kun if there are two.
- Ensure kwas match facing/site of topography.
- Look for Dragon’s Claw; two gates for entry is one too many.
- Ensure kitchen is in poor ba zhai location away from tai chi
- Ensure cooker faces favourable ba zhai direction. Keep water and fire apart and unopposed. Avoid stove on island, in front of door or below beam.
- Ensure main door well-positioned in ba zhai terms, and relative to cooker and master bedroom.
- What are pulses like? (Stronger pulse dictates kinship.)
- What do the Kinships say? See grid
- Main bedroom should be in favourable ba zhai location and regularly shaped.
- Staircase should be in good ba zhai sector.
- Compare lap yums of occupants with that of site measurement.
- Whose are the missing numbers?
- If door is in same family as site avoid kun.
- Door must not be in a mountain clashing the element of the family of the site.
- Doors must not violate Grandmaster Yang’s Curses (wood site not shen etc)
