Dear Mark, If you are a Strong Metal, then any additional metal would not be beneficial to you. This is because in Feng Shui what is most important is the Balance of Element. Strong Element is good as it means that you are able to take control of your wealth, life etc. However, when you are Strong you need some controlling elements to control or neutralize the excessive Metal in you. Under the Five Element Cures, the Elements that can control Metal are Fire and Wood. Fire directly destroy Metal, or Wood can destroy Earth which helps grow your Metal. In terms of the overall house, a Metal house is suitable to your Element. The more important aspect of the house which affects your Element is the renovation and furnitures . For furniture and fittings, you might want to include Fire and Wood elements which would control the excessive Metal. For the personal direction (or Eight House). This actually means that facing this 4 good direction to perform task, such as say when you are working try to face the excellent / prosperity direction. While you are sleeping it would be beneficial to sleep facing the Longevity direction. Etc. Under the Eight House Theory the elements are less important. Warmest Regards Robert Lee
