Tree in front of the property

[myfs_140258]

Hi Cecil,
We have a city tree in front of our property. On a side note, the tree is on the walkway and belong to the city, we can't remove it. The tree is right in front of the main/front door (as looking from inside the door). The distance between the tree and the main/front door is about 33ft. We heard from a friend that this is not good feng shui. We have bagua mirror on top of our front door. We also add a mirror facing the main/front door in our foyer area. Can you please advise the cure we did is correct or not? Since the tree is about 33ft away from the main door, will it be bad feng shui? Your advise is appreciated.

These are some considerations:
1. You should check what type of bagua mirror you are using.
2. If you do a search under this forum; there are already lots of resouces on the type of mirrors:
2.1 In GENERAL, the mirror that you should be using; in modern times is a conVEX mirror.
2.2 In the past, perhaps, it was harder to mould a conVEX mirror; often especially in the 1950s to 1960s -1970's the most common mirrors are the FLAT type.
3. The best mirror, to use today to deflect poison arrow or sha qi is the conVEX mirror. While in the past the FLAT type is the only version available thus in the past, there was no choice but use this version : which often has a bagua trigram on the outer ring and a small flat mirror in the middle of this ba gua.
4. For poison arrows never use the conCAVE mirror. As it's purpose is to "capture" e.g. good scenery or meant for a location with missing area or corner.
5. As to a mirror facing main door; frankly, if you were to post this question to various Feng Shui practitioners, you may get different or differing views or answers.
5.1. For example, a geomancer may argue that it is good to place a mirror inside the home; as when one opens the door; the mirror will be an additional safeguard as it will reflect back the tree trunk away from the home.
5.2. On the flip side; one may have to check the flying star number(s) at that sector. if the sector is not good; then the mirror is said or can be said to reflect further "bad luck". For example, if the sector has #5 misfortune and sickness + #2 sickness; it is said that not so good to place a mirror to further inflame the sector. Therefore, in this area; there can be controversy in the use of the mirror.
