Home - Feng Shui

[GoldenDragon]

Dear Cecil,
I loved this home that we bought in 1991, but I am not sure if it is good for me. I have noticed it does not have very good chi. The first owners got divorced and the second owners lost everything, so we purchase this home on a foreclosure sale. The house faces the end of a road that curves to a court. I had placed a metallic woodchime (my sign is metal). It faces east, while my lucky side is west, so I put another set of house number on the west side of the home. Additionally, we use the entrance door from the garage more often than the front door, but this entrance door faces directly to the back sliding door. What should I do besides putting a plant to block the flow. The master bedroom is on top of the garage, so what should I do to counteract that? I have a swimming pool at the backyard, when it is best to have water in front of the house. How should I bring about a good chi with that situation? And finally, I read that the wealth point is on the top left hand corner of the room, while a photo in the book shows lower left corner of the room? Which is the right corner and should I place a plant with rounded leaves and 3 coins on the corner? When do you use crystal mobile and where would you put it?
These are a lot of questions and I appreciate any help you can provide me.

Dear Marianne,
1. For a house `characteristic' of divorce, do check out the Qi does not flow directly out of the main entrance door to the back door.
I am not sure if this is a `coincidence' but I happen notice, quite alot of times, this direct flow of Qi from the main entrance door to the back door causes problems.
However, this is just a personal observation.
2. Frankly, without much details, it is difficult for me to comment in details.
3. Since, you mentioned that your house is at the end of a road (the part on the curve is not too clear); since you have placed a metallic windchime and it is acceptable, I believe this is ok.
Please see below:-

So long as you manage to `screen' the entrance door from the backdoor and allow Qi to meander slowly into the house is acceptable.

As you mentioned that you used a plant to `block' the flow of Qi, I hope that it acts a screen provided it is tall enough.

Frankly, nothing much you can do here.
I have

backyard, when it is best to
have water in front of the
house. How should I bring

situation?
Here, you can try to create an artificial "back" e.g. line a few plants. For example along the back wall. This is only a suggestion.
And finally, I
read that the wealth point is
on the top left hand corner of
the room, while a photo in the
book shows lower left corner
of the room? Which is the
right corner and should I
place a plant with rounded
leaves and 3 coins on the
corner? When do you use
crystal mobile and where would
you put it?

Without proper analysis using Feng Shui techniques, it is hard to say for certain where the wealth point is.
If, one does everything right, have an excellent Shapes and Form, good exterior and interior, one is already enhancing one's Earth luck.
We should try to maximize our wealth by doing everything `right' rather than just focus on one `spot'.
I remember one user here mentioned that she has seen someone purchasing a `lucky buddha' which suppose to bring luck.
But instead it turned out to be a `lucky' spot for a neighbour's dog as it lifted its leg each time it passes this figurine. What a `wet' figurine.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Anon,
Where possible, try to allow Qi to meander.
It is better to `avoid' multiple "layers" of open areas (if you can).
Since you are more familar with your home, can you feel a rush of air when standing at your door i.e. at certain times? If you have windows on the other walls of the room, this would lessen the effect.
For example if you have windows only at the North and South of the house, wind depending on the time of day will blow from e.g. high pressure zone to low pressure zone and vice versa.
And if you only have windows at North or South or ( East and West ), then you may feel the gush of air pressure flowing directly from North to South or vice versa.
I hope u understand what I mean.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
