Newbie needs advice on individual queries

[dera]

I'm not sure if you answer individual queries or not. If not, please forgive the intrusion. I'm not very knowledgeable about Feng shui and I live in Spain and cannot find any English speaking experts so it's trial and error!
My partner and I live and work in a north facing house (the front door faces north). My house should be NW, his NE. If I've done this correctly, this means that for both of us, the death line or disaster line runs directly from our front door. how can I help solve that?
Our office, where we both work from the same desk, is in the east corner of the house and we have a choice of the desk facing north, under the widow, looking out on to the garden and pool area, although all the windows are covered with metal grilles, and the door behind us or else with the desk facing south but facing a blank wall with the door at the side of us (on the right). I've chosen the latter as I don't like the door behind us. I have the three coins, red braid hanging in the NE corner of the office.
the bedroom is in the SW and we have the beds under the N facing window same view, again with grilles, with our feet facing S and facing, but not directly in line with, the door. Previously the beds were West - East but we've recently changed.
We have a patio outside and I have wind chimes hanging outside, in line with the doorway. I also have windchimes hanging in the window of the office and also between the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. I have a crystal hanging in the window of the bedroom.
Any suggestions on harmonising the house would be appreciated, bearing in mind that it is very small and also rented so too much change is limited.
Thanks for any help offered.

Under the Eight House theory, there is really not much one can do other than understand that the house is the least suitable to you.
But one should look at the bigger picture. For example, what intangible force is affecting the bedroom.
Here, it is best that it is one of the four good intangible forces.
On the other hand if one spouse has a good intangible force and the other not so good, let the spouse with the better intangible force sleep closer to that sector.
For example if the husband's intangible force is prosperity while the wife's is disaster at the North sector (where the bed is).
Let the husband sleep closer to this North sector, shielding, the wife i.e. the wife sleeps further away from the intangible force.

Yes, under Shapes and Form Feng Shui it is best to have the table face the door.
Rather than having the door behind you. `On guard position).
Perhaps, I believe that most likely you have read somewhere to use three coins with red braid to generate wealth. Well, this is up to you as it is more of a believe than Feng Shui.

You can use the Eight House theory to confirm this.
Where possible:
1. Priority should go to sleeping at a good sector first.
2. Only after Para 1 is `satisfied' then you have a luxury of sleeping with the head facing a good direction (based on the Eight House theory).

For the placement of wind chimes and crystals, usually it is up to you (especially if you use `sixth sense' or `trial and error Feng Shui). As not much information is available here.
Most of the time, a more scientific method is to analyse using Flying Star theory to confirm if it is good or bad placing wind chimes or crystals.
This depends on the degree or involvement of an individual i.e. if one do not want to go further than just basic Feng Shui, thus, the choice is yours.
Warmest Regards,
