Form Feng Shui

[Guest]

Hello Cecil,

Quote

section 1 - Shapes and Form FS = 50 % marks
In modern conditions where a lot of people live in apartment buildings in
crowded cities one wonders whether the correct form has a true interpretation.
I live in a 5 storey building on the first floor -- the facing side is east
105 deg -- Tui. In the sitting side i.e. west there is a large multi-storey
building - 8 floors. In the North there is also another building at a
distance of approx 30 yards. In the south there is another building. The
south and north buildings are double storey. In the front, the facing side
which also has the door, running eastward is another apt, after which there
is a busy one way street running in a parallel direction to the entrance ie
north to south. Across this street are some more apartment buildings.
Can this be taken to be good form -- conforming to the throne

configuration, after considering the following:
1. The building on the back n south are very close to our apartment -- 5 to
10 yards.
2. Can one take the road to the south as representing water? Modern writers
on Feng Shui interpret the road to represent a river/stream. An apartment
in front to u can hardly be avoided in modern apt buildings which in most
cases open to an open foyer/next apt.
If not what remedies need to be taken?
Thanks
Anil

Dear Anil,
Yes, you are correct to bring up this issue.
In a modern crowded city, one should instead look at Feng Shui at a macro level.
Here, cities should instead be considered instead as at a micro level. Many cities come under this definition. Where, wealth creation is based on (for the majority) the wealth created within the city.
Thus, it would explan one's puzzlement as to how do we look at Feng Shui of an apartment say which is surrounded by similar apartments or buildings and where streets may be relatively rectangular in shape and cross each other at intersections.
Please see below:-

Overall, as mentioned earlier, for a city, we can consider wealth as overall part of the entire city.
However, if one is luckier, there are sites within a city that are considered more auspicious than other sites. Here, these are sites that in particular has the movement of the dragon, flowing from the upper reaches down to the sea. Some buildings, avoid trapping the dragon and may have open spaces or clear glass panels to allow the dragon (and the dragon qi) to move downwards towards the sea.
Sites that can accumulate wealth are considered advantages here. You may need a good FS practitioner to review this. The other concept is how your building relates to the other surrounding buildings.
Each building can be considered or classified under a specific element. Thus one competitive advantage is to have your building generate wealth at the expense of other buildings.
Another point is that, `protect, protect, protect'. Buildings should be protected against any poison arrows aimed at it.
Currently it is very difficult for me to recommend any remedy unless, you are able to furnish more details or if possible pictures of surrounding building and your building for further comments.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
