I am living in a very inauspicious house

[MarkG]

Cecil,
I just check my house direction on the Flying Star chart using your web site. The result was that I am living in a very inauspicious house. Is there anything I can do other than moving out from the house. I just recently moving in.
Thank you.

Dear Mark,
Can I clarify:-
1. When you mentioned your house is very inauspicious, does it mean that the location for your main door entrance is " very inauspicious "?
2. Besides the base star being " very inauspicious "... Are there any mountain or water star to activate?
3. Have you also used the Shapes and Form School to examine e.g. your main entrance door? Are there any `poison arrows' in the form of e.g. a lone lamp post etc..
Do let me know of the above so that I can help you further.

Dear Mark,
It is good to learn that there are no `poison arrows' `aimed' towards your main entrance door.
The purpose I asked you on this is because, I would like to at an overview of your `problem'. Therefore, we can then concentrate on simply looking at the ` inauspicious' main entrance door location.
Another point I like to ask is besides this `inauspicious' area, you should also look at areas you spent most of the time at. For example, check to see which `reading' your bedroom also.
To use the " Flying Star template " you need to do the following:-
1. Get hold of a copy of your house's layout plan (preferably to scale). It is best to work with an A4 sized sheet. Easier to handle.
2. Next, determine the North to South orientation and mark it in the layout plan.
3. Sub-divide your home layout plan into 9 equal sectors.
4. Determine the centre of the house. For more information on how to do so, please
read this URL: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm
4. Lastly, super-impose your house's Flying Star Chart onto the layout plan aligning it to the North to South Direction.
5. The main thing is to look at the Flying Star Chart overall not just the main entrance door.
At locations where there is a mountain or water star, you have to activate it inorder to benefit from it.
For example if the chart says that there is a mountain star. You can activate the wall where the mountain star is `stated.' There are two types of activation: Either one will do: 1. You can hang a picture of a mountain scene (do not have a stream or waterfall). E.g. a Picture of Japan's Mount Fuji or the Himalayas or The Rocky Mountains etc....
2. Alternatively, you can place solid immovable objects (without wheels). Examples are: A piece of smooth rock, a solid paper weight e.g. of a tortise, or any other heavy paper weight where you can place on a desk.
This can include a crystal ware, bronze, metal paperweight. (Do remember that the object should not be hollow e.g. a porcelain decoration.
As for the inauspicous main entrance door, usually the `cure' is to place a screen between the door and the house. It need not be full length. Alternatively, close the door when you do not use it. The walls at this area should be bright e.g. whitewash instead of dark or light up that location by not having heavy curtain blinds on the windows of the house.
I will be glad to assist you further if you need help.

Not that I know off. How do I apply the
Flying star chart ? Should I just put
the chart on top my house layout as is
without consider the actual compass
direction.
3. Have you also used the

No. How do I applied the Shapes and Form
School ? At the moment, there is no
poison arrow(s) that I know off, other
than a roof top ^ point toward my house
about 20 feet away.

In an article I wrote much earlier at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/photo1.htm there is a picture (Picture 3) where this house has it's back at the junction of a major traffic light junction.
The owner went to the extent of erecting a high brick wall and he even placed two Chinese warrior statues and recently he even place a sign between the two Chinese warrior with the words " Fort Meyer " (Meyer refering to the side road to his house).
At the foot of the two statues, he placed a wide variety of cactus. On the top of the walls he placed at roughly 2 feet intervals Chinese lamp to represent `lighting' up the place.
Imagine, this person went to so much extent to protect his back yard.
I am not asking you to do so. But to point out the it is equally important to `secure' the back of the house. The easiest remedy is thus to place a barrier at the back of the house. This can include: bushes, shrubs, creepers, trees lined up in an orderly fashion. Alternatively a brick wall with alternate spaces for ventilation.
Please see below for other answers:-

Should you arrange the bed, you have also to make sure that the bed is not directly facing the bedroom door. Between the two, if you can try to avoid placing the bed in direct view of the bedroom door. Alternatively, if you do so, you can place a side table and place a table lamp between the bed and the door or use a screen or a small linen cupboard between them.

No, you should first get hold of a layout plan. Next, determine the North to South alignment of the house. Find the centre of the house.
You should also correctly determine the direction of the main door. E.g. North 15 degrees. Once you do that and after completing the Flying Star chart and template; match the North to South alignment of the Flying Star chart and superimpose this on the North to South grid of the house.

The main entrance is the door coming in from the garage door. Yes it can be consiered a full screen. But may not necessay be good as it does not let in ch'i to circulate properly.

 

A screen should by right need not be so tall and the purpose of a `good' screen is to allow good ch'i to meander or circulate in the house. Your door is infact `stopping' ch'i to flow in properly.

You need to stand immediately at the entrance of your main door and look at the pointed roof top. Is it directly pointed towards the house i.e. infront of your main entrance. Just imagine shooting an arrow from your neighour's roof, does it seem to point at your entrance door? If no, then it is not a threat to your main entrance door.
Do the same for the windows. Does the pointed arrow point directly towards the window, if so, you may need some feng shui remedy. E.g. using `heavy' curtains etc..

The question to ask is how long do you spent your time there? If it is a bedroom e.g. we usually need at least 8 hours of sleep, yes, it is damaging. Therefore, to answer your question, you need to ask whether what is the duration spent there. if you spent little time there, then the effect is not that great.

2. Since the family room is on my
"Spook" location, should I spend less
time here ? Or can I use something to
change it an "auspicious" location ?

 

It is still acceptable to spent time at the "Spook" area because there are more damaging intangible forces such as " death or disaster lines " to avoid.

3. Do I use the Flying Star Chart on
every floor ?

 

No, you need not do one for every floor so long as each floor does not have a main entrance door.

4. Is there anything I can do to "block"
any of the inauspicious location ?
There are many methods and techniques used. Currently there is a debate as to whether electrical items can be placed at inauspicious locations. One school of thought is that electrical items do have magnetic field and may alter the intangible force `field'. The other school of thought is that electrical items belong to the " Water element ". While another school of thought says no such thing as using electrical items to `negate' inauspicious location. For me, I still feel that electrical items can be used in a way to negate inauspicious location. One example is the use of a washing machine. As it rotates `violently' during spinning, you can place such items in say the back of the house to "shake off" the inauspicoius intangible force.
5. Does having a bath room above the
entrance consider "inauspicious" ?

 

Yes, in Feng Shui, it is best not to have the bathroom above the entrance. This is particularly true if the waste pipes are not covered up and when your gets walk in he/she sees the pipes. Worse still if it leaks it leaks on them and you!
