Poison Arrow

[myfs_98979]

Hi Cecil
I would like to get your help in identifying poison arrows.
We are about to build our house and our master bedroom has an ensuite adjacent to the bed, although the toilet is hidden behind the vanity. I have heard that you should not have your bed facing the toilet door. If the ensuite door is adjacent to my bed, would that be bad fengshui? Also, there is a corner as you come in through the door from the corridor. I have attached a picture - is this corner considered a poison arrow?
I would appreciate your opinion and advice.
Thanks

Dear Anon,
1. Thank you for the sketch.
2. After going thru it, the attached toilet to the master bedroom seems to be acceptable i.e. the toilet door location.
3. The rationale, why, it is considered by practitioners to be unfavourable to have an attached toilet, has to do with the toilet qi. It is felt that the toilet qi should quickly be flushed away.
4. But as mentioned by you, given that the toilet bowl is not facing the toilet door, there is frankly no issue. Even if the toilet bowl does face the door, it is said that how dirty can one's toilet be. A little `dirt' especially from the flushing of the toilet bowl in one's home is acceptable. Many of us have used a public toilet and some are much dirtier. And a little of germs is acceptabl.
5. More importantly, the air-con condenser fan should not besited above the toilet door. This is because, as cold air falls to the ground, some of it may enter the toilet (even if the toilet door is closed) and this forces some pressure i.e. making the toilet region (high pressure), thus `forcing' air from the toiletto come into the room.
6. No the poison arrow you had mentioned at the corridor is a non issue since it is part of the wall extension of bedroom 3.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Anon,
Attached, please find a graphical illustration of your proposed layout plan (partial).
The major concern would be the flow of qi from the bedroom areas (please refer to marking 1 to 2 and vice-versa).
In my opinion, it is not so much of the attached bathroom, but instead:
1. the long narrow corridor leading directly towards the master bedroom main door.
2. In terms of qi flux between the living/dining (if it is one single storey apartment) - it is not favourable with a narrow corridor (interspaced - with so many toilet(s))
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
