I would request you to please explain theprofile of the semi-circular carpet raditating outwards from the house ieshould the circular side face outside and plan side inside or the reverse .Also , I would like inform you that the pole is not made of wood but metal..So, in this case which color should be the carpet be.Thanks and Warm RegardsKapil Chawla.Subject: Telephone Pole over seeing my main door Quote From: "Cecil Lee" This message is sent from "free-advice" Mailing List.Dear Kapil,Under the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui, if a telephone pole istangent or directly faces one's main door; you are correct to say that it isconsidered inauspicious in Feng Shui.The reason is because, the main entrance door is considered the `mouth' ofthe house. It is also considered the central location where external Qicomes into the house. (Other similar important points include the windows atthe `frontage side of the house).In your case, symbolism plays an important part in Feng Shui. A narrowtelephone pole directly facing the main entrance door is `akin' to a knifeor blade slicing through the main entrance door.Under the Shapes and Form School, it is important to `protect' the mainentrance door from such `disturbances'.There are a few methods of rectifying it (some require minimal costs whileothers may require slightly higher costs):-1. The most cost effective method is to place a semi-circular carpetraditating outwards from the house.Acceptable colour is `gold' to yellow coloured carpet to neutralise the`Wood' element telephone pole. (Wood element especially if the pole is madeof wood.)2. The more costly methods include:a. Changing to a convex door. I believe this is usually not available inyour country unless it is specially ordered.The profile of the door looks something like this:-|)b. Tilting the door to face one of your auspicious directions. (Caution:You would need to consult a Feng Shui expert for this).The advantage here is if one's main door is facing an inauspiciousdirection, one can tilt the door to face an auspicious direction. Here, youare killing two birds with a stone because it will also solve the problem ofthe poison arrow caused by the telephone pole.3. In my personal opinion, it is less effective for non-Chinese to place aBa Gua mirror directly above the main entrance door. If there is really aspirit around, a Christian `ghost' for example would not even understand thesymbols on the Ba Gua; least frighten by it etc...I believe this is similar for other religious `denominations'.4. If there are steps to your main door, you can consider semi circularsteps at the front entrance.Semi-circular steps is symbolic of a Chinese butcher's blade (minus thehandle) slicing outwards.5. One other method is to place a pot of a medium sized plant on the pathof the telephone pole to soften/neutralise some of its effects.The above are some of the common methods used.Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 10/14/99 5:18:16 PM, Anonymous wrote:Dear SirMy main south facing doorover sees a telephone pole .The distance =between the poleand door is 10 feets .

Staff Cecil Lee Posted October 15, 1999 Staff Share Posted October 15, 1999 Dear Kapil,Thank you for your clarifications.To understand what I mentioned better, please go to this forum topic " Photo Tours of Interest (with Picture Attachments)Under this topic, click the first message posted " A picture showing circular steps radiating outwards ".This picture shows a typical `Ming Tang' formation where the semi-circle radiates outwards of the building. In your case, it should radiate outwards away from the main entrance door.For the metal pole you were mentioning; there are two ways of looking at it. Some FS practioners classify a tall thin structure as Wood element while others classify it as metal simply because the pole is made of metal.As for the colour of the carpet, can you let me know which direction your main entrance door is facing?Thanks in advance.Cecil Quote On 10/15/99 2:04:35 PM, Anonymous wrote:Dear Mr. Cecil,Thank you so much foryour advice.
