Dear Master Cecil:

I have learned a lot from the messages posted at this discussion forum. Nonetheless, in regard to several well known situations, I only know that they exert adverse Feng Shui effects on a house, but I do not know the reasonings behind them.

For example, if a post or the trunk of a tree looks like slicing into a window, a day curtain may help in blocking the threat. If a post or the trunk of a tree stands in front of the main entrance and looks like slicing into the door, it is a lot serious. I do not understand the reasoning behind the bad impact of a post/tree standing in front of the main entrance. Is it because the post/tree blocks the positive Qi from coming to the house? Or the post/tree symbolizes an obstacle to one's career? Or the post/tree harbors devil?

Another example is the bad effects of a bathroom at the center point, at or above the front door. Is it because that the bad Qi in the bathroom (where all the human waste goes) will spread all over the house? Or it is because positive Qi in the house goes down the drain each time we flush the toilet? Or it is because bathroom symbolizes something dirty and disgusting?

Would you kindly help in clarifying my questions? Thank you.

Regards,
Jen
