Please see sample sketch illustration:

1. In the sketch, one can find a lone (single) lamp post directly outside of the main door.

2. A single (lone) lamp post is symbolic of a `butter knife' e.g. the tall thin lamp post symbolises a knife that seems to slice into the house (via the main entrance).

3. Thus a house will be under `threat if a lone lamp post either slice thru the main door or a window in a house.

4. A REAL threat exists if (please refer to the attached example) a lamp post is between markings A to B of the main door (range).

Recently Wasis, posted `an article' about the `evil eye'. In fact, the centrepoint of the home is where all the intangible forces of (invisible) qi congregate.

Here, many Feng Shui practitioners are not infavour of toilets at True compass directions such as North O degrees, NE 45 degrees etc...

It is believed that all these forces congregate at the centrepoint of the house. Thus, it is best that this location is of clear space.

In the I-Ching or the Book of I-ching, water represents difficulty and; symbolically, water at the centrepoint of the home suggest `difficult' times or difficulties for the owners.

Therefore, it is not as simplistic as saying that because the toilet or a toilet bowl at this location means that we are flushing water. But, this can be perhaps a `means' of illustrating that it is bad to have water at the centrepoint of the house.

But, be aware that, I have always emphasised that in many cases: for problems to arise, it is often a collective set of major problems that compound the problem.

Thus, a toilet at the centrepoint of the house is like one having a `fractured' arm. But if further more; if the house does not fit us; plus some other major problems; then it can translate to the equivalent of one having an amputated leg or legs.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
