Dear Kewpie,

For an `overall' good house:-

1. Environmental Scanning i.e. the landscape;particulary - the site and the home is very important.

More than half the battle is `won' if a house has excellent Shapes and Form.

2. Having excellent Shapes and form could also be supplemented by `protecting' areas of vunerability:

2.1 The main door.

This is considered the mouth of the house. One should protect it `at all costs'. If a poison arrow is aimed at the main entrance door, do not sit around for it to be left unprotected. Try to `protect' it.

There are several examples of `how-to' that can be found on this site.

2.2 The windows.

It is equally important for the windows to be protected from poison arrows especially, single lamp posts or again a sharp corner of a neighbours home etc...

3. Where possible, the house should have good frontage (like the bird flying freely in front). And the back, with a solid protection e.g. a hill or man made wall.

4. The house should preferably do not have missing corners.

5. Internal of the house, do take note of Qi not flowing directly from the main door out to the back in a straight line.

Internally, where possible one side of the toilet wall should occupy an external wall. Here, there is no chance for it to be located at the centre of the house.

Avoid having the toilet above the main door or at the side of the house.

The numberous examples on Shapes and Form can go on and on....

6. Generally, as a guide, even if the house has EXCELLENT Feng Shui, one should look at the Eight House Theory to see how suitable this `EXCELLENT' house is for each of us.

An `EXCELLENT' house can be great or suitable for some persons but may not be suitable for others.

For example, if the death or disaster intangible force is at the main entrance and the bedroom is equally in a bad sector, even if it is an EXCELLENT house, it does not necessary mean it will be great for this occupant.

However, it is better this way than to have a `bad' house plus incompatible house.

7. Next, use the Flying Star to check for imbalances at various sectors of the house and if necessary neutralise them.

If water or mountain star is found, one can also activate it to enhance the house.

8. Pillars of Destiny, e.g. element strength is used to fine tune the analysis and to determine if water positions can be used.

For example, it is not advisable for a weak fire or strong fire person to have water positions in the house.

It would be more important to have the main entrance face an auspicious direction for the breadwinner.

If the breadwinner and the spouse earn the same level of pay, we still usually consider the breadwinner (first).

However, it would indeed be a plus point to have the spouse have the main entrance face an auspicious direction. (It would be `nice to have').

Yes, Red is the most Yang of all the Yang colours.

In general, if we talk about this type of barn with the door facing South, we can classify it as a Fire element house.

However, if the elements in the house are properly balanced, quarrels can be neutralised. Flying Star theory would be useful here to locate imbalances and neutralise the sectors.

Particular attention, thus should be spent analysing the South sector. But, this should not be too much a worry.
