Dear Susan,

1. A rectangular shaped court-yard represents the Earth element.

2. Quite a coincidence that you had asked this interesting question.

Let me relate a past story. This is a true story. I had one client who had lived house similar to what you had mentioned i.e. with a rectangular court-yard.

Before he consulted me, he was in financial difficulties and further more had a serious car accident (nearly lost his and family's life) and lost money in his business.

3. Furthermore, the main entrance door of this house (with rectangular court-yard) faced north direction. (Later under Para 4, this was found not suitable to the breadwinner who is a "weak earth" person.

4. I was asked to analyse his house and I found the following:-

4.1 His Pillars of Destiny element is " Weak Earth ".

4.2 As mentioned under Para 3, his main door faces " North " (water element).

Since he is a weak earth person, although water is suppose to be his wealth BUT to a weak earth person IT BECOMES a financial burden to him.

4.3. I had thus asked him to change the door of this house to South (Fire) where Fire element will help his weak earth grow.

4.4. He had placed a tree in the court-yard and several plants.

This is considered highly `inauspicious'. Symbolism is important in Feng Shui and the tree with the resulting outline of the earth (rectangle) over it represented = Mandarin character for " Imprisonment ".

All these spelt bad news for the owner.

5. After, I had advised him and since the changes made by him; he has turned around all the early problems and I understand that he is doing well now.

In my opinion, I would strongly advise you not to do so or if you want to do any of these, do try to consult a competent FS practitioner to help you in this area.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
