Feng Shui Tips for Your Home

Marriage conditions

Q: We are two unmarried women in our late 30s, and believe the fixed wall air conditioner in the Ba-Gua marriage area of our lounge room affects our marriage hopes. Our home, which we love, also lacks a Prosperity Point.

There’s no doubt the air conditioner detracts from romantic energy in the marriage area —the right-hand corner diagonally opposite your main lounge entrance. Could you place a tall, good-quality artificial or real plant here in a red-and-white pot? Your second door at the fame area discourages new contacts. Hang a wind chime or crystal here on ribbons in the correct cosmic fame colors of red, green and yellow. Your sketch shows a fireplace at the prosperity point —the left-hand corner diagonally opposite your main lounge entrance. Hang a mirror above the mantelpiece to stop money energy vanishing up the chimney.

Mirror mix-up

Q: My sister-in-law says the rectangular mirrors I have placed on the hall side of the toilet door and at the top of the stairs should be oval or round. I have no dawn a curve around all the mirror corners with a permanent red felt pen. Will this do?

It would be best to round off the mirror corners. Feng Shui says most sharp corners give off “sha qi” or bad energy. In the Orient, people and institutions go to great lengths to avoid them.

Earth home

Q: We intend building apart earth-covered home in a hillside. The front of the house is conventional but the back section, with bedrooms, games room, laundry and bathroom, is earth-covered—with light from solar tubes. There are two darns below the house. Have you any ideas how to make our home Feng Shui friendly?

Feng shui always says to cooperate with nature, rather than try to dominate it as Westerners often do. From this viewpoint, your earth-covered home sounds most harmonious with its surrounds. Room placement is good, but you must move any lone front bedrooms to the back of the house. Place a large mirror on the rear wall to act as an artificial back door and prevent energy blocks. Use pastel colors inside. In the back section, pale blue, turquoise or lemon would be excellent Feng Shui.
