Feng shui - House and Road

There is a direct relationship between houses and the roads that connect them. It has a significant effect on the well-being and the fortunes of the occupants of those houses. This is caused by Ch'i the all-encompassing life-giving force that permeates the universe. If allowed to flow freely, the Ch'i energy is positive. If allowed to stagnate, this energy becomes negative. It becomes very harmful when channelled too quickly along straight paths.

The Situation : When a house faces a T-junction, it is like a gun being pointed straight at the house. The T-junction acts like a funnel drawing negative energies towards the house.

The Effects : The occupants of such a house could suffer from poor health and may be accident-prone.

The Solution : If possible, reposition the front door so that it does not directly face the road running up to it. If this is not possible, a low fence or a hedge should be built with a gate as a barrier to the negative energies. Alternatively, a mirror can be placed above the door to deflect the negative energies away from the house.

The Situation : Both male and female occupants of this house could suffer ill-health and will bicker over financial matters.

The Effects : There will be a tendency towards minor accidents around the house.

The Situation :A house directly faces a tall narrow gap between the houses on the opposite side of the road.

The Effects : The occupants of this house are accident-prone. Lethargy and poor health are some other ill effects that result from this situation.
