Josie from Panama has got a feng shui question for you.

Hi,
First, please forgive me for my english, is not good because I am french.

My question is : I have a nice land on a island. We want to build a house this year and the best place to built it is front the sea. We have a choice to do it in E3 (110°) or SE1 (117°).
My gua is 6 and my husband gua is 6.

I like the SE1 (117°) because is the best view to the sea, but the chart is string pearls, I don't know if is realy bad and Has the 8 M on the front 8W on back, (reverse chart)
the chart is this one : 765 876 432 ( facing IS 876)
321 987 654
543 198 219

My land has Sea view with some trees on the front and trees on back.
So I don't know if is very bad or if we can work with it.
IF we choose SE1 our bedroom will be in 654. My husband office in 198 and 543.

Somebody can help me please ?
Josie

should face south(158 to 202) and the door should open on the south. SE and E should plant trees

Thank for your answer. It is not possible to choose S (158 to 202) in this case the house will be with the side in front the ocean and the view will be to the trees. Is not logical to have a ocean front and put the house looking at the trees and the land beside us.

My question was which one is the best E3 or SE1.

best regards
Josie

This is what we call liufa feng shui. you can check the website at http://www.fengshui-liufa.com
There are two schools of thought. Period 8 Di Gua (Earth Gua) started from 1996 to 2016. Period 8 Tian Yun(Heaven luck) started from 2004 to 2023. Period 8 is yin gua when you fly, you should fly reverser.
9 4 2
1 8 6
5 3 7


In period 8, you can open the door at S2, w2, NW1, NE3. Only doors opened at any four of the direction could attract wealth, The other direction should not open door.

Your landscape is not in line with period 8 requirement. As you said it is not logical to have the ocean at the side, but your landscape does not conform with the period 8 requirement. Ask the Liufa master, they will tell you. other master might have different opinion.

Hi Josie,

Seeing you are talking about Flying Stars, I will make my comments accordingly.

By all means, build your dream house facing SE1 because you like it most, human desire is an important factor in Feng Shui..

You can take care of the “ a continuous string of pearls” with an entry at the back to match up with the timely 8W and a low garden wall at the front to match up with the timely 8M without blocking the water view. A reverse house needs physical support for the stars in the microenvironment and that would give you an opportunity to create the right form and configurations from the formless Gua Qi stars.

Your bedroom can be handled with some Water Wuxing Jiehua and your husband’s office is not too bad, he has the timely water star there and also the 3,8 combination (influence of adjacent palace in term of the water stars that influence wealth) makes for Early Heaven Wood, and that is good for business growth.

The concern I have as a Feng Shui architect is the actual planning itself, if you do a qi flow study of the design, there is not enough ju qi (assembled qi) areas in the house to ju qing (assembled feelings and affections) and you are not taking full advantage of a wonderful site, for example, blocking off the corners will miss an opportunity to give you a panoramic view of the water.

Also, if you study the Wuxing of the form of the house, overall it is Wood because it is rectangular in shape, the rounded corners are considered Metal and Metal will chop Wood, so I would seriously think about keeping the shape simple and regular to make it more Yadan (elegantly simple).

Because of the “continuous string of pearls” you will need a more open plan internally and not blocking up the qi flow from one side of the house to another. All the palaces need to be linked up as much as possible because the numbers do that to make the “continuous string”.

Regards,

Howard Choy
