In Feng Shui regular
shapes such as rectangle (which signifies growth) or square (which indicates a
solid stable base) are more auspicious than irregular shapes with lots of sharp
edges and missing corners.
Whether your house is
one level, two-storey, or a three-storey town house knowing its overall shape
is an important step in establishing its good and bad points.
The big Tai Chi of
your home is the entire square footage however each level is studied
separately.
Your ground floor is
most likely to have an irregular shape if you have had an extension built; if
you have built a porch or a conservatory built.
Any additional structure that has a roof and is attached to your main
home is considered a part of the home.
Missing corners* are
often the result of extensions and knowing their compass location is important
if you are to positively enhance your home.
*There
is some disagreement as to what constitutes a ‘missing’ corner. Generally when superimposing the Lo-Shu Grid
over the entire floor plan of each level if there is an entire sector missing,
or if a cut-out section covers more than one sector of the grid, it is said to
be missing.
The Eight Aspirations
Formula of Feng Shui divides the four primary and the four secondary sectors
around the compass. Whilst not part of
classical Feng Shui such as Landscape Formula or Flying Stars, it has been
incorporated into the mainstream practice as part of Neo (or new) Feng Shui for
the Modern World. It takes account of desires
and ambitions identified as important for the living of a full and abundant
life.
The Eight Aspirations
are Career (north), Education and Study (northeast), Health and Longevity
(east), Wealth (southeast), Fame and Recognition (south), Love and
Relationships (southwest), Family (west) and Heaven and Mentor (northwest.)
Take accurate compass
directions to identify the facing and sitting directions of your home. This is part of the Kua (Eight Mansions or
Eight Palaces) Formula. The next step is
to draw a separate floor plan for each level of your home and superimpose the
Lo-Shu Grid over it to highlight any potential missing corners.
Missing corners in
the Big Tai Chi means you will be unable to activate these areas for the
aspiration associated with it. However the
alternative is to activate the Small Tai Chi of one of your major rooms such as
the living room, dining room or bedroom depending on the aspiration you desire.
House hunting is a
very good time to consider the shape of a house. When you look at the written details and view
a property for the first time, have a look at the external surroundings to
establish whether there are any poison arrows pointing towards the front door. Establish if there is a bright hall both
outside and immediately inside the front door.
Then look around the outside of the property to see if it is fairly
regular in shape. Prevention is better than cure so beginning from a positive
viewpoint will benefit you in both the short and the long term.
Next time we will
look at the various compass locations and the effect missing corners can have
on each of the Eight Aspirations.
To the fulfillment of your dreams
