For ordinary families buying a house, it is very likely that all their savings will be spent, and even years of mortgage loans will be incurred. Moreover, housing is closely related to future life. In addition to factors such as building quality, price, environment, and transportation, the quality of feng shui also needs to be considered. If you are not careful and encounter an inauspicious house once, bringing disasters to your family, it will be too late to regret! Today, I will talk about several feng shui issues that need special attention when buying a house.
Pay attention to missing corners in the house type.
Many houses purchased by modern people are uncompleted off-plan houses. The house type diagram is the main basis for judging the house structure and feng shui quality. If the house type diagram is not rectangular or square as a whole but is in an L shape, knife handle shape, convex shape, or concave shape, it means there are missing corners in the house. In apartment building residences, this situation is relatively common. In feng shui, only when all eight directions are complete can family fortune be complete. And if the missing corner exceeds a certain area, it belongs to a defective residence. Especially the northwest corner and southwest corner. These two directions are the “heaven and earth” positions in feng shui, representing the male and female owners of the family. Once there is a deficiency, the male and female owners will be harmed, which is very inauspicious.
The floor should not be too high or too low.
The floor of modern homes is a very strong spatial concept, so the floor has a great effect on feng shui. Choosing the right one can also make family fortune smooth. For too high floors, although lighting is not a problem, yang qi is abundant, not in contact with the ground, and greatly affected by the wind. It is easy for the aura to be unstable. It belongs to the “aloof and lofty evil spirit” in feng shui, which will make people arrogant, have poor social and marital relationships, children stay away, and have unstable careers. Too low floors often have narrow and blocked views, heavy oppression, and are easily affected by outdoor evil spirits. Some also have poor lighting and heavy moisture, which will cause many disadvantages to the health and wealth of occupants. Therefore, when buying a house, don’t choose a floor that is too high or too low.
Pay attention to the elevator location.
Nowadays, high-rise residences all have elevators. Elevators are made of metal and are constantly moving up and down, constituting “flowing metal” in feng shui. Generally speaking, it is not auspicious. If the entrance door of a residence is facing the elevator door, the constantly opening and closing elevator door is like a pair of scissors, making people living inside bear the danger of swords and flowing metal. Some buildings, in order to save space, place the entrance door close to the elevator. Although it is not as impactful as facing the elevator directly, it will also have a very heavy adverse impact on family members. Therefore, when buying a house, you must pay attention to the location of the elevator.
Pay attention to the locations of the kitchen and toilet.
The kitchen and toilet are the key points of yang house feng shui. In Yi Li (Book of Changes principles), the five elements of the kitchen belong to fire and the five elements of the toilet belong to water. As the saying goes, “Water and fire are merciless.” Feng shui that brings disasters to family members is often caused by improper locations of the kitchen and toilet. First of all, the kitchen and toilet cannot be in the center of the residence or in the four cardinal directions of south, north, east, and west. This will increase the influence range of water and fire qi and make the home restless. Secondly, as the most noble northwest “Qian direction” in the home, it cannot be polluted by the water and fire qi of the kitchen and toilet.
Pay attention to the entrance door.
In feng shui, it is emphasized that auspicious things should be seen as soon as one enters the gate. If one sees the doors of the toilet, kitchen, bedroom, or balcony as soon as one enters the gate, these are all not in line with feng shui principles. Of course, these problems can be solved by setting up a foyer. However, due to the generally small size of current house types, some families are not very convenient to set up a foyer. When buying a house, special attention should be paid to these issues.
