Expert: Judy Morris Date: 1/31/2008 Subject: Building a water feature, remembered feng shui
Question I've been so distracted by the landscaping project that I totally forgot about making sure that I wasn't going to mess things up. My grandmother, with whom I live, is my main concern. I would like to create a Ming Tang area in the front, and have already started on a water feature. I'm not sure what year the house was built in, although she thinks 1968. Regardless, the house faces 182 south, so depression wouldn't seem to be such a problem for her. I do remember (I calculated this a couple of years ago, and don't have the number off hand, but will provide it when she gets the deed from the bank, to find the date of the house) that, based on her Kua number, the house was not facing a good direction for her. She's had a problematic life all along, but this house has practically destroyed her (as well as itself, and me in the process).
I studied Feng Shui for about a year and a half, and was successful in creating an increase in wealth and clients through it (although I activated too many areas, and it drove me crazy), but have been away from the subject for a while now, other than the basic form school stuff, and an occasional three legged toad. But when I was studying it, and when I had a somewhat decent understanding of it (outside of the flying stars, e.g.. the real deal), I remember that there was nothing that could be done with this house to improve it.
She briefly considered a move, but then rejected, based on a lot of complications, mostly financial (which she doesn't believe that the proper house will enhance).
So, my question is basically going to be about an already built water feature, that's just about to get water and a pump added to it. I would like to add a small pool in front of the front door, with a fountain in the middle, and was considering connecting the two with a stream. I'm afraid that this might be sounding a bit on the water dragon-ish side, and if so, please, advise me otherwise.
However, I've also read that for a south facing house, the direction that the waterfall is located in (East 140) is auspicious, as long as the water is flowing from the left to the right, when looking out the door.
If there are any answers you would be able to provide prior to receipt of the house date, I would appreciate it. Otherwise, I'll be back in a couple of days with the house date.
Answer Hi David,
Thanks for your question.
If the house was built during period 6 (1964-1984) the water feature can work in the south gua but it would be very beneficial in the west and northwest guas. It is very important to keep water away from the southeast and southwest.
I am looking forward to confirmation of the house date.
