Chinese New Year is around the corner and the first thing that comes into my mind when I think of Chinese New Year is Feng Shui. Just recently, I thought of selling my current house and I am considering of buying a new one. I consulted a Feng Shui Master to guide me on my purchase. For some of you who still do not know who a Feng Shui Master is, he is someone who practices Feng Shui, he is sometimes called geomancer. The word Feng Shui on the other hand is literally translated as wind and water. Feng Shui is a methodology or practice used in assessing the qualities of a location or property and its effects on the occupants. It is usually known as Chinese geomancy.  Anyway, during the process of my consultation with a Feng Shui Master, I was surprised on some of his advices regarding the location, position and as well as the design of both the interior and exterior of my future house. I like to share some of his Feng Shui advices.

• When buying a house, try to know the history of the property. Avoid properties that were once a site of a funeral parlor, cemetery, slaughterhouse, hospital, temple, church, or police station. According to the Feng Shui Master, the negative vibes of these properties still abound and will continue to haunt the new occupants even if it’s renovated.

• The house should not be built on top of an abandoned “water well”. It is worse if the well was filled-up by garbage or other filling materials like debris from earthquake or shaken building where many people have died. If this is so, the occupants of the property will suffer from recurring sickness, accidents, and misfortune.

•  The main entrance or the main gate of the property could also affect the health and fortune of the occupants. Your main door should not face a funeral parlor, cemetery, slaughterhouse, hospital, temple, church or police station since these can cause sickness, incidence of death and strange happenings to the occupants. Large electric post, water tank and even trees should not block or partly block your main entrance since this will drive away the positive energy from entering the house.

• Your main gate/entrance should not be directly in-line with your neighbor’s main gate/entrance. The house with a larger entrance/gate will suck in more fortune from the street than the one with a smaller entrance.

These are just some of the Feng Shui wisdom I gathered during my consultation with the geomancer. I know some of you do not believe in these stuffs and some of you might find this funny. Nevertheless, I hope you find this post interesting.
