As mentioned, previously, in Singapore and in the 1970's one of the most popular trees planted in a landed property garden is the mango tree.

In the past, individual landed properties range from:  7,000sq. ft to 12,000 sq. ft for bungalows, half that for semi-detached homes and 1/3 to 1/4 of the above for a terrace homes.

It is very common for many home owners to plant a mango or even several mango trees on the grounds of their landed property.

In this example, as the mango tree was planted outside of the property; and because the large part of the floor area was covered by concrete; this would account for this tree to be smaller than what it can grow further.

But do take a look at this 40+ years old mango tree. One can see that such a tree has lots of leaves that will result in making the ground below the tree "dark" or yin. As it casts a dark shadow; below it.


Do a SEARCH on the top left frame of this forum for "Mango Tree" and there are lots of other resources:

1. Info extracted from a past forum message:-

10. Under the Yin and Yang concept, anything that is even number e.g. 2, 4, 6, 8 etc.. is considered yin. While 1, 3, 5, 7 or any odd number is considered yang.
---
It follows the same principles for all even numbers are considered (yin) and all odd numbers are considered (yang).
This means that 2, 4, 6, 8 are yin, and 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 are yang.
This theory is applied to all I-Ching, Flying Star and anything to do with number theory.
Warmest Regards

2. A proper Flying Star chart can detect further clues as to how yin a specific sector is. Thus for example: if the bomb shelter storeroom in the earlier example has concentrations of too many YIN flying star numbers like MS#2 MS#4 and Base#2 then, this sector is considered too yin. And have a higher chance of getting hijacked by yin spirits.

3. My earlier resources written around 1997 on Devil's gate can be found under this link:-http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-gate.htm

The revised position of the pooja (altar).

It is now sitting SE facing NW instead.

1. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, there are two considerations, here:-
These are some considerations:-

1. Yin and Yang concept and Bright Hall effect

1.1 Often when someone plants a tree e.g. a fruit tree like the mango tree. If planted in the ground, such a tree often matures and can grow pretty large by the time they reach 8 years or more.

1.2 In the past, especially in the 1970's where many who purchased a landed property will have a proper sized garden and car porch. As such often we see a mango tree planted in the compound of the house.

1.3 Please take note that in general planting a tree is not a bad idea. But, from these photos one can see that a mango tree can grow pretty large: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=19&mid=3969&new=

1.4 What is more of a concern is that the area surrounding the tree trunk if not properly trimmed or if the tree is huge; can cast a dark shadow below. Making the area too Yin.

1.5 One therefore can no longer enjoy a BRIGHT HALL effect especially if the entire frontage is exceptionally darken by the leave foliage of such a tree.

1.6 Thus if there no longer a bright hall effect; it is harder for qi to collect and meander into the home.

1.7 This is why nowadays, many Singapore terrace homes and even semi-detached and bungalows opted for low foliage density trees such as the Lipstick palm (Maharaja tree). As most palm trees often have fewer leaves and the lipstick palm being red is considered auspicious and it grows in a cluster both tall and thin with a fan shaped foliage that does not cast as much dark shadows as a well rounded mango or rambutan or similar type of trees.

2. Devil's Gate: Devil's front door (portal for them to enter this world) and out.

2.1 Even under Indian Vastu principles: it is best not to place figurines of Hindu gods in a North-East and South-West alignment. This is because, there is a concern of or similar to the Devil's gate.

2.2 Thus, for Indian homes that install a Pooja, it is strongly recommended to avoid placing the altar facing NE and sitting SW. The concern is that inadvertenly the figurines or the pooja site can become a portal for the movement in and out of such spirits.

2.3 More so, as the pooja room (prayer) room is often located in a storeroom for Singapore Indians. And if we do read many stories about "Western" hauntings; often the spirits would hide in a storeroom as it is rather dark and cold. Talk about cold spots, here.

3. In a past link, I also mentioned; to be extra careful that the tree trunk does not slice into the living room window(s) or sliding panels or the main entrance door of a home. Please read more from an earlier posting.


Do a search and one can find old resources on having tree(s) in a compound:-

1.1. Yin and Yang concept

Often, the living room is located at the frontage of the home. And good trimming or landscaping is good, here so that the frontage does not get cluttered.

In Singapore, especially in the early 1970's many landed property homes often have a mango tree at e.g. the corner or the frontage of the home. Some have rambutan trees.

What happen is that when a mango tree matures, it can grow quite tall and can cast a large "shadow" below, making the frontage very yin (or dark).  Some feel that it makes the home "gloomy" as too much shade literally hides the frontage of the home.

Nowadays, in Singapore, it is rare for new developments (landed properties) to have a mango tree. Especially since the external floor area is much reduced and no space for such a tree or trees.

1.2 Tree trunks

Be careful of the trunk of a tree slicing towards one's main entrance area or slicing towards the windows of a bedroom or living room. This is considered as a poison arrow.

Make sure that the guava tree's trunk does not directly slice the main door. To test, stand inside the main entrance and look out of it directly.
