Hi Cecil,

I am finally getting out of this Feng Shui nightmare house. I have found a house that I feel very comfortable in and I am considering moving into it.

You said in many messages that if you have good form Feng Shui, the battle is half won. I've carefully looked over the house and made sure that the there are no missing sections. The toilet, stove and sink are not in the center of the house and the stove and toilet is not near the entrance, the toilet is not facing the dining room or the master bedroom or against the same wall as the headboard of the bed.

I know no matter what, I'm sure any place will be an improvement over the house that I'm in now. But as you said, good Form Feng Shui is a very illusive thing, so I have a lot of questions I would like your opinion on.

1. The house is situated on a side of a very steep hill over looking the city. The road goes uphill from right to left so the house on the left side is sits higher on the hill than the house on the right. My question is would that be a problem, since according to good Feng Shui, the dragon, on the right should be higher than the tiger on the left and this house is the opposite. If it is bad Feng Shui, is there a remedy for it?

2. The back of the house has the backing of the hill and the front has a view of the city. There is a lone telephone pole cutting through the front door from across the street about two hundred feet away. I don't know if it poses a threat in this case, since the house sits so much higher on the hill then the pole that only the top few feet of the pole is visible from the door. Also all the houses in the front are way below this one so there would be a clear view except that there are tree branches from both the left and right that covers the view slightly from the front door. They're over fifty feet away and they are not directly in front of the door, so would they still be considered a threat?

3. All the trees are far away from the house so the house has a lot of light, but there is a tree in the North side that is about five feet from the house. Although it's tall, it doesn't keep the sun out, so would that be OK?

4. I'm still confused as what entrance would be good for me. In the eight house theory. The main entrance of this house would be very bad for me since it is in the South East, and my Kua is Ken, but it is great for my boyfriend since his qua is Li, but that is based on the element of the year of our birth only and not the true element.

Now even though the main entrance is in the south East, there are two entrances in the back, one in the North, one in the West. Since we are both weak water:

1. Would the back entrances be better for us?

2. Would it remedy the problem for me if I just never use the South East entrance?

3. When you analyze an area, in relationship to your pillars of Destiny, do you consider the imbalances in the chart? For instance, my boyfriend has 0% water, so I would think an entrance in the North or North West is good, but he has 60% earth, so maybe a South East entrance would be better to control the over balance of earth.

Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Shui May
