Dear Master Lee,
Thank you for your well thought analysis and explanation and brings me to another layer of enlightenment about the Water Classics consideration. Below are a few points that i would like to seek Master's further clarification.
1. To be specific, the distance 60m mentioned earlier is roughly the distance between the exit of the inner road to the main road and the rear of the house. If it were to measure from the nearer side of the main road to the rear of the house, it is approx. 30m. That means to say the width of the main road is roughly 30m and the width of the landscaping area and the canal together is approx. another 30m. So under this condition, is the T-junction still regarded as safe from the consideration of distance alone?
2. The canal at the rear of the house is indeed a waterway that is part of the landscaping feature. I was told that in general, Sha Qi from one side of the river will be dissolved before crossing over to reach the house on the other side. Is this applicable in this case?
3. Even I have yet to confirm the flow direction of canal, i am interested in the Water Classics that you had enlightened me. I have followed the link you provided and understand the trigrams water enters (in the 1st Heaven sequence) and exits (in the last Heaven sequence) the house must NOT be of the same element i.e. if water enters in S, so it should not exit in NW. Comparing to the example provided below, my understanding is that the house is facing S2/S3 so canal is at the N2/N3 of the house, the auspicious direction for the water exit is either W3/NW1 if the canal flows from left to right or E1 if the canal flows from right to left. In this case, is the auspicious direction NW1 contradict to NW inauspicious direction as mentioned in the link you provided? Pardon me if i have not understood this topic sufficiently.
Thank you & best regards
