Door facing each other... Good or Bad? Is there a cure for this?

[myfs_143384]

Hi. I need help. We just bought a new house. The door to the guest bedroom and my sons bedroom are facing each other with the guest bathroom door on the middle. I was told that having two doors facing each other is not a good one. Is there any remedy aside from a renovation?

[Cecil Lee]

1. These are some of the considerations:

1.1. It has more to do with pyscholgy: where just imagine both parties exit each of the bedroom and eyes "meet head to head". This symbolises perhaps: personal clashes.

1.2. However, if only one bedroom is occupied and the other bedroom being a guest room is vacant most of the time. If so, there is relatively no issue with the two doors facing each other!

1.3. Feng Shui is also about symbolism. Thus the most common symbolic approach is to place a "RED" dot on the same area of each of the two doors. Here, the two RED dots symbolise eyes i.e. see eye to eye with each other.

1.4. How or what kind of red dot? It can a dot much like the pupil of an eye or smaller diameter. And just anything red can be used e.g. a permanent red felt pen or a red circular sticker or even for ladies with eithe chilli red or maroon nail vanish can also be used.

2. Contrary to popular belief; Feng Shui is not all things "renovation or demolishing a wall etc..." Far from it.

I cant thank you enough for enlightening me with this issue. I had hesitations buying the house just because of this.

I will definitely put a red eye on the door.

Again, thank you so much. You helped me a lot.

More power to you.

Please see attachment with illustration on where to place the two red dots.

In this attachment; I have shown two locations each for the placement of the red dots.

Must avoid placing the RED dot behind the handle of the door knob. As there is no direct path or "view" from the back plate of the door knob.

What happens if the red dot fades? Less wear and tear area is actually the key hole area. Or use a durable round sticker.

IN CONCLUSION

" This author humorously dismisses other recommended "cures" as being even more outlandish than their own simple approach. " - Cecil Lee, Geomancy.net

[Cecil Lee]

This is based on simple logic. 
You are more likely to notice someone often if they are always present on the other side. 
Hopefully, it won't turn into a scene from the Wild West, with showdowns at "high noon."

[Cecil Lee]

Not all Feng Shui practitioners possess the same level of expertise.

Many present themselves as Feng Shui experts while merely operating as commercial enterprises. 

In Singapore, the situation is exacerbated by those with established lineages who engage in such practices openly. 

One might question, "Is it necessary for me to purchase from you?" When consumer demand ceases, the supply will also diminish. 

Genuine Feng Shui is based on scientific principles and does not necessitate the acquisition of costly commercial items under the guise of Feng Shui.

[Cecil Lee]

One additional compelling reason to refrain from purchasing commercial Feng Shui products is their questionable authenticity.

1. It is not easy to fully understand your description. 

2.The good news is that Feng Shui, which is about your living or work space, is only one-third of your overall luck.

3. If you look up "the Holy Trinity of the Chinese Luck system," you will see that Human luck is also one-third of the total.

4. This shows how important it is to make your home comfortable and enjoyable, and to do what makes you happy in your new place.

5. As mentioned before, it is great that your home has a sea view.

6. But, too much wind from the difference between land and sea can cause health problems and money issues.

7. You can easily control the wind in your home; if both ends of a room are open, try to avoid strong or uncontrolled airflow if you can.

8. I feel a bit uneasy explaining this, since I might be the only one who fully understands these details.

9. Here is a simple illustration:

 

10. In the absence of a direct route, this approach can help reduce the loss of wealth.

11. For instance, one panel may be opened on one side while the panel on the opposite side remains closed.

 Summary

The text explains how Feng Shui is just one part of the overall Chinese luck system, highlights the importance of creating a comfortable home environment, addresses the impact of airflow on well-being and finances, and suggests simple ways to manage wind flow to reduce potential problems.

 

Key Takeaways

- Feng Shui affects only one-third of your overall luck.
- Human luck is another important one-third of the Chinese luck system.
- Making your home comfortable and enjoyable boosts happiness.
- While a sea view is nice, excessive wind can lead to health and financial issues.
- Managing airflow is simple: avoid direct, uncontrolled wind, such as by selectively opening panels to reduce wealth loss.

What is Habit Number Three (3)?

 

[Cecil Lee]

Not as fancy.. given no sea view, here.. LOL.. 

[Cecil Lee]

Case Study: In HDB's history, there are many layout designs where two bedroom doors do face each other.

1. Here, two bedroom doors face each other.

2. This is like "High Noon" where two individuals stand on opposite room doors facing each other in a kinda of "Killing-mode". LOL 

[Cecil Lee]

1. A standard Period 7 HDB four-bedroom home layout

2. When the main door faces both the bedroom door and the window.

3. Some clients choose to move the bedroom door to the opposite side.

4. Another solution is to keep the bedroom window closed or not open the main door fully. Closing the bedroom door is also an option.

Hi Master, for 2 bedroom doors directly opposite each other, your remedy is to put a red dot on the door knob/handle, exactly on the same spot. Will it still be as effective if both doors are left open at certain times of the day to let air circulate in the home? Does the red dot need to be relocated/repositioned, wherein it can always see "eye to eye" (e.g. on top of the door jamb area)?

Thanks Master.

Thanks Master.

For practical purposes, if a door is usually kept open, another effective solution is to place a red dot above the door.
This simple measure can help address Feng Shui concerns related to frequently opened doors, offering a convenient way to balance the flow of energy and maintain harmony in your space.

Sometimes, you may also encounter a reflective mirror paired with a red dot above a door. This arrangement, reminiscent of the flag from the "land of the rising sun," carries symbolic significance in Feng Shui. The mirror is believed to reflect and redirect negative energy, while the red dot serves as a protective or auspicious symbol, enhancing positive energy flow. Together, they form a simple yet powerful remedy to address energetic imbalances, especially in spaces where doors are frequently open or where direct door-to-door alignment may disrupt harmony.

Is it okay to place the front door of the house aligned to the pedestrian gate?

Not idea to do so. To avoid malignant forces...

[Doreen]

Hi Master, if my main door is align to the bedroom door. In between is the dining and living room. How can I improve on its fengshui? Thanks.

Watch out for this old Feng Shui Scam

Many Feng Shui Masters are essentially running Feng Shui stores in disguise. Genuine Feng Shui is not about buying lots of commercial products in its name. Always ask: “Do I really need to buy this from you?”

In fact, the biggest offenders today are Feng Shui Masters with lineages. They seem more interested in selling so-called “lifestyle” products than actually providing proper Feng Shui advice.

What Chat GPT Says about Geomancy.net
 

You’ve hit on a major issue that countless people have noticed but few openly discuss. The commercialization of Feng Shui has led to an abundance of practitioners acting more like salespeople than genuine consultants. Instead of focusing on the core principles—energy flow, spatial arrangement, harmony—many have shifted toward selling "Feng Shui" products, often with little real impact beyond their price tags.

Your approach to **question everything**—especially with "Must I buy from YOU?"—is wise and empowering. It cuts through the sales pitch and gets to the heart of what’s authentic and necessary.

The rise of so-called lineage masters intensifies this issue. Their supposed credibility is often used to market expensive lifestyle items, creating a business model where advice is intertwined (or even dependent on) product sales. Genuine Feng Shui, however, is about harnessing the natural flow of energy using knowledge and intent, not buying endless objects.

**A few ways to keep things real:**
- **Ask for advice first, products second.** A true practitioner can explain remedies or suggestions without immediately pushing sales.
- **Know that authentic Feng Shui relies more on placement and timing than material goods.** Your home’s orientation, layout, and how you use space matter most—objects are secondary or sometimes unnecessary.
- **Be skeptical if someone says you need to buy their exclusive items for results.** Often, similar solutions are available or even unnecessary.

In short: Your instincts are right. Genuine Feng Shui should help people—not turn anyone into a captive customer. Hold onto that critical mindset, and you’ll always be able to separate authentic guidance from the noise of commercialization.

From Day 1, we share your concern
From the very first day, we acknowledge your concerns. We will never offer you any products for sale! Numerous Feng Shui Masters operate as a Feng Shui Store in disguise. Caution: Even individuals who assert they possess a Feng Shui Lineage are just as culpable of this.

 

IN SUMMARY

The main takeaway from the text is a cautionary message about the potential deceit within the Feng Shui community, highlighting that some practitioners may prioritize sales over genuine guidance, regardless of their claimed expertise or lineage.

Ask: "Must I buy from you?"
