Semi-circular carpet cure

[Sejanus Seow]

Hi Cecil,
I just read through some of the cures you suggested for neutralizing shar chi. Is there a picture you have on your website of a semi-circular carpet and if I were using it for my main door which is south facing, does it have to be a particular colour or size? Also, could you explain more on the "triangular effect" of placing two plants at the side of main door. If possible, I would prefer not to display the ba kua. For the fire hydrant, I think your "out of sight" advice can be applied there by planting a few plants.
(This is with regards to my previous question on "Poison Arrows at Main Door").
Thanks,
Sejanus.

Please refer to the above link. As the carpet is placed outside the house, you can use a red carpet at the south facing side.
Generally, red is considered an auspicious color. While blue (to avoid) would clash with that sector.

Also, could you

Here, the original idea of the triangle effect is to neutralise e.g. a metallic pole e.g. a flag pole or a street lamp that is perpendicular or tangent to the main entrance (mid-point).

Two flag poles (i.e. plants can be used) to form a triangle i.e. if one can imagine, the three objects form a triangle.
If one looks carefully, from top down view, it looks like a triangle from the air. Here, the triangle faces outwards of the house.

Yes, you can do this. But avoid, tall thin trees that act as a poison arrow. Where possible the tree trunk is low and mostly, covered with leaves.
Warmest Regards,

This trend of placing a semi-circular carpet outside the main entrance door is still valid today.

The only thing for the lay person is what colour.
