Full glass panel folding doors

[myfs_82924]

Dear Mr Cecil Lee
Thank you for providing such a comprehensive website. I really enjoy browsing it.
I have some doubts about my present home, hope you could help to answer them. Ever since we moved in to this house, we have been running into financial difficulties and trouble in our careers.
My main door is facing NE which is favourable to us. But, on the SE area, there is full glass panels of folding doors that has 2 & 3 flying stars. Since that area is dented inwards (look like a missing corner), therefore there is altogether 3 walls of folding doors.
My questions are:
1) Are all these glass panels folding doors consider a leak? How can we cure it?
2) Can we prevent the bad stars of flying into our home by using non-see through adhesive tapes to cover up all the glass panels of the folding doors? What about curtains, do they help? Or, which is the best way?
Thank you for your kind attention.
Regards
Lan GR

Dear Guek Rian,
Yes, it is good to try to look closely and if possible `fix' leaks before we even look at enhancements.
Frankly, it is always difficult for me to imagine what a layout seems to look like.
Would you be able to draw a sketch using any software and upload to the forum?
This is because, I hope you can do this so that it is this would help me to better understand your layout plan.
For example, the layout plan should include all rooms and toilet area and even roads around the house.
NE can be a double edged sword direction. Since, this location is also known as the devil's main door. And it is better to understand your layout.
Perhaps, you can also describe the external of the house.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Mr Cecil Lee
Thank you for your quick reply.
I am attaching a copy of my house layout for your kind reference. FYI, my hubby is kua 2 and I'm kua 8. We actually selected this house based on his 1st favourable direction. But somehow, it did not turn out well at all.
There is only a one-way street in front of our gate. The rest are surrounded by houses.
Many thank & regards

Dear Guek Rian,
Thank you for a sketch of your layout plan.
Yes, based on your intital sketch; your semi-di has a major leak due to the inauspicious Shapes and Forms at the ground level.
Especially due to the narrowing at the centre of the house and also the large stretch of glass panels on the side of the house.
How much tinting is on the glass panels.
Is there a drain behind the house.

This is only one consideration as Shapes and Forms is more important.

Cecil

Dear Mr Cecil Lee
Thank you for your reply.
It's indeed very sad to know that this is an inauspicious house. I have few doubts, hope you could help to enlighten me.
1) Why is it inauspicious to have a narrowing at the centre of the house?
2) Presently all the glass panels are clear and see-through type. Can the following help to cure?
i) tinted adhesive film (partially see-through) or non see-through adhesive film?
ii) day curtain (partially see-through) or night curtain (non see-through)?
iii) potted plants to shield the glass panels?
iv) Is there any other cures for covering up the glass panel folding doors?
3) The drain behind the house is flowing towards the front, please see Diagram 1.
4) Is fencing of the house consider as a "leak"? Please refer to Diagram 2.
We really hope some changes could be done so that we could carry on staying in this house peacefully without worrying our financial problems every day.
Thanks for your kind attention.

1) Why is it inauspicious to
have a narrowing at the centre
of the house?

Usually, `normal' layouts do not have a narrowing at the centre of the house. In many homes, it is always straight.
As a narrowing under Shapes and Forms is like a compression at the centre location. And this can be a cause of Sha Qi.
In addition, so many sliding doors at the centre, with or without opening them can disturb the qi flow between the front to the back of the house.

2) Presently all the glass
panels are clear and
see-through type. Can the
following help to cure?

The use of tinting is a double edged sword. Tinting at the wrong panels may further aggrivate the situation. And if it is an inauspicious location, it may bounce back twice the back luck.
Tinting, at the wrong glass panels (again at the wrong panels) may also create qi distrubance leading to Sha Qi.
It has to be done carefully.
From top view: for the missing areas are there a distinction between this e.g. floor tiles that show an outline or is the external simply cement screeding.

Quote

i) tinted adhesive film
(partially see-through) or non
see-through adhesive film?
ii) day curtain (partially
see-through) or night curtain
(non see-through)?

It has to be looked at carefully based on both Shapes and Forms / Flying Star / Ba Zi Feng Shui analysis

Quote

iii) potted plants to shield
the glass panels?

The potted plants could instead be used to outline the missing corners.

Quote

iv) Is there any other cures
for covering up the glass
panel folding doors?

Please refer to the above

3) The drain behind the house
is flowing towards the front,
please see Diagram 1.
4) Is fencing of the house
consider as a "leak"? Please
refer to Diagram 2.

Apologies, you may need to upload the files again. Avoid uploading large files e.g. in .bmp. But instead use .jpg format which is smaller. As we restrict too large a file upload and they will not pass thru.

Frankly, it is very difficult to provide advise of this nature by `remote' control.
Perhaps, you may seriously need to look at engaging a Feng Shui consultant instead.
As mentioned, there are so many things issues that cannot be covered and it is difficult to give you reliable advise on just Shapes and Forms Feng Shui only.
Please note that the above advise, is based on simply shapes and forms and have not even touched on Ba Zi, Ba Zi Feng Shui and Flying Star Feng Shui. Without the above, it is difficult to give proper advise.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Mr Cecil Lee
Thank you so much for all your generous advice. I am still unable to upload my attachment.
It is just a simple sketch showing my drain water flowing from the back to the front part of my house which pass by my main door from right to left and exit at the extreme left end.
We have been pondering to engage feng shui master to audit our house. However, we could not afford one at this moment due to our financial difficulties. We will definitely contact you when times are better.
Anyway, we are very grateful to all your advice. You certainly have great and good karma for being able to share so much with everyone.
Best of luck!
Regards
Guek Rian
