Dear Master Cecil:
Which location of a staircase inside of house is a leakage? At the center point? Or in the center grid? Or right ahead of the main entrance? Thank you.
Regards,
Jen

Dear Jen,
For a staircase, the major considerations are:
1. Number of steps
2. Avoid having the steps face the main door. (Here, a partition or screen should be used).
3. A set of staircase, should where possible have a landing or two landings if the upstairs is high.
4. Preferably avoid a circular staircase, especially if it can be seen from the main door.
5. Where possible, each step should be `covered' up and not `see thru' i.e. planks placed on each step.
6. For the position of the stairs, where possible it should preferably hug or share an external wall.
7. Anything else, will have to be looked at on a case-by-case basis. And therefore `it depends' on the full layout of the home.
For your benefit, I had extracted a previous posting to this forum. It is good to do a search for staircase, if you want to find out more ... i.e. previous postings on this subject.

Dear Anon,
Introduction:
1. In Feng Shui, there are two traditional methods of determining the number of steps.
2. The first method is a 3 number combination. Where the first two steps are Auspicious but the last step is inauspicious.
METHOD 1 - THE THREE-STEP CYCLE
========
3. Thus under the `Three-steps formula' step No. 1 (Auspicious), Step No. 2 (Inauspicious) while Step No. 3 is considered inauspicious. Usually this 3rd step is known as the `death' step.
3.1 Thus:-
Following this method, one should be able to work out the number of steps:-
3.2 Auspicious steps are:-
1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20,
3.3 Inauspicious steps:-
No. 3 is the third step
No. 6 is the following third step
No. 9 is again the following third step
No. 12 is again the following third step...etc...
METHOD 2 - THE FOUR-STEP CYCLE
===============================
4. However, Method 1 should be used in combination with Method 2 below:-
4.1 What is the four-step cycle:-
Step 1: Auspicious
Step 2: Auspicious
Step 3: Inauspicious
Step 4: Inauspicious
4.2 How to calculate under this method:
Step 1 is Auspicious
Step 2 is Auspicious
Step 3 is inauspicious
Step 4 is also inauspicious
4.3 Next 4 steps:-
=================
Step 5 is auspicious
Step 6 is auspicious
Step 7 is inauspicous
Step 8 is inauspicious
4.4 Next 4 steps:-
=================
Step 9 is auspicious
Step 10 is auspicious
Step 11 is inauspicous
Step 12 is inauspicious
4.5 Next 4 steps:-
=================
Step 13 is auspicious
Step 14 is auspicious
Step 16 is inauspicous
Step 17 is inauspicious etc...
4.6 One can do similar calculations for 17 or more steps.....
5. After finding out the numbers for both Methods (1 and 2) we now derive the following sets of steps:-
5.1 Under Method 1: The Three-Step Method:-
1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19, 20, 22, 23, 25, 26
5.2 Under Method 2: The Four-Step Method:-
1, 2, 5, 6, 9, 10, 13, 14, 17, 18, 21, 22, 25, 26
Thus we have to eliminate the following numbers which are considered inauspicious in either one of the above methods:-
Number 4 - inauspicious under method 2
Number 6 - inauspicious under method 2
Number 8 - inauspicious under method 2
Number 11 - inauspicious under method 2
Number 16 - inauspicious under method 2
Number 18 - inauspicious under method 1
Number 19 - inauspicous under method 2
Number 20 - inauspicous under method 2
5.3 Thus the final result are the following numbers:-
1,2, 5, 10, 13, 14, 17, 22, 25, 26 etc...
6. Steps Landing
Yes, the number of steps is important.
Each step including the steps at landing is included as a count.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
