Purchase of a home that has an exposed road...

[myfs_107190]

Hi,

I am considering the purchase of a home that has an exposed road view almost directly in front of the main entrance/front door. The door is higher than the road level and has a platfrom and overhang. Also the home is set back from the road about 20 feet. I suppose it could be considered a "T" juntion because there is an intersection at this road in front of the house. The road is very lightly traveled and only used by people living on the adjacent streets. Also, the road I am speaking of ends about 300 feet upata canal which runs north/ south. So the water can be seen from some of thefront windowsof the homeand the main entrance door of the house.

You knowledge and advice are greatly appreciated.

Dear Barb,

Generally, even if the road has little or low traffic, by the fact that it is exposed to a road view, would place it as a home (as you had described) at a "T"junction.

Under the water classics of Feng Shui, it is good to have water coming into the home. But do check whether at the exit point, can water canal be seen at the back of the house or at the side of the home. (If so, this is considered inauspicious).

level and has a platfrom and

overhang.

It is quite natural or OK for the main door to be hinder than the road.

However, under Feng Shui, one should consider the no. of steps.

I reproduce, an old article in this forum indicating the method for counting the number of steps-in-a home:-

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
