Question: If my front door faces south, what are suggestions for creating prosperous living space?

Great question. First, I personally come from the BTB or Black Hat school of Feng Shui and not Flying Stars or other compass based schools of thought. Take a look at this Feng Shui article regarding the cardinal directions and other schools of Feng Shui.

One important difference is that most traditional schools use the compass and the absolute or cardinal directions as a way of interpreting a given place in terms of wider universal factors. The Black Sect means of doing this involves understanding the site, not in terms of the fixed directions or compass positions, but in terms of the relative direction from which the Chi enters and on the site's unique qualities.

So the first thing that I would do is take a look at outside influences. What is the shape of the plot that the house is on, are there any hills going up or down, what is around the house. I take a look at the neighborhood and to see if there are streets heading directly toward the house.

Then I begin looking at the chi energy outside of the house. Meaning, what type of shape is the landscaping, bushes, trees, plants, flowers in? Are they healthy or are they dead. Are they well taken care of? I'm also looking at the outside structure of the house and the floor plan to see if there are any additions or missing areas in the house as this can have a variety of implications.

Then I start at the front door and work my way through the house. Take a look at the Feng Shui of an entrance video for how to evaluate the front entry way. The next most important area is the kitchen and stove. Is the stove clean and working correctly. Is the stove being used? The stove in Feng Shui is how you go out and get your money. It should always be kept clean and working. Even if it is to just boil water, you should be using your stove.

Then I review the bedroom. Take a look at this article regarding simple tips for the Feng Shui of a bedroom.

Then there are other considerations to look at regarding the chi that comes into the space from the front door. Is it going right back out again through a window or door across from the main entrance? Can the energy actually get into the door, meaning is the door on the side of the house.

Each of these situations requires a different remedy or method. There is no one way to conduct a Feng Shui consultation to increase wealth. Another question is, what does the energy of the space feel like. Who lived in the space prior to you being there and were they prosperous or declare bankruptcy?

There are so many factors to address or be on the lookout for when doing a proper review of a home. It is not just about adding some coins or adding a frog and hope that solves the issue.

A Feng Shui Question - My front door is actually on the side?

My front door doesn't face the street, it faces the driveway and the neighbour's kitchen window. What does this mean in Feng Shui terms and how do you remedy if there is actually a problem with it.

Answer: According to His Holiness Lin Yun Rinpoche, the front door is a key component to the Feng Shui of a home as it has to do with the chi entering the home, which results in being able to receive and take advantage of incoming opportunities and wealth.

If the chi has difficulty getting into the house, then it may feel like you are constantly fighting an uphill battle in these matters.

To correct this, place a large convex mirror outside the entrance so that you can view the entry on the lot similar to the mirrors that you see in hallways to see around a corner or on blind spots for driveways. This will allow you to see the front area of the house but also direct chi into the home to welcome wealth and abundant opportunities.
