Best Direction: South-facing and East-facing

In terms of house Feng Shui, the door is an inlet, just like a person’s mouth and nose, thus playing a very important role. Therefore, particular attention should be paid to the house direction in Feng Shui. If the front door has a poor direction, it may violate the Feng Shui taboo. South-facing and east-facing houses can fully embrace the sunshine, thus have the best direction. But this is only the general principle and it is not suitable for everyone, just as a pair of shoes can’t fit everyone

Feng Shui Tips Before Buying a New House

Buying a house can be a fascinating experience even if at times filled with fear and doubts. Applying feng shui to the process of buying a home is a wise investment on many levels—it will give you peace of mind as well as assure that your house is a good financial investment. Good feng shui means good energy and people are always attracted to it! This will help you with the house sale in the future. Good feng shui also means good health, happiness, and prosperity.

Location, Neighborhood and Plot Placement

In feng shui, the real estate notion of location takes a deeper meaning as it deals with the quality of energy entering your home. Be sure your house receives good energy from its surroundings—a clean street, good neighbors, no Sha Chi from nearby structures, no sloping land behind the house, etc.

In general feng shui terms, you want the house to have some breathing room, and classical feng shui positioning of a house on a lot is when the backyard is slightly larger than the front yard. You also want good backing (the mountain energy in feng shui) as well as a good min-tang, which is good quality energy and ample view in front of the house.

Strong Front Door

The front door is very important in feng shui as this is how the house receives its chi or energy nourishment. Feng shew-wise, people, start looking right away at the feng shui direction of the house to see if it fits one of the lucky feng shui directions for the family members. While this is always a good idea, do not forget to look at all the elements of a strong feng shui front door. The door’s size and proportion in relation to the rest of the house and the pathway leading to it. Sometimes you can change a lousy feng shui pathway with easy landscaping and sometimes you can’t be mindful of it.

Door Alignment

Unless you plan to renovate the house and change the positioning of the back door, it is wise to avoid a house with direct doors alignment. The same feng shui principle, but to a lesser degree, applies to all doors in the house. As a feng shui rule of thumb, no direct door alignment is good as it creates a strong rush of Chi and thus a loss of good energy.
