We receive a lot of questions regarding how good/bad house Feng Shui can be. Regardless of the questions that arise after or before the house purchase, it is always safe to have the house analyzed by a Feng Shui consultant. In this article, we are going to discuss a house with a bad Feng Shui layout.
Figure 1
Figure 1 shows a north-facing house from period 7. The house was built and occupied at the end of period 7. The occupants included a father, a mother, a grandmother, and two sons. It is known that the grandmother was sick and passed away several years later, and then the mother’s health started to deteriorate. The youngest son deals with a long-term back problem, and businesses were not smooth due to recurring theft.
​
There are several analyses that need to be combined together. The technicality of the analysis is outside of the scope of the article. Figure 2 below shows that the house has missing sectors (NE and SW sectors are missing). A non-rectangular/square shape house will have missing sectors and the missing energy can’t provide protection from the effect of the inauspicious stars.

Figure 4
Figures 3 and 4 are the flying star Qi analysis that has been narrowed down to the main rooms in the house. So, where’s the problem? In Flying Star, star 5 is the worst star that brings the majority of bad luck, including sickness, loss of wealth, etc. Star 2 is the sickness star and star 7 is the theft/robbery star.
Let’s start with the theft problem. The main door is located in the 7-7 sector. During period 7, this was very auspicious, and the business grew. However, the auspiciousness goes away after period 7 ends. Since the main door is in the theft/robbery star (star 7) section, this explains why the businesses have been continuously bothered by theft in period 8. Note: It is also important to analyze the workplace Feng Shui (if it is not a home business), which is outside of the scope of this article.
​
Next is the sickness problem. To answer this, several analyses are required. First, based on the flying star analysis, we see that most bedrooms are located in the sector with star 5 (except the back bedroom which is used by the sons). Reader can notice the star 5 locations in figure 3 and 4. They fall into the bedrooms.
Figure 5
The in-depth analysis (small taiji analysis) is omitted in this short article.
In Figure 5, the beds are marked with cyan/light blue rectangles. Sadly, the mother side (master bedroom’s bed) is located at Star 5, and the grandmother's bed (middle bedroom’s bed) faces the Star 5 direction. This bed location/direction will accentuate sickness and/or other bad luck.
The red arrows are the regular pathway taken by all occupants to enter the house, which starts from the NW side of the garage, the NW side of the kitchen, and then the NW side of the family room (and also enters from the NW side of the master bedroom if one needs to go to the master bedroom). Figure 4 shows the NW sector contains star 2 (especially on the right side, which is also known as the water star). Hence, the sickness star is activated several times every time the occupants enter the house via the garage door.
Let’s go back to figure 2 and 4. Note that the North East sector (garden) and the South West sector (backyard) are considered missing sectors. Missing NE sector means there is less/no protection for the youngest son and missing SW sector means there is less/no protection for the eldest lady in the residence.
In short, there are sickness star activations every time going into the house, sleeping at the star 5 location (or facing the star 5 direction), sleeping in star 5 bedrooms, and missing sectors.
All analysis above explains why the grandmother sickness worsened and later passed away. Then the mother becomes the eldest lady with deteriorating health. SW sector represents the eldest lady and it is missing in the house layout. The youngest son’s back problem can be explained due to the NE missing sector which represents youngest son and also back/muscle problem.
This is an example of a bad house (Feng Shui-wise) that should have been avoided from the beginning. Can remedies help? A little bit only. When you are sick, you can use medicine to counter it, however it is wise to keep yourself healthy and avoiding the sickness from the first place. Renovations will be very major for this house and may not be worth it.
​
Another frequently asked question is: how big is the probability that my house (or future house) Feng Shui can be this bad? Well, Feng Shui is never a trial-and-error work. A proper analysis is required and it’s best to involve a classically trained Feng Shui consultant prior to purchasing a house. Even at 50-50 probability, you do not want to risk purchasing a house with bad Feng Shui.
