Henry Fong’s Feng Shui Series:
“What You Absolutely Must Know Before You

Buy A House?”
General
Feng Shui is evolved from the observations that people are affected, for better
or for worse, by their surroundings. The location of mountains, lakes, rivers,
buildings or roads, the orientation and placement of rooms and furniture within
your house and office etc can influence your wealth, health and relationship
with others.
The theories and practice of Feng Shui that we know today have evolved
through centuries of research, analysis and experimentation. The ancient
masters passed down their collective knowledge to their students and in every
generation, new findings were added and old theories refined.
What we have today

is a collection of
rules and formulas to
select a Feng Shui
compliant house or
office.
The places that we

spend more of our
time affect us the
most. For the
majority of us, this
would mean the
house and office. In
this booklet I will
focus mainly on the
house that includes
not just linked or detached landed houses but also multi-storey apartments and
condominiums. There are differences in the way that they are handled and
these are explained in a separate section at the end this booklet.
In my consulting practice, I have come across many houses with poor Feng Shui
characteristics. The owners were probably unaware of the rules of Feng Shui
when they made the purchases years ago.
In most cases, these owners either do not want to or are not able to buy
another house. My task for such cases is to correct the Feng Shui of what I call
a fundamentally flawed house.
Don’t you think it would be great if you know what to look out for and buy a
house with strong Feng Shui fundamentals? Then seek the services of a Feng
Shui consultant to maximize the Feng Shui of the house?
This is the objective of this booklet – the first step to better Feng Shui.
So, are you ready to go? Yes? Great! Let’s start with the land. From there I will
move on to the surroundings and finally the house itself.

The Land
There are a few things to consider when evaluating the land. They are the
'energy' of the land, shape, profile and location.
The 'Energy' of the land
The land that your house sits on should

have ‘qi’ or ‘energy’ that supports life.
This energy is manifested in the flora
and fauna of the land. A land that has
ample presence of wildlife such as
birds, squirrels or earthworm plus lush-
green vegetation indicates a strong
‘qi’.
Vegetation that is sparse or has a

yellowish tinge shows a land with
insufficient ‘qi’. You should avoid dry,
rocky or sandy terrain. It indicates the absence of ‘qi’.
Shape of the Land
A square or rectangular land is ideal. For a

rectangular plot, the length to breadth ratio
should not exceed 2.5:1. This is not a hard and
fast rule but it is generally accepted in Feng
Shui that a less extreme ratio is better.
Odd shaped lands such as rhombus or trapezoid or

land of irregular shape is not Feng Shui friendly.
L-Shaped or U-Shaped lands are also inauspicious.

The worst shaped land is a triangle. You should
also avoid land with significant missing corners.
The Profile of the Land
The land that the house sits on should ideally be higher at the back and slightly
lower in front. Avoid land which is higher in front and lower at the back as this
configuration is inauspicious.
The area directly in front of the house should ideally be an open space such as
a playground or a pond so that ‘qi’ can gather to benefit the occupants.
The Location
Contrary to popular belief, it is inauspicious to build a house on the top of a

hill. Such a house lacks support and occupants are known to feel insecure and
lonely. In addition, the occupants are exposed to the full effect of nature’s
forces and are more vulnerable to ill health, in particular those associated with
the lung and skin.
You should also avoid building a house on a steep incline for obvious reasons.
The best is on a gently sloping hill with the

incline providing support at the back. Flat
land is also acceptable provided that it is
not so low that it floods easily.
You should also avoid low lying areas that

are land locked by surrounding hills. Such
land-locked area can cause ‘qi’ to
stagnate and also make occupants
vulnerable to ill health.
The Surroundings
Excessively Yin and Yang Places
A house that is located near to or facing a gravesite is bad Feng Shui. It can
also hurt your pocket because you will have difficulty disposing it at a good
resale price! In fact there are documented cases where the resell price of the
property plummeted after a gravesite was built nearby or expanded!
There is an
ancient Chinese
philosophy
called Yin Yang
– in simple
translation it
means the
‘existence and
interaction of
two
complementary
and opposite
forces or states
e.g. day and
night, cold and hot etc’.
Too much of either is undesirable. The ideal is to have a balance of Yin and
Yang. In Feng Shui, the house (or office) should have a surrounding that has a
balance of Yin and Yang.
Gravesite, funeral homes, places of worship, hospitals are associated with

death, sorrow, suffering, unhappiness and have excessive Yin ‘qi’. Prison
complexes, abattoirs, power generation plants, police station on the other
hand are associated with killing, violence, anger and have excessive Yang ‘qi’.
You should buy a house that is located as far from these places as possible.
Mountains and Rivers
There is a popular Chinese saying, "Mountain at back, water in front". This

statement reflects a Feng Shui concept that a house must have support. This
support can be in the form of mountains or hills at the back of the house.
In addition, a good Feng Shui house should ideally have water or an open space
in front for ‘qi’ to gather. Clean moving water in particular is a strong
accumulator of ‘qi’ and is highly favored.
In an urban context, mountains and hills are replaced by buildings. Lake or

rivers and open areas are substituted by parks, playgrounds or roads.
You may notice my emphasis on clean lakes and rivers. Those that are stagnant
with rotting vegetation emit bad ‘qi’ and should be avoided.
Additional Places to Avoid
In an urban setting, there are

many man made structures that
are undesirable in Feng Shui and
should be avoided.
High tension pylon, microwave

relay stations, radio base stations
etc emit radiation and long term
exposure can potentially affect
your health.
You should also avoid oxidation
ponds which emit bad ‘qi’. Stay a sensible distance away from such structures.
What about the House itself?
The Shape of the House
The house should ideally be symmetrical in shape. Square or rectangular is

ideal. You should however avoid those with significant missing corners as shown
below.
In Feng Shui there is a relation between parts of the house with family
members , body organs, types of diseases etc and missing corners can affect
the luck, health and relationship of family members.
If your daughter has not found the man of her life despite many attempts and
much effort, it may be due to a missing corner! Or if you developed a
persistent stomach disorder ever since you moved into the house, it may be
due to a ‘missing’ corner!
Similar to the land, a triangle-shaped house is a definite NO!

Orientation of the House
Should the house face East, West, or South …. North or South-West?
There are very

complex rules
governing the
ideal facing
direction for a
house. The factors
that influence it
include: 1) The
sex and date of
birth of the head
of the household.
2) The completion
date 3) The
completion date
of the most recent
major renovation
done.
It is quite complex
and you must
attend a Feng Shui
course or two to
figure this out!
However I will save you the trouble and share a few tips with you.
We have just entered the Period of 8 which in Feng Shui lingo is a 20 years
period from 4th Feb 2004 - 2024. Houses that may have brought excellent luck
in a previous period (prior to 4th Feb 2004) can turn bad in this period and vice-
versa.
In this booklet I am going to focus on Period 8 houses, which are houses

completed within this period or previous period houses that underwent a
renovation major enough to change its period.
In this period, period 8 houses that face NE & SW are considered auspicious.
Such houses have favorable combination of stars that are characterized by
names like 'On Mountain on Water', 'Parent Sting', 'Combination of 10' & 'Pearl
String'. To a lesser extent, houses that face N & S are also considered
auspicious due to the stars combination like 'Double 8 Facing & Sitting'.
In addition to the period, occupants of the house are divided into either the
East Life or West Life Group based on their date of birth and sex. North and
South facing houses are suitable for those that belong to the East Life Group
while North East and South West facing houses are more suitable for those on
the West Group.
To find out which group you belong to please refer to a Kua chart that I have
set up on my site at http://www.henryfong.com/kua.htm
While period 8 houses facing NE/SW and N/S are considered auspicious, it does
not mean that houses that face other directions are inauspicious. Some have
good stars combination too.
When in doubt, use the services of a Feng Shui Consultant!
Selection of Rooms
Using Feng Shui formulas, we can

chart the 'good' and 'bad' areas
within a house. The methodology
is to use the 'good' areas for places
where we spend a lot of time e.g.
bedroom, living, dining etc so that
we can tap on this good energy.
Allocate the 'bad' areas for places

like the store and toilets where
we spend much less time.
Identifying such good and bad areas requires a course (or two) in formula Feng
Shui. Unless you are interested to embark on such a study, you are better off
using the services of a consultant.
The same goes for the location and orientation of the main door, kitchen stove,
bed and sitting orientation.
I strongly advocate using a consultant to advise you on the optimal internal

layout of your house.
History
If you are buying a pre-owned (second-hand) house, you must find out as much
as you can about the previous owners. Crucial information includes the length
of stay of previous owners or whether there were ownership changes in a
relatively short span of time?
Did the families live in harmony

or were they constantly
quarrelling? Did they do well
economically and most
important of all, were there any
cases of violent death?
Disharmony, divorce and

bankruptcy could signal serious
Feng Shui defects in the house
and/or the surroundings. Violent
deaths can generate sufficient
bad ‘qi’ that stays in the house
and create problems for future
owners.
If you are bold enough to ask around the neighborhood you may find a neighbor
who is willing to talk. It is better to be safe than to be sorry.
Does that mean you are safe with a new house? Not necessarily. You should also
check what the land that your house currently sits on was for used in previous
years. You should avoid land that was previously used as gravesites, prisons, or
places where violent death had occurred.

Additional things to watch out for!

There are certain locations in Feng Shui that are considered highly inauspicious
that should be avoided. I have highlighted a few below.
T and Y Junctions
It is highly inauspicious if the house is located at the ‘joint’ of a T junction as

shown below. It is worse if the house directly faces the road. Similarly it is also
inauspicious if the house is located at the ‘joint’ of a Y junction.
Inside and outside curves
The inside curve of a river or road is more auspicious than the outside of a
bend. Better to build a house on the inside of a bend.
River at the back
It is also inauspicious if a large and fast moving river flows past the back of
your house.
‘Attacking your door’
The location and orientation of the main door of a house is of paramount

importance in Feng Shui. Use the services of a consultant with his trusty
compass to tell you how to orient your door. In addition the main door should
not be 'attacked' by offending structures. These can be in the form of a tree or
a utility pole as shown in the diagram below.
Watch out for rooflines. If you extrapolate the sharp edges and they cut the
main door, then they are considered offending if they are near enough.
The edge of a large building that is nearby can also 'attack' your door as shown
in the diagram below.
The area in front of the house (that the main door usually opens into) should be
clear and unobstructed so that ‘qi’ can gather and come into the house to
benefit the occupants.
Special Consideration: Apartments and

Condominiums
Apartments and Condominium blocks
need a slightly different treatment
from a detached or linked house.
In the case of a house, the

orientation affects the occupants of
the house. In the case of an
apartment or condominium, the
orientation of the block affects all
the occupants of that block.
This is further influenced by the

location of the unit within the floor.
Finally the overall Feng Shui is further influenced by the orientation and layout
of the unit which explains why the consultation fee for an apartment or condo
is higher than a comparable landed property.
Unlike a detached or linked house, where there is a fair bit of freedom to

relocate and realign your main door, kitchen stove etc, there is usually not
very much you can do in an apartment and condominium.
As such I advocate the services of a Feng Shui consultant prior to purchasing

the unit.
Other than this, the other factors such as the land, the surroundings, history
etc are the same as that of a landed property.
