Some new buildings are horizontal rectangles. On the left are two bedrooms, on the right is the kitchen and toilet, and upon entering is the living room, which directly connects to the balcony. At first glance, it appears to be a fairly good living space because the living room has ample light and looks very refreshing. However, from a professional Feng Shui perspective, this type of building is not very ideal. Beyond being ordinary, it may be difficult for the owner to benefit from good Feng Shui energy.
Firstly, when the main door opens, one can already see the balcony. The main door is the hub of incoming Qi, like a person's nose or mouth. The prosperity or decline of the house is closely related to it. Even if there is good incoming Qi, it must circulate in the Ming Tang area and slowly dissipate, only then can it accumulate wealth, and the young and old at home rely on this to gain peace. Conversely, if the Qi flows away like running water or clouds disappearing instantly, it is a sign of failure. In many public housing units, the Qi cannot stay even for a moment, rushing straight to the balcony and dispersing into the open space outside, resulting in neither retaining wind nor accumulating Qi. People who live here often experience financial loss, and much of their money goes towards long-term medical expenses for family members, so how can such a place be considered a well-feng shui residence?
In terms of shape, the ideal layout is based on four corners and four sides. Simply put, this refers to a square shape. Next comes the rectangle, followed by the horizontal rectangle. Regardless of how it is adjusted, a horizontal rectangle always requires modifications to compensate for its shortcomings, as its bad aspects outweigh the good ones. Another point is that too much sunlight entering through the balcony disrupts the balance of Yin and Yang in the Ming Tang. Excessive Yang energy harms those with weak constitutions, particularly affecting their eyesight. There was a case where both grandparents and grandchildren in a family frequently suffered from eye diseases, requiring regular visits to the ophthalmologist and spending over a thousand to two thousand yuan per month. Moreover, the head of the household experienced stagnation in their career and significant fluctuations in monthly income. Much effort was required to correct these issues, balancing the Yin and Yang energies and enabling the Ming Tang to retain wind and accumulate Qi, thus stabilizing the family environment.
Places with heavy Yin energy are certainly not good, as they easily attract evil spirits, especially for people who are physically weak. These individuals often suffer from illnesses that doctors struggle to diagnose, a phenomenon directly linked to excessive Yin energy. On the other hand, places with overly strong Yang energy causing unrest among the inhabitants are relatively less common, as most people seem unaware of this issue. They assume that a bright home naturally boosts one's spirit, failing to realize that there are standards for indoor lighting. In short, balance is key.
