Use your senses. Does the house have a good smell? Is it dirty?

If it has a bad odor, chances are something is wrong.

A bad smell invites bad energy.

Tip #3:Avoid any streets pointing directly at the house.

If you’re in a cul-de-sac, you don’t want a home in the center because if people drive in they’ll be pointed at you.

You also don’t want a house at the end of a street. The energy could be bad.

If you do live in the center of a cul-de-sac or at the dead end of a street, you’ll always have headlights.

Shining in your living room at night.

Tip #4: Look at the land shape. A home that has a square or rectangular lot is the best.

If it is another shape, a triangle, for example, with the point in the back, it is an indication that you will make very good money but you will not be able to keep it.

If the point is in the front, you will have a hard time making money but you will be able to keep it.

The shape of the lot could also give you problem selling it later.

to balance the landscaping and to sell later.

The environment is important.

They can calculate where the best place for you to live is from the city, to the street, and even to the apartment building (based on your energy) if you want, but not everyone is able to move.

If you don’t really have any ties where you’re living now, you could see where a Feng Shui professional recommends you move to.

They might offer some place you haven’t even considered before.

Tips and TranslationTips and TranslationTip #6:

If you’re close to water, it is perfect because the water takes care of your money.

Where there is plenty of money there could also be corruption. If there are plenty of mountains there will be plenty of kind people, but with little money.

So try to find some place that has an equal mix of both.

Practical InterpretationPractical InterpretationYou want a variety of things to look at. If you live where

there’s nothing but water, you might get tired of it.

If you have mountains as well, there’s a certain amount of aesthetically pleasing energy.

Tip #7: The front door should be flat.

It could be inlaid a little but but not at an angle. It is not good Feng Shui because it blocks new energy from coming into your home.

You sometimes see duplexes built where the right duplex has a door in the front and the left door is on the side.

Its could be depressing because you have to walk around the side to get in.

Practical InterpretationPractical InterpretationA door that’s elaborately set and angled simply looks odd

and presents an unwelcoming aura to visitors. Keep it simple.
