Merchants present buildings for sale, thus defining them as commercial properties. Are you aware of the Feng Shui considerations associated with such properties? What aspects of Feng Shui should one delve into when dealing with commercial real estate? Let’s explore together.
Illustrating the Feng Shui of commercial properties, we embark on five essential checkpoints:
Firstly, the doctrine of Eight White (Ba Bai) governs the primary essence of this period’s Feng Shui. Within the twenty-year period spanning from 2004 to 2023, under the auspices of the Three Cycles and Nine Periods, the Eight White Gen Hexagram prevails. Gen symbolizes the northeast direction, and the Left Assistant Star of Eight White stands as the paramount celestial force of this period. Wherever this star resides signifies a flourishing of resources and prosperity.
Secondly, the orientation of the property holds paramount importance. It’s often stated: “Mountains govern relationships, while water governs wealth.” Here, “mountains” represent the landscape upon which the property rests, while “water” signifies its orientation. During the reign of Eight White Gen Earth, the auspicious water element, denoted as the Zero Deity Water, presides in the southwest. Thus, a property’s main entrance or windows facing the southwest direction, overlooking vast seas or pristine rivers, augur well for robust financial prospects and smooth career progression.
Thirdly, in choosing the appropriate floor within the building, one refers to the principles articulated in the ancient Feng Shui classic, the “Qing Nang Jing.” It states: “Heaven is noble, Earth is humble; Yang is odd, Yin is even; One and Six share the same lineage, representing the Wood element; Two and Seven walk the same path, embodying the Metal element; Three and Eight form companionship, signifying the Fire element; Four and Nine forge camaraderie, representing the Metal element; and Five and Ten converge, symbolizing the Earth element.” According to this doctrine, occupants should select the floor corresponding to the element deficient in their personal astrological charts.
The ideal dwelling, the so-called quadrilateral abode, epitomizes a residence devoid of directional flaws in its corners. Such structural integrity ensures stability in all cardinal directions, fostering a harmonious domestic aura. Nevertheless, contemporary developers, constrained by the necessity of incorporating amenities such as staircases and elevators, unavoidably introduce varying degrees of angular imperfections into their residential offerings. Faced with such circumstances, one may seek solace through the exclusive auspicious domicile embellishments offered by the Seven Star Hall of Hong Kong, available at the Chinese Feng Shui website.
Selecting an auspicious date and location for residence initiation requires not only favorable temporal alignment but also the propitious influence of celestial energies. While skepticism or outright denial may shroud the realm of Feng Shui for many, conscientious attention to these subtle nuances can engender a state of tranquil assurance. Why forego such potential blessings?
In the realm of real estate, an understanding of Feng Shui dictates that the surroundings of a property should eschew excessive commotion and maintain a respectful distance from bustling thoroughfares. Favorable locales boast pristine water sources, unpolluted air, and a vibrant community, thereby ensuring the abundant flow of vital energy. Conversely, remote and sparsely populated areas risk a dearth of vital Yang energy. Ultimately, one’s immediate environment should evoke a visceral sense of affinity.
Locations steeped in malevolent energies should be avoided at all costs. Proximity to sources of negativity, such as emergency response stations, hospitals, governmental edifices, places of worship, crematoriums, cemeteries, and other sites replete with ominous Qi, ought to be shunned. Peripheral perils, such as substations, towering antennae, and broadcast transmitters emitting potent magnetic fields, similarly pose grave risks. Due to constraints of brevity, an exhaustive list of detrimental influences remains beyond the scope of this discourse. Prospective homebuyers must therefore exercise acute vigilance concerning peripheral conditions to avert the acquisition of a property cursed with unfavorable Feng Shui, lest they expend substantial sums on an inauspicious abode. The internal decoration of residential properties should avoid having the bathroom or bedroom door directly facing the main entrance. It is inadvisable for the master bedroom’s bathroom door to directly face the bed, and the direction of the flush toilet should not align with the overall orientation of the house. Ideally, the kitchen should not be situated in the due south or northwest direction of the house, and it is preferable for the kitchen to be spacious. The living room should be spacious, while the bedrooms should not be excessively large. Mirrors in the bedroom should not directly face the head of the bed.
Ensuring that any three doors within the interior do not align along a single axis is essential. Be cautious of beams within the house, avoiding placing them directly above dining tables, beds, or areas where individuals frequently rest or engage in study and work. It is preferable for children’s rooms to receive ample sunlight, and positioning the elderly’s room in the northwest direction is considered auspicious.
