People born in the Year of the Dog tend to value friendship greatly. For those born in the Year of the Dog, when it comes to buying a house, what are the key Feng Shui considerations? Let’s take a look together.
When it comes to Feng Shui, people born in the Year of the Dog should also pay attention to various negative energies that may exist indoors and outdoors, such as the common “Fire Shape Sha” and “Broken Army Sha.” These “Sha” could potentially affect the health and fortune of the homeowner and should be carefully avoided.
1. “Fire Shape Sha”: This refers to sharp, triangular objects outside the house, such as wall corners or chimneys, directly facing the house. This could easily lead to acute illnesses and various injuries for family members, as well as negatively affect the homeowner’s fortune, especially in terms of fire safety. Therefore, if a house has “Fire Shape Sha,” it is advisable to avoid it as much as possible.
2. “Broken Army Sha”: This is analyzed based on the Eight Diagrams and Nine Palaces. When the bedroom is in the position of the “Broken Army” (weakening star), the house is considered to have “Broken Army Sha.” This can affect the health of family members, especially leading to infertility. It could also bring financial losses and various disasters. Therefore, if a house has “Broken Army Sha,” it is advisable to avoid it as much as possible.
In terms of Feng Shui, the years of Jia Xu, Bing Xu, Wu Xu, Geng Xu, and Ren Xu are considered auspicious for people born in the Year of the Dog, as these years correspond to the Dog sign in the Chinese zodiac and are associated with the Earth element. Optimal auspicious directions: The macro environment favors the northwest and due east orientations. At a micro level, dwellings with protrusions in the northwest or due east, along with expansive external vistas and presence of doors or windows, are deemed favorable. Prime periods for property acquisition: Years of the Rabbit, Tiger, and Horse are deemed auspicious. Conversely, it is advisable to avoid Dragon and Ox years. Preferred orientations for residences: Due east, northeast (slightly eastward), and true south are preferred orientations. Conversely, orientations to avoid include southeast (slightly eastward) and northeast (slightly northward). Corresponding to the dry earth element, the northwest direction is auspicious. Houses nestled against hills or those with a robust earthy atmosphere in the northwest are deemed suitable for habitation. Entrances ideally face northwest, east, or south, while the last digits of floor numbers or door plates are preferably 6, 4, 9, or 8. For individuals born under the Dog sign, it is inauspicious for their dwellings to have the kitchen or water source in the northwest direction, particularly those born between the seventh and ninth lunar months. Such arrangements could significantly impact their personal fortunes. Recommended reading: Factors to Consider When Purchasing a House from a Feng Shui Perspective.
