Q.		My new single-storey corner lot house was recently completed. I found that a lamppost has been erected opposite the road facing my main entrance and also a row of sigle-storey houses opposite mine. Please advise.
A.		When you say 'main entrance', is it exactly within the entrance itself or just off? (refer diagram). If it is directly within the main entrance, then you have two choices: get Tenaga Nasional to change the location of the lamppost (this is possible sometimes) or change your front door. As you have a corner unit, you might want to consider using the side entrance if it is suitable foryou based on your life gua. See table above for gua numbers and their corresponding auspicious directions.
Q.		I am wondering what went wrong with my life all these years. Be it relationship, financial or family ties, it has all been a failure. At 52, I am still single and struggling financially. My parents passed away some years ago and my siblings have all migrated. I have been staying in a double-storey house for the last 16 years. The entrance door faces the staircase and in front of the house is a lamppost. I believe all this is bad feng shui for its residents. I am afraid I cannot afford to move out at the moment. Is there anything I can do apart from changing the entrance? I was born on July 17.
A.		We will look at the external factor first. If the lamppost is directly in front of your door (as per diagram below), then it would affect you. Try and get Tenaga Nasional to move it. If that is not possible, then you will have to change your entrance. There is normally no cure for this sort of obstruction. Even a Ba Gua can only stop some of the effects and not all of it. As for the stairs facing the entrance, this would depend on how far away it is. If it is very close, then yes, it is no good. While you do not have a bright hall to help you retain your qi, you now have a staircase that helps you let the qi flow out your door Based on a normal house of 20ft x 60ft, the staircase needs to be at least 10ft away from the entrance door so that it does not affect you too severely If the distance is less, find out if you can put up a screen to block it. Ultimately, you may have to change your door, especially if the direction is not appropriate for you. I would strongly suggest that you see a feng shui practitioner about your house.
Q.		I have a piece of bungalow land, the front of which is the same level as the front road while the back is a drop of about 10ft to another piece of bungalow land. This means my lot stands higher than the lot behind mine. What is your feng shui opinion on this?
A.		In most cases, this is not good feng shui. In very rare circumstances, this formation may be very auspicious but it is very rare. The quick solution is to build a solid wall at the back.
