In Feng Shui, lands with favorable geomantic qualities, harmonious environments, and conducive living and working conditions are believed to possess positive energy. Conversely, places with unfavorable geomantic qualities, where complex issues frequently arise, affecting daily life, are considered inauspicious.

Each plot of land emanates a unique energy field. According to Feng Shui, this invisible energy field can influence all activities on the land. A positive energy field, combined with a auspicious landform and compatibility with the owner’s birth element, brings numerous benefits and peace to the household.

On the other hand, places with weak energy fields, inauspicious landforms, and negative energies are considered inauspicious and may bring disadvantages to human life. These places may include areas near industrial zones, factories, complex traffic situations, hazardous locations, or unstable geology.

Identifying Auspicious and Inauspicious Lands

  • Observing the Surrounding Environment

Areas with lush greenery, clean air, and a peaceful atmosphere that are neither too noisy nor too secluded are likely to be auspicious. In contrast, places with polluted environments and excessive waste are considered inauspicious due to their detrimental impact on human life.

If you’ve lived in a place for some time, you can also sense the character of the people around you. Harmonious, friendly, and approachable neighbors can foster a sense of comfort and ease, facilitating potential connections. Conversely, complex environments with unfriendly people often harbor potential problems and complications in the long run.

Observing the surrounding environment can help determine whether a land is auspicious or inauspicious.
  • Landform and Land Shape

Lands with square shapes, spacious frontages, mountain backing, and beautiful views, such as a lake, are considered auspicious.

In contrast, lands with irregular shapes, inverted triangles, obstructions in front (such as utility poles or tall buildings), or located at dead-end roads are often associated with unfavorable luck.

  • Signs of Positive Energy
  • Legal Documents and Planning

Apart from geomantic considerations, legal documents and planning permissions are crucial aspects that land buyers and owners should heed. Clear legal documentation prevents complications regarding land ownership and usage rights.
