Feng shui for houses is extremely focused on the position of the land, the construction of the house, the orientation of the house, and the arrangement of each area within your home. If done correctly, it can stimulate wealth and good luck. However, if feng shui is violated, it can bring bad luck to your home and cause illness and disease in your family.
There are three specific feng shui taboos that homeowners need to remember:
A road pointing straight towards the house
If there is a road in front of the house that leads straight towards the house, this is known as “contiguous road” in feng shui. It means that the road is dead in the layout of ancient houses and has a great impact on the people living inside the house.
In a real situation, when you open the door of your house, it creates a T-shaped road, where there is a lot of traffic passing through. In this case, it is inevitable that noise pollution will occur. The noise will affect the activities and rest of the entire family. Living in a noisy environment for a long time can lead to mental tension, increased blood pressure, and health problems such as hearing loss, imbalance due to sleep disturbances.
If there is a straight road in front of the door that leads into the house, there is also a situation where, if unlucky, vehicles can crash straight into your house.
Feng shui masters believe that if there is a straight road leading to the front door, it will create a direct airflow into the house. This airflow is extremely strong and fast. As a result, the family’s prosperity and career will be obstructed, and the members of the house will experience many ups and downs.
The front door is the most important place for drawing in wind to the entire house and is the place to gather wealth. If the path goes straight into the house, chaotic airflow will also follow. The ancients said that this airflow would sweep away the fortunes inside the house.
An electric pole pointing directly at the gate
When there is an electric pole in front of the house, the flow of air and wind will carry positive ions into the house. Positive ions will make the air become hot, dry, and hard, causing discomfort for people living in the house because they are always surrounded by positive energy. The house will then fall into the situation of Fire disaster in feng shui, causing the possibility of fire, explosions, difficulty attracting wealth into the house, less profit despite hard work, bad luck, and obstacles in the career and love life of the children.
Avoid having the gate facing the kitchen door, bathroom door, and windows
The kitchen is the heart of the house. In terms of design, the kitchen is the space with the most activities related to eating and drinking in the family. At the same time, the health and happiness of the family are directly related to it. Therefore, if the kitchen door faces the gate, the energy and fortune will all leak out.
After opening the door, it should not face the house column and staircase. If it faces the house column, it not only creates obstacles in the use of space but also hinders the development of business luck. Family members may easily become ill. If it faces the staircase, it is clear that fortune fluctuates.
If you want to attract luck and blessings for your family, what should you do?
In addition to the prohibitions you need to know in feng shui in front of your house, what should you do to attract wealth and prosperity? The following section suggests some items that can bring good luck to your family, you can give them a try!
Plant feng shui trees in front of your house
Green plants in feng shui symbolize abundance and growth. Planting trees inside or around the house signifies prosperity and brings cool energy to the house.
In particular, if you plant feng shui trees in front of your house that match the element of the homeowner, it will add positive energy, fortune, and prosperity to the family. If you are not sure which plants match your element, you can try planting plants that symbolize wealth such as lucky bamboo, money tree, or decorative orange trees.
Install a fountain, miniature landscape, or rock garden
Do you know why wealthy families often build rock gardens and fountains in front of their yards? They rely on the saying “Situated in the mountains, facing the water.” Houses with water inside gather fortunes and attract blessings.
Decorate with red-colored items
For a long time, Vietnamese people have believed that the color red represents celebration, happiness, prosperity, and warmth. Therefore, this also applies to feng shui at the front of the house. You can decorate the entrance of your house with red-colored items or paint the walls and doors red.
Red also symbolizes luck, wealth, and is the representative color of traditional Tet holidays. Because of this, you can display red items in front of your entrance to attract positive energy into your home. However, for those with a dominant Fire element, you should consider this prominent color.
Place lucky charms
Nowadays, feng shui offers a variety of lucky charms and items that bring luck and wealth to the family, such as feng shui stones, feng shui statues, wind chimes, and more. You can place these items in front of your entrance to decorate and attract the “God of Wealth” to your home.
