The location of your home or unit etc plays an important part in what sort of chi surrounds you.
Below are some examples of desirable and undesirable house or unit locations. However, try to form your own thoughts on how a road's contour makes you feel. Does the speed of rushing cars past your house excite you, or frustrate you?
The examples below take negative and positive chi flow into consideration.

 

A straight road
- If the road is a main thoroughfare of lots of noise and dirt flying past your home, you may find that illness and fatigue are common in your environment. If the road is not busy with traffic it resembles a soft stream- quiet, peaceful and balanced.

 

 

T-junctions, dead-end streets,Y-junctions
- houses at the end of a dead end street (and T and Y junctions) has negative chi aiming straight for the house. This negative chi shot-gun also applies to offices and units placed at the end of a long hallways.

 

 

 

A corner lot
- Residents living in a corner lot may feel unbalanced. Also traffic, noise and glaring headlights are a consideration.

 

 

 

A U-shape
- Residents may feel suffocated living in a house surrounded by a loop. This kind of structure should be avoided.

 

 

 

 

A sharp bend
- Extra anxiety is prone in such danger prone streets. Sharp corners cause brake screeches, and head light glare.

 

 

 

A meandering Path
- If your residence is placed in a gentle u-shaped bend it is considered lucky. The chi winds positively past your house bringing prosperity, good health, and promotion.
