In Feng Shui, many if not most have heard
about a Chinese saying: 宅命相配. It means a good affinity between the house and
the occupants, with an objective to best support their life endeavors with the
living home. To some, this will be ideal for those currently hunting for a dream
home for own stay or considering renting a choice home for a short period of
time.
I'm Renting. So does this matters to me?
Some will say that they are not the homeowners and just renting the property
for a lease, so it is important to select a good unit during their stay? In
Feng Shui, it really does not matter who is the homeowner of the property, but
it does matter and will affect those who are staying in the property.
When selecting your choice home, the first
level of personalization is to ensure that you have picked the right building based
on its elemental shape, different shape of building denotes different elements.
The five elements are Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. As building can be
regarded as a container of Qi or energy, hence it would “store” these elemental
energies.
Example #1:
If the building is tall and like a tree
truck, then it can be considered as a wood-element building and is suitable for
those in the development, fashion, education business or career relating to
this trade.
Example #2:
A building with a pointy roof, or with
triangular or irregular aspects of their facade, then it can be considered as a
fire-element building. It is good for those working or with business relating
to energy, technology, food and beverage, real estate, construction, insurance, etc.
Having selected the building, the next step
is to ascertain which floor is best suitable for you and your family based on the
elemental production cycle.
For high-rise buildings, each floor can be
represented by an element based on the He-Tu Principle. This elemental
representation for different floors is only applicable to high-rise buildings,
like condominiums, apartments, etc.
The elemental Supporting
and Controlling Cycle |
Using one of the earlier examples, as an illustration, the fire-element building would best support fire and earth floor levels, which are ending with 0, 2, 5, 7. This means that floor levels 2, 5, 7, 10, 12, 15, 17, etc.
On the other hand, as fire controls metal as well as water controls fire, you might want to avoid metal and water floor levels in a fire-element building, which are ending with 1, 4, 6 9. Hence, it best not to select floor levels 4, 6, 9, 11, 14, etc.
When you have identified the right building and a suitable floor level, then the next step is to ascertain a good home layout of the unit that could support the life goals and ambitions of yourself and the occupants, and of course, choose your dream home right at the first time.
