Buying property and bazi auspicious direction

Recently, I had a chat with a customer enquiring on fengshui home selection services. Wishing to know more on fengshui for house selection, I answered and shared some of key fengshui aspects to look for.

​During the chat, I noticed however, that she seem to focus on property in the West (while she works in East). That was when I found out her previous fengshui master shared that she should only stay in the West as it is her favourable direction.

​Favourable Direction based on Your Bazi

So, what is this favourable direction about? Is there any basis?
In the world of Chinese Metaphysics, each direction does represent an element. (Refer to below for elements based on direction)
​
Basing on my client’s favourable bazi element, a favourable direction is then derived.
Hence, basing on your bazi, if your favourable element is Wood, then it is deem best you stay in the East.
Should your favorable element be Fire then its best for you to stay in South.

​Practicality
Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying the basis is incorrect. However, we need to apply a little bit of practicality in application.

Using my client’s example, relocating to the West intentionally due to fengshui while you work in the East, may not seem so feasible. This is not to mention the daily (unnecessary) travel, which would be tiring.

On another note, imagine if you are looking for a condo and you can only stay in the South. One may feel stressful even before staying in one. Why? This is given how it may not be a feasible economical option for all – considering how expensive most property would be in South.

House Selection Process

We must ask ourselves, what is important in a property house fengshui?
The key lies in the fundamental aspects – main door, bedrooms, kitchen, layout and external environment. So long as the property passes these requirements, it enjoys good fengshui. Any person staying in the house would receive the luck.

Hence, we always recommend one to perform a feng shui house selection audit before committing. This is to ensure property has good or at least no bad fengshui to begin with.
That is already half the battle won.

Fengshui and its application is after all a science subject. But at times, it requires a bit of practicality too. At least in my humble opinion.
