Previous article, we wrote about Top 20 Negative Energy aka Sha Qi (煞气) in our house environment.  In this article, we move in depth on one of the 3 critical factors discussed – Main door.

As we know, main door determines the entire house fortune.  So identifying them before purchase of a house or understanding them will give you an option to do something against it or move on to search for another house.

In here, we list out 10 common negative energy seen on a main door.

In Feng Shui context, family members will face lots of challenges and things will not be smooth sailing in their career, wealth, fortune and relationship.

Numerous ways to go about resolving this Sha Qi.  A modern way is to shine bright light onto the wall to change the perspective to “bright future”(出門光明).  Alternative, placing real life plants would also help.

A traditional style would be placing an ornament at top of the main door with mirror characteristic (e.g. 山海镇 or 九宮八卦牌).  If the wall is not a public area, you can place a painting showing a ship entering the port.  The ship must be steering inwards the house direction.

No. 12

Tilted door/ Slanted door is when the main door is tilted at a certain angle which is not the usual 90 degree.  A subjective matter where Feng Shui masters will tell you different things.

In Feng Shui context, this is known as tilted door or crocked mouth door (歪嘴門/ 斜門).

If tilted angle is not right, this will attract negative spirits and having unnecessary issues by colleagues at workplace.

Other Feng Shui master may advocate this creates wealth and harmony as it is in the right direction to receive the positive energy airflow (Qi).  Another purpose is to avert Sha Qi which the original angle is receiving.

The angle is usually calculated based on the house owner’s Bazi.  Do note that this also affect rest of the family member.

This method is proposed when there seem to have no other solutions by Feng Shui master.  Lastly, best to avoid purchasing such a house if this tilted door already done as the receiving angle may not be favorable for you.
