And having a great house means good luck flowing through out a life time. You will enjoy wealth and prosperity and fantastic relationships if you can pick a great feng shui house.
Step 1: Find the kua number for the head of the family
Once you know the kua number you must check if you are an east group or west group.
If the breadwinner is from east group that means kua numbers------ 1,3,4,9 the family will benefit from a house facing East, North, South, South East.
If the bread winner is from west group that means kua numbers ----- 2, 6,7,8 the family will benefit from a house facing North west, South West, West, North east.
Step 2: Check house facing direction
You will need a good feng shui compass. Not just any other compass. In a normal compass you will find 4 primary directions that is north, south, east, west and 4 secondary directions North east, south east, north west and south west. So thats a total of 8 direction.
A feng shui compass will not only have 8 directions but each of the direction is subdivided into 3 sub directions. So you have a toal of 24 directions in this kind of compass. So you will know exactly if you are facing north then is it north 1, north 2 or north 3. Each direction is divided into 3 sub direction.
Step 3: Watch out your neighbourhood
The natural environment is very powerful. So even if your interiors suffer from feng shui mistakes, you dont need to worry if your home enjoys excellent feng shui landscaping and physical surroundings. But if the landscape is suffering from bad feng shui then even the most powerful feng shui items inside the home will be weak.
Is your house too near to rail roads?
keep your eyes out for cemeteries. Places of Worship, Hospitals and prisons. Are they too near to your house? Dont think they will bless you, They wont.
Do not live sandwiched between two buildings which dwarf your home.The buildings block any benevolent chi from flowing into your home.
Do not live too near to road flyovers which seem to cut into your home or the building that houses your apartment. The chi turns lethal. Its not a good feng shui house
Do not live in a dead end. Here chi stagnates, and when you have problems, there will be no way out. Its not a good feng shui house.
Step 4: Poison Arrows Towards Your Main Door.
1. Anything tall right infront of your main door is bad news.
This could take form of a single tree, The view in front of the house, especially directly ahead of the main door should not be blocked by any structure or hill for at least twice the length of the home. If your home faces such a building, try to change its orientation
such that the building is behind you. A neighbor’s massive wall, if it is higher than the ground level of your home (and worse if it is higher than that), you have a problem.
If the road infront of the house is higher than the ground level of your house then its a problem.
2. A straight road facing your entrance is bad news.
Are you living at a t junction or y junction? Or may be its the cutting edge of a curved road. Watch out for any straight road facing your main door. If the road is curved then the energy slows down and becomes loving towards the home.
3. Any shap object facing your main door is a poison arrow
Look out for the neighbor’s triangular roof line, the garbage across the road, single trees, lamp-posts, telephone-poles, street-signs pointing towards your door. These poison arrows are less severe. Block them off from view. Anything not facing your main door cannot harm you.

Step 6: Watch out the floor plan
Are the kitchens and toilets visible from the entrance? Do you have toilets and kitchens in the two most important areas (North west or South west)? The worst house is where you have kitchen in the north west. All the heaven energy pours into the home from north west.
Next check if you have toilets above front door , living, dining room, bedroom or kitchens? Do you have kitchen below a bedroom, living, dining room ?
