Dense foliage around a house: heavy Yin influence

Situation- You can sometimes sense darkness - both physical and atmospheric - which results from dense foliage, overgrown hedges and close proximity to a woodland.

Effects- This stifles Yang, which is represented by light and creates a stuffy and heavy atmosphere in the house.

Solution- The foliage should be cut back to reduce the negative effects of Yin. Where possible, more windows should be added. If this is not possible, light curtains should be used and drawn beyond the edge of the window where they open.

A house has too many windows: Heavy Yang

influence

Situation- Too many windows in the house increase the Yang influence.

Effects- This has the effect of allowing in too much light which can make the occupants of the house ill tempered. Air from all directions mixes together and disrupts the energy flow in the house.

Solution- Some windows should be kept shut and curtains should be used to prevent too much light from coming in.

Presence of an object outside the window

Situation- The main window or door overlooks a satellite dish or any other object.

Effects- Energy from this house is lost.

Solution- A potted plant should be kept on the window sill. It is not necessary to keep the curtains drawn.

Window overlooking a

clothe’s line

Situation- A window overlooks a clothesline, which is closer than 30 metres.

Effects- This gives too much Yin if the clothes are women’s clothes and undergarments. This usually has a bad implication, as the occupants will not be able to save money.

Solution- Place the curtains on either side of the window, but you need not draw them. Avoid the temptation to overspend.
