Feng shui at home

Your place
through the language of feng shui.

Support, the flow of qi, calm and activity. Describe your place for an explanation of the traditional interpretation and a suggestion of where to begin.

Which room shall we explore?

How many entrances are in use?

Count doors and open passageways, including an outside exit and an entrance to the kitchen. Do not count cupboard doors.

1 Where are the doors relative to this place?

Select all positions that apply. Several doors may be on the same side.

2 What is behind the headboard?

Look behind the furniture. You can mark a chair backrest or headboard separately below.

There is a solid headboard

3 Where are the windows relative to the bed?

You can select several answers, such as windows at both the head and feet. “At the foot of the bed” means a window directly in the direction of the feet.

4 How do people move through this space?

Follow the usual route from the entrance to other doors, the window and the chosen place.

Which tradition do we use?

The basics of the Form School in a modern Esonum adaptation: support behind, entrance and window positions, the flow of qi, and the relationship between yin and yang. Here, qi is a traditional concept, not measured physical energy. The interpretation explains the symbolic meaning of the arrangement; the suggested action applies it to your answers.

The view of the door follows a modern interpretation of the command position. The rules about windows near the bed come from Jampa Ludrup’s particular presentation of the Form School. Different schools may offer different interpretations; we do not combine them into a single “luck score”.

This is an introductory reading of one place. It does not calculate compass directions, bagua, five elements by sector or Flying Stars. The form cannot provide a forecast of health, income or events.
