Dear AM,

1. Yes, I do agree with you that if one is doing Feng Shui on your own, it would be difficult to apply everything universally.

2. This is because no amount of text-book can address `unique' situations.

3. I remembered some years back when a user of this forum wrote that houses in Sweden have their kitchen in an `island' or pumping which is `contrary' to Feng Shui.

4. It boils down to experience and this is where a FS practitioner or `Master' can make the difference.

5. Your situation is not unsimilar to many condominums where some units have their main entrance door facing `land' while their `frontage' or balcony faces water.

6. So far, I believe no book has fully addressed the `frontage' of a house.

This is because, by writing `theories' or concepts based on the `frontage' of the house, it is very difficult to `apply' or some FS practitioners may simply `critize' the writing.

The main reason for `critism' is that it is very difficult to apply as there may not be fixed rules such as how to find the `correct' direction of the main entrance.

A "frontage" can be wide and where do we then locate and determine where the main entrance door is?

7. Because it is so difficult to determine the main entrance, such analysis can be subject to critism by die hard, Traditionalist FS practitioners.

8. In my opinion, as at now, if one is to use the Flying Star Feng Shui to analyse a house, one should still do it the traditional method of finding the direction of the main entrance door and reference it to one of the 24 directions (in 15 degree increments).

9. For a "Shapes and Form" practitioner, or one who `specialises' in it, this is easier as assessment of the home can be made in relation to `frontage' or just looking at the house in relation to its environment.

10. Thus, your house, would most likely based on your description `fit' a healthy image of even an excellent home.

When we look at the frontage in relation to water positions, so far, no books have yet to be written on it, may thus give confusion or sadness to owners of such `unique' houses.

Thus, it could instead turn out to be quite the opposite ie. it could be an `excellent' or `good' house.

11. So long as the water can be `tamed' and there is no element of `surprise' such as sudden flooding etc... then the frontage you mentioned, in my opinion, works for you. (Just a hunch)

Warmest Regards
Cecil
