It is good to feel very comfortable in the new house which is a good start.

Overall, it is still difficult to have a `feel' just by description alone. Pictures would be useful.

For a house on a hill, the chief concerns are:

1. It shold not be on top of the hill such that the house is `exposed' e.g. no proper trees etc.. to protect it. Thus may inadvertenly be subjected to sha qi ... i.e. exposed wind blowing..

2. If it is next to a steep slope, check the steep slope for possible present or future soil erosion especially if it is of `soft sand' and not solid rock slopes.

If the slope is of soft sand, is there any natural protection e.g. strongly rooted trees or plants or any manmade support.

3. As mentioned, without any view of it, it is difficult to comment on whether there is harmony of the dragon with the tiger or whether, the site can accumulate wealth or allowed to be washed away.

4. Para 3 - with regards to accumulation of wealth has to do more with finance rather than woes related to usually misfortune or sickness. But it depends.

Even excellent houses or good or average houses are exposed to poison arrows which can still be corrected or neutralised.

Usually theses trees are not a threat especially if their tree trunks do not slice thru any of your house windows or door.

This sounds ok to me.

We have `discussed' this in one of the recent replies today i.e. West or NW facing based on your friends birth chart.

Please refer to today's reply on this.
