Corner houses have good feng shui but strong energy. Astrologer Chang Tosaporn. Famous feng shui expert Astrologer Chang Tosaporn revealed the belief that corner houses are golden locations with open, airy views, not directly adjacent to other houses. They suit leaders who like to stand out. However, from a feng shui perspective, the chi energy may rush in excessively, making the home's energy stronger than usual.
Astrologer Chang advises balancing this by planting trees at the corner of the house, especially on the street side, to help reduce the intensity of the chi energy, making the home calmer, more livable, and balanced.
What are the feng shui advantages and disadvantages of corner houses?
Corner houses have several advantages physically and feng shui-wise because they have two open sides.
1. Excellent natural light and ventilation make the home airy and not damp, supporting good health for residents (good physical features correspond with good feng shui).
2. More usable space, often with a larger yard around the house, suitable for gardening or outdoor activities.
3. High privacy, with neighboring houses only on one side, providing more privacy than a middle house.
4. Greater reception of “chi” energy. Feng shui holds that corner houses receive more beneficial energy because roads bring energy flows into the house from two directions.
1. Strong energy clashes often directly hit the house's corner, causing cutting or killing energy (like killing arrows). Without proper protection, residents may experience distress, illness, financial, or relationship problems.
2. Increased risk of accidents, considered negative feng shui affecting safety and a sense of insecurity.
3. Noise and dust pollution are higher from the roads, disturbing rest and considered negative energy pollution.
4. Higher expenses: overly strong energy (excessive energy intake) may cause residents to be irritable and incur greater spending.
5. If located at a three-way intersection with a road directly facing the house corner (like a minor three-way junction), this is an unlucky position requiring immediate feng shui correction.
The main principle in remedying corner houses is to slow and redirect the clashing energy before it enters the home.
1. Plant large trees or create gardens at the corner where the energy hits directly. The wood element (trees) absorbs and slows down the strong energy winds before they reach the house.
2. Build higher fences or walls that are not too solid to serve as the first barrier reducing the intensity of incoming energy.
3. Use reflective items and remedies for cutting energy, such as convex mirrors or eight-sided mirrors (Bagua mirrors) placed at the front or corners facing the energy clash to reflect negative energy away.
4. Hang wind chimes in areas where the energy clash is less intense to slow down the fast-moving chi and disperse it with auspicious sounds.
5. Create internal stability by choosing appropriate doors. If there are two entrances, use the door that receives slow, embracing energy as the main entrance and keep the door facing strong clashing energy closed or only use it when necessary.
6. Install bright lighting at the corner of the house at night to dispel negative energy and enhance yang energy.
However, corner houses are among the most sought-after when buying homes. From a feng shui perspective, they are double-edged swords, offering both good and bad results equally, depending on the environment and the direction of energy flow entering the house.
