Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan — Home Feng Shui: Case 19 Bridge Rushing Towards Main Door Causes Financial Loss

With the prevalence of urban flyovers, interchanges, and various distinctive buildings, many residences are inevitably exposed to complex urban architectural sha qi. In feng shui geomancy, the dynamic traffic flow on bridges is akin to turbulent water, while oddly shaped walls can generate harmful sharp-cornered magnetic fields.

• Bridge Rushing Towards Main Door (Inauspicious)

  If a bridge directly faces the front of a house, it often leads to financial loss. Bridges are characterized by guiding fast-moving qi. If the bridgehead, the curve of a flyover, or an access ramp directly rushes towards the main door of a residence, the resulting “rapid water sha” will directly disperse the home's qi field, making it difficult to retain wealth.

• Triangular Walls (Inauspicious)

  Many people, when planning the courtyard of a self-built house, are constrained by terrain and construct triangular surrounding walls. Triangular walls are prone to causing misfortunes and continuous disputes. In the five elements, a triangle belongs to “fire”; its sharp points carry strong aggression, which can trigger negative emotions in residents, leading to endless arguments within the family and in external interpersonal relationships.

• Planting Elm Trees (Auspicious)

  To counter these complex external sha qi, our ancestors left behind a precious method of using plants to mitigate sha: planting elm trees can ward off evil and protect the home's peace. In feng shui, the elm tree is known as the “wood of yang energy”; its upright energy field can effectively neutralize and resist external invasive yin and sha qi.

• Rapid Wealth Loss

  For residences facing a bridge rushing towards the main door, the occupants often experience excessive spending or frequently encounter fraud in business investments, leading to an open treasury and continuous financial losses.

• Entanglement in Disputes and Lawsuits

  Family members living within triangular walls generally have irritable tempers, frequently attracting unnecessary disputes, and even often triggering legal actions and lawsuits.

• Setting Up Obstructions and Reflective Sha Qi Remedies

  Facing a bridge rushing towards the main door, Hong Kong Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan suggests hanging a Shan Hai Zhen (Mountain and Sea Talisman) or a Bagua mirror above the main door to reflect and disperse the direct sha qi from the bridge. Simultaneously, a solid entryway screen (Xuan Guan) must be installed inside the main door.

• Modifying Walls and Plant Protection for the Home

  For triangular walls, the sharp corners should be rounded off as much as possible, or a tall elm tree should be planted at the sharp corners. Utilizing the elm tree's protective properties and wood element can absorb and transform the fire sha generated by the triangle, ensuring the home's peace. Andrew Chan Feng Shui emphasizes these practical solutions.
