Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan — Home Feng Shui: Case 56 Centipede Sha (Dense External Wiring or Pipes)
Author: Master Andrew Chan · Mongkok, Hong Kong · Home Feng Shui Expert · Updated 2026-07-18

Analysis of the Formation
Hong Kong Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan's home feng shui insights point out that when a large amount of dense, messy electrical wires, pipes, or barbed wire are visible outside a residence's windows or on its exterior walls, crisscrossing like the body of a centipede, this is known as "Centipede Sha." These cluttered lines create a chaotic qi field, disrupting the stable qi of the home. Simultaneously, the visual clutter can negatively impact the emotions of the residents. Older communities and street-facing homes are more prone to encountering this type of sha qi.
Main Impacts
Health Aspects
Prone to skin conditions and gastrointestinal digestive issues. Family members may frequently experience minor ailments such as mouth sores and itchy skin.
Interpersonal Disputes
Increased gossip and disputes, encounters with petty individuals, constant arguments, and frequent obstacles in endeavors.
Emotional Aspects
Feeling irritable, cluttered thoughts, difficulty concentrating, and prone to anxiety.
Remedial Suggestions
Block the View (Basic Solution)
Hang thick curtains inside the windows and keep them drawn to block the view; or place tall plants to obstruct the visual impact of the cluttered lines. This is a practical home feng shui tip from Master Andrew Chan.
Place Sha-Dispelling Items (Symbolic Remedy)
Place a rooster-shaped ornament on the windowsill, with its beak facing the direction of the Centipede Sha. This symbolizes the rooster pecking at the centipede and is a classic traditional method for resolving Centipede Sha, often recommended by Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan.
Maintain Indoor Tidiness (Qi Field Optimization)
Keep the interior clean and bright, reduce clutter, and enhance positive qi to counteract the negative influence of external disorder. This helps maintain good residential feng shui.
