Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan — Home Feng Shui: Case 25 Heaven Cleaving Sha

In modern high-density urban environments, towering buildings stand shoulder to shoulder. Due to architectural planning and staggered arrangements, residential exteriors often encounter various extreme landform (xing luan) storms created by contemporary high-rise structures. Among these, the most widely known and devastatingly potent is the “Heaven Cleaving Sha”.

• Heaven Cleaving Sha (Ominous)

  Heaven Cleaving Sha: Facing the narrow gap between two tall buildings, it resembles a long, slender blade cutting directly towards the residence, signifying extreme misfortune. From an aerodynamic perspective, when strong winds blow through two closely spaced high-rises, the 'venturi effect' causes wind speed to instantly multiply several times, forming a powerful, blade-like current that directly strikes the opposite residence's main door or windows. In feng shui, this is equivalent to an invisible, divine blade constantly cleaving the home's magnetic field, highly prone to causing accidents and bloodshed. Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan emphasizes the severity of this sha qi.

• Triangular Residences (Ominous)

  Triangular residences, with their sharp angles, lead to constant family disputes and can even cause divorce. In feng shui's Bagua, a triangle belongs to the 'fire element' landform. Living in a house with a triangular floor plan results in a severely imbalanced qi field, causing drastic fluctuations in the internal magnetic field. This can lead residents to extreme emotional states, triggering endless internal family conflicts. Andrew Chan Feng Shui advises caution with such layouts.

• Low-Lying, Flood-Prone Areas (Ominous)

  A residence built in a low-lying, flood-prone area accumulates heavy yin qi and bacteria, inevitably affecting health. Houses situated on excessively low ground, prone to water accumulation and flooding during heavy rains, constantly gather turbid, murky water from surface runoff. This causes the entire building to be overwhelmed with yin qi, transforming it into an inauspicious place rife with illness. This is a critical aspect of residential feng shui.

• Accidents, Illness, and Marital Breakdown

  For residences directly facing Heaven Cleaving Sha, family members have a significantly higher probability of experiencing car accidents, severe illnesses requiring surgery. For those living in triangular residences, marital relationships often completely break down within three years, leading to divorce. Master Chan has observed these patterns repeatedly.

• Declining Health

  In houses located in low-lying, flood-prone areas, the entire family will suffer from chronic eczema, arthritis, and severe spleen and stomach ailments. This is a direct consequence of the adverse feng shui.

• Powerful Defense Against Heaven Cleaving Sha with Shan Hai Zhen

  Facing the immense power of Heaven Cleaving Sha, Hong Kong Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan suggests that a consecrated Shan Hai Zhen (Mountain and Sea Talisman) or a pure bronze Qilin must be hung on the windowsill or balcony directly facing the sha qi gap. This utilizes the power of the mythical beast and the mountain-sea totem to forcefully neutralize and block this strong wind sha qi. Andrew Chan Feng Shui emphasizes the importance of proper consecration.

• Rectifying Triangular Spaces Internally

  For triangular residences, if external structural changes are not possible, interior renovation is necessary. Custom cabinetry should be used to fill in all sharp corners, making the main living space appear square or rectangular. Simultaneously, ceramic gourds should be placed at each sharp corner to absorb the 'fire sha'. Master Andrew Chan's approach focuses on practical, effective solutions for home feng shui.
