Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan — Home Feng Shui: Case 27 Missing West Corner is Ominous

When choosing a home layout, many people are easily captivated by exquisite show flats and large bay windows, overlooking serious 'missing corner' phenomena on the floor plan. In feng shui, the four corners of a house represent the four pillars supporting the family's fortune. Once a core direction suffers a large area of deficiency, the sha qi and qi collapse it brings are extremely difficult to fully compensate for with subsequent soft furnishings. When selecting a home, special attention should be paid to the integrity of the house.

• Missing West Corner (Extremely Ominous)

  A home missing its west corner is an extremely ominous dwelling and should absolutely never be inhabited. In the Wen Wang Bagua, the due west direction belongs to the 'Dui Trigram,' which corresponds to the Metal element. It represents the youngest daughter in the family, female interpersonal relationships, and physically corresponds to the lungs, respiratory system, and large intestine. More importantly, the Dui Trigram governs the entire family's 'windfall wealth' and 'eloquence and livelihood.' Hong Kong Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan sternly points out that once the due west of a residence has a severe missing corner, it directly severs the financial foundation of the household. This is considered a losing and dead-end situation in feng shui, and such a home should never be moved into.

• Missing South Corner (Ominous)

  While a home missing its south corner does not lead to major disasters, it causes constant disputes and a lack of peace. The due south in the Bagua corresponds to the 'Li Trigram,' which belongs to the Fire element. A missing south corner leads to unstable fire element qi in the home. Li Fire governs etiquette and emotions; a missing corner can cause excessive emotional fluctuations among all family members, filling the home with endless quarrels, suspicion, and verbal abuse, making it impossible for the household to have a moment of peace.

• Sudden Financial Ruin and Unexpected Bloodshed

  Families living in homes with a missing west corner often encounter major career crises within half a year, even facing bankruptcy and mounting debts. Furthermore, the women in the family are prone to severe lung diseases.

• Family Never at Peace

  In houses with a missing south corner, spouses, parents, and children constantly argue or engage in cold wars over trivial matters, and the family lacks any warmth.

• Avoid or Decisively Move Out of Homes with Missing West Corners

  When faced with a severely inauspicious layout with a missing west corner, the wisest choice is to directly abandon its selection. If you have already moved in and are experiencing financial ruin, Hong Kong Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan suggests that if conditions permit, you should decisively move out. If moving is not possible, you must place an enlightened pure copper Qilin or nine pure copper coins in the missing west corner to forcefully supplement the deficient Dui Metal qi with strong Metal energy.

• Supplement Southern Li Fire Energy

  To address constant disputes caused by a missing south corner, install a red wall lamp that stays on all day in the due south direction, or place red Chinese knots or horse ornaments (horses belong to Wu Fire). Use strong five elements fire energy to fill the void of the Li Trigram.
