Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan — Home Feng Shui: Case 55 Sickle Sha (Residence at the Bend of an Elevated Road or Flyover)
Author: Master Andrew Chan · Mongkok, Hong Kong · Home Feng Shui Expert · Updated 2026-07-18

Layout Analysis
Hong Kong Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan's home feng shui insights point out that Sickle Sha is an urban upgrade of the Anti-Bow Sha, referring to the curved bend of an elevated road, flyover, or expressway directly facing a residence. Due to the high roadbed and fast vehicle speeds, the sha qi (negative energy) strikes like a horizontal sickle, with an intensity far greater than that of a regular road's Anti-Bow Sha. Because its form resembles a sickle cutting across the waist, it is also known as 'Waist-Cutting Sha'. Besides the impact of airflow, elevated roads also bring continuous noise, vibration, and exhaust pollution. Long-term residence in such locations can severely affect sleep quality and overall physical and mental health.
Main Impacts
Health Damage
Prone to cardiovascular and nervous system diseases, poor sleep, irritability, and frequent chronic illnesses.
Accidents and Injuries
Increased probability of accidental injuries and surgeries; family members are prone to bumps and minor injuries.
Wealth and Career
Significant fluctuations in wealth, frequent unexpected career obstacles, and poor income stability.
Remedial Suggestions
Set up Barriers (External Obstruction)
In the direction facing the Sickle Sha, plant tall trees, install soundproof walls, or enclose balconies, paired with double-glazed soundproof windows, to block noise, airflow, and visual impact. This is a key recommendation from Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan.
Place Sha-Dispelling Items (Auxiliary Remedies)
On the balcony or windowsill directly facing the sha qi, place items such as a Tai Shan Shi Gan Dang (stone tablet), a convex bagua mirror, or stone lions to neutralize the direct impact of the negative energy. Master Chan often advises these traditional remedies.
Internal Remedies (Qi Field Adjustment)
Inside the home, in the area directly facing the Sickle Sha, place a fish tank or aquatic plants. Water can dissolve sha qi and soften the aggressive, rushing energy field, as taught by Feng Shui Master Andrew Chan.
