Three major elements and six taboos of gate feng shui: how to seek good luck and avoid bad luck

Home Feng Shui is not only about aesthetics, but is also closely related to the fortune, health and wealth of the residents. In particular, the front door, as the "qi mouth" of the home, plays a vital role in Feng Shui. An improperly designed front door feng shui may affect the fortune of the entire family and even lead to obstacles in wealth, career, health, etc. So, how can we avoid common taboos and improve our home’s fortunes through the correct feng shui layout of the door? This article will help you understand the three major elements and six taboos of front door feng shui, and provide practical solutions to help you avoid misfortune and bring prosperity to your family when decorating your home.

Three major elements of Feng Shui for the main door

• Red at the beginning

Red represents joy and good luck. Seeing red when opening the door can bring a warm and peaceful atmosphere to the home, and help improve the overall fortune of family members. You can place a red screen or red lantern at the door, or put some red decorations outside the door, such as red flowers, red curtains, etc. These elements can help attract positive energy into the home and repel negative energy.

• Green at the Door

Green symbolizes vitality and energy, can relieve stress and bring a fresh atmosphere. Placing green plants at the entrance not only beautifies the space, but also injects vitality into the home. Common Feng Shui plants such as the money tree, asparagus fern, ivy, etc. can increase wealth and health. In addition, choosing flowering plants such as roses and chrysanthemums can improve the love and interpersonal relationship luck in the home.

• Good fortune comes when you open the door

Placing "Fu" character decorations or auspicious pictures near the door can adjust the aura and bring good luck. For example, hanging a painting with the theme of white clouds, blue sky, and creek, or placing some small ornaments with cultural flavor, can not only reflect the owner's taste, but also help purify the aura of the home and improve the mood and fortune of the residents.

Six taboos of Feng Shui for front door

• Avoid opening the door to see the stove

Fire represents prosperity, but if the front door faces the stove, the fire will rush directly out the door. This layout will cause the loss of wealth, unstable family fortunes, and even affect the health of family members. Solution: You can place screens, plants or other barriers between the door and the stove to prevent the fire from directly hitting the outside of the door. At the same time, you can also adjust the position of the stove to ensure that it does not conflict with the door.

• Avoid opening the door to see the toilet

The toilet is a dirty place. Opening the door facing the toilet will cause dirty air to enter the house, affecting the health of family members and may even cause illness. Solution: You can add a screen or partition to block the toilet and ensure that the toilet is not directly facing the door. If conditions permit, adjust the orientation of the toilet door so that it is not facing the main door.

• Avoid opening the door to see a mirror

Mirrors have the function of reflecting aura. Seeing a mirror when you open the door will reflect the good luck in the house away, and may even attract negative energy, affecting the career and interpersonal relationships of family members. Solution: Avoid placing mirrors near the door. If a mirror is unavoidable, you can choose to avoid it facing the door directly or block it with heavy curtains.

• Avoid beams pressing on the door

If there is a beam under the door, it will easily give people a feeling of depression, which will affect the family's mental state and career luck in the long run. Solution: If there is indeed a beam pressing on the door in your home, you can block the beam by using suspended ceilings, wooden beam decorations or curtains to relieve the feeling of oppression.

• Avoid entering the ghost gate

If the door is designed to be arched, like a tombstone, it will bring an unlucky aura and affect the health and fortune of the family. Solution: Avoid choosing this design and try to choose a simple, straight door style to avoid unnecessary feng shui risks.

• Avoid seeing stairs at the entrance

Stairs and doors are relatively easy to form "aura channels", causing unstable airflow, affecting the fortunes of family members, and even causing bloody disasters. Solution: You can set up a screen or shield between the door and the stairs, or adjust the direction of the stairs to avoid looking directly at the door.

How to resolve the bad Feng Shui of the front door

• The front door faces the window, back door or toilet

If the front door is facing the window, back door or toilet, you can resolve the problem by pasting a "Fu" paper-cut on the window or placing a screen between the front door and the toilet. This can help adjust the airflow and reduce the impact of external aura on the interior.

• The main door faces the elevator

The up and down movement of the elevator will affect the stability of the aura in front of the door. To solve this unstable airflow, you can hang wind chimes above the door or place a pair of bronze lions at the door to balance the aura.

• Dirt in the area outside the door

Clutter in the area outside the door can affect the flow of energy in the home and have an adverse effect. Solution: Clean the area in front of the door regularly to ensure there is no debris. If possible, reach an agreement with your neighbors to work together to maintain tidiness and cleanliness in front of your door.

• The main door faces the corridor or passage

If the front door faces a corridor or passage, the airflow will easily become chaotic and unstable. Solution: You can place a screen on the inside of the door to block the direct airflow and add a beautiful scenery to your home.

• The door faces the stove

If the front door faces the stove, it will affect the family's health and fortune. Solution: It is recommended to set up a screen between the door and the stove to avoid direct air flow collision and ensure that the location of the stove is in line with Feng Shui.

• The gate faces the big tree

If a big tree is facing the front door, it may easily create the image of the Chinese character “困” (trapped) and bring an unstable atmosphere to the home. Solution: You can tie red ribbons on the big tree, or add some green plants around the tree to balance the aura and avoid negative influences.

Feng Shui Solution: Choose Feng Shui Items and Decorations

If there are Feng Shui issues in your home that cannot be resolved through simple layout adjustments, you can consider using some Feng Shui items to help regulate the aura. For example, Feng Shui mascots such as copper bells, Feng Shui wheels, and fortune cats can help attract positive energy and enhance family fortunes. Specifically:

• Copper bell : Can be hung on the door frame to help balance the aura and drive away bad airflow.
• Feng Shui Wheel : Can be placed at the front door or in the wealth position of the home to increase wealth.
• Lucky Cat : Often placed next to the door to attract wealth and good luck.
