For the swimming pool, you have to take note of the following important points:-

1. The swimming pool must not be directly behind the house.

2. Ideally, it should be in front of the house e.g. when you are standing at the main entrance area facing out of the home, preferably the swimming pool is on your left.

3. Make sure that the swimming pool does not have `sharp' edges e.g. pointing towards your house. This is Sha Qi or poision arrow.

4. A swimming pool should also not have many curves and `odd shaped'.

5. Where possible, the swimming pool should not occupy be more than 33.3 percent of the plot of land area.

6. The swimming pool must not be at the centre of the house.

7. Please take note that the Shapes and Form School (particularly the Four Symbolic Animals Concept) takes precedence over the Flying Star Theory.

Ideally, the house must have a solid backing and water behind the house is very unfavourable even if you have a good Flying Star Reading.

Yes, you can do a Flying Star reading for each house. As I mentioned, Flying Star is "useless" unless you combine it with the Shapes and Form theory.

No Feng Shui theory can live in isolation.

Also you can make use of the Eight House Theory to find a house or avoid a house where the death or disaster line is located. This means that the house is unsuitable for the owner. (Even if the Flying Star looks great).

When we apply Feng Shui, it is advisable to apply each individual theory so that everything goes `right'.

Never do Feng Shui in isolation e.g. using only the Flying Star Theory. I know some Western Traditional Feng Shui School does nothing but Flying Star but this is simply like living in isolation.

It is ok to install the fountain as it means that there is a clear space at the frontage of the house.
