Dear Anon,

The main principle to remember is:

"If one no longer sees the poison arrow(s) it no longer becomes a threat."

Thus, if the container of sand is high enough, between the `offending' poison arrow and the home it is considered effective.

Usually, Feng Shui practititoners do not normally use EARTH is because, this can be risky considering the `Five Yellow' or the inauspicious Flying Star 5 (for misfortune).

One must remember that in a Flying Star Chart, the occurence of 5 is 3 times e.g. it `appears' once for the Mountain Star, one time for the Water Star and one time for the Base Star.

If there are any further inauspicous combinations plus a person adding more `Earth' or sand, it may cumulate to a recipe of enhancing this `Five Yellow' and causing Misfortune.

With this reasoning, you can see why it is always safer not to use EARTH.

Hope the above helps.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
