In the Feng Shui Tips and Tricks, what I mean is that when placing a wind chime, especially if it is a metallic wind chime, one must be especially cautious if placed in locations of the general metal element such as NW or West.

Two other locations such as NE (devil's main gate) and SW (devil's back door) must also be noted.

It is not that one must not place it there but rather, take care especially if no FS audit has been conducted.

Usually, this is done in relation to the Flying Star analysis to ensure that there is a balance at this sector.

Frankly, if it serves no purpose and since it hardly tinkle: this is considered good and bad.

Good because, being ever hardly tinkle, usually the metallic tinkle is not heard at all and thus, it is not activated.

"Bad", hmm.. since a full audit has not been conducted... not sure if there is an imbalance caused with it but usually, since it is of the metal element... it is much better than using other elements that may cause an imbalance.

I personally feel that this advise is not related to Traditional FS advise, unless the consultant has related it to the sector and can mention that since the yellow coloured mud pot (which in my opinion represents) earth element is used to counter another element which is causing an imbalance. I.e. yellow (earth)is thus used to counter such an imbalance.

I take this more as a `decoration' since, usually such a small quantity may not give an impact to the location.

Under the Shapes and Form School of Feng Shui, the significance of a missing area can be seen from the following:-

https://www.geomancy.net/fs/building.htm

You have to properly determine whether indeed is it a real missing corner:-

1. It should normally be more than 1/3 or 33.3 percent of the area of a sector.

2. One should confirm whether instead of it being a missing corner.. could it be a protrusion?

The significance under the Shapes and Form School of SW which is not fame corner but rather... constant bad luck... occuring ...

3. Usually, mirrors are placed on each side of the wall to give the illusion of extending it.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
