Dear Cecil:
After a 6 month search, I am about to buy a new house! Finally, me (metal dog) and my wife (earth monkey), we found what we were looking for. BUT, when I started looking to the house on a Feng Shui perspective (as a total amateur, I must - unfortunately - add…), and, among other Feng Shui related subjects (on which I will probably ask for the forum’s kind advise further on), there is one thing that, prior to any other, is concerning me: the house is rectangular, but in a very long and narrow type of rectangle. The long part of the house points (more or less) towards North and South, which makes that the other directions, on the narrow side, especially East and West directions, are almost absent.
Now, my wife’s best direction is North, and that, I presume, is good, because there is a good space in the house falling under that line, but, on the other hand, my best direction is East, and there isn’t much space in the house within that direction. Plus (and I am still on a very initial stage of the audit of my possible future home) I think that the front door is on my death line and on my wife’s disaster line (if it is not exactly over the line, its on their area of influence…). The good part of this is that the bedroom , living room and the kitchen, the areas where we spend most of our time are all in positive areas for both of us, or at least in those rooms, there is always a part of them that falls under the influence of a positive area for both of us, and this seems to be good.

I would like to ask you if, taking in consideration this small amount of information, you could please advise us on this. Do you think that one thing (narrow form, death and disaster line over front door) ‘compensates’ the other (most used parts of house in good directions)?, and if there are any remedies on this. If the information is not enough please contact, and I will provide whatever necessary. thank you very much in advance.
