Hills to the Back
Feng Shui Tips
An ideal site plan
In Feng Shui theory, a building
is considered as having five basic directions
- east, south, west, north and centre, and
each of the directions is represented by a
celestial animals. Green Dragon in the east
symbolises river that delivers invisible flow
of fresh qi; White Tiger in the west
stands for road which brings visible traffic
of people and goods; Red Bird in the
south reflects the active yang energy
of the sun; Black Tortoise in the north
reverberates the stable yin strength
of protection, and Yellow Goblin at the
centre as Mother Earth.
With this in mind, it
is easy to understand why the ideal
arrangement of a house should be aligned so
it has open space in the south, a river in
the east, roads in the west and hills lying
to the north.
Generally
speaking, a verdant hill as the
backdrop for your house can help you
gain support and respect from your
co-workers and superiors. But if the
hill is rocky, barren or in a way
disfigured, such as being partially
made into terrace fields or
greenhouse (see the image below),
then you’re not going to get much
help from it, as its protective qi
is not intact.

In an urban
environment, a building that is taller than
that of yours could be considered as a hill.
Likewise, its structural shape and external
finishes will determine if its impact is to
be beneficial or harmful.
