Feng Shui taboos for front doors: 12 Feng Shui taboos that must not be forgotten

In home Feng Shui, the front door is the air outlet of the house, the entrance and exit of wealth and foul air, welcoming good luck and sending away foul air. Therefore, the feng shui of the front door is very important and often plays a very important role. Let’s take a look at the Feng Shui taboos for front doors with Qili editor!

Feng Shui taboos for front doors

1. Avoid bending the doorpost

In home construction, people usually build the main door at the entrance of the wall, which is the main connection point between the house and the outside world. In the past, the gate and the wall were symbols of the identity and status of the owner of the house. Therefore, if the doorposts were tilted or bent, it would damage the dignity of the owner of the house. From the perspective of feng shui, a crooked doorpost will inevitably be unsightly, damage the dignity of the residents, and indirectly cause psychological unhappiness to the residents. If one is unhappy mentally, his spirit will naturally become confused, and problems will inevitably arise in the way he deals with people and things. At the same time, it will also have many adverse effects on the fortune and aura of family members.

2. The front door should not be directly opposite the window

If the front door faces the window directly, it will easily lead to internal energy leakage, difficulty in gathering wealth, family conflicts, and it will also easily lead to the situation of "front and back are connected, both people and wealth are lost". This can be resolved by setting up a porch at the entrance or arranging broad-leaved plants in front of the curtains.

3. Avoid having a large family

In Feng Shui, there is a saying: "A house with a large door but a small one is unlucky." In fact, no matter whether the house layout is large with a small door or small with a large house, it does not conform to the aura theory of feng shui. One reason is that the gate and the wall are integrated. The shape of the wall often varies depending on the identity, and the shape of the gate also varies depending on the identity and status of the residents. Therefore, according to the philosophical concept of ancient sages, if a luxurious gate is built that exceeds one's social status, it would be considered "unable to bear" and would inevitably bring bad luck. The second reason is that the front door is an accessory to the house. In architectural theory, the door is more conspicuous than the house and plays a supporting role. Therefore, in the theory of home feng shui, if the door of the house is large and the house is small, and they do not correspond to each other, then the fortune of the house will be relatively low and it is difficult to say that it has good feng shui.

4. The main door should avoid road collision

The first rule of feng shui for the front door is that there should be no road rushing in front of it. In feng shui, this is called "straight road in the void", which means that the front door is facing a road, which means loss of wealth. In ancient times, houses were all bungalows, and a house facing a straight road would be prone to accidents caused by passing vehicles, which was considered a very bad layout. However, modern buildings face the main road, and houses above the second floor should not be affected by passing vehicles. Does this mean it doesn't matter from a feng shui perspective?

From the perspective of aura, a building facing a straight road is vulnerable to the direct impact of the aura, which will invisibly make the people in the building physically weak and mentally dazed, thus affecting their careers, which will of course go from bad to worse.

The front door should not face a fork in the road, which means that as soon as you go out, you will see two forked roads rushing into the door. Feng Shui says this is a "scissors road". The crossed aura will affect the owner's decision-making and judgment. Under normal circumstances, the front door should face the cross road.

The front door should not face a dead end, because the airflow in the dead end will be blocked and not smooth, and foul air will accumulate, which will have adverse effects on health. It also symbolizes a dead end and closedness in career, which affects the psychology and leads to a lack of career development.

5. The view opposite the gate

The front door should not face the nearby chimney, because the chimney is where exhaust gas is discharged. Seeing the exhaust gas every day when entering and exiting the front door will make you psychologically uncomfortable. If the wind direction blows the exhaust gas over and you inhale it into your body, it will be even worse and will of course affect your health.

The front door should not face religious buildings such as temples and churches, because the latter represents clean air, which will affect the business of your store. Moreover, the lively atmosphere of the store will also affect the temples and churches, which will not benefit both sides.

If your front door is facing the door of the building opposite but is smaller than the other one, this is a bad layout and will seem like it is being eaten away. In this case, just put up a canvas awning in front of your front door and extend it to the sidewalk to change the situation.

The front door should not face the corners of other houses nearby. This was known as "corner evil" in ancient times. It looks like a straight line drawn by a knife, which is extremely ominous, harmful to health and wealth. From a modern perspective, if you stand at the gate and look out, half is the wall and the other half is open space. Psychologically speaking, it gives an unpleasant feeling of being cut in half. In terms of aura, the airflow between the two halves is completely unbalanced, which is not a good layout at all.

If a store's door faces the opposite corner of the house, the best way to make changes is to move the door slightly to the dragon side to avoid the corner evil. If it is the door of a modern building and it cannot be moved in this way, you might as well slightly change the angle of the door, make it ten or eight degrees off to avoid the corner evil.

The front door should not face a narrow alley between two buildings, which was known as "Heavenly Killing" in ancient times, as if a knife was drawn from the sky. It was said that the family fortune would be unlucky. From a modern perspective, the space between opposite high-rise buildings is an outlet that easily generates large airflows, commonly known as "through winds", which will affect the stability of the aura itself and of course affect health.

If your house is on a lower floor and there are tall buildings opposite, or your front door faces a mountain, it will be like a mountain pressing down on you, making it hard to breathe. This is bad for your health and wealth, and it will be difficult to develop your career.

In home Feng Shui, the front door is the air outlet of the house, the entrance and exit of wealth and foul air, welcoming good luck and sending away foul air. Therefore, the feng shui of the front door is very important and often plays a very important role. Let’s take a look at the Feng Shui taboos for front doors with Qili editor!

6. The front door should not face the balcony

The front door should not be located directly opposite the balcony, otherwise from the perspective of feng shui, it will be difficult to accumulate wealth in the home and there is a risk of losing money. The solution is to place a porch cabinet to separate the door and the balcony, place a fish tank or screen at the entrance of the door, or keep the curtains closed for a long time.

7. Avoid having two doors facing each other

Due to the limited area of ​​modern houses, it is very easy to have the front door of one's own house facing the front door of another house, which is called "opposite door evil" or "Suzaku evil". Lu Ban's Classic of Internal Medicine states: "Two houses should not face each other, or one of them will suffer decline; doors should not face each other, or one of them will suffer disaster." The most direct consequence of two doors facing each other is quarrels and conflicts. The big door will suppress the small door, the one with more people will suppress the one with fewer people, and the family with the small door and fewer people will suffer decline in fortune. Since one of the two doors is going to retreat, which one should be retreated? Generally, the family with a smaller door should move out; the family with a smaller space inside the door should move out; the family with fewer people inside the door should move out; and the family with a weak aura living inside the door should move out.

8. The front door should not face the sharp corner of the roof

If the front door faces the sharp corner of the roof of this house, it is like facing a sharp knife. It is not only extremely detrimental to the health of the people living in the house, but also affects the harmony between people and has a great impact on the family's wealth.

9. The front door should not face the window

If the front door can see the window opposite, the air inlet and outlet of the house are opposite to each other, air goes in and out, money comes and goes, so neither air nor money is gathered, which is a typical pattern of money leakage.

10. The front door should not face the kitchen

The kitchen (kitchen decoration renderings) is the home's treasury. If you see the kitchen as you enter the door, it represents financial loss, high expenses, family disharmony, and may even affect the health of the hostess of the house. If changing the door is not practical, you can try the following method.

11. The door should not face the bathroom

If there is a bathroom right at the entrance (bathroom decoration renderings), foul air will rush in directly, causing bad luck and affecting the health of the whole family.

12. The main door should not have a downward staircase

In modern (modern decoration renderings) houses, this situation often occurs: when the front door is opened, it faces the downward stairs (staircase decoration renderings). This is commonly known as "rolling curtain water" in Feng Shui, which will cause serious loss of money and energy.
