My front door is not perfectly South however it is in that general direction but a few degrees more SE. The total loss direction for both my husband and I is South so I'm not sure if it's only a concern if the compass reads exactly South or not. If this could be harmful, is there a cure and what could I do?

The other thing is that we have a hillside to the right of our front door (about 12 feet from the side of our house) on our property which is filled with natural growth. Is this a bad thing pertaining to the sleeping tiger since it's on the right of our entry? It doesn't feel negative but I'm just want to be sure.

Thank you so much,
Staci

Aloha Staci,

The South direction covers more than just due South. Other than doing a little construction regarding the door direction, one can shift the door witha hexagram in certian situations, but not much. With what you've said about the degree of your front door, a hexagram would be able to shift it enough.

Another option is checking with a coach her at Learning Strategies regarding setting up a hexagram that will at least lock the front door direction on the best possible energy of within a range of degrees of the front door.

What that means, is that even though we won't be able to shift your door off the South direction with a hexagram in this case, the degree your door is on, and each of those degrees to the left and right "color" the energy coming in the door with a different intention. Marie gets into this in her Advanced Feng Shui trainings. So even thought South still stays your total loss direction, there may be a degree within a certain range of your front door's direction that can be shifted to, to at least give the energy a better influence as it comes in. A hexagram for that degree would be made and placed above the door to lock the door to that degree/energy.

It may not make sense to you, so call in and ask for a Feng Shui Coach at Learning Strategies and they'll help explain it.


As for the tiger...
You can look at putting something tall to the left of you as you stand at your front door. A plant, bush, statue, crafty thing, etc. so you have that height support right away as you step out.


Much Love, Shawn

Great, I'll do that! Thanks so much Shawn:)

And one last question with regards to the tiger. I read that I could hang a picture of a mountain just inside the front door to the left. Does it matter how far away the mountain is in the picture and if there's water in the picture with it?

Thanks again,
Staci
