The word sha qi if literally translated means noxious qi or evil qi or inauspicious qi. In this article I am writing about external sha qi’s.
How is sha qi represented in our environment?
Sha qi can be a jagged mountain, cliffs, pylon, straight incoming road, stagnant water, dirty water, a wrongly placed mountain or a wrongly placed water body. How this sha qi effects the property depends on its location and the direction.
However there are a few basic sha qi’s that can be avoided for every property.
-
A straight road coming towards the property (T-junction), properties located at a V or Y junction or dead end
This is extremely inauspicious especially if the main door also faces the incoming road directly. The problems the members of this house might face are fickle mindedness, instability, health issues, and accidents. It is even worse if a similar road exists behind the property.
-
A pylon/transformer/streetlight/satellite dish/branch of a tree pointing towards your main door/entrance
This is not considered good as it hampers the quality of the qi that enters your house. In advanced feng shui study, the location of these sha qi’s are used to determine the kind of effect it might have on the occupants of the house. These kinds of objects carry harmful energy and a site is considered best if it does not have any of these objects in any of the sides.
-
Living next to stagnant smelly water and drains
It is better not to live next to such water as it carries with it destructive qi. By drains I mean the huge water outlets nearly all tropical cities have to carry excess water out during heavy rains. Most of the times these drainage systems are dry. It is not advisable to live too close to these as the qi patterns here are too erratic for a house.
What does sha qi do?
If the sha qi is located in a good area then it reduces the qi quality of that area as well as the quality of feng shui of the property. If the sha qi is located in a bad area then it increases the inauspiciousness of that area and further reduces the quality of feng shui of the property. Here I would like to add that all sha qi’s are not bad at the same time, it is only during certain years, months and days that the sha qi might effect the property in turn effecting the people living in or using the property.
The main areas to check for sha qi are
1) Main door – It is best not to have any form of sha qi directed towards the main door. The main door is like our mouth; whatever enters through it affects the whole house.
2) Bedroom – this is a place to rest and rejuvenate, if there is a sha qi in this area it is likely to affect your peace of mind, health, relationship etc.
3) Kitchen – The kitchen represents livelihood. It is best not to have any sha qi in this area.
4) Study (especially if you conduct business from your house) – Depending on the kind of sha qi it might effect your business operations or finances.
