Many dream of owning a piece of property facing the unobstructed sea view in front of their home 无敌海景 . For some it is the ultimate symbol of finally making it to the top of the rat race. But having sea front property, is it all equal or all the same?
The crucial factor is what is on the opposite of the view. If you have a seafront property, and in front there is absolutely nothing but the sea and an open horizon, then actually the open sea from Feng Shui principle is counter productive. Qi of the area cannot be retain and therefore on the major setup has Qi dissipating quality. Much will be lost in 12 years or less.
It would NOT be useful, if you make it all the way to the top and bought a house that can possibly make you lose it all in 12 years!
When prospective client call me sometimes they would like to ask me over the phone, what do you think about hill in that area, the lake, the mountain etc. This is because in most cases they think the area will have a big impact on their Feng Shui when they plan to buy an apartment or a house in a housing estate - MACRO Feng Shui. MOST of the time you do not have a choice, partly because home owner choices are determined by their budget.
But when you think about it in MACRO way and logically, if the area has 200 multi-millionaires staying together, would the area have bad Macro Feng Shui for creating financial problems for people staying in the area. It wouldn't. Why? Because these 200 people would have really strong 10 years luck to be able to 1. Afford the property in the area 2. Able to sustain living in the area.
The biggest problem is, knowing that area has good MACRO Feng Shui, would we be able to afford a home in that particular spot? So for Macro Feng Shui, you don't need to ask a Feng Shui Master. Just drive around your state or province and you can quickly learn about properous natural macro feng shui setup. Just follow the money trail....
Since this article is about sea front property. As I stroll around the neighbourhood this morning, suddenly inspiration came for me to blog about the Feng Shui of this particular row of sea front bungalow.
Sea front or water front, first and foremost criteria is that we have to observe whether the formation have sentimental formation 有情水 or unsentimental formation 无情水. If sea front then we have to look at whether what is opposite to your direct view of the sea. Is it open horizon? If hills and mountain, is it far away or near? These are the basic criteria to observe, of course there are other secondary ones to look out for, but for the sake of this post we will start with these 2 criteria.
These particular sea view bungalows are located at Seri Tanjung Pinang, Penang. Commonly known as Straits Quay area. The latest listing I have checked online is RM15,000,000 for 1 unit (about USD 4.3 million). http://www.propertyguru.com.my/penang/tanjung-tokong/bungalow-for-sale?property_type=B
The sea formation in front is quite sentimental, slow sea water - largely because it is situated on the NorthEast of Penang Island, and opposite the island is a curve formation of mainland.
This is the panoramic view that I have manage to capture. The right hand side facing the sea is actually where the sea view bungalows are located. Center of the photo is actually the 90' to the left and to the right from where I stood. When you are standing from the bungalow and looking towards the sea, you can see hills and mountains on the opposite side. There is no open horizon, all the qi are retained in the nice curve if we look at the satellite image above.
Each section of the front is captured.
Directly opposite these bungalows on the other side.
From left to right, the whole area qi is retained and protected. Definitely a good sentimental formation. And it ought to be if you are paying RM15 mil per house!.
Then the next question would be, if I stay in these type of house, would I be even more prosperous? Answer would be: It depends. If your chart can take massive amount of a particular type of element, and this setup happens to provide you what you need, then DEFINITELY it is a worthy buy. In the olden days, they have a phrase - if a particular Feng Shui setup is really 1 in a million that suits you, then even if you have to pawn off everything up including your underwear, then you must get it.
HOWEVER, if your destiny cannot take this particular setup of Qi, staying in it for even 12 months would be disastrous!
This is just the Macro side of Feng Shui, then whether the owner has maximize the qi setup inside the property would account for 60% of the overall Feng Shui quality of the house and its effect on those people living in it.
With the above information, I think you can safely know the answer to whether water equals to money in Feng Shui. This is the last article for 2014. Wish everyone have big aspirations for being able to find and live in superior Feng Shui setup in 2015 and beyond.
Until then...Have a phenomenal year ahead!
