A swollen stomach is caused by excessive Water over Earth.
(Xuán kōng mì zhǐ)
風鬱而氣機不利
A withering scenery yields no sign of liveliness.
(Fēi xīng fù)
火暗而神智難清
A dying fire fosters an unclear mind.
(Fēi xīng fù)
密雲不雨,自我西郊。
商舖風水 二之傷心 Café/ Heart Breaking Café

友人揾舖搞飲食生意,不聽老人言,今回選了八運坐東向西座向(見圖),一連數次選址已露其運程端倪。今云選址有何不好?不計年星及飛星,當中有兩點致命:
- 有去水無來水兼不聚水
- 向頭兌、坤兩宮大動土
熟悉此區都知道此段路甚為「吊腳」,店舖鮮有長年長做長有,駕車人士也知此路段為加速上公路,對面公園出入口與店舖正門並不相通。當日對面泳池重建,當真數十年難得一遇,人們不禁要問:「世上已無舖可覓?」結果租下來發現入則有問題,正門或要從大街內移入大厦內,浪費時間金錢,遑論明堂窄,納氣不足等問題。順帶一提,位處破軍龍,只宜大眾化事業(該路段現有幼稚園、工會中心、街坊福利會、郵局、診所、議員辦事處、輪軚店),食肆如走高檔路線,不合,「聽執」(結業)。
一年後乙未年某日路過該址,原先封了圍板的入口解封了,門面似乎也完成了裝修;再數月後,該舖換上旺舖招租廣告,真乃出師未捷身先死,後得小道消息結業之死因:
- 創業者貪平租,地產經紀錯誤引導,誤以為該舖可做食肆,誰不知不但圖則有錯,下層停車場更令消防條例變得嚴苛,增加開店裝修時間及難度;
- 申請食肆牌照公司經驗不足,將法團申請推到最後(本應為初期先行事項),想先裝修來個硬上弓,結果賠了夫人 …… 又或許根本從來就沒聘用牌照顧問。
風水奇則「呂字廳」 “Miraculous” floor plan

香港寸金尺土,奇則(蹟)難免。圖中上排左二是另類風水奇則「呂字廳」,中宮收窄兼轉向,氣雜不純,並不可取。筆者在「藏品」中選了數張別具心思的作品公諸同好。古代居所一如現今村屋,方正為主,如果有斜邊或呈圓狀,放置家具便費剎思量。從風水方面考慮,非方正多視為「缺角」,影響居者,至於影響誰和顯出甚麼效應,可以從方位與人倫關係上審視。有缺相對自然有凸,如何決定是何者則不能一概而論,如果是父母子女同住,通常取四正向方正圖則單位較少出現問題,而避免另類風水奇則「呂字廳」。
Given the scarcity of land resources in Hong Kong, real estate developers try their very best in maximizing the floor plan efficiency & it is not uncommon to see their miraculous works from time to time. Ancient Chinese residence shape was mostly rectangular & so as the town house in New Territories nowadays. Should there be any tilted lines & round corners, residents would have a hard time arranging the space within. In Geomancy, it is considered non rectangular floor plan usually would have “missing corner(s)” & its effect would depend on which part is missing. The missing part would then in turn reveal which member in the family will be affected. In a relative sense, a shape with missing corner could be viewed as bulging for others & there is no simple way to define which is which in general. For a more conservative approach, choosing a rectangular shape floor plan with a NS or EW bearing would be a safe choice for married couple with kids. The second floor plan counting from left in the top row is not a desirable choice. There are two reasons at least: a) squeezed in the middle & b) bearing change, the different mix of Qi in a unit.
