A few days ago, I was asked whether the floor number (层数) is a consideration in Fengshui. At present, there are still quite a few practitioners who select or assess units based on the floor number. Briefly, the methods use are generally based on the Producing and Controlling (生克) relationship of the Five Elements (五行) to determine the auspicious floor numbers.

Previously, I have highlighted some common external Sha (外煞) which are best to be avoided when selecting an apartment unit. However, if one’s current home unfortunately faces such external Sha, what five fundamental aspects one should know?

This is an apartment unit which belongs to 平安宅, neither receives Auspicious or Inauspicious Qi (没有大吉大凶). The unit sits Wu (午) face Zi (子). The occupants move into the unit in year 2003. Original interior furniture are marked accordingly. Though experiencing neither major Auspicious or Inauspicious, to what extent is the unit 平安?

This is a 9th floor corner unit of a HDB. The occupants move into the unit in 2002. Based on the surroundings, is one able to assess the Wealth and Health situation of the unit? One should remember that the opening of the Fengshui classic 《青囊序》is “杨公养老看雌雄，天下諸書對不同。”.

In an urbanized society, it is common for most people to stay in high rise apartments or condominiums. Where Fengshui is concern, what are the considerations to pay attention to when choosing a suitable unit? Below are three common issues face by most apartment owners or would be buyers.
