One must always take care of the main entrance to his home as he would for his mouth to his body.
The source of misfortunes often originates from the mouth. The food we take and the words we use often result in irreversible consequences.
It is said that the success of the home thus lies in the order of the main entrance, its direction, orientation, location and its composition.
Good class homes are usually oriented to the North-South plane. When choosing a home, one should look out for inauspicious factors that may adversely affect the occupants at home.
Avoid homes with main entrances at the end of a road or cul-de-sac and watch out for pointed structures directly pointing to the main door such as a flag post, lamp post or a structural pointed roof.
Avoid living next to petrol stations, police stations, hospitals and places of worships. Besides the obvious dangers, places like these harbor negative energies due to the outpouring of problems arising from visitors which can prove too strong for everyday life.
Do not hang a mirror at the main door for this may confuse the energies vital to the home. A picture of a mountain there symbolizes obstacles before you leave home while pictures of flowers such as peonies may attract the wrong sort of attraction for the roving eye of the occupants.
Main entrances with a thoroughfare to another door or windows at the end of the home are better off screened with a divider to slow down the gushing energies form the origin.
Main entrances looking from inside out, with structures such as lights or trees on the left favors males while those with taller and more concentrated accents on the right favor females and strengthen the ladies of the house.
Depending on the location and direction of the main entrance, the flying star of the year can determine the success and afflictions of the occupants.
