T-junction impact across river

[myfs_161620]

Dear Master Lee,

Recently i came across a nice terrace house that i intended to acquire. I have done a pretty thorough audit at the front of the house to make sure there is no Sha pointing toward the main door but only to find out that there is an inner road pointing at a certain angle as shown, toward the back of the house where a river located (see attached picture) The T-junction can be visible from outside at the balcony at the back of the house but not from inside thereof.

The distance from the T-junction to the house is approx. 60m and the width of the river is approx. 8m. Between the river and main road there is a landscaping area with plants. I would like to seek Master Lee's expert advice whether the aforementioned T-junction will have any impact to the house on the other side of the river. Please refer to the picture for better understanding. Appreciate much for your advice to my query. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the illustration.

These are some considerations:

1. The red arrow that you have drawn applicable to "Right-hand" drive cars.

2. Thus if this house is in the Commonwealth; then the red arrow applies. However, if this is Korea, US, France and many other "Left-hand" drive countries; then the red arrow is closer to the other side..

3. The test if there is a major concern or not is to visualise whether any vehicle be it a car, a van or a three or more tonner vehicle if lost control or driver drive straight and plough through.

4. In your illustration, the good news is that the rear of the home is quite a distance away! And furthermore, there is a canal to the rear.

5. Thus in my opinion, there should be little to worry about the rear of the house at a "T-junction".

6. But, wait! Caveat Emptor! Let the buyer or potential buyer beware!

6.1. One should really be concerned here is that there seems to be a large canal at the rear of the house.

6.2. If the canal is always dry i.e. water slightly less of a concern.

6.3. One has to really examine the flow of water in this canal e.g. left to right or right to left depending on the facing of the home. As well as how fast the water flows - based on the "Water classics".

In addition, unlike a high rise; this illustration shows that all homes have three alternate advantages "water or rainfall drainage" from the property out of the plot of land.

And often, this should also be looked into. See sample illustration.

This water classic consideration will also determine whether the water in the drain or canal at the rear of the house should preferably flow from the left to right or right to left of the house.

For example, if the home is a terrace house; and if the home was built from scratch, then it is not possible to consider the "2nd exit" point as mentioned in the attachment.

What is worst in this example is a situation where there is say a canal/drain at the rear or close to the rear of the house and water drains towards this canal/drain other than the orange coloured zone of e.g. 277.5 to 307.4 degrees in this example.
Thus in this example, there is a drain that drains water at 260 degrees towards the rear, then it becomes inauspicious. (Please note that this example is specific to one of the 15 directions of the frontage. And cannot be universally applied to say your potential home unless the frontage matches this example.)

If one does a search in this forum, there are more examples of this. For example; http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=17626&new=

Dear Master Lee,

Thank you for your well thought analysis and explanation and brings me to another layer of enlightenment about the Water Classics consideration. Below are a few points that i would like to seek Master's further clarification.

1. To be specific, the distance 60m mentioned earlier is roughly the distance between the exit of the inner road to the main road and the rear of the house. If it were to measure from the nearer side of the main road to the rear of the house, it is approx. 30m. That means to say the width of the main road is roughly 30m and the width of the landscaping area and the canal together is approx. another 30m. So under this condition, is the T-junction still regarded as safe from the consideration of distance alone?

2. The canal at the rear of the house is indeed a waterway that is part of the landscaping feature. I was told that in general, Sha Qi from one side of the river will be dissolved before crossing over to reach the house on the other side. Is this applicable in this case?

3. Even I have yet to confirm the flow direction of canal, i am interested in the Water Classics that you had enlightened me. I have followed the link you provided and understand the trigrams water enters (in the 1st Heaven sequence) and exits (in the last Heaven sequence) the house must NOT be of the same element i.e. if water enters in S, so it should not exit in NW. Comparing to the example provided below, my understanding is that the house is facing S2/S3 so canal is at the N2/N3 of the house, the auspicious direction for the water exit is either W3/NW1 if the canal flows from left to right or E1 if the canal flows from right to left. In this case, is the auspicious direction NW1 contradict to NW inauspicious direction as mentioned in the link you provided? Pardon me if i have not understood this topic sufficiently.

Thank you & best regards

House marked as A although is at a T-junction;

But the least affected by it:

1. House is set-back away from the main gate

2. There is another service road marked by B and C.

Marking C is where if a vehicle ploughs straight towards A.
