Location Of Bathtub

[myfs_88310]

Dear Master Cecil:
Are bathtub/shower stall and toilet considered to be water positions in a house?
Is it bad to have bathtub/shower stall in the south? According to the eight house chart, south is where "fire" is and water destroys fire.
Regards,
Anon

Dear Anon,
In pratical Feng Shui, practical because many of us do not personally design or develop the house ourselves.
In traditional Feng Shui, there are lots of houses which follow this strictly. For example, in many of the old houses (and even in Singapore) we can see toilets at North and a Ba Gua shaped balcony at the south (with a pointed roof).
However, since many of us cannot simply with our wimps and fancy change the placement of a toilet bowl and even the shower/entire toilet.
Given this situation, it is preferred that the toilet (at least) shares one external wall. Here, it means that the toilet is no longer at the centrepoint of the house.
What is equally worse-off is the toilet next to the main door.
Otherwise, usually, a toilet at South, not ideal but can still be liveable - especially if the house has good shapes and forms both external and internal.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
