As said earlier, we don’t want very fast or slow moving Qi to enter our home; in fact, the type Qi that we all need – or rather want – to enter our houses is the moderately moving one and that’s because a really fast moving Qi brings in lot of anxiety and an extremely slow one brings lethargy.

Now, in order to have such a Qi enter our home and have a balance of 5 elements, we need to feng shui our house’s entrance and here’s how to do it! (in do’s and don’ts format)

Feng Shui Home Entrance – The Poison Arrow Angle

Poison arrows are one of the worst things that can point to your home; they tend to alter the movement of calm and positive Qi to a fast and rapidly moving one; and that’s what we – definitely – don’t want to get into our home.

But there’s something more bad about poison arrows and it’s that they’re present in many shapes, ways and forms;

Here are some:

1. shape edges from another building
2. staircase in front
3. cemetery near entrance
4. Light pole in front of main door

And those are few – in fact – very few.

But that’s certainly not the end of the world as there’re remedies that you can apply if you ever happen to live in a home that’s got poison arrows aimed at it.

Now, depending upon the direction from which the poison arrow is coming towards your home, you need to apply the remedy.

Again, for ease of understanding and simplicity, I’ve created a table that’ll reveal to you the remedies that you can – and must – apply in case you find a poison arrow towards your home.

Here’s the table:

Direction	Element To Use	Item To Use
North	Earth or Wood	Place a or crystal
South	Water or Earth	Place or a crystal
East or South-East	Metal or Fire	Place a or light
West or North-West	Fire or Water	Place light or water fountain
South-West or North-East	Wood or Metal	Place plants or wind chime
