Feng Shui Tools• Metal - bells and wind chimes - To enhance the
W/NW/N. They should have five or six hollow metal tubes.
• Plants and wood - To enhance the SE/E/S sectors. Silk fake flowers are OK.
• Crystals/ceramics/boulders - SW/Centre/NE/W/NW. Boulders are used for controlling negative influences such as toilets.
• Lights/candles - S/SW/Centre/NE. • Fish tanks and fountains - N/SE/E.• Compass - Use a good quality compass with a
strongly magnetic needle. A small compass is good for a quick check.
• Lo Pan is not necessary - only for advanced practitioners and consultants. It is hard to find a genuine one.

Applying the Lo Shu square to the building
In this example the front door is located in the east and faces south so the orientation of the building is south. This building has a missing corner in the southeast because the corner extends more than one third the width of the house.

What if the door is located at the side of the building? In this example the front door is facing west and is located in the southwest sector. This would be better for a West group person than a door facing south. If you have a front door at the side of the house you must make sure that there is a very well defined path leading to it. Line it with shrubs and lights to lead the positive energy to the door.

What if the front door is at an angle? In this example, the front door has been angled to the east to suit an East group person. The general orientation of the building is still northeast/south west however, making it a West group house.

Sometimes a building has a protruding corner. This is not so large that it creates missing corners in other sectors. In this example wealth luck, which is associated with the southeast would be enhanced.

Irregularly shaped buildings pose something of a problem. Which parts are protruding, which parts are missing? You just have to make your best guess and then see how it works out. In this example, the southwest and northwest corners are almost completely missing .

Some geomancers prefer to use the compass rose to determine the various sectors in awkwardly shaped buildings. You can try using both methods to determine the positions of the sectors and see where they coincide. Those would then be good places to locate the enhancing elements.
