Today on field, we were reviewing a 4 storey office that was previously owned by a business owner. As we go through the floors from bottom to top, we noted many religious ornaments and ‘feng shui’ features can still be found among the inherited furniture.
We were on the top floor when I noticed a warning triangle that was left behind beside a window. I was thinking to myself that it seems like an odd place to place a warning triangle…
Someone said the previous owner might have intended for this small triangle to block out the bigger triangle facing them. I burst out laughing.
Not all pointed objects are Sha Qi. A triangle is only a shape.
However, in ancient Egyptian culture, a triangle stands for salvation to the Egyptians. Maybe that is the reason why King Cheops built the huge pyramids on the plateau of Giza for his people. In this case, it is an ‘auspicious’ triangle.
Maybe it can be even be used as a table mountain?
Hello Kent,
I wonder if the Pyramids were the reason Egypt became barren or maybe even death of its once glorious civilization…
As for linked houses with the above designs, I have seen some houses using a round mirror with a pair of scissors attached as ‘feng shui’ method to overcome the opposite ’sha’. If the opposite neighbour takes it as offensive, and retaliate with the same method, then, where is the peace and end to this ’sha’? I really wonder the mindset of people nowadays…

This reminded me of one occasion many, many years ago of someone recommended to have a pair of scissors be placed on every work desk in a pencil holder, pointed upwards and opened (looks like a ‘V’). The reason was because the ceiling has lines and it looks like a net and the scissor is to “cut” the “net” to “free” the people working beneath it. They are so creative. What can they think of next…..
cheers,

Dear Audrey,
I don’t have the answer to that. But 3 notable points:
i. The pyramids were built sometime around 2589 to 2566 B.C.E. I believe after this time, Egypt was still 1 of the top civilisations in the world.
ii. A key factor in Feng Shui analysis is the water of an area. For Egypt, the Nile river is the main ‘water dragon’ that travels from South to North to the sea.
Though still meandering in the same cardinal direction, the Nile has deviated slightly over thousands of years. Some of the places it covered previously have become dry land. This might have affected the Feng Shui of their ancestors burial.
iii. The land in Egypt is not productive ie. sand.
You may wish to locate an earlier blog by Vin on Egypt in which he mention some key points of the place for your information purposes.

You may want to reseach on the 3 Giza Pyramids. Their entrances were opened facing north. Chinese civilization preferred their buildings’ entrances facing south. It was definitely influenced by the river flow. The placement of the 3 pyramids were aligned with the Orion. Orion also has 3 stars in the middle facing towards north. Coincidental? Perhaps not. These two great civilizations practised this art of alignments. It is telling us something, isn’t it?
Usually the change in the river course is one of the main factors affecting a civilization; or in modern context an economy. You may want to trace the happenings to Singapore economy after the river mouth was moved from the Merlion Park location to the current Marina Barrage. Same thing happened to Hong Kong when they moved it by reclaiming land outwards.
Hello Kent and Vin,
Now my interest is certainly piqued. Back to the drawing board re Egypt geography and Singapore river course.
Thanks!
