There is a direct relationship between houses and the roads that connect them. It has a significant effect on the well-being and the fortunes of the occupants of those houses. This is caused by Ch'i the all-encompassing life-giving force that permeates the universe. If allowed to flow freely, the Ch'i energy is positive. If allowed to stagnate, this energy becomes negative. It becomes very harmful when channelled too quickly along straight paths.
House Facing a T-Junction

When a house faces a T-junction, it is like a gun being pointed straight at the house. The T-junction acts like a funnel drawing negative energies towards the house.
The Effects
The occupants of such a house could suffer from poor health and may be accident-prone.
The Solution
If possible, reposition the front door so that it does not directly face the road running up to it.
