Olympic Feng Shui

Posted by admin on Thursday, 7 August, 2008

Everywhere you go you read about the Olympics and how China has spent so much time and money preparing for it. They will be using it as a ‘coming out’ party. One that will celebrate its new found place in the world.

If you go to any of the major cities, you will see impressive buildings in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Many of these have been built by Western architects and many actually go against the principles of Feng Shui.

Just the start of Beijing’s new skyline

Am not so sure how the occupants of these buildings and those around them will be feeling after a couple of years. This is because symmetry is very important to balance the Qi in any property. Although you do not have to have a perfect square (that would just be too boring), you should always try to have all the sectors present. Any missing sectors will directly affect the GUA of the property- basic Feng Shui 101.

But as always- aesthetics and the need to have a visual impact takes precedents over basic Feng Shui principles… Bah.
