Yin and Yang:

Overlooking a washing line

The situation
Windows are facing somebody else’s garden and looking at their washing line, which is closer than 30 meters (100 feet).

The effects
This gives too much Yin if the clothes are women’s underwear. It has bad implications with relation to money running through your fingers.

The solution

Put curtains on either side of the window; you need not keep them drawn. Avoid the temptation to spend money unwisely.

The Green Dragon and the White Tiger

The Dragon relates to the left-hand side, symbolising power. The Tiger relates to the right-hand side, symbolising negative qualities. Just as you have two sides of the coin, light and dark, and so on, so one side of the house belongs to the Tiger and the other to the Dragon. You try to shift the balance in your favour by placing more things on the Dragon side to enhance power. In general, accentuate the positive influence of the Dragon by placing important items on the left-hand side of desks or the left-hand side of a room (as you enter through its main door), for example.

This influence can be shown in the position of your home in relation to other houses. Looking out from the door of the house, to the left, the predominating influence is of the Green Dragon, which is the masculine. Its feminine counterpart, the White Tiger, rules on the right-hand side.

If the houses to the right of your house stand taller or closer together, or there are more houses to the right than to the left, the White Tiger predominates. This indicates that the women of the house have greater influence. There is no need to try to aim for a perfect balance between these influences, but you may find the following examples amusing if you assess the likely circumstances of the houses you pass.
