I am NORTH , my husband is S/W and the main entrance of the house is facing SE.
We just purchased a table fountain for our living room. I am not too sure which of these
2 locations is the best to put the fountain,
S/E OR EAST. SE has a Bay window which is facing to our neighbor lamp post. I am thinking that if we put it there, in front of
the window, this way we will block the neighbor's lamp,but on the other hand, the living room door is facing right to the Bay window...is it O.K?
If I put the fountain on the East side of the living room, where my husband wants it, I am afraid that SE is bad for him (SE=disaster...)I tried to talk to him about
my belief of FS, but he doesn't believe at all...
Please let me know which of these 2 locations is the best for the fountain (SE or East)
Thanks again for all your help!!!

Dear Annie,
Here are the considerations:-
1. Since you have not mentioned where is the front door, avoid placing the fountain at the right side of the door.
I.e if you are standing at the main door and facing out of the house, the fountain should not be on the right side of the house.
Usually, the result is `wandering eyes' or illicit affairs e.g. of the husband.
2. If the fountain is small or tiny, its effect is minimal.
3. Can you elaborate about the lamp post? If it can be seen from the window (or tangent or perpendicular to it); this is a poision arrow.
To neutralise this, perhaps you can check out the conference: Photo Tours of Interest (with Pictures); Subject: What is the `Triangle Effect?' for the technique for it.
4. Alternatively, usually, Hong Kong Masters advise on the use of a fish tank to neutralise the lamp post. I have not seen your fountain but I believe, it can be used to some effect to neutralise the lamp post.
5. Another method is to use curtains. Based on the concept that you cannot see it, it no longer becomes a threat.
6. As for the fountain, I do not see any problem if it is placed at the East where your husband wants unless it is as stated under Para 1.
7. Usually, a fountain (especially) a large or larger one is used more to generate beneficial Qi. Contrast this to a fish tank which is commonly used to neutralise Sha qi or poison arrows.
In my final analysis, it is acceptable to place it at a location that your husband likes:) (Which is a more important consideration.)
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
