Posted February 4, 20178 yr We have a full length mirror and wanted to place it on a side wall near the front door (not in front of door). Is this ok?
February 4, 20178 yr Staff There are two ways of looking at it: A. Applying the science of Feng Shui:- 1. Mirrors and Compass School (Flying Stars) Feng Shui. Refer to this illustration:- 1.1. At marking "A", there are nasty stars Mountain Star #5 (misfortune/sickness) combined with #2 (sickness). Thus, placing a mirror at markng "A" can bounce back twice the bad luck. 1.2. Markings "B" and "C" are close to the sector with the double #8's = current prosperity wealth stars. B. Common sense and "our personal space" & proximity of mirrors when we enter a premises. Often, placing a mirror in close proximity may "scare" a person. For example, just imagine, returning home late. And for some to suddenly encounter an image of self.. may scare the person. A mirror a distance away such as the above marking "C" would have less of such an effect as it will not be close to a person's "personal space". Fortunately... once a person or family member is familar with the mirror; this would not be a non-issue.

This is because, when we walk into the home from the main entrance; and since not many would often close the kitchen door so often or even if so and it is a clear glass door; 3. A mirror at marking "X" would literally reflect the view of the kitchen/service yard area. 4. As mentioned in the eariler thread, for some, when they walk past the mirror if mounted at "X" may encrouch into their "personal space" and may get scared to see another person "right beside" them. 5. Some pet dogs or cats may even suddenly see another "dog/cat" in that mirror at "X". 6. While mirror at marking "C" is a distant away. And less threatening as it is not within our immediate space. Many Interior Decorators recommend a mirror at "C" simply because it gives the illusion of a bigger house. Thus, based on common sense alone, it is still pausible for a mirror, here (at marking "C").
