I have just started learning about Feng Shui and have read in several places that it's bad to have your front door blocked. I live in a 140-year-old farmhouse and the front door is only used to get to the front porch. In the house, directly across from the front door is an enclosed staircase, so its door immediately faces the front door. There is just enough room between the two to open the front or staircase door. Just to the side is a third door, so the three doors form three sides of a box, leading into a room I use as my home office.
I can't get rid of the staircase, so what should I do?

Dear Diane,
It would be `nice' if you have a sketch of the front door area to better
appreciate the situation. Usually, it may not be all that bad as the front
door is `protected' from poison arrows. This is the plus point. However,
this is usually considered in relation to the entire house layout such as
the entry and exit points of `Qi' e.g. from windows, main entrance to the
back area and also to look at the `frontage' of the house.
Based on `Feng Shui' by intuition, if all along there is `peace' and harmony
in the home for the 140 year old house, the adage is "if it is not broken,
don't fix it". But if there is a `history' of problems or a common problems
for the house, then one can use Feng Shui such as the Flying Star to analyse
the house more closely.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
