I'm thinking of building a house. I know that it is bad luck for a house to be located in the middle of an intersection (i.e., middle of a "T"). What if my house was built behind such a house (all else being equal), it this is OK?

Dear Christine,
If you have a sketch drawn; of the proposed house with roads and other features such as the surrounding i.e. are there greenery, is there a slope etc.. would be better as it is difficult to comment without all these inputs.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Attached are photos from the prospective of our potential house- a south facing door 1)view from the south (facing north) and 2)view from north (facing south). My house (south facing) will be near the little pole sticking up from the ground (on the south photo), but will in-line with the house to the right of the photo. The parking to the left of us will be removed and another house will be erected later. Currently, the parking is for model homes. There should also be a house behind us later, north side, and the road behind us will be running into that house on the north side. So, is our south-facing house OK to build? In front of our house, south side, will be houses facing us.

Photos are attached (view from north.jpg,view from south.jpg), plus neighborhood layout (layout.jpg). Earlier the photos were too big, and I got an error.
Thank you so much, this issue has been a heavy burden to me. Your advice would be sincerely appreciated.

Well, I thought I could cancel out of that last message and rewrite it, but the message still was posted. I hit CANCEL when at the download screen...
So, anyway, here finally is the layout.jpg.
Also, this is Phoenix Arizona, and there are almost no slopes in this area. Very little greenery as well - all trees are small and recently placed. No trees in the lot we are interested in. Thanks again!

Dear Chrinstine,
Many thanks for posting the three pictures. I now can better understand from the pictures:
1. The plot of land where your neighour's house is (i.e. behind your house) has sha qi.
2. As for your house, once, the neighbour's house is up and you have a fence, it will be shielded from the sha qi of the `T' junction.
3. I understand from the picture that there are no trees (as this is a new plot of land). Currently with no trees, the land has sha qi from exposed `wind'. I believe, as more trees are ground around the estate it would be ok.
4. Under Shapes and Form of Feng Shui:-
4.1 A single house should not be surrounded i.e. an `island' of roads on all four sides. But for the twin house (with two houses on each side of the road), it is still acceptable.
4.2 I noticed that the land is relatively flat the plus point is this is a rather "straight forward" area where as I mentioned above, grass, plants and trees, later on would be good.
On the whole, I believe, it would relieve you of your fears of the `sha qi' from the opposite side of the `T' junction.
In my opinion, I consider this house, an average plot.
In Feng Shui, most of the time we look at the dragon vein and check to see whether a location or estate, can accumulate wealth (overall) for the neighbourhood. This is more for those who are buying new plot of land or already built up housing.
This accumulation of `wealth' is symbolic of some of the houses that I mentioned under conference: Photo Tour of Interest such as the Meyer and Sterling. (However, these are condominiums but are similiar in analysis whilst these are analysed on a vertical spectrum, landed property are analysed on a horizontal spectrum - Shapes and Form).
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
