Cecil:
I have an open air porch in front of my house that
has 3 square pillars that help to hold up the
overhang that shades the porch. 2 of the pillars
are on either side of the main door to the house
and one of the pillars is to the far left of the main
door. I have heard that square pillars are bad
because the sharp corners send out shar chi. Can
you suggest a cure?

Dear Julie,
Thank you for your description.
In my opinion, it looks like your main door is not under any `threat'.
A `threat' is where one of the pillars seems to slice thru the main door i.e. if one stands at the main entrance looking out; one of the pillars should not be slicing into the main door area.
Overall, in my opinion also, the square pillars are of minimal or negligble `threat'. This is unlike the `mass' of a large building's edge.
In my opinion, it is perfectly acceptable in your situation (unless one of the pillars slice thru the main entrance door area). If this is the case, a 6 rod metal wind chime can be used above the main door. Or the placement of two potted plants on each side of the main entrance.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
