Hello,
I have a question regarding the influence of rivers.
I will move to a new house ( I am a student and will share that house with four others) soon. The house is situated at a road (to the south of the building), but the main door is to the north (so you must walk around a corner to reach it). The main door faces a beautiful big garden. Behind that garden flows a big river. It flows to the east and is rather swift, with clear, green and cold water. I have read different views on the influence of rivers. Some claimed that a river takes good chi away from a house, others say that it is favourable. Which one is true ? Does anybody have experience on the subject? Maybe it is good to notice that the city I live in, Passau, is situated at the confluence of three rivers, two of which, Danube and Inn, are pretty big. They all flow eastward and the confluence isn't far from my new home.
Thank you very much!
Ingo

Dear Ingo,
Usually, a river head is like a dragon's head. And often a river location draws activity.
When water is concerned, it is considered inauspicious if:
1. it becomes a stagnat pool of water.
2. if the river seems to `cut-into' the development.

Yes, your city sounds very enchanting:)
3. Overall, based on your description, the building you live in sounds ok to me.
Often, it is the friction of water with air(even if it is on the surface of a river) that creates ions. Better if it is positive ions that are created.
