Dear Youqing,
1. Thank you for your sketch and clear description/details.
2. Based on Compass School Feng Shui, to me, it seems that it is unfavourable to have a pond at the location you had mentioned.
3. Given that you had shown the compass marking that the proposed pond is to be located somewhere at South-West. This is at the West/South-West sector which is at the `white tiger location'.
4. At the white tiger location, it is not advantages to have a pool as this could result in financial distress later on.
5. This is because, a pond your proposed kidney shaped facing the home looks much like a drooped or `sad' looking mouth.
6. Even if it is in the opposite direction or just a round pond, it is like opening up the tiger's mouth. And, this is where we do not want to wrongly activate such a beast. Here, it is symbolic of a `hungry tiger' devouring our wealth/happiness.
7. Plants are acceptable at the location but avoid, too many. Always, do maintenance with the plants/trees or shrubs.
8. If it were me, I would not touch this location. Furthermore, this year, the grand duke is at South-South West close to where you want to do such work. The grand duke does not like to be disturbed or touched e.g. digging earth etc... And one can get many years of bad luck.
9. In my opinion, for your case this saying holds true: IF IT AIN'T BROKEN ERH..... DON'T FIX IT!!!
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

My house sits in the middle of
a small slope which is higher
on the left (if I stand at the
main entrance facing out). My
front yard slopes down and
faces a road with moderate
traffic. I am thinking to
build a kidney shaped pond at
the right hand side of the
main gate. It will be
surrounded by three blue
colored spruce and a crabapple
tree at the farther right. I
have attached a draft of my
house.
I am also thinking to add two
same blue spruces by the
driveway to block out view
from the road.
My backyard is lower than the
front, which faces a beautiful
golf course and a morning sun.
Could you let me know if the
pond is good FengShui or not?
And what else should I be
cautious?
