Dear cecil,
My main door faces the east direction and there are low bushes in front of it. Since I read that one should not disturb the grand duke. I have not trimmed the bushes or removed the weeds. And they have grown too big and look terrible and as a result the path has become narrow. I wanted to know if it is ok to cut the bushes and weeds in the east or it will cause the bad luck. Thanks.

Dear Anon,
It is ok for you to thrim the bushes in front of your main door as you are not `disturbing' the earth i.e. unless you are digging the earth at the east location.
If you dig the earth, Symbolically place a metal object between the main door area. For example you can use a metallic foodtray or even a shovel on the wall. Metal will be able to shield the house and the trimming.
It is best not to let the bushes overgrow as this would bring a different set of inauspicous qi especially since it is at the main entrance.
Therefore, trimming does not distrub the earth.
If there is a major digging going on in the East, the best metal to use is to place a car/vehicle between the digging and the house.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
