Road Pointing at Your House? Understanding External Sha in Feng Shui

Let’s Keep It Real

In feng shui, anything outside that creates a sense of unease is considered Sha (challenging energy).

What to Notice 🎯

Stand at your window and look out:

Road Rushing 🚗

A straight road points directly at your window.

The feeling: A sense of energy rushing toward you.

Sharp Angle Sha 🔪

A building corner from across the street points at you.

The feeling: A pointed, directed energy.

Sky-Cutting Sha 🪓

A narrow gap between two buildings faces your window.

The feeling: A slicing or dividing energy.

💡 Golden Tip

If something outside feels unsettling, simply closing curtains can help.

Feng shui principle: What you don’t see has less psychological impact.

The simplest way to work with external sha is to reduce its visual presence. When it’s out of sight, its psychological effect diminishes.

Feng Shui Practice

Stand at each window in your home
Look outside—is there anything that creates tension?
If yes, consider using curtains or plants to soften the view
