This case study is also called “What’s Right About the Wrong House.” The reason for this alternative title is the essence of the case study.  We have Four Major House Types and one of them is called the Reversed House type.  This is a house type which is deemed, “bad for people/ bad for money.”

If you are new to Feng Shui, there are many layers to a house and one layer is determined by its age of construction and compass alignment. Just from this alone, without even dissecting the interiors, all houses begin their life span as one of the Four House Types.  This is an acknowledgement, like so many other Feng Shui observations, that people can be seriously and intimately impacted by the energy of where they live.

Now, this reputation for being “bad for people (health, relationships) and bad for money luck” is an exaggeration on several counts, which is fleshed out in the case study. True, it is the opposite of the “Wang Shan Wang Shui” house, which is liberally referred to as “good for people/ good for money.”

However, this case study gives a checklist of what else you need to factor in, in order to really understand what’s what and to not forget about priorities.

Excerpt below:

With each passing year of doing Feng Shui professionally, I learned that there are so many other things to be concerned with, that the status of a house being labeled “Reversed” is not the most important aspect to look at. And in fact, there are Reversed House types that are better than Wang Shan Wang Shui houses.

This is because a Wang Shan Wang Shui house may have so many other flaws, that it virtually cancels out or ruins the potential good nature of the house.

Ask yourself:  Would you rather live in a Wang Shan Wang Shui house in a bad neighborhood, with all kinds of environmental flaws that cannot be fixed on top of having negative flying star combinations in the important rooms and areas of the house?

Or would you rather live in a Reversed House in a beautiful environment, with the outside remedies in place and the best flying stars in the important rooms and areas of the house?  I would choose the Reversed House under those circumstances.”

This Case Study is full of photo examples, recommended adjustments to both the front and back of the Reversed House, as well as indicators for what constitutes non-obvious sitting and facing classifications. This is essential, to know for sure what the sitting and facing are for the house; otherwise, the whole premise of the Reversed House type will be confused and not remedied correctly.

Additionally, we have to consider the longevity of the Reversed House Type and how it changes when it transcends the Period it was built in.
