Thanks for your graphic file. It is very clear.

Yes, it is very inauspicious to place the bed on the same wall as the toilet. Furthermore, on the stretch of your master bedroom, there are two sets of toilets. This is extremely bad qi.

There is another `problem'. As you mentioned that the house main door is facing South-East which is the wood element, overall, this house is considered a Wood house.

Under the Five elements concept, Wood fuels or feed fire. As you mentioned that you are a strong Fire person, this additional wood element further ignites your strong Fire person creating further imbalance. This would explain the problem that you face.

Similarly your husband would face some "problems" because although the SE house is Wood element which is good for him, the Wood element at South East is called a `small wood' or equvalent of a `plant'.

You are thus affected because you are already a strong fire and a even small wood can affect you.

The first thing both of you could seriously consider is to shift the bed towards the opposite side of the room. Even if there is a door, this will be much better than having your bed against the toilet wall.

In Feng Shui, we have to look at the two `evils' and if one is less damaging, go for this `cure'. However, you can always have a low linen cabinet between the bed or a small screen or even a bedside table and place a table lamp. This is symbolic of a screen between the bedroom door and your bed.

I have not checked but see if in this position, you can sleep facing one of your good directions.

Currently my analysis takes into account the Eight House and Shapes and Form School as I do not know much about your home in relation to the Flying Star. But overall, from what I can suggest:-

1. It is much much better to place the bed away from the wall of the toilets. Furthermore, at this side of the wall, there are two toilets. The qi from this two toilets on the `left' side of the graphic file can have quite an impact on that side of the wall.

2. Where possible, try to close the master bedroom toilet door when not in use. At the same time, try to keep the toilet bright and airy.

3. You are a strong Fire element and the house is a wood element house. You should further balance your strong Fire element with Earth.

Water and Metal.

In terms of relationships, your husband when he is around will help you reduce the strong Fire. But in terms of `cures', for your home, you need more water and metal.

This is because water exhausts fire and will reduce your strong fire and hopefully control or balance it.

At the same time, metal will help your husband to balance his strong earth. Metal will help water and inturn help water to `destroy' your excess fire.

Overall, you can use:

1. colours
2. anything symbolic of water or metal element.

If you are using colours, the ideal colour for your home (whole house) is white representing the metal element. For your room it can be white with e.g. bedsheet of blue, grey or shades of black representing water element.

The above are ideal colours and it is only a suggestion. If your house is not in the above colours, do not spent money (as it is never my intention for anyone to spent money but rather to explain what is overall best for you in the future should you decide to paint the house).

Avoid the colour Red, pink or purple especially in your bedroom. This applies to you. For your husband, avoid yellow colour or beige colour representing Earth element. If your home is painted yellow throughout, in the future, I suggest, white is the best colour for both of you.

Colours can also apply in your dressing.

More importantly, currently, the most important thing is to see if you could redress the bedroom area. As I mentioned, you could alternatively use white or blue, grey bedsheet.

Do feedback further on the above or provide me a description of the colour scheme in your home if it is not any of the above.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
