If you are standing on the steps of your main entrance door and look out and notice that the tree is in direct line `slicing' part of your main door, then this is considered sha chi.

Currently there are four methods of dealing with this (not in any order of importance):-

1. Change the angle of the door to face one of your best directions i.e. tilt the door to one that faces one of your good directions. This is said to `kill' two birds with one stone.

2. If your main entrance door is elevated, you can have semi-circular steps leading to the house. This is one technique of `radiating' sha ch' away from your main entrance.

3. Alternatively, if your main entrance is level to your external of the house, you could consider a specially made semi-circular carpet e.g. of half of a sun with it's fiery sunlight (spikes) radiating away from the main entrance door.

4. Hang a pakua above the main entrance door. To find out more, please go to this URL: http://www.3dglobe.com/fs/pakua.htm

Sorry, I hope you can further clarify regarding what you have said " the front window looking unto the half wall ".

My question is what is the half wall attached to? Is it because that your house is a basement flat that it overlooks the half wall?

My next question is that above the half wall can you have a clear view outside or must you say climb up a ladder to see it.

Frankly, a half wall is not so bad as it provides a certain level of privacy to the residents. In addition, if is better to use curtains for the window (if u not done so already.
