Remote feng shui audit using Google Street View

Use Google Street View for feng shui purposes

For many years, I have been using the Google Earth aerial view to remotely determine the compass reading of a property. Google Earth displays True North on the top edge of its photo, but then records the longitude and latitude coordinates at the bottom of the page. With this information, I will go to the National Geophysical Data Center website to find the magnetic declination of the area being observed.

Aerial photographs give insight into what consultants may not even know when conducting a personal assessment, such as which neighbors have a pool that could affect another property, such as a large piece of water.

Recently, with Google Compass, if you keep clicking on the way to the end, you can see the comparison between True North and Magnetic North on the last page, which they call "compass". "In classic feng shui analysis, use The compass is crucial for proper reading. Quoting the feng shui historian, practitioner and writer Stephen Skinner: "The guide is a telescope for astronomers. "

Although I appreciate these aerial photos, I still lack something. Google Street View is another great app that fills in the missing parts when doing remote analysis. Google Street View captures scenes on the street, and you can move the view to see related properties, up and down the street and across the street.

This is an important feature of Feng Shui analysis. For example, some homes benefit from a face-to-face higher land area. If there is a slope up, a real mountain, or even a stone wall of a neighbor across the street, these are natural effects that can affect the health and well-being of the occupants. Google Street View can be used to verify things that are invisible or easily visible from aerial photographs, such as the height or density of nearby trees, hedges, and other landscape elements. The natural environment near the house or building can play an important role in manipulating or supporting the airflow.

It is also possible to evaluate man-made features, such as the roof line pointing to an attribute or statue, and something that is only invisible from the air.

For the visual "sand", there are still some things to say. The word "sha" refers to a condition that is offensive, ugly, lost or may threaten a person's health or mental outlook. With Google Street View, you can sometimes see the condition of the house, if there is any damage to the structure, what external colors are used, and all the visual effects at the ground level and closer to the distance provided by the aerial photos. As another example, from the aerial photos alone, it is not always possible to see how many stories are in a building or house, but Google Street View clearly shows this. There is always a relationship between the structure and their comparative height issues.

These are essential tools for feng shui practitioners and can provide advice remotely. Of course, a person can take a photo of himself and provide it to a consultant. But for a variety of reasons, Google Street View can provide instant information, especially if potential buyers or tenants are not in the vicinity of the property, becoming the eyes of long-distance feng shui consultants.

Street View images also help find the exact address of a property when the Google Earth pin has just landed in the center of the street.
