How we score
Two pillars, one 0–100 scale. We read the land and the home the way a feng shui practitioner would — and tell you the reasoning in plain language. No mysticism, no fortune-telling, no fear. The score is descriptive, not predictive, and it is not financial or real-estate advice.
峦头 Landform
luán tóu — the form school
The shape of the land the home sits on: higher ground behind for support, embracing arms to the sides, an open bright hall in front, and the way water and roads gather or rush past. The classical ideal is the armchair — backed, flanked, and open ahead.
Reads as supportive
Rising ground behind · embracing sides · gentle, gathering water · a calm approach.
Falling away behind · exposed flanks · water draining off · a road aimed at the door.
理气 Directional energy
lǐ qì — the compass school
Which way the home faces, and the energy map that follows. Using the facing direction and the era it was built, the engine derives the Eight Mansions (八宅) and the Flying-Star chart (玄空飞星) — a room-by-room read of where favorable and challenging energies fall.
What goes in
The facing bearing (magnetic) and the building era — the period that sets the chart.
What it captures
The palace each direction belongs to, and which sectors the era favors or strains.
One scale, seven grades
Every home lands on the classical seven-grade ladder (七等) — three favorable grades, a balanced center, and three of caution. They group into three families: favorable, balanced, and caution.
A cautious home is not a bad home — it is one that rewards a buyer who plans the entry and the rooms with intention.
- Not a prediction of the future, and not luck or fortune-telling.
- Not financial or real-estate advice.
- Not a substitute for an inspection, an appraisal, or your own judgment.
Feng shui is a cultural and design tradition. We present it with respect — and without claims it cannot support.
The masters are AI — and we say so
The reading you can talk to is an AI persona grounded in classical texts — not a real person, and we label it as AI. The score comes from the engine's rules; the master explains it, and never invents it.
Property facts
Beds, baths, square footage, year built. Characteristics only, never owner information.
