How we score

Chinese Fengshui Scores are calculated by scoring engines from DwellSoul.com. The scores are based on about 300 traditional Fengshui rules. Our fengshui readings are rule-based, traceable, and checkable. 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. See details at Why DwellSoul.

The fengshui scores of the properties in the catalogues of Fengshuiscore.com are based on the exterior characteristics of a property. After you log in, you can refine the home facts to include the interior characteristics of the property to further improve the reading. You can even add your family data to see how your family members are compatible with the property.

The armchair formation (山环水抱)
山环水抱the armchair formation
First pillar · form

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.

Reads as less settled

Falling away behind · exposed flanks · water draining off · a road aimed at the door.

Second pillar · compass

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.

The scale

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.

上吉Exceptional95–100
大吉Excellent85–94
中吉Strong72–84
中平Balanced55–71
小凶Cautious40–54
中凶Challenging20–39
大凶Severe0–19

A cautious home is not a bad home — it is one that rewards a buyer who plans the entry and the rooms with intention.

What the score is not
  • 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.
