Hi,

You can still use your backdoor. However, in Feng Shui, the frontage is equally important in the assessment of the house.

The frontage is where this is generally the front of the house. The main door may not be at the front of the house. It can be at the side.

The analysis here is to go into the home to see the natural lighting conditions. It would be ideal if natural light filters into the house. The house should thus not be totally dark all the time. (What I mean is that during day light hours, it should have some light going into the house.

Many people in Singapore who live in " Government Housing Board Flats " would realise this: Light filters in most of the time from their windows rather than from the main door. Here, some Feng Shui Masters may at times consider the window area/wall e.g. the living room area as the `main entrance' where Qi comes in rather than the main door.

Here, it is good to understand the above. This is where, one advise is to have alternat e or diagonal windows opened so that Qi do not flow in and immediately exit out thru the kitchen windows but rather allow it to meander or circulate in the house.

For Feng Shui audits, it is normally the tradition to still consider the actual main entrance door when e.g. using the Flying Star analysis.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
