The ease or difficulty in conceiving a child can often be linked with the feng shui blueprint of a house. Some house types undermine the occupants getting pregnant, and yet the remedies are a lot less expensive than any kind of medical intervention!

What is it about a house that can cause a fertility problem?

Sometimes a house will go through a phase that is called “locked” or “imprisoned.” Even good feng shui houses can go through this phase at some point in time. This “locked” house can make it difficult for another person (such as a baby) to join the household. If two people move in, then that is the number of occupants the house is limited to. As well, if a single woman moved into this house during its locked phase, it would be difficult for her to solidify a relationship to where a man would move in with her.

For those who are new to metaphysical topics and feng shui in particular, the larger discussion, beyond the scope of this article, is of course regarding the whole phenomenon that people can actually be influenced in such profound ways by “inanimate” objects, such as a house.

This locked phase can last for one year or for twenty years. It is nothing physically or structurally flawed about the house that you can see with your eyes. Rather, it is a time cycle that the house must endure. Here are a few examples of “locked” houses:

• A house built between 1944-1964 that faces magnetic east (68-112 degrees) was in a 20-year lock from 1984-2004.

• A house built between 1984-2004 that faces magnetic southeast (113-157degrees) is also in a 20-year lock until 2024.

It is a combination of timing and direction, the essence of classical Xuan Kong Fei Xing feng shui. The remedy for a People Lock is surprisingly simple: you must hear and see clean, circulating water! The sight and sound of water releases this oppressive bubble over the house. The addition of a water feature, such as a fountain, can actually lift this type of house out of its negative cycle.

There are also other components to a house, and specifically to the bedroom, which affect fertility. In fact, there are house types where there is no problem getting pregnant, but the negative influences could make it easy for a miscarriage.

If there are certain lucky energies at a front door, bedroom, and kitchen, then it could be a house where having lots of kids is easy.

Assuming that most couples try to conceive in their own bedroom, there are even monthly cycles that can be tracked to determine the likelihood of conceiving a boy verses a girl. Every month the energy in a room fluctuates between “yin” or “yang,” which can mean masculine or feminine. It may seem wild to believe that our lives can be so fated and scheduled, but even nature is less random and quite predictable.
