Curious about why my se3 home is bad for my family and how our BaZi relates to this

Dear Master,

My mother has been studying Feng shui since 2016 she is born January 28th 1978. We moved into our period 8 home in 2015 (it was built in 2006). Since then things have gone wrong for my dad born December 7th 1976. Currently he is alone, still living under the same roof, but isolated as his relationships with me, my twin sister (3:22 am), my older brother (october 13th 2002 7:22pm) and my mom are all ruined. I'm curious about how the house influences us all and potentially how our bazi pillars all interact. I can give further details about the house layout, the cures, landscape, and whatever you may need to provide a good analysis.

Thank you very much for your time and insight.

It is very possible that your father is currently going through a challenging relationship cycle in his BaZi, particularly at the Day Pillar level, which governs marriage, close bonds, and one’s interaction with family members. When relationship luck weakens, it often manifests as isolation, misunderstandings, emotional withdrawal, or a breakdown in communication.

What can intensify or prolong such a difficult phase is the house Feng Shui. Even a generally favorable Period 8 house, such as an SE3-facing home, still depends heavily on the internal layout, external environment, and how the house interacts with each occupant’s BaZi.

If the house’s energy conflicts with your father’s favorable Useful Ten Gods 喜用神 , favorable 喜神—especially involving his Day Master and spouse palace—it can magnify tension, weaken his authority and role within the family, and reduce emotional support from loved ones. Over time, this may present as emotional distance, fractured relationships, or a feeling of being “alone under the same roof.”

To assess whether the house is a contributing factor, it is important to observe:

  1. Each occupant’s BaZi, to determine compatibility with the house’s energy
  2. Your father’s career and wealth performance since moving into the home
  3. Whether other family members experienced improvement while he declined

When one family member consistently deteriorates while others remain stable or improve, it often points to a person-specific Feng Shui conflict, rather than a universally unfavorable house. 

With further details on the house layout, bedroom allocations, external forms, and any Feng Shui activations or cures performed, a clearer assessment can be made to determine whether this situation is primarily due to BaZi timing, Feng Shui conflict, or a compounded effect of both.

Because these factors are highly interdependent, a full Feng Shui audit is necessary to evaluate the interactions properly and avoid oversimplified or misleading conclusions.

Regards,
