Corner Sha角煞 · EF-03
TL;DR — Core Definition
Corner Sha (角煞) is a traditional feng shui formation in which the sharp protruding corner of a neighbouring building points directly at a property, like an edge aimed at the home.
| Formation | Corner Sha |
|---|---|
| Visual cue | A neighbouring building's sharp corner aimed at the home |
| Nature | Cautionary (煞) |
| Five-element remedy direction | Rounded screening / planting to deflect the edge |
Why it matters in traditional feng shui
Sharp, angular edges are traditionally associated with cutting, concentrated energy. A corner aimed at the home is thought to direct this pointed influence at the facing wall or door.
How to recognise it
Check whether the convex (outward) corner of an adjacent structure points at the property — note that an inward (concave) recess is not considered a corner sha.
Traditional remedy direction
Traditional remedies use rounded, softening forms or greenery at the facing point to disperse the perceived sharpness rather than meeting edge with edge.
