The house which sits at the very end of a cul-de-sac or T-juncture is going to be receiving more energy than the other houses on either side, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. Most feng shui books illustrate how this is a very accident-prone or unhappy home and to be avoided at all costs, but occasionally it is the luckiest house on the block. Why? If the house is inherently good in its "unseen" influences, then all the chi rushing toward that house will activate the good features. So, this type of street alignment will only intensifiy whatever house type it is.

What are the unseen influences? These are the energies created inside the house based on when it was built and what precise directional orientation the house faces. As a concrete example: if you have a house that faces 345 degrees north and built in 1950, this house does not have a very good front door if it is smack in the middle of the front side of the house. It is a house type where the occupant could have head or lung problems. Now, if that same house has a street directly aligned with this front door, it would exacerbate this negative potential of the house. But what if that same house was built in 1990 instead? That house with a north door would have major prosperity energies in that location so a road directed toward it could make it even more active in a good sense.

This is just one of many examples of how the outside forces influence the inside forces and you cannot do a proper feng shui analysis without considering both the interiors and exteriors together.

If you have falllen in love with a house that happens to be at the end of a cul-de-sac, don't write it off as bad feng shui without looking at other important features to the house and getting a comprehensive evaluation to determine the real effects.

Even if it is not the type of house that can benefit from the street alignment, there could easily be some good landscaping remedies to off set this oncoming flow of air currents. With enough of a front yard, you could have a half wall, a hedge, a fence, an elevated sculpture, trees or plantings to buffer or re-direct the otherwise direct line of chi.
