Introduction
In 1971, the Year of the Pig, with the Five Elements being "Chai Juan Jin" (Bronze Jewelry Gold). From the perspective of feng shui and destiny, it is not absolutely forbidden to live on the third or fifth floor. However, the third floor belongs to the Wood element, and since Metal overcomes Wood, there may be a slight adverse effect on one's fortune. The fifth floor belongs to the Earth element, and since Earth generates Metal, the fifth floor may have a slightly positive impact on one's fortune. People born in 1971 are mostly "West Four" destinies, and "West Four" houses are typically associated with "West Four" residences.

Cannot live on the third or fifth floor in 1971?

According to traditional feng shui theory, each floor has corresponding Five Elements attributes. The first and sixth floors belong to Water, the second and seventh to Fire, the third and eighth to Wood, the fourth and ninth to Metal, and the fifth and tenth to Earth. Higher floors follow this pattern.

People born in 1971 are pigs, and their Five Elements are "Chai Juan Jin." In terms of the Five Elements, Metal overcomes Wood, and the third floor belongs to Wood. Therefore, from this perspective, people born in 1971 living on the third floor may form a conflicting energy relationship.

For example, those in creative industries might feel some obstacles in their work, project progress may be slow, and communication with partners may lead to disputes. However, this is not absolute; many factors influence one's fortune, and feng shui is just one aspect.

The fifth floor belongs to Earth, and Earth generates Metal. From the perspective of the Five Elements' mutual generation, people born in 1971 living on the fifth floor may benefit from the energy of Earth, which can enhance their fortune.

For those working hard in companies, living on the fifth floor may help them gradually establish themselves within the team, and through their own efforts and the support of the feng shui of the floor, they may slowly gain promotion opportunities and see their careers steadily rise.

The reason why people born in 1971 cannot live in west-facing houses

According to the Eight House Feng Shui theory, human destinies are divided into East Four and West Four. Houses are also divided into East Four and West Four. According to calculations, people born in 1971 are mostly "West Four" destinies. Generally speaking, people with "West Four" destinies are suitable for living in "West Four" houses. Most west-facing houses belong to "West Four" residences. From the perspective of matching the house and destiny, it should be relatively appropriate. Then why is there a saying that they cannot live in west-facing houses?

It could be due to internal layout issues in the house. For example, if the entrance of a west-facing house directly faces the bathroom, in feng shui, the bathroom is considered a place where impure energy gathers. If impure energy directly rushes toward the door, it may affect the overall energy of the house, leading to poor mental state, and more mistakes in daily life and work.

Another possibility is that the bedroom is located in the southwest corner of the house and the space is narrow and oppressive. In feng shui, the southwest corner corresponds to the Kun position, representing stability and support. If the bedroom is in this area and the environment is poor, it may affect the quality of sleep, thereby impacting physical health and fortune.

There may also be external environmental factors. If the window of a west-facing house directly faces a hospital or a garbage station, hospitals often carry illness energy, while garbage stations are sources of impurity. These negative energies may have an adverse effect on the residents.

For example, the residents may feel unusually irritable, their work efficiency may decrease, and their interpersonal relationships may become less harmonious.

However, it is important to clarify that the impact of feng shui on people is not absolute. Personal effort, mindset, and actual living environment are equally important. Even if there are so-called unfavorable feng shui factors, they can be adjusted and mitigated through certain methods.
