What are odd shaped lots? Odd shaped lots are incomplete of fractional lots. In terms of the five elements:
1. Round shaped lots are associated with metal.
2. Rectangular lots are associtated with wood.
3. Broom or irregularly shaped lots are associated with water.
4. Triangular lots are associated with fire.
Square lots are associated with earth.
In urban areas, most odd shaped lots are triangular or irregularly shaped, and neither is suitable for residence.
It is difficult to design floor plans for triangular shaped houses, and the disorderly and asymmetrical pattern of irregularly shaped houses also poses problems to the design of a harmonious floor plan. In selecting lots, one should avoid odd shaped lots, even though they may be cheaper. These lots invite noxious chi, and people living in them are gradually subjected to noxious influences and may develop "fragmentation." A comparison may be made between the shape of a house and that of a human being. An incomplete lot is analogous to a person with missing or deformed limbs and facial features.
A triangular lot with one of its apexes positioned in the front invites "huo-sha" [noxious fire energy], and its two sides, the left and the right, invite "feng-sha" [noxious wind energy]. An irregularly shaped house, due to the presence of too many angles, invite harm to oneself or others. Therefore, in purchasing a lot to build a home, one should look for a square, rectangle, or circle and stay away from odd shaped lots. An odd shaped lot may be considered for the construction of commercial buildings, as long as no one lives there. 
A common element shared by most odd shaped lots is the presence of one or more protruding features. Protruding features are associated with extremely strong energy forces, and inhabitants who live for a long time in such houses come under these influences and become extreme in their presonalities. The magnitic or subtle energy field of such sites is "strong and chaotic" and may also increase the risk of accidents for the inhabitants.
People living in houses with strong magnetic forces do not experience peacfulness. If it is a commercial building, such as a bank, hospital, supermarket, or department store, (where there is a great deal of foot traffic), then a strong magnetic force might actually be beneficial. An expert feng-shui master would know the method to divert the excessively strong energy in an auspicious direction and thus bring more business to the merchants.
On the other hand, if the excessively strong magnetic force of an odd shaped lot is not directed in an auspicious direction, the strong force will attract scoundrels with ill intentions resulting in bank robberies, medical disputes, burglaries, and frauds, which are most abhorred by businesses. A "dynamic force of vitality" indicated auspiciousness. In contrast, the occurence of crimes such as arson, murder, rape, and lascivious behaviors at such properties is an indication of the presence of noxious energy.
If the strong subtle energy can be guided in an auspicious direction, it will result in a "dynamic vitality." If it is led, instead, in an inauspicious direction, it will result in horrible crimes. An expert feng-shui master would be someone with the knowledge to direct the earth chi.
I performed a feng-shui reading for a family whose house was built on an odd shaped lot. When I met them, the family was extremely down on its luck. The inhabitants had already been involved in five different car accidents, some of which were quite serious. Also, every member of the household displayed some kind of neurotic behavior. I noted that these harmful effects were caused by the triangular shaped house in which they lived.
The family members had hot tempers and were easily provoked to anger. The owner and his wife quarreled daily, and their children were involved in gang activities. Such extreme behavior develops over time from the influence of noxious wind energy from the two sides of the triangle. The house was built upon a triangular lot formed by intersecting roads.
I noticed that the bedrooms were all pointed in the front and wide at the rear, due to the constraints of the house shape. I told the owner, "Your daughters will become men's mistresses."
"Master Lian-sheng, your psychic reading is extremely correct."
"It is not from my psychic reading. When one's bedroom is lopsided, one, of course, cannot become a legal wife but only someone's mistress," I responded. The owner's two daughters, who were quite beautiful, had both fallen in love with married men. Besides their involvement with gang members, they seemed especially attracted to married men.
"What is there to do?" The owner was quite sad.
"Do not continue to live on an odd shaped lot. It is better to move. Find a nice, quite house somewhere else and convert this house into a shop. This would benefit both you and the house."
I, Living Buddha Lian-sheng, believe it is best to stay away from odd shaped lots because they possess both the characteristics of "fluidity" and "extremeness" which embody violence and chaos. Whenever such lots are used for commercial buildings, an expert feng-shui master should be consulted to ensure the proper guiding of the "chaotic chi" in an auspicious direction. If the "chaotic chi" is not carefully handled, it may bring violence instead of harmony. Such noxious disharmony can be extremely fierce. Just the thought of such upheavals is enough to make one shudder.
