Scissors Sha剪刀煞 · EF-08
TL;DR — Core Definition
Scissors Sha (剪刀煞) is a traditional feng shui formation in which two roads meet at an angle and a property sits in the wedge between them, as if held in the open blades of a pair of scissors.
| Formation | Scissors Sha |
|---|---|
| Visual cue | A home wedged in the fork of two angled roads |
| Nature | Cautionary (煞) |
| Five-element remedy direction | Rounded enclosure and wood framing at the apex |
Why it matters in traditional feng shui
The wedge between two converging roads is traditionally read as an exposed, pincered position lacking a settled sense of enclosure.
How to recognise it
Check whether the property sits in the acute fork where two roads diverge, with roads on two sides forming a narrowing wedge toward the home.
Traditional remedy direction
Remedies aim to define a calmer, enclosed boundary at the apex using rounded landscaping and wood associations.
