Sharp Corner Sha (Jian Jiao Sha)

Jian Jiao Sha (尖角煞) literally means "sharp corner sha." In feng shui, pointed or angular shapes are considered to concentrate and project energy outward. When such a point aims at a building, room, or person, it creates a form of Sha Qi.

This concept applies at multiple scales—from large building corners pointing at your home, to interior furniture corners pointing at your bed or desk.

• Exterior sources: Building corners, roof points, decorative spires
• Interior sources: Furniture corners, exposed structural edges, angular decor
• Effect: Directed, aggressive energy toward the target
• Associations: Conflicts, accidents, health issues in the targeted area

Classical texts warn about pointed shapes:

The language of "shooting" (射) emphasizes the directional, aggressive nature of the energy from sharp corners.

Sharp Corner Sha manifests in various forms:

• Building corners: Adjacent buildings with corners pointing at your entrance or windows
• Roof points: Triangular roof peaks or decorative elements aimed at you
• Wall corners: Interior or exterior wall edges that create pointed angles
• Furniture: Desk corners, table edges, cabinets pointing at beds or seating
• Decorative items: Sharp sculptures, arrow-shaped objects, pointed plants

Severity depends on sharpness of the angle, proximity, and whether it points at important areas (doors, beds, desks).

Solutions for different situations:

1. Exterior corners: Block with trees, screens, or curtains; use deflecting objects
2. Interior corners: Round the corner with plants, fabric, or corner guards
3. Furniture: Reposition to avoid direct pointing; choose rounded furniture
4. Symbolic: Use protective symbols or Five Element cures in affected areas
5. Distance: Increase distance between the corner and important positions
