How it's used
Refers specifically to the act of consulting a geomancy expert to assess the energy flow of a space. It is common to hire a 師傅 for this purpose, especially when selecting a new office or home layout. While some treat it as a serious practice for luck, others view it as a cultural tradition or a form of interior design advice.
Examples
Before they moved house, they specifically invited a master to come and check the feng shui.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with simply looking at scenery or weather, as 睇 can mean to look at or watch in other contexts. Ensure the context clearly relates to geomancy or luck to avoid confusion.
