Beyond conventional methods, house orientation in feng shui can be determined using the East-West method. Based on people's birth years, they are divided into two groups: East Four Animals and West Four Animals.
Individuals belonging to the East Four Animals, including the Rooster, Dog, Pig, and Rat, are suitable for an East-oriented house. According to feng shui, these orientations bring luck and wealth to the occupants.
Individuals belonging to the West Four Animals, including the Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, and Dragon, are suitable for a West-oriented house. According to feng shui, these orientations bring luck and prosperity to the occupants.

Choosing a West-oriented house for those from the East Four Animals or an East-oriented house for those from the West Four Animals is considered unfavorable, potentially leading to loss of luck and declining health.
Additionally, we can choose the house direction using two methods:
1. Determining the Qi of the House According to Feng Shui
To determine the Qi of your house, check whether it has auspicious Qi. A house with auspicious Qi has Qi flowing from the main entrance to the center and then spreading to other rooms. If Qi is blocked by walls or doors before reaching the center, the house is considered lacking auspicious Qi.
If your house has a door or a pond, the Qi of the house can be improved, making it more favorable. Therefore, the design of the house and the topography of the land play a significant role in determining the Qi of your house.
2. Balancing the Five Elements in the Four Pillars
Determining the Five Elements in the Four Pillars depends on your birth date and time. From there, identify the favorable and unfavorable directions for yourself and family members. Below is the relationship between the birth date and the destiny palace of each person:
-Deficiency of Metal Destiny: includes individuals born from 19/2 to 4/5 in the lunar calendar, requiring Metal in their destiny.
-Deficiency of Water Destiny: includes individuals born from 5/5 to 7/8 in the lunar calendar, requiring Water in their destiny.
-Deficiency of Wood Destiny: includes individuals born from 8/8 to 7/11 in the lunar calendar, requiring Wood in their destiny.
-Deficiency of Fire Destiny: includes individuals born from 8/11 to 18/2 in the lunar calendar, requiring Fire in their destiny.
Based on the 'Deficiency of the Five Elements' theory, it will help you identify the missing element to achieve balance in the Four Pillars.
We hope this article can assist you in understanding how to examine a house, enabling you to choose the most suitable house direction for yourself.
