Consulting feng shui for homes reveals that a home's prosperity and harmony aren't solely determined by its auspicious land or alignment with its owner's destiny. Selecting an ideal home direction holds significant importance.
When constructing a home, people often refer to home direction based on the entrance, where it receives celestial energy. If your home's entrance faces North, then its direction should also be North. It's also advised not to directly face the end of a street or alley with your entrance gate, as ancient beliefs suggest it invites negative energies into your home. To accurately determine your home's direction and find its auspicious alignment, a compass is the best choice.
A compass helps us identify the following directions:
Ox – Tiger – Rabbit (Northeast direction)
Dragon – Snake – Horse (Southeast direction)
Dog – Ridge – Pig (Northwest direction)
Dog – Mourning – Body (Southwest direction)
Water – Rat – Metal (North direction)
Fire – Horse – Fire (South direction)
Wood – Rabbit – Soil (East direction)
Metal – Rooster – Wood (West direction)
If your house belongs to the Rabbit facing Rooster direction, it means your house faces East towards West.
However, to accurately determine your direction using a compass, you should consider the following:
-Avoid placing the compass near metallic objects as the magnetic structure of the compass can lead to deviations.
-Ensure the compass is placed steadily in a balanced state.
-Avoid placing the compass in rough, unstable areas, and steer clear of places with moving objects.
-Position the compass accurately, place it at the center of your house and the entrance gate.
Note that Phi Tinh and Bat Trach orientations differ, hence compass placement varies. Bat Trach determines house orientation based on land fate, placing the compass at the house's central point. Meanwhile, Phi Tinh philosophy views the entrance as the receiver of cosmic energy flow. Therefore, to determine house orientation, the compass is placed at the entrance's focal point.
