Dear Cecil, Thank you for taking the time to review my question. Our fireplace is located in the NorthWest corner of our living room which is also in the NorthWest sector of our house/cabin. This is as far as I understand the general area for mentors and networking and fire is not a good element in this sector. Unfortuntately we can not move the fire-place, and we have to use it through most of the winter to keep the temperature decent. Is there anything I can do to alleviate the possible negative effects of this? Thank you, Mette

Dear Cecil, thank you for your response. I do feel that the natural front ('frontage?) of my house is toward the East. I have a panorama view here over the sea and a door that leads out to the balcony. Every morning the sun rises directly to fill our whole house with light. The land in front of this door also slants down and toward a garden and finally the beach. However, I know it won't work to use this door as a main door, as it would mean walking around the house every time we want to exit and enter. However, when inside, I do basically feel that East is the front. Is it therefore, as you mentioned - possible to consider this the front of the house when attempting to do analysis? Could this be considered a West-Group house? - Mette Cheng Munthe-Kaas (mcmk)

Hello Cecil, I hope you can give me advice on this problem: About a year ago we bought a home by the fjord. The land slopes unevenly down from the dirt road toward the sea, creating on its way 5 'plateaus' on which the land levels out, only to gently (and sometimes not so gently) slope down again to the next plateau. Our parking space is on the first plateau - levelling with the dirt road, our main house is situated on the 'third', - middle - plateau from the dirt road, and the beach is the fifth plateau. Our main door faces West - leading us up toward the dirt road. However, once inside the cabin, our 'panorama view' faces East - toward the sea and the distant lands. In trying to analyze the layout of our main cabin, I keep getting stuck on the fact that although I would like to consider East as our 'front', our main door actually is to the west - and there is no denying that. According to the Form School Feng Shui - I should be in serious trouble. Which I don't feel... I have considered actually closing off that door and using our back door (to the East) as our main door - but concluded that that won't work. It is truly frustrating to get stuck on something as primary as for example categorizing the cabin as an East-Group or West-group house. I would greatly appreciate any advice that could guide me in making the right choices on these categorizations.
