myfs_140295 Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Dear Cecil,My husband (the breadwinner) is a East group person with Kua number 4. We are looking at a W2 (DUI)sitting house. This house has a garage up frontnext to a small gate (both the garage door and small gate have E facing). The gateopens into along courtyard before reaching the front door. Can you please help us with the following questions:1) We read that a house sitting W isnot goodfor an East Group Person. However, under the Eight Mansions system, it is good if we have amain door facing E. If ourmain door is at the house facing direction (which is opposite the sitting), which is more important - should wechoose a favorable house sitting direction or favorable main door facing direction? Or should we find a more house where both the house facing and main door facing directions are favorable?2) Can you please confirm how to determine the direction of the main door? We will use the garage doors most, so I'm guessing those would be considered the main doors. The firstgarage door isparallel to the facingof the house, which is E. However, it is in thefront left side of the houseand thus if you draw a line from the center of the house to the door, it would be facing NE. The second garage is in the front middle of the house (so a line from the center of the house to the door would be E). But this garage door is facing/tilted N.3) We are also planning to use the front door, though not as much as the garage doors, so need help in determining the direction of this door. The front door is facing/tilted E. If we include the courtyard as part of the house, then a line from the center of the house to the door would be S. But if we exclude the courtyard as part of the house, then the direction from this center of the house would be SE.Thank you so much for your help!Sincerely,Gwen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted June 17, 2011 Staff Share Posted June 17, 2011 For a landed property it is best to consider the facing direction of the home vs the facing direction of the main door.In this link although the mention is on "tilting main door" but; I understand that yours has to do with using certain doors; However, the concept of facing direction can best be understood from this url (just ignore the "need to tilt" sort of thing:-http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Tilting_Main_DoorPlease note that your main door or garage door can be anywhere or on the side of the home. But the above link gives a better idea that no matter how the saying goes " A leopard never changes it's spots". In addition; there are many links under "sticky" on "Facing Direction". Use the SEARCH feature on the top-left frame of this forum. Quote On 6/17/2011 1:44:11 AM, Anonymous wrote:Dear Cecil,My husband (thebreadwinner) is a East groupperson with Kua number4.

myfs_140295 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Dear Cecil,Thank you so much for your reply! Can you please confirm if my new understanding (below) is correct or not? This is regarding a landed propertyfor a east group person, whose favorable directions are N, S, E and SE.1. For the Eight House system, the reason we try to find out the facing of the main door is to determine the facing of the house (since they're usually the same). We should find a house with a sitting direction (opposite the facing direction) that is favorable (N, S, E and SE). Thusam I wrong to think that we are looking for houses with main doors facing the favorable directions (N, S, E and SE)? Or is the ideal situation where both the sitting of the house and the facing of the main door are favorable directions? Also, under the Eight House system, the facing of the main door is taken while standing in the middle of the door looking out. It doesn't matter where the door is located in relation to the center of the house.2. For the Flying Star system,the directionof the main door is based on drawing a line from the center of the house to the door.It doesn't matter what direction the door is facing/tiled. Under theFlying Star system, it is good tohave the main door in a favorable section of the house.Thank you for your help!Gwen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter where the door is located in relation to the center of the house.In a simplistic way; what you wrote makes sense. The url below shows the SUMMARY of a delicate balance between not only the Eight House with Flying Star but also Ba zi Feng Shuihttp://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=29739&new=The reason for finding the Facing Direction (can be or may not be the main door) is usually the location where there are the most openings. Thus, OFTEN for a landed property it is standing inside the house looking out of the frontage. For an apartment: I believe this has been mentioned in many past forum messages.In Flying Star, the key is to determine where is the most Yang Qi such as the largest amount of openings where most likely qi would flow into the home or apartment. Often it is along the stretch of the windows along the living room windows - side. Try to "forget" more of the emphasis of MAIN DOOR. But subsitute this with FACING direction, instead. So that the "novice" mind is used to the more proper term. If one keeps on saying MAIN DOOR, main door, main door; then it may be so much confusing for the brain.

myfs_140295 Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 Dear Cecil,I just purchased the Good House Hunting report and it shows our favorable houses (for East group person)with Main Door Facing the favorable directions (N, S, SE, E). ButI thoughtwe're looking for houses sitting in these favorable directions -yetthe Good House Hunting report shows these as unfavorable houses. Can you please explain?Thank you,Gwen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted June 22, 2011 Staff Share Posted June 22, 2011 1. Please note that the report considers three factors: Eight House, Flying Star and Ba Zi of the breadwinner.2. Yang Feng Shui or Feng Shui for the living; the facing direction is important.3. For Yin Feng Shui or Feng Shui for the dead; then refer to what you mentioned, below.4. The Flying Star Period 7 applies; only thing is that under Period 8; the #8 are important for this period. Majority of the time; each sector will still depend on the 81 combinations or interactions of the Mountain star vs the Water star.
