I recently built a studio in my back garden

[myfs_155067]

Dear Cecil, Firstly thank you for the fantastic site. I am begginer and eager to learn about this fascinating subject of flying stars and this site has really helped.
I recently built a studio in my back garden to use for making artwork, it covers most of the south area. I looked at the flying stars for each sector in the studio and the West (which is my personal shengchi) has the stars 8-8-1-8 (sitting, facing, main, annual) which although i am a beginner I have a feeling is quite good. I'm not sure if I should sit here but facing North (not good for me as West person apparently) or if I should sit in the East sector and face West instead?
Also is there a way to activate this sector? Would I try to place the lacking elements to balance it out, or would I try to emphasise this sector with more of the same energy? Or is this totally irrelevant and I'm looking to the wrong place?
Best wishes, and thanks in advance.

These are some considerations:
1. It is a plus point under Flying Star Feng Shui to spent time at a good sector.
2. Especially if the sector has double #8's this is considered a very good sector if one spents time or doing activity as what you enjoy best.
3. In fact, Para 2, will place one in good stead based on Flying Star Feng Shui.
4. However, the other portion where you wrote to face North is SECONDARY.
4.1. What it means is that of course it is nice to face WEST or Westerly directions for you. But, this should be considered as "NICE-to" and not a must.
4.2. This brings to another key ingredient: "SHAPES DETERMINE THE FORMS AND THE FORMS DETERMINE THE STARS".
5. Here, one critical aspect under Shapes and Forms is the lighting or glare or rather prolonged glare.
5.1. In you situation, already the plus point is that the sector has double #8's.
5.2. Based on Shapes and Forms, the key ingredient is comfort e.g. comfort for the eyes. No point forcing one to face the glare e.g. a west group person may be 'forced" to face glare from the afternoon sun.
5.3. Facing prolonged glare is bad for productivity the eyes and health (some may get frequent headache).
6. Thus in my opinion, based on common sense, face away from the sun. Therefore, North facing even for a West group person is in my opinion fine with me. In fact, this is encouraged if the light comes from the "back" then from one's front (eyes).
7. It is the same concept in Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. And in the past, I mentioned, for west group persons, don't force yourself studying or working facing west. As often, if one's work area is close to the windows and if the windows don't have uv-protection, some races are more prone to skin cancer of sorts.

Feng Shui is also about common sense.
Often, there is no perfection in Feng Shui.
Most of the concepts should be considered as "NICE-to" and not a "MUST-have"
