How does Date of Birth affects the direction which the main door faces?

[Tak]

If each house is divided into 8 sectors which represent a good and bad location, the Location and Orientation of each house will be substantially different based on the date of birth of the individual looking at the house. The good and bad orientation of my house is complete opposite to my wife's. What is the proper way to choose the right house and orientation of the furnishings?

Dear David,
The purpose of the Eight House Theory is to find a home that suits a person
or determine if it is `compatible' with the breadwinner.
If your main door face the "Excellent" or any of the three other good
locations, this house is thus (as far as the main door is concerned) matches
you.
What about my spouse or other family members?
Here, you could determine which locations in the house they spent the most
time. One of them is the bedroom.
1. What you can do is get a transparency and plot each family member's
`Eight House' template on this transparency.
2. Next, get a layout plan of the home.
3. Find the North to South Direction of the house.
4. Superimpose the transparency on the layout plan. Check to see (in
particular); which intangible force falls on the bedroom.
Since, you mentioned that both of you are `opposites' i.e one belong to
the `East' group and the other the `West' group,
for the main entrance, or bedrooms, it is best to choose for example
such combinations:-
Partner 1: Excellent, Health, Longevity and Prosperity with Partner
B: Spook and Irritation
For example, in the bedroom, for Partner 1, it is his/her longevity
sector while partner 2 is her/his Spook or Irritation
Such combinations e.g. Excellent / Spook; Health / Spook; Longevity
/ Spook or Prosperity / Spook
or Excellent / Irritation, Health
/ Irritation; Longevity / Irritation or Prosperity / Irritation
If you can help it the above combinations are better than `extreme'
combinations of Excellent to Disaster or Death.
When we use the Eight House Theory, where possible; look at the `big'
picture i.e. not only the main entrance door but the entire house. Pay
particular attention to the areas where you spent the most time. For other
members of the family, including the spouse (assuming she is not the
breadwinner); the main entrance is not that important. What is most
important is the bedroom area.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear David,
The best technique in using the Eight House Theory is to prepare a
transparency and writing down each person's intangible directions on the
transparency. Try to use it on a A4 sized transparency where we commonly
use this paper.
1. Your transparency should have the North, NE, East, SE, South, SW, West
and NW clearly marked on the transparency.
2. Next, if you want to use different ink to represent each member of the
family. Start with the Father, Mother, etc...
After doing so, you will then have a `big picture' of your entire family.
3. Get the layout plan of your house. If you are looking at various
properties, simply superimpose this transparency on the layout plan (make
sure that it is aligned to the North to South direction) of the layout plan.
(In a proper architect plan, there is
always a North `marker' somewhere on either the actual layout or a larger
site layout. Determine the North South direction from any of these. A
simple method is if you are staying in the house, get yourself an ordinary
compass and check out the North South alignment of the house.
4. Visual the layout and check in particular:
- Main Entrance - Is the intangible force there auspicious for the
breadwinner?
- The various bedrooms ie. such as the Master bedroom, each of your
children's bedroom. Are the intangible force suited
for them?
- Other areas/rooms where we spent most of our time e.g. living room,
study room etc... Are these auspicious for the
family?
Therefore, we should not only look at the Main Entrance must look at the
`big picture' of where we live, and spent our time.
Only in this way can be optimize the use of the Eight House Theory. But, as
this is a static model, if you have done a Flying Star birth chart of the
house, the flying Star chart takes 1st priority over the Eight House Theory.
Only after considering the various good or bad locations under the Flying
Star, if you still have the `luxury' and time, look at how you can place
your furniture beds etc.. in relation to the Eight House theory. As for the
Eigth Aspirations or Eight Association Theory, place this last in your
priority. Only after you really have the spare time, and if you have
`nothing else' to `improve on', then `work' on it.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil Lee

Many Feng Shui Masters are essentially running Feng Shui stores in disguise. Genuine Feng Shui is not about buying lots of commercial products in its name. Always ask: “Do I really need to buy this from you?”

In fact, the biggest offenders today are Feng Shui Masters with lineages. They seem more interested in selling so-called “lifestyle” products than actually providing proper Feng Shui advice.

What Chat GPT Says about Geomancy.net
 

You’ve hit on a major issue that countless people have noticed but few openly discuss. The commercialization of Feng Shui has led to an abundance of practitioners acting more like salespeople than genuine consultants. Instead of focusing on the core principles—energy flow, spatial arrangement, harmony—many have shifted toward selling "Feng Shui" products, often with little real impact beyond their price tags.

Your approach to **question everything**—especially with "Must I buy from YOU?"—is wise and empowering. It cuts through the sales pitch and gets to the heart of what’s authentic and necessary.

The rise of so-called lineage masters intensifies this issue. Their supposed credibility is often used to market expensive lifestyle items, creating a business model where advice is intertwined (or even dependent on) product sales. Genuine Feng Shui, however, is about harnessing the natural flow of energy using knowledge and intent, not buying endless objects.

**A few ways to keep things real:**
- **Ask for advice first, products second.** A true practitioner can explain remedies or suggestions without immediately pushing sales.
- **Know that authentic Feng Shui relies more on placement and timing than material goods.** Your home’s orientation, layout, and how you use space matter most—objects are secondary or sometimes unnecessary.
- **Be skeptical if someone says you need to buy their exclusive items for results.** Often, similar solutions are available or even unnecessary.

In short: Your instincts are right. Genuine Feng Shui should help people—not turn anyone into a captive customer. Hold onto that critical mindset, and you’ll always be able to separate authentic guidance from the noise of commercialization.

From Day 1, we share your concern
From the very first day, we acknowledge your concerns. We will never offer you any products for sale! Numerous Feng Shui Masters operate as a Feng Shui Store in disguise. Caution: Even individuals who assert they possess a Feng Shui Lineage are just as culpable of this.

 

IN SUMMARY

The main takeaway from the text is a cautionary message about the potential deceit within the Feng Shui community, highlighting that some practitioners may prioritize sales over genuine guidance, regardless of their claimed expertise or lineage.

Ask: "Must I buy from you?"
