My mobile home doesn’t have door on the street side and only a very tiny window (which is my bedroom window and always shut). my main entry door is kitchen door, 90° to the street, open to public
walkway. The second door is facing the opposite side of street, open to big lawn with private walkway curving to same public walkway as kitchen door, but a bit further on walkway. This second door has view of my big backyard lawn plus 6 backyard lawns of neighbors in round about walkway. no fencing allowed anywhere in the community.
Which is considered the house direction, 1.street, 2. main door (kitchen door) or 3. back door (door facing 7 lawns). Back side are all glass wall so I guess this is the most yang area?
Thanks so much

Hi Linda,
There’s no need to “translate” the compass. For the new year, you just need to start administering new changes around Feb. 4. Although some practitioners would suggest an auspicious date (depending on the scale of the “change”), there’s no need to adhere to that if you’re just making small changes.

Hi Victor,

Greetings from Vancouver, BC. I am a complete newbie at Feng Shui and would love to try my hand at properly administering these cures to my apartment. I am almost stumped at the explanation of the feng shui compass and the inversion of North and South. The facing direction of my apartment is North/North East, does this translate to South/South East when using the feng shui compass? I was also wondering since feng shui new years starts on February 4 every year, when do we start administering the new changes, right before or right after the February 4?

Thank you so much for sharing such valuable information! Any answers to my questions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ann,
Did you get professional help? If it didn’t work, do you mind telling me what the professional did or suggested? Practicing Feng Shui without the required knowledge and training wouldn’t yield results.
I can’t see your property so I’m not too sure. If you say both sides are busy, I’m assuming your living in an apartment complex instead of a single-family house. If that’s the case, the side with the best light is the side with more “yang” energy and therefore your facing direction.

Hi
After many years and attempts with feng shui professionals feng shui has not helped and I’m still unsure of the facing direction.
There’s only one door. No outside space belonging to the property. The side opposite the front door has the best light and more space, but both sides are busy.
I also dont know if the reading is taken in line with the door, or at the centre of the front of the property.
I’ve read that it should be taken at various distances from the property which means they are all different.
If you could shed any light on this first essential step I would be grateful. Thank you.

Hi Yin,
Yes, your facing will be NE. The reason for standing outside is to steer clear from electronic interference so you can confirm your exact measurement.

Hi victor,
Thanks for the article. Have a question if you may help address please. If i am standing inside the apartment and facing my balcony (which is the most yang area of the apartment) and my smartphone app says the direction is NE, is that my home’s facing direction?
However your article says i should measure from outside as well. Hence for house facing direction, should i be standing at my balcony and facing inwards towards the apartment interior or facing outwards?

Hi Ashley,
I can’t suggest a good placement without taking a look at the room, getting a compass measurement of the house, and locating where the bed is relative to the house. Before even considering directions, you need to consider the Forms. Use this article as a starting point: https://fengshuinexus.com/feng-shui-bedroom/feng-shui-bed-placement-rules-conflict-use/
If that gets too confusing, consult with an expert: https://fengshuinexus.com/experts/

Hi Luara,
Although most of your activity is at the backyard, the street is still the side that’s more Yang. You are right that all the activity and sunlight are considered Yang, but don’t forget there’s also the privacy factor. The more private a place is, the more Yin, which is the case for your backyard. Facing direction for houses is usually the direction where the street is. Don’t forget about all the human activities on the street!

Hi, i am looking for a favourable position to place my bed but i don’t understand how to see the direction of the house or room?
My kua number is 9 and currently, if i use my phone compass, my bed is on the west wall and my feet is pointing to the East direction. I’m not sure if i am viewing the compass and direction right…. And also seek your advice on where to place my bed as the west wall is actually the window so right now my bed is under the window which i know is not ideal?
Will look forward for your reply thanks 🙂
