Understanding House Direction
A feng shui house direction reading begins with the facing side. This side usually holds the main view, strongest activity, or main entrance. A compass degree turns that observation into a clear sector. The calculator divides the full circle into eight directions. Each direction covers forty five degrees. It also links each sector with an element, trigram, and simple room planning notes.
Why Kua Matters
The Kua number adds a personal layer. It is based on birth year and gender. Traditional Eight Mansions practice groups people into east and west groups. A match does not promise luck. It only shows how the personal group relates to the house facing group. Use the result as a planning guide, not a fixed rule.
Compass Accuracy
Small compass errors can change a borderline sector. Stand away from metal, vehicles, wiring, and large appliances. Take at least three readings. Average the readings before entering the degree. You can also add a correction for local declination or site bias. This helps when a phone compass drifts.
Interpreting The Result
The main direction describes the house facing sector. The opposite sector shows the sitting direction. The element note suggests a balancing idea. For example, a south facing home links with fire. It may suit bright spaces, social rooms, and open activity. A north facing home links with water. It may support calm study areas and quiet flow.
Using The Guidance
Start with practical comfort. Light, ventilation, safety, and daily movement matter first. Then compare the feng shui notes. Place important rooms where they support use. Avoid making costly changes from one reading. Instead, test small changes. Move furniture, improve entry clarity, and reduce clutter. Record each result. Over time, patterns become easier to judge.
Best Practice
Feng shui works best with observation. A calculator gives structure. Your home gives context. Combine both for better decisions.
Important Limitations
Different schools may place more weight on period charts, landform, or door use. This tool keeps the method simple. It does not replace a site visit. It also cannot judge personal taste, culture, or building limits. Treat every output as a starting point. Then adapt it to real life. Careful notes make future choices more reliable.
