Having problems determining facing direction with Flying Stars Feng Shui?

by \!/_PeacePlusOne

Question by 714ms3 on "Feng Shui":

I'm currently reading "A Master Course in Feng-Shui" by Eva Wong and I'm trying to determine my house's facing direction so I can set up the geomatic chart, but I'm having a bit of a problem. I originally thought the house was facing towards Yin, but the more I look at it it appears to start off at Yin but crosses Chia. The house is on a cul-de-sac so the house is angled a bit weird. As it stands it almost starts off right between Yin and Chia. In a situation like this, do I go off of where it starts, ends, or is there something else I should do? Also, when you lay the chart over the floor plan, do you include the garage? Her book doesn't include the garage, but several websites do.

when you have a problem regarding strange in betweens, my only advice is to use a good compass or luo pan. take many measurements as you can. then do the flying star chart for both. and try to observe which chart is near or describes your life in that house. by drawing both charts you can draw out conclusions on how life can be in both charts. compare that to what is happening with your life. the most important thing in flying stars is you always get where the most yang comes from. for example, a house faces east, that has a road, but it also has a large window/s facing the sea - in this case, sea is water, which is one of the 5 elements and therefore it is stronger than the road as water. so you can take the window to be the facing. but just to be sure, i would do both charts and observe for whatever is nearer. you need to realize regarding basing all of your knowledge on a book - most books including books by lillian too, eva wong and joey yap - these books only teach you the basic things about the methods they are teaching. all authors do not teach the advanced uses of the methods. so you need to know that each room in the house actually have their own functions in fengshui. so you kinda need to match what room goes to what area - to optimize the energy in that room, and eventually make that energy manifest in your life. like a kitchen can draw in money when you put the stove in the correct position/ location. regarding cul de sac, it's not really the best location to be. and there is no workaround or remedy. but you can still use flying stars to optimize the fengshui inside the house, and maybe use xuan kong da gua to attract the good energy outside inward - kinda negating or lessen the effects of the cul de sac. just an idea. yes you include all parts of the house (all that you use). so for example, you live in a condominium. the front door is the door at the ground floor, then all units kinda have the same flying star charts. it just gets complicated if the building has more than 1 main entrances - then you need to make the charts for all. i think eva wong kinda implied that the garage is included. there area certain differences between houses in the usa and the rest of the world - but in fengshui, you consider the whole house as 1 unit, its center as its heart or yours. for this reason, it is bad to have the center of the house as a post/ beam/ water pipe/ sewage pipe/ stairs.
