How to determine the sitting direction of a house
Source: Dr. Zheng’s blog post
If you want to correctly determine whether the feng shui of your house is good or bad, you must first know the direction of the house. In ancient times, houses were all arranged to face north and south. Since the house had only one gate, the direction was very clear and easy to distinguish. Modern houses are different. They have the direction of the door of the unit building and the door of their own home. At the same time, the open part of the living room balcony is larger, the room is transparent, and there is no feeling of being backed up. So how to determine the direction of the house in this case? Let’s take a look at what Dr. Zheng said. 1. What is the sitting direction of Wuzhai?
The sitting direction of Wuzhai is derived from the front and rear positions of people sitting. When a person sits, the direction of his back is "sitting". The direction of the front of the body is "direction". The "sitting" of a house is the azimuth angle of the rear end of the axis on the ground plane in the longitudinal construction of the house, and the "direction" is the azimuth angle of the front end of this central axis. 2. How to express the sitting direction of the house?
In Feng Shui, "east, west, north, south" is not used to express the orientation, but more precise and different "mountains" are used to represent different orientation angles. For example: Zi = north; Wu = south; Mao = east; You = west. Dr. Zheng reminds friends that in order to clearly express the sitting direction of the house, you need to first understand the Bagua Palace.
Bagua is a set of symbolic symbols in ancient my country. Use "one" to represent Yang, use "--" to represent Yin, and use three such symbols to form eight forms, called Bagua. Each hexagram represents a certain thing. Qian represents heaven, Kun represents earth, Kan represents water, Li represents fire, Zhen represents thunder, Gen (gèn) represents mountain, Xun (xùn) represents wind, and Dui represents Ze. The eight trigrams are combined with each other to obtain sixty-four hexagrams, which are used to symbolize various natural and human phenomena.
The eight hexagrams of the Bagua Palace represent the southeast, northwest, "Zhen" Palace rules the east, "Xun" Palace rules the southeast, "Li" Palace rules the South, and "Kun" Palace rules the south. The palace lord is southwest, the "Dui" palace lords the west, the "Qian" palace lords the northwest, the "Kan" palace lords the north, and the "Gen" palace lords the northeast.
Dr. Zheng once again reminded friends that in addition to the eight house directions, Feng Shui also uses twenty-four more precise directions to determine good and bad luck. Each direction occupies fifteen degrees and is called the Twenty-Four Mountains. They are made up of the eight heavenly stems (without Wu and Ji) among the ten heavenly stems, the twelve earthly branches, and the Xun, Kun, Qian, and Gen in the Eight Diagrams. Composition: A, Mao, Yi; Chen, Xun, Si; Bing, Wu, Ding; Wei, Kun, Shen; Geng, You, Xin; Xu, Qian, Hai; Ren, Zi, Gui; Chou, Gen, Yin.
In Feng Shui theory, "Mao" represents the east, "Wu" represents the south, "You" represents the west, "Zi" represents the north, "Xun" represents the southeast, and "Xun" represents the southeast. "Kun" represents true southwest, "Qian" represents true northwest, and "Gen" represents true northeast. This is the main mountain of each hexagram, and its two sides are tilted to another direction. For example, "Chen, Xun, and Si" belong to the southeast, "Xun" is due southeast, and "Chen" belongs to the southeast and is tilted to the east, which is called Southeast by east, and "Si" belongs to the south in the southeast, so it is called southeast by south. The other twenty-four mountains are like this.
As can be seen from the above, the Bagua is divided into twenty-four mountains, and one hexagram governs three mountains. The relevant directions are as follows: True North: the three mountains of "Ren, Zi, and Gui", also known as "Kan Gua" Northeast : The three mountains "Chou, Gen and Yin", also known as "Gen Gua" Zhengdong: The three mountains "Jia, Mao and Yi", also known as "Zhen Gua" Southeast: The three mountains "Chen, Xun and Si" , also known as "Xun Gua". To the south: the three mountains "Bing, Wu and Ding", also known as "Li Gua". To the southwest: the three mountains "Wei, Kun and Shen", also known as "Kun Gua". To the west: " The three mountains of "Geng, You and Xin" are also called "Dui Gua". The northwest: the three mountains of "Xu, Qian and Hai" are also called "Qian Gua". 3. How to determine the sitting direction of a house
Well, through Dr. Zheng’s introduction, friends already know the location of Mount Twenty-Four. Now you can determine the sitting direction of your house. The method is: Find the center point of the house, which is the "vertical point" in Feng Shui theory. On this pole, first use a compass and other instruments to find the true south and true north of the house. Then gradually radiate 24-directional lines according to the east, west, north and west of the house. For professionals, you can use a polar compass to help get the relevant directions of the house.
4. Precautions for determining the sitting direction of your own house. Any sitting direction includes the sitting direction of the house and the sitting direction of the door. The orientation of the door and the house may be the same or different. Modern urban houses have complex shapes, and the seating orientation requires detailed analysis of specific situations. Generally speaking, the sitting direction of a house is determined by the air receiving opening, that is, the side with the largest air receiving area is oriented. Usually the door direction of villas and courtyard houses is consistent with the direction of the house, while the balcony is the direction of the building. For example, in some houses, the balcony in the living room is very large, so the air intake port is the largest. The balcony should be oriented, and the door can be regarded as the air inlet. If the door is in an auspicious position, it is auspicious. The orientation of the house is more complicated. In line with the requirements of Feng Shui, the house must have a backrest, an open front, and supports on the left and right. The orientation must be able to attract strong Qi, not weak Qi. Sometimes it is also necessary to check whether the orientation of the balcony of the house can incorporate the prosperous energy. Which houses face the most prosperous directions? For example, taking the eight-year-old house after 2004, the Zishan Wu direction, Guishan Ding direction (north to south), Choushan Wei direction (northeast to southwest), Weishan Chou direction (southwest to northeast), etc. If the directions are prosperous, you can receive prosperous energy; if the Renshan Bing direction (sitting north facing south), Shenshan Yin direction (sitting southwest facing northeast), Youshan Mao direction (sitting west facing east) and other sitting directions are not prosperous. The origin of the house is different from the pole. The pole is the center of gravity of the entire Yangzhai. It is the place where the compass is set to measure the eight directions and determine the five elements. The origin is the place where people spend the longest time. 5. How to adjust a house with a bad sitting direction
It is very important to carefully and carefully determine the sitting direction of your own house. It is related to whether your home is comfortable or not, whether it is auspicious or not, and whether it is bad or not. question. If it is an office, the sitting orientation issue is also related to the development of the company, such as whether the company can develop smoothly, whether the personnel are united, whether the capital flow is appropriate, etc. Therefore, the first thing we should pay attention to when buying or renting a house is the direction of the house. If the direction of the house is not good, I am afraid that your house will bring you a lot of trouble.
Friends who have bought or rented a house may say, if my house is not facing well, can it be solved? Do I still have to move out of this house? Good question!
If you find that the orientation of the house where you live or work is very poor, or even on the line of death, then of course moving out and changing to a house with a better orientation is the first choice; if the conditions If it is not allowed, then we should settle for the next best thing and make corresponding adjustments.
