"Sitting north and facing south" refers to which direction does the main door of the house open?

"Sitting west and facing east" means that the door or front faces east. In residential Feng Shui, if you stand at the center point of the house and face the door, the direction you are facing is "xiang". The opposite position to "xiang" is "sitting". No matter what the shape of the house is, the orientation of sitting and facing must be relative. For example, if the gate faces west, the house faces east and west; if the gate faces southeast, the house faces northwest.
