Sorry but confused about Feng Shui

[myfs_148435]

Hello this is my first post here.
This may seem rather silly but I am stuck on a very basic topic and without answers I cannot move forward.
I have used all the free reports available here and still can't decide if I am right or wrong about directions and magnetic compass points.
My sleep report says that my best position is North West.
Direction: North-West
Exact Degree: 292.5 to 337.4
Description: This is your Longevity direction.
However I am sleeping with my head towards North East.
Direction: North-East
Exact Degree: 22.5 to 67.4
Description: This is your Prosperity direction.
Please could someone advise if this is magnetic north.
I am a bit confused as my front door faces South West and according to some Feng Shui literature I am reading the front door is always considered as North.
Sorry if my question seems ridiculous to you but often the most simple things are the hardest to grasp.
Thank you for reading.
Best regards.
Dale

These are some considerations:-
1. You said: " I am a bit confused as my front door faces South West and according to some Feng Shui literature I am reading the front door is always considered as North."
1.1. No, I believe such literature belongs to the "Hocus Pocus" type of dubious Fung Sway and not real Feng Shui sites.
1.2. If I were you, I avoid such sites like the "plaque" or H1N1 or even A.I.D.s .. sort of thing.
2. Traditional Feng Shui uses two major schools:
2.1. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui
2.2. Compass School: Eight House (4 Good/Bad) and Flying Star Feng Shui
3. Thus as the name "Compass School" suggests; one requires to use a REAL compass.
3.1. So how can all main doors face NORTH right? If one uses a REAL compass; compass direction varies with the compass needle when taking a reading.
3.2. As a guideline when taking a compass reading; one has to be careful of not having the reading(s) affected by the re-inforced steel bars found in the columns or floors of homes or offices as it may often affect the compass reading.

3.3 Another guidline is often the use of a protactor, a streetdirectory map. See attachment.

Thank you so much for your reply I very much appreciate it.
It has made things very clear for me and now I can proceed with confidence.
I do have a very good compass and as a matter of interest if you have Google Earth and then zoom down to look at your property, at the top of the page in "TOOLS" there is an option for "RULER" click this and the click two points on your property this will give you a very accurate direction of your property.
I have double checked this with my compass and it is very accurate.
Of course not to be relied upon but as a way to double check it is invaluable.
My best regards and thanks again.
Dale.
