myfs_80424 Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Hi CecilI have purchased a normal (simple one with the 8 directions) compass and would like to make sure that I am reading them correctly.If I placed the compass on the floor of my main door (pls see attached simple drawing) and the North needle points to the right side of the door, does it means that my main door is actually facing the West (slightly SW)?Thank you.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted April 7, 2002 Staff Share Posted April 7, 2002 Dear Anon,Thank you for sketching the illustration.If one is using an ordinary compass, then this is the wrong way to use it:1. Avoid placing the compass on the floor as the compass may skew or deviate.2. The illustration, to find the centrepoint of the house is not correct.Please review this illustration:-http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-cecilcompass.htm3. You need to take the compass direction of the main door from the centrepoint of the house.Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 4/5/2002 4:19:00 AM, Anonymous wrote:Hi CecilI have purchased a normal(simple one with the 8directions) compass and wouldlike to make sure that I amreading them correctly.If I placed the compass on thefloor of my main door (pls seeattached simple drawing) andthe North needle points to theright side of the door, doesit means that my main door isactually facing the West(slightly SW)?Thank you.
