Main Door/ Back Door

[myfs_79904]

Hi Cecil,
I have previously asked questions regarding the determination regarding main doors, and thanks for your illustration on finding out the direction of main doors.
My question today is that if I have a main door and a back door and the family were to use the back door to enter into the house more frequently, does that mean that the back door is now the front door in feng shui theory even though it's a smaller door than the front grand entrance?
Thanks again.

Dear Yew-Meng,
In Feng Shui, for the purpose of taking readings under the Flying Star Feng Shui; it is best to still take the compass readings from the main door.
Usually, under Flying Star Feng Shui, the two most common method of accessing a home is:-
1. As mentioned earlier, to take the compass direction of the main door from the centre-point.
2. Another method, using the luopan is to face the luopan (from inside the main door) facing outwards). Since the main door is often facing the frontage of the house.
3. In both cases, the concern is more of the main door or the frontage.
4. It is secondary, if you are using the back door as the main door here. As most of the analysis is or will be based more of the `frontage' area.
5. Since the readings are taken from the front / or main door direction, each sector can be looked at for any imbalance to correct it. Or if a mountain star is found at this backdoor area, it can be activated for luck.
6. As you can see, from the Compass School point of view, the back door will not be used as the main door.
7. It is highly detrimental if the backdoor is facing a hill. (WHERE, it now changes to become a FRONT or MAIN door). This is highly inauspicious.
7.1 For certain houses, that do it, may invite calamity i.e. changing such a door from being a back door to a main door.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
