Is The Direction Of My House In The Disaster Zone?

[myfs_88310]

Dear Master Cecil:
The North is my death section and the East is my disaster section.
I used a compass outside the main entrance of my house to identify the direction of the house. The direction is North 73 degree, which is right at the border of the NE zone (centered at 45 degrees from the North) and the East zone (centered at 90 degrees from the North). My measurement may not be accurate. By tilting a little bit, the direction of my house (say, between North 75 and North 80) could be closer to the East zone. Does it mean that I am doomed to disasters?
The corner of my house (which is sort of in the NNE) and the North of my house are blocked by the side of my next-door neighbor?s house (The North is my death section). Should I put a convex mirror at "that corner" of my house to reflect my neighbor's house back?
Your advices would be greatly appreciated.
Jen

Please re-check with this url to confirm if you had taken the readings properly:-

doomed to disasters?

As I have already analysed, several thousands of cases so far, the characteristics of such a house is as follows:-
1. If the house is considered very unsuitable for the breadwinner: especially death or disaster sector:
1.1 This is already ONE HANDICAP to the breadwinner.
1.2 As the breadwinner stays in the house for several years and if there are many leaks either several minor + even 1 or two major leaks may cause financial problems.
1.3 As we are aware, if we continue to have financial problems; things can deteoriate e.g. health, marriage problems and this leads to a vicious cycle.
Therefore, please don't get me wrong that just one senario e.g. the house is very unsuitable is the `end of the world'.
I have seen many cases, where, fortunately, the Shapes and Forms is the saviour. And this has significantly pulled the luck up. Inclusive of proper use of Ba Zi or Ba Zi Feng Shui.

It is difficult to comment on this statement. Please provide a reasonable sketch.
Else, it is very dangerous to comment on what u had mentioned. This depends on the distance of the neighbour's side of the house, where it `hits' your home, whether, there is fencing or plants that shield the house, whether the neighbour's house is double or single storey etc.... I am afraid, I simply cannot answer this without such inputs. A picture (if possible would be nice, thou).

Dear Master Cecil:
Thank you for your reply. I am still unclear about the direction of a house in terms of the magnetic "degree". For example, the NE is centered at 45 degree; therefore, degree 30 to degree 60 would definitely be considered as the NE direction (am I correct?). The East is centered at 90 degree; therefore, degree 75 to degree 105 would definitely under the influence of the East direction.
What if the facing of the house is in between 60 degree and 75 degree? Do we strictly divide the zone by two? And thus, under 67.5 degree falls into the NE and above 67.5 falls into the East? Sometimes, we are unable to accurately measure the difference of one degree or 0.5 degree.
Is there an answer to this kind of question? Thanks a lot.
With Warmest Regards,
Jen

Dear Jen,
AS IT IS
1. It does not matter if the centre of NE is 45 degrees or N = 0 degrees or East = 90 degrees.
2. What is more important is which is the actual compass degree at your main door.
For example, if the main door is at NE; most of the time is it not possible to be exactly at 45 degrees.
Then, what is the degree?
The degree should be the actual degree at the mid-point of the main door.
For example, if a reading may be taken, it could be at say exactly 37 degrees.

It is best to invest in a protractor. For example, there are many brands e.g. Saintograph 360 degree protractor.

The easiest is to JUST find the North to South marking (degree). And an additional confirmation of the East-West marking (degree).
No one is expected to use an ordinary compass to find the difference in one degree or 0.5 degree. As it is impossible, unless one buys an expensive Surveyor's compass.
After one has superimposed the North to South and East to West compass direction of the home, simply use a protractor as mentioned above to locate the EXACT compass direction.
Anyway, even if one is applying Flying Star 24 direction's analysis, the deviation allowed is 15 degrees tolerance per direction. And not 1 degree or 0.5 degrees tolerance.
The other option is, you know of any friends who are engineers or even children, children's friends that are studying engineering or even engaging a surveyor who can at the last resort help out to determine the compass direction of the house.
However, I seriously think that it is not as complicated as it sounds.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Jen,
1. Attached please find an illustration of how one can use a protractor to find the main entrance door.
2. A protractor can either be a 360 degrees one as shown in the attached. Or even a 180 degrees protractor is still possible to use.
3. In my opinion, a protractor similar to the one in the picture can easily be purchased in a book or stationery store. And such a protractor costs between US$1 to US$4 or less.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
