myfs_98061 Posted November 30, 2003 Share Posted November 30, 2003 Hello Master Cecil (my Dad's name by the way :))I am so totally confused after much research on the net regarding directionality. I am attempting to establish the Ba-Gua in my apartment and have found articles stating to use Magnetic North and others that indicate 0 degrees is South. Help!! As I live in an apartment (building faces the N-NE direction, and my door to my apt. faces South-Southwest, I am also confused as to what direction to consider the House Facing direction. I would appreciate any input. Thank you, Susan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted November 30, 2003 Staff Share Posted November 30, 2003 Dear Susan,As the word "Compass School" Feng Shui suggests, it is the actual use of the magnetic compass i.e. to take a reading of the home/surroundings.And the "Traditional Authentic Compass School of Feng Shui" takes into consideration, the magnetic needle direction in relation to the position of a home or office or site.Therefore, anything that relates to `fixed' template is not really based on the Compass School of Feng Shui. For example some western "Black Hat Sect" type of FS, simple has a fixed layout plan and this is placed against the main door.Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 11/30/2003 8:16:14 PM, Anonymous wrote:Hello Master Cecil (my Dad'sname by the way :))I am sototally confused after muchresearch on the net regardingdirectionality.

myfs_98061 Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 Thank you so much Cecil for your very prompt response :) I think I feel most comfortable following the Traditional Compass School of thought, so I feel better about the current layout of my home. Thank you again and many blessings, Susan Quote On 11/30/2003 8:21:18 PM, Anonymous wrote:Dear Susan,As the word "Compass School"Feng Shui suggests, it is theactual use of the magneticcompass i.e. to take a readingof the home/surroundings.And the "Traditional AuthenticCompass School of Feng Shui"takes into consideration, themagnetic needle direction inrelation to the position of ahome or office or site.Therefore, anything thatrelates to `fixed' template isnot really based on theCompass School of Feng Shui.For example some western"Black Hat Sect" type of FS,simple has a fixed layout planand this is placed against themain door.Warmest Regards,CecilOn 11/30/2003 8:16:14 PM, Susan Bousewrote:Hello Master Cecil (my Dad'sname by the way :))I am sototally confused after muchresearch on the net regardingdirectionality.
