Is it appropiate to place toilet in the north sector ?

[tehmk]

Hi,
I have read articles on the elements for different sectors in a home. One thing that puzlled me is that it is considered inaspicious to place toilet/bath room in the north sector (career sector), the contradiction is there's water generated in toilet and bathroom. What's your opinion ?
Best Regards,

Dear Mr Teh,
If you click on this URL: http://www.geomancy.net/fs/theory.htm, you will
find an " old house " in Singapore that fits the Feng Shui model exactly.
The above house is based on the `perfect' model of North = Water (bathroom),
South (an octagon or fire roof) etc...
Although in the above example, you will see that the bathroom is in the
North, the old architects had cleverly placed the toilet bowl, off North or
0 degrees.
Why is this so?
The reason is because, generally the toilet bowl is inauspicious and by
placing it on the cardinal points e.g. North, NE, East, SE, South, SW and
NW, it may `land' on one of the e.g. personal directions of a person. To be
more exact, in the above house, it also does not fall within 15 degree
increments starting from 0 degrees so that it cannot land on one of the
compass 24 directions of the Flying Star Chart where there are 24
directions.
In Feng Shui, there is the Life Aspirations/Associations or Eight
Associations where each direction is given a significance e.g. North =
Career etc...
We have in this forum mentioned that although " identifying " each sector is
part of finding out the meaning of the various trigrams, it is not `valid'
to use this so widely.
Why?
This is because using North = Career is like saying that you are using a
fixed template. Unlike the Eight House Theory, where we have our
personalised Gua Number, the Life Aspirations uses none. It is like saying
that everyone's career sector is = North. If you examine it closely, if it
is so simple as this, can it work?
I had given an earlier example of three persons chasing a girl in the
office. All three competition to place a rose etc.. at their romance corner.
As there is only one girl, who will get her? Not possible three of `us'.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
