can southwest people live in north facing houses?

Dear teachers,

thank you for giving us the opportunity to ask questions through your advice section. It is a good feeling to have a recource other than books! here is my question for you:

I am a youg woman born in 1978 (august 9th in mid-morning 9-10 am) and I have recently found an apartment that I am happy with. When I looked up my house direction infeng shui books, I learned I am a southwest (Kua 2) house, and that my best directions are related to the west. the way my house is designed seems like is might be a problem for my elements and geomancy type!

when you enter my building, it is through a north facing main door. there is a foyer and you enter my house through an east door. there is a smallroom which is a bedroom/ living room combination with windows on the north side. a small hallway witha bathroom to the west leads to a kitchen in the direction of south.

my question for you is: I am a southwest person, so does this mean when I puta chart on a blueprint I should use the chart for the southwest house - so that the north for me would still be in the death position, the northwest longevity and so on? this is not where my main door is facing, so should I use a north house chart instead? once I know which directions are best for me in my house, I can decide where to arrange my furniture and pick the right colors to use(wood and earth colors, I think)and also if the bathroom being in the west is a problem!

so you can see, me being a southwest person, what advice would you have for making the chi in a north facing house as positive and good as possible? all advice is welcome!

thank you so much and best to you!

For the Eight House / Flying Starchart, orientate the North position of the house to the North of yoru Eight House chart. This means, that if your main door is North then North will fall under your Death sector.

Only difference is that for Flying Star chart, the chart will be different depending on what is the actual house facing direction. So if your frontage of the house is North, then you generate the North (depending on N1/N2/N3 direction), then orientate the chart based on the North position.

You cannot use another direction of chart etc. Once you have these properly done, then you use the chart to assess if the house is suitable, whether there are necessary corrections etc.

It does not mean that you are South-West person, means you use a South-West Flying Star chart to match the house. The house chart is based on the frontage of the house. So if the house is North facing, then you use a North facing flying star chart.

But based on your main door facing it lookslike this house won't be suitable for you. In fact, as a West Group person, you would benefit most if your house is NE/SW Facing especially if the house is built after 2004 (Period 8).

Hope that helps.
