Thoroughly confused about Eight House Theory

[suda]

Dear Cecil,
First of all, thanks for creating this very informative site. I have been reading it up with great interest. I am trying out the eight house plan, except I am totally spaced out trying to apply it.
We live in a house with main door facing NE. We both sisters earn, but my elder sister is the one who handles all the cheques, etc. So I am treating her as main breadwinner. now the NE facing house suits my sister and parents, but according to the eight house theory, mine is a South East house.
So all their good lines are my bad lines and vice versa! . So how do I tackle these:
1. For me, the Death line comes thru' the wall from which the main door opens out. Will keeping a statue of a Hindu deity behind the main door help?
2. In the living room, we have the TV in the east corner. It takes care of the Irritation line of my family, but the same is the Longevity line for me. What other cure can be applied?
3. The Death line for them goes thru' the wall dividing the toilet and bathroom. There is also a geyser on the bathroom wall. The same is my Excellent line. How to tackle this?
4. Also,I tried out a basic pillars of destiny report which termed me and my sister as weak Water Tigers. How then do we strengthen this element - with Metal and Wood?
Please reply in as detail as possible.
Thanks,
Sudha Moorthy

The most important points to consider when using the Eight House is:
1. How suitable is the house to the breadwinner. As you have mentioned you can take into consideration your elder sister as the breadwinner.
Preferably, the death or disaster intangible forces do not flow thru the main door for her. In this case, it is considered that the house is not suitable for her.
2. For yourself, it is less of a concern other than to check which locations you spent most of the time at. For example, where best, the inauspicious intangible lines do not flow thru your bedroom.
Check out for the rest of your sisters. Where possible they sleep closer to a good intangible force.
If you are sharing a bed with any of your sisters, for example for yourself the intangible force is `irritation' while your sister is `health'. She sleeps closer to this intangible force and you can `use her as a shield'.

line of my family, but the

me. What other cure can be

As mentioned, under the Eight house theory, you should be more concerned with locations that spent most of your time such as the bedrooms. Other locations even if the intangible force is good but `occupied' by objects, it is less of a `concern'.
This is because the Eight House is chiefly used to look at how suitable a house is to the person/breadwinner and where best, take advantage of sleeping at a good intangible force.
Other FS theories takes into account a specific sector. Such as the Flying Star Theory and the Ba Zhi Feng Shui.
Only after you have taken into consideration a good intangible force / location such as for the bed, you may after this look at whether it is possible to sleep with the head facing a good direction. It is nice to have but of secondary importance under the Eight Houst Theory.

This questioned is covered above. For the toilet, it is good to have an inauspicious intangible force at this location.

The basic report does not show whether your sister is a "weak tiger (??)". It shows you your element but not the strength. I am unable to comment further on this at the moment.
