Dear Cecil,
I studied your book "Applied Fung Shui Made Easy." I found that my kua is 1. My front door faces almost directly west. Since the house is a Metal house, and I am weak Fire, this house should be "wrong" for me. Also, according to the Eight House theory, the house is unsuitable because my front door occupies the Disaster line, my bedroom occupies the Death line, and my workroom (where I spend a lot of time) the Irritation line. Yet when I examined the house, before I knew much about FS, I liked what I saw and I felt that it was "right" for me. The rooms that are supposedly "bad" for me seem perfectly fine. I don't care to spend much time in one room that is supposedly "good" i.e., the room with Prosperity line.

I think what I am wondering is, how strictly should the Eight House theory be followed?

In past forum discussions, you and Robert reminded us to follow our instincts. May I have your thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance.
