Dear Anon,

If one uses the Chinese compass or Luopan to analyse a direction, here, there is the sitting and facing direction.

What this means is that on the compass or Luopan, e.g. the compass direction facing the main entrance door is the facing direction while the sitting direction refers to the opposite direction.

Thus it is like looking at e.g. O degrees and 180 degrees on the compass or luopan where 0 degrees is the facing direction while 180 degrees refers to the sitting position.

It is normally used in conjunction with the Chinese luopan.

On this site, since many users do not have a luopan, we have adopted the `regular' or ordinary compass method.

Warmest Regards,
