There are a few Feng Shui theories and concepts. Here, you have found out
that your house is a " South " House.
You should not look at the zodiac animal i.e. NE or North.

For a South House,

North = Longevity
NE = Disaster
East = Prosperity
SE = Health
S = Excellent
SW = Irritation
West = Spook
NW = Death

Here, preferable that you sleep with your HEAD facing any of the good
directions.

>And given my details, how should I cure a sharp corner pointed at my bed
(caused by the rectangular construction of the attached bathroom)? With a
windchime? Of what material? Of how many pieces? Moving the bed would put it
next to / in front of a window or a door.


The best way to avoid the sharp corner aimed at your bed is (where possible)
shift your bed to a location that is not affected by the sharp corner. If
you cannot really do so, and it is still pointed at your bed, one
alternative is that it is aimed at your legs (as a last resort).

If you shift the bed and it is in front of a window, you should leave space
between the bed and the window.

The alternative as you mentioned is a wind chime. But take note of the
following:-

1. Do not use a wind chime with 5 tubes.
2. The tubes have to be hallow.

I normally do not advise hanging a wind chime unless you have considered or
done a detailed Feng Shui audit such as using the Flying Star and /or
looking at your personal elements.

The question mark remains: Currently, I cannot advise you on the type of
wind chime used e.g. wood, metal without such knowledge. This is because
depending on your element strength the wrong wind chime used incorrectly may
do more damage than simply doing nothing at all.

Another point is that a wind chime in a `wrong' location or a location with
high concentration of YIN energy may inadvertently attrack a playful imp.
But here the only harm is restless sleep or nightmares. Alternatively, the
use of too many wind chimes may cause mental problems.

The other alternative is a plant but it is not adviseable to be placed in a
bedroom as plants grow and give off `yang' energy.

If you intend only to use the Eight House Theory, then I suggest, you may
have to use your personal intuition. For example, go and buy a wind chime
that you like.

Other than a wind chime there are few cures for the room.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
