Over time and the millennia traditionally the hsien sheng, Feng Shui practitioners were Taoist priests who worked with a classic tool and utensil of theirs to best effect – the complex and complicated Feng Shui “compass”.

The “Feng Shui compass” had a magnetic north / south compass needle in the center surrounded by a full series of rings that gave various and varied information including 28 constellations, the full 360 degrees of the compass, the 72 “Dragon’s veins”, the 60 points of good and bad luck. The auspicious river directions and lastly not for those of the faint of heart – good and bad positions of burial. However for those who wish to simply apply the practices and principles to best use in their lives may find that all they need is a small run of the mill hand-held compass to tell you which way your home faces. This is determined by the position of your front door (or the door that you and your family normally use to both enter and exit your abode).

To conduct this lay of the land procedure with your simple hand-held compass stand at your front door- with your front door in an open position and thus determine in which direction are you facing. According to ancient Feng Shui principles, which evolved over eons and are time tested over the ages and generations of mankind, you should ideally face and be facing in a south or south-east direction. Why so? This is because your house can be said to be divided into eight areas which are called or referred to as “enrichments” Each area of your home covers a vital aspect of human life. The first area, which is always in the south section of the house, is your fame and reputation area. Thus ideally, as you open the front door and step outside you are stepping out into your fame and glory and standing in both your real and imagined world of what you may evolve and blossom into.

The “Eight Enrichments “, with their relevant compass directions are : fame – south, wealth and money – south east, education – east; children – north east; relationships – north-west; pleasure -west; health- south west. In an ideal world and abode your front door would open into your “fame ” area, while your relationships , friends and children area would be in the north or in the back of your home where they could be protected with care and nurtured.

Yet what if in reality and the real world you house does face another direction. After all we always don’t have control over the lay of the land, and how the city fathers or property developers assigned the basic layout of your neighborhood and its streets, avenues and roadways. As examples suppose that your home faces due north, thus when you open up your front door you will be walking into your relationship enrichment zone or zones. This is the area that will receive the maximum benefit or focus in your life and lifetime. Thus you can make do and see which direction dominates your life simply by checking your house direction with that run-of-the-mill standard compass.
