I am new to Feng Shui. Can anyone advise me on how to establish directions in a studio apartment. ie. for main door, do I read it as the main door of the building or of my apartment; if my living room and bedroom are combined, how do I work that out? I'm sorry if this is really basic, but I'm a bit lost.

Dear Gina,
There is a non-computerised module using html at
http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm which teaches you how to establish
directions for a home. To find out more, you can check this page.
In brief, even if it is a studio apartment:-
1. Obtain an ordinary compass.
2. Stand at the centre of the studio apartment.
3. Use the ordinary compass and look at the direction of your main entrance
door. (The mid-point of the door). Read the compass direction. The
direction the compass is facing is considered the house's direction. For
example if the compass points to South, 180 degrees, then the house is
considered a " South House " under the Eight House Theory.
To find out more on how to use a compass, it would be good if you could
follow the advice provided under http://www.geomancy.net/fs/compass.htm
Here, you should also take readings from an empty plot of land outside your
home to `check' on the compass direction. Some apartments are above a
electrical substation or other `magnetic' influences where the compass
direction may differ by a few degrees or more.
Regards,
Cecil

I looked at the Ba Kua, and I'm still confused where my living room is, what area. As I enter my front door, my door is on the right side. On my left, is my living room. Small living room though. I'm confused if my living room is in the career area or the knowlege area. Can anybody tell me.

Dear Karen,
It would be good if you can relook at a step-by-step guide on house to
perform a Eight House analysis at this URL:
http://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm
I know everyone wants a `quick fix' solution and only think of e.g. the
career sector. But to be frank, this is considered " Fast Food Feng Shui ".
As I mentioned in a few messages in this forum that the Eight Associations
or Eight Aspirations or Life Aspirations is only a general guide ... not to
be taken seriously .. until every other Feng Shui theory has been taken care
off especially the Flying Star Chart.
Even under the Eight Associations, the time factor should be taken care of.
For those who want to find out more, Robert will at a later date create a
more accurate software program to find out your `moving' Eight Aspirations
rather than depend on the current static model. Again, the Eight
Associations is again secondary Feng Shui.
Anyone interested merely to zoom in to get `immediate' results from your so
called " career or wealth corners " I believe will either be `very lucky' to
find it or be truly disappointed with " Feng Shui".
Traditional Feng Shui does not depend only on this `hope' but rather a more
`holistic' approach to Feng Shui where all the various theories are used to
the fullest.
Warmest Regards
Cecil Lee
