Posted April 12, 199926 yr Hello,I am trying to get the compass barring correct for my apartment. The online example has the building plan horizontally to the North, however, my apartment plan is slightly tilted to north. Please correct me whether my attach drawing is drawn correctly? Or should I move my center to vertically facing North?Also, I intend to keep a terrapin in the NW balcony (see diagram). Is that the best location?Thank you always.Jon
Posted April 12, 199926 yr Dear Jon,Please note that the example provided in underhttp://www.geomancy.net/fs/house1.htm is only an example.Here are some guidelines:-1. Always take a reading from outside the house. E.g. on a vacant plot andtake a compass reading.2. Remember not to wear jewellery. And even if you take a reading on avacant plot, remember that there may be some metallic objects buried underit. So best to move around the area outside the house and take severalreadings.3. What happens if the readings differ slightly, you should instead use thereadings taken outside the house. In my own experience, as I use a ratherexpensive surveyor's compass, it is quite unaffected by metallic objectsinside or outside the house.After you have taken a reading, you should by now know where the North toSouth orientation of the house.4. Next superimpose our template on the layout plan with the North to Southorientation.Currently I am writing from an e-mail client, if you have correctly uploadedthe image, it will be in the Forum. Will check it out soonest.5. As for a terrapin, here you may have to use `intuitive' Feng Shui basedon your personal feelings as there as not much information for me to work onas you have not done a `real' FS assessment at your end to advise me on the`readings' etc...But frankly, such a small `pet' has not much impact unless you are having alarge aquarium in the house.Warmest Regards,Cecil-----Original Message-----From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'free-advice' suppressed suppressed>Date: Monday, April 12, 1999 10:10 AMSubject: Compass Orientation Quote From: "Jon Tan" This message is sent from "free-advice" Mailing List.Hello,I am trying to get the compass barring correct for my apartment.
