Good day. I am new to this group. I have a question: I am an East group person and have an office with a wall length window opposite the main entrance. Shall I place my desk facing the window and my best direction (E) or shall I face the door and face a bad direction (W). What is more important - form or compass? Thank you.

Dear Anon,

Frankly, it depends.

This is because if one is the boss, than, one can easily face either way and no one can "talk-bad-about" us.

For example, in Singapore, a person or the boss who usually has his own personal room, often employs a FS practitioner to best orientate his/her office table. And many staff under him or even the entire company is aware that he/she has engaged a practitioner to look at the best position of office and his specific room arrangement.

However, if one does it alone; for example, if the rest of the colleagues face a specific direction, then, it would be best that you (the person) face a smiliar position.

Since, facing a different direction could perhaps "invite talk" or symbolically show that one is either a "non-conformer" or in this case, facing the window with the door behind could imply that one "turns his/her back" to the work or others.

Often, as much as we like to face a good direction, we also need to understand the mechanics of office-politics/teamwork and such gestures could be taken as a negative to us - if interpreted the wrong way.

Given this, sometimes, it is still better to "conform" to the norm or most likely this often goes along the Shapes and forms type of school as opposed to the Compass school Feng Shui.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
