To define the facing of a house is no easy task. In most houses the door is opened at the front. The door facing is the facing of the house. A house usually faces a street, so does the door. For most houses we can agree on the definition of facing.

Some houses have their front doors at an angle to the front of the house but the front and back of the house are well defined. In such cases the facing of the front of the house is the facing of the house. The facing of the door is different in such cases. It is the facing of the house that defines the star allocation of the house and is therefore more important. The location of the door is important as this defines the kind of energy (qi) entering the house. The facing of the door will define the amount of such energy entering the house.

Sometimes it is not easy to visualize the front and the back of a house. In such cases we have to take into consideration the following:

• The side of the house that admits most light into the house.
• The location of the foyer.
• The location of the road/street/path leading to the house.

The guideline is that facing is yang and sitting is yin. Yang is bright, active, movement. Yin is dark, inactive and stationary. Since there are new designs of houses all the time we have to use valid reasoning to determine the facing. There is no simple rule to follow.

For high rise apartments, the situation is even more complicated. I will talk about that in the next lesson.
