How about sitting in an east-west house in the countryside and opening the north gate?

From the perspective of geomantic omen, it may not be good to sit in an east-west house in the countryside and open the north gate. This is mainly because the east-west feng shui pattern of the North Gate is not good. Specifically:

1. Beimendong: Beimendong has formed a bad feng shui pattern, which is called "five ghosts wear the heart". This pattern has a great influence on family feng shui.

2. North Gate and West: North Gate and West have formed a bad feng shui pattern, which is called "five ghosts wear the heart". This pattern has a great influence on family feng shui.

So in general, it may not be good to sit in an east-west house in the countryside and open the north gate. Of course, it depends on personal beliefs and local customs.
