Direction of the door
The so-called gate orientation means standing at the gate of the house, with the back inside the house and facing the outside. The orientation of the gate has always been valued by geomantic omen, which is the basis for many geomantic omen sects to judge the good or bad luck of the house. Therefore, before entering the gate, many Feng Shui teachers must use the compass to accurately determine the direction of the gate.
The east door.
The east is where the sun rises and the vitality originates. People often say "the east is red" and "purple gas comes from the east". The East is an auspicious place. In the Book of Changes, its five elements belong to wood, symbolizing growth and prosperity. Therefore, the geomantic omen facing east is very good, which can promote the health and study of residents.
The way to promote prosperity: enlarge the green leaves in the gate.
The gate faces southeast.
The southeast is the best place to meet the sunshine, rain and dew and receive the warm and humid airflow. Known as the "Finance Gate" in geomantic omen, it is the best place to make a door. The southeast gate should be wide and flat, which will inevitably bring good luck to the family.
The way to get rich: put fish tanks in the gate to raise fish.
The gate faces south.
The south is the location of the "Li" divination in the Eight Diagrams. The five elements belong to fire and the sun is strong, representing reputation and interpersonal relationships. The south gate is conducive to the prosperity of family luck and greatly enhances personal reputation and social skills.
The way to make money and treasure: hanging flower and bird paintings at the gate.
The gate faces southwest.
Southwest is the "ghost gate" in Feng Shui, where negative energy often gathers. This direction faces the lifeless sun that has gone down in the evening. So the gate facing southwest is very unfavorable.
Conditioning method: put a ceramic safety bottle in the gate.
The gateway to the west
The five elements belong to gold in the Book of Changes, which is the orientation of money and harvest, and also represents emotional marriage. But this position is biased towards yin qi. Although the door facing west is beneficial to wealth and marriage, it will harm the health of family members.
Conditioning method: it is best to set a porch and screen in the door.
The gate faces northwest.
Northwest China is the location of "Gan" in the Eight Diagrams. The original intention of dry is the sky. This is the place where the cathode comes first and withers. The door facing this direction can bring more positive energy to the home.
The way to promote prosperity: hanging landscape paintings at the gate.
North gate
The north is the birthplace of cold air flow, and the door faces north. When the cold wind comes in winter, it is hard to live, and it will also weaken the feelings between husband and wife, old and young.
Conditioning method: it is best to set a porch and screen in the door.
The gate faces northeast.
Northeast China belongs to the "ghost gate" in geomantic omen, and it is a place where something congenial and evil yin are heavier. It is also not conducive to sunshine and ventilation, so it is very unfavorable for the gate to face northeast.
Conditioning method: you can stick exorcism symbols on both sides of the gate and place stone lions outside the gate.
