So, how to determine the sitting direction with a compass? Let's meet the compass first.
The base of the compass is square, representing the earth, and the middle is round, representing the sky, which is the land of Tianyuan.
The place where the compass is placed is called heaven and earth. One end of the compass is like a pair of small horns, pointing north and the other end pointing south. There are two red dots on the Tianchi chassis. Move the trumpet to the center of the point, which is due north.
On the compass, red represents auspiciousness and black represents danger, which is designed for the convenience of later scholars.
When the compass is idle, it must be flat, so that the magnetic needle can be in a leisurely state. If placed horizontally, the magnetic needle will fall to a fixed position and will soon fail. We must pay attention to this.
When placing the compass, pay attention to whether there is current or magnet nearby. If there is, the magnetic needle will soon fail.
A professional feng shui master should bring two compasses. When the needle is unstable, he will take out a second compass to determine whether the needle is invalid or disturbed by the magnetic field.
When looking for a home, where should I stand to measure? This is the secret of Feng Shui masters in past dynasties. I make an exception and make it public here.
To accurately measure the sitting direction of a house, you should stand outside the gate seven footprints (that is, about three steps) away from the gate and measure it facing the gate.
You put the compass on your chest, and the edge of the compass is in balance with the gate, so that you can accurately find out the direction of the mountain of the house.
