Applying the energy chart to the floor-plan
The Facing of a house is defined as the side most open to Yang Qi. It is important to consider the effect environmental Qi has on the building as these combine within to create the house star-chart - - - the home's own horoscope, if you will.
When assessing a home I am looking to see that it will support its people to the potentials that they desire. Once the star chart (the natal/horoscope chart) is placed over the floor-plan, the home's own character can be revealed. Interpretation of these combinations give indication to the types of events which may transpire – some positive and others not so much. The key to understanding a chart is to knowing how to work with it.
Traditional feng shui is not about painting a door or placing a waving cat, it is about feeling the energy and using it accordingly.
