The system will analyze all 8 directions and identify the 4 auspicious and 4 inauspicious directions specifically for your birth year and gender.

How to determine your house direction

To accurately find your house direction, stand inside your house looking out through the main front door. Use a compass or a compass app on your phone. The direction the main door faces is your house direction. It is not necessarily the direction the street faces or the balcony faces.

The Eight Mansions (Ba Zhai) Method

The Eight Mansions (Ba Zhai) is one of the most ancient and popular Feng Shui systems. It divides people into two groups based on their birth year and gender:

  • East Group (Dong Si Ming): Best suited for houses facing East, Southeast, South, or North.

  • West Group (Xi Si Ming): Best suited for houses facing West, Southwest, Northwest, or Northeast.

Every person has 4 auspicious directions (bringing wealth, health, longevity, and peace) and 4 inauspicious directions (bringing disaster, illness, conflict, and loss). Our calculator uses your birth data to find exactly which directions belong to which category for you.
