Directions — understand comparisons by birth data and purpose
Directions explains a direction in relation to the birth data and purpose you select. A door, bed or stove reading must be applied to the object it examines; do not transfer one object’s explanation to another.
What to prepare
Prepare the birth data and choices required by the branch, including gender for the rules where requested. Identify the direction of the relevant object. For degree measurements, follow the form’s convention and keep the compass away from interference.
Method
Eight Mansions compares a calculated group, cung phi, with eight directions. The group follows the current birth-data rules; each direction has its own name and meaning. This method does not provide a floor plan, door locations or ventilation details you have not entered.
How to read the result
Read the group, the direction examined and the reason for that branch’s result. Names such as Sinh Khí and Thiên Y belong to Eight Mansions terminology. Apply the explanation to the measured position without inventing other positions.
Example
To examine the head of a bed, confirm its direction using the form’s convention and enter the birth data. This does not answer a question about the stove opening; that needs its own purpose and information.
Frequently asked questions
Does a direction mean the same thing for everyone?
This approach compares it with the calculated group and purpose. Changing birth information or the object can change the explanation.
Can the result describe the entire home layout?
The reading contains no unprovided plan or positions. Consider what it does examine alongside circulation, light, ventilation and actual use.
Next step
Check the direction and object before starting. Read the terminology in the result and relate it to how you use the space.
