Never estimate directions based on where you think the sun rises or sets! This kind of feng shui practice is rarely accurate, and reflects a careless approach, which seldom yields good results.

Consider the compass as an integral part of feng shui. It is, therefore, worthwhile to invest in a good, reliable personal compass. My advice is that you should look for one that has the degrees clearly marked around the outside edge. Compasses that are made with an accompanying ruler are quite useful when you are taking a door direction, because it always ensures that you have placed the compass square to the door.

It is also a good idea to look for a Western-style compass that shows the sub-divisions, or 24 mountains of the main directions. This will then make it extremely easy for you to add extra mileage to your little tool. This is because the 24 subdivisions of compass directions feature in almost all of the popular feng shui formulas, which have survived intact into the 21st century. Knowing how to get your bearings and the orientations of any home correctly and accurately is the vital first step to practicing feng shui.
