The reading is based on the following:

1. The year of construction or period in which the house was built.

2. The compass orientation is based on the sitting and facing of the house or property. The facing is determined usually by the location of the front door (click for detailed instructions).

This feng shui reading determines the "permanent" numbers and are considered part of the home's energy matrix.

The numbers 1 through 9 are associated with the feng shui compass directions and their corresponding elements (fire, wood, earth, metal and water) plus the center of the home.

One aspect of the feng shui assessment is to analyze the numbers in each area of the home and harmonize the elements associated with them.

For example, let's say the bedroom has a 3/8 combination. 3 = wood and 8 = earth; wood controls earth. In this 3/8 combination, the 8 is in the wealth/ career position and can be interpreted as 3 wood controlling or dominating the 8 earth wealth/career energy in the bedroom. As a consultant I would recommend to my client to place a red accent (perhaps a red candle) in this area of the home. The red candle or red accent serves to burn up the 3 wood and add to the 8 earth alieviating the dominating cycle of the elements and releasing the wealth/career postion of the 8 earth.

This is one feng shui factor I address when I am on a consultation.

If you are able to supply me with the compass reading according to the instructions given and the year of construction I will send you a customized one page report (see sample report) recommending which elements will harmonize the number combinations in the 8 areas plus the center of your home.
