When a house is sitting on the southeast sector, it is deemed as a Xun house with kua number 4 in 8 mansions feng shui.
Such a dwelling will fall into the category of east group houses where the directions of north, south, east and southeast are favorable. And the directions of west, southwest, northeast and northwest are unfavorable.
The energy map is illustrated below.
As can be observed above, the favorable sectors are clustered at the back of the house with the only favorable sector at the front is the sheng qi sector at the north.
This means that for houses facing northwest, and thus sitting southeast, the flexibility of locating the front door at the facing of the house is quite limited. There is also no leeway for a main door at either sides.
But if the main door is at the rear of the house, then any sector along the back of the house is acceptable.
When that is the case, then the sheng qi sector is best used as a home office as it has energy that enhances wealth luck.
Another implication that should be obvious to homeowners is that bedrooms are best located at the back section of the house if he or she don’t want any bedroom afflicted by negative energy.
If one seeks recover from medical conditions, then the best area to set up a recovery and recuperation room is one situated at the south.
The kitchen can be planned for any of the unfavorable sectors as this is how kitchens are assessed in 8 mansions. It should also avoid being placed as the central palace of the house as this is a basic feng shui taboo.
