How to determine the facing of the house?

A lady in Gurgaon called me one day. They were buying a new apartment and she was unsure because she determined that the entrance is south facing while the owner was saying that the entrance is North Facing. She was totally confused.

“Manoj ji, when I enter the house with a compass in hand the compass shows South in front of me. This means that the house is South facing. Correct?”

Before I could say anything she continued, “The owner is telling that I am measuring it wrong and I should stand on the door and face outside while determine the facing of the apartment. Is that correct?”

“The owner is right Madam.” I explained, “You should determine the facing of the house when you are going out from the house and not when you are coming in.”

This is a very common mistake made by people and can make the whole vastu analysis wrong. When Vastu audit is done remotely the consultant is dependent on the client to give him the directions.

Stand with the compass in hand at the main entry of the house and facing outside. See what the direction in front of you is. That is the direction your house faces.

This is illustrated by three diagrams

1.      Figure 1 shows the correct method of measurement

2.      Figure 2 shows the wrong method of measurement

3.      Figure 3 shows the correct method from a different perspective

Hope it brings clarity. If it does not please comment on where there is confusion and I will try to explain it in a better manner.
