Marc, your comment is 100% relatable as every home is going to have its own directional orientation depending on building and such so ultimately as you stand at the entrance of your house, you will get a sense of where the energy is gathered most. Where do you spend the most time, where is the most natural light, where in the house do you feel the most attracted to, your intuition matters greatly and will guide you in the right direction. Remember ultimately it’s all in the intentions. What you believe matters most.
Our home isn’t oriented the way it explains in the description. The four corners are the opposite of what it describes. Our front left quadrant (wealth) is in the SW and the front right quadrant (relationships) in the NW. Our rear left quadrant (knowledge) is in the SE and travel is in the NE. The building cannot be re-oriented. Does this matter greatly?
