Front Door: Facing South

76 Comments

(In a previous blog, I wrote how the direction of your front door can impact your life in that house.)

If your front door faces south, this is a very good direction.

South represents the peak of the sun, the peak of summer and the peak of the day (noontime). It is very strong yang energy. It is ruled by the Fire Element.

What the South Represents

Living in a home that faces south, you and your family may have lots of attention from the community or in your careers. It is a social house. It is a place for fame, recognition and reputation.

This is a good home for a politician, however, you must be vigilant that good reputation is maintained, as you are in the spotlight. (The main door of the White House faces south!)

How to Activate the Energy of the South

To get the most benefit from this direction, use the Fire Element. Plant some red flowers outside your front door or paint the door red. Or you can also use the Wood Element, which supports Fire.  Tall shrubs flanking your entry, or wood furniture on your porch are good ways to add the Wood Element.

How to Tame the Fire

Too much Fire energy though can cause conflict in the home. Add a water feature outside the door can temper this energy. (The White House has both red flowers and a fountain!)

    Generally, a south-facing door (in the Northern hemisphere) is very auspicious. The door receives sunlight all day.

  5. Kiran Rao says

    We would be shifting to a west facing door.
    Just wanted to check whether the facing would suit my name

  6. Maureen says

    Hi Kiran,
    If your front door faces west, your back “sits” east. I would need your birthdate to see if that direction is compatible with your birth energy.

    Hi, DoB – 05/01/1976, planning to buy a South facing house in the Southern hemisphere. By South facing I mean the main door opens towards the South direction, Please advise.

  12. Ramu says

    Hi ,
    My name is Ramu (male) and DOB is : 25th-Dec-1982 ,can you please let me know which direction of house is good for me.

  13. Maureen says

    Hi Rami,
    You are a 9-East Group person. We go by the sitting direction of the home, which is opposite from the facing direction. So your best sitting directions are East, Southeast, South and North. Therefore, your best facing directions are opposite of that: West, Northwest, North and South. Good luck!

  14. Sarika says

    Hi,

    I am planning to buy a house , if i m entering the house it is north facing , is that good, from inside the house if i m coming out i m facing south … which is good

    Pls let me know thanks

  15. Maureen says

    If you are in the northern hemisphere, and while standing in the doorway looking out you are facing south, that is very fortunate – because your front door receives lots of sunlight.

  16. Ravi says

    Hi

    My name is Ravi and DOB is 13/04/1979. I am thinking of buying a house where when I enter from the main door I walk into the south direction. Is that good ?

    Thanks

  17. Maureen says

    Ravi,
    You are an East Group person and it is good for your house to “sit” south, which means that the front of the house faces north.

    Hi Maureen,

    Hi Maureen,

    My name is Suresh Parthasarathy living in Sydney, Australia. I have purchased the book and its very useful. Thank you.

    I have a question, I have purchased the land which is west facing not proper west facing.

    The builder has come out with the plan and the main door is facing South West. My Kua number is 4 and my wife Kua number is 5.

    I understand from the KUA number 4 the South West is not favourable direction, however for 5 the South West is good.

    Since I live in Southern Hemisphere, could you please let me know if the South West direction is good.

    Thanks

    Kind Regards
    Suresh

  61. Maureen says

    Hello Suresh,
    Yes, thank you for purchasing the ebook. Good questions!

    First, if you took a picture of the house, would you be looking at the West facing side or the SW side? Sometimes it’s a bit tricky figuring out the facing direction – it is not ALWAYS where the front door is located.

    If it’s SW – yes, this is a good direction for your wife. The house will be most supportive for her. If the front door cannot be changed, I would recommend that you make sure that your bed placement is one of your best directions (E, S, N, or SE). This way you are both covered. Also, if you bedroom could be placed in one of those sectors of the home, that would be another bonus for you.

    And, good question about Southern Hemisphere. The Kua directions don’t change – they are what they are.
    Please let me know if you are still needing help.

    Warmly,
    Maureen

    Hi Maureen,

    As suggested in your last post, we have the provision to in our plan to move the bed towards South East, however we are in a bit of a dilemma as to how to position our front door.

    In the current plan the door is facing south west (230-232 degrees) but we also have the choice for the door to be placed toward West (288-290 degrees). Which position do you recommend.?

    Please advise.

    Many Thanks

    Kind Regards

    Hi Maureen,

    I’m planning to buy a house but I don’t which direction suits me and my wife. My DOB is 28th July, 1985 and my wife’s DOB is 15th May, 1989.

    Thank you,
    Danny

  69. Maureen says

    SW is better for the front door. It’s your wife’s “Fu Wei” (stability) and it’s the lesser of an issue for your 4 Kua #.

  70. sureshparthas says

    Thank you for the clarifications Maureen, much appreciated.

    Hi Maureen,

    I am Anil living in USA (Northern hemisphere) and my DOB : Nov 2nd 1978.
    I am planning to buy a house having front door facing 176 degree South.
    Can you please check and let me know if that direction is favorable for me.

  73. SoCalGal says

    Hi Maureen!

    I know this is an old post , but I stumbled across it while looking up the direction for a house. My husband and I are looking to rent a house for about 1-2 years, the entire house faces south (Garage door, Front Door, Front of the house). His birthday is 10-09-63. A long time ago someone once told my husband that he’s a “North” person and I’m trying to look stuff up online to see if having a house facing South would be detrimental to him.

    Thank you!

    Hi Maureen,

    Please please help .. Me and my husband are planning to buy our dream family home but very confused which house direction will be good and lucky for us.

Plz guide us regarding house facing as this right house hunting is giving is sleepless nights. My husbands name is Arun Suri n His date of birth is 02.03.1982.. My name is divya Seth 12.05.1985 dd Samaira suri 21.04.2012 and a baby no 2 can arrive anytime (today is my due date ?) we currently like 3 properties, the one we like most is south east and other to are north facing and south west facing.. Thanks in advance xx

  76. Maureen says

    Hi Diva,
    Thank you for contacting me. Feng Shui is very different from Vastu. In fact, a North-facing house (in the Northern Hemisphere) is not auspicious because there is a lack of sun on the front door. I am available for a personal reading if you are interested. I charge $125. Please let me know if you are interested. I also have an eBook that will help you. Feng Shui Front Door. It’s only $4.97. You can find it here: https://www.luminous-spaces.com/feng-shui-front-door-ebook-digital-download/

    Best of luck to you!
    Warmly,
    Maureen
