There is a difference between the “sitting side” of a house and the actual “sitting sector.”
The sitting side is the entire back side, the back wall of a structure. The sitting sector on the other hand is just one part of the sitting side. The sitting sector is the back middle portion which defines the house type. For example, let’s say we have a square shaped house that sits in the west. The entire back wall faces west. However, along that back sitting wall, we will find a northwest sector on the back right hand side and a southwest sector encompassing the back left hand side.
The sitting sector is the back middle which reveals character traits of the house. If the sitting sector is west, then we call it a Dui House. The Eight Mansion school of Feng Shui would then deem this house as being more suitable for west type people than east type people. But there is much more to the Dui House when we factor in timing. In the Flying Star School of Feng Shui, there are actually 18 different West sitting Dui house types. In order to achieve that, we have to know what sector of West is the true sitting direction as well as the Period in which the house was built. This is the connection between time and space.
Usually, we place priority in the house with the areas that the occupants use the most, like the bedroom or home office. What if the sitting sector of the house is just a bathroom or closets? Is it not an important area? Regardless of how much anyone dwells in the sitting sector, it is an important area. This is the ANCHOR of the whole house. It is like the tailbone and spine of the human body. This is where the house gets its strength, even if it is not a heavily used area.
The flying star combination in this sitting sector will give some clues as to the personality of the house type and the impression it leaves on the occupants. Like the “center” stars, there is a hidden potential in the sitting sector. We also know that the sitting sector will influence the occupant in many other formulas. For example, we have a house type that can undermine a marriage or make it harder for the occupant to even get to the wedding altar. This is based just on the sitting sector, nothing else about the house. For a person born in the Year of the Ox, a house that sits in the Tiger sector (E/NE) can be what we call a “No Marriage House.” I wrote about this for all the zodiac signs in my second book, The Feng Shui Matrix.
Another example of how personalized the feng shui of a house can be: If a person born in the year of the Rat has a house that sits in the Horse sector (middle range of South), it can be a draining “Chong” direction for that particular occupant. This is an extrapolation of the same Chong-consuming relationship that all the zodiac signs have with the other zodiac sign which is their polar opposite.
There are other examples, where the exact sitting sector may in fact be especially lucky for an occupant. For a person born in a year ending in “2” (1952, 1962, 1972, 1982), if their house sits in the Pig Direction of N/NW, they can have an easier time making money. Everyone has both auspicious as well as undermining Sitting sector house types based on their own year of birth.
