Animal zodiac signs are associated with directions. And when you identify your zodiac sign, you would be able to discover what is the direction that is opposite that particular zodiac.

For example, the Rat zodiac sign is linked to the north direction. North-2 to be specific. Therefore the unlucky direction opposite is South-2 (horse zodiac). Refer to the 24 mountains for specifics.

Putting this information into use, look for what is present at the south-2 area of the house. If this area is a place where the homeowner would spend a lot of time in like the master bedroom or home office, then it would be an unsuitable house for the individual.

It is worth mentioning that the identified afflicted area is a very specific section of the property. So do use specific degrees on a compass to identify this sector.

North in general does not necessarily mean North-2.

The grand duke conflict area should be best left alone and quiet. This also means that in a lot of cases, if the main door is at the area, trouble would be entering the household on a daily basis.

Even if this main door is deemed to be an auspicious main door according to flying stars feng shui, the afflicted person would not be able to reap the full benefits of the positive energy.
