house facing south-west direction

[Derek]

Dear cecil, I am a new comer and would like to ask whether it is true that house facing south-west direction e.g 220 & 268 compass direction is the best orientation as said by a famous fengshui master.

Hi,
Feng Shui should be personalized to an individual to be effective.
The most common question asked is: Can something so general be applied to
everyone of us?
The answer is No.
Similiarly, even a " famous Feng Shui Master " should not say that it can
apply to anyone.
In the Internet or around you, do question any Feng Shui Practioner. Ask
them what is the reason for saying so. Each person who says something should
backup their words with a reasonal explanation or if it based only on their
opinion, I guess, each of us have the right to judge for ourselves.
Another way of looking at this situation is, what was mentioned by this "
famous Feng Shui Master " does not go down well with the Eight House Theory
or the Flying Star Theory. (Both originate from the same Compass School).
For example, even in the Eight House Theory, there are Eight personalized
directions. So each of us belong to one. In the Flying Star Chart for the
house, each 15 degrees of the compass point, provides a different Flying
Star calculations.
I leave you to judge for yourself, if what was said can be applied to
everyone of us.
Another viewpoint is that South-West happens to be the Devil's backdoor!
Please read this short article I wrote earlier

direction.
Warmest Regards
Cecil
