Dear Jen,

AS IT IS

1. It does not matter if the centre of NE is 45 degrees or N = 0 degrees or East = 90 degrees.

2. What is more important is which is the actual compass degree at your main door.

For example, if the main door is at NE; most of the time is it not possible to be exactly at 45 degrees.

Then, what is the degree?

The degree should be the actual degree at the mid-point of the main door.

For example, if a reading may be taken, it could be at say exactly 37 degrees.

It is best to invest in a protractor. For example, there are many brands e.g. Saintograph 360 degree protractor.

The easiest is to JUST find the North to South marking (degree). And an additional confirmation of the East-West marking (degree).

No one is expected to use an ordinary compass to find the difference in one degree or 0.5 degree. As it is impossible, unless one buys an expensive Surveyor's compass.

After one has superimposed the North to South and East to West compass direction of the home, simply use a protractor as mentioned above to locate the EXACT compass direction.

Anyway, even if one is applying Flying Star 24 direction's analysis, the deviation allowed is 15 degrees tolerance per direction. And not 1 degree or 0.5 degrees tolerance.

The other option is, you know of any friends who are engineers or even children, children's friends that are studying engineering or even engaging a surveyor who can at the last resort help out to determine the compass direction of the house.

However, I seriously think that it is not as complicated as it sounds.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
