How to Determine House Facing Direction?

I purchased a home two years back. It was my dream to purchase a house ever since I was a teenager. Therefore, when I purchased a house I made sure I would create a perfect home for me and my family. I have searched more than 50 houses in NoBroker. I was specific about the house I am purchasing. I wanted a house close to my office and with all the amenities. I also wanted my house to be Vastu compliant. I believe in Vastu and I think living in a house that is in compliance with Vastu can change your luck with time. I hired a Vastu expert to check the position of my house and he showed me the correct way about how to determine house facing direction.

How to determine facing direction of apartment?

• You can take a compass and go to the entrance and then check your house facing direction.

• Nowadays, mobile phones have a compass, therefore you can check the direction using your phone too.

• Take a few readings and there is a chance you can get different results.

• My Vastu expert recommended me to check the location of the sun. He also asked me to locate Venus and the moon in the sky. You will see Venus in the evening located in the western direction. Once you understand the location of the sun, moon, or Venus you can easily understand the other directions.

• Since I have purchased a house from NoBroker, I searched for a Vastu-compliant house. The website is accurate in stating the direction of the house. Still rechecked with the Vastu expert I hired. I have purchased an apartment facing the southeast direction which is considered good in Vastu.

Hey Friend,

After going through the above-mentioned answers by Mr. Farhan, and Mr. Dinesh regarding how to check facing of house. Accordingly, I experimented the steps mentioned by them to check the house direction.

I would like to share my experience regarding how to check house facing direction with you guys. I would like to say that you will need to face the outside as you stand at your front door. Check the direction you are facing using a compass. Your home looks in that general direction. Find the direction right in front of you by aligning the compass's 0°/360° mark with its north pole.

You have a north-facing residence if you face north when you leave your house. This also applies to the other directions. To find the right direction, take at least three readings from various locations within your home.

I would completely agree with the above-mentioned answers, and I think the usage of a compass is the answer to your query,

how to determine house facing direction from inside or outside.

You can easily determine house direction from inside as well as from outside with the help of a compass. In Vastu Shastra, directions are very important. Each direction has a deity and an element linked with it, and when it is correctly placed, it can have a beneficial effect while being misaligned can have negative effects. Vastu directions symbolise energy rather than being just points on a compass. According to Vastu, the house's orientation is important since the main entry is what draws energy—positive or negative—and disperses it throughout the house.

I would like to conclude here about

how to check facing of house. I hope this helps:)

Hi Buddy,

People used to use the sun's shadow to identify directions back in the day. We can use the magnetic instrument known as a compass in today's sophisticated and technologically evolved world to know how to check direction of house in an extremely precise manner.

Essentially, a compass is a gadget with a magnetic needle that assists us in determining the direction of the Earth's magnetic poles.

This magnetic needle is balanced on a pivot point that is practically frictionless. The one end of the compass needle is generally coloured red or green or marked with the letter 'N' to show that it points north.

The magnetic compass needle aligns itself with the earth's magnetic field on one end, indicating that it will always point to the magnetic North of the earth, which is distinct from the geographic North.

Each of the directions is located to a certain degree on the compass in the illustration below. For example, North is at 0° or 360° degrees, East is at 90° degrees, and 180° on the compass indicates the direction of South.

If you don't have a normal magnetic compass, you can use the compass app on your smartphone to determine

how to know directions in the house

.

When it comes to choosing a compass, a magnetic compass with a degree number ranging from 360°/0° to 359° is always a good option. 

• Assume that the front of your house (i.e., the main gate) faces a park. You'll need to stand parallel to a wall with your face facing the park to get a compass reading.

• Keep your elbow at 90 degrees (horizontally) at chest level while holding the compass in your palm.

• Rotate the housing dial with your hand as steady as possible until the compass needle (typically a red or green coloured tip) lines up with the orienting arrow.

• Determine which line is immediately in front of you once the 0°/360° mark on the compass housing and the North end of the needle are aligned. To put it another way, the compass line directly in front of you indicates the actual degree or face of your home. Let's say the compass reading is 45 degrees (North-East). Then your house's aspect will be North-East (NE).

• To identify the correct direction, take at least three readings from different locations of your house or land. The three readings may occasionally disagree. In that instance, put all three readings together and divide by three, for example, 130+128+132=390 divided by three equals 130 degrees. It will be the home's exterior.

• Your house will now have an accurate facing.

• You must also determine the exact North point of your home in order to create a Vastu-compliant floor layout. Let's say you're facing a specific wall on your property and the compass reading is 45°. Measure 45° anti-clockwise from that point on the map, facing the same wall, and that's the North direction of your house.

I would like to conclude my answer here about how to check direction of house. I hope this helps:)
