Dear Elena,

1. Majority of the time, the door is tilted especially if it faces the North-East or South-West.

North-East (devil's gate) and South-West (devil's backdoor).

One consideration here is that for some FS practitioners, N-E facing door (especially for business) should be changed.

The belief here is that `ghosts' travel a straight line and by tilting the door, the belief is then that `ghosts' have difficult going thru the door.

In Singapore, a famous case is that of the Hyatt Hotel, located in Orchard Road. Here, the all main entrance doors are tilted at an angle.

2. As mentioned above, the above is one of the main reasons for tilting the door. And other considerations, may be felt to be of less importance i.e. tilting to face one's good direction.

3. However, some FS practitioners do advice tilting the door to `kill two birds' with one stone' i.e. change the door direction which was felt to be inauspicious to the owner and let it face an auspicious direction for the owner.

4. For an Eight House (ONLY) practitioner, he may direct the owner to face the door exactly towards the direction ie. the tilt is e.g. at 90 degrees (East, as an example).
Or let the tilted door face exactly 180 degrees etc..

5. For a Flying Star practitioner, he may direct the owner to tilt the door based on 15 degree increments i.e. at one of the 24 directions. (For example, having found the good direction such similiar to the "Finding a Good house report " found in www.geomancy-online.com ). As an example.

6. Under Para 5, the door is tilted at e.g. 0 degree, 15 degree , 30 degree, 45 degree etc.... The door really faces that particular degree (If one stands at the door and takes a compass reading tangent to the door).

7. Usually a good date is chosen to remove/change the door.

8. It is not so much of the construction crew but as mentioned under Para 7, choose a good date to allow the construction personel to start work.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
