Dear Yew-Meng,

In Feng Shui, for the purpose of taking readings under the Flying Star Feng Shui; it is best to still take the compass readings from the main door.

Usually, under Flying Star Feng Shui, the two most common method of accessing a home is:-

1. As mentioned earlier, to take the compass direction of the main door from the centre-point.

2. Another method, using the luopan is to face the luopan (from inside the main door) facing outwards). Since the main door is often facing the frontage of the house.

3. In both cases, the concern is more of the main door or the frontage.

4. It is secondary, if you are using the back door as the main door here. As most of the analysis is or will be based more of the `frontage' area.

5. Since the readings are taken from the front / or main door direction, each sector can be looked at for any imbalance to correct it. Or if a mountain star is found at this backdoor area, it can be activated for luck.

6. As you can see, from the Compass School point of view, the back door will not be used as the main door.

7. It is highly detrimental if the backdoor is facing a hill. (WHERE, it now changes to become a FRONT or MAIN door). This is highly inauspicious.

7.1 For certain houses, that do it, may invite calamity i.e. changing such a door from being a back door to a main door.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
