Is sitting on Sửu and facing Mùi good?
Sitting on Sửu and facing Mùi cannot be judged as absolutely good or bad. The assessment needs to be based on many factors: whether the dragon vein behind is solid and generates the Earth element, whether the water feature in front gathers qi and belongs to the Kim or Earth element, together with the flying stars in each period. In the current lower yuan period 9, the Fire star generates Earth, so the Sửu mountain has a certain advantage, but a comprehensive examination is still needed.
