Topic: Is a toliet at the North bad?

I have recently moved into a rented house which has its bathroom in the North. Worse still is that none of the windows open and there is a tiny vent in one window and no extractor fan. Since we moved here, I have been plagued with all kinds of head/facial illnesses, mouth ulcers, sinusitis, headaches, sore throat etc etc. I have moved most of the plants in here in order to soak up some of the dampness, I have placed a bowl of sea salt on the floor but nothing is helping.

A Feng Shui master would normally advise a person (where possible) not to have the toilet facing North or West. This was because in traditional Feng Shui practice, the North faces the cold and if the toilet faces the North, one may get digestive problems. If facing west, one may get `agitated'.

Unfortunately, it may not be possible for you to shift it. perhaps you could in your diet take more `cooling' food. Not cold food but food that relieves heatiness.

Question: My Eight House Chart states that my prosperity is in the NW sector. So sad, this is the place housing our third toilet and bathroom. It also has the laundry in this area and all rooms are well used. Any suggestions? Would small riverstones near the toilet bowl help?

In such a situation, nothing much can be done . Normally, the advice here is to cover the toilet bowl with the toilet seat cover and close the door. You can certainly try putting riverstones if you want.
