# The You 酉 mountain

> A house facing 270° is in the You 酉 mountain. You covers every bearing from 262.5° up to 277.5°, within the Dui 兑 trigram in the West, element Metal. A house facing You sits Mao 卯 (82.5° – 97.5°) — described as sitting Mao, facing You. To be sure, measure the facing as an exact degree.

## When measuring and setting polarity

The closer a facing is to the 262.5° or 277.5° boundary, the more easily a measuring error pushes it into Geng 庚 or Xin 辛. When a reading falls within 1° of either boundary, measure again at several points before setting polarity.

Once polarity is set, every room, door or item lying within the 262.5° – 277.5° sector, seen from the center of the house, belongs to You.

## Questions about You

### Is a house facing 270° a West-facing house?

Yes, but that is not precise enough. The West spans 45° (247.5° – 292.5°) and holds three mountains, Geng, You, Xin; a house facing 270° is in You. Naming the mountain tells apart houses only a few degrees from each other.

### What does a house facing You sit on?

It sits Mao 卯, 82.5° – 97.5°. Sitting and facing are always exactly 180° apart.

### Whose birth-year mountain is You?

It belongs to people born in a You (Rooster) year, counted from the Start of Spring rather than Lunar New Year. When the main door or an active, heavy item falls exactly in You, say precisely whose You birth-year mountain it touches.
