When measuring and setting polarity
The closer a facing is to the 187.5° or 202.5° boundary, the more easily a measuring error pushes it into Wu 午 or Wei 未. 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 187.5° – 202.5° sector, seen from the center of the house, belongs to Ding.

Questions about Ding
Is a house facing 195° a South-facing house?
Yes, but that is not precise enough. The South spans 45° (157.5° – 202.5°) and holds three mountains, Bing, Wu, Ding; a house facing 195° is in Ding. Naming the mountain tells apart houses only a few degrees from each other.
What does a house facing Ding sit on?
It sits Gui 癸, 7.5° – 22.5°. Sitting and facing are always exactly 180° apart.
