When measuring and setting polarity
The closer a facing is to the 67.5° or 82.5° boundary, the more easily a measuring error pushes it into Yin 寅 or Mao 卯. 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 67.5° – 82.5° sector, seen from the center of the house, belongs to Jia.

Questions about Jia
Is a house facing 75° a East-facing house?
Yes, but that is not precise enough. The East spans 45° (67.5° – 112.5°) and holds three mountains, Jia, Mao, Yi; a house facing 75° is in Jia. Naming the mountain tells apart houses only a few degrees from each other.
What does a house facing Jia sit on?
It sits Geng 庚, 247.5° – 262.5°. Sitting and facing are always exactly 180° apart.
