When measuring and setting polarity
The closer a facing is to the 217.5° or 232.5° boundary, the more easily a measuring error pushes it into Wei 未 or Shen 申. 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 217.5° – 232.5° sector, seen from the center of the house, belongs to Kun.

Questions about Kun
Is a house facing 225° a Southwest-facing house?
Yes, but that is not precise enough. The Southwest spans 45° (202.5° – 247.5°) and holds three mountains, Wei, Kun, Shen; a house facing 225° is in Kun. Naming the mountain tells apart houses only a few degrees from each other.
What does a house facing Kun sit on?
It sits Gen 艮, 37.5° – 52.5°. Sitting and facing are always exactly 180° apart.
