When measuring and setting polarity
The closer a facing is to the 232.5° or 247.5° boundary, the more easily a measuring error pushes it into Kun 坤 or Geng 庚. 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 232.5° – 247.5° sector, seen from the center of the house, belongs to Shen.

Questions about Shen
Is a house facing 240° 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 240° is in Shen. Naming the mountain tells apart houses only a few degrees from each other.
What does a house facing Shen sit on?
It sits Yin 寅, 52.5° – 67.5°. Sitting and facing are always exactly 180° apart.
Whose birth-year mountain is Shen?
It belongs to people born in a Shen (Monkey) year, counted from the Start of Spring rather than Lunar New Year. When the main door or an active, heavy item falls exactly in Shen, say precisely whose Shen birth-year mountain it touches.
