When measuring and setting polarity
The closer a facing is to the 352.5° or 7.5° boundary, the more easily a measuring error pushes it into Ren 壬 or Gui 癸. 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 352.5° – 7.5° sector, seen from the center of the house, belongs to Zi.

Questions about Zi
Is a house facing 0° a North-facing house?
Yes, but that is not precise enough. The North spans 45° (337.5° – 22.5°) and holds three mountains, Zi, Gui, Ren; a house facing 0° is in Zi. Naming the mountain tells apart houses only a few degrees from each other.
What does a house facing Zi sit on?
It sits Wu 午, 172.5° – 187.5°. Sitting and facing are always exactly 180° apart.
Whose birth-year mountain is Zi?
It belongs to people born in a Zi (Rat) year, counted from the Start of Spring rather than Lunar New Year. When the main door or an active, heavy item falls exactly in Zi, say precisely whose Zi birth-year mountain it touches.
