# Death point (死点)

> The death point is the sector where, given the house's orientation, energy is considered most depleted. In a home, things that need living energy — above all the bed head — should avoid it.

## Explanation

The death point is a term in Home Check's sector reading, alongside prosperous and weak sectors. It can only be found once the house's orientation is known as a degree.

Knowing the death point does not mean leaving that part of the home empty: it is enough to keep key positions, such as the bed head, from pointing into it.

## How Home Check uses it

The eight-sector ring on the Measure screen marks the home's death point; when you try a bed on the plan, Home Check flags it at once if the bed head falls there. — [Compass & site reading](https://myhomecheck.ai/compass)

## Questions

### Is the death point the worst sector for everything?

It mainly matters for positions that need living energy, such as the bed head. Secondary rooms in that sector are not automatically a fault.

### Does the death point change each year?

The death point that follows the house's orientation is fixed for that house. Yearly factors, such as the Five Yellow, are read separately.
