# Prosperous and weak sectors (旺方 · 衰方)

> Prosperous sectors are the parts of a home considered to have strong, favourable energy for its orientation; weak sectors have faint energy. Knowing which is which guides where bedrooms, bed heads, desks and kitchens go.

- Vietnamese: Phương vượng – phương suy
- English: Prosperous and weak sectors
- Chinese: 旺方与衰方
- Chinese characters: 旺方 · 衰方
- Also called: Phương vượng – phương suy · Auspicious and inauspicious sectors

## Explanation

Each school calculates them its own way. The Eight Mansions school, for example, divides the eight directions into four favourable sectors (Sheng Qi, Tian Yi, Yan Nian, Fu Wei) and four unfavourable ones (Jue Ming, Wu Gui, Liu Sha, Huo Hai) according to the house's trigram.

Prosperous and weak always depend on the measured orientation, so they mean something only after polarity is set correctly.

## How Home Check uses it

On the Measure screen, Home Check shows an eight-sector ring with the home's prosperous sectors, weak sectors, door and death point for the degree you just measured. — [Compass & site reading](https://myhomecheck.ai/compass)

- [Death point](https://myhomecheck.ai/learn/glossary/death-point): The death point is the sector where, given the house's orientation, energy is considered most depleted.
- [Bed head](https://myhomecheck.ai/learn/glossary/bed-head): The bed head is where the pillow lies and the sleeper's head rests.
- [Sitting and facing](https://myhomecheck.ai/learn/glossary/sitting-and-facing): Sitting is the side a house leans its back against; facing is the side it looks out from.

## Questions

### Are the prosperous sectors the same in every home?

No. They change with the house's orientation; two neighbouring homes facing differently have different prosperous sectors.

### What if a room sits in a weak sector?

Use it for spaces people do not stay in long, such as storage or a WC, or arrange the main furniture toward the better part of the room.
