Four Celestial Animals: Back, Front, Left, Right
Green Dragon left higher, White Tiger right lower, open front, solid back
Facing the balcony from inside: back is Tortoise, front is Bird, left is Dragon, right is Tiger. Beds, sofas, and desks want backing.
Key takeaways
- Back (Black Tortoise): support—wall, building, hill; avoid void or rushing road.
- Front (Red Bird): open ming tang; avoid huge building in your face.
- Left (Green Dragon): slightly higher/active; Right (White Tiger): slightly lower/quiet.
