Hi, I'm very new to Feng Shui and was delighted to find this site to help answer some questions. Since I became interested in Feng Shui, I've purchased and read, a number of books by varying authors. The more I read the more fascinated I've become, but in some cases, the more confused. I would be great full if you could clarify some very basic questions.
1. In some of the books I have, they give an English pronunciation for Feng Shui - (Fung Shway), (Fung Shoy), (Foong Shway). Which if any is correct?
2. As I live in New Zealand, I have wondered if a book suggests that the south is a favourabe direction, should I translate that to being the north, as this is were the sun is down here, or is north, north and south, south no matter where you live, according to Feng Shui?
That's all for starters.
Thanks very much
Shelley
