Dear Alex,
In general, toilet positions at true compass directions including a toilet directly at the North East are considered inauspicious.
For example, in building a new home, it would be ideal not to situate the toilet directly at true compass directions such as e.g. 0 degrees - North; 45 degrees - North East; 90 degrees - East and at SE, South, SW, West & NW.
One reason is because, the Compass School of Feng Shui places significance to such directions where, each Gua or Kua (Trigram) is located.
Where best, the toilet is situated away from these degrees.
A more accurate situation is not to locate them especially/particularly the toilet bowl, at 15 degrees increment to coincide with the 24 directions of the Flying Star.
Under the Flying Star, there are 24 directions and in 15 degree increments.
For those who have used the online Flying Star chart can see that for doing an analysis, one has to say select the main entrance door from a choice of 24 directions.
Toilet has water and because of this, has to be treated differently from e.g. the rest of the rooms. (A kitchen where there is fire and water is also looked at from other rulesets).
Water coupled by the toilet which usually has some ventilation and a door are both generally considered YIN elements. Thus, one can try to make it MORE yang to counter balance the YIN in this `room'.
Thus because of the above reasoning, it would be nice not to situate the toilet at NE. Since, NE is the devil's gate and of the Yin element.
PLease note that the above `observations' does not take into consideration other factors or readings done using other FS methods such as say using Flying Star.
If under Flying Star, and there are indeed helped by concentration of YANG stars and base numbers, this would greatly help in balancing the `too yin' environment that I had talked about.
Usually, it is best then to keep the toilet dry and clean and if possible `bright' as opposed to dark and close the door when not in use.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
