Slope of the land is a very
important point. Slopes towards East and North are good buys.
The North-East should be the
lowest point on your piece of land. In addition, this corner should not be blocked by any
structure or tall trees.
If the North-East corner is
extended it is very good. On the other hand if the North-East corner is cut off it is not
good.

other forms of water storage is the North-East direction.

part. Hills or rocky terrain towards this corner will prove beneficial.
The North-West corner should be
airy.
If a road ends in your house from
the north or the east in the North-East corner it is considered very good.
