It is extremely crucial to be certain that a property is marked West Facing House Vastu accurately. Many people often assume that if the house faces towards the setting sun, then they have an west facing home.

However, vastu experts suggest against it. The setting sun is not pointing towards the actual west, as it goes around the sun throughout the year. In fact you get the actual west direction only 2 days a year.  Thus, you need to use a magnetic compass for the most accurate answer.

A magnetic compass always points towards exact north without any error. Thus, it can be used to determine the other 3 directions without any error as well.

So, mark the direction towards which you face, while going out of the house through the main door. If it happens to be the west direction for you, then you have a West Facing House Vastu.
