Southern Logical School of Feng Shui changes the bagua around to face the Sun. The Tibetan Black Hat Sect method aligns the Bagua with the front door. Classical Feng Shui incorporates both the Form School and the I-ching. The Bagua with life orientations can and should be altered to suit your house and position of the Sun. Think of the Bagua as a wheel within a wheel. In the Southern Hemisphere a pool is usually placed towards the North-East to receive the best Sun during the day.
Which ever method you choose to follow inside your house is up to you. However it does not change the Flying Stars and how they will effect each directions as this is based on the Stars which is universal. Both logic and astronomy (science) should be incorporated.
Actually, there are several factors (energies) to consider:
1. Earth - form school and stable layout of the stars.
2. Sun Movement.
3. Yourself - what makes you feel comfortable and happy. How you sit, sleep and face.
4. House - which way it faces and placement of rooms, gates and entrance.
5. Purusha Mandala - an invisible man that lies in each house and governs body parts.
6. Astronomy - the movement of the Stars.
