Yes, in Feng Shui, it is considered inauspcious to have the entrance open into stair cases.

Here, the rationale is because, beneficial Qi that is suppose to come into the house, will be affected by e.g. the vortex of unsmooth flow e.g. such as the steps of the stairs.

In your second question, it is more of "commonsense approach". Not so much of Feng Shui.

For example, one worry is that when one walks out of the bedroom, although it may be highly unlikely, e.g. guests may not be aware and walk further and `fall' down.

This may seem highly unlikely, but it may happen not in every home but it may just happen.

Usually, a bedroom door does not matter or is secondary to the greater picture.

What is more important is where the bedroom door is situated. For example, it is best not to situate the bedroom door at the middle of the room. It is always better to situate it on one side of the wall.

So long as the main entrance has e.g. the house number on it, this should be considered as the main door.

For purposes of compass school Feng Shui, compass readings e.g. under Flying Star Feng Shui for a home is taken based on the direction of the main door. Alternative assessment can be done on the garage door to see which is better.

If the garage door is better, than, we can relook at it to see if this can become the `main door'.

There are various schools of Feng Shui and some FS practitioners would take into consideration, the frontage of the house i.e. the locations where most light comes in. And in such a situation, this facing is known as the `facing direction' and the `sitting direction' is behind it.

Usually, this is still analysed base on the traditional approach of finding the main door direction. And then any enhancements or `cures' done, based on the birth chart of the house.

I like to emphaise that a good grounding of Feng Shui and divinity methods are the best defense against uncertainty.

Three easy steps are:

1. What is the aim/purpose of the concept
2. What is the strengths and weakness of each concept.

Here, what you mentioned relates to two separate theories:-

a. Four good sectors or East/West group is based on the Eight House concept.

b. While "west, northwest, southwest and northeast "sectors" as good sectors belong to the Flying Star Feng Shui.

Therefore, it should not be taken as `strange' that the two does not tally.

Para a. is personalised to self. While para b (Flying Star) is about the birth chart of the house).

Looking at good sectors for self, therefore, does not automatically mean that the birth chart of the house must match your 4 good sectors.

As mentioned above, go for the three easy steps to find out the difference between Eight House East/West group vs Flying Star Feng Shui. And one will know that it is like comparing an apple with an orange.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
