I am not sure where or from what theory you are refering to.

It would seem to me that you are refering either to the ba gua or the 24 ba zi feng shui theory.

However, in either case, it would seem that only South is good for you. North cannot not be good for you as Water destroy fire. Since you are a weak fire, water is bad for you. (This is assuming that we only take your element as weak fire ignoring other details)
(Unless of course it is based on another theory etc)

The other good directions are like East (wood) which helps to produce fire.

It depends on the what you are using. Usually we follow the following guidelines.

1. Feng Shui of the house itself should be good especially in key areas such as Main Door sector and bedroom of the breadwinner

2. The Main Door should be such that either the ba zi element is good for you, or it is one of your 4 good directions based on your eight house. Or better still both are suitable.

(Point 1 & 2 should be done for the owner of the house.)

3. Next is to ensure that the bedrooms are located in sectors which are good for all person intending to stay in this house.

These are secondary issues after the 3 items are meet.

Usually based on the Eight House, it is often said that the kitchen should also be the location where sheng qi is found. However, sometimes due to limited number of good and bad sectors to balance, we usually identify the more important areas first such as the one listed above.

Also, sometimes for kitchen it may be difficult to shift if the house is built with a certain fixed location. But in most cases, for kitchen if you really one to take note, you can try to find a kitchen which is suitable to the person using the kitchen most of the time.

Since you already bought a house, you should then assess the house itself with say the Flying Star report to see which areas require cures or fixes. There is very little you can do now about the suitablilty of the main door to your Eight House direction or to your ba zi Feng Shui element.

However, if the house is such that your main door falls under your death or disaster and you are the breadwinner for the entire family. Then at least try to locate yourself in a bedroom which is suitable to you to offset some of the bad influence.

You see, for a house it can have the most excellent Feng Shui based on the Flying Star but if you are not suitable to it, then no matter how much you try, you cannot improve it tremendously.

We have seen many many people who have the main door in the death or disaster or the bedroom which they stay in the death or disaster sector facing many problems along the way. Such problems from the Eight House cannot be rectified as it is a matter of suitability.

Areas such as the house Feng Shui can be altered if it is bad by bring balance.

Without many details or analyses from the appropriate tools it is difficult to advice you on what to do. But if you generally follow the above few points it should help you.

Warmest Regards
