The pairing of an Southwest-octant main door (Kun, 坤) with a West-octant master bedroom (Dui, 兌) is one of the 64 cells in the classical 阳宅三要 (Yang Zhai San Yao — “Three Essentials of the Yang Dwelling”) door × master matrix. Under 八宅 (Eight Mansions) doctrine, this specific pairing falls into the 天醫宅 outcome class.
Classical reading
坤門兌主:天醫宅:百病可解,福祿並至,子嗣安寧,闔家安康。
Classical 阳宅三要 reading for 坤門兌主, in the 天醫宅 (Tian Yi) outcome class. Households commonly report strong constitutional health, fast recovery from illness, low rates of chronic disease, and the kind of restorative quality that supports longevity. Reliably auspicious for households with elderly occupants or anyone managing existing health conditions.

Why generic guidance for 坤門兌主 fails
The 阳宅三要 outcome class is one of three layers that determine how a configuration actually plays out for a specific household. The other two layers — the building’s 玄空 (Xuan Kong) period and mountain/water chart, and each occupant’s personal BaZi and Zi Wei Dou Shu charts — modify the classical reading substantially. The same 坤門兌主 configuration can read as “auspicious” under one period chart and shift register under another. It can support one occupant’s chart and clash with a co-occupant’s. Generic per-pairing guidance can name the classical register and the most-watched caveats, but it cannot tell you which apply to your household.
The classical doctrine itself is explicit about this: 阳宅三要 sets the foundational pairing, but the household’s actual experience requires the additional layers to read. Master Sean Chan’s blog post on the chart-house interconnection covers this multi-layer reading.
