In Feng Shui, both the location and the direction of the fireplace are important. Location: The fireplace should ideally be located in a favorable area based on the bagua, or energy map of your home. The bagua is a grid divided into nine areas, each relating to different life circumstances. Fireplaces are associated with the Fire element and are ideal in the South (which connects to fame and reputation), Southwest (love and marriage), and Northeast (spiritual growth and self-cultivation) areas of your home. Direction: The direction the fireplace faces also matters. Traditionally, the front of the fireplace (which is considered the 'mouth' of the fire) should face a direction that is auspicious for the head of the household, or the person most often using the room. However, it's important to note that the principles of Feng Shui are flexible and complex, so it's often beneficial to consult with a Feng Shui practitioner for specific advice tailored to your home and personal situation.

I don't get the compass feng shui, I mean you can't avoid whole rooms or move fireplaces ... western feng shui makes much more sense.
