Hello, I am just a recent member of this forum and I'm not sure whether it is ok for me to offer advice or not, but as I'm a Rooster and I bought Lillian's and Jennifer's Fortune and Feng Shui book for the Rooster in 2012 (an excellent investment), I can help you.
If your birth date is 1969 and your direction is East you are obviously a MALE Rooster, so your BEST directions for this year 2012 are indeed EAST (romance and scholastic luck) and SOUTH (lucky and brings winning energy). While usually North and South East are also good luck for you, please note that this year they are not, as the Illness Star #2 flies in the North and Yellow Star #5 which flies to the South East is very unlucky.
While your house may be situated in the East, the far more important aspect is which way your front door faces. This is absolutely critical. Also critical is that you must ensure that the top of your head when sleeping is facing your best directions for this year, ie East and South.
I hope this helps. Unfortunately I don't have the experience to be able to commence on the best directions for moving.
I would highly recommend buying the Feng Shui book above as there are many other situations you should also be aware of including activating your good luck through enhancements; it is excellent and has provided peace of mind to me
Regards
