Aloha nicole,
Center is alway the middle of your grid, but you choose if the top of the grid will correspond with the back or front of your house.
So you've stood in the middle of your house ("C" on the diagram), with your compass and found where north is.

In my house, the one you saw (after we had just moved in) in bits and pieces of in the Essentials DVD, i aligned the supplied grid so the bottom represented the front of the house, and the front door("D" on the diagram) would then be in the bottom center sector.

Holding the grid while I was standing in the center of my house the compas pointed to north in a direction that lands in the top-right sector.

This puts outh at the bottom-left, and the rest fills in from there
[ W ][NW][ N ]
[SW][ C ][NE]
[ S ][ D ][ E ]
So my front door land in the southeast of the home, but faces east.
I could have designated the top of the grid being the front of the house, and everything would just shift, it's all the same, just a different orientation...
[ E ][ D ][ S ]
[NE][ C ][SW]

I'm not sure if this adds or takes away from your understanding, but it's been a while since I've made text art, and it's a Friday
Much Love, Shawn
