Question

I was advised that you need to use a compass to determine where to position the bagua. Following that suggestion, if my door is facing east, the Wisdom, Career and Travel parts of the bagua will be aligned differently from the way you suggest. Which of these is accurate?

You must ROTATE the map, and not keep it stationary as it appears on the page. Draw your floor plan and mark the front door's position on the plan. Then take your compass to the door, and, while facing the door take the compass reading to get the direction you are facing. At that point, take the bagua map above, and rotate it so that the three squares for Growth, Career and Travel are lined up against the wall where your door is located.

Question

I have two doors, one to go out to the front, and a sliding door that goes out to the back. I use both doors, which door would I stand at to get my wealth corner right? Is it possible to have two wealth corners?

Community Answer

Actually, there is no type of such phenomenon. We should never believe in superstitious things. You can use any door.

Question

Do I need to use a luopan or analyze the 24 mountains and the 240 cent lines?

Ye Gao

Community Answer

You don't need a luopan or to analyze the 24 mountains and 240 cent lines for hanging a pot rack. A luopan is used for complex feng shui readings, and those tools are typically for aligning structures or furniture, not practical installations like pot racks. Focus on structural stability, such as finding studs, using appropriate anchors, and leveling the rack. These detailed feng shui tools are unnecessary unless you're specifically concerned about the pot rack's feng shui placement.

Question

Where should I place my bagua mirror if my door faces southwest? Can I put it at the front of my door?

Ye Gao

Community Answer

If your door faces southwest, a bagua mirror can deflect negative energy according to feng shui principles. However, placing it directly at the front of your door is not recommended. Instead, consider placing it above the door, and ensure it's positioned respectfully to avoid reflecting energy towards unintended areas.

Question

Should I rotate the bagua map for each floor of my house if the entrance to my second floor is different from my front door?

Ye Gao

Community Answer

In feng shui, the bagua map is typically aligned with the main entrance on the ground floor. You should keep the orientation consistent with the front door and adjust based on the layout and energy needs of each floor.
