Step-by-Step: Apply the Bagua

  1. Print or open your floor plan.
  2. Mark the main entry door.
  3. Choose an alignment method (front-door or compass) and be consistent.
  4. Divide into the 3x3 grid; label sectors.
  5. Note missing/extended areas and plan cures.

Common Layout Challenges and Fixes

  • Missing Wealth corner (SE): add Wood element, living plants, and light.
  • Long narrow hallway: soften with rugs, art, and lighting to slow chi.
  • Stairs aligned with front door: use rugs, screens, or plants to buffer flow.
