How to evaluate the different areas of life in your home. Feng shui consultants use bagua (it can be seen written also pa kua), it's an octagonal shaped diagram divided into eight equal parts. Each part represents a direction and one area of life. You can place the bagua over a plan of your house, a room even over a visit card. There is no limitations where to use it, use your imagination.
It's easier to use bagua when you will arrange your home in accordance with real compass directions (south, east, west etc).
You can also use Lo Shu; a square divided into nine equal parts. We could call this "an intuitive bagua". It's also known as a magical square with even numbers in the corners and odd numbers in the middle of each side. Whatever way you calculate the sum of the numbers in each horisontal, vertical or diagonal line, the result will always be fifteen. Using this method your outdoor will always be places either in 8, 1 or 6 when in the first mentioned system your outdoor can be in 1,2,3,4,6,7,8 or 9. In other words, in which ever compass direction.
If you are not familiar with these systems, I recommed you use the latter method, simply because it's easier to use and it works as well as the former. Try to solve in which (number) room your outdoor is located.
In my next posting I'll tell you about the room number one, which represent career and new beginnings.
