the traditional, octagonal map and the modern, square map. Though their appearances differ, the information within both maps is the same.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>A Bagua map has: 8 different guas (which each have their own name and attributes), 8 groups of lines known as trigrams (comprised of the female yin and male yang energies), and the tai ji (yin yang) symbol at the center.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Guas also have &#8220;flying star numbers&#8221; (a.k.a. &#8220;magic numbers&#8221;), their own compass direction, and association with: an element, body part(s), person(s), color(s), and aspect of nature.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>All 9 sections of the Bagua map require EQUAL attention.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The 5 steps for applying the Bagua map in Feng Shui design are: (1) obtaining a copy of the floor plan, drawn to scale (or drawing it yourself if otherwise unavailable); (2) drawing the Bagua map over top of the floor plan; (3) placing the map on top of the floor plan; (4) identify where all of the guas are; (5) and locating where energy flow is stagnant so it can be corrected with a cure.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Each floor of the home requires a different Bagua map layer.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>When layering the Bagua map, always do the main floor first.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Layered readings &#8211; where the Bagua map is first applied to the whole floor, and then separately in each individual room &#8211; makes for a more comprehensive and cleaner energy reading, as well as better boost specific guas in the home.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Only use a Feng Shui cure AFTER evaluating all aspects of your client&#8217;s lifestyle and goals.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>You can properly identify your Bagua direction by facing your home head-on and locating the front door, which is considered to be the &#8220;facing direction&#8221; of your home.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>QC Design School&#8217;s self-paced, online Feng Shui Design Course has an entire section devoted to the Bagua map, which will teach you everything you need to know to use it in your day-to-day and\/or professional life.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>By training with QC&#8217;s self-paced, online courses, you can earn your globally-recognized certification and start a successful home design career in as little as 3 months.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n <\/div>[divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;10&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;29975&#8243; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;entrance&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; animation_movement_type=&#8221;transform_y&#8221; hover_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; image_loading=&#8221;default&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_mobile=&#8221;default&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Introduction\"><\/span>Introduction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;10&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]The Bagua map is an essential tool for Feng Shui design.

From there, you then use cures to correct any energy imbalances present in the space(s).\r\n\r\nEach section of the map has their own unique characteristics.

Although they may look different, they provide the same critical information!\r\n\r\nLet&#8217;s jump into what the traditional Bagua map looks like:[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<div class=\"nectar-fancy-ul\" data-list-icon=\"icon-salient-thin-line\" data-animation=\"false\" data-animation-delay=\"0\" data-color=\"accent-color\" data-spacing=\"default\" data-alignment=\"left\"> \r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>The 8 different &#8220;slices&#8221; of the pie (gua) each have a name and represent a different attribute (or &#8220;life situation&#8221;).<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Immediately around the tai ji (yin yang) symbol, there are 8 groups of lines known as trigrams. Each trigram is a different combination of solid and broken lines. The solid lines represent yang (male) Ch&#8217;i and the broken lines represent yin (female) Ch&#8217;i.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The guas also have &#8220;flying star numbers&#8221; (or &#8220;magic numbers&#8221;) associated with them. They determine whether the Ch&#8217;i should be more yin or yang, in order to produce a favorable atmosphere in a particular space.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Each gua has a compass direction. The south is at the top and the north is at the bottom. In traditional Chinese culture, the south represents the heavens while north represents earthly living.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Each gua is also associated with an element, body part(s), person(s), color(s), and an aspect of nature.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The tai ji symbol lies in the center. It represents balance and harmony of all the guas. It also represents personal health and well-being, and reminds you to consider the clients&#8217; needs at the center of the space.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n <\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]As seen in the second Bagua map, the traditional octagonal map has simply been adapted into a square.

Also, if you apply Feng Shui in more than one room in a given property, you&#8217;ll increase optimized energy flow. After the Bagua map readings are all complete, you can then make adjustments on each floor individually (same as you would the main).\r\n\r\nLayered readings also help individually boost a specific gua in each area of the house. For example, if your clients want to boost their health, you can apply the Bagua map to the whole floor &#8211; and then again in each room.\r\n\r\nThe Health gua connects to the eastern direction. Furthermore, it has the color green and the element of wood as its attributes. So, you can suggest adding some live plants to that side of the room to activate the wood energy. This is an effective way to boost the gua throughout the home![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221;

You can use Feng Shui to improve the energy flow of the spaces and the way people interact and use them.\r\n\r\nHere are a few examples:[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;10&#8243;]<div class=\"nectar-fancy-ul\" data-list-icon=\"fa fa-angle-right\" data-animation=\"false\" data-animation-delay=\"0\" data-color=\"accent-color\" data-spacing=\"default\" data-alignment=\"left\"> \r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Cluttered center space<\/span>: This space is linked to the tai ji. So, keep it clear of clutter! Since it represents Personal Health, keeping it uncluttered will allow for the free flow of Ch&#8217;i energy. Also, warm yellow colors are particularly useful here. After all, this color represents the sun and its life-sustaining force! In terms of cures, it can be hard to place cures in the center of the room, as they may need to rest on big furniture. Heavy, imposing furniture can block Ch&#8217;i &#8211; and this is why adding yellow (perhaps via the carpet) is a great option!<\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">A bathroom with an unusual element<\/span>: If the bathroom rests within the fame and reputation gua, you may notice that the associated element is fire. For obvious reasons, bathrooms are usually associated with the water element&#8230; Meaning, this could cause an energy clash if not handled properly. If the space is in need of energy enhancement, this is an easy fix: simply add some red candles (to tackle two birds with one stone)! If it doesn&#8217;t suit the design style, you could nix the fire element and add red hand towels and carpets instead. You may even wish to add wicker baskets and plants in order to neutralize the strong water element.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n <\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]\r\n<h3>Feng Shui Cures<\/h3>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;10&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]Keep in mind that Feng Shui is complex. As such, you should suggest cures ONLY after evaluating all aspects of your clients&#8217; lifestyle. The practice isn&#8217;t only about furniture placement or adding lucky charms!

The direction that the front door faces is considered the facing direction of your home. You can also use a compass to determine the exact direction.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;default&#8221; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;What if my floor plan is not a perfect square or rectangle?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]A: No worries! Simply adjust the shape of your Bagua map according to the shape of your floor plan. As long as you align it with the front door, you&#8217;ll still be able to identify each gua and make adjustments accordingly.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;default&#8221; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;How often should I update my Bagua map?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]A: You can update your Bagua map as frequently as you like! It\u2019s a good idea to do so whenever there are changes in your living space, such as a renovation or furniture rearrangement. Additionally, it\u2019s always a good idea to refresh the energy in your home every year by doing a thorough cleaning and decluttering session.\r\n\r\nRemember: Feng Shui is all about creating balance and harmony within your living space. So, don\u2019t be afraid to make adjustments when needed![\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;default&#8221; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;How do you activate Bagua?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]A: Activating the Bagua involves enhancing each area of your home with elements that correspond to its energy.\r\n\r\nStart by identifying the guas (areas) on your Bagua map and their associated elements, colors, and symbols. For instance, adding plants or wooden objects can activate the Family and Health gua, as it is associated with the Wood element. Similarly, placing objects in pairs (such as candles or artwork) can enhance the Love and Relationships gua.\r\n\r\nBe intentional with your choices and focus on the intention or goal you have for each area. After all, Feng Shui is about creating positive energy &#8211; so, choose items that resonate with you and support the energy you wish to cultivate![\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=&#8221;Default&#8221; heading_tag=&#8221;default&#8221; heading_tag_functionality=&#8221;default&#8221; title=&#8221;Is there such thing as a Bagua map calculator?&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; text_direction=&#8221;default&#8221;]A: While there isn\u2019t a specific Bagua map calculator, there are many tools and guides available to help you create your own Bagua map accurately! Simply follow the step-by-step instructions provided earlier in this article.\r\n\r\nAnd if you\u2019re uncertain, numerous online resources and apps can guide you in determining the layout and energy flow of your home. Just remember that understanding and personalization are key.
