[Feng Shui] Bagua Map—Your House is Also a Person

Core Theory: Later Heaven Bagua & Missing Corners

At beginner level, we only discuss front, back, left, right. At advanced level, you need to know that a house is a holographic living entity.

The Later Heaven Bagua isn’t just about directions—it represents family members, body parts, and life areas.

Deep Analysis: Directional Hologram

Imagine your floor plan as a 9-grid, overlaid with the “Later Heaven Bagua.”

Northwest (Qian Trigram) 👨‍💼

Person: Father, male head, boss
Element: Major Metal
Body: Head, bones, lungs

Advanced Logic: If northwest is missing (that area is indented) or has a toilet/kitchen, this is classic “damage to father” feng shui. The male head doesn’t want to come home, career is blocked, or family members get headaches.

Southwest (Kun Trigram) 👩‍🦰

Person: Mother, female head
Element: Major Earth
Body: Abdomen, spleen/stomach, reproductive system

Advanced Logic: Southwest represents tolerance and support. If southwest is cluttered or missing, the female head usually has health issues, or becomes extremely nagging and anxious (earth is attacked or impure).

Due East (Zhen Trigram) 🌱

Person: Eldest son
Element: Wood
Imagery: Starting, shaking, liver/gallbladder

Advanced Logic: “Rising from the east” refers to this. If you want to start a business, or have a teenage boy, due east absolutely cannot be messy or a toilet—otherwise the child becomes rebellious and ventures end “halfway.”

Practical Application: How to Fix Missing Corners?

Many modern apartments have bizarre layouts with missing corners.

Physical Fix

For missing areas, place items of the corresponding element along that wall.

Missing Northwest (Metal): Metal spheres, gold clocks
Missing Due East (Wood): Tall green plants

Symbolic Fix

Hang calligraphy or paintings of the corresponding trigram (like “Grand Vision” or Tai Mountain painting for Qian).
