[Feng Shui] Finding Tai Chi Point—Locating Your Universe Center
Core Theory: Establishing the Center
The hardest step in feng shui isn’t memorizing books—it’s drawing diagrams.
If you get the center point wrong, all your East, South, West, North are wrong.
Deep Analysis: The Nightmare of Irregular Floor Plans
Modern homes are rarely perfectly square.
Simple Method
If the house is square, the intersection of diagonals is the center (Tai Chi point).
Advanced Method (Geometric Centroid)
For missing corners, L-shaped, or gun-shaped homes:
- Complete the floor plan into a full rectangle
- Or divide it into two rectangles and find the centroid
Importance
Standing at this center point with your luopan, the directions you measure are accurate.
Many people stand at the front door to measure directions, then arrange the living room—all wrong.
Because feng shui uses “house center” as the coordinate system, not “person” as the coordinate system.
Practical Logic: Center Palace Trapped
After finding the Tai Chi point, check what’s there.
Most Feared ❌
Stairs in center: Called “heart-piercing sha”—energy field gets shredded by the stairs. Heart and blood vessel problems likely.
Kitchen in center: Called “fire burning heart”—explosive temper, family disharmony.
Toilet in center: Called “water drowning heart”—dampness throughout body, wealth blocked.
Ideal ✅
Hallway, open space, living room edge.
Center palace should be quiet, empty, and stable.
Feng Shui Practice
- Draw an accurate floor plan
- Use geometry to find the center point
- Check what’s at the center point
- If it’s stairs/kitchen/toilet, major remedies needed
