Feng Shui Bagua is one of the main feng shui tools used to analyze the energy of any given space. Translated from Chinese, Bagua literally means "8 areas."

There are two very different ways of applying feng shui bagua. One is the classical, or traditional feng shui school bagua, which is always defined after taking the compass reading of your main door.

The other way of defining the bagua - called the BTB School bagua, or the Western bagua - is defined without taking into consideration the compass direction of the main door.

The truth is, each bagua has its merits,

The Western, or BTB School bagua is easier to apply, and many people achieve results with it.

The Classical, or Compass Feng Shui School bagua requires to first take a compass reading, then define the bagua. It usually takes several attempts to accurately define the classical feng shui bagua.

In your feng shui applications, it is important to choose one bagua style and re-create your home accordingly.

If you are new to feng shui, do not try to apply both baguas at the same time, as this can lead to a lot of confusion, as well as weak results.
