What does it mean to “Feng Shui Your Life”?
All Feng Shui consultations begin with charting the 9 main areas of your life. We collect specific information about your home or building and life circumstances then employ a template called a “Bagua”, which is believed to relate to every aspect of our existence.
Seeking balance and harmony between you, your environment, and all the aspects of your life is the ultimate goal of Feng Shui.

How do I apply the Bagua to my house?
The Feng Shui map or Bagua is superimposed over your property, home, office or desk. It reveals areas lacking good Chi, and shows ‘missing areas‘. This alerts the Feng Shui Master to what needs correcting or enhancing.
For example, if the Bagua is placed over your house plan and it shows the bathroom in the wealth area it would be considered that the money you earned would disappear very fast. You would be symbolically ‘flushing your wealth‘ or it would be ‘going down the drain.’
The Bagua is an essential tool in the majority of Feng Shui schools. The Bagua (Also Pakua; literally “eight symbols”) are eight diagrams used in several Chinese doctrines to represent a range of interrelated concepts. Each consists of three lines, each either “broken” or “unbroken,” representing a yin line or a yang line, respectively. Due to their tripartite structure, they are often referred to as “trigrams” in English.
The trigrams are related to Taiji philosophy and the Wu Xing (五行), or The Five Elements philosophy: Wood (木 mù), Fire (火 huǒ), Earth (土 tǔ), Metal(金 jīn), and Water (水 shuǐ). The ancient Chinese classic I Ching (Yi Jing) consists of the 64 pairs of trigrams (called “hexagrams”) and commentary on them. The interrelationships among the trigrams are represented in two arrangements, the “Earlier Heaven” Bagua (used for burial sites), and the “Later Heaven” Bagua (used for the residences and businesses).
When people refer to Feng Shui these days, they are invariably talking about the Later Heaven Bagua.
The eight trigrams are: Qian (Chien) “Heaven”, Xun (Sun) “Wind”, Kan “Water”, Gen (Ken) “Mountain”, Kun “Earth”, Zhen (Chen) “Thunder”, Li “Fire”, and Dui (Tui) “Lake.” The trigrams are also found in astronomy, astrology, geography, geomancy, anatomy, the family, and elsewhere.
