How to Identify Basic to Advanced Bagua Usage - Basic to Advanced Feng Shui

Feng shui can be so confusing. He does this. And she does that. Each practitioner has their own way of doing things. And nothing makes sense.

In this article, I am referring to a highly misinterpreted and misused feng shui tool, the Bagua.

Basic Feng Shui

​Most people practice basic feng shui by placing a bagua map or chart over a space; thus dividing the space into 8 trigrams, 8 palaces, or 8 different directional compass.

What most people don't know is that this is not the correct way of using a bagua map. It is the very beginning or basic stage of feng shui.

This way of using bagua:

• May or may not refer to the different direction that takes up 45 degrees.
• Does not apply time.
• May or may not reference to a compass reading.
• Does not include a person's energy (Bazi/astrology/Kua/Gua/DOB).

Intermediate Feng Shui

​Intermediate feng shui use the basic feng shui and the bagua map at another level. So instead of working with the difference of 45 degrees, intermediate feng shui works with the difference of 15 degrees, applies time, refers to a compass reading, looks at a person’s age, marital status, and family status, and focuses on the whole building and its center.

• Refers and works with the difference of 15 degrees (each direction is divided into 3 parts).
• Applies time.
• Refers to a compass reading of a building.
• Looks at a person's age, marital status, and family stautus.
• Focuses on the building.

Intermediate-to-Advanced Feng Shui

Intermediate-to-advanced Feng Shui refines Intermediate Feng Shui. This level of feng shui works with 15-degree and applies to a person or thing within a room. Instead of working with the whole building, like in Intermediate Feng Shui, this level works positioning desks or beds within a room at 15 degrees placements.

• Works with the difference of 15 degrees.
• Applies time.
• Refers to a compass reading of a person or thing in a room.
• Specific to the person’s location in a space/room.
• Fine tune using a person or thing as the focal point in a room.

Advanced Feng Shui

​Advanced Feng Shui is a precision method that takes 360 degrees and divide it into 64 parts or 64 hexagrams where we work with, look at, and recommend the difference of 5.625 degrees. This method also includes a person's energy (aka Bazi/astrology/kua or gua/DOB). At this level, we work with both a person's energy and a building's energy.

​Because we are working with 5.625 degrees, the chances of finding an auspicious Feng Shui earth energy that resonates or matches with a person's energy is slim. And so this method is not highly practiced.

• Works with the difference of 5.625 degrees.
• Applies time.
• Refers to a compass reading of a building and a person.
• Specify to a person’s energy (aka Bazi, Kua/Gua, astrology, or DOB).
• Works with a combination or match energies between a person and a building.
