Eight Directions: A Beginner’s Map
Link compass sectors to life themes — without memorizing jargon
The bagua is a map of eight directions. For beginners it is enough to know that north often relates to career, southeast to wealth wind and study, south to visibility, southwest to relationships, and so on — always as tendencies, not fate.
Key takeaways
- Stand at the center of the home and confirm directions with a compass.
- Missing corners or toilets in a sector may affect related themes — read the whole layout, not one label.
- Treat online “wealth corner” tips as hints until sitting direction is known.
