Eight Mansions: East vs West Life Groups

Match your personal gua to favorable directions

Eight Mansions is practical but not absolute. Modern flats have fixed sitting directions — use the system as guidance, not guilt.

Key takeaways

  • Calculate ming gua before applying east/west labels.
  • Put beds and desks in favorable sectors when possible.
  • When layout cannot match, use Form cures — backing, screens, quiet.

Key points are summarized from the works and public references below, reflecting mainstream feng shui, fate-chart, and divination teachings for beginners—not personal invention. Apply ideas with judgment.
