Bagua and Flying Stars – The Core Principles of Feng Shui Layout
The foundation of Feng Shui is based on the Later Heaven Bagua. The Later Heaven Bagua consists of the following eight trigrams: Kan (1), Kun (2), Zhen (3), Xun (4), Central Palace (5), Qian (6), Dui (7), Gen (8), and Li (9). It divides space into nine sectors (including the Central Palace) and assigns each direction distinct Five Element attributes and symbolic meanings. Through the Bagua, we can understand how different directions influence aspects of life: for example, the North is associated with career, the Southeast represents wealth, and the Southwest influences family harmony. Therefore, a well-planned spatial arrangement can activate the energy of specific directions, enhancing personal fortune.
However, relying solely on the Ba Gua is not enough, as energy flow is dynamic and ever-changing. The Annual Flying Stars (Nine Flying Stars) shift to different sectors each year, making some areas auspicious while others may bring obstacles. For instance, 2025 Feng Shui, the 8 White Prosperity Star will be positioned in the Southwest, making it an ideal area for enhancing financial luck. On the other hand, the 5 Yellow Misfortune Star will fall into the Northeast, requiring remedies to neutralize its negative effects and prevent misfortune.
Because of these annual shifts, Feng Shui adjustments must be made each year based on the movement of the Bagua and Flying Stars. By carefully arranging furniture, using Feng Shui enhancers, and optimizing spatial energy, we can attract good fortune and avoid misfortune, bringing greater harmony to our home, career, and health.
2025 Feng Shui Adjustment and Layout Methods
Southeast Position Adjustment:
This position is both the Peach Blossom (romantic) position and the Nobleman (benefactor) position. If you want to find your ideal partner or have someone support you in your career, you can make adjustments in this area.
Whether you are looking for love or hoping for a benefactor to assist you in your career, placing a Golden Gourd Feng Shui Ornament or a Taishan Stone Feng Shui Ornament in this position can be beneficial.
- The Golden Gourd Feng Shui Ornament helps attract wealth and enhances energy fields. Additionally, the gourd symbolizes “hundreds of blessings at your door,” which can help you quickly find your desired partner.
- The Taishan Stone Feng Shui Ornament is believed to attract benefactors, helping the right people appear in your life sooner and assisting you in overcoming difficulties smoothly.
South and Southwest Position Adjustment:
If you want to achieve a significant breakthrough in wealth, these two positions must be properly adjusted. Why? Because both are wealth positions.
South Position (Windfall Wealth Position):
If you are involved in investment, stocks, securities, or related fields, the South position is crucial for wealth accumulation. To enhance your financial success, consider placing a Four Symbols Wealth Array or a Four Symbols and Four Divine Beasts Gourd Wealth Array in this area. These wealth arrays help attract fortune, gather wealth, and support financial growth.
Southwest Position (Stable Wealth Position):
If you are a salaried employee or run a stable business, the Southwest position represents steady income. Proper adjustments in this area can help increase your earnings. It is recommended to place a Feng Shui Toad Chan Chu Resin Mini Display here. The combination of the three-legged toad and a treasure bowl symbolizes a continuous influx of customers and wealth, helping to accumulate and sustain prosperity.
West Position Adjustment:
The West position represents career and academic success, making it beneficial for both professional growth and education. If you seek a breakthrough in your career, such as a promotion, arranging this area properly can bring positive results. The best Feng Shui ornaments for this position are the Horse to Success Feng Shui Ornament or the Eagle Feng Shui Decor.
- Horse to Success Feng Shui Ornament symbolizes success, career advancement, and smooth progress in all endeavors. The galloping horse represents courage, determination, and continuous improvement, signifying a rising career and steady progress.
- Eagle Feng Shui Decor symbolizes great ambition and career success. In Feng Shui, the eagle represents strength, courage, and vision. Known as the “King of the Sky,” it symbolizes soaring achievements and expanding opportunities in one’s career.
Both of these Feng Shui ornaments can greatly support your career growth.
If you are preparing for exams, you can also enhance this area by placing a Wenchang Talisman Jade Pendant. Hanging the Wenchang Talisman Jade Pendant (FuLu) in the West position or wearing it can be beneficial for students. The Wenchang Talisman is a Taoist spiritual symbol (FuLu) in Chinese culture, representing wisdom, enhanced memory, and improved learning abilities. It helps reduce exam stress and blesses the wearer with excellent academic performance.
East Position Adjustment:
The East position represents joyous occasions. If there is a pregnant woman in the household and the baby is about to be born, it is essential to arrange this area properly. A well-arranged space can maximize the chances of a smooth delivery for both the baby and the mother.
For this position, the recommended Feng Shui ornaments are the Golden Gourd Feng Shui Ornament or the Longevity Peach Feng Shui Sculpture. These symbols represent blessing (Fu), prosperity (Lu), and longevity, making them the best wishes for the mother and baby.
Adjustments for the Northeast, North, Northwest, and Central Palace
Among these four sectors, three (Northeast, North, and Central Palace) are afflicted by inauspicious stars, making it crucial to apply the right remedies. As mentioned in my previous blog post, these negative stars can lead to various problems. For a more detailed analysis, please refer to the previous article—here, I will briefly summarize their effects.
Among these four sectors, three (Northeast, North, and Central Palace) are afflicted by inauspicious stars, making it crucial to apply the right remedies. As mentioned in my previous blog post, these negative stars can lead to various problems. For a more detailed analysis, please refer to the previous article—here, I will briefly summarize their effects.
- Northeast Sector: If this area is used as a bedroom or if Feng Shui adjustments are not properly implemented, it may lead to health risks, disasters, or financial losses.
- North Sector: If this area is occupied or lacks proper Feng Shui corrections, it can cause arguments, disputes, or even unexpected injuries.
- Central Palace: If someone resides here or if this sector remains unbalanced, it may result in health issues or career setbacks.
- Northwest Sector: Although this sector is influenced by an auspicious star, it has a dual nature. If improperly arranged, it may lead to legal entanglements, lawsuits, or personal harm.
I have always emphasized using the ShanGui Coin as a powerful remedy for these inauspicious influences. Simply hang the ShanGui Coin in the respective sector to mitigate the harmful effects. The ShanGui Coin is a special type of Taoist Coin Charm that can effectively reduce the negative impact of inauspicious stars. If someone resides in an afflicted area, the negative influence of the star will intensify, posing a greater risk to the occupant’s well-being. Therefore, placing the ShanGui Coin in these sectors is highly recommended to maintain harmony and protection.
