Feng shui bagua (also known as Pakua or Ba-Gua) is the feng shui energy map of a home. To create good energy in your home, it is best to know the feng shui bagua of the home and balance its feng shui energies accordingly.

Feng Shui Bagua is one of the main feng shui tools used to analyze the energy of any given space. Translated from Chinese, Bagua literally means "8 areas."

In order to define your Bagua, you will need to take the compass reading of your home first.

Each of the 8 feng shui areas, or directions, has a feng shui element, feng shui colors, and life areas associated with it.
