Is your house bagua (ba-gua, or energy map) the same as your yard, or your garden bagua? In other words, when you define your house bagua, do you include your garden in the house bagua?

Yes, you absolutely do! And then you focus on the needed feng shui elements to bring the desired balance of all five feng shui elements in your garden bagua. For example, if you plan to have an outdoor water feature, you know that best feng shui areas for it are East (feng shui health and family); Southeast (feng shui abundance) and North (feng shui career.) And if you are contemplating a Zen rock garden, best areas for the earth feng shui element are Southwest, West, Northwest and Northeast.

You cannot always have it perfect, but you can always make it better by using some smart feng shui tips to strengthen you bagua (ba-gua.)
