How to Apply the Western, or BTB Bagua in Your Home

The Western, or BTB Feng Shui School Bagua, is really easy to define and apply in your home. You will need a floor plan of your home, as well as additional paper and pencil(s). Using tracing paper often makes it easier to define your bagua.

The Western, or BTB Feng Shui School bagua consists of the same nine areas as the Traditional Feng Shui School Bagua.

However, the compass directions are not taken into consideration; the way you lay the BTB, or Western Feng Shui School Bagua, is by aligning the lower end of the grid with the main door wall.

Here is how you define the Western, or BTB School bagua of your home.

Create a grid with nine squares (or rectangles) that will fit over your floor plan.

Align the lower part, or the lower row of your grid, with the wall of your main door.

Assign each of the 9 squares (or rectangles) to the following feng shui areas:

• First Row, the lower part of the grid (Left to Right):



• Personal Growth and Cultivation



• Career / Path in Life



• Helpful People / Blessings
  
  
As the lower part of the grid is aligned with the wall of the main door, your main door will be in either one of these three areas.

• Second, or Middle Row (Left to Right)



• Health / Family



• Center / Heart / Yin Yang



• Children / Creativity

• Third, or Upper Row (Left to Right)



• Prosperity/ Abundance



• Fame / Reputation



• Love / Marriage
