Measure the Bagua Points
We know that 352.5 is a North facing house, because North feng shui area of the Bagua is from 337.5 to 22.5. So by marking these readings on the floor plan you define the North bagua area of the floor plan.
Next proceed to defining all the Bagua areas according to the corresponding compass directions:
Northeast (22.5 to 67.5)
East (67.5 to 112.5)
Southeast (112.5 to 157.5)
South (157.5 to 202.5)
Southwest (202.5 to 247.5)
West (247.5 to 292.5)
Northwest (292.5 to 337.5)
Connect the Energy Map Lines
When you take the protractor away, all you need to do is connect the lines (direction markings) through the center and you will see how easily we defined the bagua, or the energy map of a home.
