Pick one method (main door or compass), drop a clean 3x3 grid, and keep zone boundaries consistent even in irregular layouts.
Bagua overlay guide
3x3 grid alignment reference
Align the bottom row to the main entry for the door method, or align North for the compass method.
What this usually means
Bagua (the eight trigrams map) works when zones stay consistent and the center remains balanced; switching methods creates mixed signals.
Verify it on your floor plan
Overlay a nine-grid on your plan, mark the front door, and note any rooms split across zones.
Check these first
- You keep switching between door and compass placement.
- The center of the grid lands in a wall or shaft.
- One room spreads across multiple zones without a dominant area.
When this may not be the main issue
- The grid fits inside the main walls with only minor offsets.
- Balconies or patios are excluded consistently across all zones.
- Split rooms have a clear dominant zone.

What to do next
Start with the lightest moves first, then use the checker when the layout needs a full read.
Fixes without renovation
Choose one alignment method, label the 3x3 grid, and keep balconies or voids consistently in or out.
Fixes with renovation
Strengthen missing corners with lighting, storage, or circulation adjustments to reduce the void.
