The Ba-gua: An Essential Tool for Transforming Your Home
Feng shui utilizes an octagonal pattern known as the "ba-gua," which divides our lives into eight sectors called "gua." Each gua represents a certain area or sphere of activity - marriage, career, children, health, et cetera. If you look at the border of the ba-gua you'll see that it's illustrated with three-lined figures called "trigrams." These are linked with the three-thousand-year-old Chinese oracle known as the I Ching or "The Book of Changes." In the center of the ba-gua is the yin-yang symbol we talked about earlier, signifying balance. You will find an example of a ba-gua on page 8, which you will need to refer to from time to time. Each gua is also associated with a part of the body, a color, and other things we'll discuss later.
