with the 8 trigram markings on the outside with or without mirror is

those with the twin door gods, and all types of mirror or non-mirror in
the middle of this ba gua.

Dear FS Master
Im a FS newbie and grateful for your generous site. I have2 questions:
1) Im wondering whether I can handpainta PaKua symbol (window colors) - i.e. will it have the same effect as a hardcopy made inChina?
2) Do the Trigrams have to point in the right Direction? Or are they arranged auspiciously in a certain way in relation to eachother?You know, not all theTrigrams in your picture (see http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-8trigram.htm) point in the right direction... Why?

1. The ba gua template must follow the "First Heaven Sequence" arrangement:-

2. Why not. You may print out a First Heaven Sequence arrangement or draw one yourself. The actual ba guas usually will have a "charm" printed behind the ba gua mirror.


3. Please note that the Ba Gua symbols are meant more for "protection" from evil spirits. While a secondary mirror on the ba gua is used for other "things" like : a conCAVE mirror is usually to suck back missing corner wealth. While a conVEX mirror is to deflect poison arrow e.g. a street lamp aimed at a main door or a main door facing a T-junction.
