Dearest Cecil-
I am saddened to share with you that after 4 years my partner and I have separated. I would like to make sure I am using the Bagua the proper way. My house/front door faces west. I am attaching a copy of a Bagua I found in Kirsten M. Lagatree's book that I really like. So, for example, if I wanted to energize the relationship of the house, I would break out the trusty compass and in the S.W. area of the house is where I should activate it. I was recently told the "career" or north part of the Bagua should always face your front door no matter which way your door faces. This confused me a little!! As always, thanks for your input.
Warm Regards,
Greg

Dear Greg,
1. In my opinion, in Traditional Feng Shui there is no `proper use of the Bagua ' as a means of looking at the Feng Shui of a house/room or office.
2. Sad to say, the `Fixed Template' type of Feng Shui is not recognised in Traditional FS Schools. It is a modern `invention' and to many Traditional FS sites, this is a marketing idea invented by the leader of the *Black Hat Tantric Buddhish* or *BTB*.
3. Thus, such ideas or concepts "to glorify" it are not discussed in this forum.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Gregg: Aaaagggggghhhhh! Don't use Black Hat Feng Shui to "fix" anything - you can make things worse! The Bagua should only be used outside the front door if there is a poison arrow (like a tree, lamp post or neighbor's roof) pointing at you, or a T-junction, etc. Never put it inside the house - it causes discord. I'm sorry to hear that you broke up - you may want to look into how to correct house imbalances in the reports. I can attest to the fact that Cecil's advice really works. Good luck!!! Sincerely, Elena
