Hello

Could you please tell me how to place the Ba Gua over my house plans in the Southern Hemisphere? There seems to be so much debate over whether North and South are reversed etc. My main entrance is in North, so is my relationship area in South-West or South-East? Thankyou.

Leigh

Dear Leigh,

In my opinion, many traditional practitioners of Feng Shui strongly believe that we should not reverse the readings for the southern hemisphere.

I am not going to comment on the use of the "fixed template" or the placement of a "fixed" bagua onto a layout plan as this is a modern invention. And not widely practised by Traditional School(s) of Feng Shui.

The example of water draining out of the sink the opposite site which differs clockwise or anti-clockwise between the North and South hemispere is often used by those who reverse the readings.

There are lots of arguments against this such as the Five Elements Concept: Metal - Water - Wood - Fire - Earth certainly does not have impact whether one is in the North or South hemisphere.

Many other concepts in Feng Shui also are affected by this North-South .. thing.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
