Fri, 10 Dec 2021

In Chinese “ba” means “eight” and “gua” means “trigram”. As the name implies, the eight trigrams are divided into 8 parts, each consisting of three lines. The installation of 8 trigrams in the house aims to ward off evil spirits and bring good luck.

According to historical records, the Chinese metaphysicist Fu Xi (2953-2538 BC) was the first to discover the concept of eight trigrams. He made careful observations of various natural phenomena. From his observations, he drew symbols known as trigrams.

Benefits of Installing Eight Trigrams

There are several benefits of installing eight trigrams in your home according to feng shui.

Other than the plank, lately experts of feng shui often combine the eight trigrams with a mirror. The mirror is an eight trigram mirror or bagua mirror. Broadly speaking, bagua mirrors are divided into concave mirrors and convex mirrors.

Both bagua mirrors have their respective functions. A concave bagua mirror has a function to collect positive energy around the house. On the other hand, convex bagua mirrors serve to reflect negative energy.

Installing Eight Trigrams

In general, eight trigrams are fengshui items that are exclusively used for the exterior of the house. You should not place eight trigrams in the interior because the effect will not be maximal.

Fengshui experts believe that the eight good trigrams are those made of mahogany. This is because mahogany itself has the ability to ward off evil spirits.

Before performing the installation, the eight trigrams need to be ordained first. In addition, you must also search for a good day to install the eight trigram installation.
