Chinese feng shui masters also devised a tool called a Bagua map that lays out various life areas, or stations. They include health, wealth, marriage, and fame, to name a few. These areas correlate with various parts of a building or living space.
You can line up the Bagua map with your floor plan to help determine the optimal placement of colors, artwork, objects, and more. If there's a certain aspect of your life that feels off, adding different touches or reshuffling your possessions in the corresponding life area might help.
