The Ba gua are eight diagrams used in Taoist cosmology to represent a range of interrelated concepts. Each consists of three lines, each either “broken” or “unbroken,” representing a yin line or a yang line, respectively. Due to their tripartite structure, they are often referred to as “trigrams” in English. These eight diagrams represent Heaven, Wood, Water, Mountain, Earth, Thunder, Fire and Lake.
What is it used for, or what is it?
Simply put: A Ba Gua is one of the tools used by a feng shui master, along with a Luo Pan (feng shui compass) to help determine preferred locations, in the home or office, for certain functions; such as wealth, health, fame, love and more.
