When Your Wealth Corner Is a Bathroom, Kitchen or Missing Altogether

Hub ยท Wealth, Love & Bagua
Wealth, love and the bagua areas of your home
The bagua divides a home into nine areas, each linked to part of life: wealth, reputation, relationships, family, health, creativity, knowledge, career and helpful people. The guides below start with the two areas people tend to look for first, the wealth and love corners, and what to put in them.
Two methods are in common use, door-based and compass-based, and they can give different answers. These guides explain both. As always, these are traditional associations, not promises.
