Bagua Mirror: Feng Shui Use & Placement Guide

What Is a Bagua Mirror?

A specialized octagonal remedy used exclusively to deal with severe external environmental threats. It combines reflective physics with the geometric stability of the eight trigrams.

Where to Place It

• OUTDOORS ONLY: Above the door or window, facing the offending structure (like a sharp roofline).
• Never inside the home: It will cause chaotic energy to bounce around your living space.
• Never facing a neighbor’s door: This creates a “feng shui war” and bad interpersonal energy.

What It Addresses

• ✦ Counters: Poison Arrows like a T-junction road or sharp building corners by altering the trajectory of aggressive spatial frequencies.

2026 Placement Note

In 2026, the South hosts the Tai Sui. Avoid drilling new holes to install a mirror in the South this year if possible. If you must, do it quickly and quietly to avoid agitating the Grand Duke.

Choosing One

A Convex Bagua Mirror (bowing outward) is the safest choice for residential use, as it scatters energy rather than shooting it back at the environment.
