The Feng Shui energy chart known as the Ba Gua is what we sometimes call a Feng Shui Octagon. Either choice is acceptable, interchangeable and totally correct. Many find it easier to refer to as an Octagon because Ba Gua (Bah-gwah) is not only an unfamiliar term, but they are typically unsure of the correct pronunciation. The important thing to know, whichever term we choose to use, is its use in defining the space of the nine life areas and the energies contained in each.
A traditional Ba Gua is octagon shaped and is used to lay over your homes floor plan. You can bring the elements of Feng Shui to your garden, your office or even your desktop. As you begin to use the Ba Gua for positive energy changes, always place the center front Career Area at the entrance of your space. That will set the beginning of order for everything else you need to know.
There are Nine Life Areas:
Career Area: Located at the center front.
Helpful People Area: Located in the right front area of your space.
Knowledge Area: Located in the left front area of your space.
Fame/Reputation Area: Located in the center back.
Marriage /Partnership Area: Located in the back right area of your space.
Wealth / Money Area: Located in the back left of your space.
Health Area: Located in the Center of your space
Children Area: Located in the center right of your area.
Family Area: Located in the center left of your space.
The Career Area is the area to enhance when you need corrections concerning your work, job, employment etc. Connections to the outside world can be enhanced through working on the elements contained in this area as well.
The Helpful People Area is the area you go to when you have concerns about others who can positively influence your life. In enhancing this area, you can achieve the harmony needed to improve your life. It can help draw those that you need help from the most to you.

The Fame Area is where to look as you plan your future if that future includes a life where you want to draw public attention or acclaim to yourself.
