General Uses For Bagua Mirrors
 
Bagua mirrors belong on the outside of the house, usually over the front door or main entrance of a home. The bagua mirror is a protective amulet used in classical feng shui schools to deflect and ward off any “poison arrows” or “sha qi”. This means if you have a large structure like a corner of a building or a sharp roof line directed towards your front door, you can hang the bagua mirror above your front door, facing towards the structure.
 
Bagua mirrors should not be placed in an interior environment, such as the outside of your apartment door inside of the building. In addition, the mirror should always face out and away from the home.
 
If your main door is in the wrong direction, such as East or Southeast, hang a Bagua mirror above the main door at the center point to stop the wrong energy field the entering the building.
 
You can also use the Bagua mirror if your main door faces a graveyard, police station, hospital, nursing home, or butcher shop.
 
Tips And Taboos
The best time to hang a Bagua Mirror is at noon (11:00–13:00), especially 12:00 when Yang is at the peak of the day.
Make sure there is no picture or statue of a god or the Buddha on the way of reflection, or it can be disrespectful and affect your blessings.
Do not reflect the light into other people’s home; otherwise, the evil spirits will enter their home. Remember not to do evil; otherwise, the Bagua Mirror will play a bad role rather than good!
 Do not put the Bagua Mirror indoors but outdoors; do not look in the mirror or put too many Bagua Mirrors — hang one in each direction, and limit the total number to three.
 Do not hang a Bagua Mirror on the ceiling. Generally speaking, the ceiling can map people and a Bagua Mirror here will undermine your luck.
 
Wrap Up
Bagua Mirrors are believed to transform negative chi into positive chi, hence promoting harmony (negative chi is called sha). Bagua mirrors are made by Feng Shui experts according to calculations based on the kua number and the date and year of birth of the native of the house. These instruments help protect homes, factories, and business houses from negative energies, which may adversely affect the owner’’s prosperity and happiness.
