About this Pa Kua Ba Gua Mirror
The Pa Kua / Ba Gua Mirror is one of the most well-known protective tools in classical Feng Shui practice. The octagonal frame reflects the eight trigrams of the I Ching, each representing a direction and a domain of life, while the central mirror is traditionally used to deflect or neutralise negative energy — known as sha chi or 'poison arrows' — that may be directed at a home from sharp corners, straight roads, or other challenging structural features in the environment. This item is typically hung on the exterior of the front door or above it, facing outward, and should not be placed inside the home.
- Hung above or on the exterior face of the main entrance, facing outward
- Traditionally used to deflect sha chi from sharp angles or opposing structures
- The eight trigrams on the frame represent balance across all life areas
- Regarded as a protective boundary symbol for the home in Feng Shui tradition
Astrological significance
The Ba Gua is the foundational map of Feng Shui, encoding the eight directions and their associated life domains — family, wealth, fame, relationships, children, mentors, career, and knowledge. The Pa Kua Mirror draws on this framework as a protective symbol, believed in the Feng Shui tradition to redirect inauspicious energies away from the household before they can affect the inhabitants. Consulting a qualified Feng Shui practitioner is advisable before installing a Ba Gua Mirror, as its correct type (flat, concave, or convex) and position depend on the specific external features of the property.
