Richard’s interpretation of the Ba Gua, or “eight trigrams” (the Chinese cosmological mandala and basis of the "I Ching"), which gives a new way to read and use it for feng shui analysis and self knowledge. This approach treats the ba gua as four complementary pairs of archetypal creative forces, rather than eight separate ideas. It makes the wisdom of the ba gua more accessible by translating ancient Chinese ideals into modern American equivalents. This approach was generated by applying numerology, geometry, psychology and astrology to the interpretation of the ba gua, and by comparing it to other cosmological mandalas and oracular systems. It reveals how energy naturally circulates between the polarities of each aspect of life, represented by opposite guas. Consciously linking the pairs in your life and environment amplifies the benefits of feng shui adjustments. Now includes the “How to Remember the Guas” sheet of extremely simple mental images to help connect the trigram names to the primal forces they represent. 15 pp.
