Question: Octagon shapes with mirrors, red and gold. what are they for and where should they go in the house?If you ever visit a Chinese Souvenir shop or Feng Shui shop, you'll notice these octagonal shaped mirrors with lines (trigrams representing each section of the BaGua) painted on wood around them. Many people like the looks of them but may not know why or how you should use them.
The BaGua mirror is used to diffuse strong energy directed towards a specific point. A general guideline is that they should never be hung inside a home or business and only be used on the outside. There are special circumstances when you would hang one indoors but 98% of the time, always on the outside of a residence or business.
Examples of when to use a BaGua Mirror: If your home or business is at the end of a T-Intersection, if you have a corner or sharp object pointing at the front door, or if you are experiencing unpleasant energy from a particular area around your home or business. At that time, it would be appropriate to hang a BaGua Mirror pointing towards that direction.
The most common position is to place it over the front door for a business or home. Keep in mind that this should be diffusing energy that you find difficult and not necessarily because you just thought it should be there because it was for sale in a store.
I recently visited a home that had 6 BaGua mirrors hanging in the bedroom and hallway. I asked the individual why and they said, I don't know, because I thought that is what you were supposed to do and I always saw them at the store so I picked up a couple.
There actually was a recent law suit in San Fransisco's China Town where a store owner was suing another store owner because they placed a BaGua mirror over their door and was pointing at their business. This is the wrong approach when thinking about a BaGua mirror. It does not necessarily reflect the energy or send energy back to that location to make them suffer but actually is a method to transform the energy and disperse the energy.
So the next time you see a BaGua mirror, don't feel that you need to purchase it for Feng Shui unless you have a specific reason for placing it.

I was experiencing some trouble at work that was causing problems in my home. I was instructed to hang a BaGua mirror over my front door. I did, but incorrectly hung it on the inside. How bad is this? And what should I do now to help clear what I have done?
Ellie,
Not to worry. Just remove it from inside and hang it outside above the front door. Although, I'm wondering who told you to use a Ba Gua mirror? An expert in Feng Shui or someone that has read items about Feng Shui?
Ken,
Thank you for your help. Clearly the person who told me was NOT an expert. I trusted the information at the time because the person clearly seemed to want to help me. I will know better from now on and will do some thorough research of my own before acting.
