Q: I have read many things on placement of the bagua over a room, but I still am confused what to do. When I look into my bedroom or living room, from the door to each room, I see a wall. I must turn to the left in both situations to be able to fully look into the space. Should I turn to the left and place the bagua from that point with north being close to me? Or do I have to line it up with the edge of the wall that the door is on and face the wall instead of looking into the space??
A: The ba gua always starts at the door, so in your case from the doorway it will extend to the left the width of the room, and forward to the far wall of the room:
The doorway will be in the lower right corner of the ba gua (helpful friends). You can see in the diagram that because of the room layout both the Relationships and Creativity/Children areas of this room are reduced in size. You may wish to strengthen these two guas with remedies either within this room, or in other Relationship and Creativity/Children locations elsewhere in the home.
BTW: North is only relevant if you are using the compass directions. It does not affect the doorway placement method.
Have fun feng shui-ing these rooms.
