The Bagua nine-palace map is the foundation of Xuan Kong Flying Stars: each of the 1-9 palaces carries both Houtian (Wen Wang) and Xiantian (Fu Xi) Bagua, combined with the nine stars to evaluate auspicious spots. Use the QiFlow free tool (qiflow.io/tools/bagua-map) - click any palace for its meaning.
Houtian (Wen Wang) Bagua follows directions: Kan-North, Li-South, Zhen-East, Dui-West - used in modern Xuan Kong. Xiantian (Fu Xi) Bagua follows 'heaven above, earth below': Qian-South, Kun-North, Li-East, Kan-West - used in heshi judgments.
Heshi means two palaces sum to 10: Houtian pairs are 1+9 / 2+8 / 3+7 / 4+6; Xiantian pairs are 6+2 / 7+8 / 9+1 / 3+4. Heshi is one of the key judgments for geju (configuration) auspiciousness.
