Feng Shui Tools

These are small calculators that run in your browser. Each one applies a single Feng Shui or BaZi rule to what you tell it: where the door is, where the bed goes, when you were born. They use the same rules as the Feng Shui Scan app, they are free, and nothing you enter is sent anywhere.

What each tool is for

Start with the question you have.

  • "Where should my bed go?" The bed placement tool checks a bed against the command position: can it see the door, is the headboard on a solid wall, is it out of the door’s line. The desk placement tool does the same for a desk.
  • "Which part of my home is the wealth corner?" The Bagua map lays the nine life areas over a plan two ways, by the front door and by compass, so you can see that the two methods give different answers.
  • "What are my lucky directions?" There are two traditional answers. The Feng Shui calculator gives your Kua number and its eight directions. The BaZi calculator works out your Four Pillars chart and the elements it is said to favour.
  • "Does my home have bad Feng Shui?" The floor plan self-check is twelve yes-or-no questions drawn from the things the app looks for, each linked to a page that explains it.

What a browser tool can and cannot do

A tool on a web page knows only what you type into it. That is enough for a calculation: a Kua number needs a birth year, a BaZi chart needs a date, time and place. It is enough for a rule you can describe in a sentence, like whether a headboard is on the door wall.

It is not enough for anything that depends on measurement. Whether a bed is in line with a door comes down to the width of the bed, the width of the doorway and a few centimetres of offset. Whether a hallway is too narrow depends on what is standing in it. A Feng Shui reading of a whole home follows the path from the front door through every room, and that path is a property of your actual floor, not of a form.

So the tools answer "what does the rule say?", and a scan answers "does my room meet it?".

The rules behind them

The placement tools follow form-school Feng Shui, which reads a room by its shape and its doors. The Bagua tool shows both the Black Hat layout, aligned to the front door, and the compass layout; they are different schools and are presented as such. The Kua calculator is Eight Mansions, a compass school. The BaZi calculator follows common Four Pillars practice: the year turns at the start of spring, months turn at solar terms, and the day turns at 11 pm.

Every one of these is a traditional method of interpretation. None of them measures anything about your home or predicts anything about your life.

The tools

A tool can tell you what the rule is. It cannot see your room. For that you need the room itself, to scale.

SCAN YOUR HOME

The tools work on a room you describe. A scan works on the room you have, measured.

What the app adds to the tools

  • A floor plan of your actual home, with walls, doors, windows and furniture measured by the scan.
  • The flow path from your front door through every room, and each place it is restricted or blocked.
  • The command-position check on every bed and desk in the plan, not on a sample room.
  • The Bagua laid over your real plan, by front door or by compass heading.
  • Your BaZi chart applied to where your bed and desk sit and which way you face.

Questions

Are the Feng Shui tools free?

Yes. They run in your browser, need no account, and send nothing you enter to a server.

Do the tools use the same rules as the app?

Yes. The BaZi calculator is a port of the app's own engine and is tested against it. The bed and desk tools apply the app's three command-position checks to a sample room. The Kua calculator is the exception: the app personalises through BaZi and does not use Kua numbers.

Which tool should I start with?

If you are arranging a bedroom, the bed placement tool. If you are curious about yourself, the BaZi calculator. If you are worried about your home as a whole, the floor plan self-check.

Can a tool analyse my floor plan?

Not from a web page. The self-check asks you about your plan, which is useful but relies on your own judgement. Reading a plan properly needs the measurements a scan takes.
