Dear Marianne,

The fixed Ba Gua template was invented in the mind of one person. Please read the article on him:-

In traditional Feng Shui, it is advisable not to use fixed templates. There are two Compass School methods: Eight House and Flying Star.

An illustration on the use of the Eight House theory is available under:

Overall, I see that you are trying to apply the `fixed template' which is not practised in the East e.g. China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Far East countries like Malaysia and Singapore.

In my opinion, the `method' you had mentioned should not be used.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
