Bagua Mirror
The Bagua Mirror is a traditional feng shui piece — a small round mirror set in an octagonal frame painted with the eight trigrams (bagua) around the edge, with a cord for hanging. It is a compact, classic tool for the entrance of a home, small enough to hang discreetly above a doorway.

Meaning & history
In feng shui, a bagua mirror is traditionally hung above an outward-facing front door to reflect harsh or negative energy away from the home. The eight trigrams painted around its edge represent core elements and forces from classical feng shui philosophy, framing the small mirror at the center. Many people use one as a simple piece for protection & grounding, alongside other feng shui decor, and as part of building a sense of good luck around the entrance of the home.
How to use it
Hang the mirror outside, above the front door, facing outward toward the street or walkway — not inside as household decor. Many people install it once and leave it in place indefinitely as a quiet, ongoing piece of protective symbolism. Because it is handmade, exact size and detailing vary slightly from piece to piece. If your home has more than one front-facing door, most practitioners suggest choosing the main entrance — the door used most often — as the primary spot for this kind of placement, rather than hanging one above every door in the house.
Care & safety
Wipe the mirror and frame with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid moisture and harsh cleaners, which can affect the painted finish over time, and check the hanging cord periodically if it will be exposed outdoors to sun and rain.
