 For interiors in both houses and apartments, the Lo Shu Square should be superimposed onto all the built-up areas that share a roof mass. This means that for apartments you should first superimpose the Square onto the whole building, then apply it to the apartment space itself. This will give a much more accurate assessment of the apartment’s feng shui and its suitability for a resident.

 When there is more than one level, each level should be treated separately, since different floors usually have different areas and dimensions.

 When the floor space is irregular, some masters superimpose two different Lo Shu Squares. Personally, I prefer to use one grid and treat areas that are empty as missing corners.

 When a floor plan is narrow and deep or broad and shallow, some masters look at the way the rooms in the home have been arranged and use a six-grid Lo Shu instead of the traditional nine-grid Lo Shu. This means dropping the center grids. I prefer to continue using the nine-grid Lo Shu, with the demarcated sectors equally worked out in terms of floor area. Therefore, in effect, the Lo Shu Square can be stretched vertically or horizontally.

Superimposing the Lo Shu onto a floor plan is the most practical method of demarcating sectors within the home. This enables the practitioner to identify the different corners for purposes of applying the different formulas, and also energize the corner according to the Elements that are allocated to each of the sectors. In short, superimposing the grid enables you to start understanding the energy of your space and take action to enhance it.

For regular floor plans, the Lo Shu Square should fit proportionally over the available space. Here, the rectangular shape of the individual squares reflects the overall shape of the floor plan.
