It is when you spend a little time taking note of the arrangement of trigrams and their placement around this Yang Pa Kua that you begin to really understand the fundamental basis of feng shui practice. For now it is sufficient to know that we use the Yang Pa Kua for analysis for our feng shui practice, and not the Yin Pa Kua, which is more suitable for yin dwellings, or graveyards. So to practice feng shui, learn the attributes of each of the sides of the Yang Pa Kua.

The Pa Kua contains six rings that give different information to the feng shui practitioner (see here) One ring gives the life aspiration, for example career prospects or recognition and fame; the second the compass direction; the third the color of the Element; the fourth the Element, such as Water or Fire; the fifth the trigram; and the sixth the trigram character itself.

The Yang Pa Kua is the one that is used in feng shui analysis. The difference between this and the Yin Pa Kua is the way the trigrams have been placed. The arrangement of trigrams here is known as the Later Heaven Arrangement. This reflects the essence of yang feng shui. It reflects the cyclical nature of energy and shows how this can be activated to create and accumulate quantities of precious yang energy. It is this yang energy that brings life, activity, success, and joyousness to living spaces. In advanced feng shui work, both the Pa Kuas are combined to analyze the landforms around the home.
