What is Dui (Lake)?
Dui (兌) is the trigram of Lake and Metal (澤·金), seated in the west of the Later Heaven bagua; a person whose Life Gua is Dui belongs to the West Four Houses (西四命). Such a person is seen to hold joy like a lake — gifted in speech, at ease among people, and strongly sociable. In a home, the most auspicious direction (Sheng Qi) is the northwest, and the four West-group guas — Qian, Kun, Gen, and Dui — share directions that work auspiciously with one another.
