What is Zhen (Thunder)?
Zhen (震) is the trigram of Thunder and Wood (雷·木), seated in the east of the Later Heaven bagua; a person whose Life Gua is Zhen belongs to the East Four Houses (東四命). Such a person is seen to move with vigor like thunder, with a strong drive and enterprising spirit for starting things anew. In a home, the most auspicious direction (Sheng Qi) is the south, and the four East-group guas — Kan, Li, Zhen, and Xun — share directions that work auspiciously with one another.
