    Hey, this is brilliant! Traditionally, the arrangement of Bagua is fixed. The trigram on the North-east (Dui,) should be exchanged with that on the North-west (Xun,) while the trigram on the South-east (Zhen,) should be exchanged with that on the South-east (Gen,). This arrangement is called Xian tian Bagua (Earlier Heaven Bagua? I don't know how to translate it into English) and is one of the two arrangements. The other is called Hou tian Bagua (Later heaven, maybe) and is totally different
