The white represents clarity and extraversion in nature, the black represents mystery and introversion in nature. According to the Tao Te Ching Lao Tzu tells us to know the yang but keep to the yin. (Check comments)

    @zhiwen1125 Thanks! I did know there were different arrangements of the bagua, I just didn't quite know which one to choose from.

    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
