Core: Setup Set up the Bagua Sand Tray, which is divided into Yin (black magnetic sand) and Yang (red cinnabar sand) zones.

Four Guardians:
East: Brass Azure Dragon with moss agate and a bamboo shoot (activates spring growth).
South: Brass Phoenix on a red jasper disc with pomegranate flowers (fuels summer vitality).
West: Brass Pi Yao facing the door, stepping on pyrite and holding an amber coin (harvests autumn wealth).
North: Brass Turtle carrying snow obsidian and a moonlit water bowl (anchors winter wisdom).

Seasonal Nodes:
Southeast: Madagascar ruby with a willow twig (represents blood/life energy).
Southwest: Pink crystal vase with lotus and gold sand (symbolizes love/harmony).
Northwest: Peach-blossom incense holder with rice-pattern silk (relates to career/resources).
Northeast: Lapis lazuli under a mountain stone with cotton "snow" (denotes stability/knowledge).

Central Axis: A Brass Wen Chang Pagoda pierces the Yin-Yang symbol and is inscribed with seasonal symbols:
* Spring: Dragon's palta powder
* Summer: Phoenix's feather
* Autumn: Pi Yao's gold- essence
* Winter: Turtle's shell imprint
