Chapter III
The pakua can be looked at in different ways. In a common form the five elements are
located as follows: earth as the center, south on top, north below, east left, west right. If
the observers look to the south, following the main trajectory of the sun they see the chart
as shown below.Fig. 3.8 Five Directions - Pakua looking from the south.But if we move southward with the direction of the sun and look from that position to
heaven then north would be on top, south bottom, east left, west right. The way the pakua
is presented shows the point of view of the observer.Fig. 3.9 Five Directions - Pakua looking from the north.
