In Feng Shui, the octagon is considered the most auspicious shape. It has both yin and yang, and its well-balanced and stable shape is considered to be an auspicious item that improves your luck. In addition, the octagon is called "Hakke" and is said to have the power to repel bad energy, keep evil spirits away, and attract good fortune from all directions.
