Feng Shui has existed for centuries. Since that time, various trends of Feng Shui got developed. Even though the basic concepts stay the same, each has a somewhat different approach to the topic:
Form School
* Centers predominantly with the curves of physical landscapes, their form, size and watercourse, as well as the connection between the actual physical formations as well as a dwelling.
* The 4 Directions of the compass are represented by the 4 celestial animals; the Green Dragon (East), the Red Phoenix (South), the White Tiger (West) and the Black Turtle (North).
Traditional Chinese Compass School
* Originated in China over 3000 years ago, with the first textual reference mentioned in 256BCE (Before Christian Era)
* Based on a methodical, formulaic approach to Feng Shui which is thousands of years old.
* Career sector with the Eight Trigrams is usually focused towards the magnetic North. .
The above methods are used by The Geomancer.
Black Hat Sect (BHS) Tantric Buddhist
An even more current school of thought, which is extensively practiced in the U.S.A. Created many years back by Thomas Lin Yun, it's a hybrid of Tibetan Buddhism, Taoism as well as Feng Shui made easier for Western preferences. It has a large cult following.
With this school of Feng Shui, instead of making use of the traditional magnetic compass (Lo Pan) to determine directions, each home or room is evaluated by the placement of its doorway. BHS Feng Shui says that the primary door to every room faces the career sector. This could result in adjacent areas or homes possessing apparently contradictory directions.
* Popularized in America ever since 1986
* Founded on the more spiritual approach to Feng Shui
* Pertains to the 8 Trigrams as being the 'Ba Gua'
* Career sector regarding the Eight Trigrams is always focused towards the main doorway.

Intuitive Feng Shui
There is much talk about 'intuitive feng shui.' Nevertheless, Feng Shui, which includes its own set of guidelines, can't be considered more instinctive as compared to either geography or physics. Individual practitioners might be a lot more perceptive as compared to others, but Feng Shui changes have to be based on the rules and not simply a 'sensation'.
How do I pick a practitioner that's ideal for me?
Go with your own instincts!
If what the practitioner suggests makes sense to you and you feel good about the changes he/she suggests, you have found a match up!
However, if putting a statue of Buddha close to your own front door, putting red Avery labels on your own walls, hanging red-tasseled bamboo flutes above your entrances and placing a 'green cylindrical object on your roof, to draw in nurturing wood energy' are a bit far from your personal designing style - dismiss your own practitioner. (Settlement does not have to be encased in red envelopes either!)
Besides, TRUE Feng Shui remedies utilize just the five components - Water, Earth, Fire, Metal and Wood, and not such things as mirrors, flutes, incense or even prayers!
