Your Kua Number - Feng Shui Personal Energy and Lucky Directions

The Kua calculation originates from the Eight Mansions school of feng shui, tracing back at least a thousand years. Each person carries a fixed energetic signature determined at birth, belonging to one of eight trigrams from the I Ching system - ancient symbols built from combinations of broken and unbroken lines, each representing a natural phenomenon: water, earth, thunder, wind, heaven, lake, mountain and fire. Your Kua number ranges from 1 to 9, with 5 remapped to either 2 (men) or 8 (women) in the classical system.

East Group and West Group

East Life Group comprises Kua 1, 3, 4 and 9, corresponding to trigrams Kan, Zhen, Xun and Li. These individuals share four auspicious directions: North, South, East and Southeast. West Life Group includes Kua 2, 6, 7 and 8, corresponding to Kun, Qian, Dui and Gen, sharing auspicious directions of Northeast, Northwest, West and Southwest. The groups define compatibility between spaces and people; alignment produces natural support.

The Eight Directions and What They Mean

Each Kua maps all eight compass directions to one of eight "houses" - four beneficial and four to avoid.

Beneficial directions: Sheng Chi (strongest direction for wealth, career and upward momentum); Tian Yi (healing direction for health and trustworthy allies); Nian Yan (relationship direction supporting love, family harmony and lasting bonds); Fu Wei (stability direction for clarity, inner growth and calm decision-making).

Directions to avoid: Huo Hai (minor mishaps and low-level friction); Wu Gui (five ghosts: betrayal, deception and hidden opposition); Liu Sha (six killings: legal trouble, resource drain, lost opportunity); Jue Ming (total loss: most adverse direction, linked to serious health and reputation setbacks).

How to Use Your Kua Number

The Kua system requires no remodeling; small adjustments produce real results.

Sleep direction - the direction your head points while sleeping is the most influential single factor; aim for Sheng Chi or Tian Yi direction first. Work orientation - face your Sheng Chi direction at your desk for ambitious projects, or Fu Wei direction for sustained focus and study. Seating in meetings - sit with your back to a wall facing one of your four auspicious directions. Main door - if your front door faces your Sheng Chi direction, traditional feng shui considers this one of the most fortuitous configurations possible.

You cannot control every direction; the approach is optimizing what you can, starting with sleep.

How It Works

1. Enter your birth year and sex at birth - optionally add month and day for the early-February solar boundary. 2. Receive your Gua number, ruling trigram, and East-or-West group. 3. Orient your bed, desk, and front door toward your four lucky directions.
