Find Your Lucky Feng Shui Directions

Importance of Feng Shui Directions

According to Feng Shui masters, if you sleep, sit or work by facing your lucky directions, and make your front door face those auspicious directions, you would be blessed with good luck in attracting more money, achieving success in career, health condition, personal relationship or personal development.

To determine which Feng Shui directions are auspicious to you, you need to find out your Kua number (Gua Number) first which is calculated by your date of birth (mainly birth year) and gender. After knowing this, you could find out your best direction and apply these auspicious directions to your home or office to boost your luck in wealth, health, love and personal growth.

Relationship between the Eight Directions and Kua Numbers

As we all know, there are eight directions. In Feng Shui, they are divided into two groups: East Group and West Group in which each direction has a corresponding Kua number (Gua Number).
East Group: 1 (North), 3 (East), 4 (Southeast), 9 (South);
West Group: 2 (Southwest), 5 (male Southwest, female Northeast), 6 (Northwest), 7 (West), 8 (Northeast)

The people who belongs to the East group should avoid the directions in the West group and those in West group should avoid the directions in the East group. The directions in his same group are all lucky ones.

How to Calculate Feng Shui Kua Number?

Kua Number for Male:
1. Add the last two numbers of your year of birth. If it's 0, use 10 instead.
2. Then, subtract 1 from the number you get if you were born before the Chinese Lunar New Year. (Simply use the Chinese calendar to check if your birthday is before the New Year). If were born after the Chinese Lunar New Year, just skip this step and go on.
3. As the result needs a single digit, if you already got a single digit, go to the next step. If it contains two numbers, you need to add the numbers you get together.
4. If you were born before 2000, subtract the single digit you get from 10. If you were born after 2000, subtract the single digit from 9. If the result is a double digit, then add the digits to get a single digit number. Then you get your Kua number finally.

Kua Number for Female:
1. Add the last two numbers of your year of birth. If it's 0, use 10 instead.
2. Then, subtract 1 from the number you get if you were born before the Chinese Lunar New Year. (Simply use the Chinese calendar to check if your birthday is before the New Year). If were born after the Chinese Lunar New Year, just skip this step and go on.
3. As the result needs a single digit, if you already got a single digit, go to the next step. If not, you need to add the two digits together to get.
4. If you were born before 2000, add 5 to the single digit. If you were born after 2000, add 6 instead. If the result is a double digit, then add the digits to get a single digit number. Now, you get your Kua number finally.

Take a man born in 01/16/1982 for an example. The formula is:
● 8+2=10
● As the Chinese New Year of 1982 started from Jan. 25, 1982, his birthdate is before the New Year: 10-1 = 9
● 10-9=1
Result: 1 is the Kua number for the man.
