In Feng Shui, the Kua number (also known as Gua number) is used to determine your favorable and unfavorable directions based on your birth year and gender. However, Kua number 5 is a special case because it doesn't have its own fixed directions—instead, it adopts the directions of another Kua number depending on gender:
For males with Kua 5, it is treated as Kua 2 (which belongs to the West group).
For females with Kua 5, it is treated as Kua 8 (which belongs to the West group).
Best Sleeping Directions for Kua 5: Since Kua 5 borrows directions from Kua 2 (male) or Kua 8 (female), the best head positions are:
For Males (Kua 5 = Kua 2): Best Directions (Sheng Qi & Tian Yi):
West (Sheng Qi - Success & Prosperity)
Northwest (Tian Yi - Health & Stability)
Acceptable Direction:
Southwest (Yan Nian - Love & Relationships)
Avoid:
East (Disaster), Southeast (Six Killings), North (Five Ghosts), Northeast (Life Exhaustion)
For Females (Kua 5 = Kua 8): Best Directions (Sheng Qi & Tian Yi):
Southwest (Sheng Qi - Success & Prosperity)
West (Tian Yi - Health & Stability)
Acceptable Direction:
Northwest (Yan Nian - Love & Relationships)
Avoid:
East (Disaster), Southeast (Six Killings), North (Five Ghosts), Northeast (Life Exhaustion)
Best Head Position for Kua 5: Males (Kua 2): Sleep with head pointing West or Northwest.
Females (Kua 8): Sleep with head pointing Southwest or West.
Additional Tips: If your bedroom layout doesn’t allow these exact directions, try to face one of your favorable directions while sleeping (even if the bed itself isn’t perfectly aligned).
Avoid sleeping with your head pointing toward your worst directions (East, Southeast, North, or Northeast).
