Use Feng Shui Kua Numbers for Personal Success

By Anezka Drazil, Feng Shui consultant

Many feng shui practitioners use what is called "8 mansions feng shui" or "directions feng shui." These help you determine your lucky and unlucky directions based on your kua number.

How to Figure Your Kua Number

First, add the last two digits of your year of birth. If this results in a double-digit number, add again until you get a single-digit number.

Example:

Year born: 1950 Add: 5 + 0 = 5

Year born: 1985 Add: 8 + 5 = 13, 1+3 = 4

Next, if you are a man, deduct this number from 10, the result is your kau number.

If you are a woman, add 5 to this number, and reduce it to a single digit again.

Please note that if you were born early in the year (January of February), you will need to consult a Chinese lunar calendar, which is what the formula is based on, to see if you need to subract a year from your birth.

So Now You Have Your Number, What Does it Mean?

Your personalized number will tell you whether you are an East or a West person.

East people have the following numbers: 1, 3, 4 and 9

West people have either 2, 5, 6, 7 or 8

Lucky Directions East

If you are an East person, here are your lucky directions. It's best if you live in an east group house (one of these lucky directions), one that either has its back yard in an east direction or its front door in an east group direction: East, Southeast, North, South

Lucky Directions West

If you are a West group person, it's best if you live in a west group house (one of these lucky directions), one that either has its back yard in a lucky west direction or its front door in a lucky west group direction: West, Southwest, Northwest, Northeast

Unlucky Directions

If it's not listed as a lucky direction, then consider it UNLUCKY for you. Try to avoid having your bedroom in one of your unlucky directions, and avoid sleeping with your head pointing to that direction. It's also best to avoid facing those directions whenever possible, particularly for important business meetings or when balancing your checkbook, paying bills, facing that direction at work, etc.
