Kua Number plays an important role in Feng Shui, relating to the directional flow of energy and how it influences a person's success, health, and relationships. The Kua Number is derived from a simple mathematical formula using your birth year and gender. However, it can have profound implications for aligning the layout of your home or office.
People often ask, “How do I calculate Kua Number or how to find Kua Number in numerology?” Essentially, after summing the last two digits of your birth year, you either add or subtract constants depending on whether you are male or female, and also whether you were born before or after the year 2000. If your result is 5, it shifts to 2 (male) or 8 (female).
The reason behind these rules is anchored in ancient Feng Shui traditions, connecting individuals to one of the eight directions (with Kua #5 being reassigned). Knowing your auspicious vs. inauspicious directions can help you position your furniture, plan renovations, or even choose a suitable desk orientation to optimize positive energy.
Aligning your surroundings with your Kua Number is believed to channel beneficial Chi (energy) into your life. Whether it’s better sleep, harmonious relationships, or enhanced career opportunities, a balanced Feng Shui environment can make a subtle but notable difference.
Individuals typically fall under the East Group (Kua 1, 3, 4, 9) or the West Group (Kua 2, 6, 7, 8). Each group is associated with specific directions (e.g., North, South, East, West, Southeast, etc.). Position key areas of your home—like the main door, bedroom, or office desk—in these directions to maximize auspicious energy.
