Personal Direction
It's important to find out which directions are auspicious for you and this can be achieved by finding out your Kua number. Your Kua number determines your Best Directions and the Eight Aspirational locations always remain the same.
Determining your Kua Number and Best Directions
To determine your Best Directions (for sleep, study and eating) it is necessary to calculate your kua number using the following steps:
- If you are born between 1st Jan and 20th February you will then have to check the date on which the Chinese (Lunar) New Year fell in the year of your birth. If you were born before the Chinese New Year, you should subtract one from the Year of your birth.
- Take the last two digits of the year of your birth and add them together. For example, if you were born in 1974, then add 7 and 4 gives 11. If the result is greater than 9 add the digits together, e.g. 1+1=2.
- If you are a male, subtract this answer from 10, e.g. 10-2=8. If you are a female, add 5 to the number produced before e.g. 2+5=7.
- If the number is bigger than 9 then add the digits together again.
- If the answer is 5 and you are male, use Kua number 2. If you are female and the answer is 5, use kua number 8.
- The result is your kua number
