Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Kua Number? expand_more
A Kua Number is a personal Feng Shui number derived from your birth year and gender. It determines your four auspicious and four inauspicious compass directions, helping you align your living and working spaces for better energy flow.
Why does Kua 5 differ by gender? expand_more
In classical Feng Shui, Kua 5 does not exist as a standalone trigram. Males with Kua 5 use the directions of Kua 2 (Kun), while females use Kua 8 (Ken). This transformation ensures every person has a complete set of eight directions.
What if I was born on the cusp (January or February)? expand_more
The Chinese solar year typically starts around February 3–5 (Lichun). If you were born before this date, use the previous year to calculate your Kua Number. For example, someone born on January 20, 1990 should use 1989.
Can couples have different Kua numbers? expand_more
Yes, it's very common for partners to have different Kua numbers. In this case, prioritize each person's auspicious directions for their individual spaces (home office, side of the bed) while finding compromises for shared areas like the living room.
