How to determine your Auspicious Areas in your Home or your Office

This article was published by Homes in Harmony in PuneScoop.

In Feng Shui every person has 4 auspicious directions, called Success-, Health-, Romance- and Personal Development Direction. There are also 4 which are inauspicious and should be avoided. To find out about your best areas in your home or office you have to calculate your KUA number which is based on your date of birth. According to your personal KUA number, you can determine your 4 positive directions and 4 negative directions.

We will refer to the KUA number many times in the following Feng Shui articles. It is always good to know your number and your favourable directions, because sleeping, sitting or working in any of these specific locations will generally bring you luck and protect you from misfortune.

The Chinese lunar calendar differs from ours and starts with the Chinese New Year, which falls every year on a different date between 1st of Jan and the 20th of Feb. If you are born before Chinese New Year you have to calculate the KUA number from the year before, then refer to the Chinese Lunar Calendar at the end of the article to make sure that you are using the correct Chinese year of birth.

If your birthday lies after the 20th of February, then just go on with your calculation described below.

Now you can calculate your KUA number with this easy to follow step-by-step guide:

For Women:

- Determine your Chinese year of birth

- Add the last two digits of your year of birth to reduce to one digit

- Add 5 to that number

- and this outcome is your personal KUA Number

- 1931 => 3 + 1 = 4 ;   4 + 5 = 9

- A woman born in 1931 has KUA Number 9

-

For Men:

- Determine your Chinese year of birth

- Add the last two digits of your year of birth to reduce to one digit

- Deduct from 10

- and this result is your personal KUA Number

- 1974 => 7 + 4 = 11 ;   1+1 = 2 ;   10 – 2 =  8

- A man born in 1974 has KUA Number 8

According to your KUA number you can find out now your Auspicious Directions:

Note: number 5 is divided in m = male and f = female

Try as far as it is possible to sit facing your most Auspicious Direction: sit on your writing table facing your Success direction. Or sleep with your head towards that particular direction: sleep towards your Health direction, if you want to gain good health or towards your Romance direction, if you are looking for a partner or want to maintain a good marriage.

In case this is absolutely not possible, then at least try to apply one of your other three good directions. Avoid your Inauspicious Directions!

Note: number 5 is divided in m = male and f = female

The names of the Inauspicious Direction sound a bit unusual to our ears; these are the literally translations of the Chinese names. What is important to remember is that they increase in their wickedness from Mild Unluck to Total Loss.

In the next Feng Shui articles we will give more advices how to apply these Auspicious Directions into your daily (home and office) life to set up your environment for good luck, health and success.

Lot’s of good luck wishes you Karina S.V.
