QUICK ANSWER

What is my lucky Feng Shui direction?

Your lucky directions come from your Kua Number, also called Ming Gua in Eight Mansions Feng Shui. Enter your birth year and sex to see your East or West Group, then compare the result with practical room needs such as safe paths, natural light, airflow and a stable bed or desk position.

METHOD

What is Kua Number or Ming Gua?

Kua Number is a personal number used in the Eight Mansions style of Feng Shui. It connects a person with one of the eight trigrams and a set of compass directions. In Chinese, this is often discussed as Ming Gua, or life gua.

QI KIND treats this as a cultural and spatial reference. A direction can be a useful prompt for bed placement, desk orientation or room planning, but it should remain below safety, function and the reality of the floor plan.

What do the lucky direction labels mean?

Traditional terms such as Sheng Qi or Tian Yi can sound absolute in translation. On QI KIND, they are shown as symbolic categories rather than guaranteed events.

HOW TO USE IT

Use lucky directions only after the room works.

01

Bed direction

Use your favorable direction as a reference for the headboard or the direction your crown points when sleeping. Do not sacrifice a solid wall, safe access or comfortable sleep for a symbolic direction.

02

Desk direction

Face a supportive direction when it also gives you good light, screen comfort and a workable view of the room. Ergonomics still come before compass preference.

03

Home entrance

An entrance direction can be discussed, but a full home reading also needs the floor plan, center point, true or magnetic north and the way people actually move through the space.

CALENDAR BOUNDARY

Born in January or early February?

This calculator uses the birth year you enter. If your birthday is near Lunar New Year or the Beginning of Spring, your Feng Shui or BaZi year boundary may need extra checking. For a personal room review, keep the date method visible rather than forcing one answer.

FAQ

Lucky direction questions, answered clearly.

What is a Feng Shui Lucky Direction Calculator?

A Feng Shui Lucky Direction Calculator uses a Kua Number, also called Ming Gua, to show directions traditionally described as more supportive or less supportive for a person.

How do I calculate my Feng Shui Kua Number?

Use your birth year and sex. This page uses the common English-market formula: reduce the last two digits of the year, then apply the male or female rule, with a separate 2000-and-after adjustment.

What is the difference between East Group and West Group?

Kua 1, 3, 4 and 9 belong to the East Group. Kua 2, 6, 7 and 8 belong to the West Group. Each group has a different set of favorable compass directions.

Can I use this for the best sleeping direction in Feng Shui?

You can use it as a symbolic reference for bed direction, especially the direction of the headboard or crown of the head, but comfort, safety, airflow, access and the actual room layout come first.

Does a lucky direction guarantee wealth, health or love?

No. QI KIND presents lucky directions as a cultural Feng Shui reference. They do not guarantee money, health, a relationship or any fixed outcome.

What if I was born near Chinese New Year?

If you were born in January or early February, check the calendar boundary. Popular zodiac pages may use Lunar New Year, while many BaZi and Feng Shui practitioners also consider the Beginning of Spring.

NEXT STEP

Ask Master Ming about your room layout.

A Kua result is only one layer. If your bed, desk, door, windows or floor plan conflict with the direction result, bring the real room into a focused Feng Shui conversation.
