The Kua number (sometimes also called Gua number or Lo Shu number) is a central concept in Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese art that deals with harmonising people with their environment. The Kua number helps determine favourable and unfavourable directions for a person, which can be useful when furnishing living spaces, workplaces or when constructing buildings.

Your Sleeping Direction

The recommended sleeping direction is applied as follows. Imagine an arrow that has its tip at your head and begins at your feet. This arrow then points in the ideal sleeping direction. 


Example:

Kua number 8 - Sleeping direction Southwest

Here, the top of the head faces Southwest.

Application of the Kua Number

In Feng Shui, it is recommended to use the favourable directions to determine, for example, the position of the bed, the desk or the orientation of the house. This is supposed to help maximise positive energy and bring harmony into the life of the person concerned.

Knowledge of the Kua number and the associated favourable and unfavourable directions can therefore be a useful tool in Feng Shui to promote personal wellbeing and success in various areas of life.

The Secrets of the Kua Number: Harmony and Prosperity through Feng Shui

The Kua number is a central concept in Feng Shui, an ancient Chinese teaching that aims to bring people into harmony with their environment. Your Kua number, also known as Gua number, plays an essential role in determining the most favourable cardinal directions for you, which are beneficial in various areas of life such as health, prosperity, love and personal growth.

What is the Kua Number?

The Kua number is calculated based on your date of birth and gender and ranges between 1 and 9. Each of these numbers is linked to specific cardinal directions that are either supportive or less favourable for you. These directions help you activate positive energies in your life.

The four important directions and their meaning

  • Sheng Chi (Success): This direction promotes success, prosperity and general wellbeing.

  • Tien Yi (Health): Stands for good health and vitality.

  • Nien Yen (Love): Supports harmonious relationships and love.

  • Fu Wei (Personal Growth): Promotes your personal development and spiritual unfolding.

Activate Your Power and Success Direction

To get the best out of the positive energies of your Kua number, you can specifically activate your power and success direction. You achieve this by staying in beneficial areas and using the right directional energy in your daily life:

  • Position yourself in the right room: Choose rooms that lie in the direction favourable for you.

  • Use directional energy at work: Position your desk so that you face your success direction when sitting at the desk.

  • When sleeping: Align the headboard of your bed in this direction.

  • Use a compass: Determine precisely which direction is best for you.


The effect: This energy harmonises with you and strengthens you, which can promote your performance, your success and ultimately also your prosperity.


Important tips for optimal use

So that you can use the energy optimally, observe the following tips:


  • Keep the room door in view: This gives you a feeling of security and control.

  • Sit with a solid wall behind you: This strengthens your back and gives you stability.

  • Ensure order and cleanliness: A tidy and beautifully designed environment supports the energy flow.

How you can activate your success direction

Use your success direction specifically in the following situations:

  • When sitting and working at the desk

  • During telephone calls and meetings

  • When writing important documents

  • When signing

  • During business meals

It is important to understand that this is only one level of Feng Shui. There are many other factors that must be considered to promote comprehensive harmony and prosperity in your life.
