What is my Feng Shui Kua or trigram? What does that mean for me?

The Kua number has to do with your birth date, and indicates the natal star at the time of birth (example, 3 for Zhen). In Chinese geomancy (classic Feng Shui, also known as compass school), the Kua number starts flying stars in motion (a numeric formula that floats numbers), and is used to determine your comfort level within a structure, your compatibility with others, impacts during a period of time, etc.

A trigram is based on yin/yang (female/male) influences. These patterns of energy and their transformation are referenced in the Yijing, or Book of Changes. Eight trigrams are the fundamental building blocks for 64 hexagrams. Each express patterns of movement and change. Think of trigrams as similar to horoscope signs; as simple, but as complex.

The Kua and trigram can identify personality traits; illness you may be prone to; elements and colors to have around you; healthy relationships to seek; good sleeping directions; directions (or areas) to avoid; and, very helpful information.

It's important to note that the following information is generalized for the public. It does not take into account your personalized analysis (based on the moment of birth) that involves specific yin/yang energies; where you are in your life cycle, balance/imbalance of individual elements; etc.



Feng Shui Kua Number - What is a Kua Number?

Find out your feng shui Kua number and use it for various feng shui solutions

Different people have different energy needs. According to one of the feng shui schools called Flying Stars, there are two feng shui "energy" groups: East and West group. You will be either one or the other according to your feng shui Kua number.

•The East Group Kua numbers are 1, 3, 4 and 9.

•The West Group Kua numbers are 2, 6, 7 and 8.

You can calculate your Kua number and respectively your feng shui group, which will give you a better understanding of the best feng shui directions for the main door, directions to face while working, sleeping, etc.
For example, my Kua number is 1, which makes me an East feng shui group person and the best facing directions for me are Southeast, East, South and North. Lucky for me, my closest people are of the East feng shui group, too, so it is easy to adjust my environment to work the best way.

Now, what do you do if you and your loved one(s) are in different groups, is there a common ground to be found? Of course there is. What you have to focus on is the balance of you and your loved ones drawing on the best feng shui energy throughout the day.

However, let me emphasize that applying feng shui flying star school should become more of a focus once you are sure you have dealt with the clutter in your space and have really fallen in love with your home, developing a supportive and nourishing relationship.

If you know there are still many feng shui issues to be dealt with in your home, like a bedroom that you can't stand looking at, a front door that is blocked, etc; do deal with these feng shui priorities first.

Another piece of advice? Do not put too much emphasis on it, and I mean neither disregard the feng shui Kua number info nor make your life depend on it. Find a nice, intelligent and comfortable balance.
It is energy, and it is in constant motion, as you know. Just make the best of it at all times.
