Finding Your Life Numbers, FengShui Auspicious Direction

Which Way to Go?

One of the most commonly asked question is, “What is my best direction?’ followed by “I want to buy an apartment. Which direction is best for me?”

We all want a good direction because we believe that a good direction equates to good feng shui and good feng shui equates to success which spells more money, good health and more laughter!

When it comes to directions, offhand, in charting and divination, there are the three styles (Qi Men, Tai Yi and Liu Ren), plum blossom and purple star not to mention the I Ching itself. In feng shui, we have the eight mansions method, the life or kua numbers and the Luo Shu numbers for the year, month, day and hour.

Before we get lost, let’s bite into something that is easy to chew. That would be our life number or kua number. This number is based on the year we are born. Just scroll the chart right below this for the year you were born for your kua number.

The numbers actually represent the trigrams. For most purposes, the elemental quality of the number is used. They are like this:

1   = water

2,8 = earth

3, 4 =wood

6,7 = metal

9  = fire

There are best houses to match each life number:

1 best to live in houses facing south, east, southeast

2, 8 best to live in houses facing southwest, northeast, north

3,4 best to live in houses facing west, northwest, south

6,7 best to live in houses facing east, southeast, southwest, northeast

9 best to live in houses facing north, west, northwest

But I must first clarify. What is written so far is for information and at best is a very coarse method of deciding on a direction.
