Your Lucky Kua Number

Knowing your Kua number is one of the most important aspects in helping you identify your best colors and directions. The directions and colors are different for each person. There are four good locations and four bad locations for each person. Once you know your Kua number everything else falls into place. Your Kua number is part of the PaKua.

A PaKua is the compass instrument used since the ancient times to locate the placement of things for health, harmony, and wealth. It is an eight-sided octagon listing the eight trigrams from the I Ching and numbers from the magic square.

The I Ching is the most ancient book known to man. It is very much a part of everything that is in the universe. It is the key to understanding the world and everything in it. The I Ching has been translated into many languages and with the passing of time and the different languages some of the true meaning has been lost. Nevertheless it has survived. Later after you learn everything contained in this little book you can start learning more about the I Ching. The correct pronunciation is E Ching. I have written much about the I Ching in my book, "Change Your Life With Feng Shui."

The magic square is part of a mathematical formula developed to help us understand the universe and the forces that affect one's destiny. The magic square is said to have first appeared about 4,000 years ago. It was seen as dots on the back of a turtle as it emerged from the River Lo, and thus signifies the importance of turtle energy.

The magic square is a grid consisting of nine numbers arranged so that each side adds up to fifteen regardless of whether horizontal, vertical or diagonal rows are used. The way the numbers are arranged in this square holds the key to your best environments.

Locations are lucky or unlucky according to your special Kua number. There are actually nine numbers in the eight-sided octagon, but since number five is the center, men and women with that number are assigned a different number because of five does not have a direction. Because five is an earth element and so are number two and eight. The Eight Kua number is assigned to women who are fives and men are assigned the Kua number two who are fives. The chart in the back of the book shows you clearly which category Kua numbers you belong in.

This chart contains your Kua number. (If you were born early in the year, please note that you may have to adjust your year of birth to determine your Kua number, as your birth date may fall before Chinese New Year. Chinese New Year begins at different times each year, always after the first New Moon in Aquarius somewhere between January 21st and Feb. 19th).

As you get further into Feng Shui you will need to know which two groups you belong in, West or East groups. When you begin to decorate your home with your best colors and good directions you need this information. Listed below are the two groups with their different directions, EAST or WEST.
*This is the only East direction that belongs to the West group.

There are also five elements to consider: Metal, Wood, Fire Earth and Water. Each Kua number and direction also has an element. You will also find your element listed in the chart in the back of the book. It is a lot to remember at one time, but try to remember your Kua number and keep track as you read this book, because the information herein is specific to your Kua number, direction, group and element!
