Your best directions are based on your Kua number
which is determined by your year of birth and your gender.
Look up your year of birth in the calendar dates below to find your
Kua number. Then check your Kua number for your best directions in the Four Best Directions
chart at the bottom of the calendar dates.
Solar Year versus Lunar Year
Some feng shui masters use the Chinese Lunar Calendar and some use the
Chinese Solar Calendar to determine Kua numbers. The Lunar Calendar
follows the cycles of the moon and the Solar Calendar follows the cycles
of the sun. The difference between the two calendars leaves a “cusp” area
for a small percentage of the population born from mid January to mid
February. If you were born in January or February, compare the
two calendars to see if they give you different Kua numbers. If
they do give you different Kua numbers and you are in the “cusp” area,
you can try to determine your best directions by checking the directions
in which you have been sleeping over the years and comparing them to the
positive and negative things that have happened in your life. If you slept
one way and things went well and slept another way and things were not so
good, you can use this information to determine what is best for you. The Chinese solar year begins on February
4th or 5th each year at the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and the
Spring Equinox. A lunar month lasts 29.5 days and this only
adds up to 354 days a year so an extra month is added every 3 solar years
to make up the 11 days missing each year of the Lunar Calendar.
