Your Best Compass Directions


Your four best (and worst) 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.  A positive direction can be utilized by sleeping with the crown of your head pointed towards that direction.

A note for those born in late January or Early February: 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 late January to early 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.
