T
he Eight Mansions formula is one of the most powerful of the compass feng shui formulas. Its great merit lies in its easy practicality. Since it deals exclusively with personalized auspicious and inauspicious directions, anyone can use it to great benefit.The Eight Mansions formula shows you how to find your best and worst directions, and once you know these directions, all you need to do is to invest in a good and reliable compass. From then on, it is only matter of taking some trouble to always check your sleeping, sitting and facing directions while you sleep, sit, work, have a meeting or give a presentation. Making this small effort is all that is needed to get the most out of your auspicious directions.
Once you get into the habit of checking your directions, your life will never be the same again. Good feng shui will have changed it forever!
According to the Kua formula, everyone belongs to either the East or West group. These two groups are in conflict with each other, which means that West group people will suffer if they sit facing or are located in East group directions, and East group people are similarly affected if they face or sit in West group directions. So the first thing to find out from your Kua number is whether you belong to the East or West group.

Calculating your kua number:
1) Add the last two digits of your year of birth; if the result is
a double digit number, add the digits together so you have a
single digit number
.
2) If you are male, deduct this digit from 10 – the result is your
Kua number.
3) If you are female, add 5 to this digit – reduce to a single digit
again, if necessary – the result is your Kua number.
4) The formula is based on the Chinese
Lunar Calendar, so if you are born in
January or February, check to
see if you need to deduct
a year from your year of
birth based on the exact
date of the Lunar New
Year in your year of birth.
Get the Feng Shui Diary to
determine this.

A
male
born on 19th July 1985.
As the date of birth is after the start
of Lunar New Year, there is no need
to adjust it. Add the last two digits
of your year of birth:
8 + 5 = 13.
Reduce to one digit, 1 + 3 = 4.
Deduct this number from 10;
10 - 4 = 6,
So the Kua number is 6.
Note: for males born after 2000, instead
of deducting from 10, deduct from 9.
A
female
born 2nd January 1956.
As the date of birth is before the
Lunar New Year, the year of birth is
adjusted to 1955. Add the last two
digits of year of birth:
5 + 6 = 11.
Reduce to one digit, 1 + 1 = 2.
Add 5 to this number:
5 + 2 = 7.
So the Kua number is 7.
Note: for females born after 2000,
instead of adding 5, add 6.

Direction
East group directions – East, Southeast, North and South - are auspicious for East group
people, while West group directions are unlucky for them. East group people should ideally live in East group houses which are defined as “sitting East”. They also benefit from living in houses that face an East group direction. However, since the sitting direction is the exact opposite of the facing direction, East group people can maximize their luck by living in houses that have a sitting/facing axis direction of North/South, since both these directions belong to the East group.
West group directions – West, Southwest, Northwest and Northeast - are auspicious for
West group people, while East group directions are unlucky for them. West group people should ideally live in West group houses which are defined as “sitting West”. They also benefit from living in houses that face a West group direction. However, since the sitting direction is the exact opposite of the facing direction, West group people can maximize their luck by living in houses that have a sitting/facing axis direction of Northeast/Southwest, since both these directions belong to the West group. With your Kua number, you can determine your directions and elements from the chart above. Start by determining your Kua number and from this, look for your different good and bad luck directions paying careful attention to the fine tuning of good and bad luck. Also note your self-element and your direction group. The Kua number formula reveals many clues you can use to personalize your feng shui. This is what makes it such a valuable formula.
