For example, if your Kua number is 8, your lucky directions might include Northeast for protection and stability, West for longevity, Northwest for health and wealth and Southwest is for improvement and success.

East Group vs. West Group

There is also what we called as Kua Grouping.

East Group (Dong Xing 东四)

Kua numbers 1, 3, 4, and 9 are part of the West Group.

West Group (Xi Xing 西四)

Kua numbers 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are part of the West Group. Although it is called Xi Xing (西四) – West Four, Kua 5 is also included in the West Group.

How to Use Kua Grouping

  1. Sleeping direction: Face a favorable direction for health and prosperity.
  2. Desk or workspace: Sit facing a lucky direction to improve career and focus.
  3. Entrance or doorway: Position facing your Sheng Chi or Tian Yi direction.
  4. Avoid facing or sleeping toward unfavorable directions to reduce stress or obstacles.

In Personal KUA, always focus on Directions (compass points) — not Locations or Sectors.
