The Eight Mansions method finds your Kua number — and the four directions that sit well with you.
The Eight Mansions method finds your Kua number — and the four directions that sit well with you.
Your 八宅 (Eight Mansions) Kua number from your birth year and sex, and your four personal directions in the traditional order: prosperity, health, relationships, and stability.
Your birth year is first corrected to the solar year — it turns at Lichun in early February, not January 1st — then reduced by digit sum and run through the classic male/female Kua formula. Kua 1, 3, 4, 9 fall in the East group and 2, 6, 7, 8 in the West group; each group maps to a fixed direction table (八宅法).
We compute your personal Kua only — placing furniture or doors by compass needs an on-site luopan reading we don't do. Directions are something to lean toward, never a rule to obey.
The Kua formula also needs your sex, and the solar year it's based on turns at Lichun in early February — someone born in January can still belong to the previous solar year, which a simple age guess would miss.
No — this gives your personal Kua-based directions only. Placing doors or furniture by compass needs an on-site luopan reading, which this tool doesn't do.
