How to calculate personal Gua number for men, women and children according to Feng Shui? Favorable and unfavorable directions according to Gua number

The Gua number indicates a person’s personal energy. It can be said that Gua number- this is your personal Feng Shui, which allows you to determine individual favorable and unfavorable directions. What does this mean?

Different directions, depending on where they are directed, have different energy characteristics. For some, a certain direction can be beneficial, bring good luck in business, promote health and success. But it may not suit another person at all. And to find out, you need calculate Gua number.

How to calculate Gua number

RCalculating the Gua number is simple and straightforward, however, some care and accuracy in execution is required. It is calculated using the following formulas:

For a man born before 2000, you need to calculate the Gua number like this - first add the last two digits of the year of birth. If you end up with a two-digit number, add them up again until you are left with one number. Then the result obtained subtract from 10.

For a woman, add the last two digits of her year of birth in the same way, bring the result to one and add number 5.

For people born in 2000 and later, the calculation formula will be slightly different. So, for a girl you need to add to the final result not 5, but 6. And for a boy, the result must be subtracted from 9 . If he was born in 2009, then it is clear that the Gua number cannot be equal to zero. And then it equals 9.

Important points

Gua Number 5 does not exist! When the final total is 5, then for a woman the Gua number is 8 , and for a man - 2 .

Keep in mind that the year according to the Chinese solar calendar does not begin on January 1, as is generally accepted, but at the beginning of February. Therefore, if you were born between January 1 and February 4-5, then you need to carry out calculations as if you were born in the previous year.

To simplify the task, use a special calculator on the website, where you can not only determine the Gua number, but also find out your personality element. What is the element of personality, or

Calculation of Gua number. Examples

Add the last two digits of the year: 5 + 1 = 6
Add 5 + 6 = 11
Add 1 + 1 = 2
So, her Gua number is 2

New Year according to the Chinese calendar in 2010 begins on February 4, so when calculating, we assume that the boy was born in 2009. That is, the Gua number is 9.

Depending on Gua, people are divided into eastern or western groups and have their own lucky directions. These directions point to the eight cardinal directions. Four of them will be favorable, and the other four will not be.

If, after calculating the Gua number, you get one of these results - 1, 3, 4, 9 , then you belong to the eastern group, and the cardinal directions are east, southeast, north, south will be good for you . If you received - 2, 6, 7 or 8, then you belong to the Western group and the best aspects for you are west, northwest, southwest, northeast.

Compatibility of people by Gua number

There are some lucky number combinations in Feng Shui. To some extent, this affects the marriage between a man and a woman. If they have Gua numbers 1 and 6, then their marriage will bring wealth. Spouses with numbers 2 and 7 have every chance of a very happy life together and harmonious relationships until old age. To husband and wife who have Gua 3 and 8 it will be very interesting together, they will have such a passionate relationship that many can only envy! And spouses with numbers 4 and 9 will go through life hand in hand, together achieving great fame and real recognition.

There is another approach to choosing a partner. It makes sense for people from the eastern group to create a family with people from their group, and for representatives of the western group - with their own. According to this principle, it is much easier to achieve an overall harmonious relationship, since the good directions of the husband and wife will coincide.

However, the Gua number does not indicate a person's character traits, so in Feng Shui there is no such thing as compatibility of people according to the Gua number in matters of love, marriage or business relationships! For this, the Bazi card (pillars of fate) is already used, which is compiled according to the full date of birth.

Favorable Feng Shui directions for Gua numbers

Each of them has its own type of energy.

Sheng Qi - direction Success- the most favorable direction according to Feng Shui with the best type of energy. It ensures success in absolutely any endeavor, brings money, fame, and a high position in society. The direction is ideal to turn the desktop in this direction. If the front door to the apartment and the worker “looks” at it, then it will be just wonderful!
Tien-I - direction Health. If the entrance door to the bedroom and the head of the bed are directed in this direction, or when eating food, you will face it, then this will have the most beneficial effect on your health and increase vitality.
Yan-Nian - direction Love helps create harmonious relationships in the family for a long life together. For this purpose, installing the bed with the headboard in the Yan-Nian direction will be especially useful. If you are single and dream of a life partner, then this direction is the best for you.
Fu Wei - direction Stability Perfect for developing internally, it gives clarity of thinking. This promotes professional development and, as a result, career growth. It would be good to direct your workplace in this direction.

*Eastern group*
1	Southeast	East	South	North

Unfavorable directions

Using them leads to various problems.

Ho-Hi - Obstacles- unpleasant, but of the bad ones it is the weakest. Means "minor failures" and minor problems. It's not that bad, but it's best to avoid it if possible.
Liu-Sha - Six Assassins. If your desk or bed is facing in this direction, then serious conflicts may arise in the family and at work, and legal problems may suddenly arise in business.
Wu Gui - Five Ghosts- this direction threatens with accidents and loss of money. Fires and thefts are possible. If you sleep with your head in this direction, you can become seriously ill or depressed.
Jue-Ming - Complete collapse. This is the most unfortunate and harmful place. Avoid him at all costs, do not sit facing him during work or important meetings. The head of the bed should not be in this part of the house, otherwise you will have bad dreams and you simply will not be able to get enough sleep. This is also an undesirable place for the front door, since every time you leave the apartment, you attract negative energy along with failures.

How to apply favorable and unfavorable directions for Gua

Having calculated the Gua number and determined your favorable directions according to Feng Shui, you need to arm yourself with a magnetic compass and determine where you have which cardinal directions.

In Feng Shui, all people, depending on their personal trigram (Gua number), are divided into two groups - Western and Eastern.

Directions that are favorable for representatives of one group are not suitable for representatives of the second.

Description of favorable and unfavorable directions for people of the Eastern and Western groups.

The table below indicates which directions are favorable for people of the eastern and western groups.

The main characteristics of personality types depending on the Gua number can be viewed

Most people who begin to study Feng Shui, at the first stage of their acquaintance with this wonderful science, encounter the concept and learn that they do not exist on their own, but belong to a huge group Western or Eastern. No, this does not mean that humanity is divided into people with Eastern flavor and Western pragmatism. This is about something else. It is believed that depending on which group a person belongs to, he receives at his disposal four favorable directions according to the Gua number and four unfavorable directions.

But first things first.

Calculated by year of birth. But not just by the number that appears in your passport. We are talking about Chinese solar calendar , in which the year begins in February on February 3, 4, or 5. Therefore, people born from January 1 to February 4 belong to the previous year.
For example. The person was born on January 21, 1966. To calculate the Gua number, he must use the figure 1965 (previous year).

Universal Formula for Gua Number.

If the resulting number consists of two digits, then you need to add these digits together until one remains.
If the result is the number 5, then we replace it for men with the number 2, and for women with 8. Because the Gua number 5 does not exist. But there is the number of the year of birth 5, but this is another topic.

Depending on the Gua number, humanity is divided into two groups:

Western: these are people with numbers Gua 2, 6, 7 and 8
Eastern- numbers Gua 1, 3, 4, and 9 .

For each group there are four favorable directions according to Gua number and four unfavorable directions.

	Western group				Eastern group
	2	6	7	8	1	3	4	9
Shen Qi	NE	Z	NW	SW	SE	YU	WITH	IN
Tian Yi	Z	NE	SW	NW	IN	WITH	YU	SE
Yan Nian	NW	SW	NE	Z	YU	SE	IN	WITH
Fu Wei	SW	NW	Z	NE	WITH	IN	SE	YU
Ho Hai	IN	SE	WITH	YU	Z	SW	NW	NE
Wu Gui	SE	IN	YU	WITH	NE	NW	SW	Z
Liu Sha	YU	WITH	SE	IN	NW	NE	Z	SW
Jue Ming	WITH	YU	IN	SE	SW	Z	NE	NW

Favorable directions.

Shen Qi. Success, luck. Gives inspiration, abundance of strength, prosperity (finance, career). Brings good luck.

Tian I. Heavenly doctor. Gives health, brings friends.

Yan Nian. Relationships, love. Creating a family. Birth of children. Improved relationships. Romantic direction.

Fu Wei. Stability. Personal capabilities and abilities. Helps in spiritual development, training, preparation for exams. Develops spirituality and gives clarity of thinking.

Unfavorable directions.

Ho Hai. Small problems, annoying troubles. Minor financial problems.

Wu Gui. Delays in business, losses, waste of time. Scandals in the family.

Liu Sha. Quarreling. Relationship problems, legal troubles.

Jue Ming. Collapse. Believed to bring bad luck on a large scale.

Since husband and wife often have different groups and their favorable directions do not coincide, the Internet is simply filled with questions: what to do, how to set up the bed, whether we should sleep like a valet, and the like.

In fact, one should not attach so much importance to Gua number directions. In the list of priorities of various Feng Shui methods, this section is in last place. Because the influence of directions is quite weak. There are much more powerful influences of other energies: Flying Stars, individual sectors of the Noble Man and others. A lot depends on the period of luck, which is calculated according to the Ba Zi map.

The rule is this. If it is possible to place all family members in favorable directions, that’s good. If not, you need to use other Feng Shui methods and ignore the directions according to the Gua number. Believe me, if you sleep in a room with favorable energies, you can use the sector of your Noble Person (a powerful thing), take into account the energies of the coming year, then even if the head of the bed is located in the most unfavorable direction according to the Gua number, nothing bad will happen.

In the practice of Feng Shui, the Gua number is a pointer to the personal energy of each of us; it is personal Feng Shui in the inner world. It helps to predetermine personal favorable directions of development and those that are best avoided. What all this can mean - we will consider this issue further in more detail.

First of all, it is worth understanding that the direction in development depends on where it is going, in which direction its energy flows and characteristics are directed. For some, this or that chosen direction will bring good luck, while for others it will create a lot of barriers and obstacles on the path of development. It is the Gua number that will help you correctly determine your own direction.

Calculation of individual Gua number.

The process of calculating the personal Gua number is simple and understandable even to a beginner in the science of Feng Shui - the main criteria here are simple attentiveness and accuracy in the calculations carried out. In the process itself, the calculation is carried out according to the following principles and formulas:

For representatives of the stronger half of humanity who were born before the year 2000, the number itself must be calculated according to the following scheme - the last digits of the year of their birth are adjusted together. If the number is two-digit, add to a single-digit figure and subtract this figure from 10.
For women, it is also worth adding the last two digits of the year of her birth, and adding 5 to the resulting single-digit figure.
For those born after 2,000, the calculation formula is slightly different, when not 5, but 6 are added to the final result for girls, but for boys, they are subtracted not from 10, but from 9. N, when the child was born in 2009 - accordingly, the Gua number cannot be absolute zero and in this case it simply automatically becomes 9.

What should you consider?

First of all, it is worth remembering that the number 5 as such does not exist in Gua, and even if the final number is equal to this figure, then for men it is automatically changed to 8, but for women it is already 2.
Also in the calculations it is worth taking into account the fact that the New Year according to Chinese time starts not from the 1st day of January, but from the beginning of February. Therefore, if you were born before February 4-5, but after January 1, this is considered to be a birth in the previous year.

As an example of calculation for boys, we take the date of birth as the 15th day of January 2010. Due to the fact that according to the Chinese calendar, the new year starts on February 4, the date of birth of this child will be January 15, 2009 and his final Gua number will be 9.

Groups of people and Gua numbers.

Taking into account the resulting addition of the date of birth of the Gua number, people are conventionally divided into groups, eastern and western. Each of them has its own direction in development, pointing to the 8 directions of our world, when 4 of them will be favorable for a person, but the other four will be completely unfavorable.

In particular, if during the calculation process you end up with results such as 1 and 3, 4 or 9, then the person can be classified as belonging to the eastern group and the corresponding cardinal direction - east and south-east, north and south. If they ultimately receive numbers such as 2, 6, 8 or 7, these people belong to the Western type of group.

The described groups are a direct opposite and it lies in the fact that the same directions in your own home or in an office space will be favorable in different ways. If you accurately calculated the Gua number, you have accurately determined for yourself not only the direction of movement, but also the entire path of life and predestination, good or not.

The most optimal houses for each group.

Each group has its own rules for choosing a residential building or office space, which will be located in a direction favorable to them, will be directed towards a certain, rear or front side.

Regarding the latter, it is worth making a reservation - such a concept as the front part of a house does not always mean its facade. It is under the front part of the house that the teachings of Feng Shui mean the most active in terms of noise and movement of energy flows, the spacious and sunny side. Accordingly, the back side of the house will be opposite to this active part of it.

For everyone who is assigned to the eastern group according to the Gua number, it is optimal for them to make a choice in favor of this direction of the front and back parts:

North, south are the elements of fire.
South - north - such a living space or office will be subject to the powerful element of water.
If this combination of cardinal directions is west - east, then the aura of the house and its energy flows and the entire aura will be subordinated to the element of wood.
A combination of north-west directions or a south-east location of the house - in this case, most rooms will be dominated by the natural elements, which have absorbed all the power of the mighty Tree.

If a person, in accordance with the Gua number, is assigned to another group and is a prominent representative of the Western group, in accordance with their vitality and positive energy and positive development, it is worth choosing for subsequent living, work, growth and development of a room with such front and back directions parts:

The north-eastern sector, as well as the south-western - this combination of the front and back of the house will predetermine its subordination to the elements of the Earth.
Southeast and, accordingly, northwest - such living quarters and work offices are initially subject to the strong and unbending element of Metal.
If it is the southwest and northeast, the predominant element will be the Earth.
East and West, as the setting directions in the house, will predetermine the predominance of the Metal elements in the room.

How to distribute square meters in the house?

As you know, the teaching of Feng Shui divides the premises of an apartment or work office into 8 sectors, which are respectively divided into 4 favorable and the same number of unfavorable ones.

If you apply each of the resulting additions of the date of birth of Gua numbers to the location in a room, residential or office, then the picture itself will be presented on the map in the following interpretation:

To choose a bedroom, the optimal place will be the south, but the worst places in the house are the northeast and southwest directions. Regarding the choice of a personal office, it is optimal to choose a room in the northern part of the house or in the southeast.
The best choice for a bedroom is on the north-west side, but the most unfavorable place for it is considered to be the south-east. For work and negotiations, solving any business issues, it is optimal to choose the southwestern part of the house or the northeast of the house. At the same time, it is better not to place an office on the north and east sides.
If one of the children or adults in the house is unreasonably ill or unwell for unknown reasons, it is optimal to allocate a room for him in the western part of the room. At the same time, you should not allocate a room for a weakened patient in the northern and southern parts. In the southwestern part of the house it is optimal to arrange a room for a child, but for the toilet - the best choice, which will protect you from all troubles and carry them into the sewer, will be the south.

For everyone who ended up with the number 3, they should remember that it is optimal to arrange the office space in the east and southern part. But for a child, it is optimal to choose the eastern sector of a residential building, and as for the zone that will help improve health, it is located in the sector of the northern part of the house. In this regard, it is best to place the toilet in the north-eastern part of the house.
For everyone who ends up with a 4 as a result of their calculations, it is optimal to choose the eastern side of a residential building for arranging a bedroom, while avoiding the southwest or northeast sector. To arrange a room, it is optimal to choose a sector facing the south-eastern side of a residential building and not equip it in any way to the south-west.
When more than one member of the family, for no apparent reason, needs a significant improvement in health - in addition to the medicinal course of treatment, allocate him a room in the southern part of the house. For your own office, it is optimal to choose a room and place it in the south-eastern or northern part of the living space. It is prohibited to place an office in the northwestern or northeastern part of a residential building. But the toilet - place it in the western part of the house.

Regarding the number 5 in the table of Gua numbers, every favorable and unfavorable correlation of events occurs for both men and women. The men's bedroom should be located in the northeastern sector of the house, but for women, their bedrooms should be located in the northern sector of the house. Unfavorable areas for a man's and woman's bedroom are the south-eastern part and the north of the living space.
Regarding the arrangement of the bedroom, for your beloved son it should be located in the southwestern part of the house, but for your daughter, arrange it in the northeastern part of the living space. For equipping a personal office for men, the optimal zone will be the southwest, and for women - the northeastern part of the residential building. Regarding the toilet, it is optimal for women with the number 5 to be placed in the eastern part of the room, if the owner of the house is a man - in the southern sector of the house.

Anyone who has a Gua number of 6 in the final calculation should remember that for such a child it is optimal to arrange a bedroom in the north-western part of the house, and for an adult the optimal sector is precisely the south-western part of the house. It is very unfavorable if people place bedrooms in the eastern and southern parts of a residential building. The optimal place of health for all sick people with the number 6 is considered to be the northeast zone, and it is there that you can arrange a room for a pensioner and sick people. But the toilet is exclusively in the northern sector of the house.
For all 7 who are experiencing significant problems with their own health, it is optimal to choose a place in the house in the southwestern part of it. When you plan to work at home, equip your own office exclusively in the western part of the house or in the northwestern zone. But you won’t have to count on success if you organize a work area in the northern part of the house.
All owners of the number 7 should equip their own bedroom in the north-eastern part of the room, but in the southern and eastern parts it is undesirable. Regarding the arrangement of a children's room, it is best to equip it in the western part of the house, and install the toilet exclusively in the southeastern sector of the house.

Anyone who, as a result of their calculations, came up with the number 8 should equip a work cabin in the southwestern part of the house or its northeastern sector. It is optimal to arrange a children's room in the northeastern sector of the house, a bedroom - exclusively in its western part and not in the northern sector or southeast. For a frequently ill family member, personal space should be arranged in the northwestern part of the house, but it is optimal to arrange it in the eastern sector.
when, as a result of calculations, your number is 9, it is optimal to equip your own office in the eastern zone or the northern part of the sector. But you should never sleep in the western sector or organize your own work area or office in the northeastern sector of the house. For the children's room of everyone who ended up with the number 9, this is the northeastern sector of the house, but if their health worsens, for all those who are sick, it is optimal to arrange the room in the northwestern sector. The toilet for all 9 is exclusively in the eastern sector of a residential building or office space.

Compatibility of Gua people

In the science of Feng Shui itself, there are certain, very successful combinations and combinations of numbers, and this can largely determine whether the marriage itself will be successful or not. If a couple of a man and a woman has a combination of the numbers one and six, such a union predicts wealth in the future. When there is a combination of two and seven in marriage, such a tandem predicts a successful and happy family life, harmony until old age.

When a husband and wife are combined in a marriage, the result of which is the Gua number of 3 and 8. Such a couple will certainly not be bored together, and their marriage will be marked by incredible passion, a relationship that will be the envy of many. The marital tandem of 4 and 9 is a strong and happy union when a husband and wife go through life hand in hand, achieving a lot through their common efforts.

In the practice of Feng Shui itself, there is a practice of a different approach to choosing your partner. If you belong to the eastern group, it is best to choose a mate from your social group, and everyone who is part of the eastern group from theirs, avoiding unnecessary mixing. This is exactly how the science of fenshky prescribes the opportunity to achieve the highest spiritual and physical harmony in a union - in a couple, the husband and wife will have the same interests and views, there will be no litter or disagreements, and the risk of divorce is minimized.

Directions favorable for numbers.

Each of the areas has its own positive characteristics and these are the ones that should be taken into account in your daily activities.

The direction of Sheng Qi is always success and the most favorable of all directions of Feng Shui practice, the best type of energy flows. Such flows will help ensure the successful completion of affairs in love and financial endeavors, attract money and good luck, and a high position in society to your home. It will be the ideal direction to turn your own workplace for the better, and if your front door or workplace faces this direction, you are lucky.
The direction of enormous health is Tien-Yi. when the head of your bed, standing in the bedroom or the entrance door to the house faces in this direction, or when bringing food to the table you face in this direction - your health and vitality will not leave your home.
The direction of sexual harmony and love - this is Yan-Nian - ensures harmony in the family, in the relationship between spouses and children. In order to achieve harmony within the family, to find your soul mate - just place your own forging or the children’s sleeping places in the direction of the Yan-Nian current.
In the house, the direction of Fu Wei is responsible for stability - it adds clarity of mind and develops internal logical thinking. As a result, this significantly increases the ability to move up the career ladder and receive a salary increase. It is enough to point your own desktop in this direction and you will definitely be lucky.

Unfavorable directions in Feng Shui.

There are also such in the practice of Feng Shui philosophy, and Eastern philosophers include the following among them:

Ho-Hai is a flow of energy that creates all sorts of obstacles in your path. But it’s worth reassuring - from the entire list it is the weakest and does not bring big troubles to a person.
Liu-Sha or translated from the original language - 6 killers. If you place a sleeping bed or a desk in this sector, you will face troubles in love relationships and in business.
Wu-Gui or as they call it in the homeland of 5 ghosts. It is precisely this that promises accidents, unexpected loss of money, thefts and fires, and depression.
Complete collapse, or in the original language - Jue-Ming is the most disastrous of all places, such a swamp swamp, which will reject you from luck and profit. Your bed should not face this direction, and the front door should not face this direction.

The Gua number is the answer to many questions. Why is a person not given luck in certain areas of life? Why doesn't sleep bring complete rest? What is the reason for your personal life not getting better? All this is within the scope of the “competence” of the Gua number, which is not without reason called the number of fate. It is this that allows you to determine your compatibility with your own home and workplace. And, if you calculate the Gua number and apply it correctly, you can quickly and effectively adjust the overall “picture” of the house in accordance with personal positive and bad directions and places in your personal home or office.

Calculating the Gua number

The day and month of birth are needed in this case in order to clarify whether the moment of birth falls in the period after the beginning of the current lunar year or before it. For example:

The young man was born on January 16, 1982. The lunar year in 1982 lasted from January 25th. 1982 to 12 Feb. 1983. That is, to calculate the Gua number, one should actually take 1981.

The woman was born on May 30, 1977. This date clearly falls after the beginning of the current lunar year, so there is no need to clarify it.

For the first part of the calculation, the last 2 digits of the year are needed. They are added, then, if the sum turns out to be a two-digit number, they are added again and so on until the sum gives a single-digit number (from 1 to 9).

Now the gender of the person “enters” into the calculations. So:

When the Gua number is calculated for a man, the previously obtained number should be subtracted from 10 (or from 9 for those born in 2000 or later. If the result is 0, add 9 to it).

For a woman, you need to add 5 to the number received before this and, if necessary, reduce the sum again to a single-digit number (for a girl or girl born in 2000 or after it, you need to add 6).

The result obtained is the personal Gua number.

Eastern and Western groups

It is into the western and eastern groups that all people are divided depending on the Gua number. If it turns out to be 1, 3, 4 or 9, then you belong to the eastern group. Westerners include everyone whose Gua number is 2, 5, 6, 7 or 8.

These groups are opposite. The opposite is that the same directions in the home (or workplace) are favorable for the Eastern group, but unfavorable for the Western group. And vice versa. And to calculate the Gua number means to clearly define them.

Favorable directions for the eastern group are north, south, east and southeast. For western - western, southwestern, northwestern, northeastern. Accordingly, the northeast, northwest and also the west and southwest are unfavorable for the eastern group, and the south, north, southeast and east for the western group.

Suitable houses for western and eastern groups

It is advisable to choose for yourself a house (or office) that “sits” in a favorable direction, that is, its front (and back) side is directed in a certain direction. At the same time, the front side is not always understood as the façade of a building. The front side is the most active (in terms of movement, noise), spacious and most illuminated side. In Feng Shui, the opposite side is called the back side.

Those who belong to the eastern group should choose a house with front and back sides in the direction respectively:

1) North - south. In this case, the house will be subordinate to the element of Fire.

2) South - north. For such houses, their element will be Water.

3) West – East. The element of these houses is Wood.

4) northwest – southeast. In houses located in this direction, the dominant element will be Wood.

It is advisable for representatives of the Western group to live in buildings with a front-to-back direction:

1) Northeast - southwest. The element of such houses is Earth.

How to distribute rooms in the house

It is known that the 8 sectors into which any building is divided are divided into 4 favorable and 4 unfavorable. For each calculated Gua number (1–9, see below), recommendations on the location of various rooms in the home will look like this.

1. For a bedroom, the best place is south, the worst is northeast and southwest. For your personal account, it is advisable to choose the north or southeast, and the most undesirable is the west and southwest. In the east, it is worth allocating a room to that family member who is often sick; The worst place for an unhealthy family member will be in the southwest and northwest. The nursery would be appropriate in the north, and the toilet in the northwest.

2. The optimal location for the bedroom is the northwest, and the undesirable location is the southeast. The workplace is best placed in the southwest or northeast; but in the north and east it is better not to equip your office. If there are those in your family who suffer from poor health, assign him a room in the west, but do not do so in the south and north. In the southwest it is worth placing the nursery. The most suitable place for a toilet, so that all the troubles and problems flow into the sewer, is the south.

3. A suitable place for an office in this case is the east or south, the most inappropriate is the southwest and west; and for the nursery it is best to choose the eastern sector. The bedroom for people whose Gua number is 3 should be in the southeast; the most unsuitable sector for it is the west and north-west. The best place to improve your health is in the north of the house. In this case, the toilet should be in the northeast.

4. For the bedroom, choose the east and under no circumstances choose the southwest and northeast. If you have children, place them in the southeast and avoid the southwest for your nursery. If one of your household members needs to improve their health, allocate a room for them in the south. It is advisable to place the office in the southeast or north; but do not organize a workplace for yourself in the northwest and northeast. And try to place the toilet in the west.

5. In the case of this Gua number, favorable as well as unfavorable directions differ for men and women. Men should place their bedrooms in the northwest, women - in the west. The southeast and north are unfavorable for bedrooms for both men and women. The room for a son whose Gua number is 5 should be placed in the southwest, for a daughter - in the northeast. The best place for an office for men and for a workplace for women is in the southwest and northeast. It is advisable for unhealthy family members to settle in the west (if we are talking about a man) or in the north-west (if a woman is unhealthy). It is advisable for a woman with Gua number 5 to have a toilet in the east, for a man - in the south.

6. A nursery for a child whose Gua number is 6 should be located in the northwest. It is advisable for adults with such a personal number to sleep in the southwest; it is very bad if this person arranges his bedroom in the east or south. Ideal sectors for the office are west and north-west; the most unfavorable are the south and southeast. The place of health for people with Gua number 6 is in the northeast. It is advisable to arrange a room there for an elderly family member or someone who most needs treatment, etc. The toilet will come in handy in the north.

7. If you are experiencing health problems, then allocate a place in your home in the southwest. If you plan to work at home, arrange your workplace in the west or northwest; but do not try to achieve success by placing your office in the east or north. The best place for a person with Gua number 7 to have a bedroom is in the northeast; the worst is in the south and east. It makes sense to arrange a nursery for a child whose Gua number is 7 in the west. And the best place for a toilet is in the southeast.

8. For a study, in this case, the best choice is the southwest or northeast; You should not locate your workplace in the south and southeast. If the child has a Gua number of 8, place him in a room in the northeast. Organize your bedroom in the west (but not in the north or southeast). You feel sick? Then let your personal living space be located in the northwest. And it’s best for the toilet to be in the east.

9. If your Gua number is 9, then your office should be in the east or south, and for the bedroom it is optimal to choose the north. But under no circumstances sleep in the west and do not try to organize a workplace for yourself in the northeast, and do not use the northwest for such premises. For a son or daughter whose Gua number is 9, the optimal sector for the nursery is the northeast. If you feel unwell and develop diseases, your room should be in the northwest. The toilet in the house, if its owner has a Gua number of 9, should be located in the east.

Personal growth

Those who are making a career or would like intense spiritual growth must certainly intensify the direction of personal growth. These directions are:

north – for Gua number 1,
southwest - for Gua 2,
east – for Gua 3 and 7,
southeast - for Gua 4;
northeast, southwest - for Gua 5;
northwest - for Gua 6;
northeast - for Gua 8;
south – for Gua 9.

Organize a work office, a corner for meditation in the desired sector, or place an accessory here that symbolizes the area of your personal growth.
