Eight Mansions · Kua number
🧭 Eight Mansions
From your lunar birth year and gender, Eight Mansions feng shui gives you a Kua number and personal trigram — East or West group — then splits the compass into four lucky and four unlucky directions, each with its classical use for doors, beds, desks and kitchens.
Born near Tết? The lunar year is computed from the real calendar — a January or February birth may belong to the previous lunar year.
🧭 Your compass and the house's compass are two different things: the Kua trigram from your lunar birth year is only half the method — the other half is the dwelling's own trigram, read from the direction its back faces. Good directions: face your desk or door toward them; bad directions: classically used for the kitchen (burning the bad luck away).
