Your Four Personal BEST Directions and Areas in a Room or House
The Meaning of Your 8 Lifetime Directions
Based on the time of your birth, your Kua Number (also called your Gau number or the Pau Kau number) reveals the four best energy areas in your environment that support your continued growth in success and happiness.
The Kua number also warns you of the four energies in your space that sap your strength and cause problems. It’s best to stay out of these four most disturbing energy areas, which can increase your stress and keep you feeling down. These best and worst energy areas are specific to your birth date and stay with you for life.
As you are learning how to use your personal feng shui energies (by simply spending more time in the four good ones and avoiding the four stressful ones), consider putting a sticky note on your walls to show where all eight directions are.
For more attractive feng shui, order the feng shui posters (a sample is shown below) which are already labeled with your compass direction and your purpose for that area and the physical element needed in that area. These posters are very helpful when you hang them in spaces where you spend a lot of time (like an office, classroom, or conference room).
Once you have them up, you are able to choose one of your four best seats in the room, with just a quick glance at the walls. These posters will keep you in your best directions and help you avoid the four dangerous ones.
Your goal is to always sit and sleep in your best areas because you are then tapping into supportive energy which gives you great benefits, such as an edge in your creativity, more influence over other people and a boost to your health.
Note: It’s most important to FIRST create a strong feng shui organized home, bedroom or work environment (clutter-reduced and color-coded with appropriate objects) BEFORE you use the secrets revealed here. So, check that each of your nine bagua areas is color coded and has at least one appropriate element object .
Your #1 Best Direction (which the Chinese call: Sheng Chi; or English translation: Life Chi Energy) is the South West.
If you spend lots of time in the Southwest it will bring you: personal wealth, great prosperity, success and respectability.
Your "Sheng Chi" is known as the Wealth and Success Area and Direction. This is the strongest, most supportive energy direction and location to spend time in. Try to enter your home through a door that is located in this area of your home.
Although you could certainly sleep with the top of your head pointing in this direction, it may be too much good energy and not calm enough to offer the most peaceful sleep. Use your health direction (below) instead.
You should face this direction when you are doing business with clients, customers or patients. Teachers and presenters should face this direction when lecturing, as well as, when conferencing with parents, students or clients.
When you work alone and need to concentrate, it’s very good to have your BACK toward this direction, because it props you up like a strong, comfy chair.
How To Decorate Your Wealth & Success Area and Direction: Southwest
This fortunate area for you is in the southwest, which is energized by earth elements, such as crystals, stones, clay, porcelain, dirt, tile, and ceramics.
The earth colors are pale yellow, beige and very light tan.
The number two builds up the energy in the northeast, so a group of two rocks or crystals is supportive.
Any pairs of earthen objects that represent prosperity, and things that are short and square-like (like clay pots) will enhance the power in this space.
Earth is created from fire, so splashes of red and candles or lights will be effective here.
However, earth is weakened by wood, so avoid wood objects and don’t have any permanent green décor here.
The color pink builds the southwest's natural love and relationship energy and is a strong southwest energizer. The poster below shows a pair (the power number of 2)of tea cups made of porcelain (earth element). Placing this image in the northeast will strengthen your personal feng shui direction for wealth and success. Then remember to spend lots of time near this poster.
Your Health Area and Direction: Northwest
Enhance this location with metal objects or stone objects to give health a boost. Eat or work in this location when getting over an illness. A six-rod hollow wind-chime is an excellent enhancer for this location, as is a beautiful metal vase.
Your Love Area and Direction: West
Enhance this area with small metal objects, round objects, or stone objects. Shiny and reflective items are especially helpful for stimulating romance. Decorate in colors of white, silver, or grays. Yellows are also helpful. Add a radio to this location to boost romance!
Your Growth Area and Direction: Northeast
In personal feng shui, the northeast is your growth and wisdom direction. Work in this location to improve your standing, study in this direction, and locate beneficial activities here, such as dining to improve all areas of life. Are you trying to start over from any kind of setback? If so, this is direction to face or be spend time in. Adding a beautiful vase here will help to capture beneficial chi!

Your Unfortunate Areas and Directions: South, North, East, Southeast
Kua number eight people should avoid the south sector and/or direction. To spend time here can cause arguments and legal problems or some kind of accident. You will be blamed for problems if you occupy this sector too much or if your front door faces this direction.
The north and east can cause accidents, misfortune, and difficulties, such as lawsuits, burglary or fire. If your front door faces this direction, your family may leave you. If you have a business with a front door facing this direction, employees may leave. This is a good location for a kitchen or toilet.
Strenuously avoid the southeast because it is the VERY worst direction for kua number eight people. A front door facing this direction can lead to a loss of children or other close family members. Infertility can also arise, causing the family name to die out. Wealth will also be lost. This is a good location for a kitchen or a toilet.
