Kua Number Six Overall Description (no need for this to be an exact match):
You are born under the year of the CHIEN trigram with the element of metal. In the eyes of others, you appear to be hard and rigid but in contrast, you are calm and cool. You are under the category of being a Commander or Chief of a Department that will only lead others and not be a follower. Being strong headed and obstinate, you tend to be very strict in discipline. You make and enforce all the rules.
Similarly to kua two and three people, kua number six people are obdurate and hard-nosed thus hard to get along with others. You are extremely focused, proud and a perfectionist. Having such character, you tend to be lonely and depressed. One good advice is that you should be taking things with more ease, instead of being so serious.
Chien also signifies sky, energy, perseverance and heaven. Chien's element is big metal and its direction is northwest.
People born in a six metal year are born into the year which fully represents male qualities. In general this means the person is straight and to the point and can be a good natural leader showing their natural authority. They are perceived as quiet and even-handed. Their need to be even-handed can appear as inflexibility, however.

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 West.
If you spend lots of time in the West 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: West
This fortunate area for you is in the west, which is energized by round metallic things. You can build the good energy here by decorating with shiny silver, gold, brass or copper objects such as plates and bowls or arch-, dome-, sphere-, and circle-shaped objects and things that are curvy or shiny. White is also considered a metal color. The west's energy is strengthen by the number seven.
Metal prosperity objects, such as coins, displayed in a group of seven will add more power to this good energy.
Since the earth element supports the creation of metal, you can also use earth colors (pale yellow, beige) such as seven earthen objects made of stone, clay or crystals here.
The fire element melts metal and destroys this good energy, so please keep the color red out of any permanent decorations and avoid using or adding a fireplace or lots of bright lights to this metal area.
The color white and all shiny metallic colors are strong west energizers. The poster below shows a metallic rocking horse (the west has the fun energy of creativity, and children).
