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 code .
Your #1 Best Direction (which the Chinese call: Sheng Chi; or English translation: Life Chi Energy) is the South.
If you spend lots of time in the South 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: South
This fortunate area for you is in the south, which is energized by the color red and fire and light. Candles or lights in a triangle-shape, as well as things that are pointy or sharp make this energy work best.
You can build up the good energy here by decorating with red things that represent fame, recognition and wealth.
A grouping of nine red prosperity objects with a triangle, star or zigzag pattern is another way to support the fire element that reigns over the south.
Since the wood element helps make fire burn brighter, touches of green, such as nine living plants, as well as, wooden, and tall, rectangular success objects are welcomed additions to this area.
The element of water puts out fire, so it’s important not to use black, dark blue or glass objects in the south. This is not the place for a water fountain or an aquarium.
The colors red, and bright orange are strong south energizers. The poster below has lots of light (fire) brightening your success. Placing this image in the south will strengthen your intention for wealth. Then remember to spend lots of time near this poster.

Your Love Area and Direction: South-East
