What it is
What is a Kua number calculator?
A Kua number (命卦) is a single digit from 1 to 9 derived from your birth year and the traditional Ba Zhai (Eight Mansions) formula. The Kua number calculator places you in the East or West group and lists four favorable and four less favorable compass directions you can use when planning a feng shui bedroom.
Why it matters
Why your Kua number matters for a feng shui bedroom
- It turns a vague goal ("better bedroom energy") into concrete directions for the headboard and desk.
- It helps couples compare groups and pick a shared compromise instead of guessing.
- It is a second layer: first fix the visible layout (bed, door, mirror), then fine-tune with Kua directions.

Common scenarios
Typical questions people bring to this tool, and how it answers them. Illustrative use cases, not customer reviews.
“My partner and I are in different groups.”
Compare both results and prioritise the sleeper who rests worse, or choose a direction that is neutral for both.
“I was born in January — which year counts?”
The calculator uses the Lichun year boundary and shows the year it actually used.
“The bed can only go against one wall.”
Keep the solid wall; use the Kua grid only to choose desk or sitting direction instead.
FAQ
FAQ
What is a Kua number?+
A number from 1–9 from your birth year in the Ba Zhai system, used to group people into East or West directions.
Is the Kua number calculator free?+
Yes. The Kua number calculator is free and needs no account.
Why does my birth date before February change the result?+
Feng shui years start at Lichun (about Feb 4), so early-year births use the previous year.
Do I need to know true north?+
Yes, to apply the result. Use a phone compass away from metal and confirm the room's north before moving furniture.
What if my favorable direction is impossible for the bed?+
Keep the commanding position (solid wall, view of the door) first; Kua directions are a fine-tuning layer.
Does a Kua number predict health or money?+
No. It is a traditional orientation guide for arranging a room, not a prediction or promise.
Kua 5 — what happens?+
Kua 5 is mapped to 2 (male formula) or 8 (female formula), following the common Ba Zhai convention.
