The KUA Number

The KUA Number

The KUA Number (also known as Gua Number) is a concept primarily used in Feng Shui, but it often overlaps with numerology, as it involves birthdates and number calculation. It is used to determine an individual's personal energy direction, favorable and unfavorable compass directions, and how they interact with their environment.

✨ What is KUA Number?

KUA Number represents your personal Feng Shui number based on your birth year and gender. It helps you:

  • Understand your best directions for wealth, relationships, health, and personal growth.
  • Align your home, workspace, and life decisions with your favorable directions.
  • Balance your energy by identifying supportive or draining directions.

🧮 How to Calculate Your KUA Number?

🔻 For Males:

  1. Take the last two digits of your birth year.
  2. Add the digits together until you get a single digit.
  3. Subtract that single digit from 10.
  4. The result is your KUA Number.

Example:

  • Birth Year: 1992
    • Last two digits: 92
    • 9 + 2 = 11, then 1 + 1 = 2
    • 10 - 2 = 8
    • KUA Number = 8

🔻 For Females:

  1. Take the last two digits of your birth year.
  2. Add the digits together until you get a single digit.
  3. Add 5 to that single digit.
  4. If the result is a two-digit number, reduce it to a single digit.
  5. That is your KUA Number.

Example:

  • Birth Year: 1992
    • Last two digits: 92
    • 9 + 2 = 11, then 1 + 1 = 2
    • 2 + 5 = 7
    • KUA Number = 7

🔔 Special Cases:

  • For people born after the year 2000, use 9 instead of 10 for males and 6 instead of 5 for females.
