Calculating Your Kua Numbers: A Step-by-Step Guide

The calculation varies slightly depending on whether you were born before or during/after the year 2000.

Step 1: Determine Your Birth Year for Kua Numbers

Use your birth year according to the Gregorian calendar (e.g., 1985, 2003). While some Feng Shui practices use the lunar calendar, for Kua number calculations, the Gregorian year is typically used.

Step 2: Sum the Last Two Digits of Your Birth Year

Take the last two digits of your birth year and add them together.

• Example: If you were born in 1987, add 8 + 7 = 15.
• Example: If you were born in 2005, add 0 + 5 = 5.

Step 3: Reduce to a Single Digit

If the sum from Step 2 is a two-digit number, keep adding its digits together until you get a single digit (1-9).

• Example (continuing from 1987): 15 becomes 1 + 5 = 6.
• Example (continuing from 2005): 5 is already a single digit, so it remains 5.

Step 4: Apply the Gender-Specific Formula for Kua Numbers

Now, use the single digit you found in Step 3 and apply the formula based on your gender and birth era.

For Males:

• Born 1900–1999: Subtract the single-digit result from 10.
  • Example: If your single digit is 6 (from a 1987 birth), then 10 - 6 = 4. Your Kua number is 4.
• Born 2000 and Later: Subtract the single-digit result from 9.
  • Example: If your single digit is 5 (from a 2005 birth), then 9 - 5 = 4. Your Kua number is 4.

For Females:

• Born 1900–1999: Add 5 to the single-digit result. If the sum is a two-digit number, reduce it to a single digit again (as in Step 3).
  • Example: If your single digit is 6 (from a 1987 birth), then 6 + 5 = 11. Reduce 11 to 1 + 1 = 2. Your Kua number is 2.
• Born 2000 and Later: Add 6 to the single-digit result. If the sum is a two-digit number, reduce it to a single digit again.
  • Example: If your single digit is 5 (from a 2005 birth), then 5 + 6 = 11. Reduce 11 to 1 + 1 = 2. Your Kua number is 2.

Special Case: Kua Numbers 5

The Kua number 5 is unique and is always substituted:

• If your calculated Kua number for a male is 5, substitute it with 2.
• If your calculated Kua number for a female is 5, substitute it with 8.
• For consultations.

Example Calculation for Kua Numbers

Let’s calculate the Kua number for someone born in 1995:

1. Last two digits: 9 + 5 = 14
2. Reduce to single digit: 1 + 4 = 5

Now, apply the gender formula:

• If Male (born 1995): The single digit is 5. Since males with a calculated 5 are substituted, your Kua number is 2.
• If Female (born 1995): The single digit is 5. Add 5 (for pre-2000 birth): 5 + 5 = 10. Reduce 10 to 1 + 0 = 1. Your Kua number is 1. (No substitution needed here as the final result isn’t 5).

Final Thoughts for Kua Numbers

Your Kua numbers is a powerful tool in Feng Shui, offering personalized guidance to create harmony and attract positive energy into your life. While the calculation is straightforward, it’s always a good idea to double-check your birth year and follow the gender-specific rules carefully. For more complex situations or if you’re unsure about lunar year discrepancies, consulting a professional Feng Shui expert can provide tailored insights.
