Your Kua (Gua) number is a single digit from 1 to 9, calculated from your birth year and gender, that reveals your personal trigram, your East- or West-group element, and your four lucky compass directions for wealth, health, love and growth in the Eight Mansions (Ba Zhai) school of Feng Shui. Enter your birth year and gender below to find yours instantly, free.
From our Feng Shui engine: every birth year and gender resolves to one of eight usable Kua numbers (5 is remapped to 2 for men and 8 for women), splitting evenly into the East group — 1, 3, 4, 9 — and the West group — 2, 6, 7, 8.
Your Kua number maps the space around you. Your Korean Saju maps the time you were born — the year, month, day and hour pillars, the balance of all Five Elements, and your ten-year luck cycles. CheonMyeongDang reads the whole chart for a personalized analysis.

Kua 5 has no trigram of its own: it becomes Kua 2 (Kun) for men and Kua 8 (Gen) for women, so it is not listed as a separate row. East-group Kua numbers (1, 3, 4, 9) share the four East directions; West-group Kua numbers (2, 6, 7, 8) share the four West directions. Directions describe traditional Feng Shui guidance for reflection, not fixed outcomes.
