Your Personal Kua Number

The compass of your life. 8 directions, 4 favorable, 4 to avoid.

Your Kua number (命卦) is derived from your birth year and gender. It determines which compass directions are personally auspicious for you — independent of the property itself. Most popular Kua calculators skip the classical 立春 Lì Chūn (solar year) correction and return the wrong Kua for anyone born in January or early February. We don't. Enter your month and day and we apply the correction automatically.
