8 Mansions & Feng Shui
Map your personal Kua to the eight directional energies. Place where you sit, sleep, and work to amplify growth, health, relationships, and focus—while avoiding loss and friction.
How 8 Mansions Works
8 Mansions assigns eight directional “seats” around you. Your personal Kua sorts these seats into four favorable and four unfavorable energies. The goal is simple: face or occupy favorable directions for key activities, and buffer the rest.
1) Personal Kua
Find your Kua with the calculator (Li Chun aware). East Group: 1, 3, 4, 9. West Group: 2, 6, 7, 8 (5 maps to 2 ♂ / 8 ♀).
2) Match Directions
Each Kua maps the eight directions into distinct outcomes (below). You choose which energy to “use” for a task.
3) Place Activity
Set bed headboard, desk facing, stove, and door use to harness Sheng Qi, Tian Yi, Yan Nian, or Fu Wei.
The Eight Directional Energies
Favorable
- Sheng Qi — Growth, ambition, wealth creation. Best for the desk facing, main door use, sales calls.
- Tian Yi — Health, recovery, stability. Best for the bed headboard, healing corners.
- Yan Nian — Relationships, networks, trust. Best for dining, meeting zones, family areas.
- Fu Wei — Focus, study, meditation. Best for learning, writing, strategy thinking.
Unfavorable
- Jue Ming — Major loss, critical setbacks. Avoid for bed/desk/main door.
- Liu Sha — Petty people, legal noise. Keep to storage or low-usage zones.
- Wu Gui — Disruptions, accidents, fires. Keep heat/sparks away; avoid stoves here.
- Huo Hai — Minor hassles, delays. Acceptable for storage or transient use.
The direction that carries these labels depends on your Kua. Get your map from the Kua Calculator, then apply the room-by-room steps below.
