Know your direction.Move through life with alignment.
Your Life Gua—also known as your Kua Number—connects your birth year with one of nine energetic profiles. Use it to understand your natural decision style, favorable directions, and the environments that help you work, rest, lead, and relate at your best.

Each profile carries an element, star quality, life group, decision rhythm, and set of supportive orientations.
What your Life Gua reveals
A clearer way to place yourself for the task ahead.
Life Gua is part of the Eight Mansions approach to Feng Shui. It helps translate personal energy into practical choices: where to face for focused work, how to orient important conversations, and which directions better support recovery, relationships, or momentum.
It is not a fixed label or prediction. Think of it as a positioning tool—one layer of insight that helps you make your surroundings work more intelligently with you.
Life Gua guides space · timing selects the moment · your choices create the outcome.

Directional Families
East Life and West Life groups
Your group organizes four broadly supportive directions. Your individual profile identifies what each direction is best used for.
East Life Group
Generally aligned with North, South, East, and Southeast. These profiles tend to work with flow, growth, movement, and illumination.
West Life Group
Generally aligned with West, Northwest, Southwest, and Northeast. These profiles tend to emphasize structure, stability, refinement, and consolidation.
Designed for real life
Use direction as a quiet advantage.
Small positioning choices can support clarity and consistency. Use your favorable directions for high-leverage activities, then combine them with good timing, preparation, and sound judgment.
