Kua Number Calculator

Discover your Feng Shui Kua Number and favorable directions

What is Kua number?

The Kua Number signifies the lucky direction for you. It tells you the best direction for career, health, and relationships.

How is the Kua Number related to the Lo Shu Grid? Can we use the Kua number in the Lo Shu Grid?

While the Kua Number isn’t used in the Lo Shu Grid to calculate your Lucky Number and missing numbers, the two do connect in an interesting way. The Lo Shu Grid is made up of 9 boxes, each aligned with a specific direction. Your Kua Number helps you understand which of those directions are most favorable for you – whether it’s for career, health, or relationships. So, the Lo Shu Grid shows the directions, and the Kua Number tells you which ones are lucky for you.

How to Channel the Power of Your Kua Number?

Your Kua Number isn’t just a number – it’s considered your guardian number or even a lucky charm in the world of numerology and Feng Shui. It holds unique vibrations that align with your personal energy and help attract success, harmony, and protection.

One powerful way to channel this energy is by writing your Kua Number on your left wrist using a green marker.

  • Left wrist = receiving hand of luck
  • Green = growth, healing, prosperity

How to Calculate Your Kua Number?

To find your Kua Number, you’ll need just two things:

  • Your year of birth

     

  • Your gender

     

The calculation is different depending on whether you were born before or after the year 2000, and whether you’re male or female.

If You Were Born Before 2000:

For Males

  1. Take the last two digits of your birth year
    – Example: 1991 → 91

     

  2. Add the digits: 9 + 1 = 10 → 1 + 0 = 1

     

  3. Subtract from 10: 10 – 1 = 9
    Kua Number = 9

     

For Females

  1. Take the last two digits of your birth year
    – Example: 1991 → 91

     

  2. Add the digits: 9 + 1 = 10 → 1 + 0 = 1

     

  3. Add 5: 1 + 5 = 6
    Kua Number = 6

     

If You Were Born in 2000 or Later:

For Males

  1. Take the last two digits of your birth year
    – Example: 2001 → 01

     

  2. Add the digits: 0 + 1 = 1

     

  3. Subtract from 9: 9 – 1 = 8
    Kua Number = 8

     

For Females

  1. Take the last two digits of your birth year
    – Example: 2001 → 01

     

  2. Add the digits: 0 + 1 = 1

     

  3. Add 6: 1 + 6 = 7
    Kua Number = 7
