Everyone wants to be happy:healthy, successful, wealthy, loved and desired. And by hook or by crook (alas!) they try to achieve exactly this quality of life. However, our efforts do not always give the desired effect. And what is stopping them? Or maybe we just do not know how to correctly apply these efforts, and do not know how to competently distribute our life-giving energy? Then we suggest you turn to the ancient Chinese teaching of Feng Shui, use the formula and calculate the Gua number. According to the Chinese philosophy of Feng Shui, the Gua number is calculated individually for each person based on their date of birth. This number allows you to determine the favorable and unfavorable cardinal directions in the Bagua grid - a magic circle that describes the Universe and divides the space around a person into specific spheres. Each sphere (sector of the circle) defines a zone in the room (home, office). And the correct and targeted activation of these zones allows you to harmonize the living space and influence events and the course of life. A personal number according to Feng Shui makes it possible to determine which direction and which zone is the most favorable for a person, and which carries a hidden danger.
How to calculate the number of Gua
To calculate the natal number according to Feng Shuionly the date of birth and its correspondence to the lunar calendar are required. If you were born in January or from the first to the fifth of February, then the previous year should be taken for the calculation. For all subsequent dates in February and any other month, the personal Gua number is calculated based on the actual year of birth. So, to find out your personal number according to Feng Shui, follow these steps.
The second way to calculate the Gua number DefinitionThe Gua number can also be calculated using another formula. For men, the number consisting of the last two digits of the year of birth is divided by 9, and the remainder is subtracted from 10. For example, the year of birth is 1995. 95 is divided by 9 (95:9=10+5). 5 is subtracted from 10 (10-5=5). The Gua number is 5. If the remainder is zero, then 9 is subtracted from 10, not 0. For example, for men born in 1990, the calculation is as follows: 1990:9=10 (remainder – 0); 10-9=1. The Gua number is 1. For women, the last two digits of the year of birth are added to 5, and the resulting sum is divided by 9. The remainder will be equal to the Gua number. For example, the year of birth is 1991. We add 5 to 91 (91+5=96); 96:9=10+6. The Gua number is 6. If the remainder is zero, then the Gua number should be considered 9. For example, the year of birth is 1994: 94 + 5 = 11. The remainder is 0, which means the Gua number is 9. As you can see, for men and women born in the same year and even on the same day, the Gua numbers will be different. But in addition to your personal Gua number, you also need to know the group to which you belong according to the teachings of Feng Shui.
Eastern and Western Gua number
According to Feng Shui philosophy, the group is by Gua numbercan be eastern or western. People of the East are people whose Gua number is 1, 3, 4, 9. People of the West are people whose Gua number is 2, 5, 6, 7, 8. According to the teachings of Feng Shui, these two cardinal directions are in constant conflict. Therefore, the compatibility of people of different groups themselves, as well as the relationship of a person with the cardinal direction opposite to his group, are also questionable. For example, the teachings of Feng Shui believe that people of the West are contraindicated to sleep with their head to the East, work at the computer, eat and generally sit facing the East. And vice versa: the western direction is similarly contraindicated for people of the East. In addition, in Feng Shui practices, favorable or unfavorable directions of the Bagua grid are determined by the cardinal directions depending on the group. Favorable directions according to Feng Shui for people with the eastern Gua number (1, 3, 4, 9):
- East,
- Southeast,
- South;
- North.
Favorable directions according to Feng Shui for people with Western Gua number (2, 5, 6, 7, 8):
- West,
- Northwest,
- Northeast,
- Southwest.
Bad and good directions for the number of Gua
Note that favorable and unfavorabledirections by the Gua number are also located in the Bagua grid, as are its main directions by cardinal points. Only depending on the individual Gua number, these directions will correspond to different cardinal points and, therefore, will be located differently in the Bagua grid. However, any Gua number has only four favorable and four unfavorable zones:
- Zone of Wealth (material well-being and prosperity);
- Zone of Love (love, family, romantic relationships, sex life);
- Health (physical and mental health of the inhabitants of the house);
- Personal growth (self-improvement, personal success, success in training and career).
Unfavorable (bad or dangerous) zones according to Feng Shui:
- The Zone of Unhappiness is the most unfavorable place inindoors. If a person is in the zone for a long time and often, then he begins to feel irritated, and his life will be followed by minor setbacks and frequent disappointments.
- Zone of Five Spirits. Promotes the emergence of problems in relationships.
- The Zone of Six Murders is a zone of six failures, one after the other or one time: financial collapse, illness, loss of reputation, death of loved ones, parting with children, trouble with the law.
- Zone Loss is the zone of the most terrible misfortunes: death, complete collapse, bankruptcy, incurable diseases.
However, not everything is so bad, and it is possible to correct thesezones can. Good zones, coinciding with the zones of influence in the Bagua grid, indicate that these areas dominate in your life, and it is here that you will be lucky. If certain zones of influence are superimposed by bad directions according to the Gua number, then you should make special efforts to achieve success in these areas of life. Because they are the weak link in the chain of events in your life. The main thing is to figure out where exactly in the house the favorable and unfavorable directions are located according to the Gua number, and what zones of influence they are superimposed on.
How the Gua number works
To determine the location of zones by the Gua number,You need to draw a regular octagon and place it on the plan of the house or room, aligning the cardinal directions in the octagon with the cardinal directions in the room.
- The upper edge is South,
- The lower edge is North;
- The right edge is the West;
- The left edge is East.
Well, and between them they will be placed accordinglyNortheast and Northwest, Southeast and Southwest. For each personal Feng Shui number, favorable and unfavorable zones are located in different sectors of the octagon. In addition, traditional directions on the Bagua grid are also located in a favorable or unfavorable zone for a given number. By comparing the location of active Feng Shui zones with good and bad zones for you according to the Gua number, you can activate or neutralize the action of the energy of this zone with the help of Feng Shui talismans, elements and the color of each zone. Unfavorable directions are calculated in order to correctly navigate in everyday life during meals, sleep, work and other activities. And it is also advisable to take these directions into account when arranging furniture and orienting the front door and windows (as much as possible).
