Everyone wants to be happy: healthy, successful, wealthy, loved and desired. And by all the truths and crooks (alas!) Try to achieve just such a quality of life. However, not always our efforts give the proper effect. Also what prevents? Or maybe we just do not know how to properly apply these efforts, and do not know how to distribute our life-saving energy competently? Then we suggest you turn to the ancient Chinese teachings of feng shui, use the formula and calculate the number of Gua. According to Chinese philosophy Feng Shui Gua number is calculated individually for each person by the date of his birth. This number allows you to determine the favorable and unfavorable side of the world in the grid Bagua - a magical circle that describes the universe and divides the surrounding space into specific areas. Each sphere (sector of the circle) defines the zone in the room (house, office). A correct and directed activation of these zones allows you to harmonize the living space and affect the events and the flow of life. A personal number for feng shui enables you to determine which of the directions and which of the zones is most favorable for a person, and which carries a hidden danger. 
How to calculate the number of Gua
To calculate the natal number of feng shuiOnly the date of birth and its correspondence to the lunar calendar are needed. If you were born in January or the first or fifth of February, then you need to take the previous year to calculate. For all the following numbers of February and any other month, the personal figure of Gua is calculated by the actual year of birth. So, to find out your personal number by feng shui, perform the following actions.
The second way to calculate the number of Gua Determination of the numberGua is possible and according to 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 divide by 9 (95: 9 = 10 + 5). 5 subtract from 10 (10-5 = 5). The number of Gua is 5. If the remainder is zero, then from 10 is subtracted not 0, but 9. For example, for men born in 1990, the calculation looks like this: 1990: 9 = 10 (remainder - 0); 10-9 = 1. The number of Gua 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 is equal to the number of Gua. For example, the year of birth is 1991. To 91 add 5 (91 + 5 = 96); 96: 9 = 10 + 6. The number of Gua is 6. If the remainder is zero, then the number of Gua should be considered 9. For example, the year of birth 1994: 94 + 5 = 11. The remainder is 0, which means that the Gua number is 9. As you can see, for men and women born in one year and even in one day, the Gua numbers will be different. But in addition to your personal Gua number, you need to know the group you belong to according to the teachings of Feng Shui. 
Eastern and Western Gua number
According to the philosophy of Feng Shui Group on the number of Guacan be eastern or western. People of the East are people whose number of Gua is 1, 3, 4, 9. People of the West are people whose number of Gua is 2, 5, 6, 7, 8. According to the teachings of feng shui, these two sides of the world are in constant conflict . Therefore, the compatibility of the people of different groups, as well as the relationship of a person with the opposite side of the world, is in question. So, for example, the doctrine of feng shui believes that it is contraindicated for people of the West to sleep their heads to the East, work at a computer, eat and generally sit around turning their faces to the East. And vice versa: the western direction is similarly contraindicated to the people of the East. In addition, in the practice of feng shui, the favorable or unfavorable directions of the Bagua grid are determined on the sides of the world, depending on the group. Favorable directions for feng shui for people with the eastern number of Gua (1, 3, 4, 9):
- East,
- Southeast,
- South;
- North.
Favorable directions for 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 for the number of Gua are also located in the Bagua grid, as well as its main directions in parts of the world. Only depending on the individual Gua number, these directions will correspond to different sides of the world and, consequently, differently placed in the Bagua grid. Nevertheless, any number of Gua has only four favorable and four adverse 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 for 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 scary, and adjust thesezone is possible. Good areas, coinciding with the zones of influence in the Bagua grid, indicate that in your life these spheres predominate, and it is here that you will be lucky. If there are bad areas of influence over certain areas of influence by the number of Gua, 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 calculate exactly where the favorable and unfavorable directions for the number of Gua are located in the house, and to which zones of influence they are superimposed.
How the Gua number works
To determine the location of the zones by the number of Gua,you need to draw the correct octagon and apply it to the plan of the house or room, aligning the sides of the light in the octagon with the sides of the light 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, between them, respectively, will be locatedNortheast and North-West, South-East and South-West. For each personal number, feng shui, favorable and unfavorable zones are located in different sectors of the octagon. In addition, the traditional directions along the Bagua grid are also located in a favorable or unfavorable for a given number of zones. Comparing the location of the active feng shui zones with good and bad zones for you by the number of Gua, you can activate or neutralize 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 be guided in everyday life during eating, sleeping, working and other things. And it is also desirable to take these directions into account when arranging the furniture and orienting the front door and windows (as far as possible).
