How to Calculate your Ming Gua - Kua.
For Females:
For Females:
1. Add the numbers of the year of birth and bring it to a single digit. #2
2. Add your single digit to the number # 4
3. Add this number together to form a single digit. #6
4. This is your Kua number. #6
Note: if you are born after the year of 2000 then you need to change the #4 to the number #5
For Males:
Add the numbers of the year of birth and bring it to a single digit. #7
2. Deduct your single digit from #11
3. This is your Kua number. #4
Note: if you are born after the year of 2000 then you need to change the #11 to the number #9
Note: if you are born after the year of 2000 then you need to change the #10 to the number #9
NOTE: be aware if your birthday date is before February date of Chinese New Year in that year – your birth year will move to the earlier year.
E.g. 30 January 1964 becomes 1963
DO NOT FACE the East this year even if your Kua number is one of the directions due to the Grand Duke energy there this year. You do not want to face him head on - keep your back to the East.
Below is the Chart directions for everyone. Simply circle the Kua number that matches you and take note of the directions for each area.
I have added a template in below for you to either copy or draw up so that you can have your own chart for keeping on you for reminding.
You can print this chart off and keep as your guide or draw one up.
Now take your directions and circle your area in each section.
Take a photo of your chart and keep it with you wherever you are.
SUCCESS. – My Power Seat
This is the direction you need to be facing – as in looking towards this direction. This is an awesome tool especially for your home or work office. Look where your desk is positioned, which direction you are facing?
You may need to move your chair slightly; you can use any of the other directions you have that are positive, to give you your most positive direction if your Power seat direction is not possible.
Use it in board rooms or just having a conversation with a specific client or partner and you need to have success on your side.
You will use this direction for things such as
Anything that you define in your life that you need to be successful at, then this is the direction for you at that time.
HEALTH – WELL-BEING. – My Wellness Seat
This is the direction that you use for how you sleep. You have the crown (top) of your head towards this direction while you are sleeping. Another way to do this is the head of your bed is against the wall (solid wall preferable) in this direction of the house.
This is our restoration of well-being direction.
One question I get asked so often is – “What if my partner and I have different directions?” well I always believe that the person who is most important in your family, as in they are bringing the bacon home or they are the major contributor to the home should have their direction first.
Now let me say here before you get a little worried that you do not count in this process – you do – but who do you feel is the one who is going to be missed and bring the family the most drama if they are not able to contribute.
In my home we are lucky we have both got a metal element number, but I would put Rob before me because he has a much more labour-intensive role than I do and he needs great health and energy to do that role.
Do not let the direction become a big matter for you, it is simply working out a wholesome approach to who needs the support. You can always change to give everyone some good energy. It is not the money making energy but it will help support you in having the energy to make abundance - what ever that means for you.
If someone is unwell then I would also look at how you can help their energy by placing them in a better position while sleeping.
LOVE. My Connection Seat.
Oh, this is the one I do love the most and the one I check in on often! This is the direction you need to be facing – as in looking towards this direction.
It is not just about our partner love, but it is about relationships we have with many people.
You can use this direction for:
While in this facing position we are reminded of our communication and our communication is much more supported.
Communication has been a huge quality last year and this year and something that is very important as we move into Period #9 in 2024. How we communicate is changing and will change even more as the energy around us is changing.
PERSONAL GROWTH – My Wisdom Seat
Love this one too. This is my profoundly wise direction of self.
This is about reaching your full potential whether that be your knowledge, personal, emotional, or physical. It can even be when we want to take our intentions and soul to the next level.
Great space to face while meditating or working in your journal.
This brings me my sensibility and saneness.
This is the direction you need to be facing – as in looking towards this direction.
You can use this direction for:
The below directions are considered to be less favourable than our ones above. How you manage these directions will be the key to not allowing things to get out of control.
Remember where you can use the above directions to face and sleep and where you can use your space energy - Feng Shui Flying Stars to utilize the best energy in rooms that you are in.
Your Human Qi will also play a huge role in how this all works out for you and how your make the most of the successful directions you have.
UNLUCKY DIRECTIONS. My less desirable for my greater good seat.
As with everything in Feng Shui there is always going to be the Yin/Yang, Positive/Negative energy and we have that with our directions as well. Ancient Chinese philosophy says that these directions can bring misfortune – I like to focus on the positive ones at the top and do my best to be in those directions. Unlucky are the directions that I always say are less desirable for our greater good.
Let us face it we cannot always get the best spot but a little further on I have given some tips on how I do that.
I find that if I am facing any of these, I can often have the following knowing:
Now while these directions can put me off my game, I have a method that will get me back on point and into the game quickly! I can do this even in a public space so great for meetings.

Clearing Space – Here’s how to smudge your space
It is always a good idea to smudge your house, as stagnant energy accumulates even in the homes with best Feng Shui.
If smudging does not appeal to you at all, explore alternative ways to clear the energy.
At least several times a year. Some people smudge every week, while others might smudge less.
Remember you can choose alternative ways to clear the energy, such as basic space clearing, using sound, etc, which I am going to be sharing over the next month.
I sometimes ask for anyone or any energy that is not here to support our home or us – it is okay to leave and remove themselves from our home.
Yeap I am talking energy – spirit – congestion.
Step #1. Place the fireproof container and the smudge stick on a table, any other appropriate surface. It is best if you create a sense of ceremony when you smudge your house, as well as find a time when you will not be disturbed; 10-15 min should be enough.
Step #2. Focus your energy. Light the tip of your smudge stick, then gently wave the stick in the air till the tip begins to smoulder.
Step #3. Hold the smudge stick over the fireproof container at all times in order to avoid any lit herbs falling on the floor. You can use a feather if you have one, but usually just gently waving your hands to disperse the smoke is enough. Remind yourself to stay connected to your breathing throughout your smudging session.
Step #4. Go clockwise around your house (usually starting at the front door), and gently wave the smoke into the air. Spend a bit more time smudging the room corners, as they tend to accumulate stagnant energy. Be sure to also open the closet doors and carefully smudge inside. Do not forget about spaces such as the laundry room, the garage.
Step #5. When you have smudged all areas of your house, come back to where you started and gently extinguish your smudge stick (dipping it into a bowl with sand while applying a bit of pressure usually works well). Wait a bit, then pack your smudge stick, as well as the container, till your next smudging session. You can light a candle to continue to purify the energy.
Once your Palo Santo stick or Basilica and charcoal are lit and smouldering, direct the smoke waves to the overall energy field around your body, starting with the area above your head and continuing down to your feet.
Do not forget to breathe deeply while you do that. (If you can – I have to make sure the smoke is not directly near me when doing the deep breathing).
I have also seen smudging done as well in the reverse order.
Starting with the soles of the feet, going up both sides of the legs, torso, arms, and finishing by smudging the space above.
I prefer this way as I feel like when I reach my head I am leaving with my crown and universal energy cleansed last and absolutely.
May you now be in a beautiful calm and serene space.

]]>The one question I get asked the most – “How do I find the partner best suited to me with Feng Shui?
First lets look at the energy in our home for 2022 and where this energy is for romance. For the annual energy it is located in your South East of your home. This is the compass direction of South East.
Here we have wood element and wood element combined and in 2022 we have a stronger than usual yearly annual as the energy is all located in the original Lo Shu so it is even more auspicious this year.
The romance energy combines with creativity so use this energy to find ways to attract your new partner or ways to excite you current relationships.
If this is your bedroom you may want to make sure you have an open room with your bedhead on a strong solid wall, pairs of items to bring the universal energy into couples thinking and you could even add in a pair of mandarin ducks to complement your intentions.
These little ducks are maters for life and they represent the intention of a long relationship and togetherness. Travelling on the same journey together breast to breast.
If it is your living space then make sure you have space for the Qi to flow. Open this area up and make room for this energy to travel through your spaces and bring you auspicious qi.
Remember - the universal is listening to all that you are saying so be sure to use positive and encouraging words when talking about your relationship.
Never tell others what you want them to forget - I remember once a good friend of mine told me constantly how her hubby was just so not doing things right. Now I do not mean he was treating her badly but he was doing as she wanted as far as attention and loving.
She told me constantly she was leaving him - but then they reconciled and it took me ages to clear my head of all her negative chatter so I could come to appreciate him again for her.
It was a very good lesson for me to learn also and I am so conscious of watching what I say to others about Rob especially if it is just one of his annoying little habits that I truly know one day when he is gone ( if it is before me to another universal space) I am going to miss like crazy.
So back to our South East - add in some wood element if you want to strengthen this area or some water element but careful of the fire and metal element.
If you feel like it is over stimulated and you have too much wood and water in there and you have more admirers than you need than you could bring in a touch of the fire element just to settle it down but only after you have removed the water or extra wood that you can from the area.
In China the Peach Blossom plant represents romance. So hence we say in Feng Shui - finding your Peach blossom.
This is the Chinese Zodiac who compliments your zodiac the best, with your personality and the energy that you bring to each other.
There is a little bit of calculating to do with your charts to get your exact point in your space, but
to simplify things I have put a chart here for you to work it out quickly and to find the location.
You will first need to know your Chinese Zodiac Animal so that you can use the chart then you just need to find the direction in your home.
Then, how do you enhance your peach blossom with Feng Shui.
You simply find your Chinese Zodiac below and the Peach blossom that goes with it.
Remember that all the zodiac just like humans have positive and not so positive traits and we want to compliment an other person by bringing out the better side of them. There is also the human Qi effect which will have a lot to do with how your relationships eventuate as well.
How much energy you place in your relationships?
How much time your give to those relationships?
How you treat those relationships? are all factors in the success of a relationship with another person.
Another formula we use in Feng Shui is the calculation of our Ming Gua or Kua number - this gives us the element we are and our destiny numerals which also give us traits about ourselves and how we can compliment others. Worth checking this out also for an additional tool to use when working on your relationships.

]]>Make sure the size of the jar you decide to use is large enough for the area you will be placing it in.
Remember every home will have both negative and positive energy.
Yin and Yang.
The Salt Water Cure is fast becoming very popular within homes to assist in removing of negative energy.
THE OLD SALT WATER CURE
You should have removed your old cures from your home and if not then today is the day to do that.
Make sure you do not keep anything from your 2021 cure.
Wrap it up and then place it in the bin. Coins and all.
I always give it thanks for taking care of us for the year when placing it in the bin.
Then replace your cures – here is the info below.
THE RECIPE
Take an older glass jar and plate or tray – not one of your precious pieces as you will be throwing it away when you are finished with it at the end of the year.
You will Need:
Pure Rock Salt or Himalayan Salt
Water
6 Chinese Coins
Take your jar and add salt to ¾ of the jar.
Add your 6 Chinese coins with the symbols to the top.+
Place water in the jar to fill.
Put the jar onto a plate or tray.
Place the Salt Water Cure into the South West of your home and the center for 2022.
How do you know if you have it in the right place?
It will start to crystallize and create salt crystals around the top of the jar and depending on the amount of crystallization it can flow over the jar onto the tray or plate.
Do not place the jar on good furniture or anywhere it will leave a mark.
If you find that you have a lot of crystallization on the jar, then you can replace it more often during the year.
To remove the jar from your home be sure to place the jar and all its contents and the tray into a plastic bag, tie the top and place directly into the bin.
Replace when needed.
