If you sleep, sit, or work in your lucky directions and align your front door with them, you will attract more money, achieve success in your career, health condition, personal connection, or personal development.
To establish which Feng Shui directions are fortunate for you, you must first determine your Kua (Gua) number, which is computed using your date of birth (mostly your birth year) and gender. After determining your best direction, you can apply these auspicious directions to your home or office in order to increase your luck in wealth, health, love, and personal growth.
The Eight Directions And The Kua Numbers
In Feng Shui, they are divided into two groups: East Group and West Group in which each direction has a corresponding Kua number, and this for their own Lucky Feng Shui DIrections respectively.
East group members should avoid directions in the West group, while West group members should avoid directions in the East group. All of the directions in this group are fortunate.

How Each Direction Impacts You
The Auspicious
生氣 (Sheng Chi) Life Generating
Your Prosperity direction gives you strong growth and advancement in life. It is also called “growth Chi” or “energy that moves upward.” It can help you move up in your job, start your own business, or even increase your chances of getting pregnant.
If you use this direction correctly, you will be more active in many parts of your life, such as making more money, having higher goals, and being more motivated at work. Young people who want to get ahead in life and work should go in this direction because it will help them do both.
天醫 (Tien Yi) Heavenly Doctor
Your Health direction, whose name means “heavenly doctor,” has a direct effect on your health and vitality and an indirect effect on your wealth. This direction is very helpful for older people and people who are sick.
Using this direction correctly will keep your mind and body healthy. You may also have less trouble, especially if something unexpected happens that costs you money.
延年 (Yan Nien) Longevity
Your love, relationships, and marriage are all connected to your Harmony direction, which means “harmony” and “longevity” in English. This should be the most important thing for people looking for a partner to do.
If you follow this direction, your marriage and love life will be stable. Your relationships with friends and family will get better, and you might meet new people who can help you in your personal and professional life.
伏位 (Fu Wei) Stability
Your Stability direction helps you grow as a person and gives you a calm life. If you use this direction correctly, it will get rid of the ripples that keep you from focusing on your daily life. This will give you more time and energy to look for ways to make things better.
The Inauspicious
禍害 (Huo Hai) Mishaps
Your Obstacles direction, which means “mishaps” and “troubles” in English, is linked to a loss of energy and motivation. Worse, it makes you tired and very lazy, which makes you useless at work and at home. The person may be afraid to take on responsibilities and may always feel weak and sick.
五鬼 (Wu Guay) Five Ghosts
Your Five Ghosts direction is linked to chaos and violence. This direction can sometimes do more damage than the Total Loss direction. It can make you too competitive, aggressive, and fierce, which can lead to problems with your family, work, and other people. Worse, it could put you in situations where you have to deal with lawsuits and bloody events (surgeries, accidents, and other situations that draw blood).
六煞 (Liu Xa) Six Killings
A negative mind is linked to your Six Killings direction. This path can hurt your marriage, your career, and the way you get along with other people. At the same time, it can keep you from sleeping and make you feel angry or uninterested. Worse, it could cause you to drink too much and gamble too much.
絕命 (Jue Min) LifeThreatening
Your Total Loss of direction, which literally means “ending life,” is about you killing yourself. It can cause depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses that can hurt your health in a big way. People also say that this direction is bad for a person’s ability to have children.
analysis
This is the conventional wisdom derived from the ancient Chinese Metaphysics. But it may not be so relevant in the modern world. There has been a lot of debates on this analysis of MING GUA or The Lucky Feng Shui DIrections as well. This can be a tricky question, you can ask you personal Feng Shui consultant and observe how they answer this.
- What if your spouse is having the opposite Ming Gua group with you? Which do you follow? Or are you not suitable for each other at all?
- If you analyze and look carefully at the Ming Gua above, there’s only 4 Lucky Feng Shui directions that you can use in a house (or a premises). Do we forgo the other half the house and leave it empty since it’s inauspicious?
Summary
The Lucky Feng Shui Directions has gives us the insights to one of the classical Feng Shui. Is it still relevant to us in the modern world? Yes, but the personal Feng Shui consultant need to make relevant adjustment to the modern world.
