In order to properly equip your home and establish your life, it is very important to know the number of Gua, which is individual for each of us. Calculating it is very simple. It will be enough to complete a few arithmetic operations.
Why you need to know the meaning of the number
According to Chinese doctrine, the number of Gua is a value that allows you to harmoniously combine your personal qi energy with the same energy of the entire space surrounding you and people. In the doctrine of feng shui, the formula that allows you to calculate this parameter is considered the most effective and significant among many. After all, only knowing our personal number, each of us will be able to determine their unfavorable and favorable directions.
And when we know which parts of the world are dangerous for us, and which vice versa, it will be possible to arrange our life so that we spend most of our time in our element, thereby attracting good events and repelling bad ones. In addition, after determining your number, you can find out about your character, as well as the personal characteristics of your relatives and friends, which will allow you to find out which of them you combine with and who not.
Start the calculation
Determining the number of Gua by date of birth is very simple, but for men and women, the formulas for calculating this parameter are slightly different. The common thing in them is that you should first take and add the last two digits of your year of birth on the Chinese calendar. That is, if you were born in January and early February, you should first check in which year you were born - yours or the previous one.
For example, a man was born on February 12, 1964. To find out what numbers he should add, you need to look into the eastern calendar, where it will be said that the Chinese year began on February 13. This means that the person was born in 1963, that is, he will have to add the numbers 6 and 3. But if the person is born on April 2, 1987, he will not have to look at the calendar, but will only need to add the numbers 8 and 7. However, as we see , when these numbers are folded, the number 15 will be obtained, which is two-digit, so now we have to add the numbers 1 and 5 so that the desired number consists of one digit.
Calculation for men and women
However, to find out the number of Gua, simply adding up the last two digits of the year is not enough. After carrying out these actions, you will have to perform another arithmetic operation. If it becomes clear the value of the woman’s parameter, then it will be necessary to add 5 to the number obtained in the first half of the calculation, and if the men, we subtract the desired number from 10. And of course, if after these manipulations we get a two-digit number, we add its two digits to get the value from one digit.
For example, a woman was born on March 6, 1988. First, we add 2 digits of the year: 8 + 8 = 16. Add the digits of the two-digit number: 1 + 6 = 7. Add 5: 7 + 5 = 12 to this number, and then add 1 and 2, we get 3. This will be the number Gua. Moreover, when this number is 5 (which is unacceptable in decoding), then she should interpret it as 8.
Next, we will examine an example with a man born on January 19, 1984. Since the 1984 Chinese calendar began on February 2, it should be assumed that the man was born in 1983. Next, add the numbers of the year of birth: 8 + 3 = 11. We find out the sum of two digits of the resulting number: 1 + 1 = 2. From 10 we subtract the result of addition: 10 - 2 = 8. This figure will be our desired parameter. Like women, men cannot have the number of Gua 5. Therefore, having obtained such a result, they should consider their number sought as a deuce.
Richard Webster's calculation formula
In addition, you can calculate the number of Gua by date of birth in another way. For this, men need to subtract their year of birth from 100, then divide the resulting number by 9, and this figure will be the desired one. If the number is not divisible by 9 completely, then the remainder of the division will be the number we need. For example, a man was born on April 11, 1988. We begin the calculation: 100 - 88 = 12. Next, 12/9 = 1.33, the remainder of the division will be 3, because 9 * 1 = 9, and 12 - 9 = 3. This number will be the one we need.
For women, the formula is completely different. They will need to subtract 4 from the last two numbers of their birth, and divide the total by 9. And again, if the resulting number is integer, then this figure will be the one we are looking for, otherwise we will need the remainder of the division. For example, a woman was born on January 1, 1977, so according to the Chinese calendar we need 1976. We start the calculation: 76 - 4 = 72, 72/9 = 8, which means that this is exactly the number that we need.
Calculation for those born after 2000
However, the preceding formulas are only suitable for those born before 2000. If you want to know the number of Gua of those people who were born after the millennium, then you will have to make other calculations. So, girls born at such a time need to add 6 instead of five to the sum of birth numbers, and for boys - the result of addition will need to be subtracted from 9, and not from 10.
For example, a girl was born on August 3, 2006. By adding 0 and 6, we get the number 6, then we add 6 to it and we get 12. Well, then everything is as usual: 1 + 2 = 3. So, the triple will be our desired result.
And if the guy was born on March 15, 2011, that means adding up the last two digits we get 2. Then we calculate further: 9 - 2 = 7. So it turns out that this number is the one we are looking for.
Characteristics of the eastern group of people
After we were able to calculate the number of Gua, you can find out which group of people you belong to. If these are numbers 1, 3, 4 or 9, then your personality type is oriental. And then it remains only to find out how this affects the character:
- The number 1 gives its owners modesty, the ability to flatter, the lack of ambition, sociability, the ability to find a common language with others, the ability to adapt to any conditions. However, such people are extremely painful and need comfort, without which they become very ill.
- The number of Gua 3 for women and men is good because its owners are distinguished by good health, excellent physical development, optimism, determination and readiness to boldly engage in a battle with problems. However, they often suffer from neurosis and are extremely jealous.
- The number 4 gives its owners good nature and sex appeal. However, such people are extremely scattered, silent, too dependent on others and may have problems in marriage due to a lack of understanding with a partner.
- The number of Gua 9 is good in that its owners are distinguished by self-sufficiency, a sharp mind, amorousness, honesty, a tendency to love fantasies and the fact that they early become interested in the opposite sex. However, they do not know how to save money, are too gambling, tend to criticize everyone and are not able to admit their mistakes.
Western group
If you made the calculation of the Gua number according to the rules and got the number 2, 6, 7 or 8 as a result, then you belong to the Western type of personality, which, of course, also left its mark on your character:
- Number 2 gives its owners softness, tact, the ability to uphold their beliefs, emotionality and devotion. However, such people constantly want to benefit and help others, have a weak digestive system and cannot tolerate alcohol at all.
- Number 6 gives its owners a strong-willed character, a desire for leadership, developed intuition and a penchant for polygamy. However, they suffer from vulnerability of the nervous system, always want to dominate their partner and experience some financial difficulties, especially at an early age.
- The number 7 gives its owners leadership qualities, sexual attractiveness and such a passion for romantic experiments that only true love can make them get married. Such people are not at all patient, cannot complete a single thing, and are distinguished by irritability and emotional instability.
- The number 8 gives its owners determination, remarkable willpower, high self-esteem, self-sufficiency and the ability to achieve their goals. But they can become addicted to gambling, strive to prove to everyone that they are right, and are prone to loneliness.
Favorable orientations of the eastern group of people
After we managed to find out the number of Gua, we can determine where each of us has his happy zone, a constant presence in which will allow us to achieve certain goals:
- For individuals, the zone of career growth and money is in the southeast, health in the east, romance, love and family in the south, and stability and complete peace in the north.
- At triples, the zone of finance and success in business is located in the south, health and well-being - in the north, love, relationships and family well-being - in the southeast, and stability and respect - in the east.
- Fours have a career and financial well-being zone in the north, longevity and health in the south, good relations with relatives and relatives in the east, and prosperity in everything in the southeast.
- Nines have a finance and career zone in the east, good health in the southeast, romance and relationships in the north, stability and tranquility in the south.
Good directions for the western group
If you know your Gua number by date of birth and understand that you are not in the east, but in the west, then you have happy zones in other parts of the world:
- In twos, the career and money zone is in the northeast, health is in the west, romance, love and family are in the northwest, and stability and total peace are in the southwest.
- At sixes, the zone of finance and success in business is located in the west, health and well-being - in the northeast, love, relationships and family well-being - in the southwest, and stability and respect - in the northwest.
- Sevens have a career and financial well-being in the northwest, longevity and health in the southwest, good relations with family and friends in the north-east, and harmony in everything in the west.
- At the eights, the zone of finance and career growth is located in the southwest, good health - in the northwest, romance and relationships - in the west, stability and tranquility - in the northeast.
Adverse Directions
After you have been able to calculate the number of Gua and find out which parts of the world are prosperous for you, special attention should be paid to those parts of the world where you are not good. Naturally, these will be all other zones. That is, those places that were positive for the western group of people will be negative for the eastern group, and vice versa, places favorable for the eastern group will have a negative impact on people from the western group.
But being in a zone of complete collapse has a particularly adverse effect on people, so you should remember once and for all where it is located for the owner of a certain number of Gua. For singles, it is located in the southwest, for twos in the north, for triples in the west, for quadruples in the northeast, for sixes in the south, for sevens in the east, for eights in the southeast, and in nines - in the northwest.
How to use feng shui gua number to improve your life
After determining the personal number of Gua, you should immediately take a compass and determine the parts of the world in your apartment, cottage, place of work and other places where you often visit. And then you need to try not to go into an unfavorable zone so as not to incur trouble, and in favorable zones you should spend as much time as possible. Feng Shui mascots should be placed in these areas. They should be decorated, there you need to put bright objects that will attract your eye.
In addition, then it will be possible to make a rearrangement in the apartment, putting the desktop facing the favorable area, the head of the bed should also be in a positive direction. It would also be nice if the front door was in the area that promises you all the best, and if it is in an unfavorable sector, then you should think about using another door or even attaching a porch so as not to let negativity into the house.
Compromises with colleagues and household
It is also very important to find out the number of Gua of your colleagues and households with whom you live under the same roof or work together. If you and your partners have numbers that belong to the same group, it means that you are completely compatible and your favorable zones will be the same, so you can safely isolate them and enjoy the positive changes in life.
However, if you and your colleagues and family members belong to different groups, then you will have to think about how to stimulate your favorable zone, thereby not harming your partner. To do this, you will need to try to reach a reasonable compromise, perhaps change your room, make a reshuffle, or allocate each of your colleagues or household members their own corner in favorable areas.
