Numbers 1 and 2
The unit was especially honored in ancient Chinese culture. It was associated with the starry sky, which was considered the birthplace of everything that is on Earth. Also, this number was compared with a sprout that slowly and gradually develops, becoming tall and beautiful.

How to find out your gua number
In addition to the generally accepted meaning of numbers, feng shui implies that each person has their own number of fate, which determines the energy orientation and helps to find their own path in life. This is the number of gua. How to calculate it? For people born before 2000, the following formula applies:
- Find the sum of the last two digits of the year of birth.
- If the number turned out to be double-digit, add its numbers again.
- If you are a man, subtract the single digit from 10.
- If you are a woman, add a single-digit number 5. If the number turns out to be double-digit, add its numbers again.
For those born after 2000, the calculation formula changes slightly:
- Find the sum of the last two digits of the year of birth.
- If the number turned out to be double-digit, add its numbers again.
- If you are a man, subtract the obtained single-digit number from 9 (for 2009, the calculation leads to a zero result, which must be replaced by 9).
- If you are a woman, add 6 to the resulting single digit.
Keep in mind that the number of Gua cannot be equal to 5. If the results of calculations turned out to be such a value, then for women it should be replaced by 8, and for men - by 2.
Also, when calculating, it is worth considering that according to the Chinese calendar, New Year comes in February. Therefore, if your birthday is in January, calculations must be done according to the year preceding the one in which you were born.
