By Pramila Paul
How to find your KUA Number:
To calculate your Kua number a Chinese lunar calendar is used. Feng shui uses precise formulas to calculate good and bad directions and locations in a property based on an individual personal information.

The Kua Formula gives the consultant or individual the ability to enhance and protect their personal space using the five-element theory and feng shui Symbolism.
How to calculate a kua number:

The year one is born is essential to calculate this kua number. The calculation of kua number differs in MEN and WOMEN.

When calculating the Kua number

FOR WOMEN :
The last two digits of their year of birth are to be added
For example-
if one is born in the year 1973
the last two digits 73 are added 7 +3= 10 arrive to a single number =1+0 = 1.
NOW ADD 5 TO THIS =(1+5 = 6)
Your kua number is 6.

FOR MEN:
The last two digits of their year of birth are to be added
For example -
if one is born in the year 1970
the last two digits 70 are added 7 +0= 7
NOW SUBTRACT IT FROM 10 = (10 -7 = 3)
Your kua number is 3.

NOTE:
(For those born before the 7th February you must go back a year i.e. if you were born on the 6th February, 1959 you would calculate your Kua number using the year 1958.
