If you know your feng shui kua number, you can find out your lucky and unlucky feng shui directions. Based on your date of birth, you have four lucky directions, and four unlucky ones. You are also either in the East or in the West group category.

Basically, the meaning of lucky and unlucky feng shui directions is that you receive better, more auspicious energies from some directions, and inauspicious energies from other directions. Once you know your most auspicious feng shui directions, you will focus on facing them often (especially when working or sleeping); as well as spending more time in those areas of your house.

As always, the best way to apply feng shui is in a wise, balanced and consistent way. Remember, the purpose of feng shui is to empower you with efficient tools to improve the quality of your life, not to fill you with fear.
