Your personal feng shui birth element and your Kua number are two factors that should always be taken into consideration when using feng shui to create a healthy and happy home. How do you put these two feng shui factors together with minimum confusion and maximum results?First of all, it is best to treat these two feng shui pieces of information separately. I suggest to start with finding your own feng shui birth element and using this feng shui info to create a healthy home. You will need to understand the interplay of the five feng shui elements to know which feng shui elements to avoid and which feng shui elements to emphasize. For example, if your feng shui birth element is Fire, you know that Wood and Fire colors are best for your energy, while Water and Earth elements/colors should not be too strong in your space.
Knowing your Kua number will give you insight into your best feng shui directions, meaning which directions nourish you with the most supportive energy. You can benefit from your best directions by facing them throughout the day, for example in your office, as well as by positioning your bed, if possible, to face one of your best feng shui directions.
