How this calculation works
We use the solar-year convention for Eight Mansions, with the new year beginning at Li Chun in early February. January and 1 February use the preceding year; dates from 7 February use the current year. For 2–6 February, we show both possible charts because the exact transition, birth time and birthplace need checking.
The male formula reduces 11 minus the digit sum of the full solar birth year. The female formula reduces 4 plus that sum. A result of 5 is read as 2 for the male calculation and 8 for the female calculation. These equivalent full-year formulas also cover births from 2000 onwards.
This is a personal direction chart with north at the top, not a live compass or a complete assessment of your home. Traditional associations are guidance, not guarantees.

Your Bagua map
Explore the compass directions, five elements, colours, shapes, numbers and traditional life-area associations in one colourful guide.
Use it as a reference alongside a compass and your floor plan. The Bagua map describes sectors of a space; your Kua number describes personal directions. They offer different layers of a wider Feng Shui assessment.
Turn the map to read any sector upright. Choose an area or use the rotation buttons, then zoom in for a closer look.
