In order to properly equip your home and improve your life, it is very important to know the Gua number, which is individual for each of us. It is very easy to calculate it. It will be enough to perform a few arithmetic operations.
Why do you need to know the meaning of a number
According to Chinese teaching, the Gua number is a value that allows you to harmoniously combine your personal qi energy with the same energy of the entire space and people around you. In the teachings of Feng Shui, the formula that allows you to calculate this parameter is considered the most effective and significant among many. After all, only knowing our personal number, each of us will be able to determine our unfavorable and favorable directions.
And when we know which parts of the world are dangerous for us, and which ones are vice versa, it will be possible to arrange our lives in such a way that we spend most of our time in our element, thereby attracting good events to ourselves and repelling bad ones. In addition, after determining your number, you can find out about your character, as well as the personal traits of your relatives and friends, whichwill allow you to find out which of them you are combined with and which are not.
Starting calculation
Determining the number of Gua by date of birth is very simple, however, for men and women, the formulas for calculating this parameter are slightly different. What they have in common is that you must first take and add the last two digits of your year of birth according to the Chinese calendar. That is, if you were born in January and early February, you should first check in which year you were born - yours or the previous one.
For example, a person was born on February 12, 1964. To find out what numbers to add, you need to look at the eastern calendar, where it will be said that the Chinese year began on February 13th. This means that a person was born in 1963, that is, he will have to add the numbers 6 and 3. But if a person is born on April 2, 1987, then he will not have to look at the calendar, but will only need to add the numbers 8 and 7. However, as we see, adding these digits will result in 15, which is a two-digit number, so now we have to add the numbers 1 and 5 to make the desired number consist of one digit.
Calculation for men and women
However, to find out the Gua number, simply adding the last two digits of the year is not enough. After the implementation of these actions, you will have to perform one more arithmetic operation. If the value of the woman’s parameter is found out, then 5 will need to be added to the number obtained in the first half of the calculation, and if men, the desired number is subtracted from 10. And naturally, if after these manipulations we get a two-digit number, we will add it twodigits to get a value from a single digit.
For example, a woman was born on March 6, 1988. First, we add 2 digits of the year: 8 + 8=16. Add the digits of a two-digit number: 1 + 6=7. Add 5 to this number: 7 + 5=12, then add 1 and 2, we get 3. This will be the number Gua. Moreover, when this number is equal to 5 (which is unacceptable in decryption), then she should interpret it as 8.
Next, let's look at the example of a man born on January 19, 1984. Since according to the Chinese calendar 1984 began on February 2, it should be assumed that the man was born in 1983. Next, add the digits of the year of birth: 8 + 3=11. Find out the sum of the two digits of the resulting number: 1 + 1=2. Subtract the result of addition from 10: 10 - 2=8. This figure will be our desired parameter. Like women, men cannot have a Gua number of 5. Therefore, having received such a result, they should consider two as their desired number.
Richard Webster's formula
In addition, you can calculate the number of Gua by date of birth in another way. For this, men need to subtract the year of their birth from 100, then divide the resulting number by 9, and this figure will be the desired one. If the number is not completely divisible by 9, then the number we need will be the remainder of the division. For example, a man was born on April 11, 1988. We start the calculation: 100 - 88=12. Next, 12 / 9=1, 33, the remainder of the division will be 3, because 91=9, and 12 - 9=3. This number will be the one we need.
Women have a completely different formula. They will need from the last twosubtract 4 from the numbers of your birth, and divide the result by 9. And again, if the resulting number is an integer, then this figure will be what we are looking for, otherwise we need the remainder of the division. For example, a woman was born on January 1, 1977, so according to the Chinese calendar, we need 1976. Let's start the calculation: 76 - 4=72, 72 / 9=8, which means that this is exactly the number that we need.
Calculation for those born after 2000
However, the previous formulas are only suitable for those born before the year 2000. If you want to know the number of Gua of those people who were born after the millennium, then you will have to make other calculations. So, girls born at such a time need to add 6 instead of five to the sum of birth numbers, and boys - the result of addition will need to be subtracted from 9, not from 10.
For example, the girl was born on August 3, 2006. By adding 0 and 6, we get the number 6, then add 6 to it and get 12. Well, then everything is as usual: 1 + 2=3. So, the three will be our desired result.
And if the guy was born on March 15, 2011, then by adding the last two digits we get 2. Then we calculate further: 9 - 2=7. So it turns out that this number is the one we are looking for.
Characteristic of the eastern group of people
After we were able to calculate the Gua number, you can find out which group of people you belong to. If these are the numbers 1, 3, 4 or 9, then your personality type is oriental. And then it remains only to find out how this affectscharacter:
- Number 1 endows its owners with modesty, the ability to flatter, lack of ambition, sociability, the ability to find a common language with others, the ability to adapt to any conditions. However, such people are extremely painful and need comfort, without which they become very ill.
- The number of Gua 3 for women and men is good because its owners are distinguished by good he alth, excellent physical development, optimism, determination and willingness to boldly fight problems. However, they often suffer from neurosis and are extremely jealous.
- The number 4 endows its owners with good nature and sexual attractiveness. However, such people are extremely scattered, silent, too dependent on others and may have problems in marriage due to a lack of understanding with a partner.
- The number Gua 9 is good because its owners are distinguished by self-sufficiency, a sharp mind, amorousness, honesty, a penchant for love fantasies and the fact that they begin to be interested in the opposite sex early. However, they do not know how to save money, are too reckless, tend to criticize everyone and are not able to admit their mistakes.
Western group
If you calculated the Gua number according to the rules and got the number 2, 6, 7 or 8 as a result, then you belong to the Western personality type, which, of course, also left its mark on your character:
- Number 2 endows its owners with gentleness, tact, the ability to defend their beliefs, emotionality anddevotion. However, such people constantly want to be useful and help others, have a weak digestive system and do not tolerate alcohol at all.
- Number 6 endows its owners with a strong-willed character, a desire for leadership, developed intuition and a penchant for polygamy. However, they suffer from a vulnerable nervous system, always want to dominate their partner and experience some financial difficulties, especially at an early age.
- The number 7 endows its owners with leadership qualities, sexual attractiveness and such a passion for romantic experiments that only true love can force them to marry. Such people are completely impatient, cannot complete a single task, are irritable and emotionally unstable.
- The number 8 gives its owners determination, remarkable willpower, high self-esteem, self-sufficiency and the ability to achieve their goals. But they can become addicted to gambling, seek to prove their case to everyone and tend to be alone.
Auspicious directions of the eastern group of people
After we managed to find out the Gua number, we can determine where each of us has his happy zone, the constant presence in which will allow us to achieve certain goals:
- Ones have a career and money zone in the southeast, he alth in the east, romance, love and family in the south, and stability and complete peace in the north.
- Triples have a zone of finance and success in business located in the south,he alth and well-being - in the north, love, relationships and family well-being - in the southeast, and stability and respect - in the east.
- For fours, the zone of career and financial well-being is in the north, longevity and he alth - in the south, good relations with loved ones and relatives - in the east, and prosperity in everything - in the southeast.
- At nines, the zone of finance and career growth is located in the east, good he alth - in the southeast, romance and relationships - in the north, stability and tranquility - in the south.
Good destinations for the Western group
If you found out your Gua number by date of birth and realized that you belong not to the east, but to the west, then your happy zones are in other parts of the world:
- For twos, the zone of career growth and money is in the northeast, he alth is in the west, romance, love and family are in the northwest, and stability and complete peace are in the southwest.
- For sixes, the zone of finance and success in business is located in the west, he alth and well-being - in the northeast, love, relationships and family well-being - in the southwest, and stability and respect - in the northwest.
- Sevens have a career and financial well-being zone in the northwest, longevity and he alth in the southwest, good relationships with loved ones and relatives in the northeast, and harmony in everything in the west.
- At eights, the zone of finance and career growth is located in the southwest, good he alth - in the northwest, romanceand relationships - in the west, stability and tranquility - in the northeast.
Bad Directions
After you have managed to calculate the number of Gua and find out which cardinal points are favorable for you, special attention should be paid to those cardinal points, being in which does not bode well for you. Naturally, it will be all other zones. That is, places that were positive for the western group of people will be negative for the eastern group, and vice versa, places that are favorable for the eastern group will have a negative impact on people from the western group.
But a particularly adverse effect on people is being in the zone of complete collapse, so you should remember once and for all where it is located for the owner of one or another Gua number. For ones, it is located in the southwest, for twos - in the north, for threes - in the west, for fours - in the northeast, for sixes - in the south, for sevens - in the east, for eights - in the southeast, and nines - in the northwest.
How to use the Feng Shui Gua number to improve life
After determining the personal number of Gua, you should immediately take a compass and determine the parts of the world of your apartment, cottage, place of work and other places where you often visit. And then you need to try not to enter the unfavorable zone, so as not to invite trouble on yourself, and you should spend as much time as possible in favorable zones. Feng Shui talismans should be placed in these areas. They should be decorated, there you need to put bright objects thatwill catch your eye.
In addition, later it will be possible to rearrange the apartment, placing the desktop facing the favorable zone, the head of the bed should also be in a positive direction. It would also be nice if the front door was in a zone that promises you all the best, and if it is in an unfavorable sector, then you should consider using a different door or even attaching a porch to keep negativity out of the house.
Compromises with colleagues and household members
It is also very important to know the Gua number of your colleagues and households with whom you live under the same roof or work together. If you and your partners have numbers belonging to the same group, it means that you are completely compatible and your favorable zones will be the same, so you can safely highlight them and enjoy positive changes in life.
However, if you and your colleagues and household belong to different groups, then you will have to think about how to stimulate your favorable zone, thereby not harming your partner. To do this, you will need to try to come to a reasonable compromise, perhaps change your room, make a rearrangement, or give each of your colleagues or household members their own corner in favorable areas.
