The 8 Mansions House Kua formula is only a small part of the complete Feng Shui survey, and are used alongside other Feng Shui Compass School methods such as the Flying Stars. It’s a simple and easy to do calculation that shows the best locations on a basic level. The findings are quite rigid. Using the 8 Mansions alone will not provide a detailed analysis of your surrounding environment, as there are so many other influences.

Personal Kua Number

In Feng Shui 8 Mansions, the formula is calculated using the Site Mountain of the property, your year of birth and gender. It’s the simplest Feng Shui calculation to do. Each date of birth is 1 of 9 different Kua numbers. This method looks at how your personal Kua number relates to the property, advising the most favourable and unfavourable sectors for an individual person.

Caveat: The Personal Kua analysis is not to be confused with using the House Kua calculations for room placement, as conflicting results for each member of the family would occur. For room placements, only House Kua analysis is used.

Please note

• This Eight Mansions method is where Feng Shui and Personal Astrology collide.
• The Eight Mansions are not related to new age Feng Shui systems known as the Eight Life Aspirations or Eight Life Stations. These are not recognised as classical Feng Shui methods.
