Eight Houses School (Ba zhai pai) is one of the basic and easiest formula in feng shui. It is like learning the alphabets but alphabets are important.
In the Eight house school (Ba zhai pai) of feng shui the kua number is used to derive the four auspicious and inauspicious location of a house and direction of a person and the house. In this article I am writing about the personal directions. A person can use these directions to achieve the best that life has to offer him or her.
What does a kua number represent?
Many times amongst my colleagues and clients I have heard people either saying or asking "My kua no is 1" or "What is my kua number?"
Most of us know how to derive the kua number, the formula can be found in almost every feng shui book. The kua number is the number of the trigram it represents in the later heaven sequence. There are 9 numbers, which are called kua numbers, respectively 1-9. Each number represents a trigram and the attributes of that particular trigram.
Does it mean that it totally defines a person? No it does not; it is just one aspect of the person like the zodiac sign (sun sign) of a person but our entire horoscope comprises of other aspects like the moon sign,the ascendants and the position of other planets. These other aspects affect us. To further explain it, it can be said that not all Capricorns fall in love the same day nor are all Aries eccentric. Although the basic trait does exist it differs from person to person.

The Eight Houses feng shui formula gives the four auspicious and inauspicious location and direction of a person. What do we do once we derive the directions and location?
It is essential to know the difference between location and direction. Location represents the area and direction represents where one is facing. In case of bed head - facing would mean the direction of the head of the person or the direction towards which one would place the back of the bed, so that when you lie down the direction your head points towards is an auspicious direction.
For example in the diagram given above, the standing person is represented by X and the arrow represents the direction he is facing. Therefore he is located in North and facing the South. ulas.
