HOW TO CALCULATE YOUR PERSONAL KUA NUMBER

The Kua Formula

  1. Take your (Chinese Lunar*) year of Birth
  2. Add the last two digits
  3. If the result is more than 10, add the two digits to reduce them to a single number.
  4. Males: Subtract from 10; Females: Add 5.** If the answer is 0, use 9.
  5. The answer is your Personal Kua Number.

*The Chinese Lunar Calendar has the New Year starting on a different date each year. If you were born in the months of March – December, the year of birth is the same as the Western calendar. If you were born in January or February, check a Chinese Lunar Calendar for your accurate year of birth.

If you don't have access to a lunar calendar, e-mail your birthday (Month/Day/year) to FengShuiBoston@aol.com for a complimentary calculation of your Kua Number.

**If born after 2000, boys deduct from 9 (instead of 10) and girls add 6 (instead of 5).
