Kua 3 Living Room — Social Energy Toward Southeast

Core placement advice

Kua 3 (Zhen · The Thunder) hosts and connects through Yan Nian (延年) toward Southeast (SE). Anchor the main sofa so seated guests face Southeast — Yan Nian (延年) softens friction in family talk. For Kua 3, social energy lives in Southeast; Kua 9 uses North instead.

Do not back the primary sofa toward West (W). If the TV wall is fixed on West, add a solid console or heavy backing. Use the Southeast corner for gatherings; park storage on East (E) rather than West.

For one-on-one talks, angle chairs toward Southeast (SE) when Southeast is crowded — still within your lucky set, unlike a generic "south-facing sofa" tip.

Your Kua 3 direction map

• Sheng Qi (生氣): South (S) — wealth & action
• Tian Yi (天醫): North (N) — health & recovery
• Yan Nian (延年): Southeast (SE) — relationships
• Fu Wei (伏位): East (E) — stability
• Jue Ming (絕命): West (W) — avoid for bed/desk/sofa

Directions to avoid

West (W) carries Jue Ming (絕命) for Kua 3 — the most draining bearing in your personal map. Long exposure here in the living room affects sleep quality, income focus, or household tension depending on room use. Toilet, closet, or utility placement on West is fine; active body alignment is not.

In 2026, West also hosts star 4 (Four Green) — double reason to keep beds, desks, and sofas off this axis when you can.

2026 overlay on your best direction

Your best bearing Southeast (SE) hosts annual star 1 (One White / 一白) in 2026. Annual star supports your personal bearing — activate with the matching element (water, metal, earth, or fire accents).
