Kua 3 — The Thunder: Your Personal Feng Shui Directions
震 · Zhen · The Thunder. A spark of initiative — fast, expressive, happiest when starting things.
If your personal Kua is 3, you belong to the East Group (东四命 / 西四命). Your four auspicious directions — and four to soften — are fixed. Someone with Kua 6 gets a completely different map. This page is only for Kua 3.
Your four auspicious directions · 四吉位
| Star | Direction | Meaning | Practical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sheng Qi (生氣) | South · S | Wealth & Vitality | Face this way when you work. Ideal for your main door, desk, and where you take action. |
| Tian Yi (天醫) | North · N | Health & Recovery | Best wall for your bed headboard. Supports rest, healing, and a nourishing kitchen. |
| Yan Nian (延年) | Southeast · SE | Love & Relationships | Face here in heartfelt conversations. Strengthens bonds and patience. |
| Fu Wei (伏位) | East · E | Stability & Focus | Calm grounding energy. Great for study, meditation, or steady deep work. |
Your four directions to soften · 四凶位
| Star | Direction | Meaning | Practical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Huo Hai (禍害) | Southwest · SW | Minor Setbacks | Small frustrations gather here. Fine for a hallway or closet — not your bed. |
| Liu Sha (六煞) | Northeast · NE | Stress & Friction | Tension pools here. Avoid sleeping or working facing this direction. |
| Wu Gui (五鬼) | Northwest · NW | Conflict & Instability | Arguments and misplaced things. Best for storage or a bathroom. |
| Jue Ming (絕命) | West · W | Greatest Drain | Most draining direction. Never bed or desk — toilet or storage is fine. |
How to use your Kua 3 directions
For Kua 3, treat directions as action lines — not superstition, but where your body points when you sleep, work, and enter the home.
- Bed: Headboard on the North wall (N) — Tian Yi (天醫) supports recovery and deep sleep.
- Desk: Face South (S) when working — Sheng Qi (生氣) is your strongest wealth-and-action line.
- Main door: If you can choose, an entrance opening toward South or East (E) welcomes supportive energy. Avoid aligning the door with West (W).
- Conversations: Face Southeast (SE) for relationship talks — Yan Nian (延年) softens friction.
