Kua 8 Living Room — Social Energy Toward West
Core placement advice
Kua 8 (Gen · The Mountain) hosts and connects through Yan Nian (延年) toward West (W). Anchor the main sofa so seated guests face West — Yan Nian (延年) softens friction in family talk. For Kua 8, social energy lives in West; Kua 9 uses North instead.
Do not back the primary sofa toward Southeast (SE). If the TV wall is fixed on Southeast, add a solid console or heavy backing. Use the West corner for gatherings; park storage on Northeast (NE) rather than Southeast.
For one-on-one talks, angle chairs toward West (W) when West is crowded — still within your lucky set, unlike a generic "south-facing sofa" tip.
Your Kua 8 direction map
- Sheng Qi (生氣): Southwest (SW) — wealth & action
- Tian Yi (天醫): Northwest (NW) — health & recovery
- Yan Nian (延年): West (W) — relationships
- Fu Wei (伏位): Northeast (NE) — stability
- Jue Ming (絕命): Southeast (SE) — avoid for bed/desk/sofa
Directions to avoid
Southeast (SE) carries Jue Ming (絕命) for Kua 8 — 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 Southeast is fine; active body alignment is not.
In 2026, Southeast also hosts star 1 (One White) — double reason to keep beds, desks, and sofas off this axis when you can.
2026 overlay on your best direction
Your best bearing West (W) hosts annual star 4 (Four Green / 四綠) in 2026. Four Green (四綠) is mixed — fine for study nooks; moderate plants, not a conflict with personal stars.
