How to Use the Bed Direction Chart
To use this chart effectively, you need to know your Kua number, which is calculated based on your birth year and gender. Once you have your Kua number, you can refer to the chart to find out your optimal sleeping directions. These directions are categorized into best, good, neutral, and worst, depending on the alignment with your personal energy.
Kua Number Chart
Here is the chart to find your Kua number based on your birth year and gender. Use these to determine your best and worst directions for bed placement. The result of the first chart (your Kua number) will give you the directions in the next chart.

Best and Worst Directions Chart
Once you have your Kua number, you can use the following chart to find the best and worst directions for your bed placement. Aligning your bed with these directions can significantly enhance the flow of positive energy in your sleep space.

Best Practices for Bed Placement
Position Your Bed for Optimal Energy Flow: Ensure your headboard is against a solid wall for stability and support while you sleep. This positioning symbolizes support in your life and career. Avoid aligning the bed directly with the door, as this can lead to disruptive energy flows.
Avoid Obstructions: Keep the area under and around your bed free of clutter. Storage beds can block energy flow, which is essential for relaxation and rejuvenation. A clear space around your bed helps maintain a smooth circulation of energy.
Choose Suitable Colors: The color of your bedroom should complement the directional focus of your bed. Earthy or neutral tones are generally recommended for harmony and balance. These colors promote a calming environment conducive to restful sleep.
Enriching Your Sleep Space
Incorporate these related Feng Shui principles into your bedroom:
Chinese Practice: Embrace the broader Chinese practices of Feng Shui by considering the overall layout of your home and how it impacts your bedroom.
Sleep Space: Make your sleep space a sanctuary. This means not only placing your bed correctly but also considering the overall ambiance of the room.
Bed Facing: Experiment with different bed facings based on your Kua number to find the most beneficial alignment for your sleep and health.
Common Feng Shui Mistakes to Avoid
Avoid Beams, Soffits, and Sloped Ceilings: These architectural features can create unnecessary pressure above your bed. Conceal them with fabric or paint them to blend with the ceiling.
Do Not Place Bed Under Window: Ideally, your bed should not be directly under a window as this can disrupt your sleep.
Clear Space Under Bed: Avoid placing items under your bed. A clear space ensures free flow of energy around your bed, promoting better rest.
