In addition to observing and directing the flow of Chi in a bedroom, we can maximize positive energetic input with the calculation of the most beneficial sleeping direction. Sleeping direction, in this context, refers to the direction a person’s head points to while lying in bed. A person’s most beneficial direction is equally applicable to the position of one’s desk or any other area where a person spends a concentrated amount of time.

Derived from the COMPASS SCHOOL, there are 8 separate compass directions to consider: four major ones (North, South, East, West), and four minor ones (NorthEast, NorthWest, SouthEast, SouthWest). Depending on a person’s date of birth within the repeating cycles of creation, the specific energies of one’s beneficial compass directions are supportive while the others are weakening. These directions are encompassed in two groups: The EAST GROUP and the WEST GROUP.
.
The EAST GROUP includes N, S, E and SE, the WEST GROUP covers W, NW, SW and NE. All four directions of one group are therefore supportive, while the four of the other group are considered challenging.

Calculate your personal Ming Gua Number:
- When determining your personal number, it is important to remember that the Chinese New Year begins around the 4th or 5th of February. Any birthday before then, e.g. the 31st of January 1967 counts as the year before, i.e. the Chinese year of 1966. Only after February 5th is the year counted as it actually is.
- If someone is born just at the time of the Chinese year change there is no quick solution. Please consult a book with detailed tables and lists with the exact time of change of the specific year in question.
- Once we have found the correct Chinese year we may then accurately calculate a person’s most beneficial direction following these specific steps, with different formulas for male and female.
.
Calculation for a male person:
- Add the last two numbers of the Chinese year of birth (after Feb. 4th or 5th) until you get a one digit sum.
- Subtract the result from 10 if born before the year 2000; subtract from 9 if born after 2000.
- If the result is 5, the final number is 2 = “Kun” = SW.
Example 1: birthday: July 9th 1957, male
5 + 7 = 12, 1 + 2 = 3
10 – 3 = 7
Final number is 7 = “Dui” = W
.
Example 2: birthday: January 18th 2002, male
Jan 18th is still the year 2001 in Chinese calculations!!
0 + 1 = 1
9 – 1 = 8
Final number is 8 = “Ken” = NE
.
Calculation for a female person:
- Add the last two numbers of the Chinese year of birth (after Feb. 4th or 5th) until you get a one digit sum.
- Add 5 to that number if born before the year 2000 or add 6 if born after 2000.
- If the result is 5 the final number is 8 =”Ken” = NE.
Example 3: birthday March 7th 1961, female
6 + 1 = 7
7 + 5 = 12, 1 + 2 = 3
Final answer is 3 = “Zhen” = E
.
Example 4: birthday: September 14th 1990, female
1990 + 5 = 1995
9 + 5 = 14; 1 + 4 = 5
Special rule: 5 turns to 8 (with female calculation)
Final answer is 8 = “Ken” = NE

Find your personal number in the table below to locate your best directions:
- The first 4 directions (lines A to D) all carry supporting energies.
- Line A shows the most YANG direction, the most active and the strongest for a desk at work.
- Line D shows the most YIN energy direction carrying more peaceful and calm energy. This is optimal for a good night's sleep. Small children instinctively turn in their sleep, orienting themselves towards their ideal direction. However, don’t forget that Geopathic Stress zones must be avoided because of their toxic nature.
- Lines E through H are the challenging directions bringing restlessness into sleeping areas and fatigue and inability to focus into working environments.
