Kua 8 Gen — 24 mountains reading

Kua 8 (Gen) people are West Life Group — born under the Gen trigram (earth, northeast). Thrive in NE / SW / W / NW facing properties; should avoid N / E / SE / S.

Voice constraint: the cell pages describe each mountain’s Eight Mansions read for Kua 8 people. They do not teach the procedure for taking a compass reading on your property, computing your kua from birth year, or integrating with the Xuan Kong period chart. For chart-aware reading on your specific property, book a feng shui audit.

Frequently asked questions

What is a personal kua and how does it work?

A personal kua is one of 8 trigrams (1 Kan, 2 Kun, 3 Zhen, 4 Xun, 6 Qian, 7 Dui, 8 Gen, 9 Li — there is no Kua 5; people with computed kua=5 use Kua 2 if male or Kua 8 if female) computed from birth year and gender. The kua sorts people into the East Life Group (kuas 1, 3, 4, 9) or the West Life Group (kuas 2, 6, 7, 8), and Eight Mansions doctrine reads each group’s 4 favourable + 4 unfavourable octants accordingly. Kua 8 (Gen) belongs to the West Life Group.

Which mountains are favourable for Kua 8 Gen?

Kua 8 has 4 favourable octants under Eight Mansions: NE (Fu Wei 八宅), SW (Tian Yi 八宅), W (Sheng Qi 八宅), NW (Yan Nian 八宅). Each octant contains 3 of the 24 mountains, so 12 of the 24 mountains are classically favourable for Kua 8 on octant grounds. The other 12 fall in unfavourable octants. Specific-mountain refinements (polarity, san he, mountain type) within each octant produce further nuance during a full audit.

Should I avoid the unfavourable mountains entirely?

Eight Mansions is one of four inputs into a complete feng shui audit. A property in an ‘unfavourable’ mountain on Eight Mansions grounds may still be excellent overall if the period chart (Xuan Kong) is strong, the compass facing is at a forgiving boundary, or the layout corrects the friction. Conversely, a property in a ‘favourable’ mountain can read poorly if the period chart is hostile or layout problems amplify the friction. Use this directory to recognise the Eight Mansions baseline; book an audit to integrate the four inputs.
