My Feng Shui Home

A calm, honest guide to feng shui for real homes.

Your home is already trying to tell you something.

Most feng shui advice is vague, expensive, or borrowed from a magazine. We do the opposite. We give you the structured version, free where it should be free, and small enough to actually finish tonight.

Start with your Kua number. It is the door into the rest.

What feng shui actually is. And what it isn't.

Feng shui is not a fortune. It is not a way to make money appear. It is not a list of red things to put by your front door.

Here is the honest version.

Feng shui is a structured way of looking at a room. It asks where the door is. Where the bed is. Where the stove is. Where the light comes in. Where the air moves. Where you sit when you work.

Then it gives you a small number of changes to try.

Some of those changes are testable. Better light helps you read. A bed you can see the door from helps you sleep. A clean stove makes you cook more.

Some of them are traditional. The wealth corner. The mirror rules. The five-element pairings. We name those honestly, every time, and we tell you what the evidence does and does not say.

That is the whole deal.

If you want the shortest way in, start with your Kua number. It tells you which four directions in your home are working with you and which four are working against you. It takes ten seconds.

Common questions

Is feng shui real?

Feng shui is real as a structured design method. It looks at where doors, beds, stoves, light, and people sit in a room, then proposes small changes. Some changes are testable design choices. Some are traditional. We name which is which on every page.

Do I have to redecorate?

No. Most useful feng shui moves are tiny. A clean stove. A bulb replaced. A bed turned ninety degrees so you can see the door. The 14-point checklist on this page is finishable in one afternoon and asks for no new furniture.

How is this different from a magazine article on feng shui?

Magazines mix the practical bits with the mystical bits and label nothing. We separate them. You get the structured design version first, the traditional symbolism named honestly second, and a clear note on what the evidence supports.

Do I need to know my birthday for this?

Only if you want your Kua number, which keys the personal direction recommendations. The room walkthrough and the 14-point checklist work without it. You can use the whole free site without sharing a birthday at all.

What is the Kua number?

Your Kua number is a single digit from one to nine based on your birth year and gender. It sorts you into an East or West group and names four directions that traditionally support you and four to avoid. It takes ten seconds to calculate.

Is the site free?

The calculator, the methodology page, the room harmony checklist, and the teaser articles are all free with no account. Saving charts and reading the gated articles is free with an account. The Personal Feng Shui Compass, our personalised guide, is the only paid item.

What is the Personal Feng Shui Compass?

It is a personalised PDF keyed to your Kua number. It reads your East or West group, your four supportive directions and your four cautious directions, with traditional placements for the bed, the desk, and the dining seat, plus a seven-day experiment. It is personalised to your direction profile, the eight directions that follow from your Kua, not to your floor plan. Fourteen dollars, one-time, no subscription.

What about Western feng shui versus Classical feng shui?

Both are used by working practitioners. Classical schools use a compass and birth data. Western BTB uses the front door as the reference. We teach the Classical Compass School (which produces your Kua number) and we link both methods in the methodology page.

We do not promise outcomes. Feng shui is a structured design tradition, not a prediction. We tell you which moves the evidence supports, which moves are traditional, and which moves are simply preference. If we do not know, we say so.

The Kua calculation runs in your browser. Anonymous use stays anonymous. Anything you save to an account is stored on Supabase and is deletable at any time from your account page.
