Questions Asked by Readers

I have seen couple of different version for calculating a person's kua number. Most of them take the person's birth year. However, I have seen some formula that say if a person is born before February 4th then use the previous year of the birth year, for ex: if I was born Feb 3, 1974 then I should use year 1973 to calculate the kua number instead of 1974. So my question is which formula is more correct in this situation?

McFengshui vs. Real Feng Shui

No two houses are alike!

In McFengshui, your house is like my house, and our houses are just like the White House, Windsor Castle, and the Taj Mahal, along with every Wal-Mart on the planet, horse barns, slaughterhouses, and refugee camps— all these structures have fame corners, wealth corners, etc., and in the same places.

However, traditional feng shui acknowledges that

  • Your house probably doesn’t look anything like my house, or a tent in a refugee camp, or the Taj Mahal
  • Your house may not be the same size as my house or the White House
  • Your house is not oriented the same way as mine, or a tent in a refugee camp, or Windsor Castle
  • None of these structures have the same layouts, either
  • Your house exists in another part of the world
  • Your house was not built at the same time as mine or Windsor Castle, or built by the same people in just the same way, or with the same construction materials and methods
  • Your house may not have burned, like the White House and Windsor Castle, and been rebuilt

Traditional feng shui points out that your house and my house are far more likely to be different. And our houses are also different from Wal-Marts everywhere, the Taj Mahal, the White House, Windsor Castle, and a tent in a refugee camp.

The one thing they all have in common is that they were constructed by humans at some point in time. Yet McFengshui treats all of these structures the same, no matter what.

Traditional feng shui holds the radical notion that the buildings were built by different people in different parts of the world at different times for different purposes, and have all had unique “lives,” so they should be individually inspected and treated as individuals!

What’s the big reason for treating all buildings the same?

It’s easier for anyone to make money doing McFengshui. Real feng shui is harder to learn, takes longer to learn and to put into use. (Compare a copy of “Feng Shui for Dummies” with “Complete Idiot’s Guide to Feng Shui.”)
