Using Kua 6 at home
Personal directions are most often applied to two pieces of furniture. For the bed, the direction the top of your head points; for the desk, the direction you face while seated. When a household has different Kua numbers, many practitioners prioritise the main earner’s desk and the couple’s shared bed position — House Quest lets you switch profiles to compare.
Direction is only one layer. The room above also checks the bed’s backing and the door line, because a favourable direction with your feet pointing out of the door is still worth reviewing. Open the Demo House to see Kua 6’s directions across every room.
