Family Compatibility

Your home + your family
is the real reading

· 가족 · Gia đình

A house scores one way. A family inside that house scores differently. We compute both — and tell you which rooms work for whom.

How each person scores against this home

The home alone scores in the Strong tier across all three traditions (81 · 73 · 77). Family compatibility re-runs every per-person rule against each member's chart — group alignment, bedroom + bed-head against the personal Kua, BaZi five-element overlap with the home's signature, kitchen-stove mouth orientation, and a dozen more. Each card below is what one member sees on their dashboard.

DavidSelf

Kua 4 · East group (東四命) · Horse · Earth

Group match

Your kitchen is in one of your personally unfavorable sectors — and Fire is the great amplifier in feng shui. Chinese Eight Mansions reads the kitchen in the NE sector as your Kua 4's Calamity (絕命) direction. Of the eight directional qualities, classical practice considers Jue Ming (絕命) at the kitchen a serious placement because Fire amplification works against your strongest unfavorable direction.

CindySpouse

Kua 8 · West group (西四命) · Rooster · Metal

Opposite group

Your home's elemental signature amplifies the very element your BaZi destiny most needs to drain — a foundational personal-environmental friction. Chinese BaZi calls this harmful-god excess: your Day Master is Water (水) (strong), and your harmful god (忌神 — the element your chart most needs to reduce) is Metal (金). The home's Five Elements signature is rich in Metal (金) — it is over-represented.

MinaChild

Kua 9 · East group (東四命) · Dragon · Water

Group match

Your front door is bringing qi in through one of your personally unfavorable directions. Chinese feng shui flags this as a personal door misalignment: the door faces W, which is your Kua 9's Turmoil (五鬼) direction.

Mina's four favorable directions

  • North · 坎Harmony (延年)

SamChild

Kua 2 · West group (西四命) · Snake · Water

Opposite group

Your personal birth-energy and your home belong to opposite classical “groups” — a foundational mismatch. Chinese feng shui calls this East/West group mismatch: your Kua 2 is West group, while the home's sitting trigram is East group.

Sam's four favorable directions

  • Northeast · 艮Prosperity (生氣)

Each member is placed in their personal sheng-qi (生氣) sector in this fixture — what a Premium reading recommends after a classical consultation. Real-world placements vary; the engine scores either way.

From scores to moves

How each person improves their fit

A score is only useful once you know what to do with it. For each member, the reading picks the single most useful next step — a classical adjustment, a better room to move into, or, when no rearranging will close the gap, an honest account of why.

  1. David Reorient the stove mouth to face your Sheng Qi or Tian Yi direction (see stove-mouth rule); this is the most effective partial cure when the kitchen location cannot move. Add Water-element accents near the stove, such as a small plant or blue/black tones, to buffer Fire's amplification of this sector. Keep this placement in mind if the home is ever renovated.
  2. Cindy Drain the harmful element through interior placement. Avoid amplifying Metal (金) décor (limit brass / copper / silver objects, white/grey tones); introduce the controlling element (Fire (火)) through furniture and palette tones in the central living area. Your bedroom especially benefits from prioritizing your useful god Wood (木) in colors and materials, since you spend your most concentrated hours there.
  3. Mina Place a small mirror inside the entry, angled to redirect incoming qi away from the living area. Flank the entry with two upward-growing plants; Wood element moderates the unfavorable sector. Water-element accents — a small fountain or blue/black tones at the entry — soften Liu Sha and Wu Gui energy specifically.
  4. Sam Within this home, prioritize placing your bedroom in your personal Sheng Qi, Tian Yi, or Yan Nian sector; this partially compensates for the group mismatch. Fine-tune by directing the bed-head toward Sheng Qi or Tian Yi. If the mismatch coincides with several other unfavorable placements, consider a practitioner for a layered remediation plan.

  • Six life-domain breakdown

Room-by-room guidance

Each occupant has four favorable sectors (길방 / 吉方); among those four, one is classical sheng-qi (生氣) — the strongest single direction. Premium reading surfaces this as a specific room assignment, not generic advice.

  • David — best-sector heading North (生氣 sheng qi · wealth + vitality). Bedroom positioned so the bed-head wall faces this sector; desk and study chair likewise.
  • Cindy — best-sector heading Southwest (生氣 sheng qi · wealth + vitality). Bedroom positioned so the bed-head wall faces this sector; desk and study chair likewise.
  • Mina — best-sector heading East (生氣 sheng qi · wealth + vitality). Bedroom positioned so the bed-head wall faces this sector; desk and study chair likewise.
  • Sam — best-sector heading Northeast (生氣 sheng qi · wealth + vitality). Bedroom positioned so the bed-head wall faces this sector; desk and study chair likewise.
"In a mixed-group household, never force every bedroom into the same sector. Honor each occupant's chart in their own room; the shared spaces — kitchen, living room, dining — follow the head-of-household alignment."

Action items

  1. 1.Assign each bedroom by the personal-best direction in the table above.
  2. 2.Master suite bed-head wall and stove-mouth direction should follow the head-of-household's Kua; both already align with the home's facing in this fixture.
  3. 3.Keep classical balance in shared spaces — wood element accents (live plant, wooden bowl) soften the metal-water dominance from the lake.
  4. 4.Annual review of the four-member chart on Lunar New Year — every member's 流年 (yearly luck pillar) shifts; the home's facing does not.
