Which way should your desk face?

Your Sheng Qi (生氣) direction is your best one in the Eight Mansions school. Try facing it when you work.

Each direction listed is that Kua Number’s Sheng Qi (生氣), the best of its four good directions in the Eight Mansions school and the one traditionally used for work and ambition. There is no Kua 5 in this system: men with a 5 use Kua 2, and women use Kua 8. Facing means the direction you look when sitting at the desk.
