WOMEN 

STEP 1:

If you were born from 1/1 to 2/4, then subtract one from the year of your birth.

 For example, if you were born 2/1/1964 you should count your birth year as 1963. If your birthday is after February 4th of any year, then skip step 1 and go right to step 2.

STEP 2:

Take the last two digits of your year of birth and add them together.  

For example, if you were born in 1974, add 7 and 4 to give 11. 

 If the result is greater than 9, add the digits together, eg 1 + 1 = 2.

 STEP 3:

Add 5 to the number produced in step 2, eg 2 + 5 = 7.

 STEP 4:

If the number is bigger than 9, add the digits together again.

 STEP 5:

If your answer is 5, use Gua number 8.

 STEP 6:

The result is your Gua number.  Now use the Gua number to find your Best Direction.
