Dear Mina,

1. Yes, most likely your Date of Birth that you had used to calculate or determine your Gua (Kua) did not take into consideration the Lunar Calendar.

2. To confirm the calculation, you can visit this url and check the exact Date of Birth:

http://www.3dglobe.com/love/astro.htm

3. Although the above url is about astrology, simply use the date of birth `start' and `end' date of each Lunar year to confirm your manual calculations.

4. For example, after locating your Year of birth, you should be able to see something like: e.g. Date of Birth = 1970 is "17 Feb 1969 to 5 Feb 1970".

5. Where, a person born in 1970 under the Lunar Calendar is a person `born' between 17 February 1969 (first day of Lunar New Year or Chinese New Year for 1970) and 5 February 1970 is the last day of that year)

6. Therefore, for those (especially) born around January or February should take more `precaution' when finding what `animal signs' they are associated with.

7. East/West Group Persons

This is also called Eight House Theory and belongs to one of the two Compass School Feng Shui.

Eight House is more of a static representation unlike it's "sister" concept The Flying Star Feng Shui.

8. It is always advisable to try and understand the following for each of the authentic Feng Shui theories:

8.1. What is the usefulness of this theory?

8.2 What is it's strengths and weakness?

Once we understand what it is; and what it can or cannot do, then we will have said to have a better understanding. And this would result in having a `firm' foundation to better awareness of what is Hocus Pocus and the `real stuff'.

9. The usefulness of this theory is:

- How suitable is the house to the breadwinner?
- It is good to spend time at auspicious sectors.

10. The weakness is that there is really not much we can do if say a sector is the `disaster' or `death' sector. Unlike it's sister - The Flying Star; it cannot relate to the Five Elements concept. Where the Five elements concept, can be used to used to find a `cure' or neutralising agent.

Warmest Regards,
