Buying
a New Car? Use Feng Shui to Select Your Success
Color
by: Kathryn Weber
With
September’s arrival comes the annual car buying
season. But while selecting the type of car comes
easily to most people, making a decision on the
color of a car can be a stumbling block. Some
people simply go with their favorite color, while
others mull over color choices by considering
factors such as climate, type of vehicle use,
or the most practical choice, going with what
is least likely to show dirt. But what if even
that fails? Then try feng shui. Yes, feng shui,
the Chinese guide used for arranging homes and
offices, can also be used for selecting colors
based on an individual’s own personal feng shui.
According
to personal feng shui, each person has an individual
feng shui number that is based on gender and date
of birth. This number, also called a “kuaé
number is associated with a color. By selecting
the correct color for an individual’s particular
feng shui number, the driver will experience better
luck over all because the color is harmonized
with that individual.
Use
personal feng shui to select a “successé color,
which can be helpful when buying that luxury sedan.
More into soccer practice than boardrooms? Choose
a “familyé color. Both colors are determined
by the driver’s kua number. To determine the
driver’s kua number, and subsequently the color
of car that is appropriate, use the instructions
below and then check the chart that follow for
selecting a success or family color. Now, who
should drive the Mary Kay pink Cadillacs? Anyone
with a number 3 kua number!
The
calculation is as follows:
-Take
the year of birth, i.e., 1971
-Add the last two years together (7+1=8)
For men, subtract the number from 10 (10-8+2);
2 is the kua number
For women, add 5 to the number (5+8=13; 1+3= 4);
4 is the kua number
For years such as 1982 which have a double digit,
be sure to reduce to one number
8+2=10 (1+0=1)
10-1=9 (Kua for men)
5+1=6 (Kua for women)
