How the app works it out
The Feng Shui year starts on 4 February, so a birth before that date counts as the previous year. The year's digits are summed and reduced, then a man's Kua is 11 minus that sum and a woman's is 4 plus it, reduced again. Kua 5 has no direction of its own, so men read as Kua 2 and women as Kua 8.
