What is my KUA Numbers?

First of all, you need to know your KUA Number. Here is how you can manually calculate your KUA Number. Alternatively, refer to our 100 Year Chinese Lunar Calendar to find out your KUA Number.

1. If you are born in the year 1954 (Chinese Lunar Calendar) Add the last two digits of your year of birth e.g. 5 + 4 = 9

2. If this sum has two digits, reduce it by adding the two digits again until you arrive at a single digit e.g. 1977 so 7 + 7 = 14; then 1 + 4 = 5

3. For men, subtract the results from 10 e.g. for men born in 1954, it will be 10 - 9 = 1. Thus the KUA number is 1.
For men born in 1977 their KUA number is 10 - 5 = 5

4. For women, add 5 to the results e.g. for women born in 1954, it will be 9 + 5 = 14; then 1 + 4 = 5 so the KUA number is 5.
For women born in 1977 their KUA number is 5 + 5 = 10, then add 1 + 0 = 1.
