Hi,
I was a 1964 male
(1)Kua number "9" , east group of people and auspicious direction are East. South east, north & south based on the Kua formula.
However, from the 4 pillars throey
(1) my heavenly sterm of day of bearth is Metal. "West " is the direction for Metal and the color is white, silver and I am considerd a "Metal" person.
Should my direction be East (kau formula) or West (4 pillar)?
I am very confused and distrubed over this fundamental issue. Appreciate any advise and hlp.
Thanks.

Dear Tervino,
It boils down to time factor:-
1. If one analyses the Eight House Theory carefully, it only considers the YEAR of birth.
2. Thus the Kua numbers under the Eight House Theory takes into consideration house directions based on YEAR of birth.
3. Pillars of Destiny, uses the YEAR, MONTH, DAY and TIME of birth. More advanced Pillars of Destiny considers two more pillars : Pillars of Life and Conception.
Here, the final result or one's final element is considered `more' accurate than the one based on Kua numbers under the Eight House. Thus, in reality, one's Pillars of Destiny's element is theoritically more accurate because of this.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
