Answer here is NO. The Ba Zi shows the Gua Type. Not the Gua number. The number represented in the Gua is actually more related to the position of the Gua to the Flying Star sector where there are 9 sectors, so the 5 which is center is EMPTY.

Eight House there are only 8 Gua Type, thus eight directions.

Whereas the Gua Number depending on which type of calculation method you use, can result in Gua Number from 1 to 9 or even 0.

However, the Gua Number 5 and 0 often have to be related to another one of the Eight Trigrams depending on Male or Female.

Thus, if you use the Ba Zi report, you will find the actual Gua type being shown. If you want to know about the Gua Number, use the Gua Number report in the Members Area. That will identify your Gua Number as 5 which means your luck number is also related to 5.

We have our reasons here for doing and numbering the Kua Type as 1 to 9 where 5 is missing, instead of 1 to 8.

You can do a check on the Gua Number, as it will show you the Gua Number is 5 - Ken / Gen. And if you check the Gua Type on the Ba Zi, it shows Kua Gen, but the Gua Type number is 8 because of it's position and or Gen is considered to us the 2nd Last Gua in the order.

Please note here that our online reports system has been already online for 5 years. It is a system which has been extensive tested and used by us personally.

It uses a different system compared to the forum. So a bug in the forum DOES NOT affect the Reports website. In fact our whole website is fully modular, meaning that a failure in any one section of the website does not affect the other.

There was a bug in the FORUM, simply because the NEW forum interface you are using is COMPLETELY written by me from scratch (last week) instead of using the original one. So when we launched it several days back, there was a few intergration problem, thus resulting some initial difficulties for users to properly login as their own user account, instead of a Guest user.

However, as you can know by now the forum is working perfectly with many of the interface cleaned up. The new FORUM gives you more space since no frame is used. And it is more informative, much easier and contains many cool features in addition to the old frame version. Plus, it allows us to customise the forum even more than the original one.
