Xuan Kong Da Gua reads the building. The pair of hexagrams, their shared 卦運 and the period verdict come from the facing bearing and the calendar alone, so everyone who lives or works in a building has the same reading. That is a feature of the method, not a gap in it — and it is why person-level questions belong to other systems.
One building, one reading
Two people in the same house get the same facing hexagram, the same sitting hexagram, the same 卦運 and the same verdict for the period. Nothing about a birth date changes it. KAXANTA therefore shows the Xuan Kong Da Gua reading under your home, not under you, and reads it the same way for everyone who saves that home’s facing.
Personal hexagrams
Some lineages also assign a person their own hexagram from their birth data and weigh it against a building’s. The methods for doing so differ between teachers, and the sources consulted for KAXANTA do not agree on one, so KAXANTA does not compute a personal hexagram and makes no claim about matching people to rooms by hexagram. A page that promises “your birth hexagram” should say which lineage’s rule it uses.
Where person-level questions go instead
For which directions suit you as a person — which way to face at a desk, where to put the head of a bed — the Eight Mansions method (Ba Zhai) uses your Kua number, and KAXANTA reads it in Feng Shui. For timing in your own life, Ba Zi and Zi Wei Dou Shu read your birth chart. Xuan Kong Da Gua sits beside them as the reading of the structure you live in: its standing in the current period, and how precisely its facing has been measured.
