What is Kun (Earth)?
Kun (坤) is the trigram of Earth (地·土), seated in the southwest of the Later Heaven bagua; a person whose Life Gua is Kun belongs to the West Four Houses (西四命). Such a person is seen to hold a deep, embracing capacity like the great earth, rich in devotion and gentleness. In a home, the most auspicious direction (Sheng Qi) is the northeast, and the four West-group guas — Qian, Kun, Gen, and Dui — share directions that work auspiciously with one another.
