Introduction to the Lo Shu Grid
The Lo Shu Grid is a special 3x3 square used in Chinese
numerology to understand how numbers influence life. Each
box in the grid contains a number from 1 to 9, and every row,
column, and diagonal adds up to 15—a number symbolizing
harmony and balance. It was discovered on the shell of a turtle
from the Lo River, making it a mystical and ancient tool. People
use the Lo Shu Grid to reveal strengths, weaknesses, and
patterns in personality, as well as to bring good energy through
practices like feng shui
This simplified introduction gives a kid-friendly focus on
what the grid is, its structure and its purpose. Let me know if
this version aligns with what you're looking for!

Lo-shu Grid
Origin of the Lo Shu Grid: The Tortoise from
the Lo River
A long time ago in ancient China, there was a powerful emperor
troubled by the flooding of the Lo River. No matter what he tried, the
river’s waters kept overflowing, creating chaos for the people. One day,
while he stood by the riverbank, something extraordinary happened—a
giant tortoise emerged from the waters. But this was no ordinary
tortoise.
The emperor and his advisors noticed a strange pattern of dots
on the tortoise’s shell. When they looked closely, the dots
formed a grid-like structure with nine sections, each
containing a unique number. What was even more surprising
was that, no matter how they added the numbers—horizontally,
vertically, or diagonally—the sum always came out to 15. The
emperor believed that this was a divine message, a secret code
from the universe about balance and harmony.
From that moment, the pattern on the tortoise's shell became
known as the Lo Shu Grid, named after the river from which the
13
tortoise had come. The emperor’s scholars began to study this
grid, believing it held the key to understanding the hidden
meaning of numbers and how they influence life.
This story of the tortoise from the
Lo River has been passed down for
generations, not just as a legend
but as the foundation of
numerology and feng shui
practices. It symbolizes the idea
that numbers are more than just
tools for counting—they can unlock
secrets about ourselves and the
world around us.
Historical Significance in Ancient Chinese
Numerology
The Lo Shu Grid is an ancient numerology tool. Chinese scholars
believed that each number in the grid carries a hidden meaning
about life and personality. It was used to study people's traits,
strengths, and weaknesses by analyzing which numbers were
14
present or missing in a person’s grid, based on their birth date.
Connection with Feng Shui and the Five
Elements
The Lo Shu Grid is not just a tool for numerology—it also plays an
important role in feng shui, the ancient Chinese practice of
arranging spaces to attract positive energy (Qi). In feng shui,
each number in the Lo Shu Grid is linked to one of the Five
Elements:
- Wood
- Fire
- Earth
- Metal
- Water
These elements are believed to affect different parts of life, such
as health, wealth, relationships, and personal growth.
Balancing the five elements ensures that energy flows smoothly,
bringing harmony and success.
Each number in the Lo Shu Grid corresponds to a specific
element:
- 1 = Water 15
- 3 and 4 = Wood
- 2, 5, and 8 = Earth
- 6 and 7 = Metal
- 9 = Fire
When people apply the Lo Shu Grid to their living spaces using
feng shui, they aim to activate or balance these elements. For
example, if a person’s grid is missing the number 1 (Water), it
could suggest challenges with communication or flow in life. To
balance this, feng shui practitioners might recommend placing
a fountain or water element in the home.
The Lo Shu Grid also helps people decide where to place objects
in their environment. For example, the direction connected to a
missing element can guide how to decorate a room to enhance
positive energy. This connection between the grid and feng shui
shows how numbers and elements work together to create
balance, well-being, and prosperity.
This blending of numerology and feng shui demonstrates the
ancient Chinese belief that everything in life is
interconnected. When the energy of the elements is properly
balanced, people feel more at peace, creative, and16
successful in their daily lives.
Symbolism of the Number 15 in the Lo Shu
Grid
Below is a visual representation of the Lo Shu Grid. It’s a 3x3
square with numbers from 1 to 9 arranged in a special way. Each
row, column, and diagonal adds up to 15, which symbolizes
balance and harmony.
The Lo Shu Grid
How Every Row, Column, and Diagonal Adds to 15
Rows Columns:
1. Top row: 4 + 9 + 2 = 15 1. First column: 4 + 3 + 8 = 15
2. Middle row: 3 + 5 + 7 = 15 2. Second column: 9 + 5 + 1 = 15
3. Bottom row: 8 + 1 + 6 = 15 3. Third column: 2 + 7 + 6 = 15 17
Symbolism of the Number 15 in the Lo Shu Grid
Diagonals:
1. First diagonal: 4 + 5 + 6 = 15
2. Second diagonal: 2 + 5 + 8 = 15
Why Does the Sum of 15 Matter?
The magic number 15 shows us that all parts of life must work together
in perfect balance. No matter which way you look at the numbers—
across, down, or diagonally—they always add up to the same total. This
teaches us that balance is key in everything. Just like how the numbers
in the grid come together, life works best when thoughts, emotions, and
actions are aligned.
The grid is a logical arrangement that brings a sense of order. Ancient
scholars believed that when everything adds up equally, it creates peace
and stability. This is why the Lo Shu Grid has been a symbol of harmony for
centuries—it shows that the universe operates smoothly when every part is
in the right place.

How to Build and Calculate the Lo Shu Grid
Creating a Lo Shu Grid from someone’s birth date is simple and helps
uncover their strengths, weaknesses, and life patterns. Below is a
step-by-step guide to building the grid, identifying missing or
repeated numbers, and understanding what they mean.
The Lo Shu Grid is a powerful numerology tool used to analyze a
person’s personality, strengths, weaknesses, and life patterns based
on the numbers in their birth date. Below is a step-by-step guide
explaining how to extract numbers from a birth date, use them to fill
the Lo Shu Grid, and interpret the results through missing and
repeated numbers.
20
Step-by-Step Guide to Create the Lo Shu Grid from
a Birth Date
Step 1: Break the Birth Date into Single Digits
- Write the full date of birth and break it into individual digits.
- For example: 7th July 1993 → 07/07/1993
- The digits are: 0, 7, 0, 7, 1, 9, 9, 3
Step 2: Eliminate Zeros (if any)
- The Lo Shu Grid only uses numbers from 1 to 9. Zeros are not
included, so ignore any 0s from the birth date.
- Digits after eliminating 0: 7, 7, 1, 9, 9, 3
Step 3: Understand the Lo Shu Grid Layout The grid follows a fixed
layout where each number from 1 to 9 has its place. Here is the
standard layout
21
How to Build and Calculate the Lo Shu Grid
- This layout never changes.
- Now, place each digit from the birth date into its respective position on
the grid.
- If a number appears multiple times, list it multiple times in the same
box.
Step 4: Insert the Digits into the Grid
Let’s apply this process using the first example: a young man born on
7th July 1993.
Example 1: Young Man Born on 7th July 1993
1. Birth Date: 07/07/1993 Digits (after removing 0s): 7, 7, 1, 9, 9, 3
2. Insert the Digits into the Grid:
Step 5: Identify Missing and Repeated Numbers
22
How to Build and Calculate the Lo Shu Grid
Repeated Numbers:
- 7 appears twice → This suggests strong learning abilities and
introspection, but the person might get stuck in overthinking.
- 9 appears twice → Emphasizes ambition and humanitarian traits, but
could lead to frustration if goals are not met.
Missing Numbers:
- 2, 4, 5, and 8 are missing.
-Interpretation: Missing 2 means the person might struggle with
sensitivity and cooperation. Lack of 5 indicates challenges with
emotional balance, and no 8 may suggest difficulties in handling
discipline.
Interpretation for the Young Man - This young man is likely to have
strong inner reflection and ambition but may face challenges with
emotional connection.
Example 2: Old Woman Born on February 29, 1944
1. Birth Date: 29/02/1944 Digits (after removing 0s): 2, 9, 2, 1, 9, 4, 4
2. Insert the Digits into the Grid:
23
3. Identify Missing and Repeated Numbers
Repeated Numbers:
- 4 appears 2 times → Suggests strong organizational skills but may
lead to rigidity
. - 9 appears twice → Shows ambition and humanitarian tendencies but
could also mean frustration.
- 2 appears twice → Indicates strong sensitivity and the ability to work
well with others.
Missing Numbers: - 3, 7, 5, 6 and 8 are missing.
Interpretation for the Old Woman This woman is very organized and
sensitive, but she may struggle with creativity and flexibility.
Conclusion - By following these steps, you can build a Lo Shu Grid using
anyone’s birth date to gain insight into their strengths and weaknesses.
Repeated numbers highlight areas where the person is naturally strong
but might need balance. Missing numbers reveal traits that may require
extra focus for personal growth.
24
Note: A detailed explanation of what each number means and the impact
of missing numbers will be provided in a later chapter of this book. Be sure
to refer to that section to fully understand the significance of your Lo Shu
Grid results.

3. Structure and Planes of the Lo Shu Grid
The Lo Shu Grid is arranged in a 3x3 square, and each row represents a
different “plane” in life. These planes help us understand how different
areas of our personality and actions come together to shape who we
are. Let’s explore the three main planes in the Lo Shu Grid and what they
mean.
Horizontal Planes in the Lo Shu Grid
Each horizontal row in the Lo Shu Grid focuses on a different part of
life: mental, emotional, and practical. Each of these planes has three
numbers, and together, they help us understand how a person thinks,
feels, and acts.
1. Mental Plane (Numbers 4, 9, 2) - The Mental Plane is the top row of the
Lo Shu Grid, made up of the numbers 4, 9, and 2. This row tells us about
a person’s thinking abilities and how well they can remember things.
Rationality: People with these numbers are usually logical thinkers.
They like to solve problems in a practical way.
Memory: This row also tells us about how good a person is at
remembering information and learning new things.
27
If a person has all these numbers (4, 9,
and 2) present in the top row, they
likely have a strong, active mind and
can think clearly. Missing numbers
may mean they need to work on these
skills.
2. Emotional/Spiritual Plane (Numbers 3, 5, 7) - The Emotional/Spiritual
Plane is the middle row and contains the numbers 3, 5, and 7. This row
shows how a person feels and connects with others on a deeper level.
- Feelings: These numbers reveal how emotional or sensitive a
person may be.
- Instinct: This row also tells us about their inner guidance or “gut
feeling” when making decisions.
If someone has 3, 5, and 7 in this row,
they’re likely to be very in tune with their
emotions and have a strong instinct.
Missing numbers here might suggest
they need to focus more on
understanding their emotions and
connecting with others. 28
Structure and Planes of the Lo Shu Grid
3. Practical/Material Plane (Numbers 8, 1, 6) - The Practical/Material
Plane is the bottom row, made up of 8, 1, and 6. This row focuses on the
practical side of life, like career, money, and everyday success.
Success: These numbers tell us about a person’s drive to achieve
their goals.
Prosperity: They also show how well a person can manage material
things, like money and resources.
Having 8, 1, and 6 in this row means a
person is usually good at managing
practical matters and likely has a
strong sense of ambition. Missing
numbers may mean they could benefit
from working on their planning or
resource management skills.
Together, these three planes create a complete picture of a person’s
mind, heart, and practical life.
Each number in the Lo Shu Grid plays a role in how we think, feel,
and succeed, and when the numbers are all present and balanced,
29
they create a sense of harmony in a person’s life.
Motivation: Their inner drive to reach goals and take on challenges.
Persistence: How consistently they stick to their goals, even when things are
tough.
Discipline: Their ability to stay focused and committed to what they start.
3. Action Plane (Numbers 2, 7, 6) The third vertical row is the Action
Plane, represented by 2, 7, and 6. This row shows how well a person can
put their plans into action and follow through.
Execution: Their effectiveness in turning ideas into reality.
Consistency: How steadily they work on tasks to reach completion.
Follow-through: Their commitment to seeing things through once they
begin.
30
Structure and Planes of the Lo Shu Grid
This style makes it easy to understand how each Vertical Plane
reveals different strengths and abilities, guiding the reader through
thoughts, motivation, and actions in a straightforward way.
Diagonal Planes in the Lo Shu Grid/Golden and
silver rajyogs
In the Lo Shu Grid, there are two important diagonal planes that carry
special meanings. These diagonals are known as the Golden Yog
and Silver Yog. Each of these Yogas (or alignments) reflects different
aspects of success and prosperity in life.
1. Golden Yog (Raj Yog) – Numbers 4, 5, and 6 The Golden Yog is made
up of the numbers 4, 5, and 6 arranged in a diagonal. This alignment is
also known as Raj Yog, which represents fame, wealth, and recognition.
Fame: People with this alignment are likely to become well-known or
respected in their field. They might have strong leadership qualities
and attract attention naturally.
Wealth: The Golden Yog is associated with financial success. Those
with this alignment often have a knack for attracting money and
building wealth over time.
Recognition: Individuals with Raj Yog may achieve status, respect, and
admiration from others.
31
Structure and Planes of the Lo Shu Grid
Having the Golden Yog in one’s Lo Shu Grid is considered a positive
sign. It indicates that the person has the potential to reach high
levels of success and enjoy public recognition.
2. Silver Yog (Rajat Yog or Property Yog) – Numbers 2, 5, and 8 The
Silver Yog, also called Rajat Yog or Property Yog, is formed by the
numbers 2, 5, and 8 arranged diagonally. This alignment focuses on
property, asset management, and stability.
Property: People with the Silver Yog often have a good connection
with property and real estate they may have a natural ability to
acquire or manage property well
. Asset Management: This alignment indicates that the person is skilled at
handling resources and managing their assets carefully. - Stability: Rajat
Yog suggests a stable life with a focus on long-term security, particularly
in terms of financial and material possessions.
The Silver Yog is valuable for anyone looking to build a strong, stable
foundation in life. It suggests that the person has a good sense of
security and resourcefulness.
32
Together, the Golden and Silver Yogas in the Lo Shu Grid provide a
balanced view of success. While the Golden Yog brings fame and
financial growth, the Silver Yog focuses on stability and wise asset
management. Both are considered beneficial alignments that
contribute to a well-rounded, prosperous life.
33
Structure and Planes of the Lo Shu Grid
Vertical Planes in the Lo Shu Grid
The vertical rows in the Lo Shu Grid represent three important aspects of
life: thoughts, will, and actions. Each row provides insight into a different
part of a person’s drive and how they bring ideas to life.
1. Thought Plane (Numbers 4, 3, 8) The first vertical row is the Thought
Plane, represented by the numbers 4, 3, and 8. This row shows a
person’s ability to come up with ideas and how they approach planning.
Creativity: How easily they generate ideas and think outside the box.
Planning: How well they organize thoughts and make future plans.
Vision: The strength of their imagination and ability to see the bigger
picture.
2. Will Plane (Numbers 9, 5, 1) The second vertical row is the Will Plane,
made up of the numbers 9, 5, and 1. This row reflects a person’s inner
34
strength and determination.
35

Importance of Repeated Numbers
(Amplification of Traits)
When a number appears more than once in a person’s Lo Shu Grid, it
amplifies or strengthens the traits associated with that number.
Repeated numbers indicate a strong focus on certain qualities, but
having too many of the same number can sometimes lead to
imbalances.
38
Repeated 1s: Strong independence and leadership, but could lead to
stubbornness or reluctance to accept help.
Repeated 2s: Heightened sensitivity and cooperation, but may result in
being overly dependent or emotional
Repeated 3s: Amplified creativity, but could lead to a lack of focus.
Repeated 4s: Strong organization, but may lead to rigidity.
Repeated 5s: Enhanced adaptability, but could lead to restlessness.
Repeated 6s: Strong sense of responsibility, but may lead to
overprotectiveness.
Repeated 7s: Heightened introspection, but may lead to isolation.
Repeated 8s: Strong ambition, but could lead to materialism.
Repeated 9s: Deep compassion, but may lead to neglecting one’s own
needs.
Impact of Missing Numbers on Personality and
Remedies
In the Lo Shu Grid, each number from 1 to 9 represents specific
personality traits and strengths. When a number is missing in
someone’s grid, it can show an area of life that may need extra focus
or improvement. Missing numbers highlight traits or skills that might be
less developed and can reveal challenges a person might face.
To balance these missing traits, people often use remedies like specific
crystals, colors, and directions. These remedies help to bring more of the
missing number’s energy into a person’s life, supporting personal
39
growth and balance.

Kua Numbers (Angel Numbers) and Life
Paths
In Lo Shu Grid numerology, Kua Numbers, also known as Angel
Numbers, play an important role in understanding a person’s life path
and personal growth. Kua Numbers are calculated from a person’s
birth date and represent key aspects of their character, strengths,
and life direction. Each Kua Number is also linked to specific colors
and traits that support personal development.
1. Calculation of Kua Numbers Based on Birth Date
To find a person’s Kua Number, we follow a few simple steps. The
calculation method differs slightly for males and females, as each
has a unique formula. Let’s look at how to calculate it.
Step-by-Step Calculation for Males and Females :
Add the Year of Birth:
Take the last two digits of the birth year and add them together.
Example: If someone was born in 1994, add 9 + 4 = 13. If the result is a two-
digit number, add those digits together until you get a single digit. For
1994: 1 + 3 = 4
51
Kua Number Formula:
For Males: Subtract the single-digit result from 10.
Example - for a male born in 1994:
10 - 4 = 6.
So, the Kua Number is 6.
For Females: Add 5 to the single-digit result.
If the result is two digits, add them together to get a single digit.
Example for a female born in 1994: 4 + 5 = 9. So, the Kua Number is 9.
Detail Examples
Let’s calculate the Kua Number for a male born on July 7, 1993, and
a female born on February 29, 1994.
Male (1993): Female (1994):
Last two digits: 9 + 3 = 12 Last two digits: 9 + 4 = 13
Simplify: 1 + 2 = 3 Simplify: 1 + 3 = 4
Apply the male formula: 10 - 3 = 7 Apply the female formula: 4 + 5 = 9
Kua Number: 7 Kua Number: 9

Arrows in the Lo Shu Grid
Arrows in the Lo Shu Grid are simply another name for planes. These
are patterns formed by numbers in a row, column, or diagonal. There
are two types of arrows (visit chapter 3 to read about each plane)
1. Arrows of Strength
2. Arrows of Weakness
1. Arrow of Strength in the Lo Shu Grid
The Arrow of Strength in the Lo Shu Grid is simply another name for
planes in the grid. When a row, column, or diagonal pattern forms in
the grid, it is referred to as an Arrow of Strength. These patterns show
strong qualities in a person, like determination, focus, and the ability
to face challenges.
The Arrow of Strength consists of the following planes:
1. Mental Plane (4, 9, 2)
2. Emotional/Spiritual Plane (3, 5, 7)
3. Practical/Material Plane (8, 1, 6)
4. Thought Plane (4, 3, 8)
5. Will Plane (9, 5, 1)
6. Action Plane (2, 7, 6)
62
7. Golden Yog (4, 5, 6)
8.Silver Yog (2, 5, 8)
Note
Note: A detailed explanation of each plane in the Lo Shu Grid is already
provided in Chapter 3. Please refer to that chapter for in-depth insights.
Above graphic showing arrows of mental, emotional , practical planes
2. Arrow of weakness in the Lo Shu Grid
In the Lo Shu Grid, Arrows of Weakness highlight areas where
individuals may face challenges or experience certain vulnerabilities.
These arrows are created by the absence of specific numbers in the
grid, which can lead to traits that may require extra attention and
growth.
.
63
The Arrow of Weakness Consists of the Following Patterns
1. Arrow of Frustration (absence of 2, 5, 8 in Lo Shu Grid): Indicates
frequent setbacks and struggles in achieving goals.
2. Arrow of Loneliness (absence of 3, 5, 7): Reflects a lack of
emotional connection, often leading to isolation or loneliness.
3. Arrow of Confusion (absence of 3, 4, 8): Shows difficulty in
organizing thoughts or long-term planning, often resulting in
disorganization.
4. Arrow of Indecision (absence of 1, 5, 9): Highlights difficulty in
making decisions and a strong desire to be accepted by others.
The Arrow of Frustration (Absence of 2, 5, 8)
The Arrow of Frustration in the Western chart is marked by the
absence of the numbers 4, 5, and 6. In the Eastern interpretation, it
is a diagonal arrow formed by the absence of the numbers 8, 5,
and 2. This arrow indicates many setbacks and frustrations. In the
East, it is regarded as a sign of consistent failure. People who have
this arrow should try to learn from every experience and think
carefully before acting.
64
The Arrow of Loneliness (Absence of 3, 5, 7)
The Arrow of Loneliness consists of the absence of the numbers 3, 5,
and 7 in the center horizontal row. This arrow denotes a lack of
feelings. People with this arrow are so focused on achieving their
goals that they often forget their friends and family, lacking joy,
love, and laughter in their lives. They usually suffer enormously from
loneliness in their old age.
The Arrow of Confusion (Absence of 3, 4, 8)
The Arrow of Confusion is caused by the absence of the numbers
3, 4, and 8 in the chart, occupyingthe left-hand vertical column.
People with this arrow are not logical, methodical, or organized.
They live from day to day, seldom making long-term plans. When
they do, they often sabotage the plans before they bear fruit. -
Western Version: Absence of 3, 5, and 7 – Associated with a lack of
mental clarity and direction.
The Arrow of Indecision (Absence of 1, 5, 9)
The Arrow of Indecision is created by the absence of the numbers 1,
5, and 9 in the center vertical row. No one has had this arrow for the
last 1000 years, but we may start to see it in the 21st century. People
with this arrow have a desperate desire to be accepted and liked.
65
Consequently,
they can be easily led and swayed by others. They find it extremely
hard to stand up for what they believe in, as they want to please
everyone and are unable to express views that others might not
accept.
These Arrows of Weakness indicate areas where individuals
may face particular challenges, helping them to recognize and work
on these traits for personal growth and resilience.
Some Small Arrows worth Knowing
In the Lo Shu Grid, there are some other small planes or arrows that
are worth knowing. These Small Arrows are formed by the
connection of two numbers in the grid and represent specific traits
or tendencies in a person’s life. While not as comprehensive as full
planes, they provide additional insights into personality and behavior.
Detail and Deceit (1,3)
Litigation (3,9)
Peace of Mind (7,9)
Science (1,7)
66
1. The Arrow of Detail and Deceit (1, 3)
The Arrow of Detail and Deceit is formed when the chart contains
both the numbers 1 and 3. This arrow represents an eye for detail
and, in some cases, a tendency toward dishonesty.
- Traits: People with this combination enjoy focusing on details and
may even lean toward perfectionism if there are multiple instances
of these numbers. However, on the negative side, individuals with
this arrow may resort to dishonesty or conceal the truth when it
suits them, often to protect themselves.
2. The Arrow of Litigation (3, 9)
The Arrow of Litigation is created when both 3 and 9 appear in
the chart. This arrow indicates a tendency toward argument and
involvement in disputes.
- Traits: Individuals with this arrow often have a strong inclination
to argue and may frequently find themselves in disputes or
disagreements. If these conflicts escalate, they may even end up
in court, hence the term 'litigation.' This arrow suggests that these
people should learn to manage conflicts constructively to avoid
67
serious disputes.
3. The Arrow of Peace of Mind (7, 9)
The Arrow of Peace of Mind appears when both 7 and 9 are present
in the chart. This arrow represents a calm and confident approach
to life, grounded in strong faith and positivity.
- Traits: People with this combination are generally optimistic,
confident, and have a strong belief that things will work out for the
best. The logical nature of the 9 complements the spirituality of the
7, giving these individuals a balanced and composed outlook that
allows them to rise above challenges with peace and calmness.
4. The Arrow of Science (1, 7)
The Arrow of Science is formed when both 1 and 7 are present. This
arrow reflects a deep interest in the mysteries of the world and a
passion for exploring hidden truths.
- Traits: Individuals with this arrow are often drawn to scientific
studies, especially those that delve into the unknown or
mysterious aspects of the world, such as ocean sciences. Their
curiosity drives them to seek answers and dive deeply into
subjects that intrigue them, sometimes becoming so absorbed
68
in their studies that they lose track of time.

Personality and Compatibility Analysis Using the
Lo Shu Grid
The Lo Shu Grid is a numerology tool used to understand a
person’s personality, strengths, weaknesses, and compatibility
with others. By creating a grid from someone’s birth date, we can
reveal qualities and challenges that shape their life. Let’s explore
how to build a Lo Shu Grid, identify key traits, and understand
compatibility.
Build a Lo Shu Grid from Birth Dates
Building a Lo Shu Grid from a birth date is simple and reveals
valuable insights. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Write Down the Birth Date: Begin with the full date of birth. For
example, if the birth date is July 7, 1993, write it as 07-07-1993.
2. Extract the Digits: Break down the date into single digits. For 07-
07-1993, the digits are 0, 7, 0, 7, 1, 9, 9, 3.
70
3. Place the Numbers in the Grid: in the top left, and so on. - Repeat
numbers if they appear multiple times in the birth date. For 07-07-
1993, the grid might look like this:
99
3 77
4. Observe Missing or Repeated Numbers: Note any missing
numbers (these indicate areas of growth) and repeated numbers
(which strengthen certain traits).
Now Identifying Strengths, Weaknesses, and Challenges
Once the grid is complete, analyze it to identify personality traits,
strengths, and potential challenges.
Strengths: - Arrows of Strength: When three numbers align in a
row, column, or diagonal, they form Arrows of Strength, which reveal
strong qualities. For instance, 1, 5, and 9 in a row form the Arrow of
71
Determination, showing strong willpower.
Repeated Numbers: If a number appears more than once, it
strengthens that quality. For example, multiple 1s indicate strong
leadership and self-confidence.
Weaknesses:
Arrows of Weakness: Missing numbers in a row, column, or
diagonal create Arrows of Weakness, showing areas that may need
improvement. For example, if 3, 5, and 7 are missing, this forms the
Arrow of Loneliness, suggesting challenges in emotional
connection.
Challenges:
Single Missing Numbers: A missing number in the grid points to a
specific challenge. For instance, a missing 2 may indicate difficulty
in expressing emotions. - Combination of Arrows: Sometimes,
certain arrows combined can create unique challenges. For
example, if a person has both the Arrow of Frustration and the Arrow
of Confusion, they may need extra guidance in managing stress
and organizing their thoughts.
72
The Lo Shu Grid not only reveals personal traits but also helps
understand compatibility with others. Here’s how:
-Compare Grids for Compatibility: By comparing the Lo Shu
Grids of two people, we can see complementary traits and
potential conflicts. For example:
- If one person has the Arrow of Willpower (4, 5, 6) and the
other has the Arrow of Emotional Balance (2, 5, 8), they might
balance each other well, with one providing stability and the
other bringing harmony.
- On the other hand, if both have the Arrow of Litigation (3, 9),
they may need to work on managing conflicts constructively to
avoid arguments.
- Identifying Mutual Strengths and Weaknesses: Shared arrows can
strengthen a relationship, while differing arrows can highlight areas
where partners may need to compromise or support each other.
73
- Understanding Emotional Needs: By observing which numbers
are missing or present in each person’s grid, we can better
understand their emotional needs, communication styles, and
life goals, making it easier to build a harmonious connection.
Personality Compatibility for Marriage
and Business Using the Lo Shu Grid
The Lo Shu Grid offers valuable insights into compatibility, helping
individuals understand how their personalities align in
relationships, whether in marriage or business. By examining
specific number combinations and arrows, we can see areas where
two people might complement each other or face potential
challenges. Compatibility analysis in the Lo Shu Grid provides a
unique way to strengthen connections through understanding and
balance.
Compatibility in Marriage -
In marriage, compatibility goes beyond love; it includes
understanding each other’s emotional needs, communication
styles, and life goals. The Lo Shu Grid helps reveal these qualities:
74
- Complementary Traits: If one partner has strengths where the
other has weaknesses, they can balance each other well. For
example, if one partner has the Arrow of Emotional Balance (2,
5, 8) and the other has the Arrow of Willpower (4, 5, 6), one
brings harmony while the other brings stability, creating a
balanced relationship.
- Shared Strengths: When both partners share certain arrows, such
as the Arrow of Spirituality (3, 5, 7), they may enjoy a deep
connection and mutual interests, like exploring life’s deeper
meanings together.
- Potential Challenges: Some combinations can bring friction. For
instance, if both partners have the Arrow of Litigation (3, 9), they
may have strong opinions and need to work on open
communication to prevent conflicts from escalating.
Compatibility in Business
In business partnerships, compatibility helps create effective
teamwork and mutual understanding. The Lo Shu Grid can highlight
qualities like leadership, problem-solving, and decision-making,
which are essential in a professional setting:
75
- Business Strengths: A partner with the Arrow of Determination (1,
5, 9) combined with someone who has the Arrow of Science (1, 7)
can form a powerful team. The determined partner brings drive and
focus, while the partner with the Arrow of Science adds curiosity
and analytical skills.
- Balanced Roles: If one person has the Arrow of Practicality (8, 1,
6), focusing on material success, and the other has the Arrow of
Peace of Mind (7, 9), they balance each other. One focuses on
results, while the other helps maintain a calm and harmonious
work environment.
- Areas of Potential Conflict: If both partners have strong
opinions (e.g., both have the Arrow of Detail and Deceit with
numbers 1 and 3), they may need to agree on clear boundaries
and roles to avoid misunderstandings or competition.
Punch Lines for Number Combinations: Fun
Insights
Using number combinations in the Lo Shu Grid, we can create punch
lines or fun phrases to summarize personality traits. These are
lighthearted yet insightful ways to understand the qualities 76
associated with specific combinations:
- 1-4: “Sometimes King, Sometimes Beggar” – Reflects a person
who experiences both highs and lows but always strives to
bounce back.
- 2-5: “Heart of Gold with a Practical Soul” – Indicates a caring
person who is also grounded and realistic.
- 3-6: “The Dreamer and the Doer” – Represents someone who
dreams big but also has the drive to make those dreams a
reality. -
-4-9: “Thinker with a Cause” – Shows a person who combines
practical thinking with a desire to help others or work for a cause.
- 5-7: “Exploring the Depths” – Reflects someone who enjoys
exploring deeper meanings in life and is often drawn to learning.
- 7-8: “The Magnetic Personality” – Indicates someone with a
strong presence who attracts others, often through charm and
confidence.
77
78
Practical Uses and Applications in Daily Life
The Lo Shu Grid and numerology offer practical ways to
understand and improve daily life. By applying numerological
insights, people can enhance their personal growth,
relationships, and even their environment. Here’s how
numerology can be used in areas like mobile numbers, signature
analysis, and house numbers.
Numerology Applications
1. Mobile Numbers Analysis
- Mobile Numbers: Your mobile number can reveal hidden patterns
about your personality and life path. In numerology, each number
has a meaning. By adding up all the digits in your mobile number
and reducing it to a single digit (or Master Number like 11, 22, etc.),
you can discover its influence on your communication style and
interactions.
- For example, if your mobile number adds up to 5, it
represents adaptability, freedom, and adventure. People with
this number may find themselves frequently on the move or
constantly seeking new experiences.
- Changing or choosing a mobile number that resonates with your
goals (such as success, balance, or better relationships) can positively
influence your life. 79
Influence of House/Home Numbers on
Life(address of your home)
- House/Home Numbers: The number of your house has a unique
vibration and energy that can influence the atmosphere and the
people living there. In numerology, house numbers are reduced to
a single digit (unless they are a Master Number like 11 or 22) to
determine their energy. -
House NO. 1 - A great place for independence, new beginnings, and
leadership. People living in a number 1 house are often driven and
focused on personal goals.
Number 2 House: This house promotes cooperation, peace, and
emotional bonding. It’s a place where people connect deeply and
support one another.
Number 3 House: Creative and lively energy fills a number 3
house. It is perfect for artists, communicators, and anyone who
enjoys expressing themselves freely.
Number 8 House: This house resonates with power, ambition,
and success. It is ideal for people focused on career growth
and financial stability.
80
- Adjusting House Energy: If you find that your house number’s
energy doesn’t align with your goals or lifestyle, you can adjust it
with small changes. For example, adding a small number to your
door (like placing a “1” sticker next to your number) can change
the vibration of your home.
Note: Mobile numbers and house numbers are vast topics and
cannot be fully described here.
Remedies for Missing or Repeated Elements
in the Lo Shu Grid
In the Lo Shu Grid, the presence or absence of certain numbers
can highlight areas of strength or potential challenges. Missing
elements may indicate traits that need development, while
repeated elements can amplify certain qualities. By using specific
remedies, individuals can balance their grid and improve different
aspects of their lives, including career, relationships, and wealth.
Remedies for Missing Elements
1. Using Colors: - Colors have a powerful effect on energy.
Surrounding yourself with colors linked to the missing number can
81
help balance its influence.
- For example, if you are missing the number 4, you can use more
green in your clothing, home decor, or workspace to encourage
stability and growth.
2. Crystals and Stones:
- Different crystals resonate with specific numbers. Carrying or
wearing these crystals can enhance their energy.
- Example: If 8 is missing from your grid, Black Obsidian can help
bring focus and ambition.
3. Directions and Placement:
- Spend more time in specific directions within your home to
amplify the qualities of a missing number.
- For example, if you are missing 1, spending time in the North
direction can promote leadership and confidence.
4. Daily Practices and Activities:
- Engage in activities that build the traits associated with the
missing number.
- Example: If 2 is missing, practice empathy, spend more time with
loved ones, or engage in teamwork exercises to cultivate emotional
connection. 82
The Lo Shu Grid can help you improve different areas of your life by
using targeted practices and remedies. Here’s how it can be
applied:
1. Career:
- Enhancing Success: If you want to boost your career, focus on
numbers related to ambition and leadership, such as 1 and 8.
Surround yourself with red (for energy and motivation) or use
crystals like Citrine to enhance productivity.
- Overcoming Obstacles: If you face challenges with
communication or teamwork, strengthen the energy of 2 and 3 by
engaging in public speaking or collaborative work.
2. Relationships:
- Building Harmony: If you lack emotional connection or struggle
with family dynamics, focus on numbers like 2 (for emotional
connection) or 6 (for nurturing relationships). Spend time in the
Southwest direction of your home or wear colors like pink to invite

Spiritual Growth and Symbolism in the Lo Shu
Grid
The Lo Shu Grid is more than just a numerology tool; it holds deep
spiritual and symbolic significance. It reflects the flow of energy,
connects with concepts like chakras and yin-yang balance, and is
even influenced by seasonal changes. Let’s explore how the Lo Shu
Grid plays a role in spiritual growth and balance.
Connection with Chakras and Energy Flow
In spirituality, chakras represent the energy centers in the body,
and the Lo Shu Grid aligns with this idea by influencing the flow of
energy in our lives.
- Chakras and Numbers:
- Each number in the Lo Shu Grid can correspond to different
chakras, reflecting how energy flows through the body.
- For example, the number 1 often represents the Root Chakra,
which is associated with grounding and stability, while 7 aligns with
the Crown Chakra, representing spiritual awakening and higher
consciousness. 97
- Balancing Energy Flow:
- When a number is missing in your Lo Shu Grid, it can indicate an
imbalance in the corresponding chakra. This imbalance might
affect how you feel, think, or act in life.
- Example: If the number 3 is missing, it may relate to issues with
the Solar Plexus Chakra, which controls self-confidence and
personal power. Balancing this energy through practices like
meditation, affirmations, or specific activities can help.
- Using the Grid for Chakra Balancing:
- By identifying strengths and weaknesses in the Lo Shu Grid, you
can work on specific chakras to bring balance and harmony. This
can be done through visualization, using colors associated with
each number or chakra, and engaging in daily practices that
resonate with the missing or weakened elements.
Yin-Yang Balance in Personality
The concept of yin and yang is central to Chinese philosophy
and represents the duality and balance of opposite forces in
life. The Lo Shu Grid can reflect this balance in a person’s
98
personality,
helping to understand and harmonize opposing traits.
- Understanding Yin and Yang:
- Yin represents feminine, passive, and nurturing qualities, while
Yang represents masculine, active, and assertive qualities.
Together, they create a balanced and harmonious personality
when properly aligned.
- Each number in the Lo Shu Grid can carry yin or yang energy.
For example, 2 is considered a yin number (gentle and
cooperative), while 9 is a yang number (dynamic and strong-
willed).
- Balancing Yin and Yang Using the Grid: - If your Lo Shu Grid shows
an excess of yang numbers (like multiple 1s and 9s), you may
appear overly assertive or driven. Balancing this energy with yin
qualities, such as compassion and
