The story of this square’s origin dates back to almost 4000 years old China.
Legend says that Chinese people found a tortoise shell during the flood of
the river Luo
This tortoise-shell had a 3×3 square on its back and the sum of every
horizontal, vertical, and diagonal row was added up to 15. Now 15 is the
number of days between the new moon and the full moon. Number 5 was
also highly regarded in ancient China and this magic square had a number
5 in the center.
The diagram below illustrates the relationship between the eight-sided Pa-
Kua and the nine grids Lo-Shu magic square. Please note that the Pa-Kua
shown here places the direction of South at the top, to correspond with the
number 9. This is because the Chinese compass places South at the top, and
to ensure consistency and accuracy, it is necessary when relationships
between symbols are being analyzed, and to comply with the practice
followed in the ancient manuals.

every direction.

Lo Shu Grid
How to calculate
• Take last two digits of your birth year. Add them and reduce it to base
number (single digit)
• For second step we need to check if client is male or female and we
also need to check if they are born before 2000 or from 2000 onwards.
These factors decide if we will do addition or subtraction
• For Female born before 2000 we will add 5 to the step 1 base number
to get the Kua number (it is also base number)
• For Female born from 2000 we will add 6 to the step 1 base number to
get the Kua number (it is also base number)
• For Male born before 2000 we will subtract the step 1 base number
from 10 to get the Kua number (it is also base number)
• For Male born from 2000 we will subtract the step 1 base number from
9 to get the Kua number (it is also base number)
Additional point for Males born on 2009, 2018, 2027… (in multiple of 9)
the Kua number will be 9 not 0.
