About the lo shu grid

The Lo Shu grid is a 3×3 magic square in which every row, column and diagonal adds to 15. Placing the digits of your date of birth into it shows at a glance which numbers appear often in your chart, which appear once, and which are absent altogether.

Missing numbers are usually read as areas that need conscious attention rather than as deficiencies, and repeated numbers as traits that are strongly emphasised, sometimes to excess. Your mulank and bhagyank are added to the grid as well, since both are considered active influences.

Zeros occupy no cell: the grid only holds 1 through 9, so a date with several zeros produces a sparser grid than one without.

Lo Shu grid, questions people ask

What does a missing number mean in the Lo Shu grid?
It is generally read as an area of life that needs deliberate development rather than something innately lacking. A full report explains which area each missing number points to and what to do about it.
Why are zeros ignored?
The Lo Shu grid is a 1-9 magic square: there is no cell for zero. Dates containing several zeros simply produce a sparser grid.
Is the Lo Shu grid the same as a kundli?
No. A kundli is an astrological birth chart based on planetary positions and requires your time and place of birth. The Lo Shu grid uses only the digits of your birth date.
