To find your Energetic Number is a bit tricky. So, pay attention. Go back to the original Lo-shu Magic Square. Now, place your Character Number in the center. What is it? A five? A three? Place that Lo-shu with your central number over the Lo-shu Magic Square. Where your Principle Number falls, the number underneath is your Energetic Number.



Place on top


When you place it over the Lo-shu Magic Square you will see that the Principle Number falls on top of the 7. That 7 is your Energetic Number. A person with this birthdate, is 3-1-7.

Now, what do all these numbers mean? Well, lets take a look at ourselves- the good and the bad.

One: Kan, water. There are two types of water chi: Still and moving. Still waters run deep. This type is shy, secretive. Moods run from one extreme to the next. Knows a little about a lot. Ones are complainers and they don't like to follow chain of command. They have trouble finishing things. Moving waters like to stir things up. They are strong & very independent. They love travel. Be careful not to isolate yourself too much, for One is the loneliest number.

Two: Kun, earth. Represents Mother on trigram. Nourishing, tactful, sincere & loyal. Always finding shortcuts to complete their work. They are motherly & conservative. Women tend to treat their boyfriends like babies. A 2 person is reserved & gentle. They tend to build their lives slowly, but surely.

Three: Chen, wood; spring. They have tremendous energy and a youthful demeanor. May have younger mates. They love to try new things first, but they get bored easily and move on quickly. Trendsetters. Quick tempers. Usually good with money, but can be a spendthrift. Their bluntness can get them in trouble. Stay away from drugs and alcohol, can become addictive & behave badly. Good occupations are entertainers; fashion models; healers & teachers (especially with children).

Four: Hsun, mature wood. Practical; stubborn; vulnerable in love. Their personality is like the Wind, hard to grasp and forever changing directions. Indecisiveness makes them miss many opportunities. They are resistant to change. Sensitive; good listeners. Charismatic auras. They make good musicians, artists and counselors.

Five: Tai Chi; earth. Power & leadership. They are the Center, the Soul of an organization. The men can be womanizers. And, the women can spoil their man. They're usually surrounded by many dependent people. But, they love to take people under their wings. Very practical skills. Usually receives help from strangers. They make good politicians; judges; army officers.

Six: Chyan; metal. Very efficient and on time. People are usually afraid of them, so they have difficulties in relationships. Sharp-tongued and strong-willed. Hard worker, but be careful not to rush. In the beginning, they are your benefactor, then later, you become their 'slave'. Good careers for a Six would be a lawyer, psychologist or in real estate.

Seven: Dui; unrefined metal. Charming, sociable and they really enjoy life. A smooth talker. However, they'll do what ever it takes to get what they want even if it includes losing their dignity. Like a child, they don't like to share. They are bad housekeepers. And, they love luxury.

Eight: Ken; earth. Intelligent; well-groomed; loves courtship & to be woo. Eights are born with perfect, shapely figures. Very demanding of others. Very dramatic luck. A joke teller. And, a very nice person. They make good comedians, scientists, lawyers and editors.

Nine: Li; fire. A Super auspicious number. Nines are well-known and kindly. Very aware of their appearance and always competing for the spotlight. Nines are very proud. They have an air of superiority around them. Impulsive behavior can make them inconsiderate to others. Nines are show business people; other careers would include fashion designer; fashion models; and politicians.

Once you have found your own Principle, Character and Energetic numbers, you can do your lovers, friends and family. If you understand the relationship between the Five Elements, you can see how your number gets along with others. If you're unfamiliar with the Five Elements, then take a peek on my page "History of Feng Shui" and review the destructive and creative cycles.

A 3 person is wood and will energize a 9, who is fire (wood feeds fire). A 6, who is metal, will be in conflict with a 3 or a 4, since metal chops down wood. A 3 with a 3 is a very energetic couple that will be making love all the time. In relationships, it's a good idea to have at least one number that is the same.

Lets put all three Personality numbers together and see what we get. Lets do 9 Star Ki on two celebrities and see how close I get to their public persona.

Russell Crowe: April 7th 1964 9-3-2 He is proud, but conservative. For him, anything less than perfection is unsatisfactory. He appears quiet and gentle, but underneath he is controlled by intense sensitivity and passion. Once his mind is set on something, this type will go after it with such intensity that others will be amazed. May appear indecisive, but he's just being overly cautious. When faced with a serious problem, may become stormy and forceful. Unfortunately, this kind of sudden reaction could interfere with relationships. May have had a strong mother who was very influential in molding his views on male-female roles. Anyone with these number combinations wants perfection & total satisfaction in their love life. Because of his pride, this type will have trouble forming harmonious relationships with others. They also aim for success, fame & power. But, remember to stay realistic; watch out for that stormy nature; respect those around you & keep that pride in order.

Madonna: August 16th 1958 6-8-3 We all know her as bigger than life, but did you know that she is quite magnanimous? This number combination makes them very stylish, which gives them strong social appeal. She's discriminative in her choice of friends & associates. If she likes you, she'll be very considerate, if she doesn't--she'll avoid you completely. This type expends a lot of energy to achieve their goals. But, their rashness can cause them to loose balance & judgment. Because she wants so many things she can find it hard to zero in on just one activity at a time. She may overpower others, often to the point of alienating them, especially other women. This type must learn not to rush into things where impatience could ruin all. They also have good luck in money matters & fame. Remember, stay considerate of others & let that magnanimous nature work for you.

We can take 9 Star Ki one step further and use it as a divination tool. By watching the movement of your Principle Number throughout the lo-shu we can determine our yearly trends. For example, this year, 9, is in the tai chi (center) position. So, if your Principle Number is 9, not only will everything you buy this year will be or have a 9 in it, but, you can expect to be in the center of things, good & bad. Next year, 2001, the 9 will move into the chyan position, which will bring many benefactors. For all you 9's out there, trends should stay positive for you until the year 2005. Expect that year to be 'not so hot'. The year 2006, you'll pause to replenish yourself and 2007, will start you off on a new beginning.
