NINE STAR KI ASTROLOGY
Nine
hundred years earlier, the shaman king Fu Hsi, described the Earlier
Heaven pakua, which appeared to him on the back of a horse that emerged
from the same Yellow River. This
pattern was called the Ho-tu and to understand its meaning, is to
understand the structure of the Universe. But,
it is the Lo-shu that we see incorporated in the bagua, or pakua, the
kua system, the Eight Aspirations and the Flying Star method.
Where the Ho-tu pakua describes the order of things, the Lo-shu
predicts the changes of Heaven and Earth, the cycles of the seasons, and
the wind and the water. Figure

What
I’m going to talk about is the 9 Star Ki Astrology, which is a
Japanese system of divination based on the Chinese Lo-shu
(In China, its referred to as White & Purple Star Astrology).
It is an astrological system that uses your birthdate to
determine your personality, emotional character and outward behavior.
This system does not determine your individual element or
auspicious direction. If you want to know your element, then I will
direct you towards Four Pillar of Destiny Astrology—a whole different
ball game. Or, if you’re looking to find the ‘right’ direction to
point your head while sleeping, I believe you’ll find that in the kua
system. However, 9 Star Ki does have something called the Ki-energy of
Direction of Movement, and that tells us, if you travel in a direction
that is deemed unfavorable for your Principal number for that particular
time period, it could prove unlucky.
But, let’s worry about that at some other time. Take
a look at the 9 Star Ki square that’s illustrated above.
It’s important to memorize the movement from one box to the
next. It looks like a
puzzle, doesn’t it? I’m
going to assume you have some knowledge of the baqua and the Five
Elements. If you do, this
will help. Here’s a way
to help you memorize the puzzle. We start at 3.
Why? Because,
that’s Chen on the baqua and that represents ‘young wood’, early
spring. In other words: New
Beginnings. Then, move to
Hsun (4), ‘mature wood’. From
there, it’s the Tai chi (5), to Chyan (6), to Dui (7), to Ken (8), to
Li (9), to Kan (1) and then to Kun (2), the trigram that represents
Mother on the baqua, which is nourishment.
This is the movement of chi by the second, by the minute, by the
hour, by the day and by the year. It
always starts at Chen and ends at Kun, the place we stop to nourish
ourselves before starting again. Below,
are the ten charts of the Movement of Chi. Notice how the number five
moves throughout the chart. Figure

To
find the chart of your birth, count backward from the year 2000, where 9
is in the center. For
example, lets take someone’s birth date that is April 7th,
1964. If we keep counting back to 1964 we will see 9 in the center
again. A birthday of
February 13th 1952 we will find 3 in the center.
That central number is your Principle Number. Click
