14 May Explained: Lo Shu
The Lo Shu Grid can help you to harmonise your life. It is an ancient Chinese numerological practice and offers insights into your ‘personality’ and ‘life path’. By interpreting its patterns, you can address life challenges and find solutions to guide your choices and create positive changes.
It is said that the Lo Shu Grid has its roots in a time about 4,000 years ago. A mystical turtle made its appearance from the depths of the Yellow River in China. On its shell was a unique nine-square grid, with numbers ranging from 1 to 9 in each square. This grid became an integral part of Feng Shui and Taoist practices. Offering insight into the harmonious flow of chi.
How does it work
The Lo Shu grid is a square arrangement of nine cells, each numbered from 1 to 9. It reflects various facets of an individual’s situation as determined by their date of birth.
The grid’s numbers are a mirror to your unique characteristics and the energy you embody. Delving into the numbers linked to your birth date reveals your innate talents and the hurdles you may face. It helps you to understand your ‘personality’.
It helps you to balance your life by identifying which areas of your life are well-developed and which may need attention.
By studying the patterns on your grid, you can gain insights to help in making choices. To balance and to grow in various areas of your life, such as career, relationships, and finances.
The Lo Shu Grid can serve as a guide to help you navigate through life’s changes and challenges. Aiming to create harmony in your surroundings.
The grid is often used in Feng Shui to determine the auspiciousness of certain directions or placements within your home or office, potentially bringing in positive energy.
