What Is a Lo Shu Grid?

A Lo Shu grid is a 3x3 square grid where each diagonal or straight line of three numbers adds up to 15. The idea originated in Chinese numerology thousands of years ago, and the grid is used to analyze a person's strengths and weaknesses in life.

Here's the grid:

492
357
816

Each number in the grid has a specific meaning:

  • 1: Represents career and job success
  • 2: Represents marriage, relationships, and happiness
  • 3: Represents health, wisdom, and education
  • 4: Represents luck, money, wealth, and overall prosperity
  • 5: Represents stability, communication, and balance
  • 6: Represents friends, helping others, and new opportunities
  • 7: Represents mental creativity
  • 8: Represents knowledge, motivation, and memory
  • 9: Represents fame, social life, recognition, and reputation

While there is the standard Lo Shu grid shown above, each person has their own Lo Shu grid based on their birthday. Simply take your birthdate and add the numbers to their respective spots on the grid.

You'll also need to calculate your personality number (your date of birth) and your destiny number (adding up all numbers in your birthdate until you reach a single digit).

For example, if you were born on July 6th, 1982, the numbers you'd add to the grid are 7, 6, 1, 9, 8, 2. You'd also add 6 as your personality number (born on the 6th = 6) and another 6 as your destiny number (7+6+1+9+8+2=33, 3+3=6).

If you have more than one of the same number, add them all to the respective spot.

Using this example, your grid would look like this:

92
7
81666

If certain numbers are missing from your grid (such as 3, 4, and 5 in the example), it may indicate qualities and characteristics you lack and need to work on to achieve a more balanced life.
