Plot your birth date in the 3x3 Lo Shu magic square.
Do zeros go on the grid?
No. The Lo Shu square has cells for 1 to 9 only, so zeros in a birth date are simply not placed. This is why dates from the 2000s often produce sparser grids than dates from the 1900s.
What does it mean if a number appears three or four times?
It is read as amplified — that quality is strongly present, and in excess it takes on the number's difficult side rather than its useful one. Three 9s is read as considerable drive; it is also read as a temper.
Is a missing number bad?
No. It describes a quality the birth date did not hand you automatically, which the tradition says can be built deliberately. Every missing-number page on this site is mostly about how, and the practices are ordinary — a scheduled hour, a written system, a daily walk.
What are the Golden and Raja yogas?
The two diagonals: 4-5-6 (the Golden Yoga) and 2-5-8 (the Raja Yoga). Both pass through the centre. Having either complete is singled out in the tradition as unusually favourable.
Is this the same as the Lo Shu in feng shui?
Same square, different use. Feng shui maps it onto a building's directions; Vedic numerology maps a birth date onto it. The grid is shared, the reading is not.
