Lo Shu Grid Calculator

The Lo Shu Grid places the digits of your date of birth into a fixed 3x3 magic square whose every row, column and diagonal adds up to 15. Which numbers appear, repeat or go missing reveals your innate strengths and the qualities you are here to develop.

Your date of birth
Your DOB digits fill the Lo Shu magic square.

How the Lo Shu Grid works

The Lo Shu Grid is an ancient 3x3 magic square in which each row, column and diagonal totals 15. Every cell holds a fixed number, running from 1 in the bottom-middle to 9 in the top-middle.

To build your grid, each non-zero digit of your date of birth is dropped into its matching cell. Repeated digits stack up in the same cell, so a strongly repeated number becomes an area of pronounced strength, while a number you have none of leaves its cell blank.

  • Standard layout: 4-9-2 (top row), 3-5-7 (middle row), 8-1-6 (bottom row)
  • Present numbers = natural strengths; repeated numbers intensify them
  • Missing numbers = qualities to develop consciously; zeros are not placed on the grid

Arrows (planes) of strength and weakness

Each complete line through the grid is called an arrow or plane. When all three of its numbers are present in your date of birth it forms an arrow of strength; when all three are absent it is an arrow of weakness, pointing to an area to work on.

  • Rows: the Mental (4-9-2), Emotional (3-5-7) and Practical (8-1-6) planes
  • Columns: the planes of Thought (4-3-8), Will (9-5-1) and Action (2-7-6)
  • Diagonals: the Golden Yog (4-5-6) and the Silver / Property Yog (2-5-8)

How to make your Lo Shu Grid

  1. Enter your date of birth: Provide your day, month and year of birth.
  2. Place the digits: Each non-zero digit is set in its fixed cell of the 3x3 grid, with repeated digits stacking in the same cell.
  3. Read strengths and gaps: Present numbers show your strengths, missing numbers show areas to develop, and complete lines form the arrows of strength and weakness.
