Lo Shu Grid Calculator

The Lo Shu Grid is a 3×3 magic square from ancient China in which every row, column and diagonal adds up to 15. Chinese and Vedic numerology use it as a map: write the digits of your birth date into their fixed positions (4-9-2 across the top, 3-5-7 in the middle, 8-1-6 along the bottom) and the pattern that appears describes your strengths, gaps and tendencies.

Numbers that appear more than once are amplified traits. Numbers that are missing are the lessons — a missing 5 often points to difficulty with balance and change, a missing 1 to trouble asserting yourself. When a full line is present it forms an "arrow": three digits across the top, for example, is the Arrow of Intellect; a complete 8-1-6 row is the Arrow of Practicality.

Enter your date of birth to draw your grid. Zeros are not placed in the square. For the Western numbers derived from the same date, see the Numerology Chart calculator.
