Birth chart

To arrive to your birth square, take your Number to the center of an empty Luo Shu and take the other Numbers to their appointed Houses.

You are in the center, all other Numbers show your environment.

Your focus of attention in life will be where you find the Number 5.
Your low years will be where you will find Number 1, or you may marry here, or fall pregnant.
You will likely travel where you find the 4 Wood.
Events surrounding your family or studies may happen where you find 2 Earth.

Let us return to our 7 Metal person having to move away on an assignment and see why it is probable that the person is a teacher or a scientist. This is the birth chart of a 7 Metal person, so this is what we find:

2 Earth House is, amongst others, studies.
Square shows 4 Wood in House of studies.
Documents (4) and studies (2) are indicated.
Travels (4) related to studies are important.
5 shows the person’s drive, 5 shows events.
He is an initiator (3), perhaps pioneer.
3 is inventions, ideas.

7 is most likely a leader of people/projects.
5 is also a building, but an ‘official’ building.
5 in 3 Wood House may indicate university.

It goes without saying that many other things are possible, like the person being an author. It is just to show you one of many ways in which to interpret the Luo Shu. In following this type of reading, you need to take a person's current situation into account, like is the person married, is he a student, self-employed.

The same Star - say 4 - may indicate different things for a student or an employer. You will be able to narrow down your observations by knowing as many details about your client as you can.
